[PATCH net v4 2/2] mptcp: count CLOSE-WAIT sockets for MPTCP_MIB_CURRESTAB

There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH net v4 2/2] mptcp: count CLOSE-WAIT sockets for MPTCP_MIB_CURRESTAB
Posted by Jason Xing 3 months, 2 weeks ago 
From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com>

Like previous patch does in TCP, we need to adhere to RFC 1213:

  "tcpCurrEstab OBJECT-TYPE
   ...
   The number of TCP connections for which the current state
   is either ESTABLISHED or CLOSE- WAIT."

So let's consider CLOSE-WAIT sockets.

The logic of counting
When we increment the counter?
a) Only if we change the state to ESTABLISHED.

When we decrement the counter?
a) if the socket leaves ESTABLISHED and will never go into CLOSE-WAIT,
say, on the client side, changing from ESTABLISHED to FIN-WAIT-1.
b) if the socket leaves CLOSE-WAIT, say, on the server side, changing
from CLOSE-WAIT to LAST-ACK.

Fixes: d9cd27b8cd19 ("mptcp: add CurrEstab MIB counter support")

Thank you for this modification, and for having updated the Fixes tag.

The modification is correct: currently, and compared to TCP, the MPTCP
"accepted" socket will not go through the TCP_SYN_RECV state because it
will be created later on.

Still, I wonder if it would not be clearer to explicitly mention this
here, and (or) in the commit message, to be able to understand why the
logic is different here, compared to TCP. I don't think the SYN_RECV
state will be used in the future with MPTCP sockets, but just in case,
it might help to mention TCP_SYN_RECV state here. Could add a small
comment here above please?

Sure, but what comments do you suggest?
For example, the comment above the case statement is:
"Unlike TCP, MPTCP would not have TCP_SYN_RECV state, so we can skip
it directly"
?

Thanks,
Jason

Yes, thank you, it looks good to me. But while at it, you can also add
the reason:

  case TCP_CLOSE_WAIT:
          /* Unlike TCP, MPTCP sk would not have the TCP_SYN_RECV state:
           * MPTCP "accepted" sockets will be created later on. So no
           * transition from TCP_SYN_RECV to TCP_CLOSE_WAIT.
           */

WDYT?

Cheers,
Matt
