[ Upstream commit 4700c4d80b7bb171f6996016ef121e1508860b42 ]

The Rx protocol has a mechanism to help generate RTT samples that works by
a client transmitting a REQUESTED-type ACK when it receives a DATA packet
that has the REQUEST_ACK flag set.

The peer, however, may interpose other ACKs before transmitting the
REQUESTED-ACK, as can be seen in the following trace excerpt:

 rxrpc_tx_data: c=00000044 DATA d0b5ece8:00000001 00000001 q=00000001 fl=07
 rxrpc_rx_ack: c=00000044 00000001 PNG r=00000000 f=00000002 p=00000000 n=0
 rxrpc_rx_ack: c=00000044 00000002 REQ r=00000001 f=00000002 p=00000001 n=0
 ...

DATA packet 1 (q=xx) has REQUEST_ACK set (bit 1 of fl=xx).  The incoming
ping (labelled PNG) hard-acks the request DATA packet (f=xx exceeds the
sequence number of the DATA packet), causing it to be discarded from the Tx
ring.  The ACK that was requested (labelled REQ, r=xx references the serial
of the DATA packet) comes after the ping, but the sk_buff holding the
timestamp has gone and the RTT sample is lost.

This is particularly noticeable on RPC calls used to probe the service
offered by the peer.  A lot of peers end up with an unknown RTT because we
only ever sent a single RPC.  This confuses the server rotation algorithm.

Fix this by caching the information about the outgoing packet in RTT
calculations in the rxrpc_call struct rather than looking in the Tx ring.

A four-deep buffer is maintained and both REQUEST_ACK-flagged DATA and
PING-ACK transmissions are recorded in there.  When the appropriate
response ACK is received, the buffer is checked for a match and, if found,
an RTT sample is recorded.

If a received ACK refers to a packet with a later serial number than an
entry in the cache, that entry is presumed lost and the entry is made
available to record a new transmission.

ACKs types other than REQUESTED-type and PING-type cause any matching
sample to be cancelled as they don't necessarily represent a useful
measurement.

If there's no space in the buffer on ping/data transmission, the sample
base is discarded.

<title>rxrpc: Fix race between recvmsg and sendmsg on immediate call failure</title>
<updated>2020-07-30T23:50:20Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=65550098c1c4db528400c73acf3e46bfa78d9264'/>
<id>urn:sha1:65550098c1c4db528400c73acf3e46bfa78d9264</id>
<content type='text'>
There's a race between rxrpc_sendmsg setting up a call, but then failing to
send anything on it due to an error, and recvmsg() seeing the call
completion occur and trying to return the state to the user.

An assertion fails in rxrpc_recvmsg() because the call has already been
released from the socket and is about to be released again as recvmsg deals
with it.  (The recvmsg_q queue on the socket holds a ref, so there's no
problem with use-after-free.)

We also have to be careful not to end up reporting an error twice, in such
a way that both returns indicate to userspace that the user ID supplied
with the call is no longer in use - which could cause the client to
malfunction if it recycles the user ID fast enough.

Fix this by the following means:

 (1) When sendmsg() creates a call after the point that the call has been
     successfully added to the socket, don't return any errors through
     sendmsg(), but rather complete the call and let recvmsg() retrieve
     them.  Make sendmsg() return 0 at this point.  Further calls to
     sendmsg() for that call will fail with ESHUTDOWN.

     Note that at this point, we haven't send any packets yet, so the
     server doesn't yet know about the call.

 (2) If sendmsg() returns an error when it was expected to create a new
     call, it means that the user ID wasn't used.

 (3) Mark the call disconnected before marking it completed to prevent an
     oops in rxrpc_release_call().

 (4) recvmsg() will then retrieve the error and set MSG_EOR to indicate
     that the user ID is no longer known by the kernel.

An oops like the following is produced:

	kernel BUG at net/rxrpc/recvmsg.c:605!

<content type='text'>
Fix the interruptibility of kernel-initiated client calls so that they're
either only interruptible when they're waiting for a call slot to come
available or they're not interruptible at all.  Either way, they're not
interruptible during transmission.

This should help prevent StoreData calls from being interrupted when
writeback is in progress.  It doesn't, however, handle interruption during
the receive phase.

Userspace-initiated calls are still interruptable.  After the signal has
been handled, sendmsg() will return the amount of data copied out of the
buffer and userspace can perform another sendmsg() call to continue
transmission.

<title>rxrpc: Fix call RCU cleanup using non-bh-safe locks</title>

<content type='text'>
rxrpc_rcu_destroy_call(), which is called as an RCU callback to clean up a
put call, calls rxrpc_put_connection() which, deep in its bowels, takes a
number of spinlocks in a non-BH-safe way, including rxrpc_conn_id_lock and
local-&gt;client_conns_lock.  RCU callbacks, however, are normally called from
softirq context, which can cause lockdep to notice the locking
inconsistency.

To get lockdep to detect this, it's necessary to have the connection
cleaned up on the put at the end of the last of its calls, though normally
the clean up is deferred.  This can be induced, however, by starting a call
on an AF_RXRPC socket and then closing the socket without reading the
reply.

Fix this by having rxrpc_rcu_destroy_call() punt the destruction to a
workqueue if in softirq-mode and defer the destruction to process context.

Note that another way to fix this could be to add a bunch of bh-disable
annotations to the spinlocks concerned - and there might be more than just
those two - but that means spending more time with BHs disabled.

Note also that some of these places were covered by bh-disable spinlocks
belonging to the rxrpc_transport object, but these got removed without the
_bh annotation being retained on the next lock in.

When a call is disconnected, the connection pointer from the call is
cleared to make sure it isn't used again and to prevent further attempted
transmission for the call.  Unfortunately, there might be a daemon trying
to use it at the same time to transmit a packet.

Fix this by keeping call-&gt;conn set, but setting a flag on the call to
indicate disconnection instead.

Remove also the bits in the transmission functions where the conn pointer is
checked and a ref taken under spinlock as this is now redundant.

<content type='text'>
Fix the cleanup of the crypto state on a call after the call has been
disconnected.  As the call has been disconnected, its connection ref has
been discarded and so we can't go through that to get to the security ops
table.

Fix this by caching the security ops pointer in the rxrpc_call struct and
using that when freeing the call security state.  Also use this in other
places we're dealing with call-specific security.

The symptoms look like:

rxrpc_put_call() calls trace_rxrpc_call() after it has done the decrement
of the refcount - which looks at the debug_id in the call record.  But
unless the refcount was reduced to zero, we no longer have the right to
look in the record and, indeed, it may be deleted by some other thread.

Fix this by getting the debug_id out before decrementing the refcount and
then passing that into the tracepoint.

Use the previously-added transmit-phase skbuff private flag to simplify the
socket buffer tracing a bit.  Which phase the skbuff comes from can now be
divined from the skb rather than having to be guessed from the call state.

We can also reduce the number of rxrpc_skb_trace values by eliminating the
difference between Tx and Rx in the symbols.
