<id>urn:sha1:c64534f82608a8f9d58d7c74d4a12122bdb2c3fe</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 681648e67d43cf269c5590ecf021ed481f4551fc upstream.

Commit 8edc3affc077 ("rds: tcp: Take explicit refcounts on struct net")
introduces a regression in rds-tcp netns cleanup. The cleanup_net(),
(and thus rds_tcp_dev_event notification) is only called from put_net()
when all netns refcounts go to 0, but this cannot happen if the
rds_connection itself is holding a c_net ref that it expects to
release in rds_tcp_kill_sock.

Instead, the rds_tcp_kill_sock callback should make sure to
tear down state carefully, ensuring that the socket teardown
is only done after all data-structures and workqs that depend
on it are quiesced.

The original motivation for commit 8edc3affc077 ("rds: tcp: Take explicit
refcounts on struct net") was to resolve a race condition reported by
syzkaller where workqs for tx/rx/connect were triggered after the
namespace was deleted. Those worker threads should have been
cancelled/flushed before socket tear-down and indeed,
rds_conn_path_destroy() does try to sequence this by doing
     /* cancel cp_send_w */
     /* cancel cp_recv_w */
     /* flush cp_down_w */
     /* free data structures */
Here the "flush cp_down_w" will trigger rds_conn_shutdown and thus
invoke rds_tcp_conn_path_shutdown() to close the tcp socket, so that
we ought to have satisfied the requirement that "socket-close is
done after all other dependent state is quiesced". However,
rds_conn_shutdown has a bug in that it *always* triggers the reconnect
workq (and if connection is successful, we always restart tx/rx
workqs so with the right timing, we risk the race conditions reported
by syzkaller).

Netns deletion is like module teardown- no need to restart a
reconnect in this case. We can use the c_destroy_in_prog bit
to avoid restarting the reconnect.

RDS over IB does not use multipath RDS, so the array
of additional rds_conn_path structures is always superfluous
in this case. Reduce the memory footprint of the rds module
by making this a dynamic allocation predicated on whether
the transport is mp_capable.

We could end up executing rds_conn_shutdown before the rds_recv_worker
thread, then rds_conn_shutdown -&gt; rds_tcp_conn_shutdown can do a
sock_release and set sock-&gt;sk to null, which may interleave in bad
ways with rds_recv_worker, e.g., it could result in:

"BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000078"
    [ffff881769f6fd70] release_sock at ffffffff815f337b
    [ffff881769f6fd90] rds_tcp_recv at ffffffffa043c888 [rds_tcp]

    [ffff881769f6fec0] kthread at ffffffff810a6b1e

Also, do not enqueue any new shutdown workq items when the connection is
shutting down (this may happen for rds-tcp in softirq mode, if a FIN
or CLOSE is received while the modules is in the middle of an unload)

If we are unloading the rds_tcp module, we can set linger to 1
and drop pending packets to accelerate reconnect. The peer will
end up resetting the connection based on new generation numbers
of the new incarnation, so hanging on to unsent TCP packets via
linger is mostly pointless in this case.

the logic associated with cp_outgoing, so clean up usage of this
field.

<title>rds: tcp: allow progress of rds_conn_shutdown if the rds_connection is marked ERROR by an intervening FIN</title>

rds_conn_shutdown() runs in workq context, and marks the rds_connection
as DISCONNECTING before quiescing Tx/Rx paths. However, after all I/O
has quiesced, we may still find the rds_connection state to be
RDS_CONN_ERROR if an intervening FIN was processed in softirq context.

This is not a fatal error: rds_conn_shutdown() should continue the
shutdown, and there is no need to log noisy messages about this event.

It is incorrect for the rds_connection to piggyback on the
sock_net() refcount for the netns because this gives rise to
a chicken-and-egg problem during rds_conn_destroy. Instead explicitly
take a ref on the net, and hold the netns down till the connection
tear-down is complete.

<id>urn:sha1:1a0e100fb2c9667cea2a7d755faaa83569942f05</id>
<content type='text'>
When 2 RDS peers initiate an RDS-TCP connection simultaneously,
there is a potential for "duelling syns" on either/both sides.
See commit 241b271952eb ("RDS-TCP: Reset tcp callbacks if re-using an
outgoing socket in rds_tcp_accept_one()") for a description of this
condition, and the arbitration logic which ensures that the
numerically large IP address in the TCP connection is bound to the
RDS_TCP_PORT ("canonical ordering").

The rds_connection should not be marked as RDS_CONN_UP until the
arbitration logic has converged for the following reason. The sender
may start transmitting RDS datagrams as soon as RDS_CONN_UP is set,
and since the sender removes all datagrams from the rds_connection's
cp_retrans queue based on TCP acks. If the TCP ack was sent from
a tcp socket that got reset as part of duel aribitration (but
before data was delivered to the receivers RDS socket layer),
the sender may end up prematurely freeing the datagram, and
the datagram is no longer reliably deliverable.

This patch remedies that condition by making sure that, upon
receipt of 3WH completion state change notification of TCP_ESTABLISHED
in rds_tcp_state_change, we mark the rds_connection as RDS_CONN_UP
if, and only if, the IP addresses and ports for the connection are
canonically ordered. In all other cases, rds_tcp_state_change will
force an rds_conn_path_drop(), and rds_queue_reconnect() on
both peers will restart the connection to ensure canonical ordering.

A side-effect of enforcing this condition in rds_tcp_state_change()
is that rds_tcp_accept_one_path() can now be refactored for simplicity.
It is also no longer possible to encounter an RDS_CONN_UP connection in
the arbitration logic in rds_tcp_accept_one().

<title>RDS: TCP: Track peer's connection generation number</title>

<id>urn:sha1:905dd4184e0732de41d6ee3c7b06e0cfdd9f0aad</id>
<content type='text'>
The RDS transport has to be able to distinguish between
two types of failure events:
(a) when the transport fails (e.g., TCP connection reset)
    but the RDS socket/connection layer on both sides stays
    the same
(b) when the peer's RDS layer itself resets (e.g., due to module
    reload or machine reboot at the peer)
In case (a) both sides must reconnect and continue the RDS messaging
without any message loss or disruption to the message sequence numbers,
and this is achieved by rds_send_path_reset().

In case (b) we should reset all rds_connection state to the
new incarnation of the peer. Examples of state that needs to
be reset are next expected rx sequence number from, or messages to be
retransmitted to, the new incarnation of the peer.

To achieve this, the RDS handshake probe added as part of
commit 5916e2c1554f ("RDS: TCP: Enable multipath RDS for TCP")
is enhanced so that sender and receiver of the RDS ping-probe
will add a generation number as part of the RDS_EXTHDR_GEN_NUM
extension header. Each peer stores local and remote generation
numbers as part of each rds_connection. Changes in generation
number will be detected via incoming handshake probe ping
request or response and will allow the receiver to reset rds_connection
state.
