We have the following call chain:
tipc_core_start()
ret = tipc_subscr_start()
ret = tipc_server_start(){
server->enabled = 1;
ret = tipc_open_listening_sock()
}
I.e., the server->enabled flag is unconditionally set to 1, whatever
the return value of tipc_open_listening_sock().
This causes a crash when tipc_core_start() tries to clean up
resources after a failed initialization:
if (ret == failed)
tipc_subscr_stop()
tipc_server_stop(){
if (server->enabled)
tipc_close_conn(){
NULL reference of con->sock-sk
OOPS!
}
}
To avoid this, tipc_server_start() should only set server->enabled
to 1 in case of a succesful socket creation. In case of failure, it
should release all allocated resources before returning.
Problem introduced in commit c5fa7b3cf3cb22e4ac60485fc2dc187fe012910f
("tipc: introduce new TIPC server infrastructure") in v3.11-rc1.
Note that it won't be seen often; it takes a module load under memory
constrained conditions in order to trigger the failure condition.

Based on a similar changeset in commit 840a185d ["aoe: remove
dev_base_lock use from aoecmd_cfg_pkts()"] -- quoting that:
"dev_base_lock is the legacy way to lock the device list,
and is planned to disappear. (writers hold RTNL, readers

pfifo_fast is set as default traffic class queueing discipline. This
queue has three so called "bands". Within each band, FIFO rules apply.
However, as long as there are packets waiting in band 0, band 1 won't
be processed.
Now all kind of TIPC type packet priorities are never set, that is,
their priorities are 0, so they are mapped to band 1 of pfifo_fast
qdisc. But, especially during link congestion, if link protocol packet
can be sent out as earlier as possible than other type of packets so
that protocol packet can arrive at peer endpoint in time, the peer
will timely reset its link timeout timer to keep the link alive.
So enhancing the priority of link protocol packets can meet the
specific demand to avoid unnecessary link reset due to a transient
link congestion.

As the configuration server is now running under process context,
it's unnecessary for us to have a spinlock serializing the TIPC
configuration process. Instead, we replace it with a mutex lock,
which gives us more freedom. For instance, we can now call
pre-emptable functions within the protected area.

After the native API has been completely removed, the 'user_port'
field in struct tipc_port becomes unused, and can be removed.
As a consequence, the "usrmem" argument in tipc_msg_build() is no
longer needed, and so we remove that one too.

As the new socket-based TIPC server infrastructure has been
introduced, we can now convert the configuration server to use
it. Then we can take future steps to simplify the configuration
server locking policy.
Some minor reordering of initialization is done, due to the
dependency on having tipc_socket_init completed.

As the new TIPC server infrastructure has been introduced, we can
now convert the TIPC topology server to it. We get two benefits
from doing this:
1) It simplifies the topology server locking policy. In the
original locking policy, we placed one spin lock pointer in the
tipc_subscriber structure to reuse the lock of the subscriber's
server port, controlling access to members of tipc_subscriber
instance. That is, we only used one lock to ensure both
tipc_port and tipc_subscriber members were safely accessed.
Now we introduce another spin lock for tipc_subscriber structure
only protecting themselves, to get a finer granularity locking
policy. Moreover, the change will allow us to make the topology
server code more readable and maintainable.
2) It fixes a bug where sent subscription events may be lost when
the topology port is congested. Using the new service, the
topology server now queues sent events into an outgoing buffer,
and then wakes up a sender process which has been blocked in
workqueue context. The process will keep picking events from the
buffer and send them to their respective subscribers, using the
kernel socket interface, until the buffer is empty. Even if the
socket is congested during transmission there is no risk that
events may be dropped, since the sender process may block when
needed.
Some minor reordering of initialization is done, since we now
have a scenario where the topology server must be started after
socket initialization has taken place, as the former depends
on the latter. And overall, we see a simplification of the
TIPC subscriber code in making this changeover.

TIPC has two internal servers, one providing a subscription
service for topology events, and another providing the
configuration interface. These servers have previously been running
in BH context, accessing the TIPC-port (aka native) API directly.
Apart from these servers, even the TIPC socket implementation is
partially built on this API.
As this API may simultaneously be called via different paths and in
different contexts, a complex and costly lock policiy is required
in order to protect TIPC internal resources.
To eliminate the need for this complex lock policiy, we introduce
a new, generic service API that uses kernel sockets for message
passing instead of the native API. Once the toplogy and configuration
servers are converted to use this new service, all code pertaining
to the native API can be removed. This entails a significant
reduction in code amount and complexity, and opens up for a complete
rework of the locking policy in TIPC.
The new service also solves another problem:
As the current topology server works in BH context, it cannot easily
be blocked when sending of events fails due to congestion. In such
cases events may have to be silently dropped, something that is
unacceptable. Therefore, the new service keeps a dedicated outbound
queue receiving messages from BH context. Once messages are
inserted into this queue, we will immediately schedule a work from a
special workqueue. This way, messages/events from the topology server
are in reality sent in process context, and the server can block
if necessary.
Analogously, there is a new workqueue for receiving messages. Once a
notification about an arriving message is received in BH context, we
schedule a work from the receive workqueue to do the job of
receiving the message in process context.
As both sending and receive messages are now finished in processes,
subscribed events cannot be dropped any more.
As of this commit, this new server infrastructure is built, but
not actually yet called by the existing TIPC code, but since the
conversion changes required in order to use it are significant,
the addition is kept here as a separate commit.

