167f7ac723 net: Convert unix_net_ops
These pernet_operations are just create and destroy
/proc and sysctl entries, and are not touched by
foreign pernet_operations.

So, we are able to make them async.

9b2c45d479 net: make getname() functions return length rather than use int* parameter
Changes since v1:
Added changes in these files:
    drivers/infiniband/hw/usnic/usnic_transport.c
    drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/lnet/lib-socket.c
    drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target_login.c
    drivers/vhost/net.c
    fs/dlm/lowcomms.c
    fs/ocfs2/cluster/tcp.c
    security/tomoyo/network.c

Before:
All these functions either return a negative error indicator,
or store length of sockaddr into "int *socklen" parameter
and return zero on success.

"int *socklen" parameter is awkward. For example, if caller does not
care, it still needs to provide on-stack storage for the value
it does not need.

None of the many FOO_getname() functions of various protocols
ever used old value of *socklen. They always just overwrite it.

This change drops this parameter, and makes all these functions, on success,
return length of sockaddr. It's always >= 0 and can be differentiated
from an error.

Tests in callers are changed from "if (err)" to "if (err < 0)", where needed.

rpc_sockname() lost "int buflen" parameter, since its only use was
to be passed to kernel_getsockname() as &buflen and subsequently
not used in any way.

Userspace API is not changed.

a9a08845e9 vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

96890d6252 net: delete /proc THIS_MODULE references
/proc has been ignoring struct file_operations::owner field for 10 years.
Specifically, it started with commit 786d7e1612
("Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries"). Notice the chunk where
inode->i_fop is initialized with proxy struct file_operations for
regular files:

	-               if (de->proc_fops)
	-                       inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops;
	+               if (de->proc_fops) {
	+                       if (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode))
	+                               inode->i_fop = &proc_reg_file_ops;
	+                       else
	+                               inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops;
	+               }

a0917e0bc6 datagram: When peeking datagrams with offset < 0 don't skip empty skbs
Due to commit e6afc8ace6 ("udp: remove
headers from UDP packets before queueing"), when udp packets are being
peeked the requested extra offset is always 0 as there is no need to skip
the udp header.  However, when the offset is 0 and the next skb is
of length 0, it is only returned once.  The behaviour can be seen with
the following python script:

from socket import *;
f=socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM | SOCK_NONBLOCK, 0);
g=socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM | SOCK_NONBLOCK, 0);
f.bind(('::', 0));
addr=('::1', f.getsockname()[1]);
g.sendto(b'', addr)
g.sendto(b'b', addr)
print(f.recvfrom(10, MSG_PEEK));
print(f.recvfrom(10, MSG_PEEK));

Where the expected output should be the empty string twice.

Instead, make sk_peek_offset return negative values, and pass those values
to __skb_try_recv_datagram/__skb_try_recv_from_queue.  If the passed offset
to __skb_try_recv_from_queue is negative, the checked skb is never skipped.
__skb_try_recv_from_queue will then ensure the offset is reset back to 0
if a peek is requested without an offset, unless no packets are found.

Also simplify the if condition in __skb_try_recv_from_queue.  If _off is
greater then 0, and off is greater then or equal to skb->len, then
(_off || skb->len) must always be true assuming skb->len >= 0 is always
true.

Also remove a redundant check around a call to sk_peek_offset in af_unix.c,
as it double checked if MSG_PEEK was set in the flags.

V2:
 - Moved the negative fixup into __skb_try_recv_from_queue, and remove now
redundant checks
 - Fix peeking in udp{,v6}_recvmsg to report the right value when the
offset is 0

V3:
 - Marked new branch in __skb_try_recv_from_queue as unlikely.

27eac47b00 net/unix: drop obsolete fd-recursion limits
All unix sockets now account inflight FDs to the respective sender.
This was introduced in:

    commit 712f4aad40
    Author: willy tarreau <w@1wt.eu>
    Date:   Sun Jan 10 07:54:56 2016 +0100

        unix: properly account for FDs passed over unix sockets

and further refined in:

    commit 415e3d3e90
    Author: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org>
    Date:   Wed Feb 3 02:11:03 2016 +0100

        unix: correctly track in-flight fds in sending process user_struct

Hence, regardless of the stacking depth of FDs, the total number of
inflight FDs is limited, and accounted. There is no known way for a
local user to exceed those limits or exploit the accounting.

Furthermore, the GC logic is independent of the recursion/stacking depth
as well. It solely depends on the total number of inflight FDs,
regardless of their layout.

