* | tipc: eliminate risk of double link_up eventsJon Paul Maloy2016-05-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an ACTIVATE or data packet is received in a link in state ESTABLISHING, the link does not immediately change state to ESTABLISHED, but does instead return a LINK_UP event to the caller, which will execute the state change in a different lock context. This non-atomic approach incurs a low risk that we may have two LINK_UP events pending simultaneously for the same link, resulting in the final part of the setup procedure being executed twice. The only potential harm caused by this it that we may see two LINK_UP events issued to subsribers of the topology server, something that may cause confusion. This commit eliminates this risk by checking if the link is already up before proceeding with the second half of the setup. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This is traced to nodes having their ack field set beyond the sequence number of packets that have actually been transmitted to them. Consider an example where node 1 has sent 10 packets to node 2 on a link and node 3 has sent 20 packets to node 2 on another link. We see examples of an ack from node 2 destined for node 3 being treated as an ack from node 2 at node 1. This leads to the ack on the node 1 to node 2 link being increased to 20 even though we have only sent 10 packets. When node 1 does get around to sending further packets, none of the packets with sequence numbers less than 21 are actually removed from the transmq. To resolve this we reinstate some code lost in commit d999297c3dbb ("tipc: reduce locking scope during packet reception") which ensures that only messages destined for the receiving node are processed by that node. This prevents the sequence numbers from getting out of sync and resolves the packet leakage, thereby resolving the broadcast-link transmission lock-ups we observed. While we are aware that this change only patches over a root problem that we still haven't identified, this is a sanity test that it is always legitimate to do. It will remain in the code even after we identify and fix the real problem.

* | | tipc: redesign connection-level flow controlJon Paul Maloy2016-05-035-62/+122
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two flow control mechanisms in TIPC; one at link level that handles network congestion, burst control, and retransmission, and one at connection level which' only remaining task is to prevent overflow in the receiving socket buffer. In TIPC, the latter task has to be solved end-to-end because messages can not be thrown away once they have been accepted and delivered upwards from the link layer, i.e, we can never permit the receive buffer to overflow. Currently, this algorithm is message based. A counter in the receiving socket keeps track of number of consumed messages, and sends a dedicated acknowledge message back to the sender for each 256 consumed message. A counter at the sending end keeps track of the sent, not yet acknowledged messages, and blocks the sender if this number ever reaches 512 unacknowledged messages. When the missing acknowledge arrives, the socket is then woken up for renewed transmission. This works well for keeping the message flow running, as it almost never happens that a sender socket is blocked this way. A problem with the current mechanism is that it potentially is very memory consuming. Since we don't distinguish between small and large messages, we have to dimension the socket receive buffer according to a worst-case of both. I.e., the window size must be chosen large enough to sustain a reasonable throughput even for the smallest messages, while we must still consider a scenario where all messages are of maximum size. Hence, the current fix window size of 512 messages and a maximum message size of 66k results in a receive buffer of 66 MB when truesize(66k) = 131k is taken into account. It is possible to do much better. This commit introduces an algorithm where we instead use 1024-byte blocks as base unit. This unit, always rounded upwards from the actual message size, is used when we advertise windows as well as when we count and acknowledge transmitted data. The advertised window is based on the configured receive buffer size in such a way that even the worst-case truesize/msgsize ratio always is covered. Since the smallest possible message size (from a flow control viewpoint) now is 1024 bytes, we can safely assume this ratio to be less than four, which is the value we are now using. This way, we have been able to reduce the default receive buffer size from 66 MB to 2 MB with maintained performance. In order to keep this solution backwards compatible, we introduce a new capability bit in the discovery protocol, and use this throughout the message sending/reception path to always select the right unit.

Until now, this has gone unnoticed because of the large receive buffer limits we are applying, but becomes indispensable when we reduce this buffer limit later in this series.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to the link FSM, a received traffic packet can take a link from state ESTABLISHING to ESTABLISHED, but the link can still not be fully set up in one atomic operation. This means that even if the the very first packet on the link is a traffic packet with sequence number 1 (one), it has to be dropped and retransmitted. This can be avoided if we let the mentioned packet be preceded by a LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE message, which takes up the endpoint before the arrival of the traffic. We add this small feature in this commit. This is a fully compatible change. Acked-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | tipc: reduce transmission rate of reset messages when link is downJon Paul Maloy2016-04-151-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a link is down, it will continuously try to re-establish contact with the peer by sending out a RESET or an ACTIVATE message at each timeout interval. The default value for this interval is currently 375 ms. This is wasteful, and may become a problem in very large clusters with dozens or hundreds of nodes being down simultaneously. We now introduce a simple backoff algorithm for these cases. The first five messages are sent at default rate; thereafter a message is sent only each 16th timer interval. This will cover the vast majority of link recycling cases, since the endpoint starting last will transmit at the higher speed, and the link should normally be established well be before the rate needs to be reduced. The only case where we will see a degradation of link re-establishment times is when the endpoints remain intact, and a glitch in the transmission media is causing the link reset. We will then experience a worst-case re-establishing time of 6 seconds, something we deem acceptable.

