  • Conflicts:

    net/core/sysctl_net_core.c
    net/ipv4/inet_diag.c

    The be_main.c conflict resolution was really tricky. The conflict
    hunks generated by GIT were very unhelpful, to say the least. It
    split functions in half and moved them around, when the real actual
    conflict only existed solely inside of one function, that being
    be_map_pci_bars().

    So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top
    of net-next, then I applied the be_main.c changes from 'net' since
    the last time I merged. And this worked beautifully.

    The inet_diag.c and sysctl_net_core.c conflicts were simple
    overlapping changes, and were easily to resolve.

  • [I would really like an ACK on that one from dhowells; it appears to be
    quite straightforward, but...]

    MSG_PEEK isn't passed to ->recvmsg() via msg->msg_flags; as the matter of
    fact, neither the kernel users of rxrpc, nor the syscalls ever set that bit
    in there. It gets passed via flags; in fact, another such check in the same
    function is done correctly - as flags & MSG_PEEK.

    It had been that way (effectively disabled) for 8 years, though, so the patch
    needs beating up - that case had never been tested. If it is correct, it's
    -stable fodder.

  • After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
    implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
    structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
    Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
    implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
    networking stack.

  • Commit 3b885787ea4112 ("net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg")
    allowed receiving packet dropcount information as a socket level option.
    RXRPC sockets recvmsg function was changed to support this by calling
    sock_recv_ts_and_drops() instead of sock_recv_timestamp().

    However, protocol families wishing to receive dropcount should call
    sock_queue_rcv_skb() or set the dropcount specifically (as done
    in packet_rcv()). This was not done for rxrpc and thus this feature
    never worked on these sockets.

    Formalizing this by not calling sock_recv_ts_and_drops() in rxrpc as
    part of an effort to move skb->dropcount into skb->cb[]

  • This encapsulates all of the skb_copy_datagram_iovec() callers
    with call argument signature "skb, offset, msghdr->msg_iov, length".

    When we move to iov_iters in the networking, the iov_iter object will
    sit in the msghdr.

    Having a helper like this means there will be less places to touch
    during that transformation.

  • The UDP checksum was already verified in rxrpc_data_ready() - which calls
    skb_checksum_complete() - as the RxRPC packet header contains no checksum of
    its own. Subsequent calls to skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_iovec() are thus
    redundant and are, in any case, being passed only a subset of the UDP payload -
    so the checksum will always fail if that path is taken.

    So there is no need to check skb->ip_summed in rxrpc_recvmsg(), and no need for
    the csum_copy_error: exit path.

  • Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows

    Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
    on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames. This value was
    exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg. AFter I completed that work it was
    requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
    could make use of this option. As such I've created this patch, It creates a
    new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
    SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
    overflowed between any two given frames. It also augments the AF_PACKET
    protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
    sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count). Tested
    successfully by me.

    Notes:

    1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
    is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
    Deltas must be computed in user space.

    2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
    also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
    agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
    protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
    and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
    non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me. This also saves us having
    to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.

    3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
    977750076d98c7ff6cbda51858bb5a5894a9d9ab (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

  • Add an interface to the AF_RXRPC module so that the AFS filesystem module can
    more easily make use of the services available. AFS still opens a socket but
    then uses the action functions in lieu of sendmsg() and registers an intercept
    functions to grab messages before they're queued on the socket Rx queue.

    This permits AFS (or whatever) to:

    (1) Avoid the overhead of using the recvmsg() call.

    (2) Use different keys directly on individual client calls on one socket
    rather than having to open a whole slew of sockets, one for each key it
    might want to use.

    (3) Avoid calling request_key() at the point of issue of a call or opening of
    a socket. This is done instead by AFS at the point of open(), unlink() or
    other VFS operation and the key handed through.

    (4) Request the use of something other than GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory.

    Furthermore:

    (*) The socket buffer markings used by RxRPC are made available for AFS so
    that it can interpret the cooked RxRPC messages itself.

    (*) rxgen (un)marshalling abort codes are made available.

    The following documentation for the kernel interface is added to
    Documentation/networking/rxrpc.txt:

    =========================
    AF_RXRPC KERNEL INTERFACE
    =========================

    The AF_RXRPC module also provides an interface for use by in-kernel utilities
    such as the AFS filesystem. This permits such a utility to:

    (1) Use different keys directly on individual client calls on one socket
    rather than having to open a whole slew of sockets, one for each key it
    might want to use.

    (2) Avoid having RxRPC call request_key() at the point of issue of a call or
    opening of a socket. Instead the utility is responsible for requesting a
    key at the appropriate point. AFS, for instance, would do this during VFS
    operations such as open() or unlink(). The key is then handed through
    when the call is initiated.

    (3) Request the use of something other than GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory.

    (4) Avoid the overhead of using the recvmsg() call. RxRPC messages can be
    intercepted before they get put into the socket Rx queue and the socket
    buffers manipulated directly.

    To use the RxRPC facility, a kernel utility must still open an AF_RXRPC socket,
    bind an addess as appropriate and listen if it's to be a server socket, but
    then it passes this to the kernel interface functions.

    The kernel interface functions are as follows:

    (*) Begin a new client call.

    struct rxrpc_call *
    rxrpc_kernel_begin_call(struct socket *sock,
    struct sockaddr_rxrpc *srx,
    struct key *key,
    unsigned long user_call_ID,
    gfp_t gfp);

    This allocates the infrastructure to make a new RxRPC call and assigns
    call and connection numbers. The call will be made on the UDP port that
    the socket is bound to. The call will go to the destination address of a
    connected client socket unless an alternative is supplied (srx is
    non-NULL).

