c038a58ccf rxrpc: Allow failed client calls to be retried
Allow a client call that failed on network error to be retried, provided
that the Tx queue still holds DATA packet 1.  This allows an operation to
be submitted to another server or another address for the same server
without having to repackage and re-encrypt the data so far processed.

Two new functions are provided:

 (1) rxrpc_kernel_check_call() - This is used to find out the completion
     state of a call to guess whether it can be retried and whether it
     should be retried.

 (2) rxrpc_kernel_retry_call() - Disconnect the call from its current
     connection, reset the state and submit it as a new client call to a
     new address.  The new address need not match the previous address.

A call may be retried even if all the data hasn't been loaded into it yet;
a partially constructed will be retained at the same point it was at when
an error condition was detected.  msg_data_left() can be used to find out
how much data was packaged before the error occurred.

e833251ad8 rxrpc: Add notification of end-of-Tx phase
Add a callback to rxrpc_kernel_send_data() so that a kernel service can get
a notification that the AF_RXRPC call has transitioned out the Tx phase and
is now waiting for a reply or a final ACK.

This is called from AF_RXRPC with the call state lock held so the
notification is guaranteed to come before any reply is passed back.

Further, modify the AFS filesystem to make use of this so that we don't have
to change the afs_call state before sending the last bit of data.

3fd8712707 strparser: initialize all callbacks
commit bbb03029a8 ("strparser: Generalize strparser") added more
function pointers to 'struct strp_callbacks'; however, kcm_attach() was
not updated to initialize them.  This could cause the ->lock() and/or
->unlock() function pointers to be set to garbage values, causing a
crash in strp_work().

Fix the bug by moving the callback structs into static memory, so
unspecified members are zeroed.  Also constify them while we're at it.

This bug was found by syzkaller, which encountered the following splat:

22b6722bfa ipv6: Add sysctl for per namespace flow label reflection
Reflecting IPv6 Flow Label at server nodes is useful in environments
that employ multipath routing to load balance the requests. As "IPv6
Flow Label Reflection" standard draft [1] points out - ICMPv6 PTB error
messages generated in response to a downstream packets from the server
can be routed by a load balancer back to the original server without
looking at transport headers, if the server applies the flow label
reflection. This enables the Path MTU Discovery past the ECMP router in
load-balance or anycast environments where each server node is reachable
by only one path.

Introduce a sysctl to enable flow label reflection per net namespace for
all newly created sockets. Same could be earlier achieved only per
socket by setting the IPV6_FL_F_REFLECT flag for the IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MGR
socket option.

92b31a9af7 bpf: add BPF_J{LT,LE,SLT,SLE} instructions
Currently, eBPF only understands BPF_JGT (>), BPF_JGE (>=),
BPF_JSGT (s>), BPF_JSGE (s>=) instructions, this means that
particularly *JLT/*JLE counterparts involving immediates need
to be rewritten from e.g. X < [IMM] by swapping arguments into
[IMM] > X, meaning the immediate first is required to be loaded
into a register Y := [IMM], such that then we can compare with
Y > X. Note that the destination operand is always required to
be a register.

This has the downside of having unnecessarily increased register
pressure, meaning complex program would need to spill other
registers temporarily to stack in order to obtain an unused
register for the [IMM]. Loading to registers will thus also
affect state pruning since we need to account for that register
use and potentially those registers that had to be spilled/filled
again. As a consequence slightly more stack space might have
been used due to spilling, and BPF programs are a bit longer
due to extra code involving the register load and potentially
required spill/fills.

Thus, add BPF_JLT (<), BPF_JLE (<=), BPF_JSLT (s<), BPF_JSLE (s<=)
counterparts to the eBPF instruction set. Modifying LLVM to
remove the NegateCC() workaround in a PoC patch at [1] and
allowing it to also emit the new instructions resulted in
cilium's BPF programs that are injected into the fast-path to
have a reduced program length in the range of 2-3% (e.g.
accumulated main and tail call sections from one of the object
file reduced from 4864 to 4729 insns), reduced complexity in
the range of 10-30% (e.g. accumulated sections reduced in one
of the cases from 116432 to 88428 insns), and reduced stack
usage in the range of 1-5% (e.g. accumulated sections from one
of the object files reduced from 824 to 784b).