TIPC's implied connect feature, aka piggyback connect, allows
applications to save one syscall and all SYN/SYN-ACK signalling
overhead when setting up a connection. Until now, this has only
been supported for SEQPACKET sockets. Here, we make it possible
to use this feature even with stream sockets.
At the connecting side, the connection is completed when the
first data message arrives from the accepting peer. This means
that we must allow the connecting user to call blocking recv()
before the socket has reached state SS_CONNECTED. So we must must
relax the state machine check at recv_stream(), and allow the
recv() call even if socket is in state SS_CONNECTING.

As per feedback from the netdev community, we change the buffer
overflow protection algorithm in receiving sockets so that it
always respects the nominal upper limit set in sk_rcvbuf.
Instead of scaling up from a small sk_rcvbuf value, which leads to
violation of the configured sk_rcvbuf limit, we now calculate the
weighted per-message limit by scaling down from a much bigger value,
still in the same field, according to the importance priority of the
received message.
To allow for administrative tunability of the socket receive buffer
size, we create a tipc_rmem sysctl variable to allow the user to
configure an even bigger value via sysctl command. It is a size of
three (min/default/max) to be consistent with things like tcp_rmem.
By default, the value initialized in tipc_rmem[1] is equal to the
receive socket size needed by a TIPC_CRITICAL_IMPORTANCE message.
This value is also set as the default value of sk_rcvbuf.

When sending packets, TIPC bearers use skb_clone() before writing their
hardware header. This will however NOT copy the data buffer.
So when the same packet is sent over multiple bearers (to reach multiple
nodes), the same socket buffer data will be treated by multiple
tipc_media drivers which will write their own hardware header through
dev_hard_header().
Most of the time this is not a problem, because by the time the
packet is processed by the second media, it has already been sent over
the first one. However, when the first transmission is delayed (e.g.
because of insufficient bandwidth or through a shaper), the next bearer
will overwrite the hardware header, resulting in the packet being sent:
a) with the wrong source address, when bearers of the same type,
e.g. ethernet, are involved
b) with a completely corrupt header, or even dropped, when bearers of
different types are involved.
So when the same socket buffer is to be sent multiple times, send a
pskb_copy() instead (from the second instance on), and release it
afterwards (the bearer will skb_clone() it anyway).

Add InfiniBand media type based on the ethernet media type.
The only real difference is that in case of InfiniBand, we need the entire
20 bytes of space reserved for media addresses, so the TIPC media type ID is
not explicitly stored in the packet payload.

Some network protocols, like InfiniBand, don't have a fixed broadcast
address but one that depends on the configuration. Move the bcast_addr
to struct tipc_bearer and initialize it with the broadcast address of
the network device when the bearer is enabled.

The code in set_orig_addr() does not initialize all of the members of
struct sockaddr_tipc when filling the sockaddr info -- namely the union
is only partly filled. This will make recv_msg() and recv_stream() --
the only users of this function -- leak kernel stack memory as the
msg_name member is a local variable in net/socket.c.
Additionally to that both recv_msg() and recv_stream() fail to update
the msg_namelen member to 0 while otherwise returning with 0, i.e.
"success". This is the case for, e.g., non-blocking sockets. This will
lead to a 128 byte kernel stack leak in net/socket.c.
Fix the first issue by initializing the memory of the union with
memset(0). Fix the second one by setting msg_namelen to 0 early as it
will be updated later if we're going to fill the msg_name member.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

After commit 3c294cb3 "tipc: remove the bearer congestion mechanism",
we try to grab the broadcast bearer lock when sending multicast
messages over the broadcast link. This will cause an oops because
the lock is never initialized. This is an old bug, but the lock
was never actually used before commit 3c294cb3, so that why it was
not visible until now. The oops will look something like:

Change overload control to be purely byte-based, using
sk->sk_rmem_alloc as byte counter, and compare it to a calculated
upper limit for the socket receive queue.
For all connection messages, irrespective of message importance,
the overload limit is set to a constant value (i.e, 67MB). This
limit should normally never be reached because of the lower
limit used by the flow control algorithm, and is there only
as a last resort in case a faulty peer doesn't respect the send
window limit.
For datagram messages, message importance is taken into account
when calculating the overload limit. The calculation is based
on sk->sk_rcvbuf, and is hence configurable via the socket option
SO_RCVBUF.

