Commit ed42989eab ("tipc: fix the skb_unshare() in tipc_buf_append()")
replaced skb_unshare() with skb_copy() to not reduce the data reference
counter of the original skb intentionally. This is not the correct
way to handle the cloned skb because it causes memory leak in 2
following cases:
1/ Sending multicast messages via broadcast link
The original skb list is cloned to the local skb list for local
destination. After that, the data reference counter of each skb
in the original list has the value of 2. This causes each skb not
to be freed after receiving ACK:
tipc_link_advance_transmq()
{
...
/* release skb */
__skb_unlink(skb, &l->transmq);
kfree_skb(skb); <-- memory exists after being freed
}
2/ Sending multicast messages via replicast link
Similar to the above case, each skb cannot be freed after purging
the skb list:
tipc_mcast_xmit()
{
...
__skb_queue_purge(pkts); <-- memory exists after being freed
}
This commit fixes this issue by using skb_unshare() instead. Besides,
to avoid use-after-free error reported by KASAN, the pointer to the
fragment is set to NULL before calling skb_unshare() to make sure that
the original skb is not freed after freeing the fragment 2 times in
case skb_unshare() returns NULL.

In commit 16ad3f4022
("tipc: introduce variable window congestion control"), we applied
the algorithm to select window size from minimum window to the
configured maximum window for unicast link, and, besides we chose
to keep the window size for broadcast link unchanged and equal (i.e
fix window 50)
However, when setting maximum window variable via command, the window
variable was re-initialized to unexpect value (i.e 32).
We fix this by updating the fix window for broadcast as we stated.

skb_unshare() drops a reference count on the old skb unconditionally,
so in the failure case, we end up freeing the skb twice here.
And because the skb is allocated in fclone and cloned by caller
tipc_msg_reassemble(), the consequence is actually freeing the
original skb too, thus triggered the UAF by syzbot.
Fix this by replacing this skb_unshare() with skb_cloned()+skb_copy().

Rekeying is required for security since a key is less secure when using
for a long time. Also, key will be detached when its nonce value (or
seqno ...) is exhausted. We now make the rekeying process automatic and
configurable by user.
Basically, TIPC will at a specific interval generate a new key by using
the kernel 'Random Number Generator' cipher, then attach it as the node
TX key and securely distribute to others in the cluster as RX keys (-
the key exchange). The automatic key switching will then take over, and
make the new key active shortly. Afterwards, the traffic from this node
will be encrypted with the new session key. The same can happen in peer
nodes but not necessarily at the same time.
For simplicity, the automatically generated key will be initiated as a
per node key. It is not too hard to also support a cluster key rekeying
(e.g. a given node will generate a unique cluster key and update to the
others in the cluster...), but that doesn't bring much benefit, while a
per-node key is even more secure.
We also enable user to force a rekeying or change the rekeying interval
via netlink, the new 'set key' command option: 'TIPC_NLA_NODE_REKEYING'
is added for these purposes as follows:
- A value >= 1 will be set as the rekeying interval (in minutes);
- A value of 0 will disable the rekeying;
- A value of 'TIPC_REKEYING_NOW' (~0) will force an immediate rekeying;
The default rekeying interval is (60 * 24) minutes i.e. done every day.
There isn't any restriction for the value but user shouldn't set it too
small or too large which results in an "ineffective" rekeying (thats ok
for testing though).

With support from the master key option in the previous commit, it
becomes easy to make frequent updates/exchanges of session keys between
authenticated cluster nodes.
Basically, there are two situations where the key exchange will take in
place:
- When a new node joins the cluster (with the master key), it will need
to get its peer's TX key, so that be able to decrypt further messages
from that peer.
- When a new session key is generated (by either user manual setting or
later automatic rekeying feature), the key will be distributed to all
peer nodes in the cluster.
A key to be exchanged is encapsulated in the data part of a 'MSG_CRYPTO
/KEY_DISTR_MSG' TIPC v2 message, then xmit-ed as usual and encrypted by
using the master key before sending out. Upon receipt of the message it
will be decrypted in the same way as regular messages, then attached as
the sender's RX key in the receiver node.
In this way, the key exchange is reliable by the link layer, as well as
security, integrity and authenticity by the crypto layer.
Also, the forward security will be easily achieved by user changing the
master key actively but this should not be required very frequently.
The key exchange feature is independent on the presence of a master key
Note however that the master key still is needed for new nodes to be
able to join the cluster. It is also optional, and can be turned off/on
via the sysfs: 'net/tipc/key_exchange_enabled' [default 1: enabled].
Backward compatibility is guaranteed because for nodes that do not have
master key support, key exchange using master key ie. tx_key = 0 if any
will be shortly discarded at the message validation step. In other
words, the key exchange feature will be automatically disabled to those
nodes.
v2: fix the "implicit declaration of function 'tipc_crypto_key_flush'"
error in node.c. The function only exists when built with the TIPC
"CONFIG_TIPC_CRYPTO" option.
v3: use 'info->extack' for a message emitted due to netlink operations
instead (- David's comment).

In addition to the supported cluster & per-node encryption keys for the
en/decryption of TIPC messages, we now introduce one option for user to
set a cluster key as 'master key', which is simply a symmetric key like
the former but has a longer life cycle. It has two purposes:
- Authentication of new member nodes in the cluster. New nodes, having
no knowledge of current session keys in the cluster will still be
able to join the cluster as long as they know the master key. This is
because all neighbor discovery (LINK_CONFIG) messages must be
encrypted with this key.
- Encryption of session encryption keys during automatic exchange and
update of those.This is a feature we will introduce in a later commit
in this series.
We insert the new key into the currently unused slot 0 in the key array
and start using it immediately once the user has set it.
After joining, a node only knowing the master key should be fully
communicable to existing nodes in the cluster, although those nodes may
have their own session keys activated (i.e. not the master one). To
support this, we define a 'grace period', starting from the time a node
itself reports having no RX keys, so the existing nodes will use the
master key for encryption instead. The grace period can be extended but
will automatically stop after e.g. 5 seconds without a new report. This
is also the basis for later key exchanging feature as the new node will
be impossible to decrypt anything without the support from master key.
For user to set a master key, we define a new netlink flag -
'TIPC_NLA_NODE_KEY_MASTER', so it can be added to the current 'set key'
netlink command to specify the setting key to be a master key.
Above all, the traditional cluster/per-node key mechanism is guaranteed
to work when user comes not to use this master key option. This is also
compatible to legacy nodes without the feature supported.
Even this master key can be updated without any interruption of cluster
connectivity but is so is needed, this has to be coordinated and set by
the user.

