* | net/tls: fully initialize the msg wrapper skbJakub Kicinski2019-06-041-6/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If strparser gets cornered into starting a new message from an sk_buff which already has frags, it will allocate a new skb to become the "wrapper" around the fragments of the message. This new skb does not inherit any metadata fields. In case of TLS offload this may lead to unnecessarily re-encrypting the message, as skb->decrypted is not set for the wrapper skb. Try to be conservative and copy all fields of old skb strparser's user may reasonably need.

* net: strparser: make it explicitly non-modularPaul Gortmaker2019-04-221-10/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is: net/strparser/Kconfig:config STREAM_PARSER net/strparser/Kconfig: def_bool n ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone. Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only. Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit. For clarity, we change the fcn name mod_init to dev_init at the same time. We replace module.h with init.h and export.h ; the latter since this file exports some syms. Cc: "David S.

To build a message with multiple fragments we need our own root of frag_list. We can't simply use the frag_list of orig_skb, because it will lead to linking all orig_skbs together creating very long frag chains, and causing stack overflow on kfree_skb() (which is called recursively on the frag_lists).

* bpf, sockmap: convert to generic sk_msg interfaceDaniel Borkmann2018-10-151-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a generic sk_msg layer, and convert current sockmap and later kTLS over to make use of it. While sk_buff handles network packet representation from netdevice up to socket, sk_msg handles data representation from application to socket layer. This means that sk_msg framework spans across ULP users in the kernel, and enables features such as introspection or filtering of data with the help of BPF programs that operate on this data structure. Latter becomes in particular useful for kTLS where data encryption is deferred into the kernel, and as such enabling the kernel to perform L7 introspection and policy based on BPF for TLS connections where the record is being encrypted after BPF has run and came to a verdict. In order to get there, first step is to transform open coding of scatter-gather list handling into a common core framework that subsystems can use. The code itself has been split and refactored into three bigger pieces: i) the generic sk_msg API which deals with managing the scatter gather ring, providing helpers for walking and mangling, transferring application data from user space into it, and preparing it for BPF pre/post-processing, ii) the plain sock map itself where sockets can be attached to or detached from; these bits are independent of i) which can now be used also without sock map, and iii) the integration with plain TCP as one protocol to be used for processing L7 application data (later this could e.g. also be extended to other protocols like UDP). The semantics are the same with the old sock map code and therefore no change of user facing behavior or APIs. While pursuing this work it also helped finding a number of bugs in the old sockmap code that we've fixed already in earlier commits. The test_sockmap kselftest suite passes through fine as well.

| * strparser: Remove early eaten to fix full tcp receive buffer stallDoron Roberts-Kedes2018-06-281-16/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On receving an incomplete message, the existing code stores the remaining length of the cloned skb in the early_eaten field instead of incrementing the value returned by __strp_recv. This defers invocation of sock_rfree for the current skb until the next invocation of __strp_recv, which returns early_eaten if early_eaten is non-zero. This behavior causes a stall when the current message occupies the very tail end of a massive skb, and strp_peek/need_bytes indicates that the remainder of the current message has yet to arrive on the socket. The TCP receive buffer is totally full, causing the TCP window to go to zero, so the remainder of the message will never arrive. Incrementing the value returned by __strp_recv by the amount otherwise stored in early_eaten prevents stalls of this nature.

* strparser: Add __strp_unpause and use it in ktls.Doron Roberts-Kedes2018-06-061-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strp_unpause queues strp_work in order to parse any messages that arrived while the strparser was paused. However, the process invoking strp_unpause could eagerly parse a buffered message itself if it held the sock lock. __strp_unpause is an alternative to strp_pause that avoids the scheduling overhead that results when a receiving thread unpauses the strparser and waits for the next message to be delivered by the workqueue thread. This patch more than doubled the IOPS achieved in a benchmark of NBD traffic encrypted using ktls. Signed-off-by: Doron Roberts-Kedes <doronrk@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* strparser: Do not call mod_delayed_work with a timeout of LONG_MAXDoron Roberts-Kedes2018-04-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct sock's sk_rcvtimeo is initialized to LONG_MAX/MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT in sock_init_data. Calling mod_delayed_work with a timeout of LONG_MAX causes spurious execution of the work function. timer->expires is set equal to jiffies + LONG_MAX. When timer_base->clk falls behind the current value of jiffies, the delta between timer_base->clk and jiffies + LONG_MAX causes the expiration to be in the past. Returning early from strp_start_timer if timeo == LONG_MAX solves this problem. Found while testing net/tls_sw recv path.

