skbuff: in skb_copy_ubufs unclone before releasing zerocopy

2017-12-28T19:26:22+00:00

skb_copy_ubufs must unclone before it is safe to modify its
skb_shared_info with skb_zcopy_clear.

Commit b90ddd568792 ("skbuff: skb_copy_ubufs must release uarg even
without user frags") ensures that all skbs release their zerocopy
state, even those without frags.

But I forgot an edge case where such an skb arrives that is cloned.

The stack does not build such packets. Vhost/tun skbs have their
frags orphaned before cloning. TCP skbs only attach zerocopy state
when a frag is added.

But if TCP packets can be trimmed or linearized, this might occur.
Tracing the code I found no instance so far (e.g., skb_linearize
ends up calling skb_zcopy_clear if !skb->data_len).

Still, it is non-obvious that no path exists. And it is fragile to
rely on this.

skbuff: skb_copy_ubufs must release uarg even without user frags

2017-12-21T20:00:58+00:00

skb_copy_ubufs creates a private copy of frags[] to release its hold
on user frags, then calls uarg->callback to notify the owner.

Call uarg->callback even when no frags exist. This edge case can
happen when zerocopy_sg_from_iter finds enough room in skb_headlen
to copy all the data.

skbuff: orphan frags before zerocopy clone

2017-12-21T20:00:58+00:00

Call skb_zerocopy_clone after skb_orphan_frags, to avoid duplicate
calls to skb_uarg(skb)->callback for the same data.

skb_zerocopy_clone associates skb_shinfo(skb)->uarg from frag_skb
with each segment. This is only safe for uargs that do refcounting,
which is those that pass skb_orphan_frags without dropping their
shared frags. For others, skb_orphan_frags drops the user frags and
sets the uarg to NULL, after which sock_zerocopy_clone has no effect.

Qemu hangs were reported due to duplicate vhost_net_zerocopy_callback
calls for the same data causing the vhost_net_ubuf_ref_>refcount to
drop below zero.

mm: remove __GFP_COLD

2017-11-16T02:21:06+00:00

As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of.  Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact.  Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.

This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache.  Hence, there is only a potential
benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop.  It's
even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.

The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path.  A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
fault path.

kmemcheck: remove annotations

2017-11-16T02:21:04+00:00

Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2.

As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck.

KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of
kmemcheck (single CPU, slow).  KASan is already upstream.

We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't
consider KASan as a suitable replacement).

The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC
versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2
years, and try again.

Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports
KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.

This patch (of 4):

Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.

netfilter/ipvs: clear ipvs_property flag when SKB net namespace changed

2017-11-04T13:37:42+00:00

When run ipvs in two different network namespace at the same host, and one
ipvs transport network traffic to the other network namespace ipvs.
'ipvs_property' flag will make the second ipvs take no effect. So we should
clear 'ipvs_property' when SKB network namespace changed.

There were quite a few overlapping sets of changes here.

Daniel's bug fix for off-by-ones in the new BPF branch instructions,
along with the added allowances for "data_end > ptr + x" forms
collided with the metadata additions.

Along with those three changes came veritifer test cases, which in
their final form I tried to group together properly.  If I had just
trimmed GIT's conflict tags as-is, this would have split up the
meta tests unnecessarily.

In the socketmap code, a set of preemption disabling changes
overlapped with the rename of bpf_compute_data_end() to
bpf_compute_data_pointers().

Changes were made to the mv88e6060.c driver set addr method
which got removed in net-next.

The hyperv transport socket layer had a locking change in 'net'
which overlapped with a change of socket state macro usage
in 'net-next'.
