      mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
      
      __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
      spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
      have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
      to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
      lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
      
      Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
      were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
      an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
      reserves.
      
      This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
      cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
      __GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
      are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
      callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
      redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
      kswapd for background reclaim.
      
      This patch then converts a number of sites
      
      o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
        pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
      
      o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
        __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
        into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
        are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
      
      o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
        helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
        checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
        positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
        is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
        flag manipulations.
      
      o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
        and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
      
      The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
      and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
      In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
      
      The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
      GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
      now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
      if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

      net: sctp: fix slab corruption from use after free on INIT collisions · 600ddd68

      When hitting an INIT collision case during the 4WHS with AUTH enabled, as
      already described in detail in commit 1be9a950 ("net: sctp: inherit

      still remotely trigger the following panic on server side which seems to

      Since this only triggers in some collision-cases with AUTH, the problem at
      heart is that sctp_auth_key_put() on asoc->asoc_shared_key is called twice
      when having refcnt 1, once directly in sctp_assoc_update() and yet again
      from within sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() via sctp_assoc_update() on
      the already kzfree'd memory, which is also consistent with the observation
      of the poison decrease from 0x6b to 0x6a (note: the overwrite is detected
      at a later point in time when poison is checked on new allocation).
      
      Reference counting of auth keys revisited:
      
      Shared keys for AUTH chunks are being stored in endpoints and associations
      in endpoint_shared_keys list. On endpoint creation, a null key is being
      added; on association creation, all endpoint shared keys are being cached
      and thus cloned over to the association. struct sctp_shared_key only holds
      a pointer to the actual key bytes, that is, struct sctp_auth_bytes which
      keeps track of users internally through refcounting. Naturally, on assoc
      or enpoint destruction, sctp_shared_key are being destroyed directly and
      the reference on sctp_auth_bytes dropped.
      
      User space can add keys to either list via setsockopt(2) through struct
      sctp_authkey and by passing that to sctp_auth_set_key() which replaces or
      adds a new auth key. There, sctp_auth_create_key() creates a new sctp_auth_bytes
      with refcount 1 and in case of replacement drops the reference on the old
      sctp_auth_bytes. A key can be set active from user space through setsockopt()
      on the id via sctp_auth_set_active_key(), which iterates through either
      endpoint_shared_keys and in case of an assoc, invokes (one of various places)
      sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key().
      
      sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() computes the actual secret from local's
      and peer's random, hmac and shared key parameters and returns a new key
      directly as sctp_auth_bytes, that is asoc->asoc_shared_key, plus drops
      the reference if there was a previous one. The secret, which where we
      eventually double drop the ref comes from sctp_auth_asoc_set_secret() with
      intitial refcount of 1, which also stays unchanged eventually in
      sctp_assoc_update(). This key is later being used for crypto layer to
      set the key for the hash in crypto_hash_setkey() from sctp_auth_calculate_hmac().
      
      To close the loop: asoc->asoc_shared_key is freshly allocated secret
      material and independant of the sctp_shared_key management keeping track
      of only shared keys in endpoints and assocs. Hence, also commit 4184b2a7
      ("net: sctp: fix memory leak in auth key management") is independant of
      this bug here since it concerns a different layer (though same structures
      being used eventually). asoc->asoc_shared_key is reference dropped correctly
      on assoc destruction in sctp_association_free() and when active keys are
      being replaced in sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key(), it always has a refcount
      of 1. Hence, it's freed prematurely in sctp_assoc_update(). Simple fix is
      to remove that sctp_auth_key_put() from there which fixes these panics.

      net: sctp: fix panic on duplicate ASCONF chunks · b69040d8
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      When receiving a e.g. semi-good formed connection scan in the
      form of ...
      
        -------------- INIT[ASCONF; ASCONF_ACK] ------------->
        <----------- INIT-ACK[ASCONF; ASCONF_ACK] ------------
        -------------------- COOKIE-ECHO -------------------->
        <-------------------- COOKIE-ACK ---------------------
        ---------------- ASCONF_a; ASCONF_b ----------------->
      
      ... where ASCONF_a equals ASCONF_b chunk (at least both serials
      need to be equal), we panic an SCTP server!
      
