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.

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).

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
count at exit" to occur instead.
Probably lock_sock() and release_sock() should have annotations on
indicating their taking of sk_lock - there is a dep_map in socket_lock_t,
but I don't know if that matters to the static checker.

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().

When an rxrpc call is in its transmission phase and is sending a lot of
packets, stalls occasionally occur that cause severe performance
degradation (eg. increasing the transmission time for a 256MiB payload from
0.7s to 2.5s over a 10G link).
rxrpc already implements TCP-style congestion control [RFC5681] and this
helps mitigate the effects, but occasionally we're missing a time event
that deals with a missing ACK, leading to a stall until the RTO expires.
Fix this by implementing RACK/TLP in rxrpc.

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.

buffers in bunches of 32 or 64 (BITS_PER_LONG) we can place sets of

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.

Starvation can happen in the rxrpc I/O thread because it goes back to the
top of the I/O loop after it does any one thing without trying to give any
other connection or call CPU time. Also, because it processes one call
packet at a time, it tries to do the retransmission loop after each ACK
without checking to see if there are other ACKs already in the queue that
can update the SACK state.
Fix this by:
(1) Add a received-packet queue on each call.
(2) Distribute packets from the master Rx queue to the individual call,
conn and error queues and 'poking' calls to add them to the attend
queue first thing in the I/O thread.
(3) Go through all the attention-seeking connections and calls before
going back to the top of the I/O thread. Each queue is extracted as a
whole and then gone through so that new additions to insert themselves
into the queue.
(4) Make the call event handler go through all the packets currently on
the call's rx_queue before transmitting and retransmitting DATA
packets.
(5) Drop the skb argument from the call event handler as this is now
replaced with the rx_queue. Instead, keep track of whether we
received a packet or an ACK for the tests that used to rely on that.

Make the following fixes to the congestion control algorithm:
(1) Don't vary the cwnd starting value by the size of RXRPC_TX_SMSS since
that's currently held constant - set to the size of a jumbo subpacket
payload so that we can create jumbo packets on the fly. The current
code invariably picks 3 as the starting value.
Further, the starting cwnd needs to be an even number because we ack
every other packet, so set it to 4.
(2) Don't cut ssthresh when we see an ACK come from the peer with a
receive window (rwind) less than ssthresh. ssthresh keeps track of
characteristics of the connection whereas rwind may be reduced by the
peer for any reason - and may be reduced to 0.

Fix the counting of new acks and nacks when parsing a packet - something
that is used in congestion control.
As the code stands, it merely notes if there are any nacks whereas what we
really should do is compare the previous SACK table to the new one,
assuming we get two successive ACK packets with nacks in them. However, we
really don't want to do that if we can avoid it as the tables might not
correspond directly as one may be shifted from the other - something that
will only get harder to deal with once extended ACK tables come into full
use (with a capacity of up to 8192).
Instead, count the number of nacks shifted out of the old SACK, the number
of nacks retained in the portion still active and the number of new acks
and nacks in the new table then calculate what we need.
Note this ends up a bit of an estimate as the Rx protocol allows acks to be
withdrawn by the receiver and packets requested to be retransmitted.

Core & protocols
----------------
- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up
build time warnings to safeguard against future header changes.
This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections
up to 40%.
- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the
memory usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify
bad PP users and possible leaks.
- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set.
This lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having
many active connections to the same destination.
- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs.
- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to
allow arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF.
- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value
to 128KB and namespecifying it.
- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations.
- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time.
- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries.
- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first.
- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer.
- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex).
- More data-race annotations.
- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets.
- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions.
- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID.
- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support.
- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type.
BPF
---
- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers. It
improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single
digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes
- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload.
- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y.
- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques.
- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs.
- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is identified
by its id.
- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value field
obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in sched_ext.
- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter.
- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints.
- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project
is developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter).
Misc
----
- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution.
- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage.
- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features.
- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to
avoid random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent
runs.
- Add TCP-AO self-tests.
- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211.
- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec.
- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the
tool can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families
for which we have specs.
- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes.
- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool.
Driver API
----------
- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust.
- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship.

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.

afs_make_call() calls rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() to begin a call (which may
get stalled in the background waiting for a connection to become
available); it then calls rxrpc_kernel_set_max_life() to set the timeouts -
but that starts the call timer so the call timer might then expire before
we get a connection assigned - leading to the following oops if the call
stalled:

Fix this by noting the timeouts in struct rxrpc_call when the call is
created. The timer will be started when the first packet is transmitted.
It shouldn't be possible to trigger this directly from userspace through
AF_RXRPC as sendmsg() will return EBUSY if the call is in the
waiting-for-conn state if it dropped out of the wait due to a signal.

Move the connection setup of client calls to the I/O thread so that a whole
load of locking and barrierage can be eliminated. This necessitates the
app thread waiting for connection to complete before it can begin
encrypting data.
This also completes the 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

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.

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.

Move DATA transmission into the call processor work item. In a future
patch, this will be called from the I/O thread rather than being itsown
work item.
This will allow DATA transmission to be driven directly by incoming ACKs,
pokes and timers as those are processed.
The Tx queue is also split: The queue of packets prepared by sendmsg is now
places in call->tx_sendmsg and the packet dispatcher decants the packets
into call->tx_buffer as space becomes available in the transmission
window. This allows sendmsg to run ahead of the available space to try and
prevent an underflow in transmission.

Currently, rxrpc gives the call timer a ref on the call when it starts it
and this is passed along to the workqueue by the timer expiration function.
The problem comes when queue_work() fails (ie. the work item is already
queued): the timer routine must put the ref - but this may cause the
cleanup code to run.
This has the unfortunate effect that the cleanup code may then be run in
softirq context - which means that any spinlocks it might need to touch
have to be guarded to disable softirqs (ie. they need a "_bh" suffix).
Fix this by:
(1) Don't give a ref to the timer.
(2) Making the expiration function not do anything if the refcount is 0.
Note that this is more of an optimisation.
(3) Make sure that the cleanup routine waits for timer to complete.
However, this has a consequence that timer cannot give a ref to the work
item. Therefore the following fixes are also necessary:
(4) Don't give a ref to the work item.
(5) Make the work item return asap if it sees the ref count is 0.
(6) Make sure that the cleanup routine waits for the work item to
complete.
Unfortunately, neither the timer nor the work item can simply get around
the problem by just using refcount_inc_not_zero() as the waits would still
have to be done, and there would still be the possibility of having to put
the ref in the expiration function.
Note the call work item is going to go away with the work being transferred
to the I/O thread, so the wait in (6) will become obsolete.
