fix(intra,ipn,dialers): restore proxyFor lock-read timeout and enforce read/write deadlines end-to-end - #250
varunagarwal-pro wants to merge 11 commits into
Conversation
proxyFor()'s internal timeout for its RLock'd map-read goroutine (intended purely as a deadlock-recovery guard, per the ProxyFor doc-comment: "if it takes longer than getproxytimeout, it returns an error") was inadvertently changed from getproxytimeout (5s) to minWaitPeriodSec/2 (1s), with no accompanying doc-comment update and no explanation in the commit message. Impact: ProxyFor() only retries/waits for a missing proxy when isWellknown(id) is true (WG/Orbot/pip/internal/global-h1 ids). For any other, app-registered custom proxy id, proxyFor() is the only lookup attempt - there is no fallback wait. On a loaded or low-RAM device, the paired px.Lock() in AddProxy/RemoveProxy can legitimately hold the mutex for longer than 1s while a proxy is being registered/torn down (especially proxies whose constructor performs real I/O). Previously this had up to 5s of slack before proxyFor() gave up; now it has only 1s, turning a previously-recoverable, momentary lock stall into a permanent, unretried "proxy not found" for that connection - observed downstream (celzero/rethink-app-derived fork) as an intermittently failing custom local HTTP proxy route on Android TV / Fire TV Stick hardware, causing affected app connections to fail and the calling app to retry indefinitely. Fix: restore timeout := getproxytimeout, matching the function's existing doc-comment and preserving the deadlock-recovery intent this guard was designed for, without touching the minWaitPeriodSec change (3s->2s) which only affects the separate wellknown-id retry/backoff path and is not implicated in this regression. No behavior change for the intended deadlock-recovery case (an actual hang still errors out, just with the originally-documented 5s grace period instead of 1s).
…MEOUT is set forward() unwrapped the remote conn from its rwext deadline wrapper whenever rwext.SetTimeout() reported didSet=true, treating a successfully-applied low-level sockopt as equivalent to having a software read/write deadline in place. SetTimeout() only sets TCP_USER_TIMEOUT via core.SetTimeoutSockOpt(). TCP_USER_TIMEOUT bounds how long unacknowledged outbound data may go unacked before the kernel force-closes the connection - it has no effect on a blocking Read() that is simply waiting to receive more data from a peer that has gone idle without sending RST/FIN. It does not implement a receive/idle timeout. Once remote was unwrapped, the only mechanism that could bound such a Read() - rwext's extendr()/extendw(), which apply Go's real per-call SetReadDeadline/SetWriteDeadline via settings.DialerOpts - was discarded entirely. As a result, a relayed TCP connection to a peer that silently stops sending (common with some CDN/load-balancer behavior on idle keep-alive connections, or after a NAT/middlebox timeout that never surfaces an RST) blocks forward()'s Read() forever. The socket stays visibly ESTABLISHED with zero rx/tx queue activity indefinitely, and the app-level effect is a permanent hang (e.g., a media player stuck in a buffering state) with no path to recovery short of killing the connection/process. This was reproduced consistently on-device: a live TCP socket to a video CDN would enter this idle-ESTABLISHED state with zero queue bytes and never recover, while process CPU stayed idle (ruling out a busy loop) and DNS/WAN connectivity remained healthy throughout - pointing squarely at a stuck blocking Read() in the relay path. Fix: only unwrap remote from rwext when timeoutsecs <= 0, i.e. when no read/write deadline is configured at all and rwext.Read/Write would be a true no-op. When a positive timeout is configured, keep remote wrapped so extendr()/extendw() continue to enforce a genuine per-call deadline in addition to (not instead of) the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT sockopt optimization.

Keeping the rwext wrapper here changes connection teardown semantics. rwext only embeds net.Conn, so it does not implement CloseRead/CloseWrite (note the commented-out core.DuplexCloser assertion in intra/rwconn.go). As a result, core.CloseOp(remote, core.CopR) / core.CloseOp(remote, core.CopW) in upload/download no longer matches core.TCPConn/core.DuplexCloser and falls through to the generic io.Closer case, i.e. a full Close() instead of a half-close.
Previously remote was unwrapped whenever SetTimeout set a socket option (didSet), so for the usual *net.TCPConn egress these were real CloseRead/CloseWrite calls. Since upload and download copy concurrently over the same remote, the first direction to finish will now forcibly close the socket and abort the other direction (truncated response / RST) for any user with a positive dialer timeout. Please preserve half-close, e.g. by forwarding CloseRead/CloseWrite from rwext, before keeping the wrapper.

The stated premise for lengthening this guard does not match the code: addOrUpdateProxy runs the proxy constructor (incl. any I/O) before px.add takes the write lock (proxies.go:370), and inside the lock only map writes, cheap atomic Pause/Status (socks5.go:309/321) and the non-blocking queueEvent run - slow Stop/Refresh work is dispatched via core.Go. So the write lock is not held across constructor I/O and isn't held >1s by design. Also, proxyFor does not wait for a future AddProxy; it only blocks on the current lock holder, so a larger timeout cannot fix a "just-registered proxy" race. The only real effect is that synchronous callers block up to 5x longer before failing - and proxyFor is called directly from latency-sensitive paths (HasProxy, the ProxyTo/pinID routing loops, non-wellknown transport ids such as dnsx.Default/dnsx.Preferred built during intra.NewTunnel, whose delay the comment above ProxyFor explicitly says must be avoided on the Android main thread). Please confirm the mutex can actually be held >1s before reverting this, otherwise keep the guard tied to minWaitPeriodSec.

Retaining the rwext wrapper when timeoutsecs > 0 changes the concrete type handed to core.CloseOp in upload/download. rwext only embeds net.Conn and defines no CloseRead/CloseWrite, so it satisfies neither core.TCPConn (which embeds DuplexCloser) nor DuplexCloser. core.CloseOp(remote, core.CopW)/CopR therefore falls through to the io.Closer branch and performs a full Close(), whereas the previously unwrapped *net.TCPConn produced a proper half-close (CloseWrite/CloseRead).
This matters for plain TCP conns with a configured dialer read/write timeout: SetTimeout used to return didSet == true (TCP_USER_TIMEOUT set on the *net.TCPConn), so remote was unwrapped; now it stays rwext. When upload finishes first (client closed its write side) while download is still reading the response, the full Close() tears down the egress conn and can truncate the response. Consider having rwext implement CloseRead/CloseWrite (delegating to the underlying conn when it is a DuplexCloser/*net.TCPConn), or otherwise preserve the previous half-close behavior when a timeout is configured.

