tcp: do not create inetpeer on SYNACK message
Another problem on SYNFLOOD/DDOS attack is the inetpeer cache getting
larger and larger, using lots of memory and cpu time.
tcp_v4_send_synack()
->inet_csk_route_req()
->ip_route_output_flow()
->rt_set_nexthop()
->rt_init_metrics()
->inet_getpeer( create = true)
This is a side effect of commit a4daad6b09230 (net: Pre-COW metrics for
TCP) added in 2.6.39
Possible solution :
Instruct inet_csk_route_req() to remove FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS
Before patch :
# grep peer /proc/slabinfo
inet_peer_cache 4175430 4175430 192 42 2 : tunables 0 0 0 : slabdata 99415 99415 0
