Kernel panics on Jessie (3.16.0-4-amd64) during IPsec load test
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

While using the following config in /etc/ipsec.conf:
ike=aes128gcm16-null-prfsha384-ecp384bp!
esp=aes128gcm16-null-ecp384bp-esn!

Test from wget on berkelium to nginx on curium:
while true ; do wget -nv -O /dev/null http://10.64.0.170/index.nginx-debian.html ; sleep 1 ; done

Caused kernel panics on either host within a few seconds. In one case the kernel panicked when I simply issued 'service ipsec restart'.

I haven't completed isolating the cause, but removing those two lines of config (hence using default ciphers) has allowed this test to run for 10 minutes without errors.

I didn't manage to capture every crash, here's two of them:

first time on curium:

Gage raised the priority of this task from to Needs Triage.
Gage updated the task description. (Show Details)
Gage added subscribers: Gage, faidon, BBlack.
faidon set Security to None.

Ok, this is reproducible and seems to be the primary problem I was having yesterday: enabling Extended Sequence Numbers (ESN, http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_39#head-87ffd4407af29460251c521e0228fe0ac9219d4b) causes a crash within 5 wgets.

Here's two traces: the first time the HTTP serving host (curium) crashed, the second time it was the wget client host (berkelium):

I tested every other change between the default and the original crashing config for 10 minutes before narrowing it down to ESN, which is a config parameter applied to ESP (child) security associations:

esp=aes128gcm16-null-ecp384bp-esn!

Try with the 3.19 kernel in case that makes the problem go away? That's the kernel the caches run anyways, and is in our repo: apt-get install linux-image-3.19

I took a look at kernel logs for v3.16..v3.19. There are of course many changes that touch your trace codepaths in some way and could intentionally or inadvertently fix this, but the two that stood out as most relevant/likely on the surface are:

commit 2dc49d1680b534877fd20cce52557ea542bb06b6
Author: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com>
Date:   Mon Dec 22 18:22:48 2014 +0100

    tcp6: don't move IP6CB before xfrm6_policy_check()

    When xfrm6_policy_check() is used, _decode_session6() is called after some
    intermediate functions. This function uses IP6CB(), thus TCP_SKB_CB() must be
    prepared after the call of xfrm6_policy_check().

    Before this patch, scenarii with IPv6 + TCP + IPsec Transport are broken.

    Fixes: 971f10eca186 ("tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout to reduce cache line misses")

    xfrm: add XFRMA_REPLAY_VAL attribute to SA messages

    After this commit, the attribute XFRMA_REPLAY_VAL is added when no ESN replay
    value is defined. Thus sequence number values are always notified to userspace.

Well, I obviously agree with @BBlack that we should test with 3.19 (and, in general, have a test environment that resembles production as much as possible — the trusty/jessie disparity revealed another severe issue as well).

That said, it'd be best to better understand this crash because it might just be harder but not impossible to reproduce in 3.19. Moreover, we know we want to enable IPsec for other hosts as well in the future (e.g. Kafka brokers) and it would be best to not add a 3.19 dependency for that.

So, we should have as a -secondary- priority to find a fix or a workaround for this, e.g. the commit that fixed this, so that it can go to upstream's stable branch and/or e.g. avoiding ESN.

@Gage, was the HTTP transfer you did over IPv6 (as to match @BBlack's first commit candidate?)? Could you list exactly the steps to reproduce?

Thanks for the feedback. Steps to reproduce are in the task description, I used IPv4:

while true ; do wget -nv -O /dev/null http://10.64.0.170/index.nginx-debian.html ; sleep 1 ; done

With the following ciphers in /etc/ipsec.conf:

ike=aes128gcm16-null-prfsha384-ecp384bp!
esp=aes128gcm16-null-ecp384bp-esn!

I make sure to shut down the strongswan service on both hosts before starting it again, to avoid any mismatched cipher problems.

I've just tried upgrading both machines to 3.19. On the first attempt, both machines crashed after just 9 requests.

Over the weekend I did stress testing with kernel 3.16 and ESN disabled: I tried the following:

while true ; do wget -nv -O /dev/null http://10.64.0.170/index.nginx-debian.html ; sleep .1 ; done
while true ; do wget -O /dev/null --limit-rate=40M  http://10.64.0.170/ubuntu-14.04.2-server-amd64.iso ; sleep 1 ; done
siege -c 1025 http://10.64.0.170/index.nginx-debian.html

(Get tiny file with 0.1s sleep, get large file at 40MB/s, get tiny file with 1025 clients in parallel.)

In total I ran tests for >48 hours without experiencing any crashes, and the only change was disabling ESN.

Initial results from the same testing using 3.19 yield the same result: quick crash with ESN enabled, no crash with ESN disabled.

I've searched LKML archives but didn't find any discussion of problems with ESN in the past year.

ESN has never been a hard requirement for us, it just sounded like a good idea: "This option permits transmission of very large volumes of data at high speeds over an IPsec Security Association, without rekeying to avoid sequence number space exhaustion." (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4304)

It seems like we can work around any need for this by simply re-keying connections with sufficient frequency.

One good thing from this week's stress testing: I lowered the re-key time from default 2 hours to 4 minutes to approximate the CPU load of re-keying many connections, but even under these conditions the CPU load from using a 384-bit key for ECDH was extremely low: 99% idle & loadavg 0.04-0.11 even at 40MB/s (340Mb/s). So it seems unlikely that we'll need to lower the key size due to CPU load.

Gage claimed this task.

This seems to be fixed in linux-image-3.19.0-trunk-amd64 version 3.19.3-1~exp1, currently in Debian/Experimental.

  • 3.16.7-ckt7-1 with ESN enabled: kernel panics within 10 seconds
  • 3.19.1-1~exp1 with ESN enabled: kernel panics within 10 seconds
  • 3.19.3-1~exp1 with ESN enabled: kernels remained stable for >11,000 pings
