Recently, we had some servers upgraded to the latest kernel and noticed
the indicator from the user side showed worse results than before. It is
caused by the limitation of tp->rcv_wnd.
In 2018 commit a337531b94 ("tcp: up initial rmem to 128KB and SYN rwin
to around 64KB") limited the initial value of tp->rcv_wnd to 65535, most
CDN teams would not benefit from this change because they cannot have a
large window to receive a big packet, which will be slowed down especially
in long RTT. Small rcv_wnd means slow transfer speed, to some extent. It's
the side effect for the latency/time-sensitive users.
To avoid future confusion, current change doesn't affect the initial
receive window on the wire in a SYN or SYN+ACK packet which are set within
65535 bytes according to RFC 7323 also due to the limit in
__tcp_transmit_skb():
th->window = htons(min(tp->rcv_wnd, 65535U));
In one word, __tcp_transmit_skb() already ensures that constraint is
respected, no matter how large tp->rcv_wnd is. The change doesn't violate
RFC.
Let me provide one example if with or without the patch:
Before:
client --- SYN: rwindow=65535 ---> server
client <--- SYN+ACK: rwindow=65535 ---- server
client --- ACK: rwindow=65536 ---> server
Note: for the last ACK, the calculation is 512 << 7.
After:
client --- SYN: rwindow=65535 ---> server
client <--- SYN+ACK: rwindow=65535 ---- server
client --- ACK: rwindow=175232 ---> server
Note: I use the following command to make it work:
ip route change default via [ip] dev eth0 metric 100 initrwnd 120
For the last ACK, the calculation is 1369 << 7.
When we apply such a patch, having a large rcv_wnd if the user tweak this
knob can help transfer data more rapidly and save some rtts.

While investigating TCP performance, I found that TCP would
sometimes send big skbs followed by a single MSS skb,
in a 'locked' pattern.
For instance, BIG TCP is enabled, MSS is set to have 4096 bytes
of payload per segment. gso_max_size is set to 181000.
This means that an optimal TCP packet size should contain
44 * 4096 = 180224 bytes of payload,
However, I was seeing packets sizes interleaved in this pattern:
172032, 8192, 172032, 8192, 172032, 8192, <repeat>
tcp_tso_should_defer() heuristic is defeated, because after a split of
a packet in write queue for whatever reason (this might be a too small
CWND or a small enough pacing_rate),
the leftover packet in the queue is smaller than the optimal size.
It is time to try to make 'leftover packets' bigger so that
tcp_tso_should_defer() can give its full potential.
After this patch, we can see the following output:

Additionally in the later patch in the series we add page_pool support

If we use tcp_trim_head() to remove acked SYN from packet that contains data

Using precalculated traffic keys, sign TCP segments as prescribed by
RFC5925. Per RFC, TCP header options are included in sign calculation:
"The TCP header, by default including options, and where the TCP
checksum and TCP-AO MAC fields are set to zero, all in network-
byte order." (5.1.3)
tcp_ao_hash_header() has exclude_options parameter to optionally exclude
TCP header from hash calculation, as described in RFC5925 (9.1), this is
needed for interaction with middleboxes that may change "some TCP
options". This is wired up to AO key flags and setsockopt() later.
Similarly to TCP-MD5 hash TCP segment fragments.
From this moment a user can start sending TCP-AO signed segments with
one of crypto ahash algorithms from supported by Linux kernel. It can
have a user-specified MAC length, to either save TCP option header space
or provide higher protection using a longer signature.
The inbound segments are not yet verified, TCP-AO option is ignored and
they are accepted.

Be as conservative as possible: if there is TCP-MD5 key for a given peer
regardless of L3 interface - don't allow setting TCP-AO key for the same
peer. According to RFC5925, TCP-AO is supposed to replace TCP-MD5 and
there can't be any switch between both on any connected tuple.
Later it can be relaxed, if there's a use, but in the beginning restrict
any intersection.
Note: it's still should be possible to set both TCP-MD5 and TCP-AO keys
on a listening socket for *different* peers.

RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG was added before the first git commit:
https://www.mail-archive.com/bk-commits-head@vger.kernel.org/msg03399.html
The feature would send packets to the fragmentation path if a box
receives a PMTU value with less than 1280 byte. However, since commit
9d289715eb ("ipv6: stop sending PTB packets for MTU < 1280"), such
message would be simply discarded. The feature flag is neither supported

Back in 2015, Van Jacobson suggested to use usec resolution in TCP TS values.
This has been implemented in our private kernels.
Goals were :
1) better observability of delays in networking stacks.
2) better disambiguation of events based on TSval/ecr values.
3) building block for congestion control modules needing usec resolution.
Back then we implemented a schem based on private SYN options
to negotiate the feature.
For upstream submission, we chose to use a route attribute,
because this feature is probably going to be used in private
networks [1] [2].
ip route add 10/8 ... features tcp_usec_ts
Note that RFC 7323 recommends a
"timestamp clock frequency in the range 1 ms to 1 sec per tick.",
but also mentions
"the maximum acceptable clock frequency is one tick every 59 ns."
[1] Unfortunately RFC 7323 5.5 (Outdated Timestamps) suggests
to invalidate TS.Recent values after a flow was idle for more
than 24 days. This is the part making usec_ts a problem
for peers following this recommendation for long living
idle flows.
[2] Attempts to standardize usec ts went nowhere:

