rxrpc: Split the server key type (rxrpc_s) into its own file

2020-11-23T18:09:29Z

Split the server private key type (rxrpc_s) out into its own file rather than mingling it with the authentication/client key type (rxrpc) since they don't really bear any relation. Signed-off-by: David Howells

rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeout

2020-05-11T15:42:28Z

rxrpc currently uses a fixed 4s retransmission timeout until the RTT is sufficiently sampled. This can cause problems with some fileservers with calls to the cache manager in the afs filesystem being dropped from the fileserver because a packet goes missing and the retransmission timeout is greater than the call expiry timeout. Fix this by: (1) Copying the RTT/RTO calculation code from Linux's TCP implementation and altering it to fit rxrpc. (2) Altering the various users of the RTT to make use of the new SRTT value. (3) Replacing the use of rxrpc_resend_timeout to use the calculated RTO value instead (which is needed in jiffies), along with a backoff. Notes: (1) rxrpc provides RTT samples by matching the serial numbers on outgoing DATA packets that have the RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK set and PING ACK packets against the reference serial number in incoming REQUESTED ACK and PING-RESPONSE ACK packets. (2) Each packet that is transmitted on an rxrpc connection gets a new per-connection serial number, even for retransmissions, so an ACK can be cross-referenced to a specific trigger packet. This allows RTT information to be drawn from retransmitted DATA packets also. (3) rxrpc maintains the RTT/RTO state on the rxrpc_peer record rather than on an rxrpc_call because many RPC calls won't live long enough to generate more than one sample. (4) The calculated SRTT value is in units of 8ths of a microsecond rather than nanoseconds. The (S)RTT and RTO values are displayed in /proc/net/rxrpc/peers.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

rxrpc: Support network namespacing

2017-05-25T17:15:11Z

Support network namespacing in AF_RXRPC with the following changes: (1) All the local endpoint, peer and call lists, locks, counters, etc. are moved into the per-namespace record. (2) All the connection tracking is moved into the per-namespace record with the exception of the client connection ID tree, which is kept global so that connection IDs are kept unique per-machine. (3) Each namespace gets its own epoch. This allows each network namespace to pretend to be a separate client machine. (4) The /proc/net/rxrpc_xxx files are now called /proc/net/rxrpc/xxx and the contents reflect the namespace. fs/afs/ should be okay with this patch as it explicitly requires the current net namespace to be init_net to permit a mount to proceed at the moment. It will, however, need updating so that cells, IP addresses and DNS records are per-namespace also. Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rxrpc: Change module filename to rxrpc.ko

2017-02-17T20:09:19Z

Change module filename from af-rxrpc.ko to rxrpc.ko so as to be consistent with the other protocol drivers. Also adjust the documentation to reflect this. Further, there is no longer a standalone rxkad module, as it has been merged into the rxrpc core, so get rid of references to that.

rxrpc: Kill off the rxrpc_transport struct

2016-06-22T13:00:23Z

The rxrpc_transport struct is now redundant, given that the rxrpc_peer struct is now per peer port rather than per peer host, so get rid of it. Service connection lists are transferred to the rxrpc_peer struct, as is the conn_lock. Previous patches moved the client connection handling out of the rxrpc_transport struct and discarded the connection bundling code. Signed-off-by: David Howells

rxrpc: Use IDR to allocate client conn IDs on a machine-wide basis

2016-06-22T08:10:02Z

Use the IDR facility to allocate client connection IDs on a machine-wide basis so that each client connection has a unique identifier. When the connection ID space wraps, we advance the epoch by 1, thereby effectively having a 62-bit ID space. The IDR facility is then used to look up client connections during incoming packet routing instead of using an rbtree rooted on the transport. This change allows for the removal of the transport in the future and also means that client connections can be looked up directly in the data-ready handler by connection ID. The ID management code is placed in a new file, conn-client.c, to which all the client connection-specific code will eventually move. Note that the IDR tree gets very expensive on memory if the connection IDs are widely scattered throughout the number space, so we shall need to retire connections that have, say, an ID more than four times the maximum number of client conns away from the current allocation point to try and keep the IDs concentrated. We will also need to retire connections from an old epoch. Also note that, for the moment, a pointer to the transport has to be passed through into the ID allocation function so that we can take a BH lock to prevent a locking issue against in-BH lookup of client connections. This will go away later when RCU is used for server connections also. Signed-off-by: David Howells