Lastly, the current `recursion_level' suffers a TOCTOU race, since it
checks and inherits depths only at queue time. If we consider `A<-B' to
mean `queue-B-on-A', the following sequence circumvents the recursion
level easily:

    A<-B
       B<-C
          C<-D
             ...
               Y<-Z

resulting in:

    A<-B<-C<-...<-Z

With all of this in mind, lets drop the recursion limit. It has no
additional security value, anymore. On the contrary, it randomly
confuses message brokers that try to forward file-descriptors, since
any sendmsg(2) call can fail spuriously with ETOOMANYREFS if a client
maliciously modifies the FD while inflight.

ac6424b981 sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
Rename:

	wait_queue_t		=>	wait_queue_entry_t

'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.

Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.

This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

cdfbabfb2f net: Work around lockdep limitation in sockets that use sockets
Lockdep issues a circular dependency warning when AFS issues an operation
through AF_RXRPC from a context in which the VFS/VM holds the mmap_sem.

The theory lockdep comes up with is as follows:

 (1) If the pagefault handler decides it needs to read pages from AFS, it
     calls AFS with mmap_sem held and AFS begins an AF_RXRPC call, but
     creating a call requires the socket lock:

	mmap_sem must be taken before sk_lock-AF_RXRPC

 (2) afs_open_socket() opens an AF_RXRPC socket and binds it.  rxrpc_bind()
     binds the underlying UDP socket whilst holding its socket lock.
     inet_bind() takes its own socket lock:

	sk_lock-AF_RXRPC must be taken before sk_lock-AF_INET

 (3) Reading from a TCP socket into a userspace buffer might cause a fault
     and thus cause the kernel to take the mmap_sem, but the TCP socket is
     locked whilst doing this:

	sk_lock-AF_INET must be taken before mmap_sem

However, lockdep's theory is wrong in this instance because it deals only
with lock classes and not individual locks.  The AF_INET lock in (2) isn't
really equivalent to the AF_INET lock in (3) as the former deals with a
socket entirely internal to the kernel that never sees userspace.  This is
a limitation in the design of lockdep.

Fix the general case by:

 (1) Double up all the locking keys used in sockets so that one set are
     used if the socket is created by userspace and the other set is used
     if the socket is created by the kernel.

 (2) Store the kern parameter passed to sk_alloc() in a variable in the
     sock struct (sk_kern_sock).  This informs sock_lock_init(),
     sock_init_data() and sk_clone_lock() as to the lock keys to be used.

     Note that the child created by sk_clone_lock() inherits the parent's
     kern setting.

 (3) Add a 'kern' parameter to ->accept() that is analogous to the one
     passed in to ->create() that distinguishes whether kernel_accept() or
     sys_accept4() was the caller and can be passed to sk_alloc().

     Note that a lot of accept functions merely dequeue an already
     allocated socket.  I haven't touched these as the new socket already
     exists before we get the parameter.

     Note also that there are a couple of places where I've made the accepted
     socket unconditionally kernel-based:

	irda_accept()
	rds_rcp_accept_one()
	tcp_accept_from_sock()

     because they follow a sock_create_kern() and accept off of that.

Whilst creating this, I noticed that lustre and ocfs don't create sockets
through sock_create_kern() and thus they aren't marked as for-kernel,
though they appear to be internal.  I wonder if these should do that so
that they use the new set of lock keys.

ba94f3088b unix: add ioctl to open a unix socket file with O_PATH
This ioctl opens a file to which a socket is bound and
returns a file descriptor. The caller has to have CAP_NET_ADMIN
in the socket network namespace.

Currently it is impossible to get a path and a mount point
for a socket file. socket_diag reports address, device ID and inode
number for unix sockets. An address can contain a relative path or
a file may be moved somewhere. And these properties say nothing about
a mount namespace and a mount point of a socket file.

With the introduced ioctl, we can get a path by reading
/proc/self/fd/X and get mnt_id from /proc/self/fdinfo/X.

In CRIU we are going to use this ioctl to dump and restore unix socket.

Here is an example how it can be used:

$ strace -e socket,bind,ioctl ./test /tmp/test_sock
socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 3
bind(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="test_sock"}, 11) = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCUNIXFILE, 0)           = 4
^Z

$ ss -a | grep test_sock
u_str  LISTEN     0      1      test_sock 17798                 * 0

$ ls -l /proc/760/fd/{3,4}
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb  1 09:41 3 -> 'socket:[17798]'
l--------- 1 root root 64 Feb  1 09:41 4 -> /tmp/test_sock

$ cat /proc/760/fdinfo/4
pos:	0
flags:	012000000
mnt_id:	40

$ cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep "^40\s"

0fb44559ff af_unix: move unix_mknod() out of bindlock
Dmitry reported a deadlock scenario:

unix_bind() path:
u->bindlock ==> sb_writer

do_splice() path:
sb_writer ==> pipe->mutex ==> u->bindlock

In the unix_bind() code path, unix_mknod() does not have to
be done with u->bindlock held, since it is a pure fs operation,
so we can just move unix_mknod() out.

