Linus Torvalds a11e1d432b Revert changes to convert to ->poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL
The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained.  They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.

Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead.  That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case.  The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

[ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
  individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy  - Linus ]

Eric Dumazet 5e0724d027 tcp/dccp: fix hashdance race for passive sessions
Multiple cpus can process duplicates of incoming ACK messages
matching a SYN_RECV request socket. This is a rare event under
normal operations, but definitely can happen.

Only one must win the race, otherwise corruption would occur.

To fix this without adding new atomic ops, we use logic in
inet_ehash_nolisten() to detect the request was present in the same
ehash bucket where we try to insert the new child.

If request socket was not found, we have to undo the child creation.

This actually removes a spin_lock()/spin_unlock() pair in
reqsk_queue_unlink() for the fast path.

Gerrit Renker d6916f87ca dccp: support for the exchange of NN options in established state 1/2
In contrast to static feature negotiation at the begin of a connection, this
patch introduces support for exchange of dynamically changing options.

Such an update/exchange is necessary in at least two cases:
 * CCID-2's Ack Ratio (RFC 4341, 6.1.2) which changes during the connection;
 * Sequence Window values that, as per RFC 4340, 7.5.2, should be sent "as
   the connection progresses".

Both are non-negotiable (NN) features, which means that no new capabilities
are negotiated, but rather that changes in known parameters are brought
up-to-date at either end.

Thse characteristics are reflected by the implementation:
 * only NN options can be exchanged after connection setup;
 * an ack is scheduled directly after activation to speed up the update;
 * CCIDs may request changes to an NN feature even if a negotiation for that
   feature is already underway: this is required by CCID-2, where changes in
   cwnd necessitate Ack Ratio changes, such that the previous Ack Ratio (which
   is still being negotiated) would cause irrecoverable RTO timeouts (thanks
   to work by Samuel Jero).

This patch adds a generic infrastructure for policy-based dequeueing of
TX packets and provides two policies:
 * a simple FIFO policy (which is the default) and
 * a priority based policy (set via socket options).
Both policies honour the tx_qlen sysctl for the maximum size of the write
queue (can be overridden via socket options).

The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority
identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field
is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary
data using cmsg(3), the patch also provides the requisite parsing routines.

Gerrit Renker b3d14bff12 dccp ccid-2: Implementation of circular Ack Vector buffer with overflow handling
This completes the implementation of a circular buffer for Ack Vectors, by
extending the current (linear array-based) implementation.  The changes are:

 (a) An `overflow' flag to deal with the case of overflow. As before, dynamic
     growth of the buffer will not be supported; but code will be added to deal
     robustly with overflowing Ack Vector buffers.

 (b) A `tail_seqno' field. When naively implementing the algorithm of Appendix A
     in RFC 4340, problems arise whenever subsequent Ack Vector records overlap,
     which can bring the entire run length calculation completely out of synch.
     (This is documented on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/\
                                             ack_vectors/tracking_tail_ackno/ .)
 (c) The buffer length is now computed dynamically (i.e. current fill level),
     as the span between head to tail.

As a result, dccp_ackvec_pending() is now simpler - the #ifdef is no longer
necessary since buf_empty is always true when IP_DCCP_ACKVEC is not configured.

Gerrit Renker b1fcf55eea dccp: Refine the wait-for-ccid mechanism
This extends the existing wait-for-ccid routine so that it may be used with
different types of CCID, addressing the following problems:

 1) The queue-drain mechanism only works with rate-based CCIDs. If CCID-2 for
    example has a full TX queue and becomes network-limited just as the
    application wants to close, then waiting for CCID-2 to become unblocked
    could lead to an indefinite  delay (i.e., application "hangs").
 2) Since each TX CCID in turn uses a feedback mechanism, there may be changes
    in its sending policy while the queue is being drained. This can lead to
    further delays during which the application will not be able to terminate.
 3) The minimum wait time for CCID-3/4 can be expected to be the queue length
    times the current inter-packet delay. For example if tx_qlen=100 and a delay
    of 15 ms is used for each packet, then the application would have to wait
    for a minimum of 1.5 seconds before being allowed to exit.
 4) There is no way for the user/application to control this behaviour. It would
    be good to use the timeout argument of dccp_close() as an upper bound. Then
    the maximum time that an application is willing to wait for its CCIDs to can
    be set via the SO_LINGER option.

