2018-08-03rxrpc: Push iov_iter up from rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() to callerDavid Howells1-1/+1
Push iov_iter up from rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() to its caller to allow non-contiguous iovs to be passed down, thereby permitting file reading to be simplified in the AFS filesystem in a future patch.

2018-03-27rxrpc, afs: Use debug_ids rather than pointers in tracesDavid Howells1-2/+9
In rxrpc and afs, use the debug_ids that are monotonically allocated to various objects as they're allocated rather than pointers as kernel pointers are now hashed making them less useful. Further, the debug ids aren't reused anywhere nearly as quickly. In addition, allow kernel services that use rxrpc, such as afs, to take numbers from the rxrpc counter, assign them to their own call struct and pass them in to rxrpc for both client and service calls so that the trace lines for each will have the same ID tag.

2017-10-18rxrpc: Provide functions for allowing cleaner handling of signalsDavid Howells1-0/+2
Provide a couple of functions to allow cleaner handling of signals in a kernel service. They are: (1) rxrpc_kernel_get_rtt() This allows the kernel service to find out the RTT time for a call, so as to better judge how large a timeout to employ. Note, though, that whilst this returns a value in nanoseconds, the timeouts can only actually be in jiffies. (2) rxrpc_kernel_check_life() This returns a number that is updated when ACKs are received from the peer (notably including PING RESPONSE ACKs which we can elicit by sending PING ACKs to see if the call still exists on the server). The caller should compare the numbers of two calls to see if the call is still alive. These can be used to provide an extending timeout rather than returning immediately in the case that a signal occurs that would otherwise abort an RPC operation. The timeout would be extended if the server is still responsive and the call is still apparently alive on the server. For most operations this isn't that necessary - but for FS.StoreData it is: OpenAFS writes the data to storage as it comes in without making a backup, so if we immediately abort it when partially complete on a CTRL+C, say, we have no idea of the state of the file after the abort.

2017-10-18rxrpc: Support service upgrade from a kernel serviceDavid Howells1-2/+3
Provide support for a kernel service to make use of the service upgrade facility. This involves: (1) Pass an upgrade request flag to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call(). (2) Make rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() return the call's current service ID so that the caller can detect service upgrade and see what the service was upgraded to.

2017-08-29rxrpc: Allow failed client calls to be retriedDavid Howells1-0/+16
Allow a client call that failed on network error to be retried, provided that the Tx queue still holds DATA packet 1. This allows an operation to be submitted to another server or another address for the same server without having to repackage and re-encrypt the data so far processed. Two new functions are provided: (1) rxrpc_kernel_check_call() - This is used to find out the completion state of a call to guess whether it can be retried and whether it should be retried. (2) rxrpc_kernel_retry_call() - Disconnect the call from its current connection, reset the state and submit it as a new client call to a new address. The new address need not match the previous address. A call may be retried even if all the data hasn't been loaded into it yet; a partially constructed will be retained at the same point it was at when an error condition was detected. msg_data_left() can be used to find out how much data was packaged before the error occurred.

2017-08-29rxrpc: Add notification of end-of-Tx phaseDavid Howells1-1/+4
Add a callback to rxrpc_kernel_send_data() so that a kernel service can get a notification that the AF_RXRPC call has transitioned out the Tx phase and is now waiting for a reply or a final ACK. This is called from AF_RXRPC with the call state lock held so the notification is guaranteed to come before any reply is passed back. Further, modify the AFS filesystem to make use of this so that we don't have to change the afs_call state before sending the last bit of data. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2017-06-07rxrpc: Provide a cmsg to specify the amount of Tx data for a callDavid Howells1-0/+2
Provide a control message that can be specified on the first sendmsg() of a client call or the first sendmsg() of a service response to indicate the total length of the data to be transmitted for that call. Currently, because the length of the payload of an encrypted DATA packet is encrypted in front of the data, the packet cannot be encrypted until we know how much data it will hold. By specifying the length at the beginning of the transmit phase, each DATA packet length can be set before we start loading data from userspace (where several sendmsg() calls may contribute to a particular packet). An error will be returned if too little or too much data is presented in the Tx phase. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2017-04-06rxrpc: Note a successfully aborted kernel operationDavid Howells1-1/+1