      The problem is that good-formed ASCONF chunks that we reply with
      ASCONF_ACK chunks are cached per serial. Thus, when we receive a
      same ASCONF chunk twice (e.g. through a lost ASCONF_ACK), we do
      not need to process them again on the server side (that was the
      idea, also proposed in the RFC). Instead, we know it was cached
      and we just resend the cached chunk instead. So far, so good.
      
      Where things get nasty is in SCTP's side effect interpreter, that
      is, sctp_cmd_interpreter():
      
      While incoming ASCONF_a (chunk = event_arg) is being marked
      !end_of_packet and !singleton, and we have an association context,
      we do not flush the outqueue the first time after processing the
      ASCONF_ACK singleton chunk via SCTP_CMD_REPLY. Instead, we keep it
      queued up, although we set local_cork to 1. Commit 2e3216cd
      changed the precedence, so that as long as we get bundled, incoming
      chunks we try possible bundling on outgoing queue as well. Before
      this commit, we would just flush the output queue.
      
      Now, while ASCONF_a's ASCONF_ACK sits in the corked outq, we
      continue to process the same ASCONF_b chunk from the packet. As
      we have cached the previous ASCONF_ACK, we find it, grab it and
      do another SCTP_CMD_REPLY command on it. So, effectively, we rip
      the chunk->list pointers and requeue the same ASCONF_ACK chunk
      another time. Since we process ASCONF_b, it's correctly marked
      with end_of_packet and we enforce an uncork, and thus flush, thus
      crashing the kernel.
      
      Fix it by testing if the ASCONF_ACK is currently pending and if
      that is the case, do not requeue it. When flushing the output
      queue we may relink the chunk for preparing an outgoing packet,
      but eventually unlink it when it's copied into the skb right
      before transmission.
      
      Joint work with Vlad Yasevich.

      net: sctp: fix suboptimal edge-case on non-active active/retrans path selection · aa4a83ee
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      In SCTP, selection of active (T.ACT) and retransmission (T.RET)
      transports is being done whenever transport control operations
      (UP, DOWN, PF, ...) are engaged through sctp_assoc_control_transport().
      
      Commits 4c47af4d ("net: sctp: rework multihoming retransmission
      path selection to rfc4960") and a7288c4d ("net: sctp: improve
      sctp_select_active_and_retran_path selection") have both improved
      it towards a more fine-grained and optimal path selection.
      
      Currently, the selection algorithm for T.ACT and T.RET is as follows:
      
      1) Elect the two most recently used ACTIVE transports T1, T2 for
         T.ACT, T.RET, where T.ACT<-T1 and T1 is most recently used
      2) In case primary path T.PRI not in {T1, T2} but ACTIVE, set
         T.ACT<-T.PRI and T.RET<-T1
      3) If only T1 is ACTIVE from the set, set T.ACT<-T1 and T.RET<-T1
      4) If none is ACTIVE, set T.ACT<-best(T.PRI, T.RET, T3) where
         T3 is the most recently used (if avail) in PF, set T.RET<-T.PRI
      
      Prior to above commits, 4) was simply a camp on T.ACT<-T.PRI and
      T.RET<-T.PRI, ignoring possible paths in PF. Camping on T.PRI is
      still slightly suboptimal as it can lead to the following scenario:
      
      Setup:
              <A>                                <B>
          T1: p1p1 (10.0.10.10) <==>  .'`)  <==> p1p1 (10.0.10.12)  <= T.PRI
          T2: p1p2 (10.0.10.20) <==> (_ . ) <==> p1p2 (10.0.10.22)
      
          net.sctp.rto_min = 1000
          net.sctp.path_max_retrans = 2
          net.sctp.pf_retrans = 0
          net.sctp.hb_interval = 1000
      
      T.PRI is permanently down, T2 is put briefly into PF state (e.g. due to
      link flapping). Here, the first time transmission is sent over PF path
      T2 as it's the only non-INACTIVE path, but the retransmitted data-chunks
      are sent over the INACTIVE path T1 (T.PRI), which is not good.
      
