commit cf960726eb65e8d0bfecbcce6cf95f47b1ffa6cc upstream.

This isn't fixing a real issue, but there's also zero point in going
through group and buffer setup, when the buffers are going to be
rejected once attempted to get used.

commit 6889ae1b4df1579bcdffef023e2ea9a982565dff upstream.

As the comment states, io_req_post_cqe() should only be used by
multishot requests, i.e. REQ_F_APOLL_MULTISHOT, which bundled sends are
not. Add a flag signifying whether a request wants to post multiple
CQEs. Eventually REQ_F_APOLL_MULTISHOT should imply the new flag, but
that's left out for simplicity.

commit f6a89bf5278d6e15016a736db67043560d1b50d5 upstream.

REQ_F_APOLL_MULTISHOT doesn't guarantee it's executed from the multishot
context, so a multishot accept may get executed inline, fail
io_req_post_cqe(), and ask the core code to kill the request with
-ECANCELED by returning IOU_STOP_MULTISHOT even when a socket has been
accepted and installed.

[ Upstream commit 8e3100fcc5cbba03518b8b5c059624aba5c29d50 ]

io_send_zc() guards its call to io_send_zc_import() with if (!done_io)
in an attempt to avoid calling it redundantly on the same req. However,
if the initial non-blocking issue returns -EAGAIN, done_io will stay 0.
This causes the subsequent issue to unnecessarily re-import the buffer.

Add an explicit flag "imported" to io_sr_msg to track if its buffer has
already been imported. Clear the flag in io_send_zc_prep(). Call
io_send_zc_import() and set the flag in io_send_zc() if it is unset.

<title>io_uring/net: improve recv bundles</title>

[ Upstream commit 7c71a0af81ba72de9b2c501065e4e718aba9a271 ]

Current recv bundles are only supported for multishot receives, and
additionally they also always post at least 2 CQEs if more data is
available than what a buffer will hold. This happens because the initial
bundle recv will do a single buffer, and then do the rest of what is in
the socket as a followup receive. As shown in a test program, if 1k
buffers are available and 32k is available to receive in the socket,
you'd get the following completions:

bundle=1, mshot=0
cqe res 1024
cqe res 1024
[...]
cqe res 1024

bundle=1, mshot=1
cqe res 1024
cqe res 31744

where bundle=1 &amp;&amp; mshot=0 will post 32 1k completions, and bundle=1 &amp;&amp;
mshot=1 will post a 1k completion and then a 31k completion.

To support bundle recv without multishot, it's possible to simply retry
the recv immediately and post a single completion, rather than split it
into two completions. With the below patch, the same test looks as
follows:

bundle=1, mshot=0
cqe res 32768

bundle=1, mshot=1
cqe res 32768

where mshot=0 works fine for bundles, and both of them post just a
single 32k completion rather than split it into separate completions.
Posting fewer completions is always a nice win, and not needing
multishot for proper bundle efficiency is nice for cases that can't
necessarily use multishot.

REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP, so after the following snippet the request will
never hit the core io_uring cleanup path.

io_notif_flush();
io_req_msg_cleanup();

The easiest fix is to null the notification. io_send_zc_cleanup() can
still be called after, but it's tolerated.

commit cc34d8330e036b6bffa88db9ea537bae6b03948f upstream.

io_req_msg_cleanup() relies on the fact that io_netmsg_recycle() will
always fully recycle, but that may not be the case if the msg cache
was already full. To ensure that normal cleanup always gets run,
let io_netmsg_recycle() deal with clearing the relevant cleanup flags,
as it knows exactly when that should be done.

commit cc34d8330e036b6bffa88db9ea537bae6b03948f upstream.

io_req_msg_cleanup() relies on the fact that io_netmsg_recycle() will
always fully recycle, but that may not be the case if the msg cache
was already full. To ensure that normal cleanup always gets run,
let io_netmsg_recycle() deal with clearing the relevant cleanup flags,
as it knows exactly when that should be done.

[ Upstream commit 13918315c5dc5a515926c8799042ea6885c2b734 ]

When io_uring submission goes async for the first time on a given task,
we'll try to create a worker thread to handle the submission. Creating
this worker thread can fail due to various transient conditions, such as
an outstanding signal in the forking thread, so we have retry logic with
a limit of 3 retries. However, this retry logic appears to be too
aggressive/fast - we've observed a thread blowing through the retry
limit while having the same outstanding signal the whole time. Here's an
excerpt of some tracing that demonstrates the issue:

First, signal 26 is generated for the process. It ends up getting routed
to thread 92942.

 0)   cbd-92284    /* signal_generate: sig=26 errno=0 code=-2 comm=psblkdASD pid=92934 grp=1 res=0 */

This causes create_io_thread in the signalled thread to fail with
ERESTARTNOINTR, and thus a retry is queued.