Make rxrpc_kernel_abort_call() return an indication as to whether it actually aborted the operation or not so that kafs can trace the failure of the operation. Note that 'success' in this context means changing the state of the call, not necessarily successfully transmitting an ABORT packet. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-08rxrpc: Rewrite the data and ack handling codeDavid Howells1-3/+0
Rewrite the data and ack handling code such that: (1) Parsing of received ACK and ABORT packets and the distribution and the filing of DATA packets happens entirely within the data_ready context called from the UDP socket. This allows us to process and discard ACK and ABORT packets much more quickly (they're no longer stashed on a queue for a background thread to process). (2) We avoid calling skb_clone(), pskb_pull() and pskb_trim(). We instead keep track of the offset and length of the content of each packet in the sk_buff metadata. This means we don't do any allocation in the receive path. (3) Jumbo DATA packet parsing is now done in data_ready context. Rather than cloning the packet once for each subpacket and pulling/trimming it, we file the packet multiple times with an annotation for each indicating which subpacket is there. From that we can directly calculate the offset and length. (4) A call's receive queue can be accessed without taking locks (memory barriers do have to be used, though). (5) Incoming calls are set up from preallocated resources and immediately made live. They can than have packets queued upon them and ACKs generated. If insufficient resources exist, DATA packet #1 is given a BUSY reply and other DATA packets are discarded). (6) sk_buffs no longer take a ref on their parent call. To make this work, the following changes are made: (1) Each call's receive buffer is now a circular buffer of sk_buff pointers (rxtx_buffer) rather than a number of sk_buff_heads spread between the call and the socket. This permits each sk_buff to be in the buffer multiple times. The receive buffer is reused for the transmit buffer. (2) A circular buffer of annotations (rxtx_annotations) is kept parallel to the data buffer. Transmission phase annotations indicate whether a buffered packet has been ACK'd or not and whether it needs retransmission. Receive phase annotations indicate whether a slot holds a whole packet or a jumbo subpacket and, if the latter, which subpacket. They also note whether the packet has been decrypted in place. (3) DATA packet window tracking is much simplified. Each phase has just two numbers representing the window (rx_hard_ack/rx_top and tx_hard_ack/tx_top). The hard_ack number is the sequence number before base of the window, representing the last packet the other side says it has consumed. hard_ack starts from 0 and the first packet is sequence number 1. The top number is the sequence number of the highest-numbered packet residing in the buffer. Packets between hard_ack+1 and top are soft-ACK'd to indicate they've been received, but not yet consumed. Four macros, before(), before_eq(), after() and after_eq() are added to compare sequence numbers within the window. This allows for the top of the window to wrap when the hard-ack sequence number gets close to the limit. Two flags, RXRPC_CALL_RX_LAST and RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST, are added also to indicate when rx_top and tx_top point at the packets with the LAST_PACKET bit set, indicating the end of the phase. (4) Calls are queued on the socket 'receive queue' rather than packets. This means that we don't need have to invent dummy packets to queue to indicate abnormal/terminal states and we don't have to keep metadata packets (such as ABORTs) around (5) The offset and length of a (sub)packet's content are now passed to the verify_packet security op. This is currently expected to decrypt the packet in place and validate it. However, there's now nowhere to store the revised offset and length of the actual data within the decrypted blob (there may be a header and padding to skip) because an sk_buff may represent multiple packets, so a locate_data security op is added to retrieve these details from the sk_buff content when needed. (6) recvmsg() now has to handle jumbo subpackets, where each subpacket is individually secured and needs to be individually decrypted. The code to do this is broken out into rxrpc_recvmsg_data() and shared with the kernel API. It now iterates over the call's receive buffer rather than walking the socket receive queue. Additional changes: (1) The timers are condensed to a single timer that is set for the soonest of three timeouts (delayed ACK generation, DATA retransmission and call lifespan). (2) Transmission of ACK and ABORT packets is effected immediately from process-context socket ops/kernel API calls that cause them instead of them being punted off to a background work item. The data_ready handler still has to defer to the background, though. (3) A shutdown op is added to the AF_RXRPC socket so that the AFS filesystem can shut down the socket and flush its own work items before closing the socket to deal with any in-progress service calls. Future additional changes that will need to be considered: (1) Make sure that a call doesn't hog the front of the queue by receiving data from the network as fast as userspace is consuming it to the exclusion of other calls. (2) Transmit delayed ACKs from within recvmsg() when we've consumed sufficiently more packets to avoid the background work item needing to run. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-08rxrpc: Preallocate peers, conns and calls for incoming service requestsDavid Howells1-2/+8