      After the patch, it's choosing better transports in both cases by
      modifying step 4):
      
      4) If none is ACTIVE, set T.ACT_new<-best(T.ACT_old, T3) where T3 is
         the most recently used (if avail) in PF, set T.RET<-T.ACT_new
      
      This will still select a best possible path in PF if available (which
      can also include T.PRI/T.RET), and set both T.ACT/T.RET to it.
      
      In case sctp_assoc_control_transport() *just* put T.ACT_old into INACTIVE
      as it transitioned from ACTIVE->PF->INACTIVE and stays in INACTIVE just
      for a very short while before going back ACTIVE, it will guarantee that
      this path will be reselected for T.ACT/T.RET since T3 (PF) is not
      available.
      
      Previously, this was not possible, as we would only select between T.PRI
      and T.RET, and a possible T3 would be NULL due to the fact that we have
      just transitioned T3 in sctp_assoc_control_transport() from PF->INACTIVE
      and would select a suboptimal path when T.PRI/T.RET have worse properties.
      
      In the case that T.ACT_old permanently went to INACTIVE during this
      transition and there's no PF path available, plus T.PRI and T.RET are
      INACTIVE as well, we would now camp on T.ACT_old, but if everything is
      being INACTIVE there's really not much we can do except hoping for a
      successful HB to bring one of the transports back up again and, thus
      cause a new selection through sctp_assoc_control_transport().
      
      Now both tests work fine:
      
      Case 1:
      
       1. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT
          T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET
      
       2. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET
          T2 S(PF)
      
       3. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET
          T2 S(INACTIVE)
      
       5. T1 S(PF) T.ACT, T.RET
          T2 S(INACTIVE)
      
      [ 5.1 T1 S(INACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET
            T2 S(INACTIVE) ]
      
       6. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET
          T2 S(INACTIVE)
      
       7. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT
          T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET
      
      Case 2:
      
       1. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT
          T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET
      
       2. T1 S(PF)

       3. T1 S(INACTIVE)

      [ 5.1 T1 S(INACTIVE)
            T2 S(INACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET ]
      
       6. T1 S(INACTIVE)
          T2 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET

      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      When both transports are the same, we don't have to go down that
      road only to realize that we will return the very same transport.
      We are guaranteed that curr is always non-NULL. Therefore, just
      short-circuit this special case.

      While we already had various kind of bugs in that area
      ec0223ec ("net: sctp: fix sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce to verify if
      we/peer is AUTH capable") and b14878cc ("net: sctp: cache
      auth_enable per endpoint"), this one is a bit of a different
      kind.
      
      Giving a bit more background on why SCTP authentication is
      needed can be found in RFC4895:
      
        SCTP uses 32-bit verification tags to protect itself against
        blind attackers. These values are not changed during the
        lifetime of an SCTP association.
      
        Looking at new SCTP extensions, there is the need to have a
        method of proving that an SCTP chunk(s) was really sent by
        the original peer that started the association and not by a
        malicious attacker.
      
      To cause this bug, we're triggering an INIT collision between
      peers; normal SCTP handshake where both sides intent to
      authenticate packets contains RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO
      parameters that are being negotiated among peers:
      
        ---------- INIT[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] ---------->
        <------- INIT-ACK[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] ---------
        -------------------- COOKIE-ECHO -------------------->
        <-------------------- COOKIE-ACK ---------------------
      
      RFC4895 says that each endpoint therefore knows its own random
      number and the peer's random number *after* the association
      has been established. The local and peer's random number along
      with the shared key are then part of the secret used for
      calculating the HMAC in the AUTH chunk.
      
      Now, in our scenario, we have 2 threads with 1 non-blocking
      SEQ_PACKET socket each, setting up common shared SCTP_AUTH_KEY
      and SCTP_AUTH_ACTIVE_KEY properly, and each of them calling
      sctp_bindx(3), listen(2) and connect(2) against each other,
      thus the handshake looks similar to this, e.g.:
      
        ---------- INIT[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] ---------->
        <------- INIT-ACK[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] ---------
        <--------- INIT[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] -----------
        -------- INIT-ACK[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] -------->
        ...
      