We reduce the lasting time for a pending TX key to be active as well as
for a passive RX key to be freed which generally helps speed up the key
switching. It is not expected to be too fast but should not be too slow
either. Also the key handling logic is simplified that a pending RX key
will be removed automatically if it is found not working after a number
of times; the probing for a pending TX key is now carried on a specific
message user ('LINK_PROTOCOL' or 'LINK_CONFIG') which is more efficient
than using a timer on broadcast messages, the timer is reserved for use
later as needed.
The kernel logs or 'pr***()' are now made as clear as possible to user.
Some prints are added, removed or changed to the debug-level. The
'TIPC_CRYPTO_DEBUG' definition is removed, and the 'pr_debug()' is used
instead which will be much helpful in runtime.
Besides we also optimize the code in some other places as a preparation
for later commits.
v2: silent more kernel logs, also use 'info->extack' for a message
emitted due to netlink operations instead (- David's comments).

unconditionally setting sk->sk_shutdown to SHUTDOWN_MASK will be the right

syzbot is reporting hung task at nbd_ioctl() [1], for there are two
problems regarding TIPC's connectionless socket's shutdown() operation.
----------
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/nbd.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
const int fd = open("/dev/nbd0", 3);
alarm(5);
ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SOCK, socket(PF_TIPC, SOCK_DGRAM, 0));
ioctl(fd, NBD_DO_IT, 0); /* To be interrupted by SIGALRM. */
return 0;
}
----------
One problem is that wait_for_completion() from flush_workqueue() from
nbd_start_device_ioctl() from nbd_ioctl() cannot be completed when
nbd_start_device_ioctl() received a signal at wait_event_interruptible(),
for tipc_shutdown() from kernel_sock_shutdown(SHUT_RDWR) from
nbd_mark_nsock_dead() from sock_shutdown() from nbd_start_device_ioctl()
is failing to wake up a WQ thread sleeping at wait_woken() from
tipc_wait_for_rcvmsg() from sock_recvmsg() from sock_xmit() from
nbd_read_stat() from recv_work() scheduled by nbd_start_device() from
nbd_start_device_ioctl(). Fix this problem by always invoking
sk->sk_state_change() (like inet_shutdown() does) when tipc_shutdown() is
called.
The other problem is that tipc_wait_for_rcvmsg() cannot return when
tipc_shutdown() is called, for tipc_shutdown() sets sk->sk_shutdown to
SEND_SHUTDOWN (despite "how" is SHUT_RDWR) while tipc_wait_for_rcvmsg()
needs sk->sk_shutdown set to RCV_SHUTDOWN or SHUTDOWN_MASK. Fix this
problem by setting sk->sk_shutdown to SHUTDOWN_MASK (like inet_shutdown()
does) when the socket is connectionless.

This patch is to do 3 things for ipv6_dev_find():
As David A. noticed,
- rt6_lookup() is not really needed. Different from __ip_dev_find(),
ipv6_dev_find() doesn't have a compatibility problem, so remove it.
As Hideaki suggested,
- "valid" (non-tentative) check for the address is also needed.
ipv6_chk_addr() calls ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags(), which will
traverse the address hash list, but it's heavy to be called
inside ipv6_dev_find(). This patch is to reuse the code of
ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags() for ipv6_dev_find().
- dev parameter is passed into ipv6_dev_find(), as link-local
addresses from user space has sin6_scope_id set and the dev
lookup needs it.

__tipc_nl_compat_dumpit() has two callers, and it expects them to
pass a valid nlmsghdr via arg->data. This header is artificial and
crafted just for __tipc_nl_compat_dumpit().
tipc_nl_compat_publ_dump() does so by putting a genlmsghdr as well
as some nested attribute, TIPC_NLA_SOCK. But the other caller
tipc_nl_compat_dumpit() does not, this leaves arg->data uninitialized
on this call path.
Fix this by just adding a similar nlmsghdr without any payload in
tipc_nl_compat_dumpit().
This bug exists since day 1, but the recent commit 6ea67769ff
("net: tipc: prepare attrs in __tipc_nl_compat_dumpit()") makes it

As said by Linus:
A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
Otherwise it's actively misleading.
In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
caller wants.
In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.
The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.
Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.
The renaming is done by using the command sequence:
git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'
followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

The UDP reuseport conflict was a little bit tricky.
The net-next code, via bpf-next, extracted the reuseport handling
into a helper so that the BPF sk lookup code could invoke it.
At the same time, the logic for reuseport handling of unconnected
sockets changed via commit efc6b6f6c3
which changed the logic to carry on the reuseport result into the
rest of the lookup loop if we do not return immediately.
This requires moving the reuseport_has_conns() logic into the callers.
While we are here, get rid of inline directives as they do not belong
in foo.c files.
The other changes were cases of more straightforward overlapping
modifications.

Commit 02288248b0 ("tipc: eliminate gap indicator from ACK messages")
eliminated sending of the 'gap' indicator in regular ACK messages and
only allowed to build NACK message with enabled probe/probe_reply.
However, necessary correction for building NACK message was missed
in tipc_link_timeout() function. This leads to significant delay and
link reset (due to retransmission failure) in lossy environment.
This commit fixes it by setting the 'probe' flag to 'true' when
the receive deferred queue is not empty. As a result, NACK message
will be built to send back to another peer.

A scenario has been observed where a 'bc_init' message for a link is not
retransmitted if it fails to be received by the peer. This leads to the
peer never establishing the link fully and it discarding all other data
received on the link. In this scenario the message is lost in transit to
the peer.
The issue is traced to the 'nxt_retr' field of the skb not being
initialised for links that aren't a bc_sndlink. This leads to the
comparison in tipc_link_advance_transmq() that gates whether to attempt
retransmission of a message performing in an undesirable way.
Depending on the relative value of 'jiffies', this comparison:
time_before(jiffies, TIPC_SKB_CB(skb)->nxt_retr)
may return true or false given that 'nxt_retr' remains at the
uninitialised value of 0 for non bc_sndlinks.
This is most noticeable shortly after boot when jiffies is initialised
to a high value (to flush out rollover bugs) and we compare a jiffies of,
say, 4294940189 to zero. In that case time_before returns 'true' leading
to the skb not being retransmitted.
The fix is to ensure that all skbs have a valid 'nxt_retr' time set for
them and this is achieved by refactoring the setting of this value into
a central function.
With this fix, transmission losses of 'bc_init' messages do not stall
the link establishment forever because the 'bc_init' message is
retransmitted and the link eventually establishes correctly.

Currently, updating binding table (add service binding to
name table/withdraw a service binding) is being sent over replicast.
However, if we are scaling up clusters to > 100 nodes/containers this
method is less affection because of looping through nodes in a cluster one
by one.
It is worth to use broadcast to update a binding service. This way, the
binding table can be updated on all peer nodes in one shot.
Broadcast is used when all peer nodes, as indicated by a new capability
flag TIPC_NAMED_BCAST, support reception of this message type.
Four problems need to be considered when introducing this feature.
1) When establishing a link to a new peer node we still update this by a
unicast 'bulk' update. This may lead to race conditions, where a later
broadcast publication/withdrawal bypass the 'bulk', resulting in
disordered publications, or even that a withdrawal may arrive before the
corresponding publication. We solve this by adding an 'is_last_bulk' bit
in the last bulk messages so that it can be distinguished from all other
messages. Only when this message has arrived do we open up for reception
of broadcast publications/withdrawals.
2) When a first legacy node is added to the cluster all distribution
will switch over to use the legacy 'replicast' method, while the
opposite happens when the last legacy node leaves the cluster. This
entails another risk of message disordering that has to be handled. We
solve this by adding a sequence number to the broadcast/replicast
messages, so that disordering can be discovered and corrected. Note
however that we don't need to consider potential message loss or
duplication at this protocol level.
3) Bulk messages don't contain any sequence numbers, and will always
arrive in order. Hence we must exempt those from the sequence number
control and deliver them unconditionally. We solve this by adding a new
'is_bulk' bit in those messages so that they can be recognized.
4) Legacy messages, which don't contain any new bits or sequence
numbers, but neither can arrive out of order, also need to be exempt
from the initial synchronization and sequence number check, and
delivered unconditionally. Therefore, we add another 'is_not_legacy' bit
to all new messages so that those can be distinguished from legacy
messages and the latter delivered directly.