In commit 75eefc6c59 ("tcp: tsq: add a shortcut in tcp_small_queue_check()")
we allowed to send an skb regardless of TSQ limits being hit if rtx queue
was empty or had a single skb, in order to better fill the pipe
when/if TX completions were slow.
Then later, commit 75c119afe1 ("tcp: implement rb-tree based
retransmit queue") accidentally removed the special case for
one skb in rtx queue.
Stefan Wahren reported a regression in single TCP flow throughput
using a 100Mbit fec link, starting from commit 65466904b0 ("tcp: adjust
TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt"). This last commit only made the
regression more visible, because it locked the TCP flow on a particular
behavior where TSQ prevented two skbs being pushed downstream,
adding silences on the wire between each TSO packet.
Many thanks to Stefan for his invaluable help !

We discovered from packet traces of slow loss recovery on kernels with
the default HZ=250 setting (and min_rtt < 1ms) that after reordering,
when receiving a SACKed sequence range, the RACK reordering timer was
firing after about 16ms rather than the desired value of roughly
min_rtt/4 + 2ms. The problem is largely due to the RACK reorder timer
calculation adding in TCP_TIMEOUT_MIN, which is 2 jiffies. On kernels
with HZ=250, this is 2*4ms = 8ms. The TLP timer calculation has the
exact same issue.
This commit fixes the TLP transmit timer and RACK reordering timer
floor calculation to more closely match the intended 2ms floor even on
kernels with HZ=250. It does this by adding in a new
TCP_TIMEOUT_MIN_US floor of 2000 us and then converting to jiffies,
instead of the current approach of converting to jiffies and then
adding th TCP_TIMEOUT_MIN value of 2 jiffies.
Our testing has verified that on kernels with HZ=1000, as expected,
this does not produce significant changes in behavior, but on kernels
with the default HZ=250 the latency improvement can be large. For
example, our tests show that for HZ=250 kernels at low RTTs this fix
roughly halves the latency for the RACK reorder timer: instead of
mostly firing at 16ms it mostly fires at 8ms.

This commit fixes quick-ack counting so that it only considers that a
quick-ack has been provided if we are sending an ACK that newly
acknowledges data.
The code was erroneously using the number of data segments in outgoing
skbs when deciding how many quick-ack credits to remove. This logic
does not make sense, and could cause poor performance in
request-response workloads, like RPC traffic, where requests or
responses can be multi-segment skbs.
When a TCP connection decides to send N quick-acks, that is to
accelerate the cwnd growth of the congestion control module
controlling the remote endpoint of the TCP connection. That quick-ack
decision is purely about the incoming data and outgoing ACKs. It has
nothing to do with the outgoing data or the size of outgoing data.
And in particular, an ACK only serves the intended purpose of allowing
the remote congestion control to grow the congestion window quickly if
the ACK is ACKing or SACKing new data.
The fix is simple: only count packets as serving the goal of the
quickack mechanism if they are ACKing/SACKing new data. We can tell
whether this is the case by checking inet_csk_ack_scheduled(), since
we schedule an ACK exactly when we are ACKing/SACKing new data.

While BPF allows to set icsk->->icsk_delack_max
and/or icsk->icsk_rto_min, we have an ip route
attribute (RTAX_RTO_MIN) to be able to tune rto_min,
but nothing to consequently adjust max delayed ack,
which vary from 40ms to 200 ms (TCP_DELACK_{MIN|MAX}).
This makes RTAX_RTO_MIN of almost no practical use,
unless customers are in big trouble.
Modern days datacenter communications want to set
rto_min to ~5 ms, and the max delayed ack one jiffie
smaller to avoid spurious retransmits.
After this patch, an "rto_min 5" route attribute will
effectively lower max delayed ack timers to 4 ms.

This idea came after a particular workload requested
the quickack attribute set on routes, and a performance
drop was noticed for large bulk transfers.
For high throughput flows, it is best to use one cpu
running the user thread issuing socket system calls,
and a separate cpu to process incoming packets from BH context.
(With TSO/GRO, bottleneck is usually the 'user' cpu)
Problem is the user thread can spend a lot of time while holding
the socket lock, forcing BH handler to queue most of incoming
packets in the socket backlog.
Whenever the user thread releases the socket lock, it must first
process all accumulated packets in the backlog, potentially
adding latency spikes. Due to flood mitigation, having too many
packets in the backlog increases chance of unexpected drops.
Backlog processing unfortunately shifts a fair amount of cpu cycles
from the BH cpu to the 'user' cpu, thus reducing max throughput.
This patch takes advantage of the backlog processing,
and the fact that ACK are mostly cumulative.
The idea is to detect we are in the backlog processing
and defer all eligible ACK into a single one,
sent from tcp_release_cb().
This saves cpu cycles on both sides, and network resources.
Performance of a single TCP flow on a 200Gbit NIC:
- Throughput is increased by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).
- Number of generated ACK per second shrinks from 240,000 to 40,000.
- Number of backlog drops per second shrinks from 230 to 0.
Benchmark context:
- Regular netperf TCP_STREAM (no zerocopy)
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8481C (Saphire Rapids)
- MAX_SKB_FRAGS = 17 (~60KB per GRO packet)

