tipc: enforce valid ratio between skb truesize and contents

2017-11-16T01:49:00+00:00

The socket level flow control is based on the assumption that incoming
buffers meet the condition (skb->truesize / roundup(skb->len) <= 4),
where the latter value is rounded off upwards to the nearest 1k number.
This does empirically hold true for the device drivers we know, but we
cannot trust that it will always be so, e.g., in a system with jumbo
frames and very small packets.

We now introduce a check for this condition at packet arrival, and if
we find it to be false, we copy the packet to a new, smaller buffer,
where the condition will be true. We expect this to affect only a small
fraction of all incoming packets, if at all.

tipc: refactor function filter_rcv()

2017-10-13T15:46:00+00:00

In the following commits we will need to handle multiple incoming and
rejected/returned buffers in the function socket.c::filter_rcv().
As a preparation for this, we generalize the function by handling
buffer queues instead of individual buffers. We also introduce a
help function tipc_skb_reject(), and rename filter_rcv() to
tipc_sk_filter_rcv() in line with other functions in socket.c.

tipc: Unclone message at secondary destination lookup

2017-10-09T04:13:23+00:00

When a bundling message is received, the function tipc_link_input()
calls function tipc_msg_extract() to unbundle all inner messages of
the bundling message before adding them to input queue.

The function tipc_msg_extract() just clones all inner skb for all
inner messagges from the bundling skb. This means that the skb
headroom of an inner message overlaps with the data part of the
preceding message in the bundle.

If the message in question is a name addressed message, it may be
subject to a secondary destination lookup, and eventually be sent out
on one of the interfaces again. But, since what is perceived as headroom
by the device driver in reality is the last bytes of the preceding
message in the bundle, the latter will be overwritten by the MAC
addresses of the L2 header. If the preceding message has not yet been
consumed by the user, it will evenually be delivered with corrupted
contents.

This commit fixes this by uncloning all messages passing through the
function tipc_msg_lookup_dest(), hence ensuring that the headroom
is always valid when the message is passed on.

tipc: use only positive error codes in messages

2017-10-01T03:03:35+00:00

In commit e3a77561e7d32 ("tipc: split up function tipc_msg_eval()"),
we have updated the function tipc_msg_lookup_dest() to set the error
codes to negative values at destination lookup failures. Thus when
the function sets the error code to -TIPC_ERR_NO_NAME, its inserted
into the 4 bit error field of the message header as 0xf instead of
TIPC_ERR_NO_NAME (1). The value 0xf is an unknown error code.

In this commit, we set only positive error code.

tipc: reassign pointers after skb reallocation / linearization

2017-08-25T04:54:34+00:00

In tipc_msg_reverse(), we assign skb attributes to local pointers
in stack at startup. This is followed by skb_linearize() and for
cloned buffers we perform skb relocation using pskb_expand_head().
Both these methods may update the skb attributes and thus making
the pointers incorrect.

In this commit, we fix this error by ensuring that the pointers
are re-assigned after any of these skb operations.

tipc: avoid inheriting msg_non_seq flag when message is returned

2017-08-14T18:20:36+00:00

In the function msg_reverse(), we reverse the header while trying to
reuse the original buffer whenever possible. Those rejected/returned
messages are always transmitted as unicast, but the msg_non_seq field
is not explicitly set to zero as it should be.

We have seen cases where multicast senders set the message type to
"NOT dest_droppable", meaning that a multicast message shorter than
one MTU will be returned, e.g., during receive buffer overflow, by
reusing the original buffer. This has the effect that even the
'msg_non_seq' field is inadvertently inherited by the rejected message,
although it is now sent as a unicast message. This again leads the
receiving unicast link endpoint to steer the packet toward the broadcast
link receive function, where it is dropped. The affected unicast link is
thereafter (after 100 failed retransmissions) declared 'stale' and
reset.

We fix this by unconditionally setting the 'msg_non_seq' flag to zero
for all rejected/returned messages.

net: tipc: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug in tipc_msg_reverse

2017-06-10T22:20:38+00:00

The kernel may sleep under a rcu read lock in tipc_msg_reverse, and the
function call path is:
tipc_l2_rcv_msg (acquire the lock by rcu_read_lock)
  tipc_rcv
    tipc_sk_rcv
      tipc_msg_reverse
        pskb_expand_head(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep
tipc_node_broadcast
  tipc_node_xmit_skb
    tipc_node_xmit
      tipc_sk_rcv
        tipc_msg_reverse
          pskb_expand_head(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

To fix it, "GFP_KERNEL" is replaced with "GFP_ATOMIC".

tipc: introduce replicast as transport option for multicast

2017-01-20T17:10:17+00:00

TIPC multicast messages are currently carried over a reliable
'broadcast link', making use of the underlying media's ability to
transport packets as L2 broadcast or IP multicast to all nodes in
the cluster.

When the used bearer is lacking that ability, we can instead emulate
the broadcast service by replicating and sending the packets over as
many unicast links as needed to reach all identified destinations.
We now introduce a new TIPC link-level 'replicast' service that does
this.

tipc: allocate user memory with GFP_KERNEL flag

2017-01-16T18:31:53+00:00

Until now, we allocate memory always with GFP_ATOMIC flag.
When the system is under memory pressure and a user tries to send,
the send fails due to low memory. However, the user application
can wait for free memory if we allocate it using GFP_KERNEL flag.

In this commit, we use allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL for all user
allocation.

[iov_iter] new primitives - copy_from_iter_full() and friends

2016-12-05T19:33:36+00:00

copy_from_iter_full(), copy_from_iter_full_nocache() and
csum_and_copy_from_iter_full() - counterparts of copy_from_iter()
et.al., advancing iterator only in case of successful full copy
and returning whether it had been successful or not.

Convert some obvious users.  *NOTE* - do not blindly assume that
something is a good candidate for those unless you are sure that
not advancing iov_iter in failure case is the right thing in
this case.  Anything that does short read/short write kind of
stuff (or is in a loop, etc.) is unlikely to be a good one.
