Steady stream of fixes. Last two weeks feel comparable to the two
weeks before the merge window. Lots of AI-aided bug discovery.
A newer big source is Sashiko/Gemini (Roman Gushchin's system),
which points out issues in existing code during patch review
(maybe 25% of fixes here likely originating from Sashiko).
Nice thing is these are often fixed by the respective maintainers,
not drive-bys.
Current release - new code bugs:
- kconfig: MDIO_PIC64HPSC should depend on ARCH_MICROCHIP
Previous releases - regressions:
- add async ndo_set_rx_mode and switch drivers which we promised
to be called under the per-netdev mutex to it
- dsa: remove duplicate netdev_lock_ops() for conduit ethtool ops
- hv_sock: report EOF instead of -EIO for FIN
- vsock/virtio: fix MSG_PEEK calculation on bytes to copy
Previous releases - always broken:
- ipv6: fix possible UAF in icmpv6_rcv()
- icmp: validate reply type before using icmp_pointers
- af_unix: drop all SCM attributes for SOCKMAP
- netfilter: fix a number of bugs in the osf (OS fingerprinting)
- eth: intel: fix timestamp interrupt configuration for E825C
Misc:
- bunch of data-race annotations

tcp_get_timestamping_opt_stats() does not own the socket lock,
this is intentional.
It calls tcp_get_info_chrono_stats() while other threads could
change chrono fields in tcp_chrono_set().

add annotations to keep KCSAN happy.

Commit under Fixes moved recomputing the window clamp to
tcp_measure_rcv_mss() (when scaling_ratio changes).
I suspect it missed the fact that we don't recompute the clamp
when rcvbuf is set. Until scaling_ratio changes we are
stuck with the old window clamp which may be based on
the small initial buffer. scaling_ratio may never change.
Inspired by Eric's recent commit d1361840f8 ("tcp: fix
SO_RCVLOWAT and RCVBUF autotuning") plumb the user action
thru to TCP and have it update the clamp.
A smaller fix would be to just have tcp_rcvbuf_grow()
adjust the clamp even if SOCK_RCVBUF_LOCK is set.
But IIUC this is what we were trying to get away from
in the first place.

By default, the Linux TCP implementation does not shrink the
advertised window (RFC 7323 calls this "window retraction") with the
following exceptions:
- When an incoming segment cannot be added due to the receive buffer
running out of memory. Since commit 8c670bdfa5 ("tcp: correct
handling of extreme memory squeeze") a zero window will be
advertised in this case. It turns out that reaching the required
memory pressure is easy when window scaling is in use. In the
simplest case, sending a sufficient number of segments smaller than
the scale factor to a receiver that does not read data is enough.
- Commit b650d953cd ("tcp: enforce receive buffer memory limits by
allowing the tcp window to shrink") addressed the "eating memory"
problem by introducing a sysctl knob that allows shrinking the
window before running out of memory.
However, RFC 7323 does not only state that shrinking the window is
necessary in some cases, it also formulates requirements for TCP
implementations when doing so (Section 2.4).
This commit addresses the receiver-side requirements: After retracting
the window, the peer may have a snd_nxt that lies within a previously
advertised window but is now beyond the retracted window. This means
that all incoming segments (including pure ACKs) will be rejected
until the application happens to read enough data to let the peer's
snd_nxt be in window again (which may be never).
To comply with RFC 7323, the receiver MUST honor any segment that
would have been in window for any ACK sent by the receiver and, when
window scaling is in effect, SHOULD track the maximum window sequence
number it has advertised. This patch tracks that maximum window
sequence number rcv_mwnd_seq throughout the connection and uses it in
tcp_sequence() when deciding whether a segment is acceptable.
rcv_mwnd_seq is updated together with rcv_wup and rcv_wnd in
tcp_select_window(). If we count tcp_sequence() as fast path, it is
read in the fast path. Therefore, rcv_mwnd_seq is put into rcv_wnd's
cacheline group.
The logic for handling received data in tcp_data_queue() is already
sufficient and does not need to be updated.

Instead of using struct timespec64 in scm_timestamping_internal,
use ktime_t, saving 24 bytes in kernel stack.
This makes tcp_update_recv_tstamps() small enough to be inlined.
The ktime_t -> timespec64 conversions happen after socket lock
has been released in tcp_recvmsg(), and only if the application
requested them.

NULL pointer dereference fix.
msg_get_inq is an input field from caller to callee. Don't set it in
the callee, as the caller may not clear it on struct reuse.
This is a kernel-internal variant of msghdr only, and the only user
does reinitialize the field. So this is not critical for that reason.
But it is more robust to avoid the write, and slightly simpler code.
And it fixes a bug, see below.
Callers set msg_get_inq to request the input queue length to be
returned in msg_inq. This is equivalent to but independent from the
SO_INQ request to return that same info as a cmsg (tp->recvmsg_inq).
To reduce branching in the hot path the second also sets the msg_inq.
That is WAI.
This is a fix to commit 4d1442979e ("af_unix: don't post cmsg for
SO_INQ unless explicitly asked for"), which fixed the inverse.
Also avoid NULL pointer dereference in unix_stream_read_generic if
state->msg is NULL and msg->msg_get_inq is written. A NULL state->msg
can happen when splicing as of commit 2b514574f7 ("net: af_unix:
implement splice for stream af_unix sockets").
Also collapse two branches using a bitwise or.

