rxrpc: Fix call state set to not include the SERVER_SECURING state

rxrpc: Fix call state set to not include the SERVER_SECURING state

[ Upstream commit 41b996ce83bf944de5569d6263c8dbd5513e7ed0 ]

The RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_SECURING state doesn't really belong with the other
states in the call's state set as the other states govern the call's Rx/Tx
phase transition and govern when packets can and can't be received or
transmitted. The "Securing" state doesn't actually govern the reception of
packets and would need to be split depending on whether or not we've
received the last packet yet (to mirror RECV_REQUEST/ACK_REQUEST).

The "Securing" state is more about whether or not we can start forwarding
packets to the application as recvmsg will need to decode them and the
decoding can't take place until the challenge/response exchange has
completed.

Fix this by removing the RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_SECURING state from the state
set and, instead, using a flag, RXRPC_CALL_CONN_CHALLENGING, to track
whether or not we can queue the call for reception by recvmsg() or notify
the kernel app that data is ready. In the event that we've already
received all the packets, the connection event handler will poke the app
layer in the appropriate manner.

Also there's a race whereby the app layer sees the last packet before rxrpc
has managed to end the rx phase and change the state to one amenable to
allowing a reply. Fix this by queuing the packet after calling
rxrpc_end_rx_phase().

rxrpc: Fix congestion control algorithm

[ Upstream commit ba4e103848d3a2a28a0445e39f4a9564187efe54 ]

Make the following fixes to the congestion control algorithm:

(1) Don't vary the cwnd starting value by the size of RXRPC_TX_SMSS since
that's currently held constant - set to the size of a jumbo subpacket
payload so that we can create jumbo packets on the fly. The current
code invariably picks 3 as the starting value.

Further, the starting cwnd needs to be an even number because we ack
every other packet, so set it to 4.

(2) Don't cut ssthresh when we see an ACK come from the peer with a
receive window (rwind) less than ssthresh. ssthresh keeps track of
characteristics of the connection whereas rwind may be reduced by the
peer for any reason - and may be reduced to 0.

rxrpc: Fix counting of new acks and nacks

[ Upstream commit 41b7fa157ea1c8c3a575ca7f5f32034de9bee3ae ]

Fix the counting of new acks and nacks when parsing a packet - something
that is used in congestion control.

As the code stands, it merely notes if there are any nacks whereas what we
really should do is compare the previous SACK table to the new one,
assuming we get two successive ACK packets with nacks in them. However, we
really don't want to do that if we can avoid it as the tables might not
correspond directly as one may be shifted from the other - something that
will only get harder to deal with once extended ACK tables come into full
use (with a capacity of up to 8192).

Instead, count the number of nacks shifted out of the old SACK, the number
of nacks retained in the portion still active and the number of new acks
and nacks in the new table then calculate what we need.

Note this ends up a bit of an estimate as the Rx protocol allows acks to be
withdrawn by the receiver and packets requested to be retransmitted.

Here are three patches to fix timeouts handling in AF_RXRPC:

(1) The hard call timeout should be interpreted in seconds, not
milliseconds.

(2) Allow a waiting call to be aborted (thereby cancelling the call) in
the case a signal interrupts sendmsg() and leaves it hanging until it
is granted a channel on a connection.

(3) Kernel-generated calls get the timer started on them even if they're
still waiting to be attached to a connection. If the timer expires
before the wait is complete and a conn is attached, an oops will
occur.

rxrpc: Fix timeout of a call that hasn't yet been granted a channel

afs_make_call() calls rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() to begin a call (which may
get stalled in the background waiting for a connection to become
available); it then calls rxrpc_kernel_set_max_life() to set the timeouts -
but that starts the call timer so the call timer might then expire before
we get a connection assigned - leading to the following oops if the call
stalled:

Fix this by noting the timeouts in struct rxrpc_call when the call is
created. The timer will be started when the first packet is transmitted.

It shouldn't be possible to trigger this directly from userspace through
AF_RXRPC as sendmsg() will return EBUSY if the call is in the
waiting-for-conn state if it dropped out of the wait due to a signal.

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:

- Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement

- Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules

- My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.

Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior
to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective
debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the
functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to
have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will
want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.

Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details:

The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a
new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put
together all types of supported module memory types in one data
structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a
module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This
paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way.
If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we
handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been
in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to
provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as
quite a bit of fixes have been found for it.

Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user
by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module
specific dynamic debug information.

Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:

a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area is
active with no clear solution in sight.

b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags

In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf").

Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only
one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The
complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a
possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object
being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it
being part of a module, and if so define a new define
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0].

A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to
have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as
well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules
always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of
Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh
Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would
benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for
other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were
mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped
with no clear solution in sight [1].

In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could
never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and
so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for
this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has
good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical
cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker
issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE()
tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be
modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do
this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not
understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative /
guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which
dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing,
it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a
file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use:

./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)

You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but
that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it
demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.

Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I
just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those
changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.

The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a
systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out
of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists
of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already
present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the
modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.

The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in
linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix
for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with
larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a
bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge
them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
instead"

Change DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() to take a number argument

Fundamentally semaphores are a counted primitive, but
DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() does not expose this and explicitly creates a

Change DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() to take a number argument and use that in the
few places that open-coded it using __SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER().
