<id>urn:sha1:715f5552b1e90ba3eecf6d1a6d044d0d5226663f</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 4f0087812648 ("sctp: apply rhashtable api to send/recv
path"), sctp uses transport rhashtable with .obj_cmpfn sctp_hash_cmp,
in which it compares the members of the transport with the rhashtable
args to check if it's the right transport.

But sctp uses the transport without holding it in sctp_hash_cmp, it can
cause a use-after-free panic. As after it gets transport from hashtable,
another CPU may close the sk and free the asoc. In sctp_association_free,
it frees all the transports, meanwhile, the assoc's refcnt may be reduced
to 0, assoc can be destroyed by sctp_association_destroy.

So after that, transport-&gt;assoc is actually an unavailable memory address
in sctp_hash_cmp. Although sctp_hash_cmp is under rcu_read_lock, it still
can not avoid this, as assoc is not freed by RCU.

This patch is to hold the transport before checking it's members with
sctp_transport_hold, in which it checks the refcnt first, holds it if
it's not 0.

Because otherwise when crc computation is still needed it's way more
expensive than on a linear buffer to the point that it affects
performance.

It's so expensive that netperf test gives a perf output as below:

<title>sctp: fix BH handling on socket backlog</title>

<id>urn:sha1:eefc1b1d105ee4d2ce907833ce675f1e9599b5e3</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that the backlog processing is called with BH enabled, we have to
disable BH before taking the socket lock via bh_lock_sock() otherwise
it may dead lock:

sctp_backlog_rcv()
                bh_lock_sock(sk);

                if (sock_owned_by_user(sk)) {
                        if (sk_add_backlog(sk, skb, sk-&gt;sk_rcvbuf))
                                sctp_chunk_free(chunk);
                        else
                                backloged = 1;
                } else
                        sctp_inq_push(inqueue, chunk);

                bh_unlock_sock(sk);

while sctp_inq_push() was disabling/enabling BH, but enabling BH
triggers pending softirq, which then may try to re-lock the socket in
sctp_rcv().

<title>sctp: avoid identifying address family many times for a chunk</title>

Identifying address family operations during rx path is not something
expensive but it's ugly to the eye to have it done multiple times,
specially when we already validated it during initial rx processing.

This patch takes advantage of the now shared sctp_input_cb and make the
pointer to the operations readily available.

We process input path in other files too and having access to it is
nice, so move it to a header where it's shared.

SCTP has this pecualiarity that its packets cannot be just segmented to
(P)MTU. Its chunks must be contained in IP segments, padding respected.
So we can't just generate a big skb, set gso_size to the fragmentation
point and deliver it to IP layer.

This patch takes a different approach. SCTP will now build a skb as it
would be if it was received using GRO. That is, there will be a cover
skb with protocol headers and children ones containing the actual
segments, already segmented to a way that respects SCTP RFCs.

With that, we can tell skb_segment() to just split based on frag_list,
trusting its sizes are already in accordance.

This way SCTP can benefit from GSO and instead of passing several
packets through the stack, it can pass a single large packet.

v2:
- Added support for receiving GSO frames, as requested by Dave Miller.
- Clear skb-&gt;cb if packet is GSO (otherwise it's not used by SCTP)
- Added heuristics similar to what we have in TCP for not generating
  single GSO packets that fills cwnd.
v3:
- consider sctphdr size in skb_gso_transport_seglen()
- rebased due to 5c7cdf339af5 ("gso: Remove arbitrary checks for
  unsupported GSO")

<id>urn:sha1:3acb50c18d8d6650f10919464ade4dcdaf41d62f</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch is a preparation for the GSO one. In order to successfully
handle GSO packets on rx path we must not call skb_linearize, otherwise
it defeats any gain GSO may have had.

This patch thus delays as much as possible the call to skb_linearize,
leaving it to sctp_inq_pop() moment. For that the sanity checks
performed now know how to deal with fragments.

One positive side-effect of this is that if the socket is backlogged it
will have the chance of doing it on backlog processing instead of
during softirq.

With this move, it's evident that a check for non-linearity in
sctp_inq_pop was ineffective and is now removed. Note that a similar
check is performed a bit below this one.
