Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

David HowellsandJakub Kicinski e4d2878369 rxrpc: Fix irq-disabled in local_bh_enable()
The rxrpc_assess_MTU_size() function calls down into the IP layer to find
out the MTU size for a route.  When accepting an incoming call, this is
called from rxrpc_new_incoming_call() which holds interrupts disabled
across the code that calls down to it.  Unfortunately, the IP layer uses
local_bh_enable() which, config dependent, throws a warning if IRQs are
enabled:

Fix this by moving the call to rxrpc_assess_MTU_size() out of
rxrpc_init_peer() and further up the stack where it can be done without
interrupts disabled.

It shouldn't be a problem for rxrpc_new_incoming_call() to do it after the
locks are dropped as pmtud is going to be performed by the I/O thread - and
we're in the I/O thread at this point.

David Howells 40e8b52fe8 afs: Use the per-peer app data provided by rxrpc
Make use of the per-peer application data that rxrpc now allows the
application to store on the rxrpc_peer struct to hold a back pointer to the
afs_server record that peer represents an endpoint for.

Then, when a call comes in to the AFS cache manager, this can be used to
map it to the correct server record rather than having to use a
UUID-to-server mapping table and having to do an additional lookup.

This will allow afs to store a pointer to the afs_server object on the

The peer->mtu_lock is only used to lock around writes to peer->max_data -
and nothing else; further, all such writes take place in the I/O thread and
the lock is only ever write-locked and never read-locked.

In a couple of places, the write_seqcount_begin() is wrapped in
preempt_disable/enable(), but not in all places.  This can cause lockdep to
complain:

David HowellsandJakub Kicinski 79d458c130 rxrpc, afs: Fix peer hash locking vs RCU callback
In its address list, afs now retains pointers to and refs on one or more
rxrpc_peer objects.  The address list is freed under RCU and at this time,
it puts the refs on those peers.

Now, when an rxrpc_peer object runs out of refs, it gets removed from the
peer hash table and, for that, rxrpc has to take a spinlock.  However, it
is now being called from afs's RCU cleanup, which takes place in BH
context - but it is just taking an ordinary spinlock.

The put may also be called from non-BH context, and so there exists the
possibility of deadlock if the BH-based RCU cleanup happens whilst the hash
spinlock is held.  This led to the attached lockdep complaint.

Fix this by changing spinlocks of rxnet->peer_hash_lock back to
BH-disabling locks.

David HowellsandJakub Kicinski b40ef2b85a rxrpc: Manage RTT per-call rather than per-peer
Manage the determination of RTT on a per-call (ie. per-RPC op) basis rather
than on a per-peer basis, averaging across all calls going to that peer.
The problem is that the RTT measurements from the initial packets on a call
may be off because the server may do some setting up (such as getting a
lock on a file) before accepting the rest of the data in the RPC and,
further, the RTT may be affected by server-side file operations, for
instance if a large amount of data is being written or read.

Note: When handling the FS.StoreData-type RPCs, for example, the server
uses the userStatus field in the header of ACK packets as supplementary
flow control to aid in managing this.  AF_RXRPC does not yet support this,
but it should be added.

David HowellsandJakub Kicinski eeaedc5449 rxrpc: Implement path-MTU probing using padded PING ACKs (RFC8899)
Implement path-MTU probing (along the lines of RFC8899) by padding some of
the PING ACKs we send.  PING ACKs get their own individual responses quite
apart from the acking of data (though, as ACKs, they fulfil that role
also).

The probing concentrates on packet sizes that correspond how many
subpackets can be stuffed inside a jumbo packet as jumbo DATA packets are
just aggregations of individual DATA packets and can be split easily for
retransmission purposes.

If we want to perform probing, we advertise this by setting the maximum
number of jumbo subpackets to 0 in the ack trailer when we send an ACK and
see if the peer is also advertising the service.  This is interpreted by
non-supporting Rx stacks as an indication that jumbo packets aren't
supported.

The MTU sizes advertised in the ACK trailer AF_RXRPC transmits are pegged
at a maximum of 1444 unless pmtud is supported by both sides.

David Howells 72904d7b9b rxrpc, afs: Allow afs to pin rxrpc_peer objects
Change rxrpc's API such that:

 (1) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer(), is provided to look up an
     rxrpc_peer record for a remote address and a corresponding function,
     rxrpc_kernel_put_peer(), is provided to dispose of it again.

 (2) When setting up a call, the rxrpc_peer object used during a call is
     now passed in rather than being set up by rxrpc_connect_call().  For
     afs, this meenat passing it to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() rather than
     the full address (the service ID then has to be passed in as a
     separate parameter).

