* rxrpc: Fix NULL pointer deref due to call->conn being cleared on disconnectDavid Howells2020-02-141-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Upstream commit 5273a191dca65a675dc0bcf3909e59c6933e2831 ] When a call is disconnected, the connection pointer from the call is cleared to make sure it isn't used again and to prevent further attempted transmission for the call. Unfortunately, there might be a daemon trying to use it at the same time to transmit a packet. Fix this by keeping call->conn set, but setting a flag on the call to indicate disconnection instead. Remove also the bits in the transmission functions where the conn pointer is checked and a ref taken under spinlock as this is now redundant.

* rxrpc: Fix client call queueing, waiting for channelDavid Howells2019-03-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Upstream commit 69ffaebb90369ce08657b5aea4896777b9d6e8fc ] rxrpc_get_client_conn() adds a new call to the front of the waiting_calls queue if the connection it's going to use already exists. This is bad as it allows calls to get starved out. Fix this by adding to the tail instead. Also change the other enqueue point in the same function to put it on the front (ie. when we have a new connection). This makes the point that in the case of a new connection the new call goes at the front (though it doesn't actually matter since the queue should be unoccupied).

* rxrpc: Fix service endpoint expiryDavid Howells2018-02-031-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Upstream commit f859ab61875978eeaa539740ff7f7d91f5d60006 ] RxRPC service endpoints expire like they're supposed to by the following means: (1) Mark dead rxrpc_net structs (with ->live) rather than twiddling the global service conn timeout, otherwise the first rxrpc_net struct to die will cause connections on all others to expire immediately from then on. (2) Mark local service endpoints for which the socket has been closed (->service_closed) so that the expiration timeout can be much shortened for service and client connections going through that endpoint. (3) rxrpc_put_service_conn() needs to schedule the reaper when the usage count reaches 1, not 0, as idle conns have a 1 count. (4) The accumulator for the earliest time we might want to schedule for should be initialised to jiffies + MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET, not ULONG_MAX as the comparison functions use signed arithmetic. (5) Simplify the expiration handling, adding the expiration value to the idle timestamp each time rather than keeping track of the time in the past before which the idle timestamp must go to be expired. This is much easier to read. (6) Ignore the timeouts if the net namespace is dead. (7) Restart the service reaper work item rather the client reaper.

* rxrpc: Allow failed client calls to be retriedDavid Howells2017-08-291-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow a client call that failed on network error to be retried, provided that the Tx queue still holds DATA packet 1. This allows an operation to be submitted to another server or another address for the same server without having to repackage and re-encrypt the data so far processed. Two new functions are provided: (1) rxrpc_kernel_check_call() - This is used to find out the completion state of a call to guess whether it can be retried and whether it should be retried. (2) rxrpc_kernel_retry_call() - Disconnect the call from its current connection, reset the state and submit it as a new client call to a new address. The new address need not match the previous address. A call may be retried even if all the data hasn't been loaded into it yet; a partially constructed will be retained at the same point it was at when an error condition was detected. msg_data_left() can be used to find out how much data was packaged before the error occurred.

* rxrpc: Cache the congestion window settingDavid Howells2017-06-141-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Cache the congestion window setting that was determined during a call's transmission phase when it finishes so that it can be used by the next call to the same peer, thereby shortcutting the slow-start algorithm. The value is stored in the rxrpc_peer struct and is accessed without locking. Each call takes the value that happens to be there when it starts and just overwrites the value when it finishes.

