For device memory TCP, we expect the skb headers to be available in host
memory for access, and we expect the skb frags to be in device memory
and unaccessible to the host. We expect there to be no mixing and
matching of device memory frags (unaccessible) with host memory frags
(accessible) in the same skb.
Add a skb->devmem flag which indicates whether the frags in this skb
are device memory frags or not.
__skb_fill_netmem_desc() now checks frags added to skbs for net_iov,
and marks the skb as skb->devmem accordingly.
Add checks through the network stack to avoid accessing the frags of
devmem skbs and avoid coalescing devmem skbs with non devmem skbs.

The issue initially stems from libpcap. The ethertype will be overwritten
as the VLAN TPID if the network interface lacks hardware VLAN offloading.
In the outbound packet path, if hardware VLAN offloading is unavailable,
the VLAN tag is inserted into the payload but then cleared from the sk_buff
struct. Consequently, this can lead to a false negative when checking for
the presence of a VLAN tag, causing the packet sniffing outcome to lack
VLAN tag information (i.e., TCI-TPID). As a result, the packet capturing
tool may be unable to parse packets as expected.
The TCI-TPID is missing because the prb_fill_vlan_info() function does not
modify the tp_vlan_tci/tp_vlan_tpid values, as the information is in the
payload and not in the sk_buff struct. The skb_vlan_tag_present() function
only checks vlan_all in the sk_buff struct. In cooked mode, the L2 header
is stripped, preventing the packet capturing tool from determining the
correct TCI-TPID value. Additionally, the protocol in SLL is incorrect,
which means the packet capturing tool cannot parse the L3 header correctly.

This reverts commit 885c36e59f.
The patch currently broke the bpf selftest test_tc_dtime because
uapi field __sk_buff->tstamp_type depends on skb->mono_delivery_time which
does not necessarily mean mono with the original fix as the bit was re-used
for userspace timestamp as well to avoid tstamp reset in the forwarding
path. To solve this we need to keep mono_delivery_time as is and
introduce another bit called user_delivery_time and fall back to the
initial proposal of setting the user_delivery_time bit based on
sk_clockid set from userspace.

In some potential instances the reference count on struct packet_sock
could be saturated and cause overflows which gets the kernel a bit
confused. To prevent this, move to a 64-bit atomic reference count on
64-bit architectures to prevent the possibility of this type to overflow.
Because we can not handle saturation, using refcount_t is not possible
in this place. Maybe someday in the future if it changes it could be
used. Also, instead of using plain atomic64_t, use atomic_long_t instead.
32-bit machines tend to be memory-limited (i.e. anything that increases
a reference uses so much memory that you can't actually get to 2**32
references). 32-bit architectures also tend to have serious problems
with 64-bit atomics. Hence, atomic_long_t is the more natural solution.

Packet sockets, like tap, can be used as the backend for kernel vhost.
In packet sockets, virtio net header size is currently hardcoded to be
the size of struct virtio_net_hdr, which is 10 bytes; however, it is not
always the case: some virtio features, such as mrg_rxbuf, need virtio
net header to be 12-byte long.
Mergeable buffers, as a virtio feature, is worthy of supporting: packets
that are larger than one-mbuf size will be dropped in vhost worker's
handle_rx if mrg_rxbuf feature is not used, but large packets
cannot be avoided and increasing mbuf's size is not economical.
With this virtio feature enabled by virtio-user, packet sockets with
hardcoded 10-byte virtio net header will parse mac head incorrectly in
packet_snd by taking the last two bytes of virtio net header as part of
mac header.
This incorrect mac header parsing will cause packet to be dropped due to
invalid ether head checking in later under-layer device packet receiving.
By adding extra field vnet_hdr_sz with utilizing holes in struct
packet_sock to record currently used virtio net header size and supporting
extra sockopt PACKET_VNET_HDR_SZ to set specified vnet_hdr_sz, packet
sockets can know the exact length of virtio net header that virtio user
gives.
In packet_snd, tpacket_snd and packet_recvmsg, instead of using
hardcoded virtio net header size, it can get the exact vnet_hdr_sz from
corresponding packet_sock, and parse mac header correctly based on this
information to avoid the packets being mistakenly dropped.

Currently, MAX_SKB_FRAGS value is 17.
For standard tcp sendmsg() traffic, no big deal because tcp_sendmsg()
attempts order-3 allocations, stuffing 32768 bytes per frag.
But with zero copy, we use order-0 pages.
For BIG TCP to show its full potential, we add a config option
to be able to fit up to 45 segments per skb.
This is also needed for BIG TCP rx zerocopy, as zerocopy currently
does not support skbs with frag list.
We have used MAX_SKB_FRAGS=45 value for years at Google before
we deployed 4K MTU, with no adverse effect, other than
a recent issue in mlx4, fixed in commit 26782aad00
("net/mlx4: MLX4_TX_BOUNCE_BUFFER_SIZE depends on MAX_SKB_FRAGS")
Back then, goal was to be able to receive full size (64KB) GRO
packets without the frag_list overhead.
Note that /proc/sys/net/core/max_skb_frags can also be used to limit
the number of fragments TCP can use in tx packets.
By default we keep the old/legacy value of 17 until we get
more coverage for the updated values.
Sizes of struct skb_shared_info on 64bit arches
MAX_SKB_FRAGS | sizeof(struct skb_shared_info):
==============================================
17 320
21 320+64 = 384
25 320+128 = 448
29 320+192 = 512
33 320+256 = 576
37 320+320 = 640
41 320+384 = 704
45 320+448 = 768
This inflation might cause problems for drivers assuming they could pack
both the incoming packet (for MTU=1500) and skb_shared_info in half a page,
using build_skb().

Commit e48c414ee6 ("[INET]: Generalise the TCP sock ID lookup routines")
commented out the definition of SOCK_REFCNT_DEBUG in 2005 and later another
commit 463c84b97f ("[NET]: Introduce inet_connection_sock") removed it.
Since we could track all of them through bpf and kprobe related tools
and the feature could print loads of information which might not be
that helpful even under a little bit pressure, the whole feature which
has been inactive for many years is no longer supported.

Merge tag 'random-6.2-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random
Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
- Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it,
there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection
sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an
interval:
get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil)
get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX]
get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil]
Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of
prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in
improvements throughout the tree.
I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused
prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new
use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next,
there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions
that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final
conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the
second week.
This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout.
- More consistent use of get_random_canary().
- Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and
simplification in configuration.
- The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and
wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works
in all relevant contexts.
- The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI
variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is
initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to
prevent accidental leakage.
These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the
EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of
EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full
functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter.
- Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for
an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key,
replacing an sleep loop wart.
- The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c
input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes
going through helpers better suited for other cases.
- The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork
handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't
used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy.
But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed
in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy
gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call
to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter,
without the absent latent entropy variable.
- The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand
when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the
CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to
do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs
more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term
transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming
vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2).
- The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different
CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies
and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter
when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the
main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer
firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache
line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will
cause latencies.
