Since 'commit f719e3754ee2 ("ipvs: drop first packet to redirect conntrack")', when a new TCP connection meet the conditions that need reschedule, the first syn packet is dropped, this cause one second latency for the new connection, more discussion about this problem can easy search from google, such as: 1)One second connection delay in masque https://marc.info/?t=151683118100004&r=1&w=2 2)IPVS low throughput #70747 https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/70747 3)Apache Bench can fill up ipvs service proxy in seconds #544 https://github.com/cloudnativelabs/kube-router/issues/544 4)Additional 1s latency in `host -> service IP -> pod` https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/90854 5)kube-proxy ipvs conn_reuse_mode setting causes errors with high load from single client https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/81775 The root cause is when the old session is expired, the conntrack related to the session is dropped by ip_vs_conn_drop_conntrack. The code is as follows: ``` static void ip_vs_conn_expire(struct timer_list *t) { ... if ((cp->flags & IP_VS_CONN_F_NFCT) && !(cp->flags & IP_VS_CONN_F_ONE_PACKET)) { /* Do not access conntracks during subsys cleanup * because nf_conntrack_find_get can not be used after * conntrack cleanup for the net. */ smp_rmb(); if (ipvs->enable) ip_vs_conn_drop_conntrack(cp); } ... } ``` As shown in the code, only when condition (cp->flags & IP_VS_CONN_F_NFCT) is true, the function ip_vs_conn_drop_conntrack will be called. So we optimize this by following steps (Administrators can choose the following optimization by setting net.ipv4.vs.conn_reuse_old_conntrack=1): 1) erase the IP_VS_CONN_F_NFCT flag (it is safely because no packets will use the old session) 2) call ip_vs_conn_expire_now to release the old session, then the related conntrack will not be dropped 3) then ipvs unnecessary to drop the first syn packet, it just continue to pass the syn packet to the next process, create a new ipvs session, and the new session will related to the old conntrack(which is reopened by conntrack as a new one), the next whole things is just as normal as that the old session isn't used to exist. The above processing has no problems except for passive FTP and connmarks (state matching (-m state)). So, ipvs should give users the right to choose，when FTP or connmarks is not used, they can choose a high performance one processing logical by setting net.ipv4.vs.conn_reuse_old_conntrack=1. It is necessary because most business scenarios (such as kubernetes) are not used FTP and connmark, but these services are very sensitive to TCP short connection latency.