      Since such collisions can also happen with verification tags,
      the RFC4895 for AUTH rather vaguely says under section 6.1:
      
        In case of INIT collision, the rules governing the handling
        of this Random Number follow the same pattern as those for
        the Verification Tag, as explained in Section 5.2.4 of
        RFC 2960 [5]. Therefore, each endpoint knows its own Random
        Number and the peer's Random Number after the association
        has been established.
      
      In RFC2960, section 5.2.4, we're eventually hitting Action B:
      
        B) In this case, both sides may be attempting to start an
           association at about the same time but the peer endpoint
           started its INIT after responding to the local endpoint's
           INIT. Thus it may have picked a new Verification Tag not
           being aware of the previous Tag it had sent this endpoint.
           The endpoint should stay in or enter the ESTABLISHED
           state but it MUST update its peer's Verification Tag from
           the State Cookie, stop any init or cookie timers that may
           running and send a COOKIE ACK.
      
      In other words, the handling of the Random parameter is the
      same as behavior for the Verification Tag as described in
      Action B of section 5.2.4.
      
      Looking at the code, we exactly hit the sctp_sf_do_dupcook_b()
      case which triggers an SCTP_CMD_UPDATE_ASSOC command to the
      side effect interpreter, and in fact it properly copies over
      peer_{random, hmacs, chunks} parameters from the newly created
      association to update the existing one.
      
      Also, the old asoc_shared_key is being released and based on
      the new params, sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() updated.
      However, the issue observed in this case is that the previous
      asoc->peer.auth_capable was 0, and has *not* been updated, so
      that instead of creating a new secret, we're doing an early
      return from the function sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key()
      leaving asoc->asoc_shared_key as NULL. However, we now have to
      authenticate chunks from the updated chunk list (e.g. COOKIE-ACK).
      
      That in fact causes the server side when responding with ...
      
        <------------------ AUTH; COOKIE-ACK -----------------
      
      ... to trigger a NULL pointer dereference, since in
      sctp_packet_transmit(), it discovers that an AUTH chunk is
      being queued for xmit, and thus it calls sctp_auth_calculate_hmac().
      
      Since the asoc->active_key_id is still inherited from the
      endpoint, and the same as encoded into the chunk, it uses
      asoc->asoc_shared_key, which is still NULL, as an asoc_key
      and dereferences it in ...
      
        crypto_hash_setkey(desc.tfm, &asoc_key->data[0], asoc_key->len)
      
      ... causing an oops. All this happens because sctp_make_cookie_ack()
      called with the *new* association has the peer.auth_capable=1
      and therefore marks the chunk with auth=1 after checking
      sctp_auth_send_cid(), but it is *actually* sent later on over
      the then *updated* association's transport that didn't initialize
      its shared key due to peer.auth_capable=0. Since control chunks
      in that case are not sent by the temporary association which
      are scheduled for deletion, they are issued for xmit via
      SCTP_CMD_REPLY in the interpreter with the context of the
      *updated* association. peer.auth_capable was 0 in the updated
      association (which went from COOKIE_WAIT into ESTABLISHED state),
      since all previous processing that performed sctp_process_init()
      was being done on temporary associations, that we eventually
      throw away each time.
      
      The correct fix is to update to the new peer.auth_capable
      value as well in the collision case via sctp_assoc_update(),
      so that in case the collision migrated from 0 -> 1,
      sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() can properly recalculate
      the secret. This therefore fixes the observed server panic.

      net: sctp: improve sctp_select_active_and_retran_path selection · a7288c4d
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      In function sctp_select_active_and_retran_path(), we walk the
      transport list in order to look for the two most recently used
      ACTIVE transports (trans_pri, trans_sec). In case we didn't find
      anything ACTIVE, we currently just camp on a possibly PF or
      INACTIVE transport that is primary path; this behavior actually
      dates back to linux-history tree of the very early days of
      lksctp, and can yield a behavior that chooses suboptimal
      transport paths.
      
      Instead, be a bit more clever by reusing and extending the
      recently introduced sctp_trans_elect_best() handler. In case
      both transports are evaluated to have the same score resulting
      from their states, break the tie by looking at: 1) transport
      patch error count 2) last_time_heard value from each transport.
      
