In commit 04d7b574b2 ("tipc: add multipoint-to-point flow control") we
introduced a protocol for preventing buffer overflow when many group
members try to simultaneously send messages to the same receiving member.
Stress test of this mechanism has revealed a couple of related bugs:
- When the receiving member receives an advertisement REMIT message from
one of the senders, it will sometimes prematurely activate a pending
member and send it the remitted advertisement, although the upper
limit for active senders has been reached. This leads to accumulation
of illegal advertisements, and eventually to messages being dropped
because of receive buffer overflow.
- When the receiving member leaves REMITTED state while a received
message is being read, we miss to look at the pending queue, to
activate the oldest pending peer. This leads to some pending senders
being starved out, and never getting the opportunity to profit from
the remitted advertisement.
We fix the former in the function tipc_group_proto_rcv() by returning
directly from the function once it becomes clear that the remitting
peer cannot leave REMITTED state at that point.
We fix the latter in the function tipc_group_update_rcv_win() by looking
up and activate the longest pending peer when it becomes clear that the
remitting peer now can leave REMITTED state.

In commit 42b531de17 ("tipc: Fix missing connection request
handling"), we replaced unconditional wakeup() with condtional
wakeup for clients with flags POLLIN | POLLRDNORM | POLLRDBAND.
This breaks the applications which do a connect followed by poll
with POLLOUT flag. These applications are not woken when the
connection is ESTABLISHED and hence sleep forever.
In this commit, we fix it by including the POLLOUT event for
sockets in TIPC_CONNECTING state.

When a group member receives a member WITHDRAW event, this might have
two reasons: either the peer member is leaving the group, or the link
to the member's node has been lost.
In the latter case we need to issue a DOWN event to the user right away,
and let function tipc_group_filter_msg() perform delete of the member
item. However, in this case we miss to change the state of the member
item to MBR_LEAVING, so the member item is not deleted, and we have a
memory leak.
We now separate better between the four sub-cases of a WITHRAW event
and make sure that each case is handled correctly.

In commit 2f487712b8 ("tipc: guarantee that group broadcast doesn't
bypass group unicast") we introduced a mechanism that requires the first
(replicated) broadcast sent after a unicast to be acknowledged by all
receivers before permitting sending of the next (true) broadcast.
The counter for keeping track of the number of acknowledges to expect
is based on the tipc_group::member_cnt variable. But this misses that
some of the known members may not be ready for reception, and will never
acknowledge the message, either because they haven't fully joined the
group or because they are leaving the group. Such members are identified
by not fulfilling the condition tested for in the function
tipc_group_is_enabled().
We now set the counter for the actual number of acks to receive at the
moment the message is sent, by just counting the number of recipients
satisfying the tipc_group_is_enabled() test.

When we receive a JOIN message from a peer member, the message may
contain an advertised window value ADV_IDLE that permits removing the
member in question from the tipc_group::congested list. However, since
the removal has been made conditional on that the advertised window is
*not* ADV_IDLE, we miss this case. This has the effect that a sender
sometimes may enter a state of permanent, false, broadcast congestion.
We fix this by unconditinally removing the member from the congested
list before calling tipc_member_update(), which might potentially sort
it into the list again.

When, during a join operation, or during message transmission, a group
member needs to be added to the group's 'congested' list, we sort it
into the list in ascending order, according to its current advertised
window size. However, we miss the case when the member is already on
that list. This will have the result that the member, after the window
size has been decremented, might be at the wrong position in that list.
This again may have the effect that we during broadcast and multicast
transmissions miss the fact that a destination is not yet ready for
reception, and we end up sending anyway. From this point on, the
behavior during the remaining session is unpredictable, e.g., with
underflowing window sizes.
We now correct this bug by unconditionally removing the member from
the list before (re-)sorting it in.

A group member going into state LEAVING should never go back to any
other state before it is finally deleted. However, this might happen
if the socket needs to send out a RECLAIM message during this interval.
Since we forget to remove the leaving member from the group's 'active'
or 'pending' list, the member might be selected for reclaiming, change
state to RECLAIMING, and get stuck in this state instead of being
deleted. This might lead to suppression of the expected 'member down'
event to the receiver.
We fix this by removing the member from all lists, except the RB tree,
at the moment it goes into state LEAVING.

Group messages are not supposed to be returned to sender when the
destination socket disappears. This is done correctly for regular
traffic messages, by setting the 'dest_droppable' bit in the header.
But we forget to do that in group protocol messages. This has the effect
that such messages may sometimes bounce back to the sender, be perceived
as a legitimate peer message, and wreak general havoc for the rest of
the session. In particular, we have seen that a member in state LEAVING
may go back to state RECLAIMED or REMITTED, hence causing suppression
of an otherwise expected 'member down' event to the user.
We fix this by setting the 'dest_droppable' bit even in group protocol
messages.

When the function tipc_group_filter_msg() finds that a member event
indicates that the member is leaving the group, it first deletes the
member instance, and then purges the message queue being handled

just deleted item, leading the purge call to access freed memory.
We fix this by swapping the order of the two actions.

The socket level flow control is based on the assumption that incoming
buffers meet the condition (skb->truesize / roundup(skb->len) <= 4),
where the latter value is rounded off upwards to the nearest 1k number.
This does empirically hold true for the device drivers we know, but we
cannot trust that it will always be so, e.g., in a system with jumbo
frames and very small packets.
We now introduce a check for this condition at packet arrival, and if
we find it to be false, we copy the packet to a new, smaller buffer,
where the condition will be true. We expect this to affect only a small
fraction of all incoming packets, if at all.

Currently, the TIPC RPS dissector is based only on the incoming packets'
source node address, hence steering all traffic from a node to the same
core. We have seen that this makes the links vulnerable to starvation
and unnecessary resets when we turn down the link tolerance to very low
values.
To reduce the risk of this happening, we exempt probe and probe replies
packets from the convergence to one core per source node. Instead, we do
the opposite, - we try to diverge those packets across as many cores as
possible, by randomizing the flow selector key.
To make such packets identifiable to the dissector, we add a new
'is_keepalive' bit to word 0 of the LINK_PROTOCOL header. This bit is
set both for PROBE and PROBE_REPLY messages, and only for those.
It should be noted that these packets are not part of any flow anyway,
and only constitute a minuscule fraction of all packets sent across a
link. Hence, there is no risk that this will affect overall performance.

The neighbor monitor employs a threshold, default set to 32 peer nodes,
where it activates the "Overlapping Neighbor Monitoring" algorithm.
Below that threshold, monitoring is full-mesh, and no "domain records"
are passed between the nodes.
Because of this, a node never received a peer's ack that it has received
the most recent update of the own domain. Hence, the field 'acked_gen'
in struct tipc_monitor_state remains permamently at zero, whereas the
own domain generation is incremented for each added or removed peer.
This has the effect that the function tipc_mon_get_state() always sets
the field 'probing' in struct tipc_monitor_state true, again leading the
tipc_link_timeout() of the link in question to always send out a probe,
even when link->silent_intv_count is zero.
This is functionally harmless, but leads to some unncessary probing,
which can easily be eliminated by setting the 'probing' field of the
said struct correctly in such cases.
At the same time, we explictly invalidate the sent domain records when
the algorithm is not activated. This will eliminate any risk that an
invalid domain record might be inadverently accepted by the peer.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
