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.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
