Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: Allow reading TCP RTO sysctl parameters
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 15:23:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108142335.3378196-1-sbrivio@redhat.com> (raw)
From: Martin Pitt <mpitt@redhat.com>
Since commits 3dde0e07804e ("tcp: Update data retransmission timeout")
and 1a834879a2f7 ("tcp: Clamp the retry timeout") from 2025-12-02,
passt reads additional TCP-related sysctl parameters from /proc to
configure retransmission timeout behavior:
- /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syn_retries
- /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syn_linear_timeouts
- /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rto_max_ms
These are read by tcp_get_rto_params() during initialization. Adjust the
AppArmor profile accordingly.

Martin, I took the liberty to add a newline around the lines you're
adding so that we need a single comment and everything is aligned.
I also changed the format of commit references to what we typically
use, which is inspired by the preferred format for kernel submissions,
I used this one-liner:
git show -s --abbrev=12 --pretty=format:"Fixes: %h (\"%s\")" "${SHA}"
which actually belongs to CONTRIBUTING.md, cf. page 1241 of my to-do
book.
