commit 649c15c7691e9b13cbe9bf6c65c365350e056067 upstream.

When sock_alloc_file fails to allocate a file, it will call sock_release.
__sys_socket_file should then not call sock_release again, otherwise there
will be a double free.

commit 2558b8039d059342197610498c8749ad294adee5 upstream.

syzbot found arm64 builds would crash in sock_recv_mark()
when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y

x86 and powerpc are not detecting the issue because
they define user_access_begin.
This will be handled in a different patch,
because a check_object_size() is missing.

Only data from skb-&gt;cb[] can be copied directly to/from user space,
as explained in commit 79a8a642bf05 ("net: Whitelist
the skbuff_head_cache "cb" field")

syzbot report was:
usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object 'skbuff_head_cache' (offset 168, size 4)!

[ Upstream commit de4eda9de2d957ef2d6a8365a01e26a435e958cb ]

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.

Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...

Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.

Pull networking changes from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Refactor the forward memory allocation to better cope with memory
     pressure with many open sockets, moving from a per socket cache to
     a per-CPU one

   - Replace rwlocks with RCU for better fairness in ping, raw sockets
     and IP multicast router.

   - Network-side support for IO uring zero-copy send.

   - A few skb drop reason improvements, including codegen the source
     file with string mapping instead of using macro magic.

   - Rename reference tracking helpers to a more consistent netdev_*
     schema.

   - Adapt u64_stats_t type to address load/store tearing issues.

   - Refine debug helper usage to reduce the log noise caused by bots.

  BPF:

   - Improve socket map performance, avoiding skb cloning on read
     operation.

   - Add support for 64 bits enum, to match types exposed by kernel.

   - Introduce support for sleepable uprobes program.

   - Introduce support for enum textual representation in libbpf.

   - New helpers to implement synproxy with eBPF/XDP.

   - Improve loop performances, inlining indirect calls when possible.

   - Removed all the deprecated libbpf APIs.

   - Implement new eBPF-based LSM flavor.

   - Add type match support, which allow accurate queries to the eBPF
     used types.

   - A few TCP congetsion control framework usability improvements.

   - Add new infrastructure to manipulate CT entries via eBPF programs.

   - Allow for livepatch (KLP) and BPF trampolines to attach to the same
     kernel function.

  Protocols:

   - Introduce per network namespace lookup tables for unix sockets,
     increasing scalability and reducing contention.

   - Preparation work for Wi-Fi 7 Multi-Link Operation (MLO) support.

   - Add support to forciby close TIME_WAIT TCP sockets via user-space
     tools.

   - Significant performance improvement for the TLS 1.3 receive path,
     both for zero-copy and not-zero-copy.

   - Support for changing the initial MTPCP subflow priority/backup
     status

   - Introduce virtually contingus buffers for sockets over RDMA, to
     cope better with memory pressure.

   - Extend CAN ethtool support with timestamping capabilities

   - Refactor CAN build infrastructure to allow building only the needed
     features.

  Driver API:

   - Remove devlink mutex to allow parallel commands on multiple links.

   - Add support for pause stats in distributed switch.

   - Implement devlink helpers to query and flash line cards.

   - New helper for phy mode to register conversion.

  New hardware / drivers:

   - Ethernet DSA driver for the rockchip mt7531 on BPI-R2 Pro.

   - Ethernet DSA driver for the Renesas RZ/N1 A5PSW switch.

this is in preparation for multishot receive from io_uring, where it needs
to have access to the original struct user_msghdr.

functionally this should be a no-op.

====================
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.