Make it possible for the data_ready handler called from the UDP transport socket to completely instantiate an rxrpc_call structure and make it immediately live by preallocating all the memory it might need. The idea is to cut out the background thread usage as much as possible. [Note that the preallocated structs are not actually used in this patch - that will be done in a future patch.] If insufficient resources are available in the preallocation buffers, it will be possible to discard the DATA packet in the data_ready handler or schedule a BUSY packet without the need to schedule an attempt at allocation in a background thread. To this end: (1) Preallocate rxrpc_peer, rxrpc_connection and rxrpc_call structs to a maximum number each of the listen backlog size. The backlog size is limited to a maxmimum of 32. Only this many of each can be in the preallocation buffer. (2) For userspace sockets, the preallocation is charged initially by listen() and will be recharged by accepting or rejecting pending new incoming calls. (3) For kernel services {,re,dis}charging of the preallocation buffers is handled manually. Two notifier callbacks have to be provided before kernel_listen() is invoked: (a) An indication that a new call has been instantiated. This can be used to trigger background recharging. (b) An indication that a call is being discarded. This is used when the socket is being released. A function, rxrpc_kernel_charge_accept() is called by the kernel service to preallocate a single call. It should be passed the user ID to be used for that call and a callback to associate the rxrpc call with the kernel service's side of the ID. (4) Discard the preallocation when the socket is closed. (5) Temporarily bump the refcount on the call allocated in rxrpc_incoming_call() so that rxrpc_release_call() can ditch the preallocation ref on service calls unconditionally. This will no longer be necessary once the preallocation is used. Note that this does not yet control the number of active service calls on a client - that will come in a later patch. A future development would be to provide a setsockopt() call that allows a userspace server to manually charge the preallocation buffer. This would allow user call IDs to be provided in advance and the awkward manual accept stage to be bypassed. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-07rxrpc: Add tracepoint for working out where aborts happenDavid Howells1-1/+2
Add a tracepoint for working out where local aborts happen. Each tracepoint call is labelled with a 3-letter code so that they can be distinguished - and the DATA sequence number is added too where available. rxrpc_kernel_abort_call() also takes a 3-letter code so that AFS can indicate the circumstances when it aborts a call.

2016-09-01rxrpc: Don't expose skbs to in-kernel users [ver #2]David Howells1-24/+11
Don't expose skbs to in-kernel users, such as the AFS filesystem, but instead provide a notification hook the indicates that a call needs attention and another that indicates that there's a new call to be collected. This makes the following possibilities more achievable: (1) Call refcounting can be made simpler if skbs don't hold refs to calls. (2) skbs referring to non-data events will be able to be freed much sooner rather than being queued for AFS to pick up as rxrpc_kernel_recv_data will be able to consult the call state. (3) We can shortcut the receive phase when a call is remotely aborted because we don't have to go through all the packets to get to the one cancelling the operation. (4) It makes it easier to do encryption/decryption directly between AFS's buffers and sk_buffs. (5) Encryption/decryption can more easily be done in the AFS's thread contexts - usually that of the userspace process that issued a syscall - rather than in one of rxrpc's background threads on a workqueue. (6) AFS will be able to wait synchronously on a call inside AF_RXRPC. To make this work, the following interface function has been added: int rxrpc_kernel_recv_data( struct socket *sock, struct rxrpc_call *call, void *buffer, size_t bufsize, size_t *_offset, bool want_more, u32 *_abort_code); This is the recvmsg equivalent. It allows the caller to find out about the state of a specific call and to transfer received data into a buffer piecemeal. afs_extract_data() and rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() now do all the extraction logic between them. They don't wait synchronously yet because the socket lock needs to be dealt with. Five interface functions have been removed: rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last() rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code() rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number() rxrpc_kernel_free_skb() rxrpc_kernel_data_consumed() As a temporary hack, sk_buffs going to an in-kernel call are queued on the rxrpc_call struct (->knlrecv_queue) rather than being handed over to the in-kernel user. To process the queue internally, a temporary function, temp_deliver_data() has been added. This will be replaced with common code between the rxrpc_recvmsg() path and the kernel_rxrpc_recv_data() path in a future patch.