Raising the per-attempt guard to getproxytimeout (5s) doesn't fix the described registration race, because proxyFor's guarded work is an O(1) RLock'd map read: an id that isn't registered yet returns errProxyNotFound immediately (it never consumes the timeout), so this value is not a "window" for finding a just-added proxy. The stated premise also doesn't hold: the write lock is not held across proxy construction/teardown I/O — addOrUpdateProxy builds the proxy before add() takes px.Lock() (see proxies.go:370), old.Stop() is dispatched via core.Go (proxies.go:386), and under the lock only a map write plus cheap Status()/Pause() run. The guard is a deadlock guard ("possibly a deadlock", proxies.go:962), so enlarging it mainly lengthens the stall when the RLock is genuinely blocked. Because ProxyFor may invoke proxyFor twice within its minWaitPeriodSec (2s) retry budget (proxies.go:899), a wellknown id can now block ~10s (≈3s before), and latency-sensitive callers (the Android main service thread during intra.NewTunnel; doh.newTransport, which retries on ErrGetProxyTimeout) can block up to 5s instead of 1s. I'd keep the shorter guard unless a >1s lock hold is actually observed.

retrier.Read()/Write() only pushed the caller-configured deadline down to the underlying conn once, right when the retry sequence completed; every subsequent call left the raw conn's deadline frozen at whatever was last applied, so callers (eg: rwext) refreshing an idle timeout on every Read/Write had no effect once retries were done. Additionally, retrier.WriteTo/ReadFrom's non-optimized fallback path streamed directly against the raw underlying conn (bypassing retrier.Read/Write entirely), so even a correct deadline on r never protected connections relayed via io.Copy-style WriteTo/ReadFrom (preferred by core.Pipe when available), leaving such connections with no idle-read/write timeout for their entire lifetime once the initial handshake completed. Fix: always (re)apply the current read/write deadline to the underlying conn before every raw Read/Write, and route the WriteTo/ReadFrom fallback through retrier's own Read/Write so it benefits from that refresh instead of bypassing it.

This applies the caller's deadline unconditionally, including during the pre-retry phase (r.retryCompleted() is still false), which contradicts the retrier's own design: SetReadDeadline above deliberately avoids touching c until the retry completes, and the retrier sets its own bounded read deadline on the provisional conn (teedFirstWrite line 594 sets c.SetReadDeadline(now+readWait); retryLocked line 459 sets it on newConn).
Crucially, rdeadline is frequently the zero time here: forward() unwraps rwext when no timeout is configured, and when rwext does wrap the retrier, rwext.WriteTo/ReadFrom call extendForever() (which zeroes the retrier's deadlines) before invoking retrier.WriteTo/ReadFrom. Also note WriteTo/ReadFrom now stream via r (this file), so all of their reads hit this line.
Result: c's read deadline is cleared, so the first read can block indefinitely on a peer that silently stops responding, and the timeout error that is supposed to trigger a retry (see the retry loop at line 524) never occurs. Suggest only (re)applying the caller deadline after the retry has completed, and only when it is non-zero.

Serialize deadline application with deadline updates.
protect.Conn is net.Conn. Read and Write release r.mu before applying their deadline snapshots. A concurrent SetReadDeadline or SetWriteDeadline can therefore apply a newer deadline first, after which the snapshot overwrites it. This can cause an early timeout or remove a deadline. r.conn replacement also occurs under r.mu, so hold the lock through both c.SetReadDeadline and c.SetWriteDeadline. A check performed before the setter alone does not prevent this race.

…TCPConn only rwext.WriteTo/ReadFrom disabled all read/write deadlines (extendForever) whenever the wrapped conn satisfied the generic io.WriterTo/io.ReaderFrom interface, then fully delegated to it. This is safe for a genuine os-level conn (*net.TCPConn), where the underlying syscall (sendfile/ splice) is a single bounded operation. It is not safe for higher-level wrapper types -- eg *dialers.retrier, which also implements these interfaces but can internally fall back to a plain, chunked copy loop of its own (via core.Stream) when the peer isn't itself splice-capable. Because rwext handed off unconditionally and never called it again, such wrapper types never received a real, refreshed idle-read/write deadline: rwext's own deadlines() config was simply never applied. This left connections relayed this way (the common case for the 'Exit' proxy/dialer-retry path, which core.Pipe prefers via WriteTo/ReadFrom) with no idle timeout for their entire lifetime, regardless of settings.DialerOpts or the prior forward()/retrier fixes. Fix: only take the deadline-disabling fast path when the wrapped conn is specifically *net.TCPConn. For anything else (including *retrier), fall through to core.Stream(w, rw)/core.Stream(rw, r), which calls rwext's own Read()/Write() and so correctly refreshes a real idle deadline on every chunk, same as the plain (non zero-copy) path. Confirmed on-device: without this fix, a relayed TCP socket to a video CDN remained idle-ESTABLISHED (zero rx/tx queue bytes) for minutes, well past the configured 10s idle timeout, even with the forward() and retrier.go fixes already live in the running binary.

Retaining rwext whenever a timeout is configured (timeoutsecs > 0) changes close semantics, not just deadline behavior. upload/download call core.CloseOp(remote, CopW/CopR), but rwext only embeds net.Conn and implements no CloseRead/CloseWrite (see the TODO in rwconn.go). So core.CloseOp no longer matches core.TCPConn/core.DuplexCloser and falls through to io.Closer, performing a full Close() on the shared remote conn instead of a TCP half-close. Previously, when a timeout was set (e.g. *net.TCPConn via SetTimeoutSockOpt, or *demuxconn), remote was unwrapped to the concrete conn and the half-close (FIN/SHUT_WR) was issued. When one direction finishes first (e.g. the client half-closes after its request), a full close now tears down the still-active opposite direction, which can truncate/reset the response. Consider having rwext expose CloseRead/CloseWrite (delegating to the wrapped conn when it implements core.DuplexCloser) so half-close is preserved now that rwext is kept for the timeout case.

