rxrpc: Fix the names of the fields in the ACK trailer struct

[ Upstream commit 17469ae0582aaacad36e8e858f58b86c369f21ef ]

From AFS-3.3 a trailer containing extra info was added to the ACK packet
format - but AF_RXRPC has the names of some of the fields mixed up compared
to other AFS implementations.

Rename the struct and the fields to make them match.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:

- Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
default value allows for better BIG TCP performances

- Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers

- RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when
possible

- Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and
unneeded softirq avoidance

- Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking

- Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]

- Optimize again the skb struct layout

- Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
subsystems

- Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts

BPF:

- Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and
variable-sized accesses

- Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward

- Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types

- Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device
operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for
controlling encap params

- Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular
kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light
skeleton

- Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming
BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping
capabilities

- Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce
BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc

- Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and
in local storage maps

- Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
tasks to be stored in BPF maps

- Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
rbtree

- Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in
convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to
start emitting them

- Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf

- Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations

Protocols:

- IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
indicates the provenance of the IP address

- IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition

- Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to
implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf

- Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
resilience to nodes failures

- SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
schedulers

- MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
will allow for later better LSM interaction

- xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
not needed anymore

- WiFi:
- reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
- HW timestamping support
- support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
- per-link debugfs for multi-link
- TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
- mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
- enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support

Netfilter:

- Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
instead of being bridged

- Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6
Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from
hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support

- The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
anymore

- Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has
the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used

- Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device

Driver API:

- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time

- Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
then bridge to use them

- Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
localized NAPI

- Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
further code de-duplication and sanitization

- Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs

- Add partial YNL specification for devlink

- Add partial YNL specification for ethtool

- Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes

- Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
underlying device

- Add basic LED support for switch/phy

- Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links

- Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a
preparatory work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable
by user space

- Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
controllers

rxrpc: Replace fake flex-array with flexible-array member

Zero-length arrays as fake flexible arrays are deprecated and we are
moving towards adopting C99 flexible-array members instead.

Transform zero-length array into flexible-array member in struct
rxrpc_ackpacket.

Address the following warnings found with GCC-13 and
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 enabled:
net/rxrpc/call_event.c:149:38: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of ‘uint8_t[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[]’} [-Warray-bounds=]

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].

David Howells says:

====================
rxrpc: Increasing SACK size and moving away from softirq, part 1

AF_RXRPC has some issues that need addressing:

(1) The SACK table has a maximum capacity of 255, but for modern networks
that isn't sufficient. This is hard to increase in the upstream code
because of the way the application thread is coupled to the softirq
and retransmission side through a ring buffer. Adjustments to the rx
protocol allows a capacity of up to 8192, and having a ring
sufficiently large to accommodate that would use an excessive amount
of memory as this is per-call.

(2) Processing ACKs in softirq mode causes the ACKs get conflated, with
only the most recent being considered. Whilst this has the upside
that the retransmission algorithm only needs to deal with the most
recent ACK, it causes DATA transmission for a call to be very bursty
because DATA packets cannot be transmitted in softirq mode. Rather
transmission must be delegated to either the application thread or a
workqueue, so there tend to be sudden bursts of traffic for any
particular call due to scheduling delays.

(3) All crypto in a single call is done in series; however, each DATA
packet is individually encrypted so encryption and decryption of large
calls could be parallelised if spare CPU resources are available.

This is the first of a number of sets of patches that try and address them.
The overall aims of these changes include:

(1) To get rid of the TxRx ring and instead pass the packets round in
queues (eg. sk_buff_head). On the Tx side, each ACK packet comes with
a SACK table that can be parsed as-is, so there's no particular need
to maintain our own; we just have to refer to the ACK.

On the Rx side, we do need to maintain a SACK table with one bit per
entry - but only if packets go missing - and we don't want to have to
perform a complex transformation to get the information into an ACK
packet.

(2) To try and move almost all processing of received packets out of the
softirq handler and into a high-priority kernel I/O thread. Only the
transferral of packets would be left there. I would still use the
encap_rcv hook to receive packets as there's a noticeable performance
drop from letting the UDP socket put the packets into its own queue
and then getting them out of there.

(3) To make the I/O thread also do all the transmission. The app thread
would be responsible for packaging the data into packets and then
buffering them for the I/O thread to transmit. This would make it
easier for the app thread to run ahead of the I/O thread, and would
mean the I/O thread is less likely to have to wait around for a new
packet to come available for transmission.

