From: Jason Xing <kernelx...@tencent.com> In production, there are so many cases about why the RST skb is sent but we don't have a very convenient/fast method to detect the exact underlying reasons.
RST is implemented in two kinds: passive kind (like tcp_v4_send_reset()) and active kind (like tcp_send_active_reset()). The former can be traced carefully 1) in TCP, with the help of drop reasons, which is based on Eric's idea[1], 2) in MPTCP, with the help of reset options defined in RFC 8684. The latter is relatively independent, which should be implemented on our own. In this series, I focus on the fundamental implement mostly about how the rstreason mechnism and the detailed passive part works as an example, not including the active reset part. In future, we can go further and refine those NOT_SPECIFIED reasons. Here are some examples when tracing: <idle>-0 [002] ..s1. 1830.262425: tcp_send_reset: skbaddr=x skaddr=x src=x dest=x state=x reason=NOT_SPECIFIED <idle>-0 [002] ..s1. 1830.262425: tcp_send_reset: skbaddr=x skaddr=x src=x dest=x state=x reason=NO_SOCKET [1] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CANn89iJw8x-LqgsWOeJQQvgVg6DnL5aBRLi10QN2WBdr+X4k=w...@mail.gmail.com/ v2 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240403185033.47ebc...@kernel.org/ 1. rebase against the latest net-next tree Jason Xing (6): net: introduce rstreason to detect why the RST is sent rstreason: prepare for passive reset rstreason: prepare for active reset tcp: support rstreason for passive reset mptcp: support rstreason for passive reset rstreason: make it work in trace world include/net/request_sock.h | 3 +- include/net/rstreason.h | 93 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/net/tcp.h | 2 +- include/trace/events/tcp.h | 37 +++++++++++++-- net/dccp/ipv4.c | 10 ++-- net/dccp/ipv6.c | 10 ++-- net/dccp/minisocks.c | 3 +- net/ipv4/tcp.c | 15 ++++-- net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c | 14 +++--- net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c | 3 +- net/ipv4/tcp_output.c | 4 +- net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c | 9 ++-- net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c | 17 ++++--- net/mptcp/protocol.c | 4 +- net/mptcp/subflow.c | 33 ++++++++++---- 15 files changed, 209 insertions(+), 48 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/net/rstreason.h -- 2.37.3
