RxRPC: Handle VERSION Rx protocol packets

2015-04-01T15:31:26+00:00

Handle VERSION Rx protocol packets.  We should respond to a VERSION packet
with a string indicating the Rx version.  This is a maximum of 64 characters
and is padded out to 65 chars with NUL bytes.

Note that other AFS clients use the version request as a NAT keepalive so we
need to handle it rather than returning an abort.

The standard formulation seems to be:

	  built --

for example:

	" OpenAFS 1.6.2 built  2013-05-07 "

(note the three extra spaces) as obtained with:

	rxdebug grand.mit.edu -version

from the openafs package.

net: remove dead code after sk_data_ready change

2014-08-23T04:08:50+00:00

As a followup to commit 676d23690fb ("net: Fix use after free by
removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks"), we can remove
some useless code in sock_queue_rcv_skb() and rxrpc_queue_rcv_skb()

net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.

2014-04-11T20:15:36+00:00

Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:

	skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
	sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);

But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up.  So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.

Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.

And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument.  And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.

So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.

Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.

af_rxrpc: Keep rxrpc_call pointers in a hashtable

2014-03-04T10:36:53+00:00

Keep track of rxrpc_call structures in a hashtable so they can be
found directly from the network parameters which define the call.

This allows incoming packets to be routed directly to a call without walking
through hierarchy of peer -> transport -> connection -> call and all the
spinlocks that that entailed.

af_rxrpc: Improve ACK production

2014-02-26T17:25:07+00:00

Improve ACK production by the following means:

 (1) Don't send an ACK_REQUESTED ack immediately even if the RXRPC_MORE_PACKETS
     flag isn't set on a data packet that has also has RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK set.

     MORE_PACKETS just means that the sender just emptied its Tx data buffer.
     More data will be forthcoming unless RXRPC_LAST_PACKET is also flagged.

     It is possible to see runs of DATA packets with MORE_PACKETS unset that
     aren't waiting for an ACK.

     It is therefore better to wait a small instant to see if we can combine an
     ACK for several packets.

 (2) Don't send an ACK_IDLE ack immediately unless we're responding to the
     terminal data packet of a call.

     Whilst sending an ACK_IDLE mid-call serves to let the other side know
     that we won't be asking it to resend certain Tx buffers and that it can
     discard them, spamming it with loads of acks just because we've
     temporarily run out of data just distracts it.

 (3) Put the ACK_IDLE ack generation timeout up to half a second rather than a
     single jiffy.  Just because we haven't been given more data immediately
     doesn't mean that more isn't forthcoming.  The other side may be busily
     finding the data to send to us.

af_rxrpc: Add sysctls for configuring RxRPC parameters

2014-02-26T17:25:06+00:00

Add sysctls for configuring RxRPC protocol handling, specifically controls on
delays before ack generation, the delay before resending a packet, the maximum
lifetime of a call and the expiration times of calls, connections and
transports that haven't been recently used.

More info added in Documentation/networking/rxrpc.txt.

af_rxrpc: Prevent RxRPC peers from ABORT-storming one another

2014-02-07T18:58:43+00:00

When an ABORT is sent, aborting a connection, the sender quite reasonably
forgets about the connection.  If another frame is received, another ABORT
will be sent.  When the receiver gets it, it no longer applies to an extant
connection, so an ABORT is sent, and so on...

Prevent this by never sending a rejection for an ABORT packet.

AF_RXRPC: Handle receiving ACKALL packets

The OpenAFS server is now sending ACKALL packets, so we need to handle them.
Otherwise we report a protocol error and abort.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
