tcp: do not create inetpeer on SYNACK message
Another problem on SYNFLOOD/DDOS attack is the inetpeer cache getting larger and larger, using lots of memory and cpu time. tcp_v4_send_synack() ->inet_csk_route_req() ->ip_route_output_flow() ->rt_set_nexthop() ->rt_init_metrics() ->inet_getpeer( create = true) This is a side effect of commit a4daad6b09230 (net: Pre-COW metrics for TCP) added in 2.6.39 Possible solution : Instruct inet_csk_route_req() to remove FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS Before patch : # grep peer /proc/slabinfo inet_peer_cache 4175430 4175430 192 42 2 : tunables 0 0 0 : slabdata 99415 99415 0 Samples: 41K of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 30716565122 + 20,24% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] inet_getpeer + 8,19% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] peer_avl_rebalance.isra.1 + 4,81% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sha_transform + 3,64% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] fib_table_lookup + 2,36% ksoftirqd/0 [ixgbe] [k] ixgbe_poll + 2,16% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __ip_route_output_key + 2,11% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kernel_map_pages + 2,11% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ip_route_input_common + 2,01% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __inet_lookup_established + 1,83% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] md5_transform + 1,75% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] check_leaf.isra.9 + 1,49% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ipt_do_table + 1,46% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] hrtimer_interrupt + 1,45% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kmem_cache_alloc + 1,29% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] inet_csk_search_req + 1,29% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __netif_receive_skb + 1,16% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_generic_string + 1,15% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kmem_cache_free + 1,02% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] tcp_make_synack + 0,93% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_bh + 0,87% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __call_rcu + 0,84% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rt_garbage_collect + 0,84% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] fib_rules_lookup Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Hans Schillstrom <hans.schillstrom@ericsson.com> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