The modification for LLVM will be incorporated in a backwards
compatible way. Plan is for LLVM to have i) a target specific
option to offer a possibility to explicitly enable the extension
by the user (as we have with -m target specific extensions today
for various CPU insns), and ii) have the kernel checked for
presence of the extensions and enable them transparently when
the user is selecting more aggressive options such as -march=native
in a bpf target context. (Other frontends generating BPF byte
code, e.g. ply can probe the kernel directly for its code
generation.)

e754eba685 rxrpc: Provide a cmsg to specify the amount of Tx data for a call
Provide a control message that can be specified on the first sendmsg() of a
client call or the first sendmsg() of a service response to indicate the
total length of the data to be transmitted for that call.

Currently, because the length of the payload of an encrypted DATA packet is
encrypted in front of the data, the packet cannot be encrypted until we
know how much data it will hold.

By specifying the length at the beginning of the transmit phase, each DATA
packet length can be set before we start loading data from userspace (where
several sendmsg() calls may contribute to a particular packet).

An error will be returned if too little or too much data is presented in
the Tx phase.

4e255721d1 rxrpc: Add service upgrade support for client connections
Make it possible for a client to use AuriStor's service upgrade facility.

The client does this by adding an RXRPC_UPGRADE_SERVICE control message to
the first sendmsg() of a call.  This takes no parameters.

When recvmsg() starts returning data from the call, the service ID field in
the returned msg_name will reflect the result of the upgrade attempt.  If
the upgrade was ignored, srx_service will match what was set in the
sendmsg(); if the upgrade happened the srx_service will be altered to
indicate the service the server upgraded to.

Note that:

 (1) The choice of upgrade service is up to the server

 (2) Further client calls to the same server that would share a connection
     are blocked if an upgrade probe is in progress.

 (3) This should only be used to probe the service.  Clients should then
     use the returned service ID in all subsequent communications with that
     server (and not set the upgrade).  Note that the kernel will not
     retain this information should the connection expire from its cache.

 (4) If a server that supports upgrading is replaced by one that doesn't,
     whilst a connection is live, and if the replacement is running, say,
     OpenAFS 1.6.4 or older or an older IBM AFS, then the replacement
     server will not respond to packets sent to the upgraded connection.

     At this point, calls will time out and the server must be reprobed.

4722974d90 rxrpc: Implement service upgrade
Implement AuriStor's service upgrade facility.  There are three problems
that this is meant to deal with:

 (1) Various of the standard AFS RPC calls have IPv4 addresses in their
     requests and/or replies - but there's no room for including IPv6
     addresses.

 (2) Definition of IPv6-specific RPC operations in the standard operation
     sets has not yet been achieved.

 (3) One could envision the creation a new service on the same port that as
     the original service.  The new service could implement improved
     operations - and the client could try this first, falling back to the
     original service if it's not there.

     Unfortunately, certain servers ignore packets addressed to a service
     they don't implement and don't respond in any way - not even with an
     ABORT.  This means that the client must then wait for the call timeout
     to occur.

What service upgrade does is to see if the connection is marked as being
'upgradeable' and if so, change the service ID in the server and thus the
request and reply formats.  Note that the upgrade isn't mandatory - a
server that supports only the original call set will ignore the upgrade
request.

In the protocol, the procedure is then as follows:

 (1) To request an upgrade, the first DATA packet in a new connection must
     have the userStatus set to 1 (this is normally 0).  The userStatus
     value is normally ignored by the server.

 (2) If the server doesn't support upgrading, the reply packets will
     contain the same service ID as for the first request packet.