This raises the lock-acquisition guard in proxyFor from minWaitPeriodSec/2 (1s) to getproxytimeout (5s). A contended px.Lock() therefore blocks every proxyFor/ProxyFor/ProxyTo caller for up to 5s (and up to ~2x5s for well-known ids, which additionally sleep in ProxyFor's retry path).
The stated rationale does not hold up: proxy construction happens in addOrUpdateProxy before add() takes px.Lock() (see NewWgProxy/fromOpts at intra/ipn/proxy.go:212-270), and removeProxy only deletes the map entry and dispatches Stop() on a goroutine. No write-lock holder performs constructor I/O, so the "Lock() held >1s during setup/teardown" premise is not supported. Since proxyFor is also called from DNS transport constructors during intra.NewTunnel (documented above ProxyFor as running on the Android main thread) and from the per-flow ProxyTo path, a 5x longer guard worsens the worst-case stall. Please substantiate the claimed missed-registration failure or keep the bound short.

…alls Kernel-level diagnosis (via /proc/net/tcp rx_queue/tx_queue/retransmit counters polled across multiple hang reproductions) proved that after an Exit-proxied TCP connection's first response read (always <=~2861B, consistent with one or two full-MTU segments), the socket receives zero further bytes and sits with rx_queue==0 the entire time before our existing 10s idle-read deadline correctly closes it. This ruled out a data-delivery/read-dispatch bug in the retrier/relay code (the kernel itself has nothing buffered/unread) and pointed to a network- path issue: a classic PMTU-discovery blackhole, where the remote peer sends a segment that needs in-flight fragmentation, the ICMP fragmentation-needed reply required for real PMTUD is filtered/lost on some hop, and the peer's retransmits of the oversized segment never arrive. Reproduced identically across many unrelated destinations/CDNs simultaneously, ruling out any single origin's WAF/anti-bot behavior. Mitigation: clamp TCP_MAXSEG (pre-connect, via the existing Control/ ifbind socket-setup hook used by all outbound TCP dials) to a conservative 1400 bytes, forcing remote peers to never send us a segment large enough to need in-path fragmentation on typical access networks/tunnels. This is a standard, low-risk mitigation for this failure class -- it slightly reduces peak per-segment throughput on very large transfers but does not affect correctness.
…gation Not intended for permanent inclusion; will be reverted once the root cause is confirmed. Adds: - protect.clampMSS: getsockopt(TCP_MAXSEG) readback logged alongside the setsockopt call, to confirm the kernel actually honored our requested clamp (some kernels silently cap/ignore it). - dialers/retrier.dialStratLocked: logs the resolved split-strategy per dial attempt, to get ground truth on whether split/anti- censorship is really disabled at the dial layer (vs trusting the UI-level setting alone). - dialers/retrier.Read: pre- and post-read golang.org/x/sys/unix TCP_INFO snapshots (retransmits, rtt, last_data_recv, unacked) via getsockopt(TCP_INFO), bracketing every raw socket Read() call. Lets us see, at the exact moment a read stalls/times out, whether the kernel ever observed a retransmit attempt from the peer during the stall -- distinguishing a genuine network-path blackhole (no retransmits seen) from data arriving-but-undelivered (would show non-zero retransmits / rx_queue), which would instead point back at our own relay code. - netstack.GTCPConn.Read/Write: app-facing (netstack) side byte-count and error visibility (log.VV, requires raising the in-app Go log level to Verbose/Very-Verbose to observe), to check independently whether the app itself stops reading/writing during a stall.
…d conn errors out abnormally
Closes a long-standing TODO ('Propagate TCP RST using local.Abort(), on
appropriate errors'). download() previously always gracefully closed
the app-facing conn's write-half (FIN) once its remote->local copy
loop (core.Pipe) returned -- even when that return was due to a
genuine abnormal error (eg: our own idle-read timeout firing because a
CDN peer silently stopped sending more data on an otherwise fully
healthy, ESTABLISHED connection -- confirmed via kernel TCP_INFO:
retransmits=0, unacked=0 at the moment of timeout, ruling out packet
loss/blackhole).
A graceful FIN signals 'no more data, but everything received so far
is a complete, valid response' to the peer's TCP/HTTP stack. Silently
downgrading a real error into that signal is at best ambiguous and at
worst actively misleading for HTTP clients relying on this connection
(eg: a still-buffering in-flight response, or a keep-alive pool that
may not immediately notice or correctly recover from the close),
particularly for long-lived streaming responses without a client-known
final length.
Fix: resetOrClose() in common.go now inspects the actual copy-loop
error. A plain io.EOF (peer's own graceful close) still results in a
normal CloseOp/FIN as before. Any other, abnormal error now sends an
RST via the app-facing *netstack.GTCPConn's existing Abort() method
(added generically via a minimal local 'aborter' interface, so it's a
no-op fallback to the prior graceful-close behavior for any conn type
that doesn't support Abort()), giving the app an unambiguous,
immediate ECONNRESET signal instead.

[bug · high]
Applying the caller's stored deadline unconditionally on every Read (including during the retry window) overrides the short read deadline that teedFirstWrite (line ~655) and retryWriteReadLocked (line ~499) deliberately set on the conn to trigger a retry. SetReadDeadline explicitly avoids this interference ("Don't enforce read deadlines until after the retry is complete. Retry relies on setting its own read deadline..."). Concretely, when the caller has not set a read deadline (r.readDeadline is zero, e.g. the retrier is used unwrapped because ReadTimeoutSec<=0), this line clears c's deadline, so the first read after the first write blocks indefinitely and the retry never fires; when a deadline is set, it replaces the short retry deadline with the (typically longer) caller deadline, delaying the retry. Suggest applying it only once the retry is complete, mirroring SetReadDeadline.

dbgTCPInfo runs on every Read (two TCP_INFO getsockopt calls + fmt.Sprintf + a log.I line per call), i.e. once per packet on a hot data path. Besides the syscall/allocation cost, logging on every read can flood logs and perturb the timing of the very stalls being investigated. Since this is explicitly temporary instrumentation, consider gating it behind a debug flag/sampling rather than running it unconditionally.

[performance · low]
This debug instrumentation runs unconditionally on the socket-creation hot path (one getsockopt + one log.I per outbound TCP connection). Unlike the existing per-socket log a few lines above (which uses log.VV and is therefore gated), log.I is always enabled, so this will emit a line for every connection in production builds. Since the comment itself marks this as temporary, either remove the readback/log before committing, or downgrade it to log.VV (and keep the permanent MSS clamp separate) so it stays out of normal logs.

