rxrpc: Fix afs large storage transmission performance drop

2020-06-17T22:01:39Z

Commit 2ad6691d988c, which moved the modification of the status annotation for a packet in the Tx buffer prior to the retransmission moved the state clearance, but managed to lose the bit that set it to UNACK. Consequently, if a retransmission occurs, the packet is accidentally changed to the ACK state (ie. 0) by masking it off, which means that the packet isn't counted towards the tally of newly-ACK'd packets if it gets hard-ACK'd. This then prevents the congestion control algorithm from recovering properly. Fix by reinstating the change of state to UNACK. Spotted by the generic/460 xfstest.

rxrpc: Fix race between incoming ACK parser and retransmitter

2020-06-12T01:18:22Z

There's a race between the retransmission code and the received ACK parser. The problem is that the retransmission loop has to drop the lock under which it is iterating through the transmission buffer in order to transmit a packet, but whilst the lock is dropped, the ACK parser can crank the Tx window round and discard the packets from the buffer. The retransmission code then updated the annotations for the wrong packet and a later retransmission thought it had to retransmit a packet that wasn't there, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. Fix this by: (1) Moving the annotation change to before we drop the lock prior to transmission. This means we can't vary the annotation depending on the outcome of the transmission, but that's fine - we'll retransmit again later if it failed now. (2) Skipping the packet if the skb pointer is NULL.

rxrpc: Fix missing notification

2020-06-05T12:36:35Z

Under some circumstances, rxrpc will fail a transmit a packet through the underlying UDP socket (ie. UDP sendmsg returns an error). This may result in a call getting stuck. In the instance being seen, where AFS tries to send a probe to the Volume Location server, tracepoints show the UDP Tx failure (in this case returing error 99 EADDRNOTAVAIL) and then nothing more: afs_make_vl_call: c=0000015d VL.GetCapabilities rxrpc_call: c=0000015d NWc u=1 sp=rxrpc_kernel_begin_call+0x106/0x170 [rxrpc] a=00000000dd89ee8a rxrpc_call: c=0000015d Gus u=2 sp=rxrpc_new_client_call+0x14f/0x580 [rxrpc] a=00000000e20e4b08 rxrpc_call: c=0000015d SEE u=2 sp=rxrpc_activate_one_channel+0x7b/0x1c0 [rxrpc] a=00000000e20e4b08 rxrpc_call: c=0000015d CON u=2 sp=rxrpc_kernel_begin_call+0x106/0x170 [rxrpc] a=00000000e20e4b08 rxrpc_tx_fail: c=0000015d r=1 ret=-99 CallDataNofrag The problem is that if the initial packet fails and the retransmission timer hasn't been started, the call is set to completed and an error is returned from rxrpc_send_data_packet() to rxrpc_queue_packet(). Though rxrpc_instant_resend() is called, this does nothing because the call is marked completed. So rxrpc_notify_socket() isn't called and the error is passed back up to rxrpc_send_data(), rxrpc_kernel_send_data() and thence to afs_make_call() and afs_vl_get_capabilities() where it is simply ignored because it is assumed that the result of a probe will be collected asynchronously. Fileserver probing is similarly affected via afs_fs_get_capabilities(). Fix this by always issuing a notification in __rxrpc_set_call_completion() if it shifts a call to the completed state, even if an error is also returned to the caller through the function return value. Also put in a little bit of optimisation to avoid taking the call state_lock and disabling softirqs if the call is already in the completed state and remove some now redundant rxrpc_notify_socket() calls.

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.

rxrpc: Use the tx-phase skb flag to simplify tracing

2019-08-27T09:04:18Z

Use the previously-added transmit-phase skbuff private flag to simplify the socket buffer tracing a bit. Which phase the skbuff comes from can now be divined from the skb rather than having to be guessed from the call state. We can also reduce the number of rxrpc_skb_trace values by eliminating the difference between Tx and Rx in the symbols. Signed-off-by: David Howells

rxrpc: Fix lockup due to no error backoff after ack transmit error

2018-11-03T06:59:26Z

If the network becomes (partially) unavailable, say by disabling IPv6, the background ACK transmission routine can get itself into a tizzy by proposing immediate ACK retransmission. Since we're in the call event processor, that happens immediately without returning to the workqueue manager. The condition should clear after a while when either the network comes back or the call times out. Fix this by: (1) When re-proposing an ACK on failed Tx, don't schedule it immediately. This will allow a certain amount of time to elapse before we try again. (2) Enforce a return to the workqueue manager after a certain number of iterations of the call processing loop. (3) Add a backoff delay that increases the delay on deferred ACKs by a jiffy per failed transmission to a limit of HZ. The backoff delay is cleared on a successful return from kernel_sendmsg(). (4) Cancel calls immediately if the opening sendmsg fails. The layer above can arrange retransmission or rotate to another server.

rxrpc: Fix handling of call quietly cancelled out on server

2018-06-04T20:06:26Z

Sometimes an in-progress call will stop responding on the fileserver when the fileserver quietly cancels the call with an internally marked abort (RX_CALL_DEAD), without sending an ABORT to the client. This causes the client's call to eventually expire from lack of incoming packets directed its way, which currently leads to it being cancelled locally with ETIME. Note that it's not currently clear as to why this happens as it's really hard to reproduce. The rotation policy implement by kAFS, however, doesn't differentiate between ETIME meaning we didn't get any response from the server and ETIME meaning the call got cancelled mid-flow. The latter leads to an oops when fetching data as the rotation partially resets the afs_read descriptor, which can result in a cleared page pointer being dereferenced because that page has already been filled. Handle this by the following means: (1) Set a flag on a call when we receive a packet for it. (2) Store the highest packet serial number so far received for a call (bearing in mind this may wrap). (3) If, when the "not received anything recently" timeout expires on a call, we've received at least one packet for a call and the connection as a whole has received packets more recently than that call, then cancel the call locally with ECONNRESET rather than ETIME. This indicates that the call was definitely in progress on the server. (4) In kAFS, if the rotation algorithm sees ECONNRESET rather than ETIME, don't try the next server, but rather abort the call. This avoids the oops as we don't try to reuse the afs_read struct. Rather, as-yet ungotten pages will be reread at a later data. Also: (5) Add an rxrpc tracepoint to log detection of the call being reset. Without this, I occasionally see an oops like the following: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI ...
