Subject: [PATCH v3 bpf-next 00/11] Socket migration for SO_REUSEPORT.

The SO_REUSEPORT option allows sockets to listen on the same port and to
accept connections evenly. However, there is a defect in the current
implementation [1]. When a SYN packet is received, the connection is tied
to a listening socket. Accordingly, when the listener is closed, in-flight
requests during the three-way handshake and child sockets in the accept
queue are dropped even if other listeners on the same port could accept
such connections.

This situation can happen when various server management tools restart
server (such as nginx) processes. For instance, when we change nginx
configurations and restart it, it spins up new workers that respect the new
configuration and closes all listeners on the old workers, resulting in the
in-flight ACK of 3WHS is responded by RST.

The SO_REUSEPORT option is excellent to improve scalability. On the other
hand, as a trade-off, users have to know deeply how the kernel handles SYN
packets and implement connection draining by eBPF [2]:

  1. Stop routing SYN packets to the listener by eBPF.
  2. Wait for all timers to expire to complete requests
  3. Accept connections until EAGAIN, then close the listener.

  or

  1. Start counting SYN packets and accept syscalls using the eBPF map.
  2. Stop routing SYN packets.
  3. Accept connections up to the count, then close the listener.

In either way, we cannot close a listener immediately. However, ideally,
the application need not drain the not yet accepted sockets because 3WHS
and tying a connection to a listener are just the kernel behaviour. The
root cause is within the kernel, so the issue should be addressed in kernel
space and should not be visible to user space. This patchset fixes it so
that users need not take care of kernel implementation and connection
draining. With this patchset, the kernel redistributes requests and
connections from a listener to the others in the same reuseport group
at/after close or shutdown syscalls.

Although some software does connection draining, there are still merits in
migration. For some security reasons, such as replacing TLS certificates,
we may want to apply new settings as soon as possible and/or we may not be
able to wait for connection draining. The sockets in the accept queue have
not started application sessions yet. So, if we do not drain such sockets,
they can be handled by the newer listeners and could have a longer
lifetime. It is difficult to drain all connections in every case, but we
can decrease such aborted connections by migration. In that sense,
migration is always better than draining. 

Moreover, auto-migration simplifies user space logic and also works well in
a case where we cannot modify and build a server program to implement the
workaround.

Note that the source and destination listeners MUST have the same settings
at the socket API level; otherwise, applications may face inconsistency and
cause errors. In such a case, we have to use the eBPF program to select a
specific listener or to cancel migration.

Special thanks to Martin KaFai Lau for bouncing ideas and exchanging code
snippets along the way.
