2016-01-10net: add scheduling point in recvmmsg/sendmmsgEric Dumazet1-0/+2
Applications often have to reduce number of datagrams they receive or send per system call to avoid starvation problems. Really the kernel should take care of this by using cond_resched(), so that applications can experiment bigger batch sizes. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-12-30net, socket, socket_wq: fix missing initialization of flagsNicolai Stange1-0/+1
Commit ceb5d58b2170 ("net: fix sock_wake_async() rcu protection") from the current 4.4 release cycle introduced a new flags member in struct socket_wq and moved SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA from struct socket's flags member into that new place. Unfortunately, the new flags field is never initialized properly, at least not for the struct socket_wq instance created in sock_alloc_inode(). One particular issue I encountered because of this is that my GNU Emacs failed to draw anything on my desktop -- i.e. what I got is a transparent window, including the title bar. Bisection lead to the commit mentioned above and further investigation by means of strace told me that Emacs is indeed speaking to my Xorg through an O_ASYNC AF_UNIX socket. This is reproducible 100% of times and the fact that properly initializing the struct socket_wq ->flags fixes the issue leads me to the conclusion that somehow SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA got set in the uninitialized ->flags, preventing my Emacs from receiving any SIGIO's due to data becoming available and it got stuck. Make sock_alloc_inode() set the newly created struct socket_wq's ->flags member to zero.

2015-12-01net: fix sock_wake_async() rcu protectionEric Dumazet1-14/+7
Dmitry provided a syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller) triggering a fault in sock_wake_async() when async IO is requested. Said program stressed af_unix sockets, but the issue is generic and should be addressed in core networking stack. The problem is that by the time sock_wake_async() is called, we should not access the @flags field of 'struct socket', as the inode containing this socket might be freed without further notice, and without RCU grace period. We already maintain an RCU protected structure, "struct socket_wq" so moving SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE & SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA into it is the safe route. It also reduces number of cache lines needing dirtying, so might provide a performance improvement anyway. In followup patches, we might move remaining flags (SOCK_NOSPACE, SOCK_PASSCRED, SOCK_PASSSEC) to save 8 bytes and let 'struct socket' being mostly read and let it being shared between cpus.

2015-12-01net: rename SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCK_ASYNC_WAITDATAEric Dumazet1-2/+2
This patch is a cleanup to make following patch easier to review. Goal is to move SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCK_ASYNC_WAITDATA from (struct socket)->flags to a (struct socket_wq)->flags to benefit from RCU protection in sock_wake_async() To ease backports, we rename both constants. Two new helpers, sk_set_bit(int nr, struct sock *sk) and sk_clear_bit(int net, struct sock *sk) are added so that following patch can change their implementation.

2015-05-11tun: Utilize the normal socket network namespace refcounting.Eric W. Biederman1-3/+0
There is no need for tun to do the weird network namespace refcounting. The existing network namespace refcounting in tfile has almost exactly the same lifetime. So rewrite the code to use the struct sock network namespace refcounting and remove the unnecessary hand rolled network namespace refcounting and the unncesary tfile->net. This change allows the tun code to directly call sock_put bypassing sock_release and making SOCK_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED unnecessary. Remove the now unncessary tun_release so that if anything tries to use the sock_release code path the kernel will oops, and let us know about the bug. The macvtap code already uses it's internal socket this way. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The conflict hunks generated by GIT were very unhelpful, to say the least. It split functions in half and moved them around, when the real actual conflict only existed solely inside of one function, that being be_map_pci_bars(). So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top of net-next, then I applied the be_main.c changes from 'net' since the last time I merged. And this worked beautifully.

Commit 977750076d98 ("af_packet: add interframe drop cmsg (v6)") unionized skb->mark and skb->dropcount in order to allow recording of the socket drop count while maintaining struct sk_buff size. skb->dropcount was introduced since there was no available room in skb->cb[] in packet sockets. However, its introduction led to the inability to export skb->mark, or any other aliased field to userspace if so desired. Moving the dropcount metric to skb->cb[] eliminates this problem at the expense of 4 bytes less in skb->cb[] for protocol families using it.

2014-12-10make default ->i_fop have ->open() fail with ENXIOAl Viro1-19/+0
As it is, default ->i_fop has NULL ->open() (along with all other methods). The only case where it matters is reopening (via procfs symlink) a file that didn't get its ->f_op from ->i_fop - anything else will have ->i_fop assigned to something sane (default would fail on read/write/ioctl/etc.). Unfortunately, such case exists - alloc_file() users, especially anon_get_file() ones. There we have tons of opened files of very different kinds sharing the same inode. As the result, attempt to reopen those via procfs succeeds and you get a descriptor you can't do anything with. Moreover, in case of sockets we set ->i_fop that will only be used on such reopen attempts - and put a failing ->open() into it to make sure those do not succeed. It would be simpler to put such ->open() into default ->i_fop and leave it unchanged both for anon inode (as we do anyway) and for socket ones. Result: * everything going through do_dentry_open() works as it used to * sock_no_open() kludge is gone * attempts to reopen anon-inode files fail as they really ought to * ditto for aio_private_file() * ditto for perfmon - this one actually tried to imitate sock_no_open() trick, but failed to set ->i_fop, so in the current tree reopens succeed and yield completely useless descriptor. Intent clearly had been to fail with -ENXIO on such reopens; now it actually does. * everything else that used alloc_file() keeps working - it has ->i_fop set for its inodes anyway Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2014-11-19separate kernel- and userland-side msghdrAl Viro1-13/+16
Kernel-side struct msghdr is (currently) using the same layout as userland one, but it's not a one-to-one copy - even without considering 32bit compat issues, we have msg_iov, msg_name and msg_control copied to kernel[1]. It's fairly localized, so we get away with a few functions where that knowledge is needed (and we could shrink that set even more). Pretty much everything deals with the kernel-side variant and the few places that want userland one just use a bunch of force-casts to paper over the differences. The thing is, kernel-side definition of struct msghdr is *not* exposed in include/uapi - libc doesn't see it, etc. So we can add struct user_msghdr, with proper annotations and let the few places that ever deal with those beasts use it for userland pointers. Saner typechecking aside, that will allow to change the layout of kernel-side msghdr - e.g. replace msg_iov/msg_iovlen there with struct iov_iter, getting rid of the need to modify the iovec as we copy data to/from it, etc. We could introduce kernel_msghdr instead, but that would create much more noise - the absolute majority of the instances would need to have the type switched to kernel_msghdr and definition of struct msghdr in include/linux/socket.h is not going to be seen by userland anyway. This commit just introduces user_msghdr and switches the few places that are dealing with userland-side msghdr to it. [1] actually, it's even trickier than that - we copy msg_control for sendmsg, but keep the userland address on recvmsg. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
