kmemcheck: remove annotations

2018-02-22T14:42:23+00:00

commit 4950276672fce5c241857540f8561c440663673d upstream. Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2. As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck. KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of kmemcheck (single CPU, slow). KASan is already upstream. We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't consider KASan as a suitable replacement). The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2 years, and try again. Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons. This patch (of 4): Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.

proto_ops: Add locked held versions of sendmsg and sendpage

2017-08-01T22:26:18+00:00

Add new proto_ops sendmsg_locked and sendpage_locked that can be called when the socket lock is already held. Correspondingly, add kernel_sendmsg_locked and kernel_sendpage_locked as front end functions. These functions will be used in zero proxy so that we can take the socket lock in a ULP sendmsg/sendpage and then directly call the backend transport proto_ops functions.

random: add get_random_{bytes,u32,u64,int,long,once}_wait family

2017-06-20T02:06:28+00:00

These functions are simple convenience wrappers that call wait_for_random_bytes before calling the respective get_random_* function. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

l2tp: device MTU setup, tunnel socket needs a lock

2017-04-17T17:01:48+00:00

The MTU overhead calculation in L2TP device set-up merged via commit b784e7ebfce8cfb16c6f95e14e8532d0768ab7ff needs to be adjusted to lock the tunnel socket while referencing the sub-data structures to derive the socket's IP overhead.

New kernel function to get IP overhead on a socket.

2017-04-06T20:43:31+00:00

A new function, kernel_sock_ip_overhead(), is provided to calculate the cumulative overhead imposed by the IP Header and IP options, if any, on a socket's payload. The new function returns an overhead of zero for sockets that do not belong to the IPv4 or IPv6 address families. This is used in the L2TP code path to compute the total outer IP overhead on the L2TP tunnel socket when calculating the default MTU for Ethernet pseudowires. Signed-off-by: R.

net: Work around lockdep limitation in sockets that use sockets

2017-03-10T02:23:27+00:00

Lockdep issues a circular dependency warning when AFS issues an operation through AF_RXRPC from a context in which the VFS/VM holds the mmap_sem. The theory lockdep comes up with is as follows: (1) If the pagefault handler decides it needs to read pages from AFS, it calls AFS with mmap_sem held and AFS begins an AF_RXRPC call, but creating a call requires the socket lock: mmap_sem must be taken before sk_lock-AF_RXRPC (2) afs_open_socket() opens an AF_RXRPC socket and binds it. rxrpc_bind() binds the underlying UDP socket whilst holding its socket lock. inet_bind() takes its own socket lock: sk_lock-AF_RXRPC must be taken before sk_lock-AF_INET (3) Reading from a TCP socket into a userspace buffer might cause a fault and thus cause the kernel to take the mmap_sem, but the TCP socket is locked whilst doing this: sk_lock-AF_INET must be taken before mmap_sem However, lockdep's theory is wrong in this instance because it deals only with lock classes and not individual locks. The AF_INET lock in (2) isn't really equivalent to the AF_INET lock in (3) as the former deals with a socket entirely internal to the kernel that never sees userspace. This is a limitation in the design of lockdep. Fix the general case by: (1) Double up all the locking keys used in sockets so that one set are used if the socket is created by userspace and the other set is used if the socket is created by the kernel. (2) Store the kern parameter passed to sk_alloc() in a variable in the sock struct (sk_kern_sock). This informs sock_lock_init(), sock_init_data() and sk_clone_lock() as to the lock keys to be used. Note that the child created by sk_clone_lock() inherits the parent's kern setting. (3) Add a 'kern' parameter to ->accept() that is analogous to the one passed in to ->create() that distinguishes whether kernel_accept() or sys_accept4() was the caller and can be passed to sk_alloc(). Note that a lot of accept functions merely dequeue an already allocated socket. I haven't touched these as the new socket already exists before we get the parameter. Note also that there are a couple of places where I've made the accepted socket unconditionally kernel-based: irda_accept() rds_rcp_accept_one() tcp_accept_from_sock() because they follow a sock_create_kern() and accept off of that. Whilst creating this, I noticed that lustre and ocfs don't create sockets through sock_create_kern() and thus they aren't marked as for-kernel, though they appear to be internal. I wonder if these should do that so that they use the new set of lock keys. Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tun: switch to use skb array for tx

2016-07-01T09:32:17+00:00

We used to queue tx packets in sk_receive_queue, this is less efficient since it requires spinlocks to synchronize between producer and consumer. This patch tries to address this by: - switch from sk_receive_queue to a skb_array, and resize it when tx_queue_len was changed. - introduce a new proto_ops peek_len which was used for peeking the skb length. - implement a tun version of peek_len for vhost_net to use and convert vhost_net to use peek_len if possible. Pktgen test shows about 15.3% improvement on guest receiving pps for small buffers: Before: ~1300000pps After : ~1500000pps Signed-off-by: Jason Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
