2017-11-24rxrpc: Fix call timeoutsDavid Howells
Fix the rxrpc call expiration timeouts and make them settable from userspace. By analogy with other rx implementations, there should be three timeouts: (1) "Normal timeout" This is set for all calls and is triggered if we haven't received any packets from the peer in a while. It is measured from the last time we received any packet on that call. This is not reset by any connection packets (such as CHALLENGE/RESPONSE packets). If a service operation takes a long time, the server should generate PING ACKs at a duration that's substantially less than the normal timeout so is to keep both sides alive. This is set at 1/6 of normal timeout. (2) "Idle timeout" This is set only for a service call and is triggered if we stop receiving the DATA packets that comprise the request data. It is measured from the last time we received a DATA packet. (3) "Hard timeout" This can be set for a call and specified the maximum lifetime of that call. It should not be specified by default. Some operations (such as volume transfer) take a long time. Allow userspace to set/change the timeouts on a call with sendmsg, using a control message: RXRPC_SET_CALL_TIMEOUTS The data to the message is a number of 32-bit words, not all of which need be given: u32 hard_timeout; /* sec from first packet */ u32 idle_timeout; /* msec from packet Rx */ u32 normal_timeout; /* msec from data Rx */ This can be set in combination with any other sendmsg() that affects a call.

2017-01-05rxrpc: Fix handling of enums-to-string translation in tracingDavid Howells
Fix the way enum values are translated into strings in AF_RXRPC tracepoints. The problem with just doing a lookup in a normal flat array of strings or chars is that external tracing infrastructure can't find it. Rather, TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM must be used. Also sort the enums and string tables to make it easier to keep them in order so that a future patch to __print_symbolic() can be optimised to try a direct lookup into the table first before iterating over it. A couple of _proto() macro calls are removed because they refered to tables that got moved to the tracing infrastructure. The relevant data can be found by way of tracing.

2016-10-06rxrpc: Need to produce an ACK for service op if op takes a long timeDavid Howells
We need to generate a DELAY ACK from the service end of an operation if we start doing the actual operation work and it takes longer than expected. This will hard-ACK the request data and allow the client to release its resources. To make this work: (1) We have to set the ack timer and propose an ACK when the call moves to the RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_ACK_REQUEST and clear the pending ACK and cancel the timer when we start transmitting the reply (the first DATA packet of the reply implicitly ACKs the request phase). (2) It must be possible to set the timer when the caller is holding call->state_lock, so split the lock-getting part of the timer function out. (3) Add trace notes for the ACK we're requesting and the timer we clear. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-10-06rxrpc: Fix loss of PING RESPONSE ACK production due to PING ACKsDavid Howells
Separate the output of PING ACKs from the output of other sorts of ACK so that if we receive a PING ACK and schedule transmission of a PING RESPONSE ACK, the response doesn't get cancelled by a PING ACK we happen to be scheduling transmission of at the same time. If a PING RESPONSE gets lost, the other side might just sit there waiting for it and refuse to proceed otherwise. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2016-09-29rxrpc: Make Tx loss-injection go through normal return and adjust tracingDavid Howells
In rxrpc_send_data_packet() make the loss-injection path return through the same code as the transmission path so that the RTT determination is initiated and any future timer shuffling will be done, despite the packet having been binned. Whilst we're at it: (1) Add to the tx_data tracepoint an indication of whether or not we're retransmitting a data packet. (2) When we're deciding whether or not to request an ACK, rather than checking if we're in fast-retransmit mode check instead if we're retransmitting. (3) Don't invoke the lose_skb tracepoint when losing a Tx packet as we're not altering the sk_buff refcount nor are we just seeing it after getting it off the Tx list. (4) The rxrpc_skb_tx_lost note is then no longer used so remove it. (5) rxrpc_lose_skb() no longer needs to deal with rxrpc_skb_tx_lost. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-24rxrpc: Implement slow-startDavid Howells
Implement RxRPC slow-start, which is similar to RFC 5681 for TCP. A tracepoint is added to log the state of the congestion management algorithm and the decisions it makes. Notes: (1) Since we send fixed-size DATA packets (apart from the final packet in each phase), counters and calculations are in terms of packets rather than bytes. (2) The ACK packet carries the equivalent of TCP SACK. (3) The FLIGHT_SIZE calculation in RFC 5681 doesn't seem particularly suited to SACK of a small number of packets. It seems that, almost inevitably, by the time three 'duplicate' ACKs have been seen, we have narrowed the loss down to one or two missing packets, and the FLIGHT_SIZE calculation ends up as 2. (4) In rxrpc_resend(), if there was no data that apparently needed retransmission, we transmit a PING ACK to ask the peer to tell us what its Rx window state is.

