[ Upstream commit 2d7afdcbc9d32423f177ee12b7c93783aea338fb ]

Extending the tail can have some unexpected side effects if a program uses
a helper like BPF_FUNC_skb_pull_data to read partial content beyond the
head skb headlen when all the skbs in the gso frag_list are linear with no
head_frag -

Fix this by marking these skbs as GSO_DODGY so segmentation can handle
the tail updates accordingly.

[ Upstream commit 9e4b7a99a03aefd37ba7bb1f022c8efab5019165 ]

Since commit 3dcbdb134f32 ("net: gso: Fix skb_segment splat when
splitting gso_size mangled skb having linear-headed frag_list"), it is
allowed to change gso_size of a GRO packet. However, that commit assumes
that "checking the first list_skb member suffices; i.e if either of the
list_skb members have non head_frag head, then the first one has too".

It turns out this assumption does not hold. We've seen BUG_ON being hit
in skb_segment when skbs on the frag_list had differing head_frag with
the vmxnet3 driver. This happens because __netdev_alloc_skb and
__napi_alloc_skb can return a skb that is page backed or kmalloced
depending on the requested size. As the result, the last small skb in
the GRO packet can be kmalloced.

There are three different locations where this can be fixed:

(1) We could check head_frag in GRO and not allow GROing skbs with
    different head_frag. However, that would lead to performance
    regression on normal forward paths with unmodified gso_size, where
    !head_frag in the last packet is not a problem.

(2) Set a flag in bpf_skb_net_grow and bpf_skb_net_shrink indicating
    that NETIF_F_SG is undesirable. That would need to eat a bit in
    sk_buff. Furthermore, that flag can be unset when all skbs on the
    frag_list are page backed. To retain good performance,
    bpf_skb_net_grow/shrink would have to walk the frag_list.

(3) Walk the frag_list in skb_segment when determining whether
    NETIF_F_SG should be cleared. This of course slows things down.

This patch implements (3). To limit the performance impact in
skb_segment, the list is walked only for skbs with SKB_GSO_DODGY set
that have gso_size changed. Normal paths thus will not hit it.

We could check only the last skb but since we need to walk the whole
list anyway, let's stay on the safe side.

[ Upstream commit 228ebc41dfab5b5d34cd76835ddb0ca8ee12f513 ]

skb_append_pagefrags() is used by af_unix and udp sendpage()
implementation so far.

In commit 326140063946 ("tcp: TX zerocopy should not sense
pfmemalloc status") we explained why we should not sense
pfmemalloc status for pages owned by user space.

We should also use skb_fill_page_desc_noacc()
in skb_append_pagefrags() to avoid following KCSAN report:

<title>net: skb: export skb drop reaons to user by TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9cb252c4c1c53ae58bc565bab76e98133288f23a</id>
<content type='text'>
As Eric reported, the 'reason' field is not presented when trace the
kfree_skb event by perf:

$ perf record -e skb:kfree_skb -a sleep 10
$ perf script
  ip_defrag 14605 [021]   221.614303:   skb:kfree_skb:
  skbaddr=0xffff9d2851242700 protocol=34525 location=0xffffffffa39346b1
  reason:

The cause seems to be passing kernel address directly to TP_printk(),
which is not right. As the enum 'skb_drop_reason' is not exported to
user space through TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), perf can't get the drop reason
string from the 'reason' field, which is a number.

Therefore, we introduce the macro DEFINE_DROP_REASON(), which is used
to define the trace enum by TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(). With the help of
DEFINE_DROP_REASON(), now we can remove the auto-generate that we
introduced in the commit ec43908dd556
("net: skb: use auto-generation to convert skb drop reason to string"),
and define the string array 'drop_reasons'.

Hmmmm...now we come back to the situation that have to maintain drop
reasons in both enum skb_drop_reason and DEFINE_DROP_REASON. But they
are both in dropreason.h, which makes it easier.

After this commit, now the format of kfree_skb is like this:

$ cat /tracing/events/skb/kfree_skb/format
name: kfree_skb
ID: 1524
format:
        field:unsigned short common_type;       offset:0;       size:2; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_flags;       offset:2;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;       offset:3;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:int common_pid;   offset:4;       size:4; signed:1;

        field:void * skbaddr;   offset:8;       size:8; signed:0;
        field:void * location;  offset:16;      size:8; signed:0;
        field:unsigned short protocol;  offset:24;      size:2; signed:0;
        field:enum skb_drop_reason reason;      offset:28;      size:4; signed:0;

print fmt: "skbaddr=%p protocol=%u location=%p reason: %s", REC-&gt;skbaddr, REC-&gt;protocol, REC-&gt;location, __print_symbolic(REC-&gt;reason, { 1, "NOT_SPECIFIED" }, { 2, "NO_SOCKET" } ......