 (3) If the server does support upgrading, all future reply packets on that
     connection will contain the new service ID and the new service ID will
     be applied to *all* further calls on that connection as well.

 (4) The RPC op used to probe the upgrade must take the same request data
     as the shadow call in the upgrade set (but may return a different
     reply).  GetCapability RPC ops were added to all standard sets for
     just this purpose.  Ops where the request formats differ cannot be
     used for probing.

 (5) The client must wait for completion of the probe before sending any
     further RPC ops to the same destination.  It should then use the
     service ID that recvmsg() reported back in all future calls.

 (6) The shadow service must have call definitions for all the operation
     IDs defined by the original service.


To support service upgrading, a server should:

 (1) Call bind() twice on its AF_RXRPC socket before calling listen().
     Each bind() should supply a different service ID, but the transport
     addresses must be the same.  This allows the server to receive
     requests with either service ID.

 (2) Enable automatic upgrading by calling setsockopt(), specifying
     RXRPC_UPGRADEABLE_SERVICE and passing in a two-member array of
     unsigned shorts as the argument:

	unsigned short optval[2];

     This specifies a pair of service IDs.  They must be different and must
     match the service IDs bound to the socket.  Member 0 is the service ID
     to upgrade from and member 1 is the service ID to upgrade to.

28036f4485 rxrpc: Permit multiple service binding
Permit bind() to be called on an AF_RXRPC socket more than once (currently
maximum twice) to bind multiple listening services to it.  There are some
restrictions:

 (1) All bind() calls involved must have a non-zero service ID.

 (2) The service IDs must all be different.

 (3) The rest of the address (notably the transport part) must be the same
     in all (a single UDP socket is shared).

 (4) This must be done before listen() or sendmsg() is called.

This allows someone to connect to the service socket with different service
IDs and lays the foundation for service upgrading.

The service ID used by an incoming call can be extracted from the msg_name
returned by recvmsg().

b50a5c70ff net: allow simultaneous SW and HW transmit timestamping
Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TX_SWHW option to allow an outgoing packet to
be looped to the socket's error queue with a software timestamp even
when a hardware transmit timestamp is expected to be provided by the
driver.

Applications using this option will receive two separate messages from
the error queue, one with a software timestamp and the other with a
hardware timestamp. As the hardware timestamp is saved to the shared skb
info, which may happen before the first message with software timestamp
is received by the application, the hardware timestamp is copied to the
SCM_TIMESTAMPING control message only when the skb has no software
timestamp or it is an incoming packet.

While changing sw_tx_timestamp(), inline it in skb_tx_timestamp() as
there are no other users.

aad9c8c470 net: add new control message for incoming HW-timestamped packets
Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_PKTINFO option to request a new control message
for incoming packets with hardware timestamps. It contains the index of
the real interface which received the packet and the length of the
packet at layer 2.

The index is useful with bonding, bridges and other interfaces, where
IP_PKTINFO doesn't allow applications to determine which PHC made the
timestamp. With the L2 length (and link speed) it is possible to
transpose preamble timestamps to trailer timestamps, which are used in
the NTP protocol.

While this information could be provided by two new socket options
independently from timestamping, it doesn't look like they would be very
useful. With this option any performance impact is limited to hardware
timestamping.

Use dev_get_by_napi_id() to get the device and its index. On kernels
with disabled CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL or drivers not using NAPI, a zero
index will be returned in the control message.

skb_csum_hwoffload_help() uses netdev features and skb->csum_not_inet to
determine if skb needs software computation of Internet Checksum or crc32c
(or nothing, if this computation can be done by the hardware). Use it in
place of skb_checksum_help() in validate_xmit_skb() to avoid corruption
of non-GSO SCTP packets having skb->ip_summed equal to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.

While at it, remove references to skb_csum_off_chk* functions, since they

   [PATCH 0/5] Convert more books to ReST
   [PATCH 00/13] Get rid of DocBook

a security Documentation patch series gets merged.

It also adjusts some Sphinx-pedantic errors/warnings on