The tipc function discard_rx_queue() is just a duplicated
implementation of __skb_queue_purge(). Remove the former
and directly invoke __skb_queue_purge().
In doing so, the underscores convey to the code reader, more

In TIPC's accept() routine, there is a large block of code relating
to initialization of a new socket, all within an if condition checking
if the allocation succeeded.
Here, we simply flip the check of the if, so that the main execution
path stays at the same indentation level, which improves readability.
If the allocation fails, we jump to an already existing exit label.

TIPC accept() call grabs the socket lock on a newly allocated
socket while holding the socket lock on an old socket. But lockdep
worries that this might be a recursive lock attempt:
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
---------------------------------------------
kworker/u:0/6 is trying to acquire lock:
(sk_lock-AF_TIPC){+.+.+.}, at: [<c8c1226c>] accept+0x15c/0x310 [tipc]
but task is already holding lock:
(sk_lock-AF_TIPC){+.+.+.}, at: [<c8c12138>] accept+0x28/0x310 [tipc]
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(sk_lock-AF_TIPC);
lock(sk_lock-AF_TIPC);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
[...]
Tell lockdep that this locking is safe by using lock_sock_nested().
This is similar to what was done in commit 5131a184a3458d9 for
SCTP code ("SCTP: lock_sock_nested in sctp_sock_migrate").
Also note that this is isn't something that is seen normally,
as it was uncovered with some experimental work-in-progress
code not yet ready for mainline. So no need for stable
backports or similar of this commit.

TIPC has so far only supported blocking connect(), meaning that a call
to connect() doesn't return until either the connection is fully
established, or an error occurs. This has proved insufficient for many
users, so we now introduce non-blocking connect(), analogous to how
this is done in TCP and other protocols.
With this feature, if a connection cannot be established instantly,
connect() will return the error code "-EINPROGRESS".
If the user later calls connect() again, he will either have the
return code "-EALREADY" or "-EISCONN", depending on whether the
connection has been established or not.
The user must have explicitly set the socket to be non-blocking
(SOCK_NONBLOCK or O_NONBLOCK, depending on method used), so unless
for some reason they had set this already (the socket would anyway
remain blocking in current TIPC) this change should be completely
backwards compatible.
It is also now possible to call select() or poll() to wait for the
completion of a connection.
An effect of the above is that the actual completion of a connection
may now be performed asynchronously, independent of the calls from
user space. Therefore, we now execute this code in BH context, in
the function filter_rcv(), which is executed upon reception of
messages in the socket.

Handling of connection-related message reception is currently scattered
around at different places in the code. This makes it harder to verify
that things are handled correctly in all possible scenarios.
So we consolidate the existing processing of connection-oriented
message reception in a single routine. In the process, we convert the
chain of if/else into a switch/case for improved readability.
A cast on the socket_state in the switch is needed to avoid compile
warnings on 32 bit, like "net/tipc/socket.c:1252:2: warning: case value
‘4294967295’ not in enumerated type". This happens because existing
tipc code pseudo extends the default linux socket state values with:
#define SS_LISTENING -1 /* socket is listening */
#define SS_READY -2 /* socket is connectionless */
It may make sense to add these as _positive_ values to the existing
socket state enum list someday, vs. these already existing defines.

Currently we have tipc_disconnect and tipc_disconnect_port. It is
not clear from the names alone, what they do or how they differ.
It turns out that tipc_disconnect just deals with the port locking
and then calls tipc_disconnect_port which does all the work.
If we rename as follows: tipc_disconnect_port --> __tipc_disconnect
then we will be following typical linux convention, where:
__tipc_disconnect: "raw" function that does all the work.
tipc_disconnect: wrapper that deals with locking and then calls
the real core __tipc_disconnect function
With this, the difference is immediately evident, and locking
violations are more apt to be spotted by chance while working on,
or even just while reading the code.
On the connect side of things, we currently only have the single
"tipc_connect2port" function. It does both the locking at enter/exit,
and the core of the work. Pending changes will make it desireable to
have the connect be a two part locking wrapper + worker function,
just like the disconnect is already.
Here, we make the connect look just like the updated disconnect case,
for the above reason, and for consistency. In the process, we also
get rid of the "2port" suffix that was on the original name, since
it adds no descriptive value.
On close examination, one might notice that the above connect
changes implicitly move the call to tipc_link_get_max_pkt() to be
within the scope of tipc_port_lock() protected region; when it was
not previously. We don't see any issues with this, and it is in
keeping with __tipc_connect doing the work and tipc_connect just
handling the locking.