      This is analogous to Nishida's Quick Failover draft [1],
      section 5.1, 3:
      
        The sender SHOULD avoid data transmission to PF destinations.
        When all destinations are in either PF or Inactive state,
        the sender MAY either move the destination from PF to active
        state (and transmit data to the active destination) or the
        sender MAY transmit data to a PF destination. In the former
        scenario, (i) the sender MUST NOT notify the ULP about the
        state transition, and (ii) MUST NOT clear the destination's
        error counter. It is recommended that the sender picks the
        PF destination with least error count (fewest consecutive
        timeouts) for data transmission. In case of a tie (multiple PF
        destinations with same error count), the sender MAY choose the
        last active destination.
      
      Thus for sctp_select_active_and_retran_path(), we keep track of
      the best, if any, transport that is in PF state and in case no
      ACTIVE transport has been found (hence trans_{pri,sec} is NULL),
      we select the best out of the three: current primary_path and
      retran_path as well as a possible PF transport.
      
      The secondary may still camp on the original primary_path as
      before. The change in sctp_trans_elect_best() with a more fine
      grained tie selection also improves at the same time path selection
      for sctp_assoc_update_retran_path() in case of non-ACTIVE states.

      net: sctp: remove NULL check in sctp_assoc_update_retran_path · 433131ba
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      This is basically just to let Coverity et al shut up. Remove an
      unneeded NULL check in sctp_assoc_update_retran_path().
      
      It is safe to remove it, because in sctp_assoc_update_retran_path()
      we iterate over the list of transports, our own transport which is
      asoc->peer.retran_path included. In the iteration, we skip the
      list head element and transports in state SCTP_UNCONFIRMED.
      
      Such transports came from peer addresses received in INIT/INIT-ACK
      address parameters. They are not yet confirmed by a heartbeat and
      not available for data transfers.
      
      We know however that in the list of transports, even if it contains
      such elements, it at least contains our asoc->peer.retran_path as
      well, so even if next to that element, we only encounter
      SCTP_UNCONFIRMED transports, we are always going to fall back to
      asoc->peer.retran_path through sctp_trans_elect_best(), as that is
      for sure not SCTP_UNCONFIRMED as per fbdf501c ("sctp: Do no
      select unconfirmed transports for retransmissions").
      
      Whenever we call sctp_trans_elect_best() it will give us a non-NULL
      element back, and therefore when we break out of the loop, we are
      guaranteed to have a non-NULL transport pointer, and can remove
      the NULL check.

      net: sctp: rework multihoming retransmission path selection to rfc4960 · 4c47af4d
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      Problem statement: 1) both paths (primary path1 and alternate
      path2) are up after the association has been established i.e.,
      HB packets are normally exchanged, 2) path2 gets inactive after
      path_max_retrans * max_rto timed out (i.e. path2 is down completely),
      3) now, if a transmission times out on the only surviving/active
      path1 (any ~1sec network service impact could cause this like
      a channel bonding failover), then the retransmitted packets are
      sent over the inactive path2; this happens with partial failover
      and without it.
      
      Besides not being optimal in the above scenario, a small failure
      or timeout in the only existing path has the potential to cause
      long delays in the retransmission (depending on RTO_MAX) until
      the still active path is reselected. Further, when the T3-timeout
      occurs, we have active_patch == retrans_path, and even though the
      timeout occurred on the initial transmission of data, not a
      retransmit, we end up updating retransmit path.
      
      RFC4960, section 6.4. "Multi-Homed SCTP Endpoints" states under
      6.4.1. "Failover from an Inactive Destination Address" the
      following:
      
        Some of the transport addresses of a multi-homed SCTP endpoint
        may become inactive due to either the occurrence of certain
        error conditions (see Section 8.2) or adjustments from the
        SCTP user.
      
        When there is outbound data to send and the primary path
        becomes inactive (e.g., due to failures), or where the SCTP
        user explicitly requests to send data to an inactive
        destination transport address, before reporting an error to
        its ULP, the SCTP endpoint should try to send the data to an
        alternate __active__ destination transport address if one
        exists.
      