When a bearer is enabled, we create a 'tipc_discoverer' object to store
the bearer related data along with a timer and a preformatted discovery
message buffer for later probing... However, this is only carried after
the bearer was set 'up', that left a race condition resulting in kernel
panic.
It occurs when a discovery message from a peer node is received and
processed in bottom half (since the bearer is 'up' already) just before
the discoverer object is created but is now accessed in order to update
the preformatted buffer (with a new trial address, ...) so leads to the
NULL pointer dereference.
We solve the problem by simply moving the bearer 'up' setting to later,
so make sure everything is ready prior to any message receiving.

This happens after commit 5e9eeccc58 ("tipc: fix NULL pointer
dereference in streaming") that tried to build at least one buffer even
when the message data length is zero... However, it now exposes another
bug that the 'mss' can be zero and the 'cpy' will be negative, thus the
above kernel WARNING will appear!
The zero value of 'mss' is never expected because it means Nagle is not
enabled for the socket (actually the socket type was 'SOCK_SEQPACKET'),
so the function 'tipc_msg_append()' must not be called at all. But that
was in this particular case since the message data length was zero, and
the 'send <= maxnagle' check became true.
We resolve the issue by explicitly checking if Nagle is enabled for the
socket, i.e. 'maxnagle != 0' before calling the 'tipc_msg_append()'. We
also reinforce the function to against such a negative values if any.

This bug was bisected to commit 0a3e060f34 ("tipc: add test for Nagle
algorithm effectiveness"). However, it is not the case, the trouble was
from the base in the case of zero data length message sending, we would
unexpectedly make an empty 'txq' queue after the 'tipc_msg_append()' in
Nagle mode.
A similar crash can be generated even without the bisected patch but at
the link layer when it accesses the empty queue.
We solve the issues by building at least one buffer to go with socket's
header and an optional data section that may be empty like what we had
with the 'tipc_msg_build()'.
Note: the previous commit 4c21daae3d ("tipc: Fix NULL pointer
dereference in __tipc_sendstream()") is obsoleted by this one since the
'txq' will be never empty and the check of 'skb != NULL' is unnecessary
but it is safe anyway.

This reverts commit de05842076.
There is no actual tipc_node refcnt leak as stated in the above commit.
The refcnt is hold carefully for the case of an asynchronous decryption
(i.e. -EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY and skb = NULL is returned), so that the node
object cannot be freed in the meantime. The counter will be re-balanced
when the operation's callback arrives with the decrypted buffer if any.
In other cases, e.g. a synchronous crypto the counter will be decreased
immediately when it is done.
Now with that commit, a kernel panic will occur when there is no node
found (i.e. n = NULL) in the 'tipc_rcv()' or a premature release of the
node object.
This commit solves the issues by reverting the said commit, but keeping
one valid case that the 'skb_linearize()' is failed.

When streaming in Nagle mode, we try to bundle small messages from user
as many as possible if there is one outstanding buffer, i.e. not ACK-ed
by the receiving side, which helps boost up the overall throughput. So,
the algorithm's effectiveness really depends on when Nagle ACK comes or
what the specific network latency (RTT) is, compared to the user's
message sending rate.
In a bad case, the user's sending rate is low or the network latency is
small, there will not be many bundles, so making a Nagle ACK or waiting
for it is not meaningful.
For example: a user sends its messages every 100ms and the RTT is 50ms,
then for each messages, we require one Nagle ACK but then there is only
one user message sent without any bundles.
In a better case, even if we have a few bundles (e.g. the RTT = 300ms),
but now the user sends messages in medium size, then there will not be
any difference at all, that says 3 x 1000-byte data messages if bundled
will still result in 3 bundles with MTU = 1500.
When Nagle is ineffective, the delay in user message sending is clearly
wasted instead of sending directly.
Besides, adding Nagle ACKs will consume some processor load on both the
sending and receiving sides.
This commit adds a test on the effectiveness of the Nagle algorithm for
an individual connection in the network on which it actually runs.
Particularly, upon receipt of a Nagle ACK we will compare the number of
bundles in the backlog queue to the number of user messages which would
be sent directly without Nagle. If the ratio is good (e.g. >= 2), Nagle
mode will be kept for further message sending. Otherwise, we will leave
Nagle and put a 'penalty' on the connection, so it will have to spend
more 'one-way' messages before being able to re-enter Nagle.
In addition, the 'ack-required' bit is only set when really needed that
the number of Nagle ACKs will be reduced during Nagle mode.
Testing with benchmark showed that with the patch, there was not much
difference in throughput for small messages since the tool continuously
sends messages without a break, so Nagle would still take in effect.

This commit enables dumping the statistics of a broadcast-receiver link
like the traditional 'broadcast-link' one (which is for broadcast-
sender). The link dumping can be triggered via netlink (e.g. the
iproute2/tipc tool) by the link flag - 'TIPC_NLA_LINK_BROADCAST' as the
indicator.
The name of a broadcast-receiver link of a specific peer will be in the
format: 'broadcast-link:<peer-id>'.
For example:
Link <broadcast-link:1001002>
Window:50 packets
RX packets:7841 fragments:2408/440 bundles:0/0
TX packets:0 fragments:0/0 bundles:0/0
RX naks:0 defs:124 dups:0
TX naks:21 acks:0 retrans:0
Congestion link:0 Send queue max:0 avg:0
In addition, the broadcast-receiver link statistics can be reset in the
usual way via netlink by specifying that link name in command.
Note: the 'tipc_link_name_ext()' is removed because the link name can
now be retrieved simply via the 'l->name'.

In some environment, broadcast traffic is suppressed at high rate (i.e.
a kind of bandwidth limit setting). When it is applied, TIPC broadcast
can still run successfully. However, when it comes to a high load, some
packets will be dropped first and TIPC tries to retransmit them but the
packet retransmission is intentionally broadcast too, so making things
worse and not helpful at all.
This commit enables the broadcast retransmission via unicast which only
retransmits packets to the specific peer that has really reported a gap
i.e. not broadcasting to all nodes in the cluster, so will prevent from
being suppressed, and also reduce some overheads on the other peers due
to duplicates, finally improve the overall TIPC broadcast performance.
Note: the functionality can be turned on/off via the sysctl file:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/tipc/bc_retruni
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/tipc/bc_retruni
Default is '0', i.e. the broadcast retransmission still works as usual.