These problems are addressed by giving the CCID a grace period of up to the
`timeout' value.

The wait-for-ccid function is, as before, used when the application
 (a) has read all the data in its receive buffer and
 (b) if SO_LINGER was set with a non-zero linger time, or
 (c) the socket is either in the OPEN (active close) or in the PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ
     state (client application closes after receiving CloseReq).

In addition, there is a catch-all case of __skb_queue_purge() after waiting for
the CCID. This is necessary since the write queue may still have data when
 (a) the host has been passively-closed,
 (b) abnormal termination (unread data, zero linger time),
 (c) wait-for-ccid could not finish within the given time limit.

Let S_A, S_B be sequence numbers such that S_B is "after" S_A, and let

 D = S_B - S_A - 1  is an upper bound of the number of lost data packets,
 D - N_B            is an approximation of the number of lost data packets
                    (there are cases where this is not exact).

Gerrit Renker 0b53d4604a dccp: fix the adjustments to AWL and SWL
This fixes a problem and a potential loophole with regard to seqno/ackno
validity: currently the initial adjustments to AWL/SWL are only performed
once at the begin of the connection, during the handshake.

Since the Sequence Window feature is always greater than Wmin=32 (7.5.2),
it is however necessary to perform these adjustments at least for the first
W/W' (variables as per 7.5.1) packets in the lifetime of a connection.

This requirement is complicated by the fact that W/W' can change at any time
during the lifetime of a connection.

Therefore it is better to perform that safety check each time SWL/AWL are
updated, as implemented by the patch.

A second problem solved by this patch is that the remote/local Sequence Window
feature values (which set the bounds for AWL/SWL/SWH) are undefined until the
feature negotiation has completed.

During the initial handshake we have more stringent sequence number protection;
the changes added by this patch effect that {A,S}W{L,H} are within the correct
bounds at the instant that feature negotiation completes (since the SeqWin
feature activation handlers call dccp_update_gsr/gss()).

Gerrit Renker 86739fb96e dccp: Do not let initial option overhead shrink the MPS
This fixes a problem caused by the overlap of the connection-setup and
established-state phases of DCCP connections.

During connection setup, the client retransmits Confirm Feature-Negotiation
options until a response from the server signals that it can move from the
half-established PARTOPEN into the OPEN state, whereupon the connection is
fully established on both ends (RFC 4340, 8.1.5).

However, since the client may already send data while it is in the PARTOPEN
state, consequences arise for the Maximum Packet Size: the problem is that the
initial option overhead is much higher than for the subsequent established
phase, as it involves potentially many variable-length list-type options
(server-priority options, RFC 4340, 6.4).

Applying the standard MPS is insufficient here: especially with larger
payloads this can lead to annoying, counter-intuitive EMSGSIZE errors.

On the other hand, reducing the MPS available for the established phase by
the added initial overhead is highly wasteful and inefficient.

The solution chosen therefore is a two-phase strategy:

   If the payload length of the DataAck in PARTOPEN is too large, an Ack is sent
   to carry the options, and the feature-negotiation list is then flushed.

   This means that the server gets two Acks for one Response. If both Acks get
   lost, it is probably better to restart the connection anyway and devising yet
   another special-case does not seem worth the extra complexity.

The result is a higher utilisation of the available packet space for the data
transmission phase (established state) of a connection.

The patch (over-)estimates the initial overhead to be 32*4 bytes -- commonly
seen values were around 90 bytes for initial feature-negotiation options.

It uses sizeof(u32) to mean "aligned units of 4 bytes".
For consistency, another use of 4-byte alignment is adapted.

This patch takes care of initialising and type-checking sysctls
related to feature negotiation. Type checking is important since some
of the sysctls now directly impact the feature-negotiation process.

The sysctls are initialised with the known default values for each
feature.  For the type-checking the value constraints from RFC 4340
are used:

 * Sequence Window uses the specified Wmin=32, the maximum is ulong (4 bytes),
   tested and confirmed that it works up to 4294967295 - for Gbps speed;
 * Ack Ratio is between 0 .. 0xffff (2-byte unsigned integer);
 * CCIDs are between 0 .. 255;
 * request_retries, retries1, retries2 also between 0..255 for good measure;
 * tx_qlen is checked to be non-negative;
 * sync_ratelimit remains as before.

