strparser: Generalize strparser

Generalize strparser from more than just being used in conjunction
with read_sock. strparser will also be used in the send path with
zero proxy. The primary change is to create strp_process function
that performs the critical processing on skbs. The documentation
is also updated to reflect the new uses.

+Stream Parser (strparser)
+
+Introduction
+============
 
 The stream parser (strparser) is a utility that parses messages of an
-application layer protocol running over a TCP connection. The stream
+application layer protocol running over a data stream. The stream
 parser works in conjunction with an upper layer in the kernel to provide
 kernel support for application layer messages. For instance, Kernel
 Connection Multiplexor (KCM) uses the Stream Parser to parse messages
 using a BPF program.
 
+The strparser works in one of two modes: receive callback or general
+mode.
+
+In receive callback mode, the strparser is called from the data_ready
+callback of a TCP socket. Messages are parsed and delivered as they are
+received on the socket.
+
+In general mode, a sequence of skbs are fed to strparser from an
+outside source. Message are parsed and delivered as the sequence is
+processed. This modes allows strparser to be applied to arbitrary
+streams of data.
+
 Interface
----------
+=========
 
 The API includes a context structure, a set of callbacks, utility
-functions, and a data_ready function. The callbacks include
-a parse_msg function that is called to perform parsing (e.g.
-BPF parsing in case of KCM), and a rcv_msg function that is called
-when a full message has been completed.
+functions, and a data_ready function for receive callback mode. The
+callbacks include a parse_msg function that is called to perform
+parsing (e.g.  BPF parsing in case of KCM), and a rcv_msg function
+that is called when a full message has been completed.
 
-A stream parser can be instantiated for a TCP connection. This is done
-by:
+Functions
+=========
 
-strp_init(struct strparser *strp, struct sock *csk,
+strp_init(struct strparser *strp, struct sock *sk,
 	  struct strp_callbacks *cb)
 
-strp is a struct of type strparser that is allocated by the upper layer.
-csk is the TCP socket associated with the stream parser. Callbacks are
-called by the stream parser.
+     Called to initialize a stream parser. strp is a struct of type
+     strparser that is allocated by the upper layer. sk is the TCP
+     socket associated with the stream parser for use with receive
+     callback mode; in general mode this is set to NULL. Callbacks
+     are called by the stream parser (the callbacks are listed below).
+
+void strp_pause(struct strparser *strp)
+
+     Temporarily pause a stream parser. Message parsing is suspended
+     and no new messages are delivered to the upper layer.
+
+void strp_pause(struct strparser *strp)
+
+     Unpause a paused stream parser.
+
+void strp_stop(struct strparser *strp);
+
+     strp_stop is called to completely stop stream parser operations.
+     This is called internally when the stream parser encounters an
+     error, and it is called from the upper layer to stop parsing
+     operations.
+
+void strp_done(struct strparser *strp);
+
+     strp_done is called to release any resources held by the stream
+     parser instance. This must be called after the stream processor
+     has been stopped.
+
+int strp_process(struct strparser *strp, struct sk_buff *orig_skb,
+		 unsigned int orig_offset, size_t orig_len,
+		 size_t max_msg_size, long timeo)
+
+    strp_process is called in general mode for a stream parser to
+    parse an sk_buff. The number of bytes processed or a negative
+    error number is returned. Note that strp_process does not
+    consume the sk_buff. max_msg_size is maximum size the stream
+    parser will parse. timeo is timeout for completing a message.
+
+void strp_data_ready(struct strparser *strp);
+
+    The upper layer calls strp_tcp_data_ready when data is ready on
+    the lower socket for strparser to process. This should be called
+    from a data_ready callback that is set on the socket. Note that
+    maximum messages size is the limit of the receive socket
+    buffer and message timeout is the receive timeout for the socket.
+
+void strp_check_rcv(struct strparser *strp);
+
+    strp_check_rcv is called to check for new messages on the socket.
+    This is normally called at initialization of a stream parser
+    instance or after strp_unpause.
 
 Callbacks

+    The lock callback is called to lock the strp structure when

+void (*unlock)(struct strparser *strp)

 void (*rcv_msg)(struct strparser *strp, struct sk_buff *skb);
 
     rcv_msg is called when a full message has been received and

-Functions
----------
+Statistics
+==========
 
-The upper layer calls strp_tcp_data_ready when data is ready on the lower
-socket for strparser to process. This should be called from a data_ready
-callback that is set on the socket.
+Various counters are kept for each stream parser instance. These are in
+the strp_stats structure. strp_aggr_stats is a convenience structure for
+accumulating statistics for multiple stream parser instances.
+save_strp_stats and aggregate_strp_stats are helper functions to save
+and aggregate statistics.
 
-strp_stop is called to completely stop stream parser operations. This
-is called internally when the stream parser encounters an error, and
-it is called from the upper layer when unattaching a TCP socket.
+Message assembly limits
+=======================
 
-strp_done is called to unattach the stream parser from the TCP socket.
-This must be called after the stream processor has be stopped.
+The stream parser provide mechanisms to limit the resources consumed by
+message assembly.
 
-strp_check_rcv is called to check for new messages on the socket. This
-is normally called at initialization of the a stream parser instance
-of after strp_unpause.
+A timer is set when assembly starts for a new message. In receive
+callback mode the message timeout is taken from rcvtime for the
+associated TCP socket. In general mode, the timeout is passed as an
+argument in strp_process. If the timer fires before assembly completes
+the stream parser is aborted and the ETIMEDOUT error is set on the TCP
+socket if in receive callback mode.
 
-Statistics
-----------
+In receive callback mode, message length is limited to the receive
+buffer size of the associated TCP socket. If the length returned by
+parse_msg is greater than the socket buffer size then the stream parser
+is aborted with EMSGSIZE error set on the TCP socket. Note that this
+makes the maximum size of receive skbuffs for a socket with a stream
+parser to be 2*sk_rcvbuf of the TCP socket.
