commit 9adc89af724f12a03b47099cd943ed54e877cd59 upstream.

Currently the mentioned helper can end-up freeing the socket wmem
without waking-up any processes waiting for more write memory.

If the partially orphaned skb is attached to an UDP (or raw) socket,
the lack of wake-up can hang the user-space.

Even for TCP sockets not calling the sk destructor could have bad
effects on TSQ.

Address the issue using skb_orphan to release the sk wmem before
setting the new sock_efree destructor. Additionally bundle the
whole ownership update in a new helper, so that later other
potential users could avoid duplicate code.

v1 -&gt; v2:
 - use skb_orphan() instead of sort of open coding it (Eric)
 - provide an helper for the ownership change (Eric)

<title>tcp: fix TCP socket rehash stats mis-accounting</title>

<id>9c30ae8398b0813e237bde387d67a7f74ab2db2d</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous commit 32efcc06d2a1 ("tcp: export count for rehash attempts")
would mis-account rehashing SNMP and socket stats:

  a. During handshake of an active open, only counts the first
     SYN timeout

  b. After handshake of passive and active open, stop updating
     after (roughly) TCP_RETRIES1 recurring RTOs

  c. After the socket aborts, over count timeout_rehash by 1

This patch fixes this by checking the rehash result from sk_rethink_txhash.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - support "prefer busy polling" NAPI operation mode, where we defer
     softirq for some time expecting applications to periodically busy
     poll

   - AF_XDP: improve efficiency by more batching and hindering the
     adjacency cache prefetcher

   - af_packet: make packet_fanout.arr size configurable up to 64K

   - tcp: optimize TCP zero copy receive in presence of partial or
     unaligned reads making zero copy a performance win for much smaller
     messages

   - BPF switch from crude rlimit-based to memcg-based memory accounting

   - BPF type format information for kernel modules and related tracing
     enhancements

   - BPF implement task local storage for BPF LSM

     APIs and have the drivers write a full IRQ handler, slight growth
     of driver code should be compensated by the simpler API which also
     allows shared IRQs

   - add common code for handling netdev per-cpu counters

   - move TX packet re-allocation from Ethernet switch tag drivers to a
     central place

   - improve efficiency and rename nla_strlcpy

The existing busy-polling mode, enabled by the SO_BUSY_POLL socket
option or system-wide using the /proc/sys/net/core/busy_read knob, is
an opportunistic. That means that if the NAPI context is not
scheduled, it will poll it. If, after busy-polling, the budget is
exceeded the busy-polling logic will schedule the NAPI onto the
regular softirq handling.

One implication of the behavior above is that a busy/heavy loaded NAPI
context will never enter/allow for busy-polling. Some applications
prefer that most NAPI processing would be done by busy-polling.

This series adds a new socket option, SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL, that works
in concert with the napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout
knobs. The napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout knobs were
introduced in commit 6f8b12d661d0 ("net: napi: add hard irqs deferral
feature"), and allows for a user to defer interrupts to be enabled and
instead schedule the NAPI context from a watchdog timer. When a user
enables the SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL, again with the other knobs enabled,
and the NAPI context is being processed by a softirq, the softirq NAPI
processing will exit early to allow the busy-polling to be performed.

If the application stops performing busy-polling via a system call,
the watchdog timer defined by gro_flush_timeout will timeout, and
regular softirq handling will resume.

In summary; Heavy traffic applications that prefer busy-polling over
softirq processing should use this option.

Example usage:

  $ echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/class/net/ens785f1/napi_defer_hard_irqs
  $ echo 200000 | sudo tee /sys/class/net/ens785f1/gro_flush_timeout

Note that the timeout should be larger than the userspace processing
window, otherwise the watchdog will timeout and fall back to regular
softirq processing.

Enable the SO_BUSY_POLL/SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL options on your socket.

Fix build of net/core/stream.o when CONFIG_INET is not enabled.
Fixes these build errors (sample):

ld: net/core/stream.o: in function `sk_stream_write_space':
(.text+0x27e): undefined reference to `tcp_stream_memory_free'
ld: (.text+0x29c): undefined reference to `tcp_stream_memory_free'
ld: (.text+0x2ab): undefined reference to `tcp_stream_memory_free'
ld: net/core/stream.o: in function `sk_stream_wait_memory':
(.text+0x5a1): undefined reference to `tcp_stream_memory_free'
ld: (.text+0x5bf): undefined reference to `tcp_stream_memory_free'

Fixes: 1c5f2ced136a ("tcp: avoid indirect call to tcp_stream_memory_free()")

<title>net: add annotation for sock_{lock,unlock}_fast</title>

The static checker is fooled by the non-static locking scheme
implemented by the mentioned helpers.
Let's make its life easier adding some unconditional annotation
so that the helpers are now interpreted as a plain spinlock from
sparse.

v1 -&gt; v2:
 - add __releases() annotation to unlock_sock_fast()