As achieved through commit 9195948fbf ("tipc: improve TIPC throughput
by Gap ACK blocks"), we apply the same mechanism for the broadcast link
as well. The 'Gap ACK blocks' data field in a 'PROTOCOL/STATE_MSG' will
consist of two parts built for both the broadcast and unicast types:
31 16 15 0
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| bgack_cnt | ugack_cnt | len |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ -
| gap | ack | |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ > bc gacks
: : : |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ -
| gap | ack | |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ > uc gacks
: : : |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ -
which is "automatically" backward-compatible.
We also increase the max number of Gap ACK blocks to 128, allowing upto
64 blocks per type (total buffer size = 516 bytes).
Besides, the 'tipc_link_advance_transmq()' function is refactored which
is applicable for both the unicast and broadcast cases now, so some old
functions can be removed and the code is optimized.
With the patch, TIPC broadcast is more robust regardless of packet loss
or disorder, latency, ... in the underlying network. Its performance is
boost up significantly.
For example, experiment with a 5% packet loss rate results:
$ time tipc-pipe --mc --rdm --data_size 123 --data_num 1500000
real 0m 42.46s
user 0m 1.16s
sys 0m 17.67s
Without the patch:
$ time tipc-pipe --mc --rdm --data_size 123 --data_num 1500000
real 8m 27.94s

When a service subscription is expired or canceled by user, it needs to
be deleted from the subscription list, so that new subscriptions can be
registered (max = 65535 per net). However, there are two issues in code
that can cause such an unused subscription to persist:
1) The 'tipc_conn_delete_sub()' has a loop on the subscription list but
it makes a break shortly when the 1st subscription differs from the one
specified, so the subscription will not be deleted.
2) In case a subscription is canceled, the code to remove the
'TIPC_SUB_CANCEL' flag from the subscription filter does not work if it
is a local subscription (i.e. the little endian isn't involved). So, it
will be no matches when looking for the subscription to delete later.
The subscription(s) will be removed eventually when the user terminates
its topology connection but that could be a long time later. Meanwhile,
the number of available subscriptions may be exhausted.
This commit fixes the two issues above, so as needed a subscription can
be deleted correctly.

Upon receipt of a service subscription request from user via a topology
connection, one 'sub' object will be allocated in kernel, so it will be
able to send an event of the service if any to the user correspondingly
then. Also, in case of any failure, the connection will be shutdown and
all the pertaining 'sub' objects will be freed.
However, there is a race condition as follows resulting in memory leak:
receive-work connection send-work
| | |
sub-1 |<------//-------| |
sub-2 |<------//-------| |
| |<---------------| evt for sub-x
sub-3 |<------//-------| |
: : :
: : :
| /--------| |
| | * peer closed |
| | | |
| | |<-------X-------| evt for sub-y
| | |<===============|
sub-n |<------/ X shutdown |
-> orphan | |
That is, the 'receive-work' may get the last subscription request while
the 'send-work' is shutting down the connection due to peer close.
We had a 'lock' on the connection, so the two actions cannot be carried
out simultaneously. If the last subscription is allocated e.g. 'sub-n',
before the 'send-work' closes the connection, there will be no issue at
all, the 'sub' objects will be freed. In contrast the last subscription
will become orphan since the connection was closed, and we released all
references.
This commit fixes the issue by simply adding one test if the connection
remains in 'connected' state right after we obtain the connection lock,
then a subscription object can be created as usual, otherwise we ignore
it.

Currently when a connection is in Nagle mode, we set the 'ack_required'
bit in the last sending buffer and wait for the corresponding ACK prior
to pushing more data. However, on the receiving side, the ACK is issued
only when application really reads the whole data. Even if part of the
last buffer is received, we will not do the ACK as required. This might
cause an unnecessary delay since the receiver does not always fetch the
message as fast as the sender, resulting in a large latency in the user
message sending, which is: [one RTT + the receiver processing time].
The commit makes Nagle ACK as soon as possible i.e. when a message with
the 'ack_required' arrives in the receiving side's stack even before it
is processed or put in the socket receive queue...
This way, we can limit the streaming latency to one RTT as committed in
Nagle mode.

When an application connects to the TIPC topology server and subscribes
to some services, a new connection is created along with some objects -
'tipc_subscription' to store related data correspondingly...
However, there is one omission in the connection handling that when the
connection or application is orderly shutdown (e.g. via SIGQUIT, etc.),
the connection is not closed in kernel, the 'tipc_subscription' objects
are not freed too.
This results in:
- The maximum number of subscriptions (65535) will be reached soon, new
subscriptions will be rejected;
- TIPC module cannot be removed (unless the objects are somehow forced
to release first);
The commit fixes the issue by closing the connection if the 'recvmsg()'
returns '0' i.e. when the peer is shutdown gracefully. It also includes
the other unexpected cases.

In commit 16ad3f4022 ("tipc: introduce variable window congestion
control"), we allow link window to change with the congestion avoidance
algorithm. However, there is a bug that during the slow-start if packet
retransmission occurs, the link will enter the fast-recovery phase, set
its window to the 'ssthresh' which is never less than 300, so the link
window suddenly increases to that limit instead of decreasing.
Consequently, two issues have been observed:
- For broadcast-link: it can leave a gap between the link queues that a
new packet will be inserted and sent before the previous ones, i.e. not
in-order.
- For unicast: the algorithm does not work as expected, the link window
jumps to the slow-start threshold whereas packet retransmission occurs.
This commit fixes the issues by avoiding such the link window increase,
but still decreasing if the 'ssthresh' is lowered.

In commit 9546a0b7ce ("tipc: fix wrong connect() return code"), we
fixed the issue with the 'connect()' that returns zero even though the
connecting has failed by waiting for the connection to be 'ESTABLISHED'
really. However, the approach has one drawback in conjunction with our
'lightweight' connection setup mechanism that the following scenario
can happen:
(server) (client)
+- accept()| | wait_for_conn()
| | |connect() -------+
| |<-------[SYN]---------| > sleeping
| | *CONNECTING |
|--------->*ESTABLISHED | |
|--------[ACK]-------->*ESTABLISHED > wakeup()
send()|--------[DATA]------->|\ > wakeup()
send()|--------[DATA]------->| | > wakeup()
. . . . |-> recvq .
. . . . | .
send()|--------[DATA]------->|/ > wakeup()
close()|--------[FIN]-------->*DISCONNECTING |
*DISCONNECTING | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> schedule()
| wait again
.
.
| ETIMEDOUT
Upon the receipt of the server 'ACK', the client becomes 'ESTABLISHED'
and the 'wait_for_conn()' process is woken up but not run. Meanwhile,
the server starts to send a number of data following by a 'close()'
shortly without waiting any response from the client, which then forces
the client socket to be 'DISCONNECTING' immediately. When the wait
process is switched to be running, it continues to wait until the timer
expires because of the unexpected socket state. The client 'connect()'
will finally get ‘-ETIMEDOUT’ and force to release the socket whereas
there remains the messages in its receive queue.
Obviously the issue would not happen if the server had some delay prior
to its 'close()' (or the number of 'DATA' messages is large enough),
but any kind of delay would make the connection setup/shutdown "heavy".
We solve this by simply allowing the 'connect()' returns zero in this
particular case. The socket is already 'DISCONNECTING', so any further
write will get '-EPIPE' but the socket is still able to read the
messages existing in its receive queue.
Note: This solution doesn't break the previous one as it deals with a
different situation that the socket state is 'DISCONNECTING' but has no
error (i.e. sk->sk_err = 0).

The current 'tipc_wait_for_connect()' function does a wait-loop for the
condition 'sk->sk_state != TIPC_CONNECTING' to conclude if the socket
connecting has done. However, when the condition is met, it returns '0'
even in the case the connecting is actually failed, the socket state is
set to 'TIPC_DISCONNECTING' (e.g. when the server socket has closed..).
This results in a wrong return code for the 'connect()' call from user,
making it believe that the connection is established and go ahead with
building, sending a message, etc. but finally failed e.g. '-EPIPE'.
This commit fixes the issue by changing the wait condition to the
'tipc_sk_connected(sk)', so the function will return '0' only when the
connection is really established. Otherwise, either the socket 'sk_err'
if any or '-ETIMEDOUT'/'-EINTR' will be returned correspondingly.

