<content type='text'>
The TCPI_OPT_SYN_DATA bit as part of tcpi_options currently reports whether
or not data-in-SYN was ack'd on both the client and server side. We'd like
to gather more information on the client-side in the failure case in order
to indicate the reason for the failure. This can be useful for not only
debugging TFO, but also for creating TFO socket policies. For example, if
a middle box removes the TFO option or drops a data-in-SYN, we can
can detect this case, and turn off TFO for these connections saving the
extra retransmits.

The newly added tcpi_fastopen_client_fail status is 2 bits and has the
following 4 states:

1) TFO_STATUS_UNSPEC

Catch-all state which includes when TFO is disabled via black hole
detection, which is indicated via LINUX_MIB_TCPFASTOPENBLACKHOLE.

2) TFO_COOKIE_UNAVAILABLE

If TFO_CLIENT_NO_COOKIE mode is off, this state indicates that no cookie
is available in the cache.

3) TFO_DATA_NOT_ACKED

Data was sent with SYN, we received a SYN/ACK but it did not cover the data
portion. Cookie is not accepted by server because the cookie may be invalid
or the server may be overloaded.

4) TFO_SYN_RETRANSMITTED

Data was sent with SYN, we received a SYN/ACK which did not cover the data
after at least 1 additional SYN was sent (without data). It may be the case
that a middle-box is dropping data-in-SYN packets. Thus, it would be more
efficient to not use TFO on this connection to avoid extra retransmits
during connection establishment.

These new fields do not cover all the cases where TFO may fail, but other
failures, such as SYN/ACK + data being dropped, will result in the
connection not becoming established. And a connection blackhole after
session establishment shows up as a stalled connection.

<title>tcp: add rcu protection around tp-&gt;fastopen_rsk</title>

<content type='text'>
Both tcp_v4_err() and tcp_v6_err() do the following operations
while they do not own the socket lock :

	fastopen = tp-&gt;fastopen_rsk;
 	snd_una = fastopen ? tcp_rsk(fastopen)-&gt;snt_isn : tp-&gt;snd_una;

The problem is that without appropriate barrier, the compiler
might reload tp-&gt;fastopen_rsk and trigger a NULL deref.

request sockets are protected by RCU, we can simply add
the missing annotations and barriers to solve the issue.

<title>net: fastopen: robustness and endianness fixes for SipHash</title>

<id>urn:sha1:438ac88009bcb10f9ced07fbb4b32d5377ee936b</id>
<content type='text'>
Some changes to the TCP fastopen code to make it more robust
against future changes in the choice of key/cookie size, etc.

- Instead of keeping the SipHash key in an untyped u8[] buffer
  and casting it to the right type upon use, use the correct
  type directly. This ensures that the key will appear at the
  correct alignment if we ever change the way these data
  structures are allocated. (Currently, they are only allocated
  via kmalloc so they always appear at the correct alignment)

- Use DIV_ROUND_UP when sizing the u64[] array to hold the
  cookie, so it is always of sufficient size, even if
  TCP_FASTOPEN_COOKIE_MAX is no longer a multiple of 8.

- Drop the 'len' parameter from the tcp_fastopen_reset_cipher()
  function, which is no longer used.

- Add endian swabbing when setting the keys and calculating the hash,
  to ensure that cookie values are the same for a given key and
  source/destination address pair regardless of the endianness of
  the server.

Note that none of these are functional changes wrt the current
state of the code, with the exception of the swabbing, which only
affects big endian systems.

KMSAN caught uninit-value in tcp_create_openreq_child() [1]
This is caused by a recent change, combined by the fact
that TCP cleared num_timeout, num_retrans and sk fields only
when a request socket was about to be queued.

Under syncookie mode, a temporary request socket is used,
and req-&gt;num_timeout could contain garbage.

Lets clear these three fields sooner, there is really no
point trying to defer this and risk other bugs.

<title>net: ipv4: move tcp_fastopen server side code to SipHash library</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c681edae33e86ff27be2d6cc717663d91df20b0e</id>
<content type='text'>
Using a bare block cipher in non-crypto code is almost always a bad idea,
not only for security reasons (and we've seen some examples of this in
the kernel in the past), but also for performance reasons.

In the TCP fastopen case, we call into the bare AES block cipher one or
two times (depending on whether the connection is IPv4 or IPv6). On most
systems, this results in a call chain such as

  crypto_cipher_encrypt_one(ctx, dst, src)
    crypto_cipher_crt(tfm)-&gt;cit_encrypt_one(crypto_cipher_tfm(tfm), ...);
      aesni_encrypt
        kernel_fpu_begin();
        aesni_enc(ctx, dst, src); // asm routine
        kernel_fpu_end();

It is highly unlikely that the use of special AES instructions has a
benefit in this case, especially since we are doing the above twice
for IPv6 connections, instead of using a transform which can process
the entire input in one go.

We could switch to the cbcmac(aes) shash, which would at least get
rid of the duplicated overhead in *some* cases (i.e., today, only
arm64 has an accelerated implementation of cbcmac(aes), while x86 will
end up using the generic cbcmac template wrapping the AES-NI cipher,
which basically ends up doing exactly the above). However, in the given
context, it makes more sense to use a light-weight MAC algorithm that
is more suitable for the purpose at hand, such as SipHash.

Since the output size of SipHash already matches our chosen value for
TCP_FASTOPEN_COOKIE_SIZE, and given that it accepts arbitrary input
sizes, this greatly simplifies the code as well.

NOTE: Server farms backing a single server IP for load balancing purposes
      and sharing a single fastopen key will be adversely affected by
      this change unless all systems in the pool receive their kernel
      upgrades at the same time.

Fix sparse warning:

net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen.c:75:29: warning:
 symbol 'tcp_fastopen_alloc_ctx' was not declared. Should it be static?

We would like to be able to rotate TFO keys while minimizing the number of
client cookies that are rejected. Currently, we have only one key which can
be used to generate and validate cookies, thus if we simply replace this
key clients can easily have cookies rejected upon rotation.

We propose having the ability to have both a primary key and a backup key.
The primary key is used to generate as well as to validate cookies.
The backup is only used to validate cookies. Thus, keys can be rotated as:

1) generate new key
2) add new key as the backup key
3) swap the primary and backup key, thus setting the new key as the primary

We don't simply set the new key as the primary key and move the old key to
the backup slot because the ip may be behind a load balancer and we further
allow for the fact that all machines behind the load balancer will not be
updated simultaneously.

We make use of this infrastructure in subsequent patches.

<title>tcp: introduce __tcp_fastopen_cookie_gen_cipher()</title>

Restructure __tcp_fastopen_cookie_gen() to take a 'struct crypto_cipher'
argument and rename it as __tcp_fastopen_cookie_gen_cipher(). Subsequent
patches will provide different ciphers based on which key is being used for
the cookie generation.

<title>tcp: pause Fast Open globally after third consecutive timeout</title>

Prior to this patch, active Fast Open is paused on a specific
destination IP address if the previous connections to the
IP address have experienced recurring timeouts . But recent
experiments by Microsoft (https://goo.gl/cykmn7) and Mozilla
browsers indicate the isssue is often caused by broken middle-boxes
sitting close to the client. Therefore it is much better user
experience if Fast Open is disabled out-right globally to avoid
experiencing further timeouts on connections toward other
destinations.

This patch changes the destination-IP disablement to global
disablement if a connection experiencing recurring timeouts
or aborts due to timeout.  Repeated incidents would still
exponentially increase the pause time, starting from an hour.
This is extremely conservative but an unfortunate compromise to
minimize bad experience due to broken middle-boxes.