        When retransmitting data that timed out, if the endpoint is
        multihomed, it should consider each source-destination address
        pair in its retransmission selection policy. When retransmitting
        timed-out data, the endpoint should attempt to pick the most
        divergent source-destination pair from the original
        source-destination pair to which the packet was transmitted.
      
        Note: Rules for picking the most divergent source-destination
        pair are an implementation decision and are not specified
        within this document.
      
      So, we should first reconsider to take the current active
      retransmission transport if we cannot find an alternative
      active one. If all of that fails, we can still round robin
      through unkown, partial failover, and inactive ones in the
      hope to find something still suitable.
      
      Commit 4141ddc0 ("sctp: retran_path update bug fix") broke
      that behaviour by selecting the next inactive transport when
      no other active transport was found besides the current assoc's
      peer.retran_path. Before commit 4141ddc0, we would have
      traversed through the list until we reach our peer.retran_path
      again, and in case that is still in state SCTP_ACTIVE, we would
      take it and return. Only if that is not the case either, we
      take the next inactive transport.
      
      Besides all that, another issue is that transports in state
      SCTP_UNKNOWN could be preferred over transports in state
      SCTP_ACTIVE in case a SCTP_ACTIVE transport appears after
      SCTP_UNKNOWN in the transport list yielding a weaker transport
      state to be used in retransmission.
      
      This patch mostly reverts 4141ddc0, but also rewrites
      this function to introduce more clarity and strictness into
      the code. A strict priority of transport states is enforced
      in this patch, hence selection is active > unkown > partial
      failover > inactive.

      net: sctp: Fix a_rwnd/rwnd management to reflect real state of the receiver's buffer · ef2820a7
      Matija Glavinic Pecotic 提交于
      Implementation of (a)rwnd calculation might lead to severe performance issues
      and associations completely stalling. These problems are described and solution
      is proposed which improves lksctp's robustness in congestion state.
      
      1) Sudden drop of a_rwnd and incomplete window recovery afterwards
      
      Data accounted in sctp_assoc_rwnd_decrease takes only payload size (sctp data),
      but size of sk_buff, which is blamed against receiver buffer, is not accounted
      in rwnd. Theoretically, this should not be the problem as actual size of buffer
      is double the amount requested on the socket (SO_RECVBUF). Problem here is
      that this will have bad scaling for data which is less then sizeof sk_buff.
      E.g. in 4G (LTE) networks, link interfacing radio side will have a large portion
      of traffic of this size (less then 100B).
      
      An example of sudden drop and incomplete window recovery is given below. Node B
      exhibits problematic behavior. Node A initiates association and B is configured
      to advertise rwnd of 10000. A sends messages of size 43B (size of typical sctp
      message in 4G (LTE) network). On B data is left in buffer by not reading socket
      in userspace.
      
      Lets examine when we will hit pressure state and declare rwnd to be 0 for
      scenario with above stated parameters (rwnd == 10000, chunk size == 43, each
      chunk is sent in separate sctp packet)
      
      Logic is implemented in sctp_assoc_rwnd_decrease:
      
      socket_buffer (see below) is maximum size which can be held in socket buffer
      (sk_rcvbuf). current_alloced is amount of data currently allocated (rx_count)
      
      A simple expression is given for which it will be examined after how many
      packets for above stated parameters we enter pressure state:
      
      We start by condition which has to be met in order to enter pressure state:
      
      	socket_buffer < currently_alloced;
      
      currently_alloced is represented as size of sctp packets received so far and not
      yet delivered to userspace. x is the number of chunks/packets (since there is no
      bundling, and each chunk is delivered in separate packet, we can observe each
      chunk also as sctp packet, and what is important here, having its own sk_buff):
      
      	socket_buffer < x*each_sctp_packet;
      
      each_sctp_packet is sctp chunk size + sizeof(struct sk_buff). socket_buffer is
      twice the amount of initially requested size of socket buffer, which is in case
      of sctp, twice the a_rwnd requested:
      
      	2*rwnd < x*(payload+sizeof(struc sk_buff));
      
      sizeof(struct sk_buff) is 190 (3.13.0-rc4+). Above is stated that rwnd is 10000
      and each payload size is 43
      
      	20000 < x(43+190);
      
      	x > 20000/233;
      
      	x ~> 84;
      
