Stefano Garzarella ac79b1d94a vsock: fix locking in vsock_shutdown()
commit 1c5fae9c9a092574398a17facc31c533791ef232 upstream.

In vsock_shutdown() we touched some socket fields without holding the
socket lock, such as 'state' and 'sk_flags'.

Also, after the introduction of multi-transport, we are accessing
'vsk->transport' in vsock_send_shutdown() without holding the lock
and this call can be made while the connection is in progress, so
the transport can change in the meantime.

To avoid issues, we hold the socket lock when we enter in
vsock_shutdown() and release it when we leave.

Among the transports that implement the 'shutdown' callback, only
hyperv_transport acquired the lock. Since the caller now holds it,
we no longer take it.

Sunil Muthuswamy b96c27b189 hv_sock: Remove the accept port restriction
[ Upstream commit c742c59e1fbd022b64d91aa9a0092b3a699d653c ]

Currently, hv_sock restricts the port the guest socket can accept
connections on. hv_sock divides the socket port namespace into two parts
for server side (listening socket), 0-0x7FFFFFFF & 0x80000000-0xFFFFFFFF
(there are no restrictions on client port namespace). The first part
(0-0x7FFFFFFF) is reserved for sockets where connections can be accepted.
The second part (0x80000000-0xFFFFFFFF) is reserved for allocating ports
for the peer (host) socket, once a connection is accepted.
This reservation of the port namespace is specific to hv_sock and not
known by the generic vsock library (ex: af_vsock). This is problematic
because auto-binds/ephemeral ports are handled by the generic vsock
library and it has no knowledge of this port reservation and could
allocate a port that is not compatible with hv_sock (and legitimately so).
The issue hasn't surfaced so far because the auto-bind code of vsock
(__vsock_bind_stream) prior to the change 'VSOCK: bind to random port for
VMADDR_PORT_ANY' would start walking up from LAST_RESERVED_PORT (1023) and
start assigning ports. That will take a large number of iterations to hit
0x7FFFFFFF. But, after the above change to randomize port selection, the
issue has started coming up more frequently.
There has really been no good reason to have this port reservation logic
in hv_sock from the get go. Reserving a local port for peer ports is not
how things are handled generally. Peer ports should reflect the peer port.
This fixes the issue by lifting the port reservation, and also returns the
right peer port. Since the code converts the GUID to the peer port (by
using the first 4 bytes), there is a possibility of conflicts, but that
seems like a reasonable risk to take, given this is limited to vsock and
that only applies to all local sockets.

Dexuan Cui 685703b497 hv_sock: Fix hang when a connection is closed
There is a race condition for an established connection that is being closed
by the guest: the refcnt is 4 at the end of hvs_release() (Note: here the
'remove_sock' is false):

1 for the initial value;
1 for the sk being in the bound list;
1 for the sk being in the connected list;
1 for the delayed close_work.

After hvs_release() finishes, __vsock_release() -> sock_put(sk) *may*
decrease the refcnt to 3.

Concurrently, hvs_close_connection() runs in another thread:
  calls vsock_remove_sock() to decrease the refcnt by 2;
  call sock_put() to decrease the refcnt to 0, and free the sk;
  next, the "release_sock(sk)" may hang due to use-after-free.

In the above, after hvs_release() finishes, if hvs_close_connection() runs
faster than "__vsock_release() -> sock_put(sk)", then there is not any issue,
because at the beginning of hvs_close_connection(), the refcnt is still 4.

The issue can be resolved if an extra reference is taken when the
connection is established.

Sunil Muthuswamy cb359b6041 hvsock: fix epollout hang from race condition
Currently, hvsock can enter into a state where epoll_wait on EPOLLOUT will
not return even when the hvsock socket is writable, under some race
condition. This can happen under the following sequence:
- fd = socket(hvsocket)
- fd_out = dup(fd)
- fd_in = dup(fd)
- start a writer thread that writes data to fd_out with a combination of
  epoll_wait(fd_out, EPOLLOUT) and
- start a reader thread that reads data from fd_in with a combination of
  epoll_wait(fd_in, EPOLLIN)
- On the host, there are two threads that are reading/writing data to the
  hvsocket

stack:
hvs_stream_has_space
hvs_notify_poll_out
vsock_poll
sock_poll
ep_poll

Race condition:
check for epollout from ep_poll():
	assume no writable space in the socket
	hvs_stream_has_space() returns 0
check for epollin from ep_poll():
	assume socket has some free space < HVS_PKT_LEN(HVS_SEND_BUF_SIZE)
	hvs_stream_has_space() will clear the channel pending send size
	host will not notify the guest because the pending send size has
		been cleared and so the hvsocket will never mark the
		socket writable

Now, the EPOLLOUT will never return even if the socket write buffer is
empty.

The fix is to set the pending size to the default size and never change it.
This way the host will always notify the guest whenever the writable space
is bigger than the pending size. The host is already optimized to *only*
notify the guest when the pending size threshold boundary is crossed and
not everytime.

This change also reduces the cpu usage somewhat since hv_stream_has_space()
is in the hotpath of send:
vsock_stream_sendmsg()->hv_stream_has_space()
Earlier hv_stream_has_space was setting/clearing the pending size on every
call.

