Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] tcp: accecn: initialize AccECN fields in syncookie path
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 16:12:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114161248.3428695-3-thaisonphan@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114161248.3428695-1-thaisonphan@google.com>
cookie_tcp_reqsk_alloc() and bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk() allocate struct
request_sock without __GFP_ZERO, leaving saw_accecn_opt,
accecn_fail_mode, syn_ect_rcv, and syn_ect_snt uninitialized. When
accecn_ok is negotiated in cookie_{v4,v6}_check(),
tcp_ecn_openreq_child() reads all four fields to initialize the child
socket's AccECN state.
In addition, because the temporary request_sock used to send a cookie
SYN-ACK is immediately freed, treq->syn_ect_snt is lost. If the listener
marks ECT (e.g. DCTCP), leaving syn_ect_snt at 0 causes
tcp_accecn_third_ack() to flag TCP_ACCECN_ACE_FAIL_RECV when the peer
reflects ECT, disabling ECT for the rest of the connection.
Initialize the AccECN fields in cookie_tcp_reqsk_init() to match
tcp_openreq_init(), and set syn_ect_snt from the listener's TOS/tclass
in cookie_{v4,v6}_check() to match tcp_{v4,v6}_send_synack().
Found by code inspection while auditing request_sock initialization in
the syncookie path; reproduced without kernel modifications in a KASAN
VM (tcp_syncookies=2, tcp_ecn=3) and tested against the reproducer and
packetdrill AccECN/syncookie selftests.
Fixes: 3cae34274c79 ("tcp: accecn: AccECN negotiation")
Fixes: b40671b5ee58 ("tcp: accecn: AccECN option failure handling")