      After ~84 messages, pressure state is entered and 0 rwnd is advertised while
      received 84*43B ~= 3612B sctp data. This is why external observer notices sudden
      drop from 6474 to 0, as it will be now shown in example:

      At this point, rwnd_press stores current rwnd value so it can be later restored
      in sctp_assoc_rwnd_increase. This however doesn't happen as condition to start
      slowly increasing rwnd until rwnd_press is returned to rwnd is never met. This
      condition is not met since rwnd, after it hit 0, must first reach rwnd_press by
      adding amount which is read from userspace. Let us observe values in above
      example. Initial a_rwnd is 10000, pressure was hit when rwnd was ~6500 and the
      amount of actual sctp data currently waiting to be delivered to userspace
      is ~3500. When userspace starts to read, sctp_assoc_rwnd_increase will be blamed
      only for sctp data, which is ~3500. Condition is never met, and when userspace
      reads all data, rwnd stays on 3569.

      Reproduction is straight forward, it is enough for sender to send packets of
      size less then sizeof(struct sk_buff) and receiver keeping them in its buffers.
      
      2) Minute size window for associations sharing the same socket buffer
      
      In case multiple associations share the same socket, and same socket buffer
      (sctp.rcvbuf_policy == 0), different scenarios exist in which congestion on one
      of the associations can permanently drop rwnd of other association(s).
      
      Situation will be typically observed as one association suddenly having rwnd
      dropped to size of last packet received and never recovering beyond that point.
      Different scenarios will lead to it, but all have in common that one of the
      associations (let it be association from 1)) nearly depleted socket buffer, and
      the other association blames socket buffer just for the amount enough to start
      the pressure. This association will enter pressure state, set rwnd_press and
      announce 0 rwnd.
      When data is read by userspace, similar situation as in 1) will occur, rwnd will
      increase just for the size read by userspace but rwnd_press will be high enough
      so that association doesn't have enough credit to reach rwnd_press and restore
      to previous state. This case is special case of 1), being worse as there is, in
      the worst case, only one packet in buffer for which size rwnd will be increased.
      Consequence is association which has very low maximum rwnd ('minute size', in
      our case down to 43B - size of packet which caused pressure) and as such
      unusable.
      
      Scenario happened in the field and labs frequently after congestion state (link
      breaks, different probabilities of packet drop, packet reordering) and with
      scenario 1) preceding. Here is given a deterministic scenario for reproduction:
      
      >From node A establish two associations on the same socket, with rcvbuf_policy
      being set to share one common buffer (sctp.rcvbuf_policy == 0). On association 1
      repeat scenario from 1), that is, bring it down to 0 and restore up. Observe
      scenario 1). Use small payload size (here we use 43). Once rwnd is 'recovered',
      bring it down close to 0, as in just one more packet would close it. This has as
      a consequence that association number 2 is able to receive (at least) one more
      packet which will bring it in pressure state. E.g. if association 2 had rwnd of
      10000, packet received was 43, and we enter at this point into pressure,
      rwnd_press will have 9957. Once payload is delivered to userspace, rwnd will
      increase for 43, but conditions to restore rwnd to original state, just as in
      1), will never be satisfied.

      A careful reader might wonder why it is necessary to reproduce 1) prior
      reproduction of 2). It is simply easier to observe when to send packet over
      association 2 which will push association into the pressure state.
      
      Proposed solution:
      
      Both problems share the same root cause, and that is improper scaling of socket
      buffer with rwnd. Solution in which sizeof(sk_buff) is taken into concern while
      calculating rwnd is not possible due to fact that there is no linear
      relationship between amount of data blamed in increase/decrease with IP packet
      in which payload arrived. Even in case such solution would be followed,
      complexity of the code would increase. Due to nature of current rwnd handling,
      slow increase (in sctp_assoc_rwnd_increase) of rwnd after pressure state is
      entered is rationale, but it gives false representation to the sender of current
      buffer space. Furthermore, it implements additional congestion control mechanism
      which is defined on implementation, and not on standard basis.
      
      Proposed solution simplifies whole algorithm having on mind definition from rfc:
      
      o  Receiver Window (rwnd): This gives the sender an indication of the space
         available in the receiver's inbound buffer.
      
