<title>rxrpc: Ignore BUSY packets on old calls</title>

<content type='text'>
If we receive a BUSY packet for a call we think we've just completed, the
packet is handed off to the connection processor to deal with - but the
connection processor doesn't expect a BUSY packet and so flags a protocol
error.

Fix this by simply ignoring the BUSY packet for the moment.

The symptom of this may appear as a system call failing with EPROTO.  This
may be triggered by pressing ctrl-C under some circumstances.

This comes about we abort calls due to interruption by a signal (which we
shouldn't do, but that's going to be a large fix and mostly in fs/afs/).
What happens is that we abort the call and may also abort follow up calls
too (this needs offloading somehoe).  So we see a transmission of something
like the following sequence of packets:

	DATA for call N
	ABORT call N
	DATA for call N+1
	ABORT call N+1

in very quick succession on the same channel.  However, the peer may have
deferred the processing of the ABORT from the call N to a background thread
and thus sees the DATA message from the call N+1 coming in before it has
cleared the channel.  Thus it sends a BUSY packet[*].

[*] Note that some implementations (OpenAFS, for example) mark the BUSY
    packet with one plus the callNumber of the call prior to call N.
    Ordinarily, this would be call N, but there's no requirement for the
    calls on a channel to be numbered strictly sequentially (the number is
    required to increase).

    This is wrong and means that the callNumber in the BUSY packet should
    be ignored (it really ought to be N+1 since that's what it's in
    response to).

<title>rxrpc: Wake up the transmitter if Rx window size increases on the peer</title>

<content type='text'>
The RxRPC ACK packet may contain an extension that includes the peer's
current Rx window size for this call.  We adjust the local Tx window size
to match.  However, the transmitter can stall if the receive window is
reduced to 0 by the peer and then reopened.

This is because the normal way that the transmitter is re-energised is by
dropping something out of our Tx queue and thus making space.  When a
single gap is made, the transmitter is woken up.  However, because there's
nothing in the Tx queue at this point, this doesn't happen.

To fix this, perform a wake_up() any time we see the peer's Rx window size
increasing.

The observable symptom is that calls start failing on ETIMEDOUT and the
following:

	kAFS: SERVER DEAD state=-62

appears in dmesg.

If rxrpc_kernel_send_data() is asked to send data through a call that has
already failed (due to a remote abort, received protocol error or network
error), then return the associated error code saved in the call rather than
ESHUTDOWN.

This allows the caller to work out whether to ask for the abort code or not
based on this.

<id>540b1c48c37ac0ad66212004db21e1ff7e2d78be</id>
<content type='text'>
All the routines by which rxrpc is accessed from the outside are serialised
by means of the socket lock (sendmsg, recvmsg, bind,
rxrpc_kernel_begin_call(), ...) and this presents a problem:

 (1) If a number of calls on the same socket are in the process of
     connection to the same peer, a maximum of four concurrent live calls
     are permitted before further calls need to wait for a slot.

 (2) If a call is waiting for a slot, it is deep inside sendmsg() or
     rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() and the entry function is holding the socket
     lock.

 (3) sendmsg() and recvmsg() or the in-kernel equivalents are prevented
     from servicing the other calls as they need to take the socket lock to
     do so.

 (4) The socket is stuck until a call is aborted and makes its slot
     available to the waiter.

Fix this by:

 (1) Provide each call with a mutex ('user_mutex') that arbitrates access
     by the users of rxrpc separately for each specific call.

 (2) Make rxrpc_sendmsg() and rxrpc_recvmsg() unlock the socket as soon as
     they've got a call and taken its mutex.

     Note that I'm returning EWOULDBLOCK from recvmsg() if MSG_DONTWAIT is
     set but someone else has the lock.  Should I instead only return
     EWOULDBLOCK if there's nothing currently to be done on a socket, and
     sleep in this particular instance because there is something to be
     done, but we appear to be blocked by the interrupt handler doing its
     ping?

 (3) Make rxrpc_new_client_call() unlock the socket after allocating a new
     call, locking its user mutex and adding it to the socket's call tree.
     The call is returned locked so that sendmsg() can add data to it
     immediately.

     From the moment the call is in the socket tree, it is subject to
     access by sendmsg() and recvmsg() - even if it isn't connected yet.

 (4) Lock new service calls in the UDP data_ready handler (in
     rxrpc_new_incoming_call()) because they may already be in the socket's
     tree and the data_ready handler makes them live immediately if a user
     ID has already been preassigned.

     Note that the new call is locked before any notifications are sent
     that it is live, so doing mutex_trylock() *ought* to always succeed.
     Userspace is prevented from doing sendmsg() on calls that are in a
     too-early state in rxrpc_do_sendmsg().

 (5) Make rxrpc_new_incoming_call() return the call with the user mutex
     held so that a ping can be scheduled immediately under it.

     Note that it might be worth moving the ping call into
     rxrpc_new_incoming_call() and then we can drop the mutex there.