(4) To logically partition the socket/UAPI/KAPI side of things from the
I/O side of things. The local endpoint, connection, peer and call
objects would belong to the I/O side. The socket side would not then
touch the private internals of calls and suchlike and would not change
their states. It would only look at the send queue, receive queue and
a way to pass a message to cause an abort.

(5) To remove as much locking, synchronisation, barriering and atomic ops
as possible from the I/O side. Exclusion would be achieved by
limiting modification of state to the I/O thread only. Locks would
still need to be used in communication with the UDP socket and the
AF_RXRPC socket API.

(6) To provide crypto offload kernel threads that, when there's slack in
the system, can see packets that need crypting and provide
parallelisation in dealing with them.

(7) To remove the use of system timers. Since each timer would then send
a poke to the I/O thread, which would then deal with it when it had
the opportunity, there seems no point in using system timers if,
instead, a list of timeouts can be sensibly consulted. An I/O thread
only then needs to schedule with a timeout when it is idle.

(8) To use zero-copy sendmsg to send packets. This would make use of the
I/O thread being the sole transmitter on the socket to manage the
dead-reckoning sequencing of the completion notifications. There is a
problem with zero-copy, though: the UDP socket doesn't handle running
out of option memory very gracefully.

With regard to this first patchset, the changes made include:

(1) Some fixes, including a fallback for proc_create_net_single_write(),
setting ack.bufferSize to 0 in ACK packets and a fix for rxrpc
congestion management, which shouldn't be saving the cwnd value
between calls.

(2) Improvements in rxrpc tracepoints, including splitting the timer
tracepoint into a set-timer and a timer-expired trace.

(3) Addition of a new proc file to display some stats.

(4) Some code cleanups, including removing some unused bits and
unnecessary header inclusions.

(5) A change to the recently added UDP encap_err_rcv hook so that it has
the same signature as {ip,ipv6}_icmp_error(), and then just have rxrpc
point its UDP socket's hook directly at those.

(6) Definition of a new struct, rxrpc_txbuf, that is used to hold
transmissible packets of DATA and ACK type in a single 2KiB block
rather than using an sk_buff. This allows the buffer to be on a
number of queues simultaneously more easily, and also guarantees that
the entire block is in a single unit for zerocopy purposes and that
the data payload is aligned for in-place crypto purposes.

(7) ACK txbufs are allocated at proposal and queued for later transmission
rather than being stored in a single place in the rxrpc_call struct,
which means only a single ACK can be pending transmission at a time.
The queue is then drained at various points. This allows the ACK
generation code to be simplified.

(8) The Rx ring buffer is removed. When a jumbo packet is received (which
comprises a number of ordinary DATA packets glued together), it used
to be pointed to by the ring multiple times, with an annotation in a
side ring indicating which subpacket was in that slot - but this is no
longer possible. Instead, the packet is cloned once for each
subpacket, barring the last, and the range of data is set in the skb
private area. This makes it easier for the subpackets in a jumbo
packet to be decrypted in parallel.

(9) The Tx ring buffer is removed. The side annotation ring that held the
SACK information is also removed. Instead, in the event of packet
loss, the SACK data attached an ACK packet is parsed.

(10) Allocate an skcipher request when needed in the rxkad security class
rather than caching one in the rxrpc_call struct. This deals with a
race between externally-driven call disconnection getting rid of the
skcipher request and sendmsg/recvmsg trying to use it because they
haven't seen the completion yet. This is also needed to support
parallelisation as the skcipher request cannot be used by two or more
threads simultaneously.

(11) Call udp_sendmsg() and udpv6_sendmsg() directly rather than going
through kernel_sendmsg() so that we can provide our own iterator
(zerocopy explicitly doesn't work with a KVEC iterator). This also
lets us avoid the overhead of the security hook.

rxrpc: Clone received jumbo subpackets and queue separately

Split up received jumbo packets into separate skbuffs by cloning the
original skbuff for each subpacket and setting the offset and length of the
data in that subpacket in the skbuff's private data. The subpackets are
then placed on the recvmsg queue separately. The security class then gets
to revise the offset and length to remove its metadata.

If we fail to clone a packet, we just drop it and let the peer resend it.
The original packet gets used for the final subpacket.

This should make it easier to handle parallel decryption of the subpackets.
It also simplifies the handling of lost or misordered packets in the
queuing/buffering loop as the possibility of overlapping jumbo packets no
longer needs to be considered.