2016-09-24rxrpc: Schedule an ACK if the reply to a client call appears overdueDavid Howells
If we've sent all the request data in a client call but haven't seen any sign of the reply data yet, schedule an ACK to be sent to the server to find out if the reply data got lost. If the server hasn't yet hard-ACK'd the request data, we send a PING ACK to demand a response to find out whether we need to retransmit. If the server says it has received all of the data, we send an IDLE ACK to tell the server that we haven't received anything in the receive phase as yet. To make this work, a non-immediate PING ACK must carry a delay. I've chosen the same as the IDLE ACK for the moment. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-24rxrpc: Reinitialise the call ACK and timer state for client reply phaseDavid Howells
Clear the ACK reason, ACK timer and resend timer when entering the client reply phase when the first DATA packet is received. New ACKs will be proposed once the data is queued. The resend timer is no longer relevant and we need to cancel ACKs scheduled to probe for a lost reply. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-24rxrpc: Send an ACK after every few DATA packets we receiveDavid Howells
Send an ACK if we haven't sent one for the last two packets we've received. This keeps the other end apprised of where we've got to - which is important if they're doing slow-start. We do this in recvmsg so that we can dispatch a packet directly without the need to wake up the background thread. This should possibly be made configurable in future. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-23rxrpc: Add tracepoint for ACK proposalDavid Howells
Add a tracepoint to log proposed ACKs, including whether the proposal is used to update a pending ACK or is discarded in favour of an easlier, higher priority ACK. Whilst we're at it, get rid of the rxrpc_acks() function and access the name array directly. We do, however, need to validate the ACK reason number given to trace_rxrpc_rx_ack() to make sure we don't overrun the array. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2016-09-23rxrpc: Pass the last Tx packet marker in the annotation bufferDavid Howells
When the last packet of data to be transmitted on a call is queued, tx_top is set and then the RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST flag is set. Unfortunately, this leaves a race in the ACK processing side of things because the flag affects the interpretation of tx_top and also allows us to start receiving reply data before we've finished transmitting. To fix this, make the following changes: (1) rxrpc_queue_packet() now sets a marker in the annotation buffer instead of setting the RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST flag. (2) rxrpc_rotate_tx_window() detects the marker and sets the flag in the same context as the routines that use it. (3) rxrpc_end_tx_phase() is simplified to just shift the call state. The Tx window must have been rotated before calling to discard the last packet. (4) rxrpc_receiving_reply() is added to handle the arrival of the first DATA packet of a reply to a client call (which is an implicit ACK of the Tx phase). (5) The last part of rxrpc_input_ack() is reordered to perform Tx rotation, then soft-ACK application and then to end the phase if we've rotated the last packet. In the event of a terminal ACK, the soft-ACK application will be skipped as nAcks should be 0. (6) rxrpc_input_ackall() now has to rotate as well as ending the phase. In addition: (7) Alter the transmit tracepoint to log the rotation of the last packet. (8) Remove the no-longer relevant queue_reqack tracepoint note. The ACK-REQUESTED packet header flag is now set as needed when we actually transmit the packet and may vary by retransmission. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-22rxrpc: Obtain RTT data by requesting ACKs on DATA packetsDavid Howells
In addition to sending a PING ACK to gain RTT data, we can set the RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK flag on a DATA packet and get a REQUESTED-ACK ACK. The ACK packet contains the serial number of the packet it is in response to, so we can look through the Tx buffer for a matching DATA packet. This requires that the data packets be stamped with the time of transmission as a ktime rather than having the resend_at time in jiffies. This further requires the resend code to do the resend determination in ktimes and convert to jiffies to set the timer. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-22rxrpc: Send pings to get RTT dataDavid Howells
