084be6309f tipc: fix the timer expires after interval 100ms
[ Upstream commit 6a7d8cff4a ]

In the timer callback function tipc_sk_timeout(), we're trying to
reschedule another timeout to retransmit a setup request if destination
link is congested. But we use the incorrect timeout value
(msecs_to_jiffies(100)) instead of (jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(100)),
so that the timer expires immediately, it's irrelevant for original
description.

In this commit we correct the timeout value in sk_reset_timer()

b692d5dc6f tipc: Fix end of loop tests for list_for_each_entry()
commit a1f8fec4da upstream.

These tests are supposed to check if the loop exited via a break or not.
However the tests are wrong because if we did not exit via a break then
"p" is not a valid pointer.  In that case, it's the equivalent of
"if (*(u32 *)sr == *last_key) {".  That's going to work most of the time,
but there is a potential for those to be equal.

fd9ed47fe6 tipc: increase timeout in tipc_sk_enqueue()
commit f4bb62e64c upstream.

In tipc_sk_enqueue() we use hardcoded 2 jiffies to extract
socket buffer from generic queue to particular socket.
The 2 jiffies is too short in case there are other high priority
tasks get CPU cycles for multiple jiffies update. As result, no
buffer could be enqueued to particular socket.

To solve this, we switch to use constant timeout 20msecs.
Then, the function will be expired between 2 jiffies (CONFIG_100HZ)
and 20 jiffies (CONFIG_1000HZ).

As Hoang pointed out, it was caused by skb_cb->bytes_read still accessed
after calling tsk_advance_rx_queue() to free the skb in tipc_recvmsg().

This patch is to fix it by accessing skb_cb->bytes_read earlier than
calling tsk_advance_rx_queue().

cca6127587 tipc: keep the skb in rcv queue until the whole data is read
[ Upstream commit f4919ff59c ]

Currently, when userspace reads a datagram with a buffer that is
smaller than this datagram, the data will be truncated and only
part of it can be received by users. It doesn't seem right that
users don't know the datagram size and have to use a huge buffer
to read it to avoid the truncation.

This patch to fix it by keeping the skb in rcv queue until the
whole data is read by users. Only the last msg of the datagram
will be marked with MSG_EOR, just as TCP/SCTP does.

Note that this will work as above only when MSG_EOR is set in the
flags parameter of recvmsg(), so that it won't break any old user
applications.

0a178a0151 tipc: call tipc_wait_for_connect only when dlen is not 0
commit 7387a72c5f upstream.

__tipc_sendmsg() is called to send SYN packet by either tipc_sendmsg()
or tipc_connect(). The difference is in tipc_connect(), it will call
tipc_wait_for_connect() after __tipc_sendmsg() to wait until connecting
is done. So there's no need to wait in __tipc_sendmsg() for this case.

This patch is to fix it by calling tipc_wait_for_connect() only when dlen
is not 0 in __tipc_sendmsg(), which means it's called by tipc_connect().

Note this also fixes the failure in tipcutils/test/ptts/:

  # ./tipcTS &
  # ./tipcTC 9

10f585740c tipc: fix implicit-connect for SYN+
[ Upstream commit f8dd60de19 ]

For implicit-connect, when it's either SYN- or SYN+, an ACK should
be sent back to the client immediately. It's not appropriate for
the client to enter established state only after receiving data
from the server.

On client side, after the SYN is sent out, tipc_wait_for_connect()
should be called to wait for the ACK if timeout is set.

This patch also restricts __tipc_sendstream() to call __sendmsg()
only when it's in TIPC_OPEN state, so that the client can program
in a single loop doing both connecting and data sending like:

  for (...)
      sendmsg(dest, buf);

This makes the implicit-connect more implicit.

e5e5ecc9d9 net:tipc: Fix a double free in tipc_sk_mcast_rcv
[ Upstream commit 6bf24dc0cc ]

In the if(skb_peek(arrvq) == skb) branch, it calls __skb_dequeue(arrvq) to get
the skb by skb = skb_peek(arrvq). Then __skb_dequeue() unlinks the skb from arrvq
and returns the skb which equals to skb_peek(arrvq). After __skb_dequeue(arrvq)
finished, the skb is freed by kfree_skb(__skb_dequeue(arrvq)) in the first time.

Unfortunately, the same skb is freed in the second time by kfree_skb(skb) after
the branch completed.

My patch removes kfree_skb() in the if(skb_peek(arrvq) == skb) branch, because
this skb will be freed by kfree_skb(skb) finally.

a4b5cc9e10 tipc: fix shutdown() of connection oriented socket
I confirmed that the problem fixed by commit 2a63866c8b ("tipc: fix
shutdown() of connectionless socket") also applies to stream socket.