529-529: Do not replace the retry deadline before retry completion.
Readappliesr.readDeadlineto the provisional connection beforer.retryCompleted()is true. This conflicts withSetReadDeadline, which reserves that phase for the retrier-managed timeout. A zero caller deadline clears that timeout, so a silent peer can block the first read and prevent the retry. Apply the caller deadline only after retry completion.

Guard TCP diagnostics with the debug setting.
For a non-nil TCP connection, retrier.Read calls dbgTCPInfo before and after c.Read. The normal splitter path delegates SyscallConn to *net.TCPConn, so each read can execute two unix.GetsockoptTCPInfo calls. log.I is enabled at the default INFO level, and no debug guard suppresses it. Active streams can therefore incur per-read syscall, formatting, and info-log overhead. Guard the complete diagnostic block with settings.Debug, or remove it before release.

…blocks, not just 0.0.0.0/:: Some public ad/tracker-blocking DNS resolvers signal a blocked domain by answering with a loopback address (127.0.0.1 / ::1) instead of the more common unspecified address (0.0.0.0 / ::) that xdns.AQuadAUnspecified() already detects. Every block-detection check in this codebase only tested for the unspecified-address form, so a loopback-sinkholed answer was silently treated as a normal, real answer: - UpstreamBlocks was never set on the DNS summary, so on-device query logs report such domains as NOT blocked even though they effectively are. - Any TCP connect a client subsequently makes to that loopback IP never enters the VPN tunnel at all (Android does not route loopback-destined traffic through a VPN's tun interface), so it is invisible to FirewallManager/ConnectionTracker: the app just gets an instant local ECONNREFUSED from the OS with zero visibility or control from this engine. - DNS64 synthesis and the multi-resolver "Plus" fallback logic would both treat such a loopback answer as a legitimate, usable answer rather than recognizing it as an upstream block signal. Fix: add xdns.AQuadALoopback(), analogous to the existing xdns.AQuadAUnspecified(), and OR it into every upstream-answer block-detection check: alg.go's querySecondary block-detection and DNS64-summary block-detection, transport.go's ansblocked computation, plus.go's multi-resolver ipblock detection, and x64/dns64.go's two DNS64 synthesis guards. No functional change for upstream answers that were already correctly recognized as blocked (0.0.0.0/::); this only extends recognition to the loopback-sinkhole style some resolvers use.

This DEBUG-INSTRUMENTATION line fires on every abnormal (non-EOF) copy failure and logs at Info level with the full error, on a path that can be hit frequently (e.g. every idle-read timeout, every peer reset). The line itself notes it is temporary, so please remove it before this is committed, or at least gate it behind the verbose/debug logger so it does not add production log volume.

This unconditional deadline re-application runs even while the retry sequence is still pending (retryCompleted() == false), which contradicts the deliberate invariant documented on SetReadDeadline ("Don't enforce read deadlines until after the retry is complete. Retry relies on setting its own read deadline, and we don't want this to interfere.").
Concretely: teedFirstWrite sets a short RTT-based read deadline on the provisional conn (c.SetReadDeadline(time.Now().Add(readWait)), line ~655) so a silent peer triggers a split retry quickly. This new call overwrites it with the caller's (usually much longer) idle deadline, so the first read no longer times out as designed and the retry is delayed. Worse, if the caller's deadline is the zero value (e.g. ReadTimeoutSec <= 0, where extendr calls SetDeadline(time.Time{})), this clears the retry deadline entirely and the read can block indefinitely — retries never fire, which is the opposite of the intended fix.
Gate the refresh on retry completion: the post-retry idle reads this change targets all happen with retryCompleted() == true, so the stated hang is still fixed while the retrier keeps control of its own deadline during retry.

These DEBUG-INSTRUMENTATION hooks run unconditionally on the hottest path: every Read now performs two GetsockoptTCPInfo syscalls (each via SyscallConn().Control) plus two string-Sprintfs and a log.I call, and dialStratLocked logs at info level on every dial attempt — all regardless of log level. On a steady-state connection this adds measurable per-read syscall/allocation/logging overhead and floods the logs. Since the code itself states it is temporary, please remove it (or gate it behind a debug flag / build tag) before merging rather than shipping it in the production read path.

[performance · medium]
Raising this guard from 1s to getproxytimeout (5s) increases the worst-case blocking of every proxyFor/ProxyFor caller on the one path this deadline actually governs: when the RLock in the core.Grx closure is stuck behind a writer. On expiry errGetProxyTimeout is returned, and ProxyFor returns it immediately (line 888's !errors.Is(err, errProxyNotFound) is true), so the extra 4s is pure added latency, not extra waiting-for-registration: it only applies to a genuinely stalled lock, which 5s won't clear any more than 1s will. Meanwhile the stated justification (a px.Lock() hold >1s during proxy setup/teardown) is not supported by this code: addOrUpdateProxy constructs the proxy before pxr.add(p) acquires the lock (proxy.go:238-270), and add()'s locked section only writes the map plus atomic Pause()/Status() and a non-blocking queueEvent (proxies.go:370-448, 1216-1229) — so a legitimate 1s–5s hold that this longer timeout would rescue is not reachable here. Since ProxyFor is documented as being called on the delay-sensitive main service thread (intra.NewTunnel), and doh.newTransport re-enters ProxyFor on ErrGetProxyTimeout, please keep this deadlock-recovery guard short (or introduce a dedicated, shorter constant) unless there is concrete evidence of writers holding px.Lock() for that long.