Notes:
------
 1. Die s@sysctl_dccp_feat@sysctl_dccp@g since the sysctls are now in feat.c.
 2. As pointed out by Arnaldo, the pattern of type-checking repeats itself in
    other places, sometimes with exactly the same kind of definitions (e.g.
    "static int zero;"). It may be a good idea (kernel janitors?) to consolidate
    type checking. For the sake of keeping the changeset small and in order not
    to affect other subsystems, I have not strived to generalise here.

Gerrit Renker 792b48780e dccp: Implement both feature-local and feature-remote Sequence Window feature
This adds full support for local/remote Sequence Window feature, from which the
  * sequence-number-validity (W) and
  * acknowledgment-number-validity (W') windows
derive as specified in RFC 4340, 7.5.3.

Specifically, the following is contained in this patch:
  * integrated new socket fields into dccp_sk;
  * updated the update_gsr/gss routines with regard to these fields;
  * updated handler code: the Sequence Window feature is located at the TX side,
    so the local feature is meant if the handler-rx flag is false;
  * the initialisation of `rcv_wnd' in reqsk is removed, since
    - rcv_wnd is not used by the code anywhere;
    - sequence number checks are not done in the LISTEN state (cf. 7.5.3);
    - dccp_check_req checks the Ack number validity more rigorously;
  * the `struct dccp_minisock' became empty and is now removed.

Gerrit Renker ddebc973c5 dccp: Lockless integration of CCID congestion-control plugins
Based on Arnaldo's earlier patch, this patch integrates the standardised
CCID congestion control plugins (CCID-2 and CCID-3) of DCCP with dccp.ko:

 * enables a faster connection path by eliminating the need to always go 
   through the CCID registration lock;

 * updates the implementation to use only a single array whose size equals
   the number of configured CCIDs instead of the maximum (256);

 * since the CCIDs are now fixed array elements, synchronization is no
   longer needed, simplifying use and implementation.

CCID-2 is suggested as minimum for a basic DCCP implementation (RFC 4340, 10);
CCID-3 is a standards-track CCID supported by RFC 4342 and RFC 5348.

Gerrit Renker 6fdd34d43b dccp ccid-2: Phase out the use of boolean Ack Vector sysctl
This removes the use of the sysctl and the minisock variable for the Send Ack
Vector feature, as it now is handled fully dynamically via feature negotiation
(i.e. when CCID-2 is enabled, Ack Vectors are automatically enabled as per
 RFC 4341, 4.).

Using a sysctl in parallel to this implementation would open the door to
crashes, since much of the code relies on tests of the boolean minisock /
sysctl variable. Thus, this patch replaces all tests of type

	if (dccp_msk(sk)->dccpms_send_ack_vector)
		/* ... */
with
	if (dp->dccps_hc_rx_ackvec != NULL)
		/* ... */

The dccps_hc_rx_ackvec is allocated by the dccp_hdlr_ackvec() when feature
negotiation concluded that Ack Vectors are to be used on the half-connection.
Otherwise, it is NULL (due to dccp_init_sock/dccp_create_openreq_child),
so that the test is a valid one.

The activation handler for Ack Vectors is called as soon as the feature
negotiation has concluded at the
 * server when the Ack marking the transition RESPOND => OPEN arrives;
 * client after it has sent its ACK, marking the transition REQUEST => PARTOPEN.

Adding the sequence number of the Response packet to the Ack Vector has been
removed, since
 (a) connection establishment implies that the Response has been received;
 (b) the CCIDs only look at packets received in the (PART)OPEN state, i.e.
     this entry will always be ignored;
 (c) it can not be used for anything useful - to detect loss for instance, only
     packets received after the loss can serve as pseudo-dupacks.

There was a FIXME to change the error code when dccp_ackvec_add() fails.
I removed this after finding out that:
 * the check whether ackno < ISN is already made earlier,
 * this Response is likely the 1st packet with an Ackno that the client gets,
 * so when dccp_ackvec_add() fails, the reason is likely not a packet error.

Gerrit Renker 4098dce5be dccp: Remove manual influence on NDP Count feature
Updating the NDP count feature is handled automatically now:
 * for CCID-2 it is disabled, since the code does not use NDP counts;
 * for CCID-3 it is enabled, as NDP counts are used to determine loss lengths.

Allowing the user to change NDP values leads to unpredictable and failing
behaviour, since it is then possible to disable NDP counts even when they
are needed (e.g. in CCID-3).

