<title>net, sunrpc: Remap EPERM in case of connection failure in xs_tcp_setup_socket</title>

<id>626dfed5fa3bfb41e0dffd796032b555b69f9cde</id>
<content type='text'>
When using a BPF program on kernel_connect(), the call can return -EPERM. This
causes xs_tcp_setup_socket() to loop forever, filling up the syslog and causing
the kernel to potentially freeze up.

Neil suggested:

  This will propagate -EPERM up into other layers which might not be ready
  to handle it. It might be safer to map EPERM to an error we would be more
  likely to expect from the network system - such as ECONNREFUSED or ENETDOWN.

ECONNREFUSED as error seems reasonable. For programs setting a different error
can be out of reach (see handling in 4fbac77d2d09) in particular on kernels
which do not have f10d05966196 ("bpf: Make BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY return -err
instead of allow boolean"), thus given that it is better to simply remap for
consistent behavior. UDP does handle EPERM in xs_udp_send_request().

I still see "RPC: Could not send backchannel reply error: -110"
quite often, along with slow-running tests. Debugging shows that the
backchannel is still stumbling when it has to queue a callback reply
on a busy transport.

Note that every one of these timeouts causes a connection loss by
virtue of the xprt_conditional_disconnect() call in that arm of
call_cb_transmit_status().

I found that setting to_maxval is necessary to get the RPC timeout
logic to behave whenever to_exponential is not set.

Under the scenario of IB device bonding, when bringing down one of the
ports, or all ports, we saw xprtrdma entering a non-recoverable state
where it is not even possible to complete the disconnect and shut it
down the mount, requiring a reboot. Following debug, we saw that
transport connect never ended after receiving the
RDMA_CM_EVENT_DEVICE_REMOVAL callback.

The DEVICE_REMOVAL callback is irrespective of whether the CM_ID is
connected, and ESTABLISHED may not have happened. So need to work with
each of these states accordingly.

It used to be quite awhile ago since 1b63a75180c6 ('SUNRPC: Refactor
rpc_clone_client()'), in 2012, that `cl_timeout` was copied in so that
all mount parameters propagate to NFSACL clients. However since that
change, if mount options as follows are given:

    soft,timeo=50,retrans=16,vers=3

The resultant NFSACL client receives:

    cl_softrtry: 1
    cl_timeout: to_initval=60000, to_maxval=60000, to_increment=0, to_retries=2, to_exponential=0

These values lead to NFSACL operations not being retried under the
condition of transient network outages with soft mount. Instead, getacl
call fails after 60 seconds with EIO.

The simple fix is to pass the existing client's `cl_timeout` as the new
client timeout.

It used to be quite awhile ago since 1b63a75180c6 ('SUNRPC: Refactor
rpc_clone_client()'), in 2012, that `cl_timeout` was copied in so that
all mount parameters propagate to NFSACL clients. However since that
change, if mount options as follows are given:

    soft,timeo=50,retrans=16,vers=3

The resultant NFSACL client receives:

    cl_softrtry: 1
    cl_timeout: to_initval=60000, to_maxval=60000, to_increment=0, to_retries=2, to_exponential=0

These values lead to NFSACL operations not being retried under the
condition of transient network outages with soft mount. Instead, getacl
call fails after 60 seconds with EIO.

The simple fix is to pass the existing client's `cl_timeout` as the new
client timeout.

<title>SUNRPC: fix handling expired GSS context</title>

In the case where we have received a successful reply to an RPC request,
but while processing the reply the client in rpc_decode_header() finds
an expired context, the code ends up propagating the error to the caller
instead of getting a new context and retrying the request.

To give more details, in rpc_decode_header() we call rpcauth_checkverf()
will call into the gss and internally will at some point call
gss_validate() which has a check if the current’s context lifetime
expired, and it would fail. The reason for the failure gets ‘scrubbed’
and translated to EACCES so when we get back to rpc_decode_header() we
just go to “out_verifier” which for that error would get converted to
“out_garbage” (ie it’s treated as garballed reply) and the next
action is call_encode. Which (1) doesn’t reencode or re-send (not to
mention no upcall happens because context expires as that reason just
not known) and it again fails in the same decoding process. After
re-trying it 3 times the error is propagated back to the caller
(ie nfs4_write_done_cb() in the case a failing write).

To fix this, instead we need to look to the case where the server
decides that context has expired and replies with an RPC auth error.
In that case, the rpc_decode_header() goes to "out_msg_denied" in that
we return EKEYREJECTED which in call_decode() is sent to “call_reserve”
which triggers an upcalls and a re-try of the operation.

The proposed fix is in case of a failed rpc_decode_header() to check
if credentials were set to be invalid and use that as a proxy for
deciding that context has expired and then treat is same way as
receiving an auth error.