clampMSS runs inside the Control callback, i.e. once per outbound TCP socket creation. log.I maps to Glogger.Infof, and the default level set in intra/log/log.go init() is INFO, so this readback is logged unconditionally on every dial (not just while the Zee5/PMTUD investigation is open). On a busy proxy this floods the log buffer/file with one line per connection. Since this is explicitly temporary debug instrumentation, demote it to a verbose level (log.VV) so it stays available for debugging without hitting the default log path.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
[bug · high]
extendForever() here removes the socket's read/write deadlines, but in this codebase a genuine *net.TCPConn cannot actually use the zero-copy path: rwext only ever wraps the remote conn, whose counterpart is the userspace netstack conn (tcp.go line 486: "src always *gonet.TCPConn"), which is neither *net.TCPConn nor syscall.Conn. Go's (*net.TCPConn).ReadFrom therefore never uses splice and silently falls back to an unbounded generic io.Copy loop (the very fallback retrier.ReadFrom at line ~884 explicitly guards against). Because common.go now deliberately keeps rwext in place whenever timeoutsecs > 0 precisely so its per-call deadlines bound idle reads, this branch negates that protection: a peer that silently stops sending (no RST/FIN) blocks the relay forever — TCP_USER_TIMEOUT only bounds unacknowledged writes, not idle reads. Note retrier.ReadFrom in this same change set disables deadlines only after a canOptimizeReadFrom check; apply the same guard here (i.e. only call extendForever() when the source r is actually splice/sendfile-capable) and otherwise fall through to core.Stream, which extends deadlines per call.
| case *net.TCPConn: | ||
| // see ReadFrom for why this is scoped to a genuine os-level conn. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
[bug · high]
Same issue as ReadFrom, and this is the direction where the stall actually matters: download() calls Pipe(local, remote) → remote.WriteTo(local), so this reads from the remote peer. The write target w is the userspace *netstack.GTCPConn, which is neither a real socket fd nor syscall.Conn, so (*net.TCPConn).WriteTo never uses sendfile and falls back to a generic io.Copy loop. With deadlines cleared by extendForever(), a peer that stops sending leaves this read blocked indefinitely — contradicting the rationale in the new comment and the common.go change that keeps rwext alive to bound idle reads. Only disable deadlines when w is genuinely sendfile-eligible; otherwise use core.Stream(w, rw).
rwext.Read() reset its idle-read deadline to a flat settings.DialerOpts.ReadTimeoutSec (default 10s, see PersistentState.kt:dialTimeoutSec) on every call, regardless of whether the conn had ever exchanged data. That 10s default was introduced to kill PMTUD/censorship-blackholed conns that never respond at all (v2.0.1 Zee5 freeze fix). Root-caused via 3-state (vpn-off / vpn-on+warm-app-cache / vpn-on+cold-app-cache) logcat capture+diff (2026-09-13): on a cold Zee5 app-cache launch, the video CDN's persistent HTTPS conn receives the DASH/HLS manifest response, then legitimately sits fully idle for slightly over 10s while the client does DRM/token provisioning before issuing its next (segment-fetch) request on the same keep-alive conn. Firestack's 10s idle-read timeout fires first, RSTs the conn out from under the app, and Zee5 never retries -- a silent, permanent, no-error player hang. Track a per-conn warm flag (rwext.warm, *atomic.Bool) set the first time Read() returns >0 bytes. Once warm, deadlines() grants at least warmReadGraceSec (45s) on subsequent reads instead of the base timeout, since a conn that has already exchanged data is proven alive and not a blackhole candidate -- it's merely idling between two logical HTTP requests on a reused connection. Cold (never-yet-successful) conns are unaffected and keep the original short, aggressive deadline.

[bug · high]
Regression from keeping remote wrapped: with a positive timeout configured (the common case — SetTimeout() returns didSet=true, secs>0), remote now stays a rwext. But rwext only embeds net.Conn (no CloseRead/CloseWrite), so it does NOT implement core.TCPConn/core.DuplexCloser. Consequently core.CloseOp(remote, core.CopR) in download() and core.CloseOp(remote, core.CopW) in upload() now fall through to case io.Closer in core/closer.go and invoke rwext.Close() — a full close of the upstream conn instead of the intended half-close.
Since upload and download run concurrently and share remote, whichever returns first now tears down both directions. E.g. upload's CopW (FIN after the app half-closes its write) will kill download's still-in-flight read, truncating the response; symmetrically download's CopR aborts upload's in-flight writes. Previously the unwrapped conn (*dialers.retrier/*splitter/*net.TCPConn) implemented DuplexCloser, so CopR/CopW were true half-closes. Suggest making rwext implement CloseRead()/CloseWrite() delegating to rw.Unwrap() (so CloseOp keeps working after this change).

[bug · high]
This unconditional SetReadDeadline also runs while the retry sequence is still in progress (c is the provisional conn, r.retryCompleted() is false), which contradicts the retrier's own design: SetReadDeadline deliberately defers applying the caller deadline until retry completes ("Retry relies on setting its own read deadline, and we don't want this to interfere"), and teedFirstWrite/retryWriteReadLocked set the conn's short retry deadline via readTimeoutLocked() (now + r.timeout, the RTT-derived timeout).
Because rdeadline is the caller deadline (e.g. rwext.extendr's ReadTimeoutSec, default 10s) and r.timeout is the short RTT-derived window, this call overrides the retry deadline before the first read, delaying the retry trigger. Worse, when no read timeout is configured (rwext is unwrapped in baseHandler.forward when timeoutsecs <= 0, so no one ever calls SetReadDeadline), r.readDeadline is the zero value, so this clears the retry's short deadline entirely — the first read then blocks without the short timeout and the retry never fires (the exact blackhole hang the retry exists to handle). Gate on retry completion, consistent with SetReadDeadline's contract.

dbgTCPInfo is called twice on every Read (each doing a syscall.Conn assert, SyscallConn() and a raw.Control getsockopt syscall), and the snapshot is logged unconditionally at Info level on the data path — i.e. per read/chunk on every forwarded TCP connection. This adds measurable syscall/logging overhead to the hot path and can flood logs with local/remote endpoints. Since this is explicitly temporary instrumentation, consider gating it behind a package-level debug flag (or log.Verbose/level V) so it is a no-op in production builds and cannot be left enabled by accident.

[bug · medium]
The new loopback condition conflicts with this file's existing model of loopback as a legitimate local answer. isLocalIP (line 101) explicitly treats only unspecified 0.0.0.0/:: as a block signal ("unspecified (0.0.0.0/::) signals blocks, not local answers") and groups loopback together with private/link-local as local. Here (and at line 1523 in q) any loopback A/AAAA record is now treated as an upstream block, so legitimate loopback resolutions get misclassified: e.g. hairpin/local services, wildcard DNS hosts such as nip.io/xip.io that intentionally resolve to 127.0.0.1, and any answer set that mixes a routable address with 127.0.0.1/::1. In this branch all real IPs are dropped and replaced with 0.0.0.0/:: (marking the whole domain blocked), and in q() ALG is skipped and the domain is reported blocked. Consider narrowing the check so only answers whose A/AAAA records are all loopback (no routable address) signal a block, or align isLocalIP/hasLocalIPAnswer with the new semantics.

