[ Upstream commit 41b996ce83bf944de5569d6263c8dbd5513e7ed0 ]

The RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_SECURING state doesn't really belong with the other
states in the call's state set as the other states govern the call's Rx/Tx
phase transition and govern when packets can and can't be received or
transmitted.  The "Securing" state doesn't actually govern the reception of
packets and would need to be split depending on whether or not we've
received the last packet yet (to mirror RECV_REQUEST/ACK_REQUEST).

The "Securing" state is more about whether or not we can start forwarding
packets to the application as recvmsg will need to decode them and the
decoding can't take place until the challenge/response exchange has
completed.

Fix this by removing the RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_SECURING state from the state
set and, instead, using a flag, RXRPC_CALL_CONN_CHALLENGING, to track
whether or not we can queue the call for reception by recvmsg() or notify
the kernel app that data is ready.  In the event that we've already
received all the packets, the connection event handler will poke the app
layer in the appropriate manner.

Also there's a race whereby the app layer sees the last packet before rxrpc
has managed to end the rx phase and change the state to one amenable to
allowing a reply.  Fix this by queuing the packet after calling
rxrpc_end_rx_phase().

[ Upstream commit 4241a702e0d0c2ca9364cfac08dbf134264962de ]

The rxrpc_connection attend queue is never used because conn::attend_link
is never initialised and so is always NULL'd out and thus always appears to
be busy.  This requires the following fix:

 (1) Fix this the attend queue problem by initialising conn::attend_link.

And, consequently, two further fixes for things masked by the above bug:

 (2) Fix rxrpc_input_conn_event() to handle being invoked with a NULL
     sk_buff pointer - something that can now happen with the above change.

 (3) Fix the RXRPC_SKB_MARK_SERVICE_CONN_SECURED message to carry a pointer
     to the connection and a ref on it.

Fix the handling of a connection abort that we've received.  Though the
abort is at the connection level, it needs propagating to the calls on that
connection.  Whilst the propagation bit is performed, the calls aren't then
woken up to go and process their termination, and as no further input is
forthcoming, they just hang.

Also add some tracing for the logging of connection aborts.

copy_from_sockptr() does not return negative value on error; instead, it
reports the number of bytes that failed to copy. Since it's deprecated,
switch to copy_safe_from_sockptr().

Note: Keeping the `optlen != sizeof(unsigned int)` check as
copy_safe_from_sockptr() by itself would also accept
optlen &gt; sizeof(unsigned int). Which would allow a more lenient handling
of inputs.

If a call gets aborted (e.g. because kafs saw a signal) between it being
queued for connection and the I/O thread picking up the call, the abort
will be prioritised over the connection and it will be removed from
local-&gt;new_client_calls by rxrpc_disconnect_client_call() without a lock
being held.  This may cause other calls on the list to disappear if a race
occurs.

Fix this by taking the client_call_lock when removing a call from whatever
list its -&gt;wait_link happens to be on.

commit bc212465326e8587325f520a052346f0b57360e6 upstream.

In rxrpc_open_socket(), it sets up the socket and then sets up the I/O
thread that will handle it.  This is a problem, however, as there's a gap
between the two phases in which a packet may come into rxrpc_encap_rcv()
from the UDP packet but we oops when trying to wake the not-yet created I/O
thread.

As a quick fix, just make rxrpc_encap_rcv() discard the packet if there's
no I/O thread yet.

A better, but more intrusive fix would perhaps be to rearrange things such
that the socket creation is done by the I/O thread.

[ Upstream commit 012b7206918dcc5a4dcf1432b3e643114c95957e ]

Only generate one ACK packet for all the subpackets in a jumbo packet.  If
we would like to generate more than one ACK, we prioritise them base on
their reason code, in the order, highest first:

   OutOfSeq &gt; NoSpace &gt; ExceedsWin &gt; Duplicate &gt; Requested &gt; Delay &gt; Idle

For the first four, we reference the lowest offending subpacket; for the
last three, the highest.

This reduces the number of ACKs we end up transmitting to one per UDP
packet transmitted to reduce network loading and packet parsing.

<title>rxrpc: Fix congestion control algorithm</title>

[ Upstream commit ba4e103848d3a2a28a0445e39f4a9564187efe54 ]

Make the following fixes to the congestion control algorithm:

 (1) Don't vary the cwnd starting value by the size of RXRPC_TX_SMSS since
     that's currently held constant - set to the size of a jumbo subpacket
     payload so that we can create jumbo packets on the fly.  The current
     code invariably picks 3 as the starting value.

     Further, the starting cwnd needs to be an even number because we ack
     every other packet, so set it to 4.

 (2) Don't cut ssthresh when we see an ACK come from the peer with a
     receive window (rwind) less than ssthresh.  ssthresh keeps track of
     characteristics of the connection whereas rwind may be reduced by the
     peer for any reason - and may be reduced to 0.

Fixes: 0851115090a3 ("rxrpc: Reduce ssthresh to peer's receive window")
