From 6787927475e52f6933e3affce365dabb2aa2fadf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tung Nguyen Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2018 20:23:22 +0200 Subject: tipc: buffer overflow handling in listener socket Default socket receive buffer size for a listener socket is 2Mb. For each arriving empty SYN, the linux kernel allocates a 768 bytes buffer. This means that a listener socket can serve maximum 2700 simultaneous empty connection setup requests before it hits a receive buffer overflow, and much fewer if the SYN is carrying any significant amount of data. When this happens the setup request is rejected, and the client receives an ECONNREFUSED error. This commit mitigates this problem by letting the client socket try to retransmit the SYN message multiple times when it sees it rejected with the code TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD. Retransmission is done at random intervals in the range of [100 ms, setup_timeout / 4], as many times as there is room for within the setup timeout limit.
