Subject: [PATCH net] tcp: make TCP_USER_TIMEOUT accurate for zero window probes

From: Enke Chen <[email protected]>

The TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is checked by the 0-window probe timer. As the
timer has backoff with a max interval of about two minutes, the
actual timeout for TCP_USER_TIMEOUT can be off by up to two minutes.

In this patch the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is made more accurate by taking it
into account when computing the timer value for the 0-window probes.

This patch is similar to the one that made TCP_USER_TIMEOUT accurate for
RTOs in commit b701a99e431d ("tcp: Add tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout()
helper to improve accuracy").

This is targeting net, any guidance on Fixes / backporting?

Hi, Jakub:

In terms of backporting, this patch should go together with:

9d9b1ee0b2d1 tcp: fix TCP_USER_TIMEOUT with zero window

Thanks. -- Enke

As in it:

Fixes: 9d9b1ee0b2d1 tcp: fix TCP_USER_TIMEOUT with zero window

or does it further fix the same issue, so:

Fixes: 9721e709fa68 ("tcp: simplify window probe aborting on USER_TIMEOUT")

?

Let me clarify:

1) 9d9b1ee0b2d1 tcp: fix TCP_USER_TIMEOUT with zero window

fixes the bug and makes it work.

2) The current patch makes the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT accurate for 0-window probes.
It's independent.

With 1) and 2), the known issues with TCP_USER_TIMEOUT for 0-window probes
would be resolved.

Thanks. -- Enke

Patch (2) ("tcp: make TCP_USER_TIMEOUT accurate for zero window
probes") is indeed conceptually independent of (1) but its
implementation depends on the icsk_probes_tstamp field defined in (1),
so AFAICT (2) cannot be backported further back than (1).

Patch (1) fixes a bug in 5.1:
Fixes: 9721e709fa68 ("tcp: simplify window probe aborting on USER_TIMEOUT")

So probably (1) and (2) should be backported as a pair, and only back
as far as 5.1. (That covers 2 LTS kernels, 5.4 and 5.10, so hopefully
that is good enough.)

Hi, Neal:

What you described is more accurate, and is correct.

That makes it clear.

I added a Fixes tag, reworded the message slightly and applied, thanks!