 (3) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr(), is added so that afs can
     get a pointer to the transport address for display purposed, and
     another, rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx(), to gain a pointer to the full
     rxrpc address.

 (4) The function to retrieve the RTT from a call, rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt(),
     is then altered to take a peer.  This now returns the RTT or -1 if
     there are insufficient samples.

 (5) Rename rxrpc_kernel_get_peer() to rxrpc_kernel_call_get_peer().

 (6) Provide a new function, rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(), to get a ref on a
     peer the caller already has.

This allows the afs filesystem to pin the rxrpc_peer records that it is
using, allowing faster lookups and pointer comparisons rather than
comparing sockaddr_rxrpc contents.  It also makes it easier to get hold of
the RTT.  The following changes are made to afs:

 (1) The addr_list struct's addrs[] elements now hold a peer struct pointer
     and a service ID rather than a sockaddr_rxrpc.

 (2) When displaying the transport address, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr() is
     used.

 (3) The port arg is removed from afs_alloc_addrlist() since it's always
     overridden.

 (4) afs_merge_fs_addr4() and afs_merge_fs_addr6() do peer lookup and may
     now return an error that must be handled.

 (5) afs_find_server() now takes a peer pointer to specify the address.

 (6) afs_find_server(), afs_compare_fs_alists() and afs_merge_fs_addr[46]{}
     now do peer pointer comparison rather than address comparison.

David HowellsandDavid S. Miller 608aecd16a rxrpc: Fix locking issues in rxrpc_put_peer_locked()
Now that rxrpc_put_local() may call kthread_stop(), it can't be called
under spinlock as it might sleep.  This can cause a problem in the peer
keepalive code in rxrpc as it tries to avoid dropping the peer_hash_lock
from the point it needs to re-add peer->keepalive_link to going round the
loop again in rxrpc_peer_keepalive_dispatch().

Fix this by just dropping the lock when we don't need it and accepting that
we'll have to take it again.  This code is only called about every 20s for
each peer, so not very often.

This allows rxrpc_put_peer_unlocked() to be removed also.

If triggered, this bug produces an oops like the following, as reproduced
by a syzbot reproducer for a different oops[1]:

David Howells 1fc4fa2ac9 rxrpc: Fix congestion management
rxrpc has a problem in its congestion management in that it saves the
congestion window size (cwnd) from one call to another, but if this is 0 at
the time is saved, then the next call may not actually manage to ever
transmit anything.

To this end:

 (1) Don't save cwnd between calls, but rather reset back down to the
     initial cwnd and re-enter slow-start if data transmission is idle for
     more than an RTT.

 (2) Preserve ssthresh instead, as that is a handy estimate of pipe
     capacity.  Knowing roughly when to stop slow start and enter
     congestion avoidance can reduce the tendency to overshoot and drop
     larger amounts of packets when probing.

In future, cwind growth also needs to be constrained when the window isn't
being filled due to being application limited.

David Howells c410bf0193 rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeout
rxrpc currently uses a fixed 4s retransmission timeout until the RTT is
sufficiently sampled.  This can cause problems with some fileservers with
calls to the cache manager in the afs filesystem being dropped from the
fileserver because a packet goes missing and the retransmission timeout is
greater than the call expiry timeout.

Fix this by:

 (1) Copying the RTT/RTO calculation code from Linux's TCP implementation
     and altering it to fit rxrpc.

 (2) Altering the various users of the RTT to make use of the new SRTT
     value.

 (3) Replacing the use of rxrpc_resend_timeout to use the calculated RTO
     value instead (which is needed in jiffies), along with a backoff.

Notes:

 (1) rxrpc provides RTT samples by matching the serial numbers on outgoing
     DATA packets that have the RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK set and PING ACK packets
     against the reference serial number in incoming REQUESTED ACK and
     PING-RESPONSE ACK packets.

 (2) Each packet that is transmitted on an rxrpc connection gets a new
     per-connection serial number, even for retransmissions, so an ACK can
     be cross-referenced to a specific trigger packet.  This allows RTT
     information to be drawn from retransmitted DATA packets also.

 (3) rxrpc maintains the RTT/RTO state on the rxrpc_peer record rather than
     on an rxrpc_call because many RPC calls won't live long enough to
     generate more than one sample.

 (4) The calculated SRTT value is in units of 8ths of a microsecond rather
     than nanoseconds.

The (S)RTT and RTO values are displayed in /proc/net/rxrpc/peers.
