commit ae4b46e9d "net: rds: use this_cpu_* per-cpu helper" broke per-cpu
handling for rds. chpfirst is the result of __this_cpu_read(), so it is
an absolute pointer and not __percpu. Therefore, __this_cpu_write()
should not operate on chpfirst, but rather on cache-&gt;percpu-&gt;first, just
like __this_cpu_read() did before.

<title>rds: prevent BUG_ON triggered on congestion update to loopback</title>
<updated>2013-12-03T16:54:18+00:00</updated>

<published>2013-12-02T23:41:39+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.rulkc.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=18fc25c94eadc52a42c025125af24657a93638c0'/>
<id>urn:sha1:18fc25c94eadc52a42c025125af24657a93638c0</id>
<content type='text'>
After congestion update on a local connection, when rds_ib_xmit returns
less bytes than that are there in the message, rds_send_xmit calls
back rds_ib_xmit with an offset that causes BUG_ON(off &amp; RDS_FRAG_SIZE)
to trigger.

For a 4Kb PAGE_SIZE rds_ib_xmit returns min(8240,4096)=4096 when actually
the message contains 8240 bytes. rds_send_xmit thinks there is more to send
and calls rds_ib_xmit again with a data offset "off" of 4096-48(rds header)
=4048 bytes thus hitting the BUG_ON(off &amp; RDS_FRAG_SIZE) [RDS_FRAG_SIZE=4k].

The commit 6094628bfd94323fc1cea05ec2c6affd98c18f7f
"rds: prevent BUG_ON triggering on congestion map updates" introduced
this regression. That change was addressing the triggering of a different
BUG_ON in rds_send_xmit() on PowerPC architecture with 64Kbytes PAGE_SIZE:
 	BUG_ON(ret != 0 &amp;&amp;
    		 conn-&gt;c_xmit_sg == rm-&gt;data.op_nents);
This was the sequence it was going through:
(rds_ib_xmit)
/* Do not send cong updates to IB loopback */
if (conn-&gt;c_loopback
   &amp;&amp; rm-&gt;m_inc.i_hdr.h_flags &amp; RDS_FLAG_CONG_BITMAP) {
  	rds_cong_map_updated(conn-&gt;c_fcong, ~(u64) 0);
    	return sizeof(struct rds_header) + RDS_CONG_MAP_BYTES;
}
rds_ib_xmit returns 8240
rds_send_xmit:
  c_xmit_data_off = 0 + 8240 - 48 (rds header accounted only the first time)
   		 = 8192
  c_xmit_data_off &lt; 65536 (sg-&gt;length), so calls rds_ib_xmit again
rds_ib_xmit returns 8240
rds_send_xmit:
  c_xmit_data_off = 8192 + 8240 = 16432, calls rds_ib_xmit again
  and so on (c_xmit_data_off 24672,32912,41152,49392,57632)
rds_ib_xmit returns 8240
On this iteration this sequence causes the BUG_ON in rds_send_xmit:
    while (ret) {
    	tmp = min_t(int, ret, sg-&gt;length - conn-&gt;c_xmit_data_off);
    	[tmp = 65536 - 57632 = 7904]
    	conn-&gt;c_xmit_data_off += tmp;
    	[c_xmit_data_off = 57632 + 7904 = 65536]
    	ret -= tmp;
    	[ret = 8240 - 7904 = 336]
    	if (conn-&gt;c_xmit_data_off == sg-&gt;length) {
    		conn-&gt;c_xmit_data_off = 0;
    		sg++;
    		conn-&gt;c_xmit_sg++;
    		BUG_ON(ret != 0 &amp;&amp;
    			conn-&gt;c_xmit_sg == rm-&gt;data.op_nents);
    		[c_xmit_sg = 1, rm-&gt;data.op_nents = 1]

What the current fix does:
Since the congestion update over loopback is not actually transmitted
as a message, all that rds_ib_xmit needs to do is let the caller think
the full message has been transmitted and not return partial bytes.
It will return 8240 (RDS_CONG_MAP_BYTES+48) when PAGE_SIZE is 4Kb.
And 64Kb+48 when page size is 64Kb.

<title>net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch now always passes msg-&gt;msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must
set msg_namelen to the proper size &lt;= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to return msg_name to the user.

This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the
recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak
uninitialized memory.

Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't
need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the
recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must
cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets
msg_name to NULL.

Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David
Miller.

Changes since RFC:

Set msg-&gt;msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of
verify_iovec.

With this change in place I could remove "
if (!uaddr || msg_sys-&gt;msg_namelen == 0)
	msg-&gt;msg_name = NULL
".

This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore
msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL.

Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change
comments to netdev style.

Initialize the ehash and ipv6_hash_secrets with net_get_random_once.

Each compilation unit gets its own secret now:
  ipv4/inet_hashtables.o
  ipv4/udp.o
  ipv6/inet6_hashtables.o
  ipv6/udp.o
  rds/connection.o

The functions still get inlined into the hashing functions. In the fast
path we have at most two (needed in ipv6) if (unlikely(...)).

This duplicates a bit of code but let's us easily introduce
separate secret keys later. The separate compilation units are
ipv4/inet_hashtabbles.o, ipv4/udp.o and rds/connection.o.

<content type='text'>
There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.