When a socket is suddenly shutdown or released, it will reject all the
unreceived messages in its receive queue. This applies to a connected
socket too, whereas there is only one 'FIN' message required to be sent
back to its peer in this case.
In case there are many messages in the queue and/or some connections
with such messages are shutdown at the same time, the link layer will
easily get overflowed at the 'TIPC_SYSTEM_IMPORTANCE' backlog level
because of the message rejections. As a result, the link will be taken
down. Moreover, immediately when the link is re-established, the socket
layer can continue to reject the messages and the same issue happens...
The commit refactors the '__tipc_shutdown()' function to only send one
'FIN' in the situation mentioned above. For the connectionless case, it
is unavoidable but usually there is no rejections for such socket
messages because they are 'dest-droppable' by default.
In addition, the new code makes the other socket states clear
(e.g.'TIPC_LISTEN') and treats as a separate case to avoid misbehaving.

In the commit referred to below we eliminated sending of the 'gap'
indicator in regular ACK messages, reserving this to explicit NACK
ditto.
Unfortunately we missed to also eliminate building of the 'gap block'
area in ACK messages. This area is meant to report gaps in the
received packet sequence following the initial gap, so that lost
packets can be retransmitted earlier and received out-of-sequence
packets can be released earlier. However, the interpretation of those
blocks is dependent on a complete and correct sequence of gaps and
acks. Hence, when the initial gap indicator is missing a single gap
block will be interpreted as an acknowledgment of all preceding
packets. This may lead to packets being released prematurely from the
sender's transmit queue, with easily predicatble consequences.
We now fix this by not building any gap block area if there is no
initial gap to report.

When a user message is sent, TIPC will check if the socket has faced a
congestion at link layer. If that happens, it will make a sleep to wait
for the congestion to disappear. This leaves a gap for other users to
take over the socket (e.g. multi threads) since the socket is released
as well. Also, in case of connectionless (e.g. SOCK_RDM), user is free
to send messages to various destinations (e.g. via 'sendto()'), then
the socket's preformatted header has to be updated correspondingly
prior to the actual payload message building.
Unfortunately, the latter action is done before the first action which
causes a condition issue that the destination of a certain message can
be modified incorrectly in the middle, leading to wrong destination
when that message is built. Consequently, when the message is sent to
the link layer, it gets stuck there forever because the peer node will
simply reject it. After a number of retransmission attempts, the link
is eventually taken down and the retransmission failure is reported.
This commit fixes the problem by rearranging the order of actions to
prevent the race condition from occurring, so the message building is
'atomic' and its header will not be modified by anyone.

In commit c55c8edafa ("tipc: smooth change between replicast and
broadcast"), we allow instant switching between replicast and broadcast
by sending a dummy 'SYN' packet on the last used link to synchronize
packets on the links. The 'SYN' message is an object of link congestion
also, so if that happens, a 'SOCK_WAKEUP' will be scheduled to be sent
back to the socket...
However, in that commit, we simply use the same socket 'cong_link_cnt'
counter for both the 'SYN' & normal payload message sending. Therefore,
if both the replicast & broadcast links are congested, the counter will
be not updated correctly but overwritten by the latter congestion.
Later on, when the 'SOCK_WAKEUP' messages are processed, the counter is
reduced one by one and eventually overflowed. Consequently, further
activities on the socket will only wait for the false congestion signal
to disappear but never been met.
Because sending the 'SYN' message is vital for the mechanism, it should
be done anyway. This commit fixes the issue by marking the message with
an error code e.g. 'TIPC_ERR_NO_PORT', so its sending should not face a
link congestion, there is no need to touch the socket 'cong_link_cnt'
either. In addition, in the event of any error (e.g. -ENOBUFS), we will
purge the entire payload message queue and make a return immediately.

The current rbtree for service ranges in the name table is built based
on the 'lower' & 'upper' range values resulting in a flaw in the rbtree
searching. Some issues have been observed in case of range overlapping:
Case #1: unable to withdraw a name entry:
After some name services are bound, all of them are withdrawn by user
but one remains in the name table forever. This corrupts the table and
that service becomes dummy i.e. no real port.
E.g.
/
{22, 22}
/
/
---> {10, 50}
/ \
/ \
{10, 30} {20, 60}
The node {10, 30} cannot be removed since the rbtree searching stops at
the node's ancestor i.e. {10, 50}, so starting from it will never reach
the finding node.
Case #2: failed to send data in some cases:
E.g. Two service ranges: {20, 60}, {10, 50} are bound. The rbtree for
this service will be one of the two cases below depending on the order
of the bindings:
{20, 60} {10, 50} <--
/ \ / \
/ \ / \
{10, 50} NIL <-- NIL {20, 60}
(a) (b)
Now, try to send some data to service {30}, there will be two results:
(a): Failed, no route to host.
(b): Ok.
The reason is that the rbtree searching will stop at the pointing node
as shown above.
Case #3: Same as case #2b above but if the data sending's scope is
local and the {10, 50} is published by a peer node, then it will result
in 'no route to host' even though the other {20, 60} is for example on
the local node which should be able to get the data.
The issues are actually due to the way we built the rbtree. This commit
fixes it by introducing an additional field to each node - named 'max',
which is the largest 'upper' of that node subtree. The 'max' value for
each subtrees will be propagated correctly whenever a node is inserted/
removed or the tree is rebalanced by the augmented rbtree callbacks.
By this way, we can change the rbtree searching appoarch to solve the
issues above. Another benefit from this is that we can now improve the
searching for a next range matching e.g. in case of multicast, so get
rid of the unneeded looping over all nodes in the tree.

We introduce a simple variable window congestion control for links.
The algorithm is inspired by the Reno algorithm, covering both 'slow
start', 'congestion avoidance', and 'fast recovery' modes.
- We introduce hard lower and upper window limits per link, still
different and configurable per bearer type.
- We introduce a 'slow start theshold' variable, initially set to
the maximum window size.
- We let a link start at the minimum congestion window, i.e. in slow
start mode, and then let is grow rapidly (+1 per rceived ACK) until
it reaches the slow start threshold and enters congestion avoidance
mode.
- In congestion avoidance mode we increment the congestion window for
each window-size number of acked packets, up to a possible maximum
equal to the configured maximum window.
- For each non-duplicate NACK received, we drop back to fast recovery
mode, by setting the both the slow start threshold to and the
congestion window to (current_congestion_window / 2).
- If the timeout handler finds that the transmit queue has not moved
since the previous timeout, it drops the link back to slow start
and forces a probe containing the last sent sequence number to the
sent to the peer, so that this can discover the stale situation.
This change does in reality have effect only on unicast ethernet
transport, as we have seen that there is no room whatsoever for
increasing the window max size for the UDP bearer.
For now, we also choose to keep the limits for the broadcast link
unchanged and equal.
This algorithm seems to give a 50-100% throughput improvement for
messages larger than MTU.

When we increase the link tranmsit window we often observe the following
scenario:
1) A STATE message bypasses a sequence of traffic packets and arrives
far ahead of those to the receiver. STATE messages contain a
'peers_nxt_snt' field to indicate which was the last packet sent
from the peer. This mechanism is intended as a last resort for the
receiver to detect missing packets, e.g., during very low traffic
when there is no packet flow to help early loss detection.
3) The receiving link compares the 'peer_nxt_snt' field to its own
'rcv_nxt', finds that there is a gap, and immediately sends a
NACK message back to the peer.
4) When this NACKs arrives at the sender, all the requested
retransmissions are performed, since it is a first-time request.
Just like in the scenario described in the previous commit this leads
to many redundant retransmissions, with decreased throughput as a
consequence.
We fix this by adding two more conditions before we send a NACK in
this sitution. First, the deferred queue must be empty, so we cannot
assume that the potential packet loss has already been detected by
other means. Second, we check the 'peers_snd_nxt' field only in probe/
probe_reply messages, thus turning this into a true mechanism of last
resort as it was really meant to be.