Sunil Muthuswamy 14a1eaa882 hv_sock: perf: loop in send() to maximize bandwidth
Currently, the hv_sock send() iterates once over the buffer, puts data into
the VMBUS channel and returns. It doesn't maximize on the case when there
is a simultaneous reader draining data from the channel. In such a case,
the send() can maximize the bandwidth (and consequently minimize the cpu
cycles) by iterating until the channel is found to be full.

Perf data:
Total Data Transfer: 10GB/iteration
Single threaded reader/writer, Linux hvsocket writer with Windows hvsocket
reader
Packet size: 64KB
CPU sys time was captured using the 'time' command for the writer to send
10GB of data.
'Send Buffer Loop' is with the patch applied.
The values below are over 10 iterations.

|--------------------------------------------------------|
|        |        Current        |   Send Buffer Loop    |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|        | Throughput | CPU sys  | Throughput | CPU sys  |

| Median |     446    |   7.417  |    447     |  6.761   |
|--------------------------------------------------------|

Observation:
1. The avg throughput doesn't really change much with this change for this
scenario. This is most probably because the bottleneck on throughput is
somewhere else.
2. The average system (or kernel) cpu time goes down by 10%+ with this
change, for the same amount of data transfer.

Sunil Muthuswamy ac383f58f3 hv_sock: perf: Allow the socket buffer size options to influence the actual socket buffers
Currently, the hv_sock buffer size is static and can't scale to the
bandwidth requirements of the application. This change allows the
applications to influence the socket buffer sizes using the SO_SNDBUF and
the SO_RCVBUF socket options.

Few interesting points to note:
1. Since the VMBUS does not allow a resize operation of the ring size, the
socket buffer size option should be set prior to establishing the
connection for it to take effect.
2. Setting the socket option comes with the cost of that much memory being
reserved/allocated by the kernel, for the lifetime of the connection.

Sunil Muthuswamy a9eeb998c2 hv_sock: Add support for delayed close
Currently, hvsock does not implement any delayed or background close
logic. Whenever the hvsock socket is closed, a FIN is sent to the peer, and
the last reference to the socket is dropped, which leads to a call to
.destruct where the socket can hang indefinitely waiting for the peer to
close it's side. The can cause the user application to hang in the close()
call.

This change implements proper STREAM(TCP) closing handshake mechanism by
sending the FIN to the peer and the waiting for the peer's FIN to arrive
for a given timeout. On timeout, it will try to terminate the connection
(i.e. a RST). This is in-line with other socket providers such as virtio.

This change does not address the hang in the vmbus_hvsock_device_unregister
where it waits indefinitely for the host to rescind the channel. That
should be taken up as a separate fix.

There were quite a few overlapping sets of changes here.

Daniel's bug fix for off-by-ones in the new BPF branch instructions,
along with the added allowances for "data_end > ptr + x" forms
collided with the metadata additions.

Along with those three changes came veritifer test cases, which in
their final form I tried to group together properly.  If I had just
trimmed GIT's conflict tags as-is, this would have split up the
meta tests unnecessarily.

In the socketmap code, a set of preemption disabling changes
overlapped with the rename of bpf_compute_data_end() to
bpf_compute_data_pointers().

Changes were made to the mv88e6060.c driver set addr method
which got removed in net-next.

which overlapped with a change of socket state macro usage
in 'net-next'.

when the userspace closes the connection quickly, hvs_release() may not see
the connection in the connected queue; finally hvs_open_connection()
inserts the connection into the queue, but we won't be able to purge the
connection for ever.

Stefan Hajnoczi 3b4477d2dc VSOCK: use TCP state constants for sk_state
There are two state fields: socket->state and sock->sk_state.  The
socket->state field uses SS_UNCONNECTED, SS_CONNECTED, etc while the
sock->sk_state typically uses values that match TCP state constants
(TCP_CLOSE, TCP_ESTABLISHED).  AF_VSOCK does not follow this convention
and instead uses SS_* constants for both fields.

The sk_state field will be exposed to userspace through the vsock_diag
interface for ss(8), netstat(8), and other programs.

This patch switches sk_state to TCP state constants so that the meaning
of this field is consistent with other address families.  Not just
AF_INET and AF_INET6 use the TCP constants, AF_UNIX and others do too.

The following mapping was used to convert the code:

  SS_FREE -> TCP_CLOSE
  SS_UNCONNECTED -> TCP_CLOSE
  SS_CONNECTING -> TCP_SYN_SENT
  SS_CONNECTED -> TCP_ESTABLISHED
  SS_DISCONNECTING -> TCP_CLOSING
  VSOCK_SS_LISTEN -> TCP_LISTEN

In __vsock_create() the sk_state initialization was dropped because
sock_init_data() already initializes sk_state to TCP_CLOSE.

Dexuan Cui ae0078fcf0 hv_sock: implements Hyper-V transport for Virtual Sockets (AF_VSOCK)
Hyper-V Sockets (hv_sock) supplies a byte-stream based communication
mechanism between the host and the guest. It uses VMBus ringbuffer as the
transportation layer.

With hv_sock, applications between the host (Windows 10, Windows Server
2016 or newer) and the guest can talk with each other using the traditional
socket APIs.

More info about Hyper-V Sockets is available here:

"Make your own integration services":
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/user-guide/make-integration-service

The patch implements the necessary support in Linux guest by introducing a new
vsock transport for AF_VSOCK.
