Revision 72cd43ba64fc172a443410ce01645895850844c8 authored by Eric Dumazet on 23 July 2018, 16:28:17 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 23 July 2018, 19:01:36 UTC
Juha-Matti Tilli reported that malicious peers could inject tiny
packets in out_of_order_queue, forcing very expensive calls
to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() for
every incoming packet. out_of_order_queue rb-tree can contain
thousands of nodes, iterating over all of them is not nice.
Before linux-4.9, we would have pruned all packets in ofo_queue
in one go, every XXXX packets. XXXX depends on sk_rcvbuf and skbs
truesize, but is about 7000 packets with tcp_rmem[2] default of 6 MB.
Since we plan to increase tcp_rmem[2] in the future to cope with
modern BDP, can not revert to the old behavior, without great pain.
Strategy taken in this patch is to purge ~12.5 % of the queue capacity.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
