The rack stack, with respect to the rack bits in it, was originally built based
on an early I-D of rack. In fact at that time the TLP bits were in a separate
I-D. The dynamic reordering window based on DSACK events was not present
in rack at that time. It is now part of the RFC and we need to update our stack
to include these features. However we want to have a way to control the feature
so that we can, if the admin decides, make it stay the same way system wide as
well as via socket option. The new sysctl and socket option has the following
meaning for setting:
00 (0) - Keep the old way, i.e. reordering window is 1 and do not use DSACK bytes to add to reorder window
01 (1) - Change the Reordering window to 1/4 of an RTT but do not use DSACK bytes to add to reorder window
10 (2) - Keep the reordering window as 1, but do use SACK bytes to add additional 1/4 RTT delay to the reorder window
11 (3) - reordering window is 1/4 of an RTT and add additional DSACK bytes to increase the reordering window (RFC behavior)
The default currently in the sysctl is 3 so we get standards based behavior.

so we can test various changes to the slop value in timers.
Timer_slop, in TCP, has been 200ms for a long time. This value dates back
a long time when delayed ack timers were longer and links were slower. A
200ms timer slop allows 1 MSS to be sent over a 60kbps link. Its possible that
lowering this value to something more in line with todays delayed ack values (40ms)
might improve TCP. This bit of code makes it so rack can, via a socket option,

In order to efficiently serve web traffic on a NUMA
machine, one must avoid as many NUMA domain crossings as
possible. With SO_REUSEPORT_LB, a number of workers can share a
listen socket. However, even if a worker sets affinity to a core
or set of cores on a NUMA domain, it will receive connections
associated with all NUMA domains in the system. This will lead to
cross-domain traffic when the server writes to the socket or
calls sendfile(), and memory is allocated on the server's local
NUMA node, but transmitted on the NUMA node associated with the
TCP connection. Similarly, when the server reads from the socket,
he will likely be reading memory allocated on the NUMA domain
associated with the TCP connection.
This change provides a new socket ioctl, TCP_REUSPORT_LB_NUMA. A
server can now tell the kernel to filter traffic so that only
incoming connections associated with the desired NUMA domain are
given to the server. (Of course, in the case where there are no
servers sharing the listen socket on some domain, then as a
fallback, traffic will be hashed as normal to all servers sharing
the listen socket regardless of domain). This allows a server to
deal only with traffic that is local to its NUMA domain, and
avoids cross-domain traffic in most cases.
This patch, and a corresponding small patch to nginx to use
TCP_REUSPORT_LB_NUMA allows us to serve 190Gb/s of kTLS encrypted
https media content from dual-socket Xeons with only 13% (as
measured by pcm.x) cross domain traffic on the memory controller.

