This improves the fix for CVE-2026-43500.
Fix the pagecache corruption from in-place decryption of a DATA packet
transmitted locally by splice() by getting rid of the packet sharing in the
I/O thread and unconditionally extracting the packet content into a bounce
buffer in which the buffer is decrypted. recvmsg() (or the kernel
equivalent) then copies the data from the bounce buffer to the destination
buffer. The sk_buff then remains unmodified.
This has an additional advantage in that the packet is then arranged in the
buffer with the correct alignment required for the crypto algorithms to
process directly. The performance of the crypto does seem to be a little
faster and, surprisingly, the unencrypted performance doesn't seem to
change much - possibly due to removing complexity from the I/O thread.
Yet another advantage is that the I/O thread doesn't have to copy packets
which would slow down packet distribution, ACK generation, etc..
The buffer belongs to the call and is allocated initially at 2K,
sufficiently large to hold a whole jumbo subpacket, but the buffer will be
increased in size if needed. However, to take this work, MSG_PEEK may
cause a later packet to be decrypted into the buffer, in which case the
earlier one will need re-decrypting for a subsequent recvmsg().
Note that rx_pkt_offset may legitimately see 0 as a valid offset now, so
switch to using USHRT_MAX to indicate an invalid offset.
Note also that I would generally prefer to replace the buffers of the
current sk_buff with a new kmalloc'd buffer of the right size, ditching the
old data and frags as this makes the handling of MSG_PEEK easier and
removes the re-decryption issue, but this looks like quite a complicated
thing to achieve. skb_morph() looks half way to what I want, but I don't
want to have to allocate a new sk_buff.

If rxrpc_recvmsg() fails because MSG_DONTWAIT was specified but the call at
the front of the recvmsg queue already has its mutex locked, it requeues
the call - whether or not the call is already queued. The call may be on
the queue because MSG_PEEK was also passed and so the call was not dequeued
or because the I/O thread requeued it.
The unconditional requeue may then corrupt the recvmsg queue, leading to
things like UAFs or refcount underruns.
Fix this by only requeuing the call if it isn't already on the queue - and
moving it to the front if it is already queued. If we don't queue it, we
have to put the ref we obtained by dequeuing it.
Also, MSG_PEEK doesn't dequeue the call so shouldn't call
rxrpc_notify_socket() for the call if we didn't use up all the data on the
queue, so fix that also.

When a call is released, rxrpc takes the spinlock and removes it from
->recvmsg_q in an effort to prevent racing recvmsg() invocations from
seeing the same call. Now, rxrpc_recvmsg() only takes the spinlock when
actually removing a call from the queue; it doesn't, however, take it in
the lead up to that when it checks to see if the queue is empty. It *does*
hold the socket lock, which prevents a recvmsg/recvmsg race - but this
doesn't prevent sendmsg from ending the call because sendmsg() drops the
socket lock and relies on the call->user_mutex.
Fix this by firstly removing the bit in rxrpc_release_call() that dequeues
the released call and, instead, rely on recvmsg() to simply discard
released calls (done in a preceding fix).
Secondly, rxrpc_notify_socket() is abandoned if the call is already marked
as released rather than trying to be clever by setting both pointers in
call->recvmsg_link to NULL to trick list_empty(). This isn't perfect and
can still race, resulting in a released call on the queue, but recvmsg()
will now clean that up.

If a call receives an event (such as incoming data), the call gets placed
on the socket's queue and a thread in recvmsg can be awakened to go and
process it. Once the thread has picked up the call off of the queue,
further events will cause it to be requeued, and once the socket lock is
dropped (recvmsg uses call->user_mutex to allow the socket to be used in
parallel), a second thread can come in and its recvmsg can pop the call off
the socket queue again.
In such a case, the first thread will be receiving stuff from the call and
the second thread will be blocked on call->user_mutex. The first thread
can, at this point, process both the event that it picked call for and the
event that the second thread picked the call for and may see the call
terminate - in which case the call will be "released", decoupling the call
from the user call ID assigned to it (RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID in the control
message).
The first thread will return okay, but then the second thread will wake up
holding the user_mutex and, if it sees that the call has been released by
the first thread, it will BUG thusly:
kernel BUG at net/rxrpc/recvmsg.c:474!
Fix this by just dequeuing the call and ignoring it if it is seen to be
already released. We can't tell userspace about it anyway as the user call
ID has become stale.