 (6) Make rxrpc_accept_call() take the lock on the call it is accepting and
     release the socket after adding the call to the socket's tree.  This
     is slightly tricky as we've dequeued the call by that point and have
     to requeue it.

     Note that requeuing emits a trace event.

 (7) Make rxrpc_kernel_send_data() and rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() take the
     new mutex immediately and don't bother with the socket mutex at all.

This patch has the nice bonus that calls on the same socket are now to some
extent parallelisable.

Note that we might want to move rxrpc_service_prealloc() calls out from the
socket lock and give it its own lock, so that we don't hang progress in
other calls because we're waiting for the allocator.

We probably also want to avoid calling rxrpc_notify_socket() from within
the socket lock (rxrpc_accept_call()).

     available to the waiter.

Fix this by:

 (1) Provide each call with a mutex ('user_mutex') that arbitrates access
     by the users of rxrpc separately for each specific call.

 (2) Make rxrpc_sendmsg() and rxrpc_recvmsg() unlock the socket as soon as
     they've got a call and taken its mutex.

     Note that I'm returning EWOULDBLOCK from recvmsg() if MSG_DONTWAIT is
     set but someone else has the lock.  Should I instead only return
     EWOULDBLOCK if there's nothing currently to be done on a socket, and
     sleep in this particular instance because there is something to be
     done, but we appear to be blocked by the interrupt handler doing its
     ping?

 (3) Make rxrpc_new_client_call() unlock the socket after allocating a new
     call, locking its user mutex and adding it to the socket's call tree.
     The call is returned locked so that sendmsg() can add data to it
     immediately.

     From the moment the call is in the socket tree, it is subject to
     access by sendmsg() and recvmsg() - even if it isn't connected yet.

 (4) Lock new service calls in the UDP data_ready handler (in
     rxrpc_new_incoming_call()) because they may already be in the socket's
     tree and the data_ready handler makes them live immediately if a user
     ID has already been preassigned.

     Note that the new call is locked before any notifications are sent
     that it is live, so doing mutex_trylock() *ought* to always succeed.
     Userspace is prevented from doing sendmsg() on calls that are in a
     too-early state in rxrpc_do_sendmsg().

 (5) Make rxrpc_new_incoming_call() return the call with the user mutex
     held so that a ping can be scheduled immediately under it.

     Note that it might be worth moving the ping call into
     rxrpc_new_incoming_call() and then we can drop the mutex there.

 (6) Make rxrpc_accept_call() take the lock on the call it is accepting and
     release the socket after adding the call to the socket's tree.  This
     is slightly tricky as we've dequeued the call by that point and have
     to requeue it.

     Note that requeuing emits a trace event.

 (7) Make rxrpc_kernel_send_data() and rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() take the
     new mutex immediately and don't bother with the socket mutex at all.

This patch has the nice bonus that calls on the same socket are now to some
extent parallelisable.

Note that we might want to move rxrpc_service_prealloc() calls out from the
socket lock and give it its own lock, so that we don't hang progress in
other calls because we're waiting for the allocator.

We probably also want to avoid calling rxrpc_notify_socket() from within
the socket lock (rxrpc_accept_call()).

<title>rxrpc: Kernel calls get stuck in recvmsg</title>

Calls made through the in-kernel interface can end up getting stuck because
of a missed variable update in a loop in rxrpc_recvmsg_data().  The problem
is like this:

 (1) A new packet comes in and doesn't cause a notification to be given to
     the client as there's still another packet in the ring - the
     assumption being that if the client will keep drawing off data until
     the ring is empty.

 (2) The client is in rxrpc_recvmsg_data(), inside the big while loop that
     iterates through the packets.  This copies the window pointers into
     variables rather than using the information in the call struct
     because:

     (a) MSG_PEEK might be in effect;

     (b) we need a barrier after reading call-&gt;rx_top to pair with the
     	 barrier in the softirq routine that loads the buffer.

 (3) The reading of call-&gt;rx_top is done outside of the loop, and top is
     never updated whilst we're in the loop.  This means that even through
     there's a new packet available, we don't see it and may return -EFAULT
     to the caller - who will happily return to the scheduler and await the
     next notification.

 (4) No further notifications are forthcoming until there's an abort as the
     ring isn't empty.

The fix is to move the read of call-&gt;rx_top inside the loop - but it needs
to be done before the condition is checked.

<title>rxrpc: Fix an assertion in rxrpc_read()</title>

In the rxrpc_read() function, which allows a user to read the contents of a
key, we miscalculate the expected length of an encoded rxkad token by not
taking into account the key length.  However, the data is stored later
anyway with an ENCODE_DATA() call - and an assertion failure then ensues
when the lengths are checked at the end.

Fix this by including the key length in the token size estimation.

The following assertion is produced:

Assertion failed - 384(0x180) == 380(0x17c) is false
