rxrpc path MTU discovery currently only makes use of ICMPv4, but not
ICMPv6, which means that pmtud for IPv6 doesn't work correctly.  Fix it to
check for ICMPv6 messages also.

rxrpc: Fix alteration of headers whilst zerocopy pending

AF_RXRPC now uses MSG_SPLICE_PAGES to do zerocopy of the DATA packets when
it transmits them, but to reduce the number of descriptors required in the
DMA ring, it allocates a space for the protocol header in the memory
immediately before the data content so that it can include both in a single
descriptor.  This is used for either the main RX header or the smaller
jumbo subpacket header as appropriate:

  +----+------+
  | RX |      |
  +-+--+DATA  |
    |JH|      |
    +--+------+

Now, when it stitches a large jumbo packet together from a number of
individual DATA packets (each of which is 1412 bytes of data), it uses the
full RX header from the first and then the jumbo subpacket header for the
rest of the components:

  +---+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+
  |UDP|RX|DATA  |JH|DATA  |JH|DATA  |JH|DATA  |JH|DATA  |JH|DATA  |
  +---+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+

As mentioned, the main RX header and the jumbo header overlay one another
in memory and the formats don't match, so switching from one to the other
means rearranging the fields and adjusting the flags.

However, now that TLP has been included, it wants to retransmit the last
subpacket as a new data packet on its own, which means switching between
the header formats... and if the transmission is still pending, because of
the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, we end up corrupting the jumbo subheader.

This has a variety of effects, with the RX service number overwriting the
jumbo checksum/key number field and the RX checksum overwriting the jumbo
flags - resulting in, at the very least, a confused connection-level abort
from the peer.

Fix this by leaving the jumbo header in the allocation with the data, but
allocating the RX header from the page frag allocator and concocting it on
the fly at the point of transmission as it does for ACK packets.

<title>rxrpc: Fix race in call state changing vs recvmsg()</title>

<id>2d7b30aef34dae942e9ab7812b288ce14658ae66</id>
<content type='text'>
There's a race in between the rxrpc I/O thread recording the end of the
receive phase of a call and recvmsg() examining the state of the call to
determine whether it has completed.

The problem is that call-&gt;_state records the I/O thread's view of the call,
not the application's view (which may lag), so that alone is not
sufficient.  To this end, the application also checks whether there is
anything left in call-&gt;recvmsg_queue for it to pick up.  The call must be
in state RXRPC_CALL_COMPLETE and the recvmsg_queue empty for the call to be
considered fully complete.

In rxrpc_input_queue_data(), the latest skbuff is added to the queue and
then, if it was marked as LAST_PACKET, the state is advanced...  But this
is two separate operations with no locking around them.

As a consequence, the lack of locking means that sendmsg() can jump into
the gap on a service call and attempt to send the reply - but then get
rejected because the I/O thread hasn't advanced the state yet.

Simply flipping the order in which things are done isn't an option as that
impacts the client side, causing the checks in rxrpc_kernel_check_life() as
to whether the call is still alive to race instead.

Fix this by moving the update of call-&gt;_state inside the skb queue
spinlocked section where the packet is queued on the I/O thread side.

rxrpc's recvmsg() will then automatically sync against this because it has
to take the call-&gt;recvmsg_queue spinlock in order to dequeue the last
packet.

rxrpc's sendmsg() doesn't need amending as the app shouldn't be calling it
to send a reply until recvmsg() indicates it has returned all of the
request.

<title>rxrpc: Fix call state set to not include the SERVER_SECURING state</title>

<content type='text'>
The RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_SECURING state doesn't really belong with the other
states in the call's state set as the other states govern the call's Rx/Tx
phase transition and govern when packets can and can't be received or
transmitted.  The "Securing" state doesn't actually govern the reception of
packets and would need to be split depending on whether or not we've
received the last packet yet (to mirror RECV_REQUEST/ACK_REQUEST).

The "Securing" state is more about whether or not we can start forwarding
packets to the application as recvmsg will need to decode them and the
decoding can't take place until the challenge/response exchange has
completed.

Fix this by removing the RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_SECURING state from the state
set and, instead, using a flag, RXRPC_CALL_CONN_CHALLENGING, to track
whether or not we can queue the call for reception by recvmsg() or notify
the kernel app that data is ready.  In the event that we've already
received all the packets, the connection event handler will poke the app
layer in the appropriate manner.

Also there's a race whereby the app layer sees the last packet before rxrpc
has managed to end the rx phase and change the state to one amenable to
allowing a reply.  Fix this by queuing the packet after calling
rxrpc_end_rx_phase().

