Subject: [PATCH net v2] tcp: Fix fastreuse cache initialization on first bind
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 09:52:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026095208.58504-1-yzwlhm@gmail.com> (raw)
inet_csk_update_fastreuse() initializes the reuse caches only when
tb->bhash2 is empty, but both inet_csk_get_port() and
__inet_inherit_port() link tb2 before calling it, so the first-bind
branch is never taken.
As a result, SO_REUSEADDR binds never get fastreuse=1 and keep
scanning existing owners, and SO_REUSEPORT starts in STRICT instead
of ANY.
Initialize the caches when tb2 is the only entry in tb->bhash2 and has
no owners. Timewait sockets are also linked on tb2->owners, so this is
equivalent to the old hlist_empty(&tb->owners) test.
Found by manual code inspection and confirmed with GDB. Binding 16000
SO_REUSEADDR sockets to one address/port in a KVM guest takes 4.18 s
before and 19.4 ms after this patch. Existing bind/reuse selftests
pass. Analysis and testing were assisted by an AI tool (Codex).
Fixes: 8002d44fe84d ("tcp: Check hlist_empty(&tb->bhash2) instead of hlist_empty(&tb->owners).")
