Gerrit Renker d14a0ebda7 net-2.6 [Bug-Fix][dccp]: fix oops caused after failed initialisation
dccp: fix panic caused by failed initialisation

This fixes a kernel panic reported thanks to Andre Noll:

if DCCP is compiled into the kernel and any out of the initialisation
steps in net/dccp/proto.c:dccp_init() fail, a subsequent attempt to create
a SOCK_DCCP socket will panic, since inet{,6}_create() are not prevented
from creating DCCP sockets.

This patch fixes the problem by propagating a failure in dccp_init() to
dccp_v{4,6}_init_net(), and from there to dccp_v{4,6}_init(), so that the
DCCP protocol is not made available if its initialisation fails.

Tejun Heo 7d720c3e4f percpu: add __percpu sparse annotations to net
Add __percpu sparse annotations to net.

These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be
in a different address space and warn if accessed without going
through percpu accessors.  This patch doesn't affect normal builds.

The macro and type tricks around snmp stats make things a bit
interesting.  DEFINE/DECLARE_SNMP_STAT() macros mark the target field
as __percpu and SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS() macro is updated accordingly.  All
snmp_mib_*() users which used to cast the argument to (void **) are
updated to cast it to (void __percpu **).

Gerrit Renker 55d955902a dccp: support for passing MSG_TRUNC
DCCP is datagram-oriented but lacks UDP's support for MSG_TRUNC as defined in
recvmsg(2)/recv(2). Hence the following 'Hello world\0' receiver

  len = recv(fd, buf, 10, MSG_PEEK | MSG_TRUNC);

wrongly (always) returns 10, while in UDP it returns 12 as expected.
This patch adds the missing MSG_TRUNC support to recvmsg().

Gerrit Renker 69a6a0b38a dccp: allow probing of CCID-array length
This fixes a problem in the DCCP getsockopt() API: currently there is no way
for a user to a priori know the number of built-in CCIDs, other than trying
DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS in a loop, incrementing the option length until
EINVAL is no longer returned.

This patch truncates the array to the user-provided length. No copy is made
when the length is <= 0.

Due to the length restriction in do_dccp_getsockopt() to sizeof(int), the
minimum array length remains 4, which is a reasonable default (only 3
CCIDs, CCID-2..4, are currently defined).

It fixes the construction of the first argument of try_then_request_module(),

What we do now is assign the result of register_jprobe() to ret, without
the side effect of the comparison.

Gerrit Renker 8ed030dd0a dccp: fix bug in cache allocation
This fixes a bug introduced in commit de4ef86cfc
("dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slub", 17 Jan): the
vsnprintf used sizeof(slab_name_fmt), which became truncated to 4 bytes, since
slab_name_fmt is now a 4-byte pointer and no longer a 32-character array.

This lead to error messages such as
 FATAL: Error inserting dccp: No buffer space available

 >> kernel: [ 1456.341501] kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache cci
generated due to the truncation after the 3rd character.

Fixed for the moment by introducing a symbolic constant. Tested to fix the bug.

Neil Horman de4ef86cfc dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slub
Hey all-
	I was tinkering with dccp recently and noticed that I BUG halted the
kernel when I rmmod-ed the dccp module.  The bug halt occured because the page
that I passed to kfree failed the PageCompound and PageSlab test in the slub
implementation of kfree.  I tracked the problem down to the following set of
events:

1) dccp, unlike all other uses of kmem_cache_create, allocates a string
dynamically when registering a slab cache.  This allocated string is freed when
the cache is destroyed.

2) Normally, (1) is not an issue, but when Slub is in use, it is possible that
caches are 'merged'.  This process causes multiple caches of simmilar
configuration to use the same cache data structure.  When this happens, the new
name of the cache is effectively dropped.

3) (2) results in kmem_cache_name returning an ambigous value (i.e.
ccid_kmem_cache_destroy, which uses this fuction to retrieve the name pointer
for freeing), is no longer guaranteed that the string it assigned is what is
returned.

