commit 41b70df5b38bc80967d2e0ed55cc3c3896bba781 upstream.

Ring provided buffers are potentially only valid within the single
execution context in which they were acquired. io_uring deals with this
and invalidates them on retry. But on the networking side, if
MSG_WAITALL is set, or if the socket is of the streaming type and too
little was processed, then it will hang on to the buffer rather than
recycle or commit it. This is problematic for two reasons:

1) If someone unregisters the provided buffer ring before a later retry,
   then the req-&gt;buf_list will no longer be valid.

2) If multiple sockers are using the same buffer group, then multiple
   receives can consume the same memory. This can cause data corruption
   in the application, as either receive could land in the same
   userspace buffer.

Fix this by disallowing partial retries from pinning a provided buffer
across multiple executions, if ring provided buffers are used.

8c8492ca64e7 ("io_uring/net: don't retry connect operation on EPOLLERR")
is a little dirty hack that
1) wrongfully assumes that POLLERR equals to a failed request, which
breaks all POLLERR users, e.g. all error queue recv interfaces.
2) deviates the connection request behaviour from connect(2), and
3) racy and solved at a wrong level.

Nothing can be done with 2) now, and 3) is beyond the scope of the
patch. At least solve 1) by moving the hack out of generic poll handling
into io_connect().

A previous commit aborted mapping more for a non-incremental ring for
bundle peeking, but depending on where in the process this peeking
happened, it would not necessarily prevent a retry by the user. That can
create gaps in the received/read data.

Add struct buf_sel_arg-&gt;partial_map, which can pass this information
back. The networking side can then map that to internal state and use it
to gate retry as well.

Since this necessitates a new flag, change io_sr_msg-&gt;retry to a
retry_flags member, and store both the retry and partial map condition
in there.

A bigger array of vecs could've been allocated, but
io_ring_buffers_peek() still decided to cap the mapped range depending
on how much data was available. Hence don't rely on the segment count
to know if the request should be marked as needing cleanup, always
check upfront if the iov array is different than the fast_iov array.

<title>io_uring/net: always use current transfer count for buffer put</title>

<content type='text'>
A previous fix corrected the retry condition for when to continue a
current bundle, but it missed that the current (not the total) transfer
count also applies to the buffer put. If not, then for incrementally
consumed buffer rings repeated completions on the same request may end
up over consuming.

<title>io_uring/net: only consider msg_inq if larger than 1</title>

Currently retry and general validity of msg_inq is gated on it being
larger than zero, but it's entirely possible for this to be slightly
inaccurate. In particular, if FIN is received, it'll return 1.

Just use larger than 1 as the check. This covers both the FIN case, and
at the same time, it doesn't make much sense to retry a recv immediately
if there's even just a single 1 byte of valid data in the socket.

Leave the SOCK_NONEMPTY flagging when larger than 0 still, as an app may
use that for the final receive.

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Avoid indirect function calls in io-wq for executing and freeing
   work.

   The design of io-wq is such that it can be a generic mechanism, but
   as it's just used by io_uring now, may as well avoid these indirect
   calls

 - Clean up registered buffers for networking

 - Add support for IORING_OP_PIPE. Pretty straight forward, allows
   creating pipes with io_uring, particularly useful for having these be
   instantiated as direct descriptors

 - Clean up the coalescing support fore registered buffers

 - Add support for multiple interface queues for zero-copy rx
   networking. As this feature was merged for 6.15 it supported just a
   single ifq per ring

 - Clean up the eventfd support

 - Add dma-buf support to zero-copy rx

 - Clean up and improving the request draining support

 - Clean up provided buffer support, most notably with an eye toward
   making the legacy support less intrusive

 - Minor fdinfo cleanups, dropping support for dumping what credentials
   are registered

 - Improve support for overflow CQE handling, getting rid of GFP_ATOMIC
   for allocating overflow entries where possible

 - Improve detection of cases where io-wq doesn't need to spawn a new
   worker unnecessarily

 - Various little cleanups

If a shorter than assumed transfer was seen, a partial buffer will have
been filled. For that case it isn't sane to attempt to fill more into
the bundle before posting a completion, as that will cause a gap in
the received data.

Check if the iterator has hit zero and only allow to continue a bundle
operation if that is the case.

Also ensure that for putting finished buffers, only the current transfer
is accounted. Otherwise too many buffers may be put for a short transfer.

IOU_COMPLETE is more descriptive, in that it explicitly says that the
return value means "please post a completion for this request". This
patch completes the transition from IOU_OK to IOU_COMPLETE, replacing
existing IOU_OK users.

This is a purely mechanical change.
