[ Upstream commit 89ed5b519004a7706f50b70f611edbd3aaacff2c ]

When an application is run that:
a) Sets its scheduler to be SCHED_FIFO
and
b) Opens a memory mapped AF_PACKET socket, and sends frames with the
MSG_DONTWAIT flag cleared, its possible for the application to hang
forever in the kernel.  This occurs because when waiting, the code in
tpacket_snd calls schedule, which under normal circumstances allows
other tasks to run, including ksoftirqd, which in some cases is
responsible for freeing the transmitted skb (which in AF_PACKET calls a
destructor that flips the status bit of the transmitted frame back to
available, allowing the transmitting task to complete).

However, when the calling application is SCHED_FIFO, its priority is
such that the schedule call immediately places the task back on the cpu,
preventing ksoftirqd from freeing the skb, which in turn prevents the
transmitting task from detecting that the transmission is complete.

We can fix this by converting the schedule call to a completion
mechanism.  By using a completion queue, we force the calling task, when
it detects there are no more frames to send, to schedule itself off the
cpu until such time as the last transmitted skb is freed, allowing
forward progress to be made.

Tested by myself and the reporter, with good results

Change Notes:

V1-&gt;V2:
	Enhance the sleep logic to support being interruptible and
allowing for honoring to SK_SNDTIMEO (Willem de Bruijn)

V2-&gt;V3:
	Rearrage the point at which we wait for the completion queue, to
avoid needing to check for ph/skb being null at the end of the loop.
Also move the complete call to the skb destructor to avoid needing to
modify __packet_set_status.  Also gate calling complete on
packet_read_pending returning zero to avoid multiple calls to complete.
(Willem de Bruijn)

	Move timeo computation within loop, to re-fetch the socket
timeout since we also use the timeo variable to record the return code
from the wait_for_complete call (Neil Horman)

V3-&gt;V4:
	Willem has requested that the control flow be restored to the
previous state.  Doing so lets us eliminate the need for the
po-&gt;wait_on_complete flag variable, and lets us get rid of the
packet_next_frame function, but introduces another complexity.
Specifically, but using the packet pending count, we can, if an
applications calls sendmsg multiple times with MSG_DONTWAIT set, each
set of transmitted frames, when complete, will cause
tpacket_destruct_skb to issue a complete call, for which there will
never be a wait_on_completion call.  This imbalance will lead to any
future call to wait_for_completion here to return early, when the frames
they sent may not have completed.  To correct this, we need to re-init
the completion queue on every call to tpacket_snd before we enter the
loop so as to ensure we wait properly for the frames we send in this
iteration.

	Change the timeout and interrupted gotos to out_put rather than
out_status so that we don't try to free a non-existant skb
	Clean up some extra newlines (Willem de Bruijn)

[ Upstream commit a6361f0ca4b25460f2cdf3235ebe8115f622901e ]

Updates to the bitfields in struct packet_sock are not atomic.
Serialize these read-modify-write cycles.

Move po-&gt;running into a separate variable. Its writes are protected by
po-&gt;bind_lock (except for one startup case at packet_create). Also
replace a textual precondition warning with lockdep annotation.

All others are set only in packet_setsockopt. Serialize these
updates by holding the socket lock. Analogous to other field updates,
also hold the lock when testing whether a ring is active (pg_vec).

<content type='text'>
syzkaller found a race condition fanout_demux_rollover() while removing
a packet socket from a fanout group.

po-&gt;rollover is read and operated on during packet_rcv_fanout(), via
fanout_demux_rollover(), but the pointer is currently cleared before the
synchronization in packet_release().   It is safer to delay the cleanup
until after synchronize_net() has been called, ensuring all calls to
packet_rcv_fanout() for this socket have finished.

To further simplify synchronization around the rollover structure, set
po-&gt;rollover in fanout_add() only if there are no errors.  This removes
the need for rcu in the struct and in the call to
packet_getsockopt(..., PACKET_ROLLOVER_STATS, ...).