4) If such merge event occurs, ccid_kmem_cache_destroy frees the wrong pointer,
which trips over the BUG in the slub implementation of kfree (since its likely
not a slab allocation, but rather a pointer into the static string table
section.

So, what to do about this.  At first blush this is pretty clearly a leak in the
information that slub owns, and as such a slub bug.  Unfortunately, theres no
really good way to fix it, without exposing slub specific implementation details
to the generic slab interface.  Also, even if we could fix this in slub cleanly,
I think the RCU free option would force us to do lots of string duplication, not
only in slub, but in every slab allocator.  As such, I'd like to propose this
solution.  Basically, I just move the storage for the kmem cache name to the
ccid_operations structure.  In so doing, we don't have to do the kstrdup or
kfree when we allocate/free the various caches for dccp, and so we avoid the
problem, by storing names with static memory, rather than heap, the way all
other calls to kmem_cache_create do.

I've tested this out myself here, and it solves the problem quite well.

Neil Horman 38ff3e6bb9 dccp_probe: Fix module load dependencies between dccp and dccp_probe
This was just recently reported to me.  When built as modules, the
dccp_probe module has a silent dependency on the dccp module.  This
stems from the fact that the module_init routine of dccp_probe
registers a jprobe on the dccp_sendmsg symbol.  Since the symbol is
only referenced as a text string (the .symbol_name field in the jprobe
struct) rather than the address of the symbol itself, depmod never
picks this dependency up, and so if you load the dccp_probe module
without the dccp module loaded, the register_jprobe call fails with an
-EINVAL, and the whole module load fails.

The fix is pretty easy, we can just wrap the register_jprobe call in a
try_then_request_module call, which forces the dependency to get
satisfied prior to the probe registration.

Stefani Seibold 4546548789 kfifo: move struct kfifo in place
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.

The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains.  Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.

I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:

 - The API is to simple, important functions are missing
 - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
 - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
 - There is no support for data records inside a fifo

So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much.  The new API has the following benefits:

 - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
 - Provide an API for the most use case.
 - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
 - Linux style habit.
 - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
 - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
 - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
   indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
 - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
   which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
 - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
   one is required.
 - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
   - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
     field of 1 bytes.
   - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
     field of 2 bytes.
   - Fixed size records, which no record size field.
 - Preserve memory resource.
 - Performance!
 - Easy to use!

This patch:

Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure.  This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them.  This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

Gerrit Renker b1c00fe3cf dccp ccid-2: Overhaul CCID naming convention 1/2
This patch starts a less problematic naming convention for CCID structs.

The old naming convention used 'hc{tx,rx}->ccid?hc{tx,rx}->...' as
recurring prefixes, which made the code
 * hard to write (not easy to fit into 80 characters);
 * hard to read  (most of the space is occupied by prefixes).

The new naming scheme:
 * struct entries for the TX socket are prefixed by 'tx_';
 * and those for the RX socket are prefixed by 'rx_'.

The identifiers then remain distinguishable when grep-ing through the tree:
 (a) RX/TX sockets are distinguished by the naming scheme,
 (b) individual CCIDs are distinguished by filename (ccid{2,3,4}.{c,h}).

This first patch implements the scheme for CCID-2.

Mel Gorman 1c29b3ff4f net-dccp: suppress warning about large allocations from DCCP
The DCCP protocol tries to allocate some large hash tables during
initialisation using the largest size possible.  This can be larger than
what the page allocator can provide so it prints a warning.  However, the
caller is able to handle the situation so this patch suppresses the
warning.

Jiri Olsa a57de0b433 net: adding memory barrier to the poll and receive callbacks
Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper
to wrap the memory barrier.

Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt
and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.

CPU1                         CPU2

sys_select                   receive packet
  ...                        ...
  __add_wait_queue           update tp->rcv_nxt
  ...                        ...
  tp->rcv_nxt check          sock_def_readable
  ...                        {
  schedule                      ...
                                if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
                                        wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
                                ...
                             }

If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.

Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.

The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side.  The CPU1 will then
endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
socket.

	net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c

Gerrit Renker 86739fb96e dccp: Do not let initial option overhead shrink the MPS
This fixes a problem caused by the overlap of the connection-setup and
established-state phases of DCCP connections.

During connection setup, the client retransmits Confirm Feature-Negotiation
options until a response from the server signals that it can move from the
half-established PARTOPEN into the OPEN state, whereupon the connection is
fully established on both ends (RFC 4340, 8.1.5).

However, since the client may already send data while it is in the PARTOPEN
state, consequences arise for the Maximum Packet Size: the problem is that the
initial option overhead is much higher than for the subsequent established
phase, as it involves potentially many variable-length list-type options
(server-priority options, RFC 4340, 6.4).

Applying the standard MPS is insufficient here: especially with larger
payloads this can lead to annoying, counter-intuitive EMSGSIZE errors.

On the other hand, reducing the MPS available for the established phase by
the added initial overhead is highly wasteful and inefficient.

The solution chosen therefore is a two-phase strategy:

   If the payload length of the DataAck in PARTOPEN is too large, an Ack is sent
   to carry the options, and the feature-negotiation list is then flushed.

   This means that the server gets two Acks for one Response. If both Acks get
   lost, it is probably better to restart the connection anyway and devising yet
   another special-case does not seem worth the extra complexity.

The result is a higher utilisation of the available packet space for the data
transmission phase (established state) of a connection.

The patch (over-)estimates the initial overhead to be 32*4 bytes -- commonly
seen values were around 90 bytes for initial feature-negotiation options.

It uses sizeof(u32) to mean "aligned units of 4 bytes".
For consistency, another use of 4-byte alignment is adapted.

Gerrit Renker 361a5c1dd0 dccp: Minimise header option overhead in setting the MPS
This patch resolves a long-standing FIXME to dynamically update the Maximum
Packet Size depending on actual options usage.

It uses the flags set by the feature-negotiation infrastructure to compute
the required header option size.

Most options are fixed-size, a notable exception are Ack Vectors (required
currently only by CCID-2). These can have any length between 3 and 1020
bytes. As a result of testing, 16 bytes (2 bytes for type/length plus 14 Ack
Vector cells) have been found to be sufficient for loss-free situations.

There are currently no CCID-specific header options which may appear on data
packets, thus it is not necessary to define a corresponding CCID field as
suggested in the old comment.

Further changes:
----------------
 Adjusted the type of 'cur_mps' to match the unsigned return type of the
 function.

Gerrit Renker 883ca833e5 dccp: Initialisation and type-checking of feature sysctls
This patch takes care of initialising and type-checking sysctls
related to feature negotiation. Type checking is important since some
of the sysctls now directly impact the feature-negotiation process.

The sysctls are initialised with the known default values for each
feature.  For the type-checking the value constraints from RFC 4340
are used:

 * Sequence Window uses the specified Wmin=32, the maximum is ulong (4 bytes),
   tested and confirmed that it works up to 4294967295 - for Gbps speed;
 * Ack Ratio is between 0 .. 0xffff (2-byte unsigned integer);
 * CCIDs are between 0 .. 255;
 * request_retries, retries1, retries2 also between 0..255 for good measure;
 * tx_qlen is checked to be non-negative;
 * sync_ratelimit remains as before.

Notes:
------
 1. Die s@sysctl_dccp_feat@sysctl_dccp@g since the sysctls are now in feat.c.
 2. As pointed out by Arnaldo, the pattern of type-checking repeats itself in
    other places, sometimes with exactly the same kind of definitions (e.g.
    "static int zero;"). It may be a good idea (kernel janitors?) to consolidate
    type checking. For the sake of keeping the changeset small and in order not
    to affect other subsystems, I have not strived to generalise here.
