December 2020 - mptcp

by Paolo Abeni

hello, reviving this old topic. I've experimented a bit with the LD_PRELOAD thing. Looks like at least nginx and apache can be forced to use MPTCP instead of TCP with a crafted unit file created automatically from the distro- provided one. e.g. for nginx, adding: Conflicts=nginx.service After=nginx.service into the [unit] section, and: Environment="LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/use_mptcp.so" ExecStartPre=sysctl -w net.mptcp.enabled=1 into the [Service] section. Then I had to fight a bit with selinux. I did not really investigate the issue, I think/fear selinux misunderstood mptcp sockets as raw ones, so default policy fails. A bunch of: ausearch -c 'nginx' --raw | audit2allow -M my-nginx semodule -i my-nginx.pp solved the problem. Bottom line: - the above looks tecnically viable [at least for some services]. I'm looking for a more extended service/daemon list to investigate fourther. I think we could/should really consider package the above in mptcpd or the like. - selinux (surprise, surprise!) can be a problem. Worth looking at it (that is independent from the system we will pick to force MPTCP socket usage) Cheers, Paolo

[PATCH v3] mptcp: let MPTCP create max size skbs

by Paolo Abeni

Currently the xmit path of the MPTCP protocol creates smaller- than-max-size skbs, which is suboptimal for the performances. There are a few things to improve: - when coalescing to an existing skb, must clear the PUSH flag - tcp_build_frag() expect the available space as an argument. When coalescing is enable MPTCP already subtracted the to-be-coalesced skb len. We must increment said argument accordingly.

[PATCH mptcp-next] mptcp: plug subflow context memory leak

by Paolo Abeni

When a MPTCP listener socket is closed with unaccepted children pending, the ULP release callback will be invoked, but nobody will call into __mptcp_close_ssk() on the corresponding subflow. As a consequence, at ULP release time, the 'disposable' flag will be cleared and the subflow context memory will be leaked. This change addresses the issue always freeing the context if the subflow is still in the accept queue at ULP release time. Additionally, this fixes an incorrect code reference in the related comment. Note: this fix leverages the changes introduced by the previous commit. Fixes: e16163b6e2b7 ("mptcp: refactor shutdown and close") Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni(a)redhat.com> --- Note: I plan to push this upstream together with: mptcp: link MPC subflow into msk only after accept since this depends on the above changes, as note in the commit message.

If the above event races with the relevant listener socket close, we can end-up with the above splat. This change addresses the issue delaying the MPC socket insertion in conn_list at accept time - that is, partially reverting the blamed commit. We must additionally ensure that mptcp_pm_fully_established() happens after accept() time, or the PM will not be able to handle properly such event - conn_list could be empty otherwise. In the receive path, we check the subflow list node to ensure it is out of the listener queue. Be sure client subflows do not match transiently such condition moving them into the join list earlier at creation time. Since we now have multiple mptcp_pm_fully_established() call sites from different code-paths, said helper can now race with itself. Use an additional PM status bit to avoid multiple notifications.

[PATCH net-next 0/3] mptcp: reject invalid mp_join requests right away

by Florian Westphal

At the moment MPTCP can detect an invalid join request (invalid token, max number of subflows reached, and so on) right away but cannot reject the connection until the 3WHS has completed. Instead the connection will complete and the subflow is reset afterwards. To send the reset most information is already available, but we don't have good spot where the reset could be sent: 1. The ->init_req callback is too early and also doesn't allow to return an error that could be used to inform the TCP stack that the SYN should be dropped. 2. The ->route_req callback lacks the skb needed to send a reset. 3. The ->send_synack callback is the best fit from the available hooks, but its called after the request socket has been inserted into the queue already. This means we'd have to remove it again right away. From a technical point of view, the second hook would be best: 1. Its before insertion into listener queue. 2. If it returns NULL TCP will drop the packet for us. Problem is that we'd have to pass the skb to the function just for MPTCP. Paolo suggested to merge init_req and route_req callbacks instead: This makes all info available to MPTCP -- a return value of NULL drops the packet and MPTCP can send the reset if needed. Because 'route_req' has a 'const struct sock *', this means either removal of const qualifier, or a bit of code churn to pass 'const' in security land. This does the latter; I did not find any spots that need write access to struct sock. To recap, the two alternatives are: 1. Solve it entirely in MPTCP: use the ->send_synack callback to unlink the request socket from the listener & drop it. 2. Avoid 'security' churn by removing the const qualifier.
