[patch net v3] tcp: prohibit TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS if data was already sent
From: Lu Wei
Date: Wed Nov 02 2022 - 08:23:23 EST
If setsockopt with option name of TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS and opt_code
of TCPOPT_SACK_PERM is called to enable sack after data is sent
and before data is acked, it will trigger a warning in function
tcp_verify_left_out() as follows:
============================================
WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 0 at net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:2132
tcp_timeout_mark_lost+0x154/0x160
tcp_enter_loss+0x2b/0x290
tcp_retransmit_timer+0x50b/0x640

run_timer_softirq+0x43/0xb0
__do_softirq+0xfd/0x373
__irq_exit_rcu+0xf6/0x140
The warning is caused in the following steps:
1. a socket named socketA is created
2. socketA enters repair mode without build a connection
3. socketA calls connect() and its state is changed to TCP_ESTABLISHED
directly
4. socketA leaves repair mode
5. socketA calls sendmsg() to send data, packets_out and sack_outs(dup
ack receives) increase
6. socketA enters repair mode again
7. socketA calls setsockopt with TCPOPT_SACK_PERM to enable sack
8. retransmit timer expires, it calls tcp_timeout_mark_lost(), lost_out
increases
9. sack_outs + lost_out > packets_out triggers since lost_out and
sack_outs increase repeatly
In function tcp_timeout_mark_lost(), tp->sacked_out will be cleared if
Step7 not happen and the warning will not be triggered. As suggested by
Denis and Eric, TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS should be prohibited if data was
already sent. So this patch checks tp->segs_out, only TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS
can be set only if tp->segs_out is 0.
socket-tcp tests in CRIU has been tested as follows:
$ sudo ./test/zdtm.py run -t zdtm/static/socket-tcp* --keep-going \
--ignore-taint
socket-tcp* represent all socket-tcp tests in test/zdtm/static/.