    If a key is supplied then this will be used to secure the call instead of
    the key bound to the socket with the RXRPC_SECURITY_KEY sockopt. Calls
    secured in this way will still share connections if at all possible.

    The user_call_ID is equivalent to that supplied to sendmsg() in the
    control data buffer. It is entirely feasible to use this to point to a
    kernel data structure.

    If this function is successful, an opaque reference to the RxRPC call is
    returned. The caller now holds a reference on this and it must be
    properly ended.

    (*) End a client call.

    void rxrpc_kernel_end_call(struct rxrpc_call *call);

    This is used to end a previously begun call. The user_call_ID is expunged
    from AF_RXRPC's knowledge and will not be seen again in association with
    the specified call.

    (*) Send data through a call.

    int rxrpc_kernel_send_data(struct rxrpc_call *call, struct msghdr *msg,
    size_t len);

    This is used to supply either the request part of a client call or the
    reply part of a server call. msg.msg_iovlen and msg.msg_iov specify the
    data buffers to be used. msg_iov may not be NULL and must point
    exclusively to in-kernel virtual addresses. msg.msg_flags may be given
    MSG_MORE if there will be subsequent data sends for this call.

    The msg must not specify a destination address, control data or any flags
    other than MSG_MORE. len is the total amount of data to transmit.

    (*) Abort a call.

    void rxrpc_kernel_abort_call(struct rxrpc_call *call, u32 abort_code);

    This is used to abort a call if it's still in an abortable state. The
    abort code specified will be placed in the ABORT message sent.

    (*) Intercept received RxRPC messages.

    typedef void (*rxrpc_interceptor_t)(struct sock *sk,
    unsigned long user_call_ID,
    struct sk_buff *skb);

    void
    rxrpc_kernel_intercept_rx_messages(struct socket *sock,
    rxrpc_interceptor_t interceptor);

    This installs an interceptor function on the specified AF_RXRPC socket.
    All messages that would otherwise wind up in the socket's Rx queue are
    then diverted to this function. Note that care must be taken to process
    the messages in the right order to maintain DATA message sequentiality.

    The interceptor function itself is provided with the address of the socket
    and handling the incoming message, the ID assigned by the kernel utility
    to the call and the socket buffer containing the message.

    The skb->mark field indicates the type of message:

    MARK MEANING
    =============================== =======================================
    RXRPC_SKB_MARK_DATA Data message
    RXRPC_SKB_MARK_FINAL_ACK Final ACK received for an incoming call
    RXRPC_SKB_MARK_BUSY Client call rejected as server busy
    RXRPC_SKB_MARK_REMOTE_ABORT Call aborted by peer
    RXRPC_SKB_MARK_NET_ERROR Network error detected
    RXRPC_SKB_MARK_LOCAL_ERROR Local error encountered
    RXRPC_SKB_MARK_NEW_CALL New incoming call awaiting acceptance

    The remote abort message can be probed with rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code().
    The two error messages can be probed with rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number().
    A new call can be accepted with rxrpc_kernel_accept_call().

    Data messages can have their contents extracted with the usual bunch of
    socket buffer manipulation functions. A data message can be determined to
    be the last one in a sequence with rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last(). When a
    data message has been used up, rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered() should be
    called on it..

    Non-data messages should be handled to rxrpc_kernel_free_skb() to dispose
    of. It is possible to get extra refs on all types of message for later
    freeing, but this may pin the state of a call until the message is finally
    freed.

    (*) Accept an incoming call.

    struct rxrpc_call *
    rxrpc_kernel_accept_call(struct socket *sock,
    unsigned long user_call_ID);

    This is used to accept an incoming call and to assign it a call ID. This
    function is similar to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() and calls accepted must
    be ended in the same way.

    If this function is successful, an opaque reference to the RxRPC call is
    returned. The caller now holds a reference on this and it must be
    properly ended.

    (*) Reject an incoming call.

    int rxrpc_kernel_reject_call(struct socket *sock);

    This is used to reject the first incoming call on the socket's queue with
    a BUSY message. -ENODATA is returned if there were no incoming calls.
    Other errors may be returned if the call had been aborted (-ECONNABORTED)
    or had timed out (-ETIME).

    (*) Record the delivery of a data message and free it.

    void rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered(struct sk_buff *skb);

    This is used to record a data message as having been delivered and to
    update the ACK state for the call. The socket buffer will be freed.

    (*) Free a message.

    void rxrpc_kernel_free_skb(struct sk_buff *skb);

    This is used to free a non-DATA socket buffer intercepted from an AF_RXRPC
    socket.

    (*) Determine if a data message is the last one on a call.

    bool rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last(struct sk_buff *skb);

    This is used to determine if a socket buffer holds the last data message
    to be received for a call (true will be returned if it does, false
    if not).

    The data message will be part of the reply on a client call and the
    request on an incoming call. In the latter case there will be more
    messages, but in the former case there will not.

    (*) Get the abort code from an abort message.

    u32 rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code(struct sk_buff *skb);

    This is used to extract the abort code from a remote abort message.

    (*) Get the error number from a local or network error message.

    int rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number(struct sk_buff *skb);

    This is used to extract the error number from a message indicating either
    a local error occurred or a network error occurred.
