[ Upstream commit 9dbbfb0ab6680c6a85609041011484e6658e7d3c ]

There are two problems with the function tipc_sk_reinit.  Firstly
it's doing a manual walk over an rhashtable.  This is broken as
an rhashtable can be resized and if you manually walk over it
during a resize then you may miss entries.

Secondly it's missing memory barriers as previously the code used
spinlocks which provide the barriers implicitly.

This patch fixes both problems.

<id>urn:sha1:6998cc6ec23740347670da13186d2979c5401903</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 10724cc7bb78 ("tipc: redesign connection-level flow control")
we replaced the previous message based flow control with one based on
1k blocks. In order to ensure backwards compatibility the mechanism
falls back to using message as base unit when it senses that the peer
doesn't support the new algorithm. The default flow control window,
i.e., how many units can be sent before the sender blocks and waits
for an acknowledge (aka advertisement) is 512. This was tested against
the previous version, which uses an acknowledge frequency of on ack per
256 received message, and found to work fine.

However, we missed the fact that versions older than Linux 3.15 use an
acknowledge frequency of 512, which is exactly the limit where a 4.6+
sender will stop and wait for acknowledge. This would also work fine if
it weren't for the fact that if the first sent message on a 4.6+ server
side is an empty SYNACK, this one is also is counted as a sent message,
while it is not counted as a received message on a legacy 3.15-receiver.
This leads to the sender always being one step ahead of the receiver, a
scenario causing the sender to block after 512 sent messages, while the
receiver only has registered 511 read messages. Hence, the legacy
receiver is not trigged to send an acknowledge, with a permanently
blocked sender as result.

We solve this deadlock by simply allowing the sender to send one more
message before it blocks, i.e., by a making minimal change to the
condition used for determining connection congestion.

<content type='text'>
The comment block in socket.c describing the locking policy is
obsolete, and does not reflect current reality. We remove it in this
commit.

Since the current locking policy is much simpler and follows a
mainstream approach, we see no need to add a new description.

I feel like we should maybe return -ENOMEM or -ENOBUFS, but I'm not sure
userspace is equipped to handle that. Anyway, this is better than a GPF
and looks somewhat consistent with other tipc_msg_create() callers.

<id>urn:sha1:f1d048f24e66ba85d3dabf3d076cefa5f2b546b0</id>
<content type='text'>
We sometimes observe a 'deadly embrace' type deadlock occurring
between mutually connected sockets on the same node. This happens
when the one-hour peer supervision timers happen to expire
simultaneously in both sockets.

The scenario is as follows:

CPU 1:                          CPU 2:
--------                        --------
tipc_sk_timeout(sk1)            tipc_sk_timeout(sk2)
  lock(sk1.slock)                 lock(sk2.slock)
  msg_create(probe)               msg_create(probe)
  unlock(sk1.slock)               unlock(sk2.slock)
  tipc_node_xmit_skb()            tipc_node_xmit_skb()
    tipc_node_xmit()                tipc_node_xmit()
      tipc_sk_rcv(sk2)                tipc_sk_rcv(sk1)
        lock(sk2.slock)                 lock((sk1.slock)
        filter_rcv()                    filter_rcv()
          tipc_sk_proto_rcv()             tipc_sk_proto_rcv()
            msg_create(probe_rsp)           msg_create(probe_rsp)
            tipc_sk_respond()               tipc_sk_respond()
              tipc_node_xmit_skb()            tipc_node_xmit_skb()
                tipc_node_xmit()                tipc_node_xmit()
                  tipc_sk_rcv(sk1)                tipc_sk_rcv(sk2)
                    lock((sk1.slock)                lock((sk2.slock)
                    ===&gt; DEADLOCK                   ===&gt; DEADLOCK

Further analysis reveals that there are three different locations in the
socket code where tipc_sk_respond() is called within the context of the
socket lock, with ensuing risk of similar deadlocks.

We now solve this by passing a buffer queue along with all upcalls where
sk_lock.slock may potentially be held. Response or rejected message
buffers are accumulated into this queue instead of being sent out
directly, and only sent once we know we are safely outside the slock
context.

Make sure the socket for which the user is listing publication exists
before parsing the socket netlink attributes.

Prior to this patch a call without any socket caused a NULL pointer
dereference in tipc_nl_publ_dump().

<id>urn:sha1:10724cc7bb7832b482df049c20fd824d928c5eaa</id>
<content type='text'>
There are two flow control mechanisms in TIPC; one at link level that
handles network congestion, burst control, and retransmission, and one
at connection level which' only remaining task is to prevent overflow
in the receiving socket buffer. In TIPC, the latter task has to be
solved end-to-end because messages can not be thrown away once they
have been accepted and delivered upwards from the link layer, i.e, we
can never permit the receive buffer to overflow.

Currently, this algorithm is message based. A counter in the receiving
socket keeps track of number of consumed messages, and sends a dedicated
acknowledge message back to the sender for each 256 consumed message.
A counter at the sending end keeps track of the sent, not yet
acknowledged messages, and blocks the sender if this number ever reaches
512 unacknowledged messages. When the missing acknowledge arrives, the
socket is then woken up for renewed transmission. This works well for
keeping the message flow running, as it almost never happens that a
sender socket is blocked this way.

A problem with the current mechanism is that it potentially is very
memory consuming. Since we don't distinguish between small and large
messages, we have to dimension the socket receive buffer according
to a worst-case of both. I.e., the window size must be chosen large
enough to sustain a reasonable throughput even for the smallest
messages, while we must still consider a scenario where all messages
are of maximum size. Hence, the current fix window size of 512 messages
and a maximum message size of 66k results in a receive buffer of 66 MB
when truesize(66k) = 131k is taken into account. It is possible to do
much better.

This commit introduces an algorithm where we instead use 1024-byte
blocks as base unit. This unit, always rounded upwards from the
actual message size, is used when we advertise windows as well as when
we count and acknowledge transmitted data. The advertised window is
based on the configured receive buffer size in such a way that even
the worst-case truesize/msgsize ratio always is covered. Since the
smallest possible message size (from a flow control viewpoint) now is
1024 bytes, we can safely assume this ratio to be less than four, which
is the value we are now using.

This way, we have been able to reduce the default receive buffer size
from 66 MB to 2 MB with maintained performance.

In order to keep this solution backwards compatible, we introduce a
new capability bit in the discovery protocol, and use this throughout
the message sending/reception path to always select the right unit.

<content type='text'>
During neighbor discovery, nodes advertise their capabilities as a bit
map in a dedicated 16-bit field in the discovery message header. This
bit map has so far only be stored in the node structure on the peer
nodes, but we now see the need to keep a copy even in the socket
structure.

This commit adds this functionality.

<title>tipc: re-enable compensation for socket receive buffer double counting</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7c8bcfb1255fe9d929c227d67bdcd84430fd200b</id>
<content type='text'>
In the refactoring commit d570d86497ee ("tipc: enqueue arrived buffers
in socket in separate function") we did by accident replace the test

if (sk-&gt;sk_backlog.len == 0)
     atomic_set(&amp;tsk-&gt;dupl_rcvcnt, 0);

with

if (sk-&gt;sk_backlog.len)
     atomic_set(&amp;tsk-&gt;dupl_rcvcnt, 0);

This effectively disables the compensation we have for the double
receive buffer accounting that occurs temporarily when buffers are
moved from the backlog to the socket receive queue. Until now, this
has gone unnoticed because of the large receive buffer limits we are
applying, but becomes indispensable when we reduce this buffer limit
later in this series.

We now fix this by inverting the mentioned condition.