When we increase the link send window we sometimes observe the
following scenario:
1) A packet #N arrives out of order far ahead of a sequence of older
packets which are still under way. The packet is added to the
deferred queue.
2) The missing packets arrive in sequence, and for each 16th of them
an ACK is sent back to the receiver, as it should be.
3) When building those ACK messages, it is checked if there is a gap
between the link's 'rcv_nxt' and the first packet in the deferred
queue. This is always the case until packet number #N-1 arrives, and
a 'gap' indicator is added, effectively turning them into NACK
messages.
4) When those NACKs arrive at the sender, all the requested
retransmissions are done, since it is a first-time request.
This sometimes leads to a huge amount of redundant retransmissions,
causing a drop in max throughput. This problem gets worse when we
in a later commit introduce variable window congestion control,
since it drops the link back to 'fast recovery' much more often
than necessary.
We now fix this by not sending any 'gap' indicator in regular ACK
messages. We already have a mechanism for sending explicit NACKs
in place, and this is sufficient to keep up the packet flow.

Scenario:
1. A client socket initiates a SYN message to a listening socket.
2. The send link is congested, the SYN message is put in the
send link and a wakeup message is put in wakeup queue.
3. The congestion situation is abated, the wakeup message is
pulled out of the wakeup queue. Function tipc_sk_push_backlog()
is called to send out delayed messages by Nagle. However,
the client socket is still in CONNECTING state. So, it sends
the SYN message in the socket write queue to the listening socket
again.
4. The listening socket receives the first SYN message and creates
first server socket. The client socket receives ACK- and establishes
a connection to the first server socket. The client socket closes
its connection with the first server socket.
5. The listening socket receives the second SYN message and creates
second server socket. The second server socket sends ACK- to the
client socket, but it has been closed. It results in connection
reset error when reading from the server socket in user space.
Solution: return from function tipc_sk_push_backlog() immediately
if there is pending SYN message in the socket write queue.

It is observed that TIPC service binding order will not be kept in the
publication event report to user if the service is subscribed after the
bindings.
For example, services are bound by application in the following order:
Server: bound port A to {18888,66,66} scope 2
Server: bound port A to {18888,33,33} scope 2
Now, if a client subscribes to the service range (e.g. {18888, 0-100}),
it will get the 'TIPC_PUBLISHED' events in that binding order only when
the subscription is started before the bindings.
Otherwise, if started after the bindings, the events will arrive in the
opposite order:
Client: received event for published {18888,33,33}
Client: received event for published {18888,66,66}
For the latter case, it is clear that the bindings have existed in the
name table already, so when reported, the events' order will follow the
order of the rbtree binding nodes (- a node with lesser 'lower'/'upper'
range value will be first).
This is correct as we provide the tracking on a specific service status
(available or not), not the relationship between multiple services.
However, some users expect to see the same order of arriving events
irrespective of when the subscription is issued. This turns out to be
easy to fix. We now add functionality to ensure that publication events
always are issued in the same temporal order as the corresponding
bindings were performed.
v2: replace the unnecessary macro - 'publication_after()' with inline
function.
v3: reuse 'time_after32()' instead of reinventing the same exact code.

This commit offers an option to encrypt and authenticate all messaging,
including the neighbor discovery messages. The currently most advanced
algorithm supported is the AEAD AES-GCM (like IPSec or TLS). All
encryption/decryption is done at the bearer layer, just before leaving
or after entering TIPC.
Supported features:
- Encryption & authentication of all TIPC messages (header + data);
- Two symmetric-key modes: Cluster and Per-node;
- Automatic key switching;
- Key-expired revoking (sequence number wrapped);
- Lock-free encryption/decryption (RCU);
- Asynchronous crypto, Intel AES-NI supported;
- Multiple cipher transforms;
- Logs & statistics;
Two key modes:
- Cluster key mode: One single key is used for both TX & RX in all
nodes in the cluster.
- Per-node key mode: Each nodes in the cluster has one specific TX key.
For RX, a node requires its peers' TX key to be able to decrypt the
messages from those peers.
Key setting from user-space is performed via netlink by a user program
(e.g. the iproute2 'tipc' tool).
Internal key state machine:

(user = 1) (user >= 1)
The number of TFMs is 10 by default and can be changed via the procfs
'net/tipc/max_tfms'. At this moment, as for simplicity, this file is
also used to print the crypto statistics at runtime:
echo 0xfff1 > /proc/sys/net/tipc/max_tfms
The patch defines a new TIPC version (v7) for the encryption message (-
backward compatibility as well). The message is basically encapsulated
as follows:
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| TIPCv7 encryption | Original TIPCv2 | Authentication |
| header | packet (encrypted) | Tag |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
The throughput is about ~40% for small messages (compared with non-
encryption) and ~9% for large messages. With the support from hardware
crypto i.e. the Intel AES-NI CPU instructions, the throughput increases
upto ~85% for small messages and ~55% for large messages.
By default, the new feature is inactive (i.e. no encryption) until user
sets a key for TIPC. There is however also a new option - "TIPC_CRYPTO"
in the kernel configuration to enable/disable the new code when needed.

When user sets RX key for a peer not existing on the own node, a new
node entry is needed to which the RX key will be attached. However,
since the peer node address (& capabilities) is unknown at that moment,
only the node-ID is provided, this commit allows the creation of a node
with only the data that we call as “preliminary”.
A preliminary node is not the object of the “tipc_node_find()” but the
“tipc_node_find_by_id()”. Once the first message i.e. LINK_CONFIG comes
from that peer, and is successfully decrypted by the own node, the
actual peer node data will be properly updated and the node will
function as usual.
In addition, the node timer always starts when a node object is created
so if a preliminary node is not used, it will be cleaned up.
The later encryption functions will also use the node timer and be able
to create a preliminary node automatically when needed.

As a need to support the crypto asynchronous operations in the later
commits, apart from the current RCU mechanism for bearer pointer, we
add a 'refcnt' to the bearer object as well.
So, a bearer can be hold via 'tipc_bearer_hold()' without being freed
even though the bearer or interface can be disabled in the meanwhile.
If that happens, the bearer will be released then when the crypto
operation is completed and 'tipc_bearer_put()' is called.

Currently, we scan over all network namespaces at each received
discovery message in order to check if the sending peer might be
present in a host local namespaces.
This is unnecessary since we can assume that a peer will not change its
location during an established session.
We now improve the condition for this testing so that we don't perform
any redundant scans.

When preparing tunnel packets for the link failover or synchronization,
as for the safe algorithm, we added a dummy packet on the pair link but
never sent it out. In the case of failover, the pair link will be reset
anyway. But for link synching, it will always result in retransmission
of the dummy packet after that.
We have also observed that such the retransmission at the early stage
when a new node comes in a large cluster will take some time and hard
to be done, leading to the repeated retransmit failures and the link is
reset.
Since in commit 4929a932be ("tipc: optimize link synching mechanism")
we have already built a dummy 'TUNNEL_PROTOCOL' message on the new link
for the synchronization, there's no need for the dummy on the pair one,
this commit will skip it when the new mechanism takes in place. In case
nothing exists in the pair link's transmq, the link synching will just
start and stop shortly on the peer side.
The patch is backward compatible.