----------
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        int fds[2] = { -1, -1 };
        socketpair(PF_TIPC, SOCK_STREAM /* or SOCK_DGRAM */, 0, fds);
        if (fork() == 0)
                _exit(read(fds[0], NULL, 1));
        shutdown(fds[0], SHUT_RDWR); /* This must make read() return. */
        wait(NULL); /* To be woken up by _exit(). */
        return 0;
}
----------

Since shutdown(SHUT_RDWR) should affect all processes sharing that socket,
unconditionally setting sk->sk_shutdown to SHUTDOWN_MASK will be the right
behavior.

2a63866c8b tipc: fix shutdown() of connectionless socket
syzbot is reporting hung task at nbd_ioctl() [1], for there are two
problems regarding TIPC's connectionless socket's shutdown() operation.

----------
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/nbd.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        const int fd = open("/dev/nbd0", 3);
        alarm(5);
        ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SOCK, socket(PF_TIPC, SOCK_DGRAM, 0));
        ioctl(fd, NBD_DO_IT, 0); /* To be interrupted by SIGALRM. */
        return 0;
}
----------

One problem is that wait_for_completion() from flush_workqueue() from
nbd_start_device_ioctl() from nbd_ioctl() cannot be completed when
nbd_start_device_ioctl() received a signal at wait_event_interruptible(),
for tipc_shutdown() from kernel_sock_shutdown(SHUT_RDWR) from
nbd_mark_nsock_dead() from sock_shutdown() from nbd_start_device_ioctl()
is failing to wake up a WQ thread sleeping at wait_woken() from
tipc_wait_for_rcvmsg() from sock_recvmsg() from sock_xmit() from
nbd_read_stat() from recv_work() scheduled by nbd_start_device() from
nbd_start_device_ioctl(). Fix this problem by always invoking
sk->sk_state_change() (like inet_shutdown() does) when tipc_shutdown() is
called.

The other problem is that tipc_wait_for_rcvmsg() cannot return when
tipc_shutdown() is called, for tipc_shutdown() sets sk->sk_shutdown to
SEND_SHUTDOWN (despite "how" is SHUT_RDWR) while tipc_wait_for_rcvmsg()
needs sk->sk_shutdown set to RCV_SHUTDOWN or SHUTDOWN_MASK. Fix this
problem by setting sk->sk_shutdown to SHUTDOWN_MASK (like inet_shutdown()
does) when the socket is connectionless.

Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ...

This happens after commit 5e9eeccc58 ("tipc: fix NULL pointer
dereference in streaming") that tried to build at least one buffer even
when the message data length is zero... However, it now exposes another
bug that the 'mss' can be zero and the 'cpy' will be negative, thus the
above kernel WARNING will appear!
The zero value of 'mss' is never expected because it means Nagle is not
enabled for the socket (actually the socket type was 'SOCK_SEQPACKET'),
so the function 'tipc_msg_append()' must not be called at all. But that
was in this particular case since the message data length was zero, and
the 'send <= maxnagle' check became true.

We resolve the issue by explicitly checking if Nagle is enabled for the
socket, i.e. 'maxnagle != 0' before calling the 'tipc_msg_append()'. We
also reinforce the function to against such a negative values if any.

0a3e060f34 tipc: add test for Nagle algorithm effectiveness
When streaming in Nagle mode, we try to bundle small messages from user
as many as possible if there is one outstanding buffer, i.e. not ACK-ed
by the receiving side, which helps boost up the overall throughput. So,
the algorithm's effectiveness really depends on when Nagle ACK comes or
what the specific network latency (RTT) is, compared to the user's
message sending rate.

In a bad case, the user's sending rate is low or the network latency is
small, there will not be many bundles, so making a Nagle ACK or waiting
for it is not meaningful.
For example: a user sends its messages every 100ms and the RTT is 50ms,
then for each messages, we require one Nagle ACK but then there is only
one user message sent without any bundles.

In a better case, even if we have a few bundles (e.g. the RTT = 300ms),
but now the user sends messages in medium size, then there will not be
any difference at all, that says 3 x 1000-byte data messages if bundled
will still result in 3 bundles with MTU = 1500.

When Nagle is ineffective, the delay in user message sending is clearly
wasted instead of sending directly.

Besides, adding Nagle ACKs will consume some processor load on both the
sending and receiving sides.

This commit adds a test on the effectiveness of the Nagle algorithm for
an individual connection in the network on which it actually runs.
Particularly, upon receipt of a Nagle ACK we will compare the number of
bundles in the backlog queue to the number of user messages which would
be sent directly without Nagle. If the ratio is good (e.g. >= 2), Nagle
mode will be kept for further message sending. Otherwise, we will leave
Nagle and put a 'penalty' on the connection, so it will have to spend
more 'one-way' messages before being able to re-enter Nagle.

In addition, the 'ack-required' bit is only set when really needed that
the number of Nagle ACKs will be reduced during Nagle mode.

Testing with benchmark showed that with the patch, there was not much
difference in throughput for small messages since the tool continuously
sends messages without a break, so Nagle would still take in effect.