Pavel Begunkov says:

====================
io_uring zerocopy send

The patchset implements io_uring zerocopy send. It works with both registered
and normal buffers, mixing is allowed but not recommended. Apart from usual
request completions, just as with MSG_ZEROCOPY, io_uring separately notifies
the userspace when buffers are freed and can be reused (see API design below),
which is delivered into io_uring's Completion Queue. Those "buffer-free"
notifications are not necessarily per request, but the userspace has control
over it and should explicitly attaching a number of requests to a single
notification. The series also adds some internal optimisations when used with
registered buffers like removing page referencing.

From the kernel networking perspective there are two main changes. The first
one is passing ubuf_info into the network layer from io_uring (inside of an
in kernel struct msghdr). This allows extra optimisations, e.g. ubuf_info
caching on the io_uring side, but also helps to avoid cross-referencing
and synchronisation problems. The second part is an optional optimisation
removing page referencing for requests with registered buffers.

Benchmarking UDP with an optimised version of the selftest (see [1]), which
sends a bunch of requests, waits for completions and repeats. "+ flush" column
posts one additional "buffer-free" notification per request, and just "zc"
doesn't post buffer notifications at all.

NIC (requests / second):
IO size | non-zc    | zc             | zc + flush
4000    | 495134    | 606420 (+22%)  | 558971 (+12%)
1500    | 551808    | 577116 (+4.5%) | 565803 (+2.5%)
1000    | 584677    | 592088 (+1.2%) | 560885 (-4%)
600     | 596292    | 598550 (+0.4%) | 555366 (-6.7%)

dummy (requests / second):
IO size | non-zc    | zc             | zc + flush
8000    | 1299916   | 2396600 (+84%) | 2224219 (+71%)
4000    | 1869230   | 2344146 (+25%) | 2170069 (+16%)
1200    | 2071617   | 2361960 (+14%) | 2203052 (+6%)
600     | 2106794   | 2381527 (+13%) | 2195295 (+4%)

Previously it also brought a massive performance speedup compared to the
msg_zerocopy tool (see [3]), which is probably not super interesting. There
is also an additional bunch of refcounting optimisations that was omitted from
the series for simplicity and as they don't change the picture drastically,
they will be sent as follow up, as well as flushing optimisations closing the
performance gap b/w two last columns.

For TCP on localhost (with hacks enabling localhost zerocopy) and including
additional overhead for receive:

IO size | non-zc    | zc
1200    | 4174      | 4148
4096    | 7597      | 11228

Using a real NIC 1200 bytes, zc is worse than non-zc ~5-10%, maybe the
omitted optimisations will somewhat help, should look better for 4000,
but couldn't test properly because of setup problems.

API design overview:

  The series introduces an io_uring concept of notifactors. From the userspace
  perspective it's an entity to which it can bind one or more requests and then
  requesting to flush it. Flushing a notifier makes it impossible to attach new
  requests to it, and instructs the notifier to post a completion once all
  requests attached to it are completed and the kernel doesn't need the buffers
  anymore.

  Notifications are stored in notification slots, which should be registered as
  an array in io_uring. Each slot stores only one notifier at any particular
  moment. Flushing removes it from the slot and the slot automatically replaces
  it with a new notifier. All operations with notifiers are done by specifying
  an index of a slot it's currently in.

  When registering a notification the userspace specifies a u64 tag for each
  slot, which will be copied in notification completion entries as
  cqe::user_data. cqe::res is 0 and cqe::flags is equal to wrap around u32
  sequence number counting notifiers of a slot.

Some users like io_uring can do page pinning more efficiently, so we
want a way to delegate referencing to other subsystems. For that add
a new flag called SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS. When set, skb doesn't hold
page references and upper layers are responsivle to managing page
lifetime.

It's allowed to convert skbs from managed to normal by calling
skb_zcopy_downgrade_managed(). The function will take all needed
page references and clear the flag. It's needed, for instance,
to avoid mixing managed modes.

Add support for custom iov_iter handling to msghdr. The idea is that
in-kernel subsystems want control over how an SG is split.

We don't want to list every single ubuf_info callback in
skb_orphan_frags(), add a flag controlling the behaviour.