* | tipc: guarantee peer bearer id exchange after rebootJon Paul Maloy2016-04-152-1/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a link endpoint is going down locally, e.g., because its interface is being stopped, it will spontaneously send out a RESET message to its peer, informing it about this fact. This saves the peer from detecting the failure via probing, and hence gives both speedier and less resource consuming failure detection on the peer side. According to the link FSM, a receiver of a RESET message, ignoring the reason for it, must now consider the sender ready to come back up, and starts periodically sending out ACTIVATE messages to the peer in order to re-establish the link. Also, according to the FSM, the receiver of an ACTIVATE message can now go directly to state ESTABLISHED and start sending regular traffic packets. This is a well-proven and robust FSM. However, in the case of a reboot, there is a small possibilty that link endpoint on the rebooted node may have been re-created with a new bearer identity between the moment it sent its (pre-boot) RESET and the moment it receives the ACTIVATE from the peer. The new bearer identity cannot be known by the peer according to this scenario, since traffic headers don't convey such information. This is a problem, because both endpoints need to know the correct value of the peer's bearer id at any moment in time in order to be able to produce correct link events for their users. The only way to guarantee this is to enforce a full setup message exchange (RESET + ACTIVATE) even after the reboot, since those messages carry the bearer idientity in their header. In this commit we do this by introducing and setting a "stopping" bit in the header of the spontaneously generated RESET messages, informing the peer that the sender will not be immediately ready to re-establish the link. A receiver seeing this bit must act as if this were a locally detected connectivity failure, and hence has to go through a full two- way setup message exchange before any link can be re-established. Although never reported, this problem seems to have always been around. This protocol addition is fully backwards compatible.

These messages are processed by worker threads and trigger the registered callbacks. To reduce latency on uniprocessor systems, explicit rescheduling is performed using cond_resched() after MAX_RECV_MSG_COUNT(25) messages. This implementation on SMP systems leads to an subscriber refcnt error as described below: When a worker thread yields by calling cond_resched() in a SMP system, a new worker is created on another CPU to process the pending workitem. Sometimes the sleeping thread wakes up before the new thread finishes execution. This breaks the assumption on ordering and being single threaded. The fault is more frequent when MAX_RECV_MSG_COUNT is lowered. If the first thread was processing subscription create and the second thread processing close(), the close request will free the subscriber and the create request oops as follows: [31.224137] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 266 at include/linux/kref.h:46 tipc_subscrb_rcv_cb+0x317/0x380 [tipc] [31.228143] CPU: 2 PID: 266 Comm: kworker/u8:1 Not tainted 4.5.0+ #97 [31.228377] Workqueue: tipc_rcv tipc_recv_work [tipc] [...] [31.228377] Call Trace: [31.228377] [<ffffffff812fbb6b>] dump_stack+0x4d/0x72 [31.228377] [<ffffffff8105a311>] __warn+0xd1/0xf0 [31.228377] [<ffffffff8105a3fd>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20 [31.228377] [<ffffffffa0098067>] tipc_subscrb_rcv_cb+0x317/0x380 [tipc] [31.228377] [<ffffffffa00a4984>] tipc_receive_from_sock+0xd4/0x130 [tipc] [31.228377] [<ffffffffa00a439b>] tipc_recv_work+0x2b/0x50 [tipc] [31.228377] [<ffffffff81071925>] process_one_work+0x145/0x3d0 [31.246554] ---[ end trace c3882c9baa05a4fd ]--- [31.248327] BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#2, kworker/u8:1/266 [31.249119] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000428 [31.249323] IP: [<ffffffff81099d0c>] spin_dump+0x5c/0xe0 [31.249323] PGD 0 [31.249323] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP In this commit, we - rename tipc_conn_shutdown() to tipc_conn_release(). - move connection release callback execution from tipc_close_conn() to a new function tipc_sock_release(), which is executed before we free the connection.