As mentioned in commit e95584a889 ("tipc: fix unlimited bundling of
small messages"), the current message bundling algorithm is inefficient
that can generate bundles of only one payload message, that causes
unnecessary overheads for both the sender and receiver.
This commit re-designs the 'tipc_msg_make_bundle()' function (now named
as 'tipc_msg_try_bundle()'), so that when a message comes at the first
place, we will just check & keep a reference to it if the message is
suitable for bundling. The message buffer will be put into the link
backlog queue and processed as normal. Later on, when another one comes
we will make a bundle with the first message if possible and so on...
This way, a bundle if really needed will always consist of at least two
payload messages. Otherwise, we let the first buffer go its way without
any need of bundling, so reduce the overheads to zero.
Moreover, since now we have both the messages in hand, we can even
optimize the 'tipc_msg_bundle()' function, make bundle of a very large
(size ~ MSS) and small messages which is not with the current algorithm
e.g. [1400-byte message] + [10-byte message] (MTU = 1500).

We introduce a feature that works like a combination of TCP_NAGLE and
TCP_CORK, but without some of the weaknesses of those. In particular,
we will not observe long delivery delays because of delayed acks, since
the algorithm itself decides if and when acks are to be sent from the
receiving peer.
- The nagle property as such is determined by manipulating a new
'maxnagle' field in struct tipc_sock. If certain conditions are met,
'maxnagle' will define max size of the messages which can be bundled.
If it is set to zero no messages are ever bundled, implying that the
nagle property is disabled.
- A socket with the nagle property enabled enters nagle mode when more
than 4 messages have been sent out without receiving any data message
from the peer.
- A socket leaves nagle mode whenever it receives a data message from
the peer.
In nagle mode, messages smaller than 'maxnagle' are accumulated in the
socket write queue. The last buffer in the queue is marked with a new
'ack_required' bit, which forces the receiving peer to send a CONN_ACK
message back to the sender upon reception.
The accumulated contents of the write queue is transmitted when one of
the following events or conditions occur.
- A CONN_ACK message is received from the peer.
- A data message is received from the peer.
- A SOCK_WAKEUP pseudo message is received from the link level.
- The write queue contains more than 64 1k blocks of data.
- The connection is being shut down.
- There is no CONN_ACK message to expect. I.e., there is currently
no outstanding message where the 'ack_required' bit was set. As a
consequence, the first message added after we enter nagle mode
is always sent directly with this bit set.
This new feature gives a 50-100% improvement of throughput for small
(i.e., less than MTU size) messages, while it might add up to one RTT
to latency time when the socket is in nagle mode.

Currently, TIPC transports intra-node user data messages directly
socket to socket, hence shortcutting all the lower layers of the
communication stack. This gives TIPC very good intra node performance,
both regarding throughput and latency.
We now introduce a similar mechanism for TIPC data traffic across
network namespaces located in the same kernel. On the send path, the
call chain is as always accompanied by the sending node's network name
space pointer. However, once we have reliably established that the
receiving node is represented by a namespace on the same host, we just
replace the namespace pointer with the receiving node/namespace's
ditto, and follow the regular socket receive patch though the receiving
node. This technique gives us a throughput similar to the node internal
throughput, several times larger than if we let the traffic go though
the full network stacks. As a comparison, max throughput for 64k
messages is four times larger than TCP throughput for the same type of
traffic.
To meet any security concerns, the following should be noted.
- All nodes joining a cluster are supposed to have been be certified
and authenticated by mechanisms outside TIPC. This is no different for
nodes/namespaces on the same host; they have to auto discover each
other using the attached interfaces, and establish links which are
supervised via the regular link monitoring mechanism. Hence, a kernel
local node has no other way to join a cluster than any other node, and
have to obey to policies set in the IP or device layers of the stack.
- Only when a sender has established with 100% certainty that the peer
node is located in a kernel local namespace does it choose to let user
data messages, and only those, take the crossover path to the receiving
node/namespace.
- If the receiving node/namespace is removed, its namespace pointer
is invalidated at all peer nodes, and their neighbor link monitoring
will eventually note that this node is gone.
- To ensure the "100% certainty" criteria, and prevent any possible
spoofing, received discovery messages must contain a proof that the
sender knows a common secret. We use the hash mix of the sending
node/namespace for this purpose, since it can be accessed directly by
all other namespaces in the kernel. Upon reception of a discovery
message, the receiver checks this proof against all the local
namespaces'hash_mix:es. If it finds a match, that, along with a
matching node id and cluster id, this is deemed sufficient proof that
the peer node in question is in a local namespace, and a wormhole can
be opened.
- We should also consider that TIPC is intended to be a cluster local
IPC mechanism (just like e.g. UNIX sockets) rather than a network
protocol, and hence we think it can justified to allow it to shortcut the
lower protocol layers.
Regarding traceability, we should notice that since commit 6c9081a391
("tipc: add loopback device tracking") it is possible to follow the node
internal packet flow by just activating tcpdump on the loopback
interface. This will be true even for this mechanism; by activating
tcpdump on the involved nodes' loopback interfaces their inter-name
space messaging can easily be tracked.
v2:
- update 'net' pointer when node left/rejoined
v3:
- grab read/write lock when using node ref obj
v4:
- clone traffics between netns to loopback

We have identified a problem with the "oversubscription" policy in the
link transmission code.
When small messages are transmitted, and the sending link has reached
the transmit window limit, those messages will be bundled and put into
the link backlog queue. However, bundles of data messages are counted
at the 'CRITICAL' level, so that the counter for that level, instead of
the counter for the real, bundled message's level is the one being
increased.
Subsequent, to-be-bundled data messages at non-CRITICAL levels continue
to be tested against the unchanged counter for their own level, while
contributing to an unrestrained increase at the CRITICAL backlog level.
This leaves a gap in congestion control algorithm for small messages
that can result in starvation for other users or a "real" CRITICAL
user. Even that eventually can lead to buffer exhaustion & link reset.
We fix this by keeping a 'target_bskb' buffer pointer at each levels,
then when bundling, we only bundle messages at the same importance
level only. This way, we know exactly how many slots a certain level
have occupied in the queue, so can manage level congestion accurately.
By bundling messages at the same level, we even have more benefits. Let
consider this:
- One socket sends 64-byte messages at the 'CRITICAL' level;
- Another sends 4096-byte messages at the 'LOW' level;
When a 64-byte message comes and is bundled the first time, we put the
overhead of message bundle to it (+ 40-byte header, data copy, etc.)
for later use, but the next message can be a 4096-byte one that cannot
be bundled to the previous one. This means the last bundle carries only
one payload message which is totally inefficient, as for the receiver
also! Later on, another 64-byte message comes, now we make a new bundle
and the same story repeats...
With the new bundling algorithm, this will not happen, the 64-byte
messages will be bundled together even when the 4096-byte message(s)
comes in between. However, if the 4096-byte messages are sent at the
same level i.e. 'CRITICAL', the bundling algorithm will again cause the
same overhead.
Also, the same will happen even with only one socket sending small
messages at a rate close to the link transmit's one, so that, when one
message is bundled, it's transmitted shortly. Then, another message

The policy for handling the skb list locks on the send and receive paths
is simple.
- On the send path we never need to grab the lock on the 'xmitq' list
when the destination is an exernal node.
- On the receive path we always need to grab the lock on the 'inputq'
list, irrespective of source node.
However, when transmitting node local messages those will eventually
end up on the receive path of a local socket, meaning that the argument
'xmitq' in tipc_node_xmit() will become the 'ínputq' argument in the
function tipc_sk_rcv(). This has been handled by always initializing
the spinlock of the 'xmitq' list at message creation, just in case it
may end up on the receive path later, and despite knowing that the lock
in most cases never will be used.
This approach is inaccurate and confusing, and has also concealed the
fact that the stated 'no lock grabbing' policy for the send path is
violated in some cases.
We now clean up this by never initializing the lock at message creation,
instead doing this at the moment we find that the message actually will
enter the receive path. At the same time we fix the four locations
where we incorrectly access the spinlock on the send/error path.
This patch also reverts commit d12cffe932 ("tipc: ensure head->lock
is initialised") which has now become redundant.

