net: tls: Cancel RX async resync request on rcd_delta overflow

2025-12-06T21:12:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit c15d5c62ab313c19121f10e25d4fec852bd1c40c ] When a netdev issues a RX async resync request for a TLS connection, the TLS module handles it by logging record headers and attempting to match them to the tcp_sn provided by the device. If a match is found, the TLS module approves the tcp_sn for resynchronization. While waiting for a device response, the TLS module also increments rcd_delta each time a new TLS record is received, tracking the distance from the original resync request. However, if the device response is delayed or fails (e.g due to unstable connection and device getting out of tracking, hardware errors, resource exhaustion etc.), the TLS module keeps logging and incrementing, which can lead to a WARN() when rcd_delta exceeds the threshold. To address this, introduce tls_offload_rx_resync_async_request_cancel() to explicitly cancel resync requests when a device response failure is detected. Call this helper also as a final safeguard when rcd_delta crosses its threshold, as reaching this point implies that earlier cancellation did not occur.

tls: fix race between async notify and socket close

2024-02-23T08:12:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit aec7961916f3f9e88766e2688992da6980f11b8d ] The submitting thread (one which called recvmsg/sendmsg) may exit as soon as the async crypto handler calls complete() so any code past that point risks touching already freed data. Try to avoid the locking and extra flags altogether. Have the main thread hold an extra reference, this way we can depend solely on the atomic ref counter for synchronization. Don't futz with reiniting the completion, either, we are now tightly controlling when completion fires.

tls: rx: strp: preserve decryption status of skbs when needed

2023-06-05T07:26:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit eca9bfafee3a0487e59c59201ae14c7594ba940a ] When receive buffer is small we try to copy out the data from TCP into a skb maintained by TLS to prevent connection from stalling. Unfortunately if a single record is made up of a mix of decrypted and non-decrypted skbs combining them into a single skb leads to loss of decryption status, resulting in decryption errors or data corruption. Similarly when trying to use TCP receive queue directly we need to make sure that all the skbs within the record have the same status. If we don't the mixed status will be detected correctly but we'll CoW the anchor, again collapsing it into a single paged skb without decrypted status preserved. So the "fixup" code will not know which parts of skb to re-encrypt.

net/tls: Use RCU API to access tls_ctx->netdev

2022-08-11T05:58:43+00:00

Currently, tls_device_down synchronizes with tls_device_resync_rx using RCU, however, the pointer to netdev is stored using WRITE_ONCE and loaded using READ_ONCE. Although such approach is technically correct (rcu_dereference is essentially a READ_ONCE, and rcu_assign_pointer uses WRITE_ONCE to store NULL), using special RCU helpers for pointers is more valid, as it includes additional checks and might change the implementation transparently to the callers. Mark the netdev pointer as __rcu and use the correct RCU helpers to access it. For non-concurrent access pass the right conditions that guarantee safe access (locks taken, refcount value). Also use the correct helper in mlx5e, where even READ_ONCE was missing. The transition to RCU exposes existing issues, fixed by this commit: 1. bond_tls_device_xmit could read netdev twice, and it could become NULL the second time, after the NULL check passed. 2. Drivers shouldn't stop processing the last packet if tls_device_down just set netdev to NULL, before tls_dev_del was called. This prevents a possible packet drop when transitioning to the fallback software mode.

net/tls: Multi-threaded calls to TX tls_dev_del

2022-07-29T04:50:54+00:00

Multiple TLS device-offloaded contexts can be added in parallel via concurrent calls to .tls_dev_add, while calls to .tls_dev_del are sequential in tls_device_gc_task. This is not a sustainable behavior. This creates a rate gap between add and del operations (addition rate outperforms the deletion rate). When running for enough time, the TLS device resources could get exhausted, failing to offload new connections. Replace the single-threaded garbage collector work with a per-context alternative, so they can be handled on several cores in parallel. Use a new dedicated destruct workqueue for this.

tls: rx: do not use the standard strparser

2022-07-26T21:38:51+00:00

TLS is a relatively poor fit for strparser. We pause the input every time a message is received, wait for a read which will decrypt the message, start the parser, repeat. strparser is built to delineate the messages, wrap them in individual skbs and let them float off into the stack or a different socket. TLS wants the data pages and nothing else. There's no need for TLS to keep cloning (and occasionally skb_unclone()'ing) the TCP rx queue. This patch uses a pre-allocated skb and attaches the skbs from the TCP rx queue to it as frags. TLS is careful never to modify the input skb without CoW'ing / detaching it first. Since we call TCP rx queue cleanup directly we also get back the benefit of skb deferred free. Overall this results in a 6% gain in my benchmarks. Acked-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

tls: rx: allow only one reader at a time

2022-07-18T10:24:10+00:00

recvmsg() in TLS gets data from the skb list (rx_list) or fresh skbs we read from TCP via strparser. The former holds skbs which were already decrypted for peek or decrypted and partially consumed. tls_wait_data() only notices appearance of fresh skbs coming out of TCP (or psock). It is possible, if there is a concurrent call to peek() and recv() that the peek() will move the data from input to rx_list without recv() noticing. recv() will then read data out of order or never wake up. This is not a practical use case/concern, but it makes the self tests less reliable. This patch solves the problem by allowing only one reader in. Because having multiple processes calling read()/peek() is not normal avoid adding a lock and try to fast-path the single reader case. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
