Andrew Dunham c5abbcd4b4 wgengine/netstack: add a per-client limit for in-flight TCP forwards
This is a fun one. Right now, when a client is connecting through a
subnet router, here's roughly what happens:

1. The client initiates a connection to an IP address behind a subnet
   router, and sends a TCP SYN
2. The subnet router gets the SYN packet from netstack, and after
   running through acceptTCP, starts DialContext-ing the destination IP,
   without accepting the connection¹
3. The client retransmits the SYN packet a few times while the dial is
   in progress, until either...
4. The subnet router successfully establishes a connection to the
   destination IP and sends the SYN-ACK back to the client, or...
5. The subnet router times out and sends a RST to the client.
6. If the connection was successful, the client ACKs the SYN-ACK it
   received, and traffic starts flowing

As a result, the notification code in forwardTCP never notices when a
new connection attempt is aborted, and it will wait until either the
connection is established, or until the OS-level connection timeout is
reached and it aborts.

To mitigate this, add a per-client limit on how many in-flight TCP
forwarding connections can be in-progress; after this, clients will see
a similar behaviour to the global limit, where new connection attempts
are aborted instead of waiting. This prevents a single misbehaving
client from blocking all other clients of a subnet router by ensuring
that it doesn't starve the global limiter.

Also, bump the global limit again to a higher value.

¹ We can't accept the connection before establishing a connection to the
remote server since otherwise we'd be opening the connection and then
immediately closing it, which breaks a bunch of stuff; see #5503 for
more details.

Tailscale

https://tailscale.com

Private WireGuard® networks made easy

Overview

This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code. Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and to varying degrees on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.

Other Tailscale repos of note:

For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.

Using

We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms at https://pkgs.tailscale.com.

Other clients

The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.

Building

We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.22. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)

go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}

If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:

./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled

If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of build_dist.sh, please do the equivalent of what it does in your distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.

Bugs

Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.

Contributing

PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.

We require Developer Certificate of Origin Signed-off-by lines in commits.

See git log for our commit message style. It's basically the same as Go's style.