Fix three cases of overproduction of wakeups:
(1) rxrpc_input_split_jumbo() conditionally notifies the app that there's
data for recvmsg() to collect if it queues some data - and then its
only caller, rxrpc_input_data(), goes and wakes up recvmsg() anyway.
Fix the rxrpc_input_data() to only do the wakeup in failure cases.
(2) If a DATA packet is received for a call by the I/O thread whilst
recvmsg() is busy draining the call's rx queue in the app thread, the
call will left on the recvmsg() queue for recvmsg() to pick up, even
though there isn't any data on it.
This can cause an unexpected recvmsg() with a 0 return and no MSG_EOR
set after the reply has been posted to a service call.
Fix this by discarding pending calls from the recvmsg() queue that
don't need servicing yet.
(3) Not-yet-completed calls get requeued after having data read from them,
even if they have no data to read.
Fix this by only requeuing them if they have data waiting on them; if
they don't, the I/O thread will requeue them when data arrives or they
fail.

rxrpc_recvmsg_data() schedules an ACK to be transmitted every time at least
two packets have been consumed and any time it runs out of data and would
return -EAGAIN to the caller. Both events may occur within a single loop,
however, and if the I/O thread is quick enough it may send duplicate ACKs.
The ACKs are sent to inform the peer that more space has been made in the
local Rx window, but the I/O thread is going to send an ACK every couple of
DATA packets anyway, so we end up sending a lot more ACKs than we really
need to.
So reduce the rate at which recvmsg() schedules ACKs, such that if the I/O
thread sends ACKs at its normal faster rate, recvmsg() won't actually
schedule ACKs until the Rx flow stops (call->rx_consumed is cleared any
time we transmit an ACK for that call, resetting the counter used by
recvmsg).

Move the call state changes that are made in rxrpc_recvmsg() to the I/O
thread. This means that, thenceforth, only the I/O thread does this and
the call state lock can be removed.
This requires the Rx phase to be ended when the last packet is received,
not when it is processed.
Since this now changes the rxrpc call state to SUCCEEDED before we've
consumed all the data from it, rxrpc_kernel_check_life() mustn't say the
call is dead until the recvmsg queue is empty (unless the call has failed).

Tidy up the abort generation infrastructure in the following ways:
(1) Create an enum and string mapping table to list the reasons an abort
might be generated in tracing.
(2) Replace the 3-char string with the values from (1) in the places that
use that to log the abort source. This gets rid of a memcpy() in the
tracepoint.
(3) Subsume the rxrpc_rx_eproto tracepoint with the rxrpc_abort tracepoint
and use values from (1) to indicate the trace reason.
(4) Always make a call to an abort function at the point of the abort
rather than stashing the values into variables and using goto to get
to a place where it reported. The C optimiser will collapse the calls
together as appropriate. The abort functions return a value that can
be returned directly if appropriate.
Note that this extends into afs also at the points where that generates an
abort. To aid with this, the afs sources need to #define
RXRPC_TRACE_ONLY_DEFINE_ENUMS before including the rxrpc tracing header
because they don't have access to the rxrpc internal structures that some
of the tracepoints make use of.

Only perform call disconnection in the I/O thread to reduce the locking
requirement.
This is the first part of a fix for a race that exists between call
connection and call disconnection whereby the data transmission code adds
the call to the peer error distribution list after the call has been
disconnected (say by the rxrpc socket getting closed).
The fix is to complete the process of moving call connection, data
transmission and call disconnection into the I/O thread and thus forcibly
serialising them.
Note that the issue may predate the overhaul to an I/O thread model that
were included in the merge window for v6.2, but the timing is very much
changed by the change given below.

Move the functions from the call->processor and local->processor work items
into the domain of the I/O thread.
The call event processor, now called from the I/O thread, then takes over
the job of cranking the call state machine, processing incoming packets and
transmitting DATA, ACK and ABORT packets. In a future patch,
rxrpc_send_ACK() will transmit the ACK on the spot rather than queuing it
for later transmission.
The call event processor becomes purely received-skb driven. It only
transmits things in response to events. We use "pokes" to queue a dummy
skb to make it do things like start/resume transmitting data. Timer expiry
also results in pokes.
The connection event processor, becomes similar, though crypto events, such
as dealing with CHALLENGE and RESPONSE packets is offloaded to a work item
to avoid doing crypto in the I/O thread.
The local event processor is removed and VERSION response packets are
generated directly from the packet parser. Similarly, ABORTs generated in
response to protocol errors will be transmitted immediately rather than
being pushed onto a queue for later transmission.