* rxrpc: Add service upgrade support for client connectionsDavid Howells2017-06-051-8/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make it possible for a client to use AuriStor's service upgrade facility. The client does this by adding an RXRPC_UPGRADE_SERVICE control message to the first sendmsg() of a call. This takes no parameters. When recvmsg() starts returning data from the call, the service ID field in the returned msg_name will reflect the result of the upgrade attempt. If the upgrade was ignored, srx_service will match what was set in the sendmsg(); if the upgrade happened the srx_service will be altered to indicate the service the server upgraded to. Note that: (1) The choice of upgrade service is up to the server (2) Further client calls to the same server that would share a connection are blocked if an upgrade probe is in progress. (3) This should only be used to probe the service. Clients should then use the returned service ID in all subsequent communications with that server (and not set the upgrade). Note that the kernel will not retain this information should the connection expire from its cache. (4) If a server that supports upgrading is replaced by one that doesn't, whilst a connection is live, and if the replacement is running, say, OpenAFS 1.6.4 or older or an older IBM AFS, then the replacement server will not respond to packets sent to the upgraded connection. At this point, calls will time out and the server must be reprobed. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
* rxrpc: Separate the connection's protocol service ID from the lookup IDDavid Howells2017-06-051-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Keep the rxrpc_connection struct's idea of the service ID that is exposed in the protocol separate from the service ID that's used as a lookup key. This allows the protocol service ID on a client connection to get upgraded without making the connection unfindable for other client calls that also would like to use the upgraded connection. The connection's actual service ID is then returned through recvmsg() by way of msg_name. Whilst we're at it, we get rid of the last_service_id field from each channel. The service ID is per-connection, not per-call and an entire connection is upgraded in one go. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
* rxrpc: Support network namespacingDavid Howells2017-05-251-78/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support network namespacing in AF_RXRPC with the following changes: (1) All the local endpoint, peer and call lists, locks, counters, etc. are moved into the per-namespace record. (2) All the connection tracking is moved into the per-namespace record with the exception of the client connection ID tree, which is kept global so that connection IDs are kept unique per-machine. (3) Each namespace gets its own epoch. This allows each network namespace to pretend to be a separate client machine. (4) The /proc/net/rxrpc_xxx files are now called /proc/net/rxrpc/xxx and the contents reflect the namespace. fs/afs/ should be okay with this patch as it explicitly requires the current net namespace to be init_net to permit a mount to proceed at the moment. It will, however, need updating so that cells, IP addresses and DNS records are per-namespace also. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the way enum values are translated into strings in AF_RXRPC tracepoints. The problem with just doing a lookup in a normal flat array of strings or chars is that external tracing infrastructure can't find it. Rather, TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM must be used. Also sort the enums and string tables to make it easier to keep them in order so that a future patch to __print_symbolic() can be optimised to try a direct lookup into the table first before iterating over it. A couple of _proto() macro calls are removed because they refered to tables that got moved to the tracing infrastructure. The relevant data can be found by way of tracing.

* rxrpc: When activating client conn channels, do state check inside lockDavid Howells2016-09-291-11/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In rxrpc_activate_channels(), the connection cache state is checked outside of the lock, which means it can change whilst we're waking calls up, thereby changing whether or not we're allowed to wake calls up. Fix this by moving the check inside the locked region. The check to see if all the channels are currently busy can stay outside of the locked region. Whilst we're at it: (1) Split the locked section out into its own function so that we can call it from other places in a later patch. (2) Determine the mask of channels dependent on the state as we're going to add another state in a later patch that will restrict the number of simultaneous calls to 1 on a connection.

* rxrpc: Fix unexposed client conn releaseDavid Howells2016-09-171-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the last call on a client connection is release after the connection has had a bunch of calls allocated but before any DATA packets are sent (so that it's not yet marked RXRPC_CONN_EXPOSED), an assertion will happen in rxrpc_disconnect_client_call(). af_rxrpc: Assertion failed - 1(0x1) >= 2(0x2) is false ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at ../net/rxrpc/conn_client.c:753! This is because it's expecting the conn to have been exposed and to have 2 or more refs - but this isn't necessarily the case. Simply remove the assertion. This allows the conn to be moved into the inactive state and deleted if it isn't resurrected before the final put is called. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
* rxrpc: Fix the putting of client connectionsDavid Howells2016-09-171-15/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In rxrpc_put_one_client_conn(), if a connection has RXRPC_CONN_COUNTED set on it, then it's accounted for in rxrpc_nr_client_conns and may be on various lists - and this is cleaned up correctly. However, if the connection doesn't have RXRPC_CONN_COUNTED set on it, then the put routine returns rather than just skipping the extra bit of cleanup. Fix this by making the extra bit of clean up conditional instead and always killing off the connection. This manifests itself as connections with a zero usage count hanging around in /proc/net/rxrpc_conns because the connection allocated, but discarded, due to a race with another process that set up a parallel connection, which was then shared instead.