13) task_th-92942  /* io_uring_queue_async_work: ring 000000007325c9ae, request 0000000080c96d8e, user_data 0x0, opcode URING_CMD, flags 0x8240001, normal queue, work 000000006e96dd3f */
13) task_th-92942  io_wq_enqueue() {
13) task_th-92942    _raw_spin_lock();
13) task_th-92942    io_wq_activate_free_worker();
13) task_th-92942    _raw_spin_lock();
13) task_th-92942    create_io_worker() {
13) task_th-92942      __kmalloc_cache_noprof();
13) task_th-92942      __init_swait_queue_head();
13) task_th-92942      kprobe_ftrace_handler() {
13) task_th-92942        get_kprobe();
13) task_th-92942        aggr_pre_handler() {
13) task_th-92942          pre_handler_kretprobe();
13) task_th-92942          /* create_enter: (create_io_thread+0x0/0x50) fn=0xffffffff8172c0e0 arg=0xffff888996bb69c0 node=-1 */
13) task_th-92942        } /* aggr_pre_handler */
...
13) task_th-92942        } /* copy_process */
13) task_th-92942      } /* create_io_thread */
13) task_th-92942      kretprobe_rethook_handler() {
13) task_th-92942        /* create_exit: (create_io_worker+0x8a/0x1a0 &lt;- create_io_thread) arg1=0xfffffffffffffdff */
13) task_th-92942      } /* kretprobe_rethook_handler */
13) task_th-92942    queue_work_on() {
...

The CPU is then handed to a kworker to process the queued retry:

------------------------------------------
 13) task_th-92942  =&gt; kworker-54154
------------------------------------------
13) kworker-54154  io_workqueue_create() {
13) kworker-54154    io_queue_worker_create() {
13) kworker-54154      task_work_add() {
13) kworker-54154        wake_up_state() {
13) kworker-54154          try_to_wake_up() {
13) kworker-54154            _raw_spin_lock_irqsave();
13) kworker-54154            _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore();
13) kworker-54154          } /* try_to_wake_up */
13) kworker-54154        } /* wake_up_state */
13) kworker-54154        kick_process();
13) kworker-54154      } /* task_work_add */
13) kworker-54154    } /* io_queue_worker_create */
13) kworker-54154  } /* io_workqueue_create */

And then we immediately switch back to the original task to try creating
a worker again. This fails, because the original task still hasn't
handled its signal.

-----------------------------------------
 13) kworker-54154  =&gt; task_th-92942
------------------------------------------
13) task_th-92942  create_worker_cont() {
13) task_th-92942    kprobe_ftrace_handler() {
13) task_th-92942      get_kprobe();
13) task_th-92942      aggr_pre_handler() {
13) task_th-92942        pre_handler_kretprobe();
13) task_th-92942        /* create_enter: (create_io_thread+0x0/0x50) fn=0xffffffff8172c0e0 arg=0xffff888996bb69c0 node=-1 */
13) task_th-92942      } /* aggr_pre_handler */
13) task_th-92942    } /* kprobe_ftrace_handler */
13) task_th-92942    create_io_thread() {
13) task_th-92942      copy_process() {
13) task_th-92942        task_active_pid_ns();
13) task_th-92942        _raw_spin_lock_irq();
13) task_th-92942        recalc_sigpending();
13) task_th-92942        _raw_spin_lock_irq();
13) task_th-92942      } /* copy_process */
13) task_th-92942    } /* create_io_thread */
13) task_th-92942    kretprobe_rethook_handler() {
13) task_th-92942      /* create_exit: (create_worker_cont+0x35/0x1b0 &lt;- create_io_thread) arg1=0xfffffffffffffdff */
13) task_th-92942    } /* kretprobe_rethook_handler */
13) task_th-92942    io_worker_release();
13) task_th-92942    queue_work_on() {
13) task_th-92942      clear_pending_if_disabled();
13) task_th-92942      __queue_work() {
13) task_th-92942      } /* __queue_work */
13) task_th-92942    } /* queue_work_on */
13) task_th-92942  } /* create_worker_cont */

The pattern repeats another couple times until we blow through the retry
counter, at which point we give up. All outstanding work is canceled,
and the io_uring command which triggered all this is failed with
ECANCELED:

13) task_th-92942  io_acct_cancel_pending_work() {
...
13) task_th-92942  /* io_uring_complete: ring 000000007325c9ae, req 0000000080c96d8e, user_data 0x0, result -125, cflags 0x0 extra1 0 extra2 0  */

Finally, the task gets around to processing its outstanding signal 26,
but it's too late.

13) task_th-92942  /* signal_deliver: sig=26 errno=0 code=-2 sa_handler=59566a0 sa_flags=14000000 */

Try to address this issue by adding a small scaling delay when retrying
worker creation. This should give the forking thread time to handle its
signal in the above case. This isn't a particularly satisfying solution,
as sufficiently paradoxical scheduling would still have us hitting the
same issue, and I'm open to suggestions for something better. But this
is likely to prevent this (already rare) issue from hitting in practice.

[ Upstream commit 5e0e02f0d7e52cfc8b1adfc778dd02181d8b47b4 ]

futex_queue() -&gt; __futex_queue() uses 'current' as the task to store in
the struct futex_q-&gt;task field. This is fine for synchronous usage of
the futex infrastructure, but it's not always correct when used by
io_uring where the task doing the initial futex_queue() might not be
available later on. This doesn't lead to any issues currently, as the
io_uring side doesn't support PI futexes, but it does leave a
potentially dangling pointer which is never a good idea.

Have futex_queue() take a task_struct argument, and have the regular
callers pass in 'current' for that. Meanwhile io_uring can just pass in
NULL, as the task should never be used off that path. In theory
req-&gt;tctx-&gt;task could be used here, but there's no point populating it
with a task field that will never be used anyway.