Enabling BIG TCP on a low end platform apparently increased
chances of getting flows locked on one busy TX queue.
A similar problem was handled in commit 9b462d02d6
("tcp: TCP Small Queues and strange attractors"),
but the strategy worked for either bulk flows,
or 'large enough' RPC. BIG TCP changed how large
RPC needed to be to enable the work around:
If RPC fits in a single skb, TSQ never triggers.
Root cause for the problem is a busy TX queue,
with delayed TX completions.
This patch changes how we set skb->ooo_okay to detect
the case TX completion was not done, but incoming ACK
already was processed and emptied rtx queue.

TCP socket saves the minimum required header length in tcp_header_len
of struct tcp_sock, and later the value is used in __tcp_fast_path_on()
to generate a part of TCP header in tcp_sock(sk)->pred_flags.
In tcp_rcv_established(), if the incoming packet has the same pattern
with pred_flags, we enter the fast path and skip full option parsing.
The MD5 option is parsed in tcp_v[46]_rcv(), so we need not parse it
again later in tcp_rcv_established() unless other options exist. We
add TCPOLEN_MD5SIG_ALIGNED to tcp_header_len in two paths to avoid the
slow path.
For passive open connections with MD5, we add TCPOLEN_MD5SIG_ALIGNED
to tcp_header_len in tcp_create_openreq_child() after 3WHS.
On the other hand, we do it in tcp_connect_init() for active open
connections. However, the value is overwritten while processing
SYN+ACK or crossed SYN in tcp_rcv_synsent_state_process().
These two cases will have the wrong value in pred_flags and never go
into the fast path.
We could update tcp_header_len in tcp_rcv_synsent_state_process(), but
a test with slightly modified netperf which uses MD5 for each flow shows
that the slow path is actually a bit faster than the fast path.
On c5.4xlarge EC2 instance (16 vCPU, 32 GiB mem)
$ for i in {1..10}; do
./super_netperf $(nproc) -H localhost -l 10 -- -m 256 -M 256;

* all fast path : 10.374 Gbps (patch v2, See Link)
* all slow path : 10.394 Gbps
The header prediction is not worth adding complexity for MD5, so let's
disable it for MD5.

Under certain circumstances, the tcp receive buffer memory limit
set by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf) is increased due to incoming data
packets as a result of the window not closing when it should be.
This can result in the receive buffer growing all the way up to
tcp_rmem[2], even for tcp sessions with a low BDP.
To reproduce: Connect a TCP session with the receiver doing
nothing and the sender sending small packets (an infinite loop
of socket send() with 4 bytes of payload with a sleep of 1 ms
in between each send()). This will cause the tcp receive buffer
to grow all the way up to tcp_rmem[2].
As a result, a host can have individual tcp sessions with receive
buffers of size tcp_rmem[2], and the host itself can reach tcp_mem
limits, causing the host to go into tcp memory pressure mode.
The fundamental issue is the relationship between the granularity
of the window scaling factor and the number of byte ACKed back
to the sender. This problem has previously been identified in
RFC 7323, appendix F [1].
The Linux kernel currently adheres to never shrinking the window.
In addition to the overallocation of memory mentioned above, the
current behavior is functionally incorrect, because once tcp_rmem[2]
is reached when no remediations remain (i.e. tcp collapse fails to
free up any more memory and there are no packets to prune from the
out-of-order queue), the receiver will drop in-window packets
resulting in retransmissions and an eventual timeout of the tcp
session. A receive buffer full condition should instead result
in a zero window and an indefinite wait.
In practice, this problem is largely hidden for most flows. It
is not applicable to mice flows. Elephant flows can send data
fast enough to "overrun" the sk_rcvbuf limit (in a single ACK),
triggering a zero window.
But this problem does show up for other types of flows. Examples
are websockets and other type of flows that send small amounts of
data spaced apart slightly in time. In these cases, we directly
encounter the problem described in [1].
RFC 7323, section 2.4 [2], says there are instances when a retracted
window can be offered, and that TCP implementations MUST ensure
that they handle a shrinking window, as specified in RFC 1122,
section 4.2.2.16 [3]. All prior RFCs on the topic of tcp window
management have made clear that sender must accept a shrunk window
from the receiver, including RFC 793 [4] and RFC 1323 [5].
This patch implements the functionality to shrink the tcp window
when necessary to keep the right edge within the memory limit by
autotuning (sk_rcvbuf). This new functionality is enabled with
the new sysctl: net.ipv4.tcp_shrink_window
