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

Normally, the transmit phase of a client call is implicitly ack'd by the
reception of the first data packet of the response being received.
However, if a security negotiation happens, the transmit phase, if it is
entirely contained in a single packet, may get an ack packet in response
and then may get aborted due to security negotiation failure.
Because the client has shifted state to RXRPC_CALL_CLIENT_AWAIT_REPLY due
to having transmitted all the data, the code that handles processing of the
received ack packet doesn't note the hard ack the data packet.
The following abort packet in the case of security negotiation failure then
incurs an assertion failure when it tries to drain the Tx queue because the
hard ack state is out of sync (hard ack means the packets have been
processed and can be discarded by the sender; a soft ack means that the
packets are received but could still be discarded and rerequested by the
receiver).
To fix this, we should record the hard ack we received for the ack packet.
The assertion failure looks like:
RxRPC: Assertion failed
1 <= 0 is false
0x1 <= 0x0 is false

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Handle VERSION Rx protocol packets. We should respond to a VERSION packet
with a string indicating the Rx version. This is a maximum of 64 characters
and is padded out to 65 chars with NUL bytes.
Note that other AFS clients use the version request as a NAT keepalive so we
need to handle it rather than returning an abort.

When reading from the error queue, msg_name and msg_control are only
populated for some errors. A new exception for empty timestamp skbs
added a false positive on icmp errors without payload.
`traceroute -M udpconn` only displayed gateways that return payload
with the icmp error: the embedded network headers are pulled before
sock_queue_err_skb, leaving an skb with skb->len == 0 otherwise.
Fix this regression by refining when msg_name and msg_control
branches are taken. The solutions for the two fields are independent.
msg_name only makes sense for errors that configure serr->port and
serr->addr_offset. Test the first instead of skb->len. This also fixes
another issue. saddr could hold the wrong data, as serr->addr_offset
is not initialized in some code paths, pointing to the start of the
network header. It is only valid when serr->port is set (non-zero).
msg_control support differs between IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 only honors
requests for ICMP and timestamps with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_CMSG. The
skb->len test can simply be removed, because skb->dev is also tested
and never true for empty skbs. IPv6 honors requests for all errors
aside from local errors and timestamps on empty skbs.
In both cases, make the policy more explicit by moving this logic to
a new function that decides whether to process msg_control and that
optionally prepares the necessary fields in skb->cb[]. After this
change, the IPv4 and IPv6 paths are more similar.
The last case is rxrpc. Here, simply refine to only match timestamps.

Commit 3b885787ea ("net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg")
allowed receiving packet dropcount information as a socket level option.
RXRPC sockets recvmsg function was changed to support this by calling
sock_recv_ts_and_drops() instead of sock_recv_timestamp().
However, protocol families wishing to receive dropcount should call
sock_queue_rcv_skb() or set the dropcount specifically (as done
in packet_rcv()). This was not done for rxrpc and thus this feature
never worked on these sockets.

sk->sk_error_queue is dequeued in four locations. All share the
exact same logic. Deduplicate.
Also collapse the two critical sections for dequeue (at the top of
the recv handler) and signal (at the bottom).
This moves signal generation for the next packet forward, which should
be harmless.
It also changes the behavior if the recv handler exits early with an
error. Previously, a signal for follow-up packets on the errqueue
would then not be scheduled. The new behavior, to always signal, is
arguably a bug fix.
For rxrpc, the change causes the same function to be called repeatedly
for each queued packet (because the recv handler == sk_error_report).
It is likely that all packets will fail for the same reason (e.g.,
memory exhaustion).
This code runs without sk_lock held, so it is not safe to trust that
sk->sk_err is immutable inbetween releasing q->lock and the subsequent
test. Introduce int err just to avoid this potential race.

Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:
skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);
But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.
Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.
And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.
So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.

issue tree-wide.

Set the RxRPC header flag to request an ACK packet for every odd-numbered DATA
packet unless it's the last one (which implicitly requests an ACK anyway).
This is similar to how librx appears to work.
If we don't do this, we'll send out a full window of packets and then just sit
there until the other side gets bored and sends an ACK to indicate that it's
been idle for a while and has received no new packets.
Requesting a lot of ACKs shouldn't be a problem as ACKs should be merged when
possible.
As AF_RXRPC currently works, it will schedule an ACK to be generated upon
receipt of a DATA packet with the ACK-request packet set - and in the time
taken to schedule this in a work queue, several other packets are likely to
arrive and then all get ACK'd together.

Improve ACK production by the following means:
(1) Don't send an ACK_REQUESTED ack immediately even if the RXRPC_MORE_PACKETS
flag isn't set on a data packet that has also has RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK set.
MORE_PACKETS just means that the sender just emptied its Tx data buffer.
More data will be forthcoming unless RXRPC_LAST_PACKET is also flagged.
It is possible to see runs of DATA packets with MORE_PACKETS unset that
aren't waiting for an ACK.
It is therefore better to wait a small instant to see if we can combine an
ACK for several packets.
(2) Don't send an ACK_IDLE ack immediately unless we're responding to the
terminal data packet of a call.
Whilst sending an ACK_IDLE mid-call serves to let the other side know
that we won't be asking it to resend certain Tx buffers and that it can
discard them, spamming it with loads of acks just because we've
temporarily run out of data just distracts it.
(3) Put the ACK_IDLE ack generation timeout up to half a second rather than a
single jiffy. Just because we haven't been given more data immediately
doesn't mean that more isn't forthcoming. The other side may be busily
finding the data to send to us.

AF_RXRPC sends UDP packets with the "Don't Fragment" bit set in an attempt to
determine the maximum packet size between the local socket and the peer by
invoking the generation of ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED packets.
Once a packet is sent with the "Don't Fragment" bit set, it is then
inconvenient to break it up as that requires recalculating all the rxrpc serial
and sequence numbers and reencrypting all the fragments, so we switch off the
"Don't Fragment" service temporarily and send the bounced packet again. Future
packets then use the new MTU.
That's all fine. The problem lies in rxrpc_UDP_error_report() where the code
that deals with ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED packets lives. Packets of this type have a
field (ee_info) to indicate the maximum packet size at the reporting node - but
sometimes ee_info isn't filled in and is just left as 0 and the code must allow
for this.
When ee_info is 0, the code should take the MTU size we're currently using and
reduce it for the next packet we want to send. However, it takes ee_info
(which is known to be 0) and tries to reduce that instead.
This was discovered by Coverity.

When an ABORT is sent, aborting a connection, the sender quite reasonably
forgets about the connection. If another frame is received, another ABORT
will be sent. When the receiver gets it, it no longer applies to an extant
connection, so an ABORT is sent, and so on...
Prevent this by never sending a rejection for an ABORT packet.
