From: Pengcheng Yang Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2020 09:23:40 +0000 (+0800) Subject: tcp: fix marked lost packets not being retransmitted X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3930b48a34abec508db506dd758ccb8dd2af921f;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git tcp: fix marked lost packets not being retransmitted [ Upstream commit e176b1ba476cf36f723cfcc7a9e57f3cb47dec70 ] When the packet pointed to by retransmit_skb_hint is unlinked by ACK, retransmit_skb_hint will be set to NULL in tcp_clean_rtx_queue(). If packet loss is detected at this time, retransmit_skb_hint will be set to point to the current packet loss in tcp_verify_retransmit_hint(), then the packets that were previously marked lost but not retransmitted due to the restriction of cwnd will be skipped and cannot be retransmitted. To fix this, when retransmit_skb_hint is NULL, retransmit_skb_hint can be reset only after all marked lost packets are retransmitted (retrans_out >= lost_out), otherwise we need to traverse from tcp_rtx_queue_head in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue(). Packetdrill to demonstrate: // Disable RACK and set max_reordering to keep things simple 0 `sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_recovery=0` +0 `sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_max_reordering=3` // Establish a connection +0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 +0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0 +0 listen(3, 1) = 0 +.1 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <...> +.01 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 +0 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4 // Send 8 data segments +0 write(4, ..., 8000) = 8000 +0 > P. 1:8001(8000) ack 1 // Enter recovery and 1:3001 is marked lost +.01 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 +0 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 +0 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 // Retransmit 1:1001, now retransmit_skb_hint points to 1001:2001 +0 > . 1:1001(1000) ack 1 // 1001:2001 was ACKed causing retransmit_skb_hint to be set to NULL +.01 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257 // Now retransmit_skb_hint points to 4001:5001 which is now marked lost // BUG: 2001:3001 was not retransmitted +0 > . 2001:3001(1000) ack 1 Signed-off-by: Pengcheng Yang Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Tested-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: David S.