This is explicit temporary debug instrumentation (per the adjacent comment) placed on the per-Read/per-Write hot path of the TCP relay. Every Read/Write call now builds a variadic []any (g.o, n, len(data), err) and invokes the logger, even at the default (non-VVERBOSE) level where the body is a no-op; when VVERBOSE is actually enabled it will emit one line per read/write, which is both noisy and can perturb the very timing being investigated.

This debug instrumentation runs on every TCP socket creation (ifbind is used for dialers AND listeners), adding an extra GetsockoptInt syscall plus an always-on log.I line per connection. Since log.I is not gated by a verbosity level, this will spam production logs and add per-connection overhead. Even though it's marked temporary, it shouldn't be committed as-is. Drop the readback/log (or at minimum gate it behind verbose logging and log only on failure).

The prior fix (commit 6d24690) granted a fixed 45s idle-read grace to 'warm' conns (proven alive via >=1 successful read) instead of the base 10s deadline. On-device re-test (2026-09-13, vpn-on+cold-cache) showed this was still insufficient: Zee5's cold-cache DRM/token provisioning think-time exceeded 45s on this run, so the connection was RST at the 45s mark instead of 10s -- delaying but not fixing the hang. Since no finite grace period can be guaranteed sufficient (app think-time is unbounded and variable), remove the idle-read deadline entirely for warm conns instead of picking a larger fixed number. A warm conn has already proven 2-way liveness, so it is provably not a PMTUD/censorship blackhole candidate; a genuine mid-stream death is still caught via a real RST/FIN from the peer or the OS TCP stack's own keepalive, without needing an app-level timer to force it. Cold (never-yet-successful) conns are unaffected and keep the original aggressive 10s deadline (settings.DialerOpts.ReadTimeoutSec), which is what catches genuine blackholed connections and is required to prevent the original Zee5 hang mode that motivated dialTimeoutSec's 0->10 change (see PersistentState.kt). UDP conns are unaffected: rw.minidle's 120s floor for udp is preserved even when warm, since UDP flows have no real end-of-stream signal equivalent to TCP's RST/FIN and still need bounded idle cleanup.

This applies the caller's read deadline to c even while the retry sequence is still in progress. But teedFirstWrite (see its c.SetReadDeadline(time.Now().Add(readWait))) installs a short, strategy-derived read deadline on the same conn specifically so the first read fails fast and triggers a split retry, and SetReadDeadline documents the invariant: "Don't enforce read deadlines until after the retry is complete. Retry relies on setting its own read deadline, and we don't want this to interfere." During the retry window r.readDeadline is the caller's deadline (e.g. rwext.extendr sets ~10s for a cold conn, via SetReadDeadline which intentionally does not touch c until retry completes), so this line overwrites the retrier's short deadline and delays the retry by seconds; if r.readDeadline is zero (e.g. ReadTimeoutSec=0, or a caller that never sets one) it clears the deadline entirely and the first read can block indefinitely, defeating the retry path. Only refresh the deadline once the retry is done.

dbgTCPInfo adds a getsockopt(TCP_INFO) syscall plus a log.I line on every Read call (two snapshots per call). Since the non-optimized WriteTo/ReadFrom branches now stream through r.Read, this cost and log volume applies per chunk on the copy paths as well. This is explicitly temporary debug instrumentation, so it should be removed or gated behind a debug flag before merge rather than left on the hot read path.

The value 1400 does not actually provide the headroom the adjacent comment claims for the encapsulation examples it names. A WireGuard path (default MTU 1420) yields only 1380 (IPv4) / 1360 (IPv6) of usable TCP MSS, and 1400 still exceeds both; on a mid-path-encapsulated route (where the local interface MTU is still 1500, so the kernel does not clamp the advertised MSS for you), a full 1400-byte segment plus headers still exceeds the path MTU, so this mitigation is ineffective in exactly the scenario the doc cites. Consider lowering the cap (e.g. ~1300) to cover IPv6 + tunnel overhead, or narrow the comment if only local-interface MTUs are intended.

This runs for every outbound TCP socket created via ifbind (the default log level is INFO, see logger.go defaultLevel), so it emits a line per socket in production, plus an extra GetsockoptInt syscall whose only purpose is the debug readback.

This executes for every outbound TCP socket created via ifbind, and the default log level is INFO (logger.go: defaultLevel = INFO), so it emits a production log line per socket plus an extra GetsockoptInt syscall that only serves the debug readback. Since the code is explicitly marked as temporary instrumentation, consider gating it behind log.VV (or dropping the readback) before merging.

Dropping the read deadline to rw.minidle (0 for tcp) for warm conns removes the only bound on a Read that stalls. The rationale above claims a mid-stream death is still caught by "the OS TCP stack's own keepalive", but keepalive is disabled by default: maybeKeepAlive2() in intra/ipn/auto.go calls core.DisableKeepAlive(c) (SO_KEEPALIVE=0) whenever settings.DialerOpts.LowerKeepAlive is false, which is the default. With neither a read deadline nor keepalive, a warm conn that is silently blackholed mid-stream (no RST/FIN) blocks in Read forever — exactly the unbounded-hang failure ReadTimeoutSec was introduced to prevent, just moved from cold to warm conns. Consider retaining a finite (even if large) idle-read bound for warm conns, or only rely on keepalive once it has been verified enabled on the wrapped conn.

Returning r == 0 for a warm tcp conn also has a side effect beyond the read path: rwext.extendr() → common.extendr(c, 0) calls c.SetDeadline(time.Time{}), which clears BOTH the read and the write deadline (it is not SetReadDeadline). forward() runs upload (rw.Write → extendw sets the write deadline) and download (rw.Read → extendr clears it) concurrently on the same rwext, so WriteTimeoutSec can be silently wiped out by every read on a warm conn, letting a stalled write block indefinitely. Either return a large finite value here (so SetDeadline sets a far-future deadline instead of clearing both) or have common.extendr use SetReadDeadline for the zero case.