* strparser: Fix incorrect strp->need_bytes value.Doron Roberts-Kedes2018-04-121-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strp_data_ready resets strp->need_bytes to 0 if strp_peek_len indicates that the remainder of the message has been received. However, do_strp_work does not reset strp->need_bytes to 0. If do_strp_work completes a partial message, the value of strp->need_bytes will continue to reflect the needed bytes of the previous message, causing future invocations of strp_data_ready to return early if strp->need_bytes is less than strp_peek_len. Resetting strp->need_bytes to 0 in __strp_recv on handing a full message to the upper layer solves this problem. __strp_recv also calculates strp->need_bytes using stm->accum_len before stm->accum_len has been incremented by cand_len. This can cause strp->need_bytes to be equal to the full length of the message instead of the full length minus the accumulated length. This, in turn, causes strp_data_ready to return early, even when there is sufficient data to complete the partial message. Incrementing stm->accum_len before using it to calculate strp->need_bytes solves this problem. Found while testing net/tls_sw recv path.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strp_parser_err is called with a negative code everywhere, which then calls abort_parser with a negative code. strp_msg_timeout calls abort_parser directly with a positive code. Negate ETIMEDOUT to match signed-ness of other calls. The default abort_parser callback, strp_abort_strp, sets sk->sk_err to err. Also negate the error here so sk_err always holds a positive value, as the rest of the net code expects. Currently a negative sk_err can result in endless loops, or user code that thinks it actually sent/received err bytes. Found while testing net/tls_sw recv path.

The API includes a context structure, a set of callbacks, utility functions, and a data ready function. A stream parser instance is defined by a strparse structure that is bound to a TCP socket. The function to initialize the structure is: int strp_init(struct strparser *strp, struct sock *csk, struct strp_callbacks *cb); csk is the TCP socket being bound to and cb are the parser callbacks. The upper layer calls strp_tcp_data_ready when data is ready on the lower socket for strparser to process. This should be called from a data_ready callback that is set on the socket: void strp_tcp_data_ready(struct strparser *strp); A parser is bound to a TCP socket by setting data_ready function to strp_tcp_data_ready so that all receive indications on the socket go through the parser. This is assumes that sk_user_data is set to the strparser structure. There are four callbacks. - parse_msg is called to parse the message (returns length or error). - rcv_msg is called when a complete message has been received - read_sock_done is called when data_ready function exits - abort_parser is called to abort the parser The input to parse_msg is an skbuff which contains next message under construction. The backend processing of parse_msg will parse the application layer protocol headers to determine the length of the message in the stream. The possible return values are: >0 : indicates length of successfully parsed message 0 : indicates more data must be received to parse the message -ESTRPIPE : current message should not be processed by the kernel, return control of the socket to userspace which can proceed to read the messages itself other < 0 : Error is parsing, give control back to userspace assuming that synchronzation is lost and the stream is unrecoverable (application expected to close TCP socket) In the case of error return (< 0) strparse will stop the parser and report and error to userspace. The application must deal with the error. To handle the error the strparser is unbound from the TCP socket. If the error indicates that the stream TCP socket is at recoverable point (ESTRPIPE) then the application can read the TCP socket to process the stream. Once the application has dealt with the exceptions in the stream, it may again bind the socket to a strparser to continue data operations. Note that ENODATA may be returned to the application. In this case parse_msg returned -ESTRPIPE, however strparser was unable to maintain synchronization of the stream (i.e. some of the message in question was already read by the parser). strp_pause and strp_unpause are used to provide flow control. For instance, if rcv_msg is called but the upper layer can't immediately consume the message it can hold the message and pause strparser.
