[ Upstream commit c56cae23c6b167acc68043c683c4573b80cbcc2c ]

When splitting a GSO segment that consists of encapsulated packets, the
skb-&gt;mac_len of the segments can end up being set wrong, causing packet
drops in particular when using act_mirred and ifb interfaces in
combination with a qdisc that splits GSO packets.

This happens because at the time skb_segment() is called, network_header
will point to the inner header, throwing off the calculation in
skb_reset_mac_len(). The network_header is subsequently adjust by the
outer IP gso_segment handlers, but they don't set the mac_len.

Fix this by adding skb_reset_mac_len() calls to both the IPv4 and IPv6
gso_segment handlers, after they modify the network_header.

Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for his help in identifying the cause of
the bug.

<title>Revert changes to convert to -&gt;poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL</title>

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained.  They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"-&gt;poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.

Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"-&gt;get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead.  That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case.  The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

[ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
  individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy  - Linus ]

When adding tcp mmap() implementation, I forgot that socket lock
had to be taken before current-&gt;mm-&gt;mmap_sem. syzbot eventually caught
the bug.

Since we can not lock the socket in tcp mmap() handler we have to
split the operation in two phases.

1) mmap() on a tcp socket simply reserves VMA space, and nothing else.
  This operation does not involve any TCP locking.

2) getsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE, ...) implements
 the transfert of pages from skbs to one VMA.
  This operation only uses down_read(&amp;current-&gt;mm-&gt;mmap_sem) after
  holding TCP lock, thus solving the lockdep issue.

This new implementation was suggested by Andy Lutomirski with great details.

Benefits are :

- Better scalability, in case multiple threads reuse VMAS
   (without mmap()/munmap() calls) since mmap_sem wont be write locked.

- Better error recovery.
   The previous mmap() model had to provide the expected size of the
   mapping. If for some reason one part could not be mapped (partial MSS),
   the whole operation had to be aborted.
   With the tcp_zerocopy_receive struct, kernel can report how
   many bytes were successfuly mapped, and how many bytes should
   be read to skip the problematic sequence.

- No more memory allocation to hold an array of page pointers.
  16 MB mappings needed 32 KB for this array, potentially using vmalloc() :/

- skbs are freed while mmap_sem has been released

Following patch makes the change in tcp_mmap tool to demonstrate
one possible use of mmap() and setsockopt(... TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE ...)

Note that memcg might require additional changes.

Some networks can make sure TCP payload can exactly fit 4KB pages,
with well chosen MSS/MTU and architectures.

Implement mmap() system call so that applications can avoid
copying data without complex splice() games.

Note that a successful mmap( X bytes) on TCP socket is consuming
bytes, as if recvmsg() has been done. (tp-&gt;copied += X)

Only PROT_READ mappings are accepted, as skb page frags
are fundamentally shared and read only.

If tcp_mmap() finds data that is not a full page, or a patch of
urgent data, -EINVAL is returned, no bytes are consumed.

Application must fallback to recvmsg() to read the problematic sequence.

mmap() wont block,  regardless of socket being in blocking or
non-blocking mode. If not enough bytes are in receive queue,
mmap() would return -EAGAIN, or -EIO if socket is in a state
where no other bytes can be added into receive queue.

An application might use SO_RCVLOWAT, poll() and/or ioctl( FIONREAD)
to efficiently use mmap()

On the sender side, MSG_EOR might help to clearly separate unaligned
headers and 4K-aligned chunks if necessary.

Tested:

Some networks can make sure TCP payload can exactly fit 4KB pages,
with well chosen MSS/MTU and architectures.

Implement mmap() system call so that applications can avoid
copying data without complex splice() games.

Note that a successful mmap( X bytes) on TCP socket is consuming
bytes, as if recvmsg() has been done. (tp-&gt;copied += X)

Only PROT_READ mappings are accepted, as skb page frags
are fundamentally shared and read only.

If tcp_mmap() finds data that is not a full page, or a patch of
urgent data, -EINVAL is returned, no bytes are consumed.

Application must fallback to recvmsg() to read the problematic sequence.

mmap() wont block,  regardless of socket being in blocking or
non-blocking mode. If not enough bytes are in receive queue,
mmap() would return -EAGAIN, or -EIO if socket is in a state
where no other bytes can be added into receive queue.

An application might use SO_RCVLOWAT, poll() and/or ioctl( FIONREAD)
to efficiently use mmap()

On the sender side, MSG_EOR might help to clearly separate unaligned
headers and 4K-aligned chunks if necessary.

Tested:

mlx4 (cx-3) 40Gbit NIC, with tcp_mmap program provided in following patch.
MTU set to 4168  (4096 TCP payload, 40 bytes IPv6 header, 32 bytes TCP header)

Applications might use SO_RCVLOWAT on TCP socket hoping to receive
one [E]POLLIN event only when a given amount of bytes are ready in socket
receive queue.