The sk_recv_queue upper limit for connectionless sockets has empirically
turned out to be too low. When we double the current limit we get much
fewer rejected messages and no noticable negative side-effects.

As a complement to the per-socket sk_recv_queue limit, TIPC keeps a
global atomic counter for the sum of sk_recv_queue sizes across all
tipc sockets. When incremented, the counter is compared to an upper
threshold value, and if this is reached, the message is rejected
with error code TIPC_OVERLOAD.
This check was originally meant to protect the node against
buffer exhaustion and general CPU overload. However, all experience
indicates that the feature not only is redundant on Linux, but even
harmful. Users run into the limit very often, causing disturbances
for their applications, while removing it seems to have no negative
effects at all. We have also seen that overall performance is
boosted significantly when this bottleneck is removed.
Furthermore, we don't see any other network protocols maintaining
such a mechanism, something strengthening our conviction that this
control can be eliminated.
As a result, the atomic variable tipc_queue_size is now unused
and so it can be deleted. There is a getsockopt call that used
to allow reading it; we retain that but just return zero for
maximum compatibility.

Each link instance has a periodic job checking if there is a stale
ongoing message reassembly associated to the link. If no new
fragment has been received during the last 4*[link_tolerance] period,
it is assumed the missing fragment will never arrive. As a consequence,
the reassembly buffer is discarded, and a gap in the message sequence
occurs.
This assumption is wrong. After we abandoned our ambition to develop
packet routing for multi-cluster networks, only single-hop packet
transfer remains as an option. For those, all packets are guaranteed
to be delivered in sequence to the defragmentation layer. Any failure
to achieve sequenced delivery will eventually lead to link reset, and
the reassembly buffer will be flushed anyway.
So we just remove this periodic check, which is now obsolete.

There used to be a time when TIPC had lots of Kconfig knobs the
end user could alter, but they have all been made automatic or
obsolete, with the exception of CONFIG_TIPC_PORTS. This
previously existing set of options was all hidden under the
TIPC_ADVANCED setting, which does not exist in any code, but
only in Kconfig scope.
Having this now, just to hide the one remaining "advanced"
option no longer makes sense. Remove it. Also get rid of the
ifdeffery in the TIPC code that allowed for TIPC_PORTS to be
possibly undefined.

Upon establishing a first link between two nodes, there is
currently a risk that the two endpoints will disagree on exactly
which sequence number reception and acknowleding of broadcast
packets should start.
The following scenarios may happen:
1: Node A sends an ACTIVATE message to B, telling it to start acking
packets from sequence number N.
2: Node A sends out broadcast N, but does not expect an acknowledge
from B, since B is not yet in its broadcast receiver's list.
3: Node A receives ACK for N from all nodes except B, and releases
packet N.
4: Node B receives the ACTIVATE, activates its link endpoint, and
stores the value N as sequence number of first expected packet.
5: Node B sends a NAME_DISTR message to A.
6: Node A receives the NAME_DISTR message, and activates its endpoint.
At this moment B is added to A's broadcast receiver's set.
Node A also sets sequence number 0 as the first broadcast packet
to be received from B.
7: Node A sends broadcast N+1.
8: B receives N+1, determines there is a gap in the sequence, since
it is expecting N, and sends a NACK for N back to A.
9: Node A has already released N, so no retransmission is possible.
The broadcast link in direction A->B is stale.
In addition to, or instead of, 7-9 above, the following may happen:
10: Node B sends broadcast M > 0 to A.
11: Node A receives M, falsely decides there must be a gap, since
it is expecting packet 0, and asks for retransmission of packets
[0,M-1].
12: Node B has already released these packets, so the broadcast
link is stale in direction B->A.
We solve this problem by introducing a new unicast message type,
BCAST_PROTOCOL/STATE, to convey the sequence number of the next
sent broadcast packet to the other endpoint, at exactly the moment
that endpoint is added to the own node's broadcast receivers list,
and before any other unicast messages are permitted to be sent.
Furthermore, we don't allow any node to start receiving and
processing broadcast packets until this new synchronization
message has been received.
To maintain backwards compatibility, we still open up for
broadcast reception if we receive a NAME_DISTR message without
any preceding broadcast sync message. In this case, we must
assume that the other end has an older code version, and will
never send out the new synchronization message. Hence, for mixed
old and new nodes, the issue arising in 7-12 of the above may
happen with the same probability as before.