2016-08-30rxrpc: Provide a way for AFS to ask for the peer address of a callDavid Howells1-0/+2
Provide a function so that kernel users, such as AFS, can ask for the peer address of a call: void rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(struct rxrpc_call *call, struct sockaddr_rxrpc *_srx); In the future the kernel service won't get sk_buffs to look inside. Further, this allows us to hide any canonicalisation inside AF_RXRPC for when IPv6 support is added. Also propagate this through to afs_find_server() and issue a warning if we can't handle the address family yet. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-08-06rxrpc: Fix races between skb free, ACK generation and replyingDavid Howells1-1/+1
Inside the kafs filesystem it is possible to occasionally have a call processed and terminated before we've had a chance to check whether we need to clean up the rx queue for that call because afs_send_simple_reply() ends the call when it is done, but this is done in a workqueue item that might happen to run to completion before afs_deliver_to_call() completes. Further, it is possible for rxrpc_kernel_send_data() to be called to send a reply before the last request-phase data skb is released. The rxrpc skb destructor is where the ACK processing is done and the call state is advanced upon release of the last skb. ACK generation is also deferred to a work item because it's possible that the skb destructor is not called in a context where kernel_sendmsg() can be invoked. To this end, the following changes are made: (1) kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() is added. This should be called whenever an skb is emptied so as to crank the ACK and call states. This does not release the skb, however. kernel_rxrpc_free_skb() must now be called to achieve that. These together replace rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered(). (2) kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() is wrapped by afs_data_consumed(). This makes afs_deliver_to_call() easier to work as the skb can simply be discarded unconditionally here without trying to work out what the return value of the ->deliver() function means. The ->deliver() functions can, via afs_data_complete(), afs_transfer_reply() and afs_extract_data() mark that an skb has been consumed (thereby cranking the state) without the need to conditionally free the skb to make sure the state is correct on an incoming call for when the call processor tries to send the reply. (3) rxrpc_recvmsg() now has to call kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() when it has finished with a packet and MSG_PEEK isn't set. (4) rxrpc_packet_destructor() no longer calls rxrpc_hard_ACK_data(). Because of this, we no longer need to clear the destructor and put the call before we free the skb in cases where we don't want the ACK/call state to be cranked. (5) The ->deliver() call-type callbacks are made to return -EAGAIN rather than 0 if they expect more data (afs_extract_data() returns -EAGAIN to the delivery function already), and the caller is now responsible for producing an abort if that was the last packet. (6) There are many bits of unmarshalling code where: ret = afs_extract_data(call, skb, last, ...); switch (ret) { case 0: break; case -EAGAIN: return 0; default: return ret; } is to be found. As -EAGAIN can now be passed back to the caller, we now just return if ret < 0: ret = afs_extract_data(call, skb, last, ...); if (ret < 0) return ret; (7) Checks for trailing data and empty final data packets has been consolidated as afs_data_complete(). So: if (skb->len > 0) return -EBADMSG; if (!last) return 0; becomes: ret = afs_data_complete(call, skb, last); if (ret < 0) return ret; (8) afs_transfer_reply() now checks the amount of data it has against the amount of data desired and the amount of data in the skb and returns an error to induce an abort if we don't get exactly what we want. Without these changes, the following oops can occasionally be observed, particularly if some printks are inserted into the delivery path: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: kafs(E) af_rxrpc(E) [last unloaded: af_rxrpc] CPU: 0 PID: 1305 Comm: kworker/u8:3 Tainted: G E 4.7.0-fsdevel+ #1303 Hardware name: ASUS All Series/H97-PLUS, BIOS 2306 10/09/2014 Workqueue: kafsd afs_async_workfn [kafs] task: ffff88040be041c0 ti: ffff88040c070000 task.ti: ffff88040c070000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8108fd3c>] [<ffffffff8108fd3c>] __lock_acquire+0xcf/0x15a1 RSP: 0018:ffff88040c073bc0 EFLAGS: 00010002 RAX: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: ffff88040d29a710 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff88040d29a710 RBP: ffff88040c073c70 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: ffff88040be041c0 R15: ffffffff814c928f FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88041fa00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007fa4595f4750 CR3: 0000000001c14000 CR4: 00000000001406f0 Stack: 0000000000000006 000000000be04930 0000000000000000 ffff880400000000 ffff880400000000 ffffffff8108f847 ffff88040be041c0 ffffffff81050446 ffff8803fc08a920 ffff8803fc08a958 ffff88040be041c0 ffff88040c073c38 