TCP calls tcp_rcv_space_adjust() to run DRS algorithm to check
if an increase of sk->sk_rcvbuf is needed.
This function is based on time sampling, and currently calls
tcp_mstamp_refresh(tp), which is a wrapper around ktime_get_ns().
ktime_get_ns() has a high cost on some platforms.
100+ cycles for rdtscp on AMD EPYC Turin for instance.

The 'if (!key && hash_location)' check in tcp_inbound_md5_hash() implies

Fortunately, there is no real bug, since tcp_inbound_md5_hash() is
called only with non-null values of hash_location.
Therefore, remove the unnecessary and misleading null check of
hash_location. This silences a Smatch static checker warning

Make tcp-md5 use the MD5 library API (added in 6.18) instead of the
crypto_ahash API. This is much simpler and also more efficient:
- The library API just operates on struct md5_ctx. Just allocate this
struct on the stack instead of using a pool of pre-allocated
crypto_ahash and ahash_request objects.
- The library API accepts standard pointers and doesn't require
scatterlists. So, for hashing the headers just use an on-stack buffer
instead of a pool of pre-allocated kmalloc'ed scratch buffers.
- The library API never fails. Therefore, checking for MD5 hashing
errors is no longer necessary. Update tcp_v4_md5_hash_skb(),
tcp_v6_md5_hash_skb(), tcp_v4_md5_hash_hdr(), tcp_v6_md5_hash_hdr(),
tcp_md5_hash_key(), tcp_sock_af_ops::calc_md5_hash, and
tcp_request_sock_ops::calc_md5_hash to return void instead of int.
- The library API provides direct access to the MD5 code, eliminating
unnecessary overhead such as indirect function calls and scatterlist
management. Microbenchmarks of tcp_v4_md5_hash_skb() on x86_64 show a
speedup from 7518 to 7041 cycles (6% fewer) with skb->len == 1440, or
from 1020 to 678 cycles (33% fewer) with skb->len == 140.
Since tcp_sigpool_hash_skb_data() can no longer be used, add a function
tcp_md5_hash_skb_data() which is specialized to MD5. Of course, to the
extent that this duplicates any code, it's well worth it.
To preserve the existing behavior of TCP-MD5 support being disabled when
the kernel is booted with "fips=1", make tcp_md5_do_add() check
fips_enabled itself. Previously it relied on the error from
crypto_alloc_ahash("md5") being bubbled up. I don't know for sure that
this is actually needed, but this preserves the existing behavior.
Tested with bidirectional TCP-MD5, both IPv4 and IPv6, between a kernel
that includes this commit and a kernel that doesn't include this commit.
(Side note: please don't use TCP-MD5! It's cryptographically weak. But
as long as Linux supports it, it might as well be implemented properly.)

Some protocols (e.g., TCP, UDP) implement memory accounting for socket
buffers and charge memory to per-protocol global counters pointed to by
sk->sk_proto->memory_allocated.
Sometimes, system processes do not want that limitation. For a similar
purpose, there is SO_RESERVE_MEM for sockets under memcg.
Also, by opting out of the per-protocol accounting, sockets under memcg
can avoid paying costs for two orthogonal memory accounting mechanisms.
A microbenchmark result is in the subsequent bpf patch.
Let's allow opt-out from the per-protocol memory accounting if
sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem is true.
sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem and sk->sk_prot are placed in the same cache
line, and sk_has_account() always fetches sk->sk_prot before accessing
sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem, so there is no extra cache miss for this patch.
The following patches will set sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem to true, and
then, the per-protocol memory accounting will be skipped.
Note that this does NOT disable memcg, but rather the per-protocol one.
Another option not to use the hole in struct sock_common is create
sk_prot variants like tcp_prot_bypass, but this would complicate
SOCKMAP logic, tcp_bpf_prots etc.

Some metrics need to be updated, otherwise TCP might take time to
adapt to the new (emulated) RTT.
This patch adjusts tp->srtt_us, tp->rtt_min, icsk_rto
and sk->sk_pacing_rate.
This is best effort, and for instance icsk_rto is reset
without taking backoff into account.

Some applications (like selftests/net/tcp_mmap.c) call SO_RCVLOWAT
on their listener, before accept().
This has an unfortunate effect on wscale selection in
tcp_select_initial_window() during 3WHS.
For instance, tcp_mmap was negotiating wscale 4, regardless
of tcp_rmem[2] and sysctl_rmem_max.
Do not change tp->window_clamp if it is zero
or bigger than our computed value.
Zero value is special, it allows tcp_select_initial_window()
to enable autotuning.
Note that SO_RCVLOWAT use on listener is probably not wise,
because tp->scaling_ratio has a default value, possibly wrong.

tp->tcp_clean_acked is fetched in tx path when snd_una is updated.
This field thus belongs to tcp_sock_read_tx group.

Maintaining the CACHELINE_ASSERT_GROUP_SIZE() uses
for struct tcp_sock has been painful.
This had little benefit, so remove them.