      Core of the proposed solution is given with these lines:
      
      sctp_assoc_rwnd_update:
      	if ((asoc->base.sk->sk_rcvbuf - rx_count) > 0)
      		asoc->rwnd = (asoc->base.sk->sk_rcvbuf - rx_count) >> 1;
      	else
      		asoc->rwnd = 0;
      
      We advertise to sender (half of) actual space we have. Half is in the braces
      depending whether you would like to observe size of socket buffer as SO_RECVBUF
      or twice the amount, i.e. size is the one visible from userspace, that is,
      from kernelspace.
      In this way sender is given with good approximation of our buffer space,
      regardless of the buffer policy - we always advertise what we have. Proposed
      solution fixes described problems and removes necessity for rwnd restoration
      algorithm. Finally, as proposed solution is simplification, some lines of code,
      along with some bytes in struct sctp_association are saved.
      
      Version 2 of the patch addressed comments from Vlad. Name of the function is set
      to be more descriptive, and two parts of code are changed, in one removing the
      superfluous call to sctp_assoc_rwnd_update since call would not result in update
      of rwnd, and the other being reordering of the code in a way that call to
      sctp_assoc_rwnd_update updates rwnd. Version 3 corrected change introduced in v2
      in a way that existing function is not reordered/copied in line, but it is
      correctly called. Thanks Vlad for suggesting.

      sctp: properly latch and use autoclose value from sock to association · 9f70f46b
      Neil Horman 提交于
      Currently, sctp associations latch a sockets autoclose value to an association
      at association init time, subject to capping constraints from the max_autoclose
      sysctl value.  This leads to an odd situation where an application may set a
      socket level autoclose timeout, but sliently sctp will limit the autoclose
      timeout to something less than that.
      
      Fix this by modifying the autoclose setsockopt function to check the limit, cap
      it and warn the user via syslog that the timeout is capped.  This will allow
      getsockopt to return valid autoclose timeout values that reflect what subsequent
      associations actually use.
      
      While were at it, also elimintate the assoc->autoclose variable, it duplicates
      whats in the timeout array, which leads to multiple sources for the same
      information, that may differ (as the former isn't subject to any capping).  This
      gives us the timeout information in a canonical place and saves some space in
      the association structure as well.

      net: sctp: rework debugging framework to use pr_debug and friends · bb33381d
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      We should get rid of all own SCTP debug printk macros and use the ones
      that the kernel offers anyway instead. This makes the code more readable
      and conform to the kernel code, and offers all the features of dynamic
      debbuging that pr_debug() et al has, such as only turning on/off portions
      of debug messages at runtime through debugfs. The runtime cost of having
      CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled, but none of the debug statements printing,
      is negligible [1]. If kernel debugging is completly turned off, then these
      statements will also compile into "empty" functions.
      
      While we're at it, we also need to change the Kconfig option as it /now/
      only refers to the ifdef'ed code portions in outqueue.c that enable further
      debugging/tracing of SCTP transaction fields. Also, since SCTP_ASSERT code
      was enabled with this Kconfig option and has now been removed, we
      transform those code parts into WARNs resp. where appropriate BUG_ONs so
      that those bugs can be more easily detected as probably not many people
      have SCTP debugging permanently turned on.
      
      To turn on all SCTP debugging, the following steps are needed:
      
       # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
       # echo -n 'module sctp +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
      
      This can be done more fine-grained on a per file, per line basis and others
      as described in [2].

      net: sctp: migrate cookie life from timeval to ktime · 52db882f
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      Currently, SCTP code defines its own timeval functions (since timeval
      is rarely used inside the kernel by others), namely tv_lt() and
      TIMEVAL_ADD() macros, that operate on SCTP cookie expiration.
      
      We might as well remove all those, and operate directly on ktime
      structures for a couple of reasons: ktime is available on all archs;
      complexity of ktime calculations depending on the arch is less than
      (reduces to a simple arithmetic operations on archs with
      BITS_PER_LONG == 64 or CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR) or equal to timeval
      functions (other archs); code becomes more readable; macros can be
      thrown out.
