David HowellsandJakub Kicinski 6a59d84b4f rxrpc: Fix anonymous key handling
In rxrpc_new_client_call_for_sendmsg(), a key with no payload is meant to
be substituted for a NULL key pointer, but the variable this is done with
is subsequently not used.

Fix this by using "key" rather than "rx->key" when filling in the
connection parameters.

Note that this only affects direct use of AF_RXRPC; the kAFS filesystem
doesn't use sendmsg() directly and so bypasses the issue.  Further,
AF_RXRPC passes a NULL key in if no key is set, so using an anonymous key
in that manner works.  Since this hasn't been noticed to this point, it
might be better just to remove the "key" variable and the code that sets it
- and, arguably, rxrpc_init_client_call_security() would be a better place
to handle it.

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 5800b1cf3f rxrpc: Allow CHALLENGEs to the passed to the app for a RESPONSE
Allow the app to request that CHALLENGEs be passed to it through an
out-of-band queue that allows recvmsg() to pick it up so that the app can
add data to it with sendmsg().

This will allow the application (AFS or userspace) to interact with the
process if it wants to and put values into user-defined fields.  This will
be used by AFS when talking to a fileserver to supply that fileserver with
a crypto key by which callback RPCs can be encrypted (ie. notifications
from the fileserver to the client).

David HowellsandJakub Kicinski 019c8433eb rxrpc: Remove some socket lock acquire/release annotations
Remove some socket lock acquire/release annotations as lock_sock() and
release_sock() don't have them and so the checker gets confused.  Removing
all of them, however, causes warnings about "context imbalance" and "wrong

Probably lock_sock() and release_sock() should have annotations on

but I don't know if that matters to the static checker.

David HowellsandJakub Kicinski 06ea2c9c41 rxrpc: Fix alteration of headers whilst zerocopy pending
rxrpc: Fix alteration of headers whilst zerocopy pending

AF_RXRPC now uses MSG_SPLICE_PAGES to do zerocopy of the DATA packets when
it transmits them, but to reduce the number of descriptors required in the
DMA ring, it allocates a space for the protocol header in the memory
immediately before the data content so that it can include both in a single
descriptor.  This is used for either the main RX header or the smaller
jumbo subpacket header as appropriate:

  +----+------+
  | RX |      |
  +-+--+DATA  |
    |JH|      |
    +--+------+

Now, when it stitches a large jumbo packet together from a number of
individual DATA packets (each of which is 1412 bytes of data), it uses the
full RX header from the first and then the jumbo subpacket header for the
rest of the components:

  +---+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+
  |UDP|RX|DATA  |JH|DATA  |JH|DATA  |JH|DATA  |JH|DATA  |JH|DATA  |
  +---+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+

As mentioned, the main RX header and the jumbo header overlay one another
in memory and the formats don't match, so switching from one to the other
means rearranging the fields and adjusting the flags.

However, now that TLP has been included, it wants to retransmit the last
subpacket as a new data packet on its own, which means switching between
the header formats... and if the transmission is still pending, because of
the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, we end up corrupting the jumbo subheader.

This has a variety of effects, with the RX service number overwriting the
jumbo checksum/key number field and the RX checksum overwriting the jumbo
flags - resulting in, at the very least, a confused connection-level abort
from the peer.

Fix this by leaving the jumbo header in the allocation with the data, but
allocating the RX header from the page frag allocator and concocting it on
the fly at the point of transmission as it does for ACK packets.

David HowellsandJakub Kicinski 41b996ce83 rxrpc: Fix call state set to not include the SERVER_SECURING state
The RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_SECURING state doesn't really belong with the other
states in the call's state set as the other states govern the call's Rx/Tx
phase transition and govern when packets can and can't be received or
transmitted.  The "Securing" state doesn't actually govern the reception of
packets and would need to be split depending on whether or not we've
received the last packet yet (to mirror RECV_REQUEST/ACK_REQUEST).

The "Securing" state is more about whether or not we can start forwarding
packets to the application as recvmsg will need to decode them and the
decoding can't take place until the challenge/response exchange has
completed.

Fix this by removing the RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_SECURING state from the state
set and, instead, using a flag, RXRPC_CALL_CONN_CHALLENGING, to track
whether or not we can queue the call for reception by recvmsg() or notify
the kernel app that data is ready.  In the event that we've already
received all the packets, the connection event handler will poke the app
layer in the appropriate manner.

Also there's a race whereby the app layer sees the last packet before rxrpc
has managed to end the rx phase and change the state to one amenable to
allowing a reply.  Fix this by queuing the packet after calling
rxrpc_end_rx_phase().

David HowellsandJakub Kicinski ae4f899894 rxrpc: Fix ability to add more data to a call once MSG_MORE deasserted
When userspace is adding data to an RPC call for transmission, it must pass
MSG_MORE to sendmsg() if it intends to add more data in future calls to
sendmsg().  Calling sendmsg() without MSG_MORE being asserted closes the
transmission phase of the call (assuming sendmsg() adds all the data
presented) and further attempts to add more data should be rejected.

However, this is no longer the case.  The change of call state that was
previously the guard got bumped over to the I/O thread, which leaves a
window for a repeat sendmsg() to insert more data.  This previously went
unnoticed, but the more recent patch that changed the structures behind the
Tx queue added a warning:

        WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 6639 at net/rxrpc/sendmsg.c:296 rxrpc_send_data+0x3f2/0x860

and rejected the additional data, returning error EPROTO.

Fix this by adding a guard flag to the call, setting the flag when we queue
the final packet and then rejecting further attempts to add data with
EPROTO.

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 b341a0263b rxrpc: Implement progressive transmission queue struct
We need to scan the buffers in the transmission queue occasionally when
processing ACKs, but the transmission queue is currently a linked list of
transmission buffers which, when we eventually expand the Tx window to 8192
packets will be very slow to walk.

Instead, pull the fields we need to examine a lot (last sent time,
retransmitted flag) into a new struct rxrpc_txqueue and make each one hold
an array of 32 or 64 packets.

The transmission queue is then a list of these structs, each pointing to a
contiguous set of packets.  Scanning is then a lot faster as the flags and
timestamps are concentrated in the CPU dcache.

The transmission timestamps are stored as a number of microseconds from a
base ktime to reduce memory requirements.  This should be fine provided we
manage to transmit an entire buffer within an hour.

This will make implementing RACK-TLP [RFC8985] easier as it will be less
costly to scan the transmission buffers.

We don't need a barrier for the ->tx_bottom value (which indicates the
lowest sequence still in the transmission queue) and the ->acks_hard_ack
value (which tracks the DATA packets hard-ack'd by the latest ACK packet

app thread doesn't use either value as a reference to memory to access.
Rather, the app thread merely uses these as a guide to how much space is
available in the transmission queue

Change the code to use READ/WRITE_ONCE() instead.

Also, change rxrpc_check_tx_space() to use the same value for tx_bottom
throughout.

     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.