Problem is that receive autotuning is not aware of this constraint,
meaning sk_rcvbuf might be too small to allow all bytes to be stored.

Add a new (struct proto_ops)-&gt;set_rcvlowat method so that a protocol
can override the default setsockopt(SO_RCVLOWAT) behavior.

pull-request: bpf-next 2018-03-31

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Add raw BPF tracepoint API in order to have a BPF program type that
   can access kernel internal arguments of the tracepoints in their
   raw form similar to kprobes based BPF programs. This infrastructure
   also adds a new BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN command to BPF syscall which
   returns an anon-inode backed fd for the tracepoint object that allows
   for automatic detach of the BPF program resp. unregistering of the
   tracepoint probe on fd release, from Alexei.

2) Add new BPF cgroup hooks at bind() and connect() entry in order to
   allow BPF programs to reject, inspect or modify user space passed
   struct sockaddr, and as well a hook at post bind time once the port
   has been allocated. They are used in FB's container management engine
   for implementing policy, replacing fragile LD_PRELOAD wrapper
   intercepting bind() and connect() calls that only works in limited
   scenarios like glibc based apps but not for other runtimes in
   containerized applications, from Andrey.

3) BPF_F_INGRESS flag support has been added to sockmap programs for
   their redirect helper call bringing it in line with cls_bpf based
   programs. Support is added for both variants of sockmap programs,
   meaning for tx ULP hooks as well as recv skb hooks, from John.

4) Various improvements on BPF side for the nfp driver, besides others
   this work adds BPF map update and delete helper call support from
   the datapath, JITing of 32 and 64 bit XADD instructions as well as
   offload support of bpf_get_prandom_u32() call. Initial implementation
   of nfp packet cache has been tackled that optimizes memory access
   (see merge commit for further details), from Jakub and Jiong.

5) Removal of struct bpf_verifier_env argument from the print_bpf_insn()
   API has been done in order to prepare to use print_bpf_insn() soon
   out of perf tool directly. This makes the print_bpf_insn() API more
   generic and pushes the env into private data. bpftool is adjusted
   as well with the print_bpf_insn() argument removal, from Jiri.

6) Couple of cleanups and prep work for the upcoming BTF (BPF Type
   Format). The latter will reuse the current BPF verifier log as
   well, thus bpf_verifier_log() is further generalized, from Martin.

7) For bpf_getsockopt() and bpf_setsockopt() helpers, IPv4 IP_TOS read
   and write support has been added in similar fashion to existing
   IPv6 IPV6_TCLASS socket option we already have, from Nikita.

8) Fixes in recent sockmap scatterlist API usage, which did not use
   sg_init_table() for initialization thus triggering a BUG_ON() in
   scatterlist API when CONFIG_DEBUG_SG was enabled. This adds and
   uses a small helper sg_init_marker() to properly handle the affected
   cases, from Prashant.

9) Let the BPF core follow IDR code convention and therefore use the
   idr_preload() and idr_preload_end() helpers, which would also help
   idr_alloc_cyclic() under GFP_ATOMIC to better succeed under memory
   pressure, from Shaohua.

10) Last but not least, a spelling fix in an error message for the
    BPF cookie UID helper under BPF sample code, from Colin.

<title>bpf: Post-hooks for sys_bind</title>

"Post-hooks" are hooks that are called right before returning from
sys_bind. At this time IP and port are already allocated and no further
changes to `struct sock` can happen before returning from sys_bind but
BPF program has a chance to inspect the socket and change sys_bind
result.

Specifically it can e.g. inspect what port was allocated and if it
doesn't satisfy some policy, BPF program can force sys_bind to fail and
return EPERM to user.

Another example of usage is recording the IP:port pair to some map to
use it in later calls to sys_connect. E.g. if some TCP server inside
cgroup was bound to some IP:port_n, it can be recorded to a map. And
later when some TCP client inside same cgroup is trying to connect to
127.0.0.1:port_n, BPF hook for sys_connect can override the destination
and connect application to IP:port_n instead of 127.0.0.1:port_n. That
helps forcing all applications inside a cgroup to use desired IP and not
break those applications if they e.g. use localhost to communicate
between each other.

== Implementation details ==

Post-hooks are implemented as two new attach types
`BPF_CGROUP_INET4_POST_BIND` and `BPF_CGROUP_INET6_POST_BIND` for
existing prog type `BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK`.

Separate attach types for IPv4 and IPv6 are introduced to avoid access
to IPv6 field in `struct sock` from `inet_bind()` and to IPv4 field from
`inet6_bind()` since those fields might not make sense in such cases.
