tcp: Defer ts_recent changes until req is owned
Recently a bug was discovered where the server had entered TCP_ESTABLISHED state, but the upper layers were not notified. The same 5-tuple packet may be processed by different CPUSs, so two CPUs may receive different ack packets at the same time when the state is TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV. In that case, req->ts_recent in tcp_check_req may be changed concurrently, which will probably cause the newsk's ts_recent to be incorrectly large. So that tcp_validate_incoming will fail. At this point, newsk will not be able to enter the TCP_ESTABLISHED. cpu1 cpu2 tcp_check_req tcp_check_req req->ts_recent = rcv_tsval = t1 req->ts_recent = rcv_tsval = t2 syn_recv_sock tcp_sk(child)->rx_opt.ts_recent = req->ts_recent = t2 // t1 < t2 tcp_child_process tcp_rcv_state_process tcp_validate_incoming tcp_paws_check if ((s32)(rx_opt->ts_recent - rx_opt->rcv_tsval) <= paws_win) // t2 - t1 > paws_win, failed tcp_v4_do_rcv tcp_rcv_state_process // TCP_ESTABLISHED The cpu2's skb or a newly received skb will call tcp_v4_do_rcv to get the newsk into the TCP_ESTABLISHED state, but at this point it is no longer possible to notify the upper layer application. A notification mechanism could be added here, but the fix is more complex, so the current fix is used. In tcp_check_req, req->ts_recent is used to assign a value to tcp_sk(child)->rx_opt.ts_recent, so removing the change in req->ts_recent and changing tcp_sk(child)->rx_opt.ts_recent directly after owning the req fixes this bug.
