Revert "tcp: avoid atomic operations on sk->sk_rmem_alloc"

This reverts commit 0de2a5c4b824da2205658ebebb99a55c43cdf60f.

I forgot that a TCP socket could receive messages in its error queue.

sock_queue_err_skb() can be called without socket lock being held,
and changes sk->sk_rmem_alloc.

The fact that skbs in error queue are limited by sk->sk_rcvbuf
means that error messages can be dropped if socket receive
queues are full, which is an orthogonal issue.

In future kernels, we could use a separate sk->sk_error_mem_alloc
counter specifically for the error queue.

tcp: support TCP_RTO_MIN_US for set/getsockopt use

Support adjusting/reading RTO MIN for socket level by using set/getsockopt().

This new option has the same effect as TCP_BPF_RTO_MIN, which means it
doesn't affect RTAX_RTO_MIN usage (by using ip route...). Considering that
bpf option was implemented before this patch, so we need to use a standalone
new option for pure tcp set/getsockopt() use.

When the socket is created, its icsk_rto_min is set to the default
value that is controlled by sysctl_tcp_rto_min_us. Then if application
calls setsockopt() with TCP_RTO_MIN_US flag to pass a valid value, then
icsk_rto_min will be overridden in jiffies unit.

This patch adds WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE to avoid data-race around
icsk_rto_min.

tcp: add new TCP_TW_ACK_OOW state and allow ECN bits in TOS

ECN bits in TOS are always cleared when sending in ACKs in TW. Clearing
them is problematic for TCP flows that used Accurate ECN because ECN bits
decide which service queue the packet is placed into (L4S vs Classic).
Effectively, TW ACKs are always downgraded from L4S to Classic queue
which might impact, e.g., delay the ACK will experience on the path
compared with the other packets of the flow.

Change the TW ACK sending code to differentiate:
- In tcp_v4_send_reset(), commit ba9e04a7ddf4f ("ip: fix tos reflection
in ack and reset packets") cleans ECN bits for TW reset and this is
not affected.
- In tcp_v4_timewait_ack(), ECN bits for all TW ACKs are cleaned. But now
only ECN bits of ACKs for oow data or paws_reject are cleaned, and ECN
bits of other ACKs will not be cleaned.
- In tcp_v4_reqsk_send_ack(), commit 66b13d99d96a1 ("ipv4: tcp: fix TOS
value in ACK messages sent from TIME_WAIT") did not clean ECN bits of
ACKs for oow data or paws_reject. But now the ECN bits rae cleaned for
these ACKs.

tcp: ulp: diag: more info without CAP_NET_ADMIN

When introduced in commit 61723b393292 ("tcp: ulp: add functions to dump
ulp-specific information"), the whole ULP diag info has been exported
only if the requester had CAP_NET_ADMIN.

It looks like not everything is sensitive, and some info can be exported
to all users in order to ease the debugging from the userspace side
without requiring additional capabilities. Each layer should then decide
what can be exposed to everybody. The 'net_admin' boolean is then passed
to the different layers.

On kTLS side, it looks like there is nothing sensitive there: version,
cipher type, tx/rx user config type, plus some flags. So, only some
metadata about the configuration, no cryptographic info like keys, etc.
Then, everything can be exported to all users.

On MPTCP side, that's different. The MPTCP-related sequence numbers per
subflow should certainly not be exposed to everybody. For example, the
DSS mapping and ssn_offset would give all users on the system access to
narrow ranges of values for the subflow TCP sequence numbers and
MPTCP-level DSNs, and then ease packet injection. The TCP diag interface
doesn't expose the TCP sequence numbers for TCP sockets, so best to do
the same here. The rest -- token, IDs, flags -- can be exported to
everybody.

bpf: Prevent unsafe access to the sock fields in the BPF timestamping callback

The subsequent patch will implement BPF TX timestamping. It will
call the sockops BPF program without holding the sock lock.

This breaks the current assumption that all sock ops programs will
hold the sock lock. The sock's fields of the uapi's bpf_sock_ops
requires this assumption.

To address this, a new "u8 is_locked_tcp_sock;" field is added. This
patch sets it in the current sock_ops callbacks. The "is_fullsock"
test is then replaced by the "is_locked_tcp_sock" test during
sock_ops_convert_ctx_access().

The new TX timestamping callbacks added in the subsequent patch will
not have this set. This will prevent unsafe access from the new
timestamping callbacks.

Potentially, we could allow read-only access. However, this would
require identifying which callback is read-safe-only and also requires
additional BPF instruction rewrites in the covert_ctx. Since the BPF
program can always read everything from a socket (e.g., by using
bpf_core_cast), this patch keeps it simple and disables all read
and write access to any socket fields through the bpf_sock_ops
UAPI from the new TX timestamping callback.