Since commit 51f7e52dc9 ("ovl: share inode for hard link") there's no
need to call d_real_inode() to check two overlay inodes for equality.

Side effect of this revert is that it's no longer possible to connect one

f9aa9dc7d2 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps
for the Thunder driver.

That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending
a message to the hardware.  If that fails it returns an
error.

Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those
are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically.
But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has
to stay.

However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original
MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if
an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change.
Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original
MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue.

06a77b07e3 af_unix: conditionally use freezable blocking calls in read
Commit 2b15af6f95 ("af_unix: use freezable blocking calls in read")
converts schedule_timeout() to its freezable version, it was probably
correct at that time, but later, commit 2b514574f7
("net: af_unix: implement splice for stream af_unix sockets") breaks
the strong requirement for a freezable sleep, according to
commit 0f9548ca10:

    We shouldn't try_to_freeze if locks are held.  Holding a lock can cause a
    deadlock if the lock is later acquired in the suspend or hibernate path
    (e.g.  by dpm).  Holding a lock can also cause a deadlock in the case of
    cgroup_freezer if a lock is held inside a frozen cgroup that is later
    acquired by a process outside that group.

The pipe_lock is still held at that point.

So use freezable version only for the recvmsg call path, avoid impact for
Android.

7c13f97ffd udp: do fwd memory scheduling on dequeue
A new argument is added to __skb_recv_datagram to provide
an explicit skb destructor, invoked under the receive queue
lock.
The UDP protocol uses such argument to perform memory
reclaiming on dequeue, so that the UDP protocol does not
set anymore skb->desctructor.
Instead explicit memory reclaiming is performed at close() time and
when skbs are removed from the receive queue.
The in kernel UDP protocol users now need to call a
skb_recv_udp() variant instead of skb_recv_datagram() to
properly perform memory accounting on dequeue.

Overall, this allows acquiring only once the receive queue
lock on dequeue.

Tested using pktgen with random src port, 64 bytes packet,
wire-speed on a 10G link as sender and udp_sink as the receiver,
using an l4 tuple rxhash to stress the contention, and one or more
udp_sink instances with reuseport.

nr sinks	vanilla		patched
1		440		560
3		2150		2300
6		3650		3800
9		4450		4600
12		6250		6450

v1 -> v2:
 - do rmem and allocated memory scheduling under the receive lock
 - do bulk scheduling in first_packet_length() and in udp_destruct_sock()
 - avoid the typdef for the dequeue callback

6e1ce3c345 af_unix: split 'u->readlock' into two: 'iolock' and 'bindlock'
Right now we use the 'readlock' both for protecting some of the af_unix
IO path and for making the bind be single-threaded.

The two are independent, but using the same lock makes for a nasty
deadlock due to ordering with regards to filesystem locking.  The bind
locking would want to nest outside the VSF pathname locking, but the IO
locking wants to nest inside some of those same locks.

We tried to fix this earlier with commit c845acb324 ("af_unix: Fix
splice-bind deadlock") which moved the readlock inside the vfs locks,
but that caused problems with overlayfs that will then call back into
filesystem routines that take the lock in the wrong order anyway.

Splitting the locks means that we can go back to having the bind lock be
the outermost lock, and we don't have any deadlocks with lock ordering.

It turns out that it just replaces one deadlock with another one: we can
still get the wrong lock ordering with the readlock due to overlayfs
calling back into the filesystem layer and still taking the vfs locks
after the readlock.

The proper solution ends up being to just split the readlock into two
pieces: the bind lock (taken *outside* the vfs locks) and the IO lock
(taken *inside* the filesystem locks).  The two locks are independent
anyway.

3aa9799e13 af_unix: charge buffers to kmemcg
Unix sockets can consume a significant amount of system memory, hence
they should be accounted to kmemcg.

Since unix socket buffers are always allocated from process context, all
we need to do to charge them to kmemcg is set __GFP_ACCOUNT in
sock->sk_allocation mask.

Eric asked:

> 1) What happens when a buffer, allocated from socket <A> lands in a
> different socket <B>, maybe owned by another user/process.
>
> Who owns it now, in term of kmemcg accounting ?

We never move memcg charges.  E.g.  if two processes from different
cgroups are sharing a memory region, each page will be charged to the
process which touched it first.  Or if two processes are working with
the same directory tree, inodes and dentries will be charged to the
first user.  The same is fair for unix socket buffers - they will be
charged to the sender.

> 2) Has performance impact been evaluated ?