* | tipc: stricter filtering of packets in bearer layerJon Paul Maloy2016-04-072-17/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Resetting a bearer/interface, with the consequence of resetting all its pertaining links, is not an atomic action. This becomes particularly evident in very large clusters, where a lot of traffic may happen on the remaining links while we are busy shutting them down. In extreme cases, we may even see links being re-created and re-established before we are finished with the job. To solve this, we now introduce a solution where we temporarily detach the bearer from the interface when the bearer is reset. This inhibits all packet reception, while sending still is possible. For the latter, we use the fact that the device's user pointer now is zero to filter out which packets can be sent during this situation; i.e., outgoing RESET messages only. This filtering serves to speed up the neighbors' detection of the loss event, and saves us from unnecessary probing.

* | tipc: eliminate buffer leak in bearer layerJon Paul Maloy2016-04-073-31/+29
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When enabling a bearer we create a 'neigbor discoverer' instance by calling the function tipc_disc_create() before the bearer is actually registered in the list of enabled bearers. Because of this, the very first discovery broadcast message, created by the mentioned function, is lost, since it cannot find any valid bearer to use. Furthermore, the used send function, tipc_bearer_xmit_skb() does not free the given buffer when it cannot find a bearer, resulting in the leak of exactly one send buffer each time a bearer is enabled. This commit fixes this problem by introducing two changes: 1) Instead of attemting to send the discovery message directly, we let tipc_disc_create() return the discovery buffer to the calling function, tipc_enable_bearer(), so that the latter can send it when the enabling sequence is finished. 2) In tipc_bearer_xmit_skb(), as well as in the two other transmit functions at the bearer layer, we now free the indicated buffer or buffer chain when a valid bearer cannot be found.

Currently, there's no such option and it's always set to zero when writing ip6_flow_hdr().

This is not true if the link is congested. During congestion, the socket lock is released while we wait for the congestion to cease. This implementation causes a nullptr exception, if the user space program has several threads accessing the same socket descriptor. Consider two threads of the same program performing the following: Thread1 Thread2 -------------------- ---------------------- Enter tipc_sendmsg() Enter tipc_sendmsg() lock_sock() lock_sock() Enter tipc_link_xmit(), ret=ELINKCONG spin on socket lock.. sk_wait_event() : release_sock() grab socket lock : Enter tipc_link_xmit(), ret=0 : release_sock() Wakeup after congestion lock_sock() skb = skb_peek(pktchain); !! TIPC_SKB_CB(skb)->wakeup_pending = tsk->link_cong; In this case, the second thread transmits the buffers belonging to both thread1 and thread2 successfully. When the first thread wakeup after the congestion it assumes that the pktchain is intact and operates on the skb's in it, which leads to the following exception: [2102.439969] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000d0 [2102.440074] IP: [<ffffffffa005f330>] __tipc_link_xmit+0x2b0/0x4d0 [tipc] [2102.440074] PGD 3fa3f067 PUD 3fa6b067 PMD 0 [2102.440074] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [2102.440074] CPU: 2 PID: 244 Comm: sender Not tainted 3.12.28 #1 [2102.440074] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa005f330>] [<ffffffffa005f330>] __tipc_link_xmit+0x2b0/0x4d0 [tipc] [...] [2102.440074] Call Trace: [2102.440074] [<ffffffff8163f0b9>] ? schedule+0x29/0x70 [2102.440074] [<ffffffffa006a756>] ? tipc_node_unlock+0x46/0x170 [tipc] [2102.440074] [<ffffffffa005f761>] tipc_link_xmit+0x51/0xf0 [tipc] [2102.440074] [<ffffffffa006d8ae>] tipc_send_stream+0x11e/0x4f0 [tipc] [2102.440074] [<ffffffff8106b150>] ? __wake_up_sync+0x20/0x20 [2102.440074] [<ffffffffa006dc9c>] tipc_send_packet+0x1c/0x20 [tipc] [2102.440074] [<ffffffff81502478>] sock_sendmsg+0xa8/0xd0 [2102.440074] [<ffffffff81507895>] ? release_sock+0x145/0x170 [2102.440074] [<ffffffff815030d8>] ___sys_sendmsg+0x3d8/0x3e0 [2102.440074] [<ffffffff816426ae>] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0xe/0x10 [2102.440074] [<ffffffff81115c2a>] ? handle_mm_fault+0x6ca/0x9d0 [2102.440074] [<ffffffff8107dd65>] ? set_next_entity+0x85/0xa0 [2102.440074] [<ffffffff816426de>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0xe/0x20 [2102.440074] [<ffffffff8107463c>] ? finish_task_switch+0x5c/0xc0 [2102.440074] [<ffffffff8163ea8c>] ? __schedule+0x34c/0x950 [2102.440074] [<ffffffff81504e12>] __sys_sendmsg+0x42/0x80 [2102.440074] [<ffffffff81504e62>] SyS_sendmsg+0x12/0x20 [2102.440074] [<ffffffff8164aed2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b In this commit, we maintain the skb list always in the stack.

