<content type='text'>
When recvmsg with MSG_PEEK flag, the data will be copied to
user's buffer without advancing consume cursor and without
reducing the length of rx available data. Once the expected
peek length is larger than the value of bytes_to_rcv, in the
loop of do while in smc_rx_recvmsg, the first loop will copy
bytes_to_rcv bytes of data from the position local_tx_ctrl.cons,
the second loop will copy the min(bytes_to_rcv, read_remaining)
bytes from the position local_tx_ctrl.cons again because of the
lacking of process with advancing consume cursor and reducing
the length of available data. So do the subsequent loops. The
data copied in the second loop and the subsequent loops will
result in data error, as it should not be copied if no more data
arrives and it should be copied from the position advancing
bytes_to_rcv bytes from the local_tx_ctrl.cons if more data arrives.

This issue can be reproduce by the following python script:
server.py:
import socket
import time
server_ip = '0.0.0.0'
server_port = 12346
server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server_socket.bind((server_ip, server_port))
server_socket.listen(1)
print('Server is running and listening for connections...')
conn, addr = server_socket.accept()
print('Connected by', addr)
while True:
    data = conn.recv(1024)
    if not data:
        break
    print('Received request:', data.decode())
    conn.sendall(b'Hello, client!\n')
    time.sleep(5)
    conn.sendall(b'Hello, again!\n')
conn.close()

client.py:
import socket
server_ip = '&lt;server ip&gt;'
server_port = 12346
resp=b'Hello, client!\nHello, again!\n'
client_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
client_socket.connect((server_ip, server_port))
request = 'Hello, server!'
client_socket.sendall(request.encode())
peek_data = client_socket.recv(len(resp),
    socket.MSG_PEEK | socket.MSG_WAITALL)
print('Peeked data:', peek_data.decode())
client_socket.close()

Here "buf" is a void pointer so sizeof(*buf) is one.  Doing a divide
by one makes the code less readable.  Delete it.

<title>net: add sk_wake_async_rcu() helper</title>

<content type='text'>
While looking at UDP receive performance, I saw sk_wake_async()
was no longer inlined.

This matters at least on AMD Zen1-4 platforms (see SRSO)

This might be because rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()
are no longer nops in recent kernels ?

Add sk_wake_async_rcu() variant, which must be called from
contexts already holding rcu lock.

As SOCK_FASYNC is deprecated in modern days, use unlikely()
to give a hint to the compiler.

sk_wake_async_rcu() is properly inlined from
__udp_enqueue_schedule_skb() and sock_def_readable().

__condition is evaluated twice in sk_wait_event() macro.

First invocation is lockless, and reads can race with writes,
as spotted by syzbot.

<title>net/smc: Allow virtually contiguous sndbufs or RMBs for SMC-R</title>
<updated>2022-07-18T10:19:17+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=b8d199451c99b3796b840c350eb74b830c5c869b'/>
<id>b8d199451c99b3796b840c350eb74b830c5c869b</id>
<content type='text'>
On long-running enterprise production servers, high-order contiguous
memory pages are usually very rare and in most cases we can only get
fragmented pages.

When replacing TCP with SMC-R in such production scenarios, attempting
to allocate high-order physically contiguous sndbufs and RMBs may result
in frequent memory compaction, which will cause unexpected hung issue
and further stability risks.

So this patch is aimed to allow SMC-R link group to use virtually
contiguous sndbufs and RMBs to avoid potential issues mentioned above.
Whether to use physically or virtually contiguous buffers can be set
by sysctl smcr_buf_type.

Note that using virtually contiguous buffers will bring an acceptable
performance regression, which can be mainly divided into two parts:

1) regression in data path, which is brought by additional address
   translation of sndbuf by RNIC in Tx. But in general, translating
   address through MTT is fast.

   Taking 256KB sndbuf and RMB as an example, the comparisons in qperf
   latency and bandwidth test with physically and virtually contiguous
   buffers are as follows:

- client:
  smc_run taskset -c &lt;cpu&gt; qperf &lt;server&gt; -oo msg_size:1:64K:*2\
  -t 5 -vu tcp_{bw|lat}
- server:
  smc_run taskset -c &lt;cpu&gt; qperf

   [latency]
   msgsize              tcp            smcr        smcr-use-virt-buf

Test environment notes:
1. Above tests run on 2 VMs within the same Host.
2. The NIC is ConnectX-4Lx, using SRIOV and passing through 2 VFs to
   the each VM respectively.
3. VMs' vCPUs are binded to different physical CPUs, and the binded
   physical CPUs are isolated by `isolcpus=xxx` cmdline.
4. NICs' queue number are set to 1.

On long-running enterprise production servers, high-order contiguous
memory pages are usually very rare and in most cases we can only get
fragmented pages.

When replacing TCP with SMC-R in such production scenarios, attempting
to allocate high-order physically contiguous sndbufs and RMBs may result
in frequent memory compaction, which will cause unexpected hung issue
and further stability risks.

So this patch is aimed to allow SMC-R link group to use virtually
contiguous sndbufs and RMBs to avoid potential issues mentioned above.
Whether to use physically or virtually contiguous buffers can be set
by sysctl smcr_buf_type.

Note that using virtually contiguous buffers will bring an acceptable
performance regression, which can be mainly divided into two parts:

1) regression in data path, which is brought by additional address
   translation of sndbuf by RNIC in Tx. But in general, translating
   address through MTT is fast.

   Taking 256KB sndbuf and RMB as an example, the comparisons in qperf
   latency and bandwidth test with physically and virtually contiguous
   buffers are as follows:

- client:
  smc_run taskset -c &lt;cpu&gt; qperf &lt;server&gt; -oo msg_size:1:64K:*2\
  -t 5 -vu tcp_{bw|lat}
- server:
  smc_run taskset -c &lt;cpu&gt; qperf

smc_ib_sync_sg_for_cpu/device are the ops used for dma memory cache
consistency. Smc sndbufs are dma buffers, where CPU writes data to
it and PCIE device reads data from it. So for sndbufs,
smc_ib_sync_sg_for_device is needed and smc_ib_sync_sg_for_cpu is
redundant as PCIE device will not write the buffers. Smc rmbs
are dma buffers, where PCIE device write data to it and CPU read
data from it. So for rmbs, smc_ib_sync_sg_for_cpu is needed and
smc_ib_sync_sg_for_device is redundant as CPU will not write the buffers.

Non blocking sendmsg will return -EAGAIN when any signal pending
and no send space left, while non blocking recvmsg return -EINTR
when signal pending and no data received. This may makes confused.
As TCP returns -EAGAIN in the conditions described above. Align the
behavior of smc with TCP.