This means that only those user settings are sensible that agree with the
values for Send NDP Count implied by the choice of CCID. But those settings
are already activated by the feature negotiation (CCID dependency tracking),
hence this form of support is redundant.

At startup the initialisation of the NDP count feature uses the default
value of 0, which is done implicitly by the zeroing-out of the socket when
it is allocated. If the choice of CCID or feature negotiation enables NDP
count, this will then be updated via the NDP activation handler.

Gerrit Renker 422d9cdcb8 dccp: Feature activation handlers
This patch provides the post-processing of feature negotiation state, after
the negotiation has completed.

To this purpose, handlers are used and added to the dccp_feat_table. Each
handler is passed a boolean flag whether the RX or TX side of the feature
is meant.

Several handlers are provided already, new handlers can easily be added.

The initialisation is now fully dynamic, i.e. CCIDs are activated only
after the feature negotiation. The integration of this dynamic activation
is done in the subsequent patches.

Thanks to Wei Yongjun for pointing out the necessity of skipping over empty
Confirm options while copying the negotiated feature values.

Gerrit Renker dd9c0e363c dccp: Deprecate Ack Ratio sysctl
This patch deprecates the Ack Ratio sysctl, since
 * Ack Ratio is entirely ignored by CCID-3 and CCID-4,
 * Ack Ratio currently doesn't work in CCID-2 (i.e. is always set to 1);
 * even if it would work in CCID-2, there is no point for a user to change it:
   - Ack Ratio is constrained by cwnd (RFC 4341, 6.1.2),
   - if Ack Ratio > cwnd, the system resorts to spurious RTO timeouts
     (since waiting for Acks which will never arrive in this window),
   - cwnd is not a user-configurable value.

The only reasonable place for Ack Ratio is to print it for debugging. It is
planned to do this later on, as part of e.g. dccp_probe.

With this patch Ack Ratio is now under full control of feature negotiation:
 * Ack Ratio is resolved as a dependency of the selected CCID;
 * if the chosen CCID supports it (i.e. CCID == CCID-2), Ack Ratio is set to
   the default of 2, following RFC 4340, 11.3 - "New connections start with Ack
   Ratio 2 for both endpoints";
 * what happens then is part of another patch set, since it concerns the
   dynamic update of Ack Ratio while the connection is in full flight.

Thanks to Tomasz Grobelny for discussion leading up to this patch.

This adds a hook to resolve features whose value depends on the choice of
CCID. It is done at the server since it can only be done after the CCID
values have been negotiated; i.e. the client will add its CCID preference
list on the Change options sent in the Request, which will be reconciled
with the local preference list of the server.

Gerrit Renker 9eca0a47de dccp: Resolve dependencies of features on choice of CCID
This provides a missing link in the code chain, as several features implicitly
depend and/or rely on the choice of CCID. Most notably, this is the Send Ack Vector
feature, but also Ack Ratio and Send Loss Event Rate (also taken care of).

For Send Ack Vector, the situation is as follows:
 * since CCID2 mandates the use of Ack Vectors, there is no point in allowing 
   endpoints which use CCID2 to disable Ack Vector features such a connection;

 * a peer with a TX CCID of CCID2 will always expect Ack Vectors, and a peer
   with a RX CCID of CCID2 must always send Ack Vectors (RFC 4341, sec. 4);

 * for all other CCIDs, the use of (Send) Ack Vector is optional and thus
   negotiable. However, this implies that the code negotiating the use of Ack
   Vectors also supports it (i.e. is able to supply and to either parse or
   ignore received Ack Vectors). Since this is not the case (CCID-3 has no Ack
   Vector support), the use of Ack Vectors is here disabled, with a comment
   in the source code.

An analogous consideration arises for the Send Loss Event Rate feature,
since the CCID-3 implementation does not support the loss interval options
of RFC 4342. To make such use explicit, corresponding feature-negotiation
options are inserted which signal the use of the loss event rate option,
as it is used by the CCID3 code.

Lastly, the values of the Ack Ratio feature are matched to the choice of CCID.

The patch implements this as a function which is called after the user has
made all other registrations for changing default values of features.

The table is variable-length, the reserved (and hence for feature-negotiation
invalid, confirmed by considering section 19.4 of RFC 4340) feature number `0'
is used to mark the end of the table.