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8108f847>] ? mark_held_locks+0x5e/0x74 [<ffffffff81050446>] ? __local_bh_enable_ip+0x9b/0xa1 [<ffffffff8108f9ca>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x16d/0x189 [<ffffffff810915f4>] lock_acquire+0x122/0x1b6 [<ffffffff810915f4>] ? lock_acquire+0x122/0x1b6 [<ffffffff814c928f>] ? skb_dequeue+0x18/0x61 [<ffffffff81609dbf>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x35/0x49 [<ffffffff814c928f>] ? skb_dequeue+0x18/0x61 [<ffffffff814c928f>] skb_dequeue+0x18/0x61 [<ffffffffa009aa92>] afs_deliver_to_call+0x344/0x39d [kafs] [<ffffffffa009ab37>] afs_process_async_call+0x4c/0xd5 [kafs] [<ffffffffa0099e9c>] afs_async_workfn+0xe/0x10 [kafs] [<ffffffff81063a3a>] process_one_work+0x29d/0x57c [<ffffffff81064ac2>] worker_thread+0x24a/0x385 [<ffffffff81064878>] ? rescuer_thread+0x2d0/0x2d0 [<ffffffff810696f5>] kthread+0xf3/0xfb [<ffffffff8160a6ff>] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x40 [<ffffffff81069602>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x1cf/0x1cf Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-04-26[AF_RXRPC]: Add an interface to the AF_RXRPC module for the AFS filesystem ↵David Howells1-2/+42
to use Add an interface to the AF_RXRPC module so that the AFS filesystem module can more easily make use of the services available. AFS still opens a socket but then uses the action functions in lieu of sendmsg() and registers an intercept functions to grab messages before they're queued on the socket Rx queue. This permits AFS (or whatever) to: (1) Avoid the overhead of using the recvmsg() call. (2) Use different keys directly on individual client calls on one socket rather than having to open a whole slew of sockets, one for each key it might want to use. (3) Avoid calling request_key() at the point of issue of a call or opening of a socket. This is done instead by AFS at the point of open(), unlink() or other VFS operation and the key handed through. (4) Request the use of something other than GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory. Furthermore: (*) The socket buffer markings used by RxRPC are made available for AFS so that it can interpret the cooked RxRPC messages itself. (*) rxgen (un)marshalling abort codes are made available. The following documentation for the kernel interface is added to Documentation/networking/rxrpc.txt: ========================= AF_RXRPC KERNEL INTERFACE ========================= The AF_RXRPC module also provides an interface for use by in-kernel utilities such as the AFS filesystem. This permits such a utility to: (1) Use different keys directly on individual client calls on one socket rather than having to open a whole slew of sockets, one for each key it might want to use. (2) Avoid having RxRPC call request_key() at the point of issue of a call or opening of a socket. Instead the utility is responsible for requesting a key at the appropriate point. AFS, for instance, would do this during VFS operations such as open() or unlink(). The key is then handed through when the call is initiated. (3) Request the use of something other than GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory. (4) Avoid the overhead of using the recvmsg() call. RxRPC messages can be intercepted before they get put into the socket Rx queue and the socket buffers manipulated directly. To use the RxRPC facility, a kernel utility must still open an AF_RXRPC socket, bind an addess as appropriate and listen if it's to be a server socket, but then it passes this to the kernel interface functions. The kernel interface functions are as follows: (*) Begin a new client call. struct rxrpc_call * rxrpc_kernel_begin_call(struct socket *sock, struct sockaddr_rxrpc *srx, struct key *key, unsigned long user_call_ID, gfp_t gfp); This allocates the infrastructure to make a new RxRPC call and assigns call and connection numbers. The call will be made on the UDP port that the socket is bound to. The call will go to the destination address of a connected client socket unless an alternative is supplied (srx is non-NULL). If a key is supplied then this will be used to secure the call instead of the key bound to the socket with the RXRPC_SECURITY_KEY sockopt. Calls secured in this way will still share connections if at all possible. The user_call_ID is equivalent to that supplied to sendmsg() in the control data buffer. It is entirely feasible to use this to point to a kernel data structure. If this function is successful, an opaque reference to the RxRPC call is returned. The caller now holds a reference on this and it must be properly ended. (*) End a client call. void rxrpc_kernel_end_call(struct rxrpc_call *call); This is used to end a previously begun call. The user_call_ID is expunged from AF_RXRPC's knowledge and will not be seen again in association with the specified call. (*) Send data through a call. int rxrpc_kernel_send_data(struct rxrpc_call *call, struct msghdr *msg, size_t len); This is used to supply either the request part of a client call or the reply part of a server call. msg.msg_iovlen and msg.msg_iov specify the data buffers to be used. msg_iov may not be NULL and must point exclusively to in-kernel virtual