For UDP, rwext.minidle is udptimeout (120s), so the new warm branch in rwconn.go (once a read succeeds, deadlines() returns only rw.minidle) provides no benefit here: cold and warm both resolve to 120s under the default dopt.ReadTimeoutSec (10s). But dopt.ReadTimeoutSec is user-configurable with no upper bound (SetDialerOpts), so if it is set > 120s, a UDP conn that has read >= 1 byte will now have its read deadline clamped down to 120s, whereas before this change it was max(120, ReadTimeoutSec) - i.e. the read timeout actually shrinks after the first successful read. This contradicts the "120s for udp => unchanged from before" claim in rwconn.go and could prematurely tear down legitimately long-idle UDP flows. If preserving the prior UDP behaviour is intended, pass warm: nil here and at line 205 (deadlines() already guards rw.warm != nil); otherwise please document that clamping warm UDP reads to 120s is intentional.
Zee5's video CDN (Akamai-fronted) closes idle-but-alive connections via a clean FIN at ~120s; the app's HTTP client does not transparently retry on the dead pooled connection, causing a permanent hang. The existing keepalive tuning (sockopt.go defaultIdle=600s) is far too slow to matter against this window. When the user enables the existing tcpKeepAlive/LowerKeepAlive setting, Exit-proxied connections now use a 20s idle / 5s interval / 4-probe keepalive config instead of the slow default -- best-effort experiment; only helps if the peer's idle-close tracks raw TCP socket activity rather than HTTP-level activity.

Leftover DEBUG-INSTRUMENTATION (self-marked "temporary") in a production teardown path: this runs unconditionally via log.I on every abnormal close and logs the error value. Remove it before merge, or at least gate it behind log.VV/log.Debug so it doesn't fire in normal builds.

The RST-on-error propagation is wired only into download(); upload() (intra/common.go:615-628) still does an unconditional graceful defer core.CloseOp(local, core.CopR) even when core.Pipe(remote, local) fails abnormally, and the TODO: Propagate TCP RST using local.Abort(), on appropriate errors note this diff deletes was placed right above upload(). This asymmetry matters more now that warm conns have no read deadline (see rwconn.go deadlines()): on a blackholed/stalled path upload() is the side that observes the failure (its write deadline fires and it returns a non-nil err), while download() may stay blocked in Read() with no deadline, so forward() never reaches its RST path and the app-facing conn only gets a graceful read-half close — the app can hang instead of failing fast. Consider giving upload() the same treatment (promote/hoist err and call resetOrClose(local, core.CopR, err) from its defer), or keep the TODO if that direction is intentionally out of scope.

Applying the caller's read deadline unconditionally here also runs before the retry sequence completes, and that breaks the retrier's own retry timeouts. teedFirstWrite deliberately arms the provisional conn with a short deadline (c.SetReadDeadline(time.Now().Add(readWait)), where readWait = readTimeoutLocked() ≈ max(rtt*2, 9s/spread), typically 1–9s) so a silent peer triggers a retry. SetReadDeadline documents/enforces this invariant explicitly ("Don't enforce read deadlines until after the retry is complete. Retry relies on setting its own read deadline, and we don't want this to interfere.") by only touching c when r.retryCompleted(). This new line bypasses that guard: in the common path (rwext.extendr sets ~10s by default), it replaces the short retry timeout with the caller's longer deadline, delaying retry-on-stall; and if the caller has no read deadline (rdeadline is the zero time, e.g. ReadTimeoutSec disabled), SetReadDeadline(zero) clears the internal timeout entirely, so the stall read blocks indefinitely and no retry ever fires. Only re-apply the caller's deadline after the retry sequence has completed.

dbgTCPInfo acquires the syscall.Conn/RawConn and issues a GetsockoptTCPInfo syscall plus a fmt.Sprintf, and it is invoked twice (pre/post) on every Read — i.e. on the per-packet data path. Because call arguments are evaluated before the call, this expensive work is paid unconditionally even when INFO logging is disabled; log.I's internal level check cannot help. This is a measurable per-read regression in release builds. Please gate the instrumentation behind a log-level / build-tag check (or drop it before merging, as the comment intends).

[bug · medium]
SetKeepAliveConfigSockOpt doesn't only apply the keepalive options — it also derives TCP_USER_TIMEOUT from the same args (usertimeoutms := idle*1000 + interval*count, see intra/core/sockopt.go:112, applied at line 142). Passing (20, 5, 4) therefore silently lowers TCP_USER_TIMEOUT from ~600s (previous no-arg/default call) to ~20s. Unlike keepalive probes, TCP_USER_TIMEOUT applies to active data: if transmitted data remains unacknowledged, or buffered data can't be sent (e.g. a zero-window peer), the connection is forcibly closed after ~20s. On a VPN path with transient network handoffs/stalls or a slow peer, this can abort otherwise-recoverable connections. Please confirm this side effect is intended; if only idle keepalive was meant to change, this call needs a variant that leaves TCP_USER_TIMEOUT alone (or a larger value), and the comment should call out the user-timeout change explicitly.

ifbind is shared by dialers and listeners (MakeNsListener/MakeNsListenConfigExt, reached via RDial.Accept and used by e.g. dialers.Listen in base/exit proxies), so clampMSS also runs on listening sockets, even though clampedMSS's doc says it is applied to "all outbound TCP sockets". On Linux the clamped TCP_MAXSEG can be inherited by accepted connections, so this is broader than documented. If only outbound dials are intended, scope the clamp to the dialer path rather than the shared ifbind helper; otherwise update the doc to state that inbound/listening sockets are clamped too.

clampMSS is invoked for every TCP socket created via ifbind, and this block unconditionally performs an extra GetsockoptInt syscall and an Info-level log per connection. Since it is explicitly marked as temporary debug instrumentation, it should be removed before commit, or at least gated behind debug/verbose logging (log.Debug/log.VV) so production connections don't spam the log and pay a redundant syscall per socket.

warm is tracked on the rwext wrapper, which outlives the conn it wraps. For the TCP path (intra/tcp.go:487) Conn is often a *dialers.retrier, and the retrier replaces its underlying socket on retry (dialers/retrier.go retryWriteReadLocked -> dialLocked). Because warm is never reset, a freshly dialed socket that has never delivered a byte inherits warm=true:
- read Explore circumvention of Iran's "Protocol Whitelister" #1 returns
n > 0from socket A ->warm = true; - a later read fails on A, so the retrier redials socket B, whose first read returns
(0, nil)->retryReadErr == nil, so the retrier keeps B anderris set to nil (retrier.goretry loop); - every subsequent read on B sees
warm == true, sodeadlines()returnsr = minidle = 0and B gets no read deadline at all.
This breaks the invariant the change relies on ("never-yet-successful (cold) conns ... keep the short, aggressive base deadline") and leaves a genuinely blackholed freshly-dialed socket unbounded. Consider scoping warm to the underlying conn (or having the retrier reset the flag when it swaps sockets), rather than the wrapper.