In particular, we can replace all occurrences of the local function call link_own_addr(link) with the generic tipc_own_addr(net).

This leads to occasional crashes, especially in multi-namespace environments. The scenario goes as follows: CPU0:(node_stop) CPU1:(node_timeout) // ref == 2 1: if(!mod_timer()) 2: if (del_timer()) 3: tipc_node_put() // ref -> 1 4: tipc_node_put() // ref -> 0 5: kfree_rcu(node); 6: tipc_node_get(node) 7: // BOOM! We now clean up this functionality as follows: 1) We remove the node pointer from the node lookup table before we attempt deactivating the timer. This way, we reduce the risk that tipc_node_find() may obtain a valid pointer to an instance marked for deletion; a harmless but undesirable situation. 2) We use del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() to safely deactivate the node timer without any risk that it might be reactivated by the timeout handler. There is no risk of deadlock here, since the two functions never touch the same spinlocks. 3: We remove a pointless tipc_node_get() + tipc_node_put() from the timeout handler.

This link is created at the moment the node itself is created. Unfortunately, the allocation is done after the node instance has already been added to the node lookup hash table. This creates a potential race condition, where arriving broadcast packets are able to find and access the node before it has been fully initialized, and before the above mentioned link has been created. The result is occasional crashes in the function tipc_bcast_rcv(), which is trying to access the not-yet existing link. We fix this by deferring the addition of the node instance until after it has been fully initialized in the function tipc_node_create().

This asymmetric locking mechanism leads to the following problem: In a SMP system, the timer can be fire on another core before the create request is complete. When the timer thread calls tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe() before create thread calls tipc_nametbl_subscribe(), we get a nullptr exception. This can be simulated by creating subscription with timeout=0 and sometimes the timeout occurs before the create request is complete. The following is the oops: [57.569661] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) [57.577498] IP: [<ffffffffa02135aa>] tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe+0x8a/0x120 [tipc] [57.584820] PGD 0 [57.586834] Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP [57.685506] CPU: 14 PID: 10077 Comm: kworker/u40:1 Tainted: P OENX 3.12.48-52.27.1. 9688.1.PTF-default #1 [57.703637] Workqueue: tipc_rcv tipc_recv_work [tipc] [57.708697] task: ffff88064c7f00c0 ti: ffff880629ef4000 task.ti: ffff880629ef4000 [57.716181] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa02135aa>] [<ffffffffa02135aa>] tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe+0x8a/ 0x120 [tipc] [...] [57.812327] Call Trace: [57.814806] [<ffffffffa0211c77>] tipc_subscrp_delete+0x37/0x90 [tipc] [57.821357] [<ffffffffa0211e2f>] tipc_subscrp_timeout+0x3f/0x70 [tipc] [57.827982] [<ffffffff810618c1>] call_timer_fn+0x31/0x100 [57.833490] [<ffffffff81062709>] run_timer_softirq+0x1f9/0x2b0 [57.839414] [<ffffffff8105a795>] __do_softirq+0xe5/0x230 [57.844827] [<ffffffff81520d1c>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x30 [57.850150] [<ffffffff81004665>] do_softirq+0x55/0x90 [57.855285] [<ffffffff8105aa35>] irq_exit+0x95/0xa0 [57.860290] [<ffffffff815215b5>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x45/0x60 [57.866644] [<ffffffff8152005d>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x6d/0x80 [57.872686] [<ffffffffa02121c5>] tipc_subscrb_rcv_cb+0x2a5/0x3f0 [tipc] [57.879425] [<ffffffffa021c65f>] tipc_receive_from_sock+0x9f/0x100 [tipc] [57.886324] [<ffffffffa021c826>] tipc_recv_work+0x26/0x60 [tipc] [57.892463] [<ffffffff8106fb22>] process_one_work+0x172/0x420 [57.898309] [<ffffffff8107079a>] worker_thread+0x11a/0x3c0 [57.903871] [<ffffffff81077114>] kthread+0xb4/0xc0 [57.908751] [<ffffffff8151f318>] ret_from_fork+0x58/0x90 In this commit, we do the following at subscription creation: 1. set the subscription's subscriber pointer before performing tipc_nametbl_subscribe(), as this value is required further in the call chain ex: by tipc_subscrp_send_event(). 2. move tipc_nametbl_subscribe() under the scope of subscriber lock Acked-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Reviewed-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: Parthasarathy Bhuvaragan <parthasarathy.bhuvaragan@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