I ran netperf STREAM_STREAM with default options in a kmemcg on a 4 core
x2 HT box.  The results are below:

 # clients            bandwidth (10^6bits/sec)
                    base              patched
         1      67643 +-  725      64874 +-  353    - 4.0 %
         4     193585 +- 2516     186715 +- 1460    - 3.5 %
         8     194820 +-  377     187443 +- 1229    - 3.7 %

So the accounting doesn't come for free - it takes ~4% of performance.
I believe we could optimize it by using per cpu batching not only on
charge, but also on uncharge in memcg core, but that's beyond the scope
of this patch set - I'll take a look at this later.

Anyway, if performance impact is found to be unacceptable, it is always
possible to disable kmem accounting at boot time (cgroup.memory=nokmem)
or not use memory cgroups at runtime at all (thanks to jump labels
there'll be no overhead even if they are compiled in).

eb0a4a47ae af_unix: fix hard linked sockets on overlay
Overlayfs uses separate inodes even in the case of hard links on the
underlying filesystems.  This is a problem for AF_UNIX socket
implementation which indexes sockets based on the inode.  This resulted in
hard linked sockets not working.

The fix is to use the real, underlying inode.

Test case follows:

-- ovl-sock-test.c --
#include <unistd.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/un.h>

#define SOCK "test-sock"
#define SOCK2 "test-sock2"

int main(void)
{
	int fd, fd2;
	struct sockaddr_un addr = {
		.sun_family = AF_UNIX,
		.sun_path = SOCK,
	};
	struct sockaddr_un addr2 = {
		.sun_family = AF_UNIX,
		.sun_path = SOCK2,
	};

	unlink(SOCK);
	unlink(SOCK2);
	if ((fd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == -1)
		err(1, "socket");
	if (bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *) &addr, sizeof(addr)) == -1)
		err(1, "bind");
	if (listen(fd, 0) == -1)
		err(1, "listen");
	if (link(SOCK, SOCK2) == -1)
		err(1, "link");
	if ((fd2 = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == -1)
		err(1, "socket");
	if (connect(fd2, (struct sockaddr *) &addr2, sizeof(addr2)) == -1)
		err (1, "connect");
	return 0;

The unix_stream_read_generic function tries to use a continue statement
to restart the receive loop after waiting for a message. This may not
work as intended as the caller might use a recvmsg call to peek at
control messages without specifying a message buffer. If this was the
case, the continue will cause the function to return without an error
and without the credential information if the function had to wait for a
message while it had returned with the credentials otherwise. Change to
using goto to restart the loop without checking the condition first in
this case so that credentials are returned either way.

unrelated socket identified by address). This isn't correct as the
specified address could have been bound to the sending socket itself or
because this socket could have been connected to itself by the time of
the unix_peer_get but disconnected before the unix_state_lock(other). In
both cases, the if-block would be entered despite other == sk which
might either block the sender unintentionally or lead to trying to unlock
the same spin lock twice for a non-blocking send. Add a other != sk
check to guard against this.

To do so, we add a reference counted struct user_struct pointer to the

712f4aad40 unix: properly account for FDs passed over unix sockets
It is possible for a process to allocate and accumulate far more FDs than
the process' limit by sending them over a unix socket then closing them
to keep the process' fd count low.

This change addresses this problem by keeping track of the number of FDs
in flight per user and preventing non-privileged processes from having
more FDs in flight than their configured FD limit.

c845acb324 af_unix: Fix splice-bind deadlock
On 2015/11/06, Dmitry Vyukov reported a deadlock involving the splice
system call and AF_UNIX sockets,

http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2015/11/06/24

The situation was analyzed as

(a while ago) A: socketpair()
B: splice() from a pipe to /mnt/regular_file
	does sb_start_write() on /mnt
C: try to freeze /mnt
	wait for B to finish with /mnt
A: bind() try to bind our socket to /mnt/new_socket_name
	lock our socket, see it not bound yet
	decide that it needs to create something in /mnt
	try to do sb_start_write() on /mnt, block (it's
	waiting for C).
D: splice() from the same pipe to our socket
	lock the pipe, see that socket is connected
	try to lock the socket, block waiting for A
B:	get around to actually feeding a chunk from
	pipe to file, try to lock the pipe.  Deadlock.

The patch fixes this by removing the kern_path_create related code from
unix_mknod and executing it as part of unix_bind prior acquiring the
readlock of the socket in question. This means that A (as used above)
will sb_start_write on /mnt before it acquires the readlock, hence, it
won't indirectly block B which first did a sb_start_write and then
waited for a thread trying to acquire the readlock. Consequently, A
being blocked by C waiting for B won't cause a deadlock anymore
(effectively, both A and B acquire two locks in opposite order in the
situation described above).

Dmitry Vyukov(<dvyukov@google.com>) tested the original patch.