minidle is 0 for TCP (intra/udp.go: tcptimeout = 0), so this returns r = 0. That value is consumed by the helpers in intra/common.go, whose t.Milliseconds() <= 0 branch calls c.SetDeadline(time.Time{}) (not SetReadDeadline), which has two consequences:
- Warm TCP conns get no read deadline at all. The rationale above relies on "the OS TCP stack's own keepalive eventually detects the dead link", but that is not guaranteed: Firestack explicitly disables
SO_KEEPALIVEfor proxy-dialed conns unlessDialerOpts.LowerKeepAliveis set (intra/ipn/auto.gomaybeKeepAlive2->core.DisableKeepAlive, called from base/exit/auto dials). A warm conn whose path blackholes mid-stream can therefore blockReadforever with no timer to catch it - the same silent permanent-hang class this change set out to remove. SetDeadline(time.Time{})also clears the write deadline, so a write blocked at the moment a warm read callsextendr()loses itsWriteTimeoutSecbound (onlyTCP_USER_TIMEOUTfromSetTimeoutmitigates it, and only where that setsockopt succeeded).
Suggestion: keep an explicit upper bound for warm conns (or make extendr clear only the read deadline), and confirm the keepalive backstop actually applies to the conns in question before dropping the deadline entirely.

This PR combines three independently-confirmed, scoped fixes on top of
n2:1.
intra/ipn/proxies.go- restoregetproxytimeoutforproxyFor's lock-read guardproxyFor()'s internal timeout for itsRLock'd map-read goroutine was shortened fromgetproxytimeout(5s) tominWaitPeriodSec/2(1s) as an apparent side-effect of an unrelatedminWaitPeriodSec: 3 -> 2tweak, with no accompanying doc-comment update and no mention in the commit message.ProxyFor()'s doc-comment says: "As a special case, if it takes longer thangetproxytimeout, it returns an error." - but the code no longer usedgetproxytimeoutfor this path at all.More importantly,
ProxyFor()only retries/waits for a missing proxy whenisWellknown(id)is true. For any other, app-registered custom proxy id,proxyFor()'s lookup is the only attempt made - there's no fallback wait/retry. The lookup itself is a cheapRLock'd map read, but the pairedLock()inAddProxy/RemoveProxycan legitimately hold the mutex longer than 1s on a loaded/low-RAM device, especially for proxy implementations that perform real I/O in their constructor. Shortening this guard to 1s turns a rare, recoverable stall into a hard, unretried lookup failure for any custom proxy id registered around that window.Fix: restore
timeout := getproxytimeout, matching the function's own doc-comment and its original deadlock-recovery intent.2.
intra/common.go- don't discardrwextread/write deadlines whenTCP_USER_TIMEOUTis setforward()unwraps the remote conn from itsrwextdeadline wrapper wheneverrwext.SetTimeout()returnsdidSet=true, treating a successfully-applied low-level sockopt as equivalent to having a software read/write deadline in place.SetTimeout()only setsTCP_USER_TIMEOUTviacore.SetTimeoutSockOpt().TCP_USER_TIMEOUTbounds how long unacknowledged outbound data may go unacked before the kernel force-closes the connection - it has no effect on a blockingRead()simply waiting for more data from a peer that has gone idle without sending RST/FIN. It is not a receive/idle timeout.Once unwrapped, the only mechanism that could bound such a
Read()-rwext'sextendr()/extendw(), which apply real per-callSetReadDeadline/SetWriteDeadlineviasettings.DialerOpts- is discarded entirely.Fix: only unwrap
remotefromrwextwhentimeoutsecs <= 0(i.e. no deadline configured at all, sorwext.Read/Writeis a true no-op). When a positive timeout is configured, keepremotewrapped soextendr()/extendw()continue enforcing a real per-call deadline in addition to (not instead of) theTCP_USER_TIMEOUTsockopt optimization.3.
intra/dialers/retrier.go- re-apply read/write deadlines on every call, not just onceFix #2 above turned out to be necessary but not sufficient: it only protects connections relayed via plain
Read/Write. Connections proxied through*retrier(used for the dialer-retry/multi-dial path) are typically relayed viacore.Pipe(), which prefersio.WriterTo/io.ReaderFromwhen available for zero-copy - and*retrierimplements both.Two compounding bugs were found in
retrier:retrier.Read()/Write()only pushed the caller-configured deadline (set viaSetReadDeadline/SetWriteDeadline, e.g. byrwext.extendr()/extendw()on every call) down to the underlying raw conn once, at the moment the retry sequence completed. Every subsequent Read/Write left the raw conn's deadline frozen at whatever was last applied, so a caller diligently refreshing an idle timeout on every call had no effect after the first retry cycle.retrier.WriteTo()/ReadFrom()'s non-optimized fallback (used whenever the writer/reader isn't itself splice-optimizable, e.g. relaying to a gVisor netstack conn) streamed directly against the raw underlying conn (core.Stream(w, c)/core.Stream(c, reader)), bypassingretrier.Read/Write- and thus any deadline logic - entirely.Net effect: once a relayed connection's initial handshake/retry sequence completed, it had no idle read/write timeout for its entire remaining lifetime, regardless of fix #2 or any
settings.DialerOptsconfiguration.Reproduced consistently on-device, even with fix #2 live in the running binary: a TCP socket to a video CDN entered an idle-
ESTABLISHEDstate with zero rx/tx queue bytes and never recovered - confirmed via correlated/proc/net/tcp+ application-level logging showing the exact same stuck socket, with the relay's own debug log showingrfullt: 106751d...(Go's zero-value/"no deadline"time.Time, printed as a duration) as the effective read deadline being applied to the raw socket, well after the retry sequence had completed.Fix: always (re)apply the current read/write deadline to the underlying conn before every raw
Read/Writecall (not just while retries are in progress), and routeWriteTo/ReadFrom's non-optimized fallback throughretrier's ownRead/Writeso it benefits from that refresh instead of bypassing it.All three changes are minimal, scoped, and independently verified:
go build/go vetclean forlinux/arm64(matches Android's kernel ABI for the syscalls touched).Supersedes #248 and #249, consolidated here for easier review.