Send a PING ACK packet to the peer when we get a new incoming call from a peer we don't have a record for. The PING RESPONSE ACK packet will tell us the following about the peer: (1) its receive window size (2) its MTU sizes (3) its support for jumbo DATA packets (4) if it supports slow start (similar to RFC 5681) (5) an estimate of the RTT This is necessary because the peer won't normally send us an ACK until it gets to the Rx phase and we send it a packet, but we would like to know some of this information before we start sending packets. A pair of tracepoints are added so that RTT determination can be observed. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-22rxrpc: Add per-peer RTT trackerDavid Howells
Add a function to track the average RTT for a peer. Sources of RTT data will be added in subsequent patches. The RTT data will be useful in the future for determining resend timeouts and for handling the slow-start part of the Rx protocol. Also add a pair of tracepoints, one to log transmissions to elicit a response for RTT purposes and one to log responses that contribute RTT data. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-17rxrpc: Improve skb tracingDavid Howells
Improve sk_buff tracing within AF_RXRPC by the following means: (1) Use an enum to note the event type rather than plain integers and use an array of event names rather than a big multi ?: list. (2) Distinguish Rx from Tx packets and account them separately. This requires the call phase to be tracked so that we know what we might find in rxtx_buffer[]. (3) Add a parameter to rxrpc_{new,see,get,free}_skb() to indicate the event type. (4) A pair of 'rotate' events are added to indicate packets that are about to be rotated out of the Rx and Tx windows. (5) A pair of 'lost' events are added, along with rxrpc_lose_skb() for packet loss injection recording. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2016-09-13rxrpc: Correctly initialise, limit and transmit call->rx_winsizeDavid Howells
call->rx_winsize should be initialised to the sysctl setting and the sysctl setting should be limited to the maximum we want to permit. Further, we need to place this in the ACK info instead of the sysctl setting. Furthermore, discard the idea of accepting the subpackets of a jumbo packet that lie beyond the receive window when the first packet of the jumbo is within the window. Just discard the excess subpackets instead. This allows the receive window to be opened up right to the buffer size less one for the dead slot. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2016-09-08rxrpc: Rewrite the data and ack handling codeDavid Howells
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>

2016-06-10rxrpc: Limit the listening backlogDavid Howells
Limit the socket incoming call backlog queue size so that a remote client can't pump in sufficient new calls that the server runs out of memory. Note that this is partially theoretical at the moment since whilst the number of calls is limited, the number of packets trying to set up new calls is not. This will be addressed in a later patch. If the caller of listen() specifies a backlog INT_MAX, then they get the current maximum; anything else greater than max_backlog or anything negative incurs EINVAL. The limit on the maximum queue size can be set by: echo N >/proc/sys/net/rxrpc/max_backlog where 4<=N<=32. Further, set the default backlog to 0, requiring listen() to be called before we start actually queueing new calls. Whilst this kind of is a change in the UAPI, the caller can't actually *accept* new calls anyway unless they've first called listen() to put the socket into the LISTENING state - thus the aforementioned new calls would otherwise just sit there, eating up kernel memory. (Note that sockets that don't have a non-zero service ID bound don't get incoming calls anyway.) Given that the default backlog is now 0, make the AFS filesystem call kernel_listen() to set the maximum backlog for itself. Possible improvements include: (1) Trimming a too-large backlog to max_backlog when listen is called. (2) Trimming the backlog value whenever the value is used so that changes to max_backlog are applied to an open socket automatically. Note that the AFS filesystem opens one socket and keeps it open for extended periods, so would miss out on changes to max_backlog. (3) Having a separate setting for the AFS filesystem.