addresses. msg.msg_flags may be given MSG_MORE if there will be subsequent data sends for this call. The msg must not specify a destination address, control data or any flags other than MSG_MORE. len is the total amount of data to transmit. (*) Abort a call. void rxrpc_kernel_abort_call(struct rxrpc_call *call, u32 abort_code); This is used to abort a call if it's still in an abortable state. The abort code specified will be placed in the ABORT message sent. (*) Intercept received RxRPC messages. typedef void (*rxrpc_interceptor_t)(struct sock *sk, unsigned long user_call_ID, struct sk_buff *skb); void rxrpc_kernel_intercept_rx_messages(struct socket *sock, rxrpc_interceptor_t interceptor); This installs an interceptor function on the specified AF_RXRPC socket. All messages that would otherwise wind up in the socket's Rx queue are then diverted to this function. Note that care must be taken to process the messages in the right order to maintain DATA message sequentiality. The interceptor function itself is provided with the address of the socket and handling the incoming message, the ID assigned by the kernel utility to the call and the socket buffer containing the message. The skb->mark field indicates the type of message: MARK MEANING =============================== ======================================= RXRPC_SKB_MARK_DATA Data message RXRPC_SKB_MARK_FINAL_ACK Final ACK received for an incoming call RXRPC_SKB_MARK_BUSY Client call rejected as server busy RXRPC_SKB_MARK_REMOTE_ABORT Call aborted by peer RXRPC_SKB_MARK_NET_ERROR Network error detected RXRPC_SKB_MARK_LOCAL_ERROR Local error encountered RXRPC_SKB_MARK_NEW_CALL New incoming call awaiting acceptance The remote abort message can be probed with rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code(). The two error messages can be probed with rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number(). A new call can be accepted with rxrpc_kernel_accept_call(). Data messages can have their contents extracted with the usual bunch of socket buffer manipulation functions. A data message can be determined to be the last one in a sequence with rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last(). When a data message has been used up, rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered() should be called on it.. Non-data messages should be handled to rxrpc_kernel_free_skb() to dispose of. It is possible to get extra refs on all types of message for later freeing, but this may pin the state of a call until the message is finally freed. (*) Accept an incoming call. struct rxrpc_call * rxrpc_kernel_accept_call(struct socket *sock, unsigned long user_call_ID); This is used to accept an incoming call and to assign it a call ID. This function is similar to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() and calls accepted must be ended in the same way. If this function is successful, an opaque reference to the RxRPC call is returned. The caller now holds a reference on this and it must be properly ended. (*) Reject an incoming call. int rxrpc_kernel_reject_call(struct socket *sock); This is used to reject the first incoming call on the socket's queue with a BUSY message. -ENODATA is returned if there were no incoming calls. Other errors may be returned if the call had been aborted (-ECONNABORTED) or had timed out (-ETIME). (*) Record the delivery of a data message and free it. void rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered(struct sk_buff *skb); This is used to record a data message as having been delivered and to update the ACK state for the call. The socket buffer will be freed. (*) Free a message. void rxrpc_kernel_free_skb(struct sk_buff *skb); This is used to free a non-DATA socket buffer intercepted from an AF_RXRPC socket. (*) Determine if a data message is the last one on a call. bool rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last(struct sk_buff *skb); This is used to determine if a socket buffer holds the last data message to be received for a call (true will be returned if it does, false if not). The data message will be part of the reply on a client call and the request on an incoming call. In the latter case there will be more messages, but in the former case there will not. (*) Get the abort code from an abort message. u32 rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code(struct sk_buff *skb); This is used to extract the abort code from a remote abort message. (*) Get the error number from a local or network error message. int rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number(struct sk_buff *skb); This is used to extract the error number from a message indicating either a local error occurred or a network error occurred.

2007-04-26[AF_RXRPC]: Provide secure RxRPC sockets for use by userspace and kernel bothDavid Howells1-0/+17
Provide AF_RXRPC sockets that can be used to talk to AFS servers, or serve answers to AFS clients. KerberosIV security is fully supported. The patches and some example test programs can be found in: http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/ This will eventually replace the old implementation of kernel-only RxRPC currently resident in net/rxrpc/.