KTLS adds support for in-kernel framing and encryption of Transport
Layer Security (1.0-1.2) data on TCP sockets. KTLS only supports
offload of TLS for transmitted data. Key negotation must still be
performed in userland. Once completed, transmit session keys for a
connection are provided to the kernel via a new TCP_TXTLS_ENABLE
socket option. All subsequent data transmitted on the socket is
placed into TLS frames and encrypted using the supplied keys.
Any data written to a KTLS-enabled socket via write(2), aio_write(2),
or sendfile(2) is assumed to be application data and is encoded in TLS
frames with an application data type. Individual records can be sent
with a custom type (e.g. handshake messages) via sendmsg(2) with a new
control message (TLS_SET_RECORD_TYPE) specifying the record type.
At present, rekeying is not supported though the in-kernel framework
should support rekeying.
KTLS makes use of the recently added unmapped mbufs to store TLS
frames in the socket buffer. Each TLS frame is described by a single
ext_pgs mbuf. The ext_pgs structure contains the header of the TLS
record (and trailer for encrypted records) as well as references to
the associated TLS session.
KTLS supports two primary methods of encrypting TLS frames: software
TLS and ifnet TLS.
Software TLS marks mbufs holding socket data as not ready via
M_NOTREADY similar to sendfile(2) when TLS framing information is
added to an unmapped mbuf in ktls_frame(). ktls_enqueue() is then
called to schedule TLS frames for encryption. In the case of
sendfile_iodone() calls ktls_enqueue() instead of pru_ready() leaving
the mbufs marked M_NOTREADY until encryption is completed. For other
writes (vn_sendfile when pages are available, write(2), etc.), the
PRUS_NOTREADY is set when invoking pru_send() along with invoking
ktls_enqueue().
A pool of worker threads (the "KTLS" kernel process) encrypts TLS
frames queued via ktls_enqueue(). Each TLS frame is temporarily
mapped using the direct map and passed to a software encryption
backend to perform the actual encryption.
(Note: The use of PHYS_TO_DMAP could be replaced with sf_bufs if
someone wished to make this work on architectures without a direct
map.)
KTLS supports pluggable software encryption backends. Internally,
Netflix uses proprietary pure-software backends. This commit includes
a simple backend in a new ktls_ocf.ko module that uses the kernel's
OpenCrypto framework to provide AES-GCM encryption of TLS frames. As
a result, software TLS is now a bit of a misnomer as it can make use
of hardware crypto accelerators.
Once software encryption has finished, the TLS frame mbufs are marked
ready via pru_ready(). At this point, the encrypted data appears as
regular payload to the TCP stack stored in unmapped mbufs.
ifnet TLS permits a NIC to offload the TLS encryption and TCP
segmentation. In this mode, a new send tag type (IF_SND_TAG_TYPE_TLS)
is allocated on the interface a socket is routed over and associated
with a TLS session. TLS records for a TLS session using ifnet TLS are
not marked M_NOTREADY but are passed down the stack unencrypted. The
ip_output_send() and ip6_output_send() helper functions that apply
send tags to outbound IP packets verify that the send tag of the TLS
record matches the outbound interface. If so, the packet is tagged
with the TLS send tag and sent to the interface. The NIC device
driver must recognize packets with the TLS send tag and schedule them
for TLS encryption and TCP segmentation. If the the outbound
interface does not match the interface in the TLS send tag, the packet
is dropped. In addition, a task is scheduled to refresh the TLS send
tag for the TLS session. If a new TLS send tag cannot be allocated,
the connection is dropped. If a new TLS send tag is allocated,
however, subsequent packets will be tagged with the correct TLS send
tag. (This latter case has been tested by configuring both ports of a
Chelsio T6 in a lagg and failing over from one port to another. As
the connections migrated to the new port, new TLS send tags were
allocated for the new port and connections resumed without being
dropped.)
ifnet TLS can be enabled and disabled on supported network interfaces
via new '[-]txtls[46]' options to ifconfig(8). ifnet TLS is supported
across both vlan devices and lagg interfaces using failover, lacp with
flowid enabled, or lacp with flowid enabled.
Applications may request the current KTLS mode of a connection via a
new TCP_TXTLS_MODE socket option. They can also use this socket
option to toggle between software and ifnet TLS modes.
In addition, a testing tool is available in tools/tools/switch_tls.
This is modeled on tcpdrop and uses similar syntax. However, instead
of dropping connections, -s is used to force KTLS connections to
switch to software TLS and -i is used to switch to ifnet TLS.
Various sysctls and counters are available under the kern.ipc.tls
sysctl node. The kern.ipc.tls.enable node must be set to true to
enable KTLS (it is off by default). The use of unmapped mbufs must
also be enabled via kern.ipc.mb_use_ext_pgs to enable KTLS.
KTLS is enabled via the KERN_TLS kernel option.
This patch is the culmination of years of work by several folks
including Scott Long and Randall Stewart for the original design and
implementation; Drew Gallatin for several optimizations including the
use of ext_pgs mbufs, the M_NOTREADY mechanism for TLS records
awaiting software encryption, and pluggable software crypto backends;
and John Baldwin for modifications to support hardware TLS offload.

The TCP Blackbox Recorder allows you to capture events on a TCP connection
in a ring buffer. It stores metadata with the event. It optionally stores
the TCP header associated with an event (if the event is associated with a

It supports setting a log ID on a TCP connection and using this to correlate
multiple connections that share a common log ID.
You can log connections in different modes. If you are doing a coordinated
test with a particular connection, you may tell the system to put it in
mode 4 (continuous dump). Or, if you just want to monitor for errors, you
can put it in mode 1 (ring buffer) and dump all the ring buffers associated
with the connection ID when we receive an error signal for that connection
ID. You can set a default mode that will be applied to a particular ratio
of incoming connections. You can also manually set a mode using a socket
option.