* rxrpc: Improve management and caching of client connection objectsDavid Howells2016-08-241-115/+795
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Improve the management and caching of client rxrpc connection objects. From this point, client connections will be managed separately from service connections because AF_RXRPC controls the creation and re-use of client connections but doesn't have that luxury with service connections. Further, there will be limits on the numbers of client connections that may be live on a machine. No direct restriction will be placed on the number of client calls, excepting that each client connection can support a maximum of four concurrent calls. Note that, for a number of reasons, we don't want to simply discard a client connection as soon as the last call is apparently finished: (1) Security is negotiated per-connection and the context is then shared between all calls on that connection. The context can be negotiated again if the connection lapses, but that involves holding up calls whilst at least two packets are exchanged and various crypto bits are performed - so we'd ideally like to cache it for a little while at least. (2) If a packet goes astray, we will need to retransmit a final ACK or ABORT packet. To make this work, we need to keep around the connection details for a little while. (3) The locally held structures represent some amount of setup time, to be weighed against their occupation of memory when idle. To this end, the client connection cache is managed by a state machine on each connection. There are five states: (1) INACTIVE - The connection is not held in any list and may not have been exposed to the world. If it has been previously exposed, it was discarded from the idle list after expiring. (2) WAITING - The connection is waiting for the number of client conns to drop below the maximum capacity. Calls may be in progress upon it from when it was active and got culled. The connection is on the rxrpc_waiting_client_conns list which is kept in to-be-granted order. Culled conns with waiters go to the back of the queue just like new conns. (3) ACTIVE - The connection has at least one call in progress upon it, it may freely grant available channels to new calls and calls may be waiting on it for channels to become available. The connection is on the rxrpc_active_client_conns list which is kept in activation order for culling purposes. (4) CULLED - The connection got summarily culled to try and free up capacity. Calls currently in progress on the connection are allowed to continue, but new calls will have to wait. There can be no waiters in this state - the conn would have to go to the WAITING state instead. (5) IDLE - The connection has no calls in progress upon it and must have been exposed to the world (ie. the EXPOSED flag must be set). When it expires, the EXPOSED flag is cleared and the connection transitions to the INACTIVE state. The connection is on the rxrpc_idle_client_conns list which is kept in order of how soon they'll expire. A connection in the ACTIVE or CULLED state must have at least one active call upon it; if in the WAITING state it may have active calls upon it; other states may not have active calls. As long as a connection remains active and doesn't get culled, it may continue to process calls - even if there are connections on the wait queue. This simplifies things a bit and reduces the amount of checking we need do. There are a couple flags of relevance to the cache: (1) EXPOSED - The connection ID got exposed to the world. If this flag is set, an extra ref is added to the connection preventing it from being reaped when it has no calls outstanding. This flag is cleared and the ref dropped when a conn is discarded from the idle list. (2) DONT_REUSE - The connection should be discarded as soon as possible and should not be reused. This commit also provides a number of new settings: (*) /proc/net/rxrpc/max_client_conns The maximum number of live client connections. Above this number, new connections get added to the wait list and must wait for an active conn to be culled. Culled connections can be reused, but they will go to the back of the wait list and have to wait. (*) /proc/net/rxrpc/reap_client_conns If the number of desired connections exceeds the maximum above, the active connection list will be culled until there are only this many left in it. (*) /proc/net/rxrpc/idle_conn_expiry The normal expiry time for a client connection, provided there are fewer than reap_client_conns of them around. (*) /proc/net/rxrpc/idle_conn_fast_expiry The expedited expiry time, used when there are more than reap_client_conns of them around. Note that I combined the Tx wait queue with the channel grant wait queue to save space as only one of these should be in use at once. Note also that, for the moment, the service connection cache still uses the old connection management code. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
* rxrpc: Dup the main conn list for the proc interfaceDavid Howells2016-08-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main connection list is used for two independent purposes: primarily it is used to find connections to reap and secondarily it is used to list connections in procfs. Split the procfs list out from the reap list. This allows us to stop using the reap list for client connections when they acquire a separate management strategy from service collections. The client connections will not be on a management single list, and sometimes won't be on a management list at all.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move to using RCU access to a peer's service connection tree when routing an incoming packet. This is done using a seqlock to trigger retrying of the tree walk if a change happened. Further, we no longer get a ref on the connection looked up in the data_ready handler unless we queue the connection's work item - and then only if the refcount > 0. Note that I'm avoiding the use of a hash table for service connections because each service connection is addressed by a 62-bit number (constructed from epoch and connection ID >> 2) that would allow the client to engage in bucket stuffing, given knowledge of the hash algorithm. Peers, however, are hashed as the network address is less controllable by the client. The total number of peers will also be limited in a future commit.