This commit eliminates the use of the link 'stale_limit' & 'prev_from'
(besides the already removed - 'stale_cnt') variables in the detection
of repeated retransmit failures as there is no proper way to initialize
them to avoid a false detection, i.e. it is not really a retransmission
failure but due to a garbage values in the variables.
Instead, a jiffies variable will be added to individual skbs (like the
way we restrict the skb retransmissions) in order to mark the first skb
retransmit time. Later on, at the next retransmissions, the timestamp
will be checked to see if the skb in the link transmq is "too stale",
that is, the link tolerance time has passed, so that a link reset will
be ordered. Note, just checking on the first skb in the queue is fine
enough since it must be the oldest one.
A counter is also added to keep track the actual skb retransmissions'
number for later checking when the failure happens.
The downside of this approach is that the skb->cb[] buffer is about to
be exhausted, however it is always able to allocate another memory area
and keep a reference to it when needed.

Since node internal messages are passed directly to the socket, it is not
possible to observe those messages via tcpdump or wireshark.
We now remedy this by making it possible to clone such messages and send
the clones to the loopback interface. The clones are dropped at reception
and have no functional role except making the traffic visible.
The feature is enabled if network taps are active for the loopback device.
pcap filtering restrictions require the messages to be presented to the
receiving side of the loopback device.

In commit 365ad353c2 ("tipc: reduce risk of user starvation during
link congestion") we allowed senders to add exactly one list of extra
buffers to the link backlog queues during link congestion (aka
"oversubscription"). However, the criteria for when to stop adding
wakeup messages to the input queue when the overload abates is
inaccurate, and may cause starvation problems during very high load.
Currently, we stop adding wakeup messages after 10 total failed attempts
where we find that there is no space left in the backlog queue for a
certain importance level. The counter for this is accumulated across all
levels, which may lead the algorithm to leave the loop prematurely,
although there may still be plenty of space available at some levels.
The result is sometimes that messages near the wakeup queue tail are not
added to the input queue as they should be.
We now introduce a more exact algorithm, where we keep adding wakeup
messages to a level as long as the backlog queue has free slots for
the corresponding level, and stop at the moment there are no more such
slots or when there are no more wakeup messages to dequeue.

Commit 2753ca5d90 ("tipc: fix uninit-value in tipc_nl_compat_doit")
broke older tipc tools that use compat interface (e.g. tipc-config from
tipcutils package):
% tipc-config -p
operation not supported
The commit started to reject TIPC netlink compat messages that do not
have attributes. It is too restrictive because some of such messages are
valid (they don't need any arguments):
% grep 'tx none' include/uapi/linux/tipc_config.h
#define TIPC_CMD_NOOP 0x0000 /* tx none, rx none */
#define TIPC_CMD_GET_MEDIA_NAMES 0x0002 /* tx none, rx media_name(s) */
#define TIPC_CMD_GET_BEARER_NAMES 0x0003 /* tx none, rx bearer_name(s) */
#define TIPC_CMD_SHOW_PORTS 0x0006 /* tx none, rx ultra_string */
#define TIPC_CMD_GET_REMOTE_MNG 0x4003 /* tx none, rx unsigned */

#define TIPC_CMD_GET_NETID 0x400B /* tx none, rx unsigned */
#define TIPC_CMD_NOT_NET_ADMIN 0xC001 /* tx none, rx none */
This patch relaxes the original fix and rejects messages without
arguments only if such arguments are expected by a command (reg_type is
non zero).

In conjunction with changing the interfaces' MTU (e.g. especially in
the case of a bonding) where the TIPC links are brought up and down
in a short time, a couple of issues were detected with the current link
changeover mechanism:
1) When one link is up but immediately forced down again, the failover
procedure will be carried out in order to failover all the messages in
the link's transmq queue onto the other working link. The link and node
state is also set to FAILINGOVER as part of the process. The message
will be transmited in form of a FAILOVER_MSG, so its size is plus of 40
bytes (= the message header size). There is no problem if the original
message size is not larger than the link's MTU - 40, and indeed this is
the max size of a normal payload messages. However, in the situation
above, because the link has just been up, the messages in the link's
transmq are almost SYNCH_MSGs which had been generated by the link
synching procedure, then their size might reach the max value already!
When the FAILOVER_MSG is built on the top of such a SYNCH_MSG, its size
will exceed the link's MTU. As a result, the messages are dropped
silently and the failover procedure will never end up, the link will
not be able to exit the FAILINGOVER state, so cannot be re-established.
2) The same scenario above can happen more easily in case the MTU of
the links is set differently or when changing. In that case, as long as
a large message in the failure link's transmq queue was built and
fragmented with its link's MTU > the other link's one, the issue will
happen (there is no need of a link synching in advance).
3) The link synching procedure also faces with the same issue but since
the link synching is only started upon receipt of a SYNCH_MSG, dropping
the message will not result in a state deadlock, but it is not expected
as design.
The 1) & 3) issues are resolved by the last commit that only a dummy
SYNCH_MSG (i.e. without data) is generated at the link synching, so the
size of a FAILOVER_MSG if any then will never exceed the link's MTU.
For the 2) issue, the only solution is trying to fragment the messages
in the failure link's transmq queue according to the working link's MTU
so they can be failovered then. A new function is made to accomplish
this, it will still be a TUNNEL PROTOCOL/FAILOVER MSG but if the
original message size is too large, it will be fragmented & reassembled
at the receiving side.

contain any data, just a header conveying the synch point to the peer.

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.
On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.
The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:
$ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l

Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them

The tipc_msg_validate() function leaves a boolean flag 'validated' in
the validated buffer's control block, to avoid performing this action
more than once. However, at reception of new packets, the position of
this field may already have been set by lower layer protocols, so
that the packet is erroneously perceived as already validated by TIPC.
We fix this by initializing the said field to 'false' before performing
the initial validation.

tipc_named_node_up() creates a skb list. It passes the list to
tipc_node_xmit() which has some code paths that can call
skb_queue_purge() which relies on the list->lock being initialised.
The spin_lock is only needed if the messages end up on the receive path
but when the list is created in tipc_named_node_up() we don't
necessarily know if it is going to end up there.
Once all the skb list users are updated in tipc it will then be possible
to update them to use the unlocked variants of the skb list functions
and initialise the lock when we know the message will follow the receive
path.