Add fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_CBPF that accepts a classic BPF program
to select a socket.

This avoids having to keep adding special case fanout modes. One
example use case is application layer load balancing. The QUIC
protocol, for instance, encodes a connection ID in UDP payload.

Also add socket option SOL_PACKET/PACKET_FANOUT_DATA that updates data
associated with the socket group. Fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_CBPF is the
only user so far.

Rollover indicates exceptional conditions. Export a counter to inform
socket owners of this state.

If no socket with sufficient room is found, rollover fails. Also count
these events.

Finally, also count when flows are rolled over early thanks to huge
flow detection, to validate its correctness.

Tested:
  Read counters in bench_rollover on all other tests in the patchset

<title>packet: rollover huge flows before small flows</title>

<content type='text'>
Migrate flows from a socket to another socket in the fanout group not
only when the socket is full. Start migrating huge flows early, to
divert possible 4-tuple attacks without affecting normal traffic.

Introduce fanout_flow_is_huge(). This detects huge flows, which are
defined as taking up more than half the load. It does so cheaply, by
storing the rxhashes of the N most recent packets. If over half of
these are the same rxhash as the current packet, then drop it. This
only protects against 4-tuple attacks. N is chosen to fit all data in
a single cache line.

Tested:
  Ran bench_rollover for 10 sec with 1.5 Mpps of single flow input.

<id>urn:sha1:2ccdbaa6d55b0656244ba57c4b56765a0af76c0a</id>
<content type='text'>
Rollover has to call packet_rcv_has_room on sockets in the fanout
group to find a socket to migrate to. This operation is expensive
especially if the packet sockets use rings, when a lock has to be
acquired.

Avoid pounding on the lock by all sockets by temporarily marking a
socket as "under memory pressure" when such pressure is detected.
While set, only the socket owner may call packet_rcv_has_room on the
socket. Once it detects normal conditions, it clears the flag. The
socket is not used as a victim by any other socket in the meantime.

Under reasonably balanced load, each socket writer frequently calls
packet_rcv_has_room and clears its own pressure field. As a backup
for when the socket is rarely written to, also clear the flag on
reading (packet_recvmsg, packet_poll) if this can be done cheaply
(i.e., without calling packet_rcv_has_room). This is only for
edge cases.

Tested:
  Ran bench_rollover: a process with 8 sockets in a single fanout
  group, each pinned to a single cpu that receives one nic recv
  interrupt. RPS and RFS are disabled. The benchmark uses packet
  rx_ring, which has to take a lock when determining whether a
  socket has room.

  Sent 3.5 Mpps of UDP traffic with sufficient entropy to spread
  uniformly across the packet sockets (and inserted an iptables
  rule to drop in PREROUTING to avoid protocol stack processing).

  Without this patch, all sockets try to migrate traffic to
  neighbors, causing lock contention when searching for a non-
  empty neighbor. The lock is the top 9 entries.

  On net-next with this patch, this lock contention is no longer a
  top entry. Most time is spent in the actual read function. Next up
  are other locks:

  in tpacket_rcv.

Having to say
&gt; #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
&gt; 	struct net *net;
&gt; #endif

in structures is a little bit wordy and a little bit error prone.

Instead it is possible to say:
&gt; typedef struct {
&gt; #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
&gt;       struct net *net;
&gt; #endif
&gt; } possible_net_t;

And then in a header say:

&gt; 	possible_net_t net;

Which is cleaner and easier to use and easier to test, as the
possible_net_t is always there no matter what the compile options.

Further this allows read_pnet and write_pnet to be functions in all
cases which is better at catching typos.

This change adds possible_net_t, updates the definitions of read_pnet
and write_pnet, updates optional struct net * variables that
write_pnet uses on to have the type possible_net_t, and finally fixes
up the b0rked users of read_pnet and write_pnet.