Moreover, note that some of the fields in bpf_sock_ops are specific
to tcp_sock, and sock_ops currently only supports tcp_sock. In
the future, UDP timestamping will be added, which will also break
this assumption. The same idea used in this patch will be reused.
Considering that the current sock_ops only supports tcp_sock, the
variable is named is_locked_"tcp"_sock.

tcp: drop secpath at the same time as we currently drop dst

Xiumei reported hitting the WARN in xfrm6_tunnel_net_exit while
running tests that boil down to:
- create a pair of netns
- run a basic TCP test over ipcomp6
- delete the pair of netns

The xfrm_state found on spi_byaddr was not deleted at the time we
delete the netns, because we still have a reference on it. This
lingering reference comes from a secpath (which holds a ref on the
xfrm_state), which is still attached to an skb. This skb is not
leaked, it ends up on sk_receive_queue and then gets defer-free'd by
skb_attempt_defer_free.

The problem happens when we defer freeing an skb (push it on one CPU's
defer_list), and don't flush that list before the netns is deleted. In
that case, we still have a reference on the xfrm_state that we don't
expect at this point.

We already drop the skb's dst in the TCP receive path when it's no
longer needed, so let's also drop the secpath. At this point,
tcp_filter has already called into the LSM hooks that may require the
secpath, so it should not be needed anymore. However, in some of those
places, the MPTCP extension has just been attached to the skb, so we
cannot simply drop all extensions.

bpf: Fix wrong copied_seq calculation

'sk->copied_seq' was updated in the tcp_eat_skb() function when the action
of a BPF program was SK_REDIRECT. For other actions, like SK_PASS, the
update logic for 'sk->copied_seq' was moved to tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser()
to ensure the accuracy of the 'fionread' feature.

It works for a single stream_verdict scenario, as it also modified
sk_data_ready->sk_psock_verdict_data_ready->tcp_read_skb
to remove updating 'sk->copied_seq'.

However, for programs where both stream_parser and stream_verdict are
active (strparser purpose), tcp_read_sock() was used instead of
tcp_read_skb() (sk_data_ready->strp_data_ready->tcp_read_sock).
tcp_read_sock() now still updates 'sk->copied_seq', leading to duplicate
updates.

In summary, for strparser + SK_PASS, copied_seq is redundantly calculated
in both tcp_read_sock() and tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser().

The issue causes incorrect copied_seq calculations, which prevent
correct data reads from the recv() interface in user-land.

We do not want to add new proto_ops to implement a new version of
tcp_read_sock, as this would introduce code complexity [1].

We could have added noack and copied_seq to desc, and then called
ops->read_sock. However, unfortunately, other modules didn’t fully
initialize desc to zero. So, for now, we are directly calling
tcp_read_sock_noack() in tcp_bpf.c.

tcp: check skb is non-NULL in tcp_rto_delta_us()

We have some machines running stock Ubuntu 20.04.6 which is their 5.4.0-174-generic
kernel that are running ceph and recently hit a null ptr dereference in
tcp_rearm_rto(). Initially hitting it from the TLP path, but then later we also
saw it getting hit from the RACK case as well. Here are examples of the oops
messages we saw in each of those cases:

Prior to seeing the first crash and on other machines we also see the warning in
tcp_send_loss_probe() where packets_out is non-zero, but both transmit and retrans
queues are empty so we know the box is seeing some accounting issue in this area:

The NULL ptr deref is coming from tcp_rto_delta_us() attempting to pull an skb
off the head of the retransmit queue and then dereferencing that skb to get the
skb_mstamp_ns value via tcp_skb_timestamp_us(skb).

The crash is the same one that was reported a # of years ago here:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/T/#t

and the kernel we're running has the fix which was added to resolve this issue.

Unfortunately we've been unsuccessful so far in reproducing this problem in the
lab and do not have the luxury of pushing out a new kernel to try and test if
newer kernels resolve this issue at the moment. I realize this is a report
against both an Ubuntu kernel and also an older 5.4 kernel. I have reported this
issue to Ubuntu here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2077657
however I feel like since this issue has possibly cropped up again it makes
sense to build in some protection in this path (even on the latest kernel
versions) since the code in question just blindly assumes there's a valid skb
without testing if it's NULL b/f it looks at the timestamp.

Given we have seen crashes in this path before and now this case it seems like
we should protect ourselves for when packets_out accounting is incorrect.
While we should fix that root cause we should also just make sure the skb
is not NULL before dereferencing it. Also add a warn once here to capture
some information if/when the problem case is hit again.

net: add support for skbs with unreadable frags

For device memory TCP, we expect the skb headers to be available in host
memory for access, and we expect the skb frags to be in device memory
and unaccessible to the host. We expect there to be no mixing and
matching of device memory frags (unaccessible) with host memory frags
(accessible) in the same skb.

Add a skb->devmem flag which indicates whether the frags in this skb
are device memory frags or not.

__skb_fill_netmem_desc() now checks frags added to skbs for net_iov,
and marks the skb as skb->devmem accordingly.

Add checks through the network stack to avoid accessing the frags of
devmem skbs and avoid coalescing devmem skbs with non devmem skbs.