* rxrpc: Maintain an extra ref on a conn for the cache listDavid Howells2016-07-061-8/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Overhaul the usage count accounting for the rxrpc_connection struct to make it easier to implement RCU access from the data_ready handler. The problem is that currently we're using a lock to prevent the garbage collector from trying to clean up a connection that we're contemplating unidling. We could just stick incoming packets on the connection we find, but we've then got a problem that we may race when dispatching a work item to process it as we need to give that a ref to prevent the rxrpc_connection struct from disappearing in the meantime. Further, incoming packets may get discarded if attached to an rxrpc_connection struct that is going away. Whilst this is not a total disaster - the client will presumably resend - it would delay processing of the call. This would affect the AFS client filesystem's service manager operation. To this end: (1) We now maintain an extra count on the connection usage count whilst it is on the connection list. This mean it is not in use when its refcount is 1. (2) When trying to reuse an old connection, we only increment the refcount if it is greater than 0. If it is 0, we replace it in the tree with a new candidate connection. (3) Two connection flags are added to indicate whether or not a connection is in the local's client connection tree (used by sendmsg) or the peer's service connection tree (used by data_ready). This makes sure that we don't try and remove a connection if it got replaced. The flags are tested under lock with the removal operation to prevent the reaper from killing the rxrpc_connection struct whilst someone else is trying to effect a replacement. This could probably be alleviated by using memory barriers between the flag set/test and the rb_tree ops. The rb_tree op would still need to be under the lock, however. (4) When trying to reap an old connection, we try to flip the usage count from 1 to 0. If it's not 1 at that point, then it must've come back to life temporarily and we ignore it.

* rxrpc: Use IDR to allocate client conn IDs on a machine-wide basisDavid Howells2016-06-221-0/+99
Use the IDR facility to allocate client connection IDs on a machine-wide basis so that each client connection has a unique identifier. When the connection ID space wraps, we advance the epoch by 1, thereby effectively having a 62-bit ID space. The IDR facility is then used to look up client connections during incoming packet routing instead of using an rbtree rooted on the transport. This change allows for the removal of the transport in the future and also means that client connections can be looked up directly in the data-ready handler by connection ID. The ID management code is placed in a new file, conn-client.c, to which all the client connection-specific code will eventually move. Note that the IDR tree gets very expensive on memory if the connection IDs are widely scattered throughout the number space, so we shall need to retire connections that have, say, an ID more than four times the maximum number of client conns away from the current allocation point to try and keep the IDs concentrated. We will also need to retire connections from an old epoch. Also note that, for the moment, a pointer to the transport has to be passed through into the ID allocation function so that we can take a BH lock to prevent a locking issue against in-BH lookup of client connections. This will go away later when RCU is used for server connections also. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