The rxrpc_connection attend queue is never used because conn::attend_link
is never initialised and so is always NULL'd out and thus always appears to
be busy.  This requires the following fix:

 (1) Fix this the attend queue problem by initialising conn::attend_link.

And, consequently, two further fixes for things masked by the above bug:

 (2) Fix rxrpc_input_conn_event() to handle being invoked with a NULL
     sk_buff pointer - something that can now happen with the above change.

 (3) Fix the RXRPC_SKB_MARK_SERVICE_CONN_SECURED message to carry a pointer
     to the connection and a ref on it.

<title>rxrpc, afs: Fix peer hash locking vs RCU callback</title>

<id>79d458c13056559d49b5e41fbc4b6890e68cf65b</id>
<content type='text'>
In its address list, afs now retains pointers to and refs on one or more
rxrpc_peer objects.  The address list is freed under RCU and at this time,
it puts the refs on those peers.

Now, when an rxrpc_peer object runs out of refs, it gets removed from the
peer hash table and, for that, rxrpc has to take a spinlock.  However, it
is now being called from afs's RCU cleanup, which takes place in BH
context - but it is just taking an ordinary spinlock.

The put may also be called from non-BH context, and so there exists the
possibility of deadlock if the BH-based RCU cleanup happens whilst the hash
spinlock is held.  This led to the attached lockdep complaint.

Fix this by changing spinlocks of rxnet-&gt;peer_hash_lock back to
BH-disabling locks.

<pre>
In its address list, afs now retains pointers to and refs on one or more
rxrpc_peer objects.  The address list is freed under RCU and at this time,
it puts the refs on those peers.

Now, when an rxrpc_peer object runs out of refs, it gets removed from the
peer hash table and, for that, rxrpc has to take a spinlock.  However, it
is now being called from afs's RCU cleanup, which takes place in BH
context - but it is just taking an ordinary spinlock.

The put may also be called from non-BH context, and so there exists the
possibility of deadlock if the BH-based RCU cleanup happens whilst the hash
spinlock is held.  This led to the attached lockdep complaint.

Fix this by changing spinlocks of rxnet-&gt;peer_hash_lock back to
BH-disabling locks.

<title>rxrpc: Fix ability to add more data to a call once MSG_MORE deasserted</title>

<id>ae4f899894792c436d792c17d3f3e6a2affb787f</id>
<content type='text'>
When userspace is adding data to an RPC call for transmission, it must pass
MSG_MORE to sendmsg() if it intends to add more data in future calls to
sendmsg().  Calling sendmsg() without MSG_MORE being asserted closes the
transmission phase of the call (assuming sendmsg() adds all the data
presented) and further attempts to add more data should be rejected.

However, this is no longer the case.  The change of call state that was
previously the guard got bumped over to the I/O thread, which leaves a
window for a repeat sendmsg() to insert more data.  This previously went
unnoticed, but the more recent patch that changed the structures behind the
Tx queue added a warning:

        WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 6639 at net/rxrpc/sendmsg.c:296 rxrpc_send_data+0x3f2/0x860

and rejected the additional data, returning error EPROTO.

Fix this by adding a guard flag to the call, setting the flag when we queue
the final packet and then rejecting further attempts to add data with
EPROTO.

Use spin_lock_irq(), not spin_lock_bh() to take the lock when accessing the

<title>rxrpc: Implement RACK/TLP to deal with transmission stalls [RFC8985]</title>

<id>7c482665931b6ce7bc72fa5feae6c35567070296</id>
<content type='text'>
When an rxrpc call is in its transmission phase and is sending a lot of
packets, stalls occasionally occur that cause severe performance
degradation (eg. increasing the transmission time for a 256MiB payload from
0.7s to 2.5s over a 10G link).

rxrpc already implements TCP-style congestion control [RFC5681] and this
helps mitigate the effects, but occasionally we're missing a time event
that deals with a missing ACK, leading to a stall until the RTO expires.

Fix this by implementing RACK/TLP in rxrpc.

<title>rxrpc: Fix request for an ACK when cwnd is minimum</title>

<content type='text'>
rxrpc_prepare_data_subpacket() sets the REQUEST-ACK flag on the outgoing
DATA packet under a number of circumstances, including, theoretically, when
the cwnd is at minimum (or less).  However, the minimum in this function is
hard-coded as 2, but the actual minimum is RXRPC_MIN_CWND (which is
currently 4) and so this never occurs.

Without this, we will miss the request of some ACKs, potentially leading to
a transmission stall until a timeout occurs on one side or the other that
leads to an ACK being generated.

Fix the function to use RXRPC_MIN_CWND rather than a hard-coded number.
