Mina Almasry 173e7622cc Revert "net: mirror skb frag ref/unref helpers"
This reverts commit a580ea994f.

This revert is to resolve Dragos's report of page_pool leak here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240424165646.1625690-2-dtatulea@nvidia.com/

The reverted patch interacts very badly with commit 2cc3aeb5ec ("skbuff:
Fix a potential race while recycling page_pool packets"). The reverted
commit hopes that the pp_recycle + is_pp_page variables do not change
between the skb_frag_ref and skb_frag_unref operation. If such a change
occurs, the skb_frag_ref/unref will not operate on the same reference type.
In the case of Dragos's report, the grabbed ref was a pp ref, but the unref
was a page ref, because the pp_recycle setting on the skb was changed.

Attempting to fix this issue on the fly is risky. Lets revert and I hope
to reland this with better understanding and testing to ensure we don't
regress some edge case while streamlining skb reffing.

Mina Almasry a580ea994f net: mirror skb frag ref/unref helpers
Refactor some of the skb frag ref/unref helpers for improved clarity.

Implement napi_pp_get_page() to be the mirror counterpart of
napi_pp_put_page().

Implement skb_page_ref() to be the mirror of skb_page_unref().

Improve __skb_frag_ref() to become a mirror counterpart of
__skb_frag_unref(). Previously unref could handle pp & non-pp pages,
while the ref could only handle non-pp pages. Now both the ref & unref
helpers can correctly handle both pp & non-pp pages.

Now that __skb_frag_ref() can handle both pp & non-pp pages, remove
skb_pp_frag_ref(), and use __skb_frag_ref() instead.  This lets us
remove pp specific handling from skb_try_coalesce.

Additionally, since __skb_frag_ref() can now handle both pp & non-pp
pages, a latent issue in skb_shift() should now be fixed. Previously
this function would do a non-pp ref & pp unref on potential pp frags
(fragfrom). After this patch, skb_shift() should correctly do a pp
ref/unref on pp frags.

Mina Almasry f6d827b180 net: move skb ref helpers to new header
Add a new header, linux/skbuff_ref.h, which contains all the skb_*_ref()
helpers. Many of the consumers of skbuff.h do not actually use any of
the skb ref helpers, and we can speed up compilation a bit by minimizing
this header file.

Additionally in the later patch in the series we add page_pool support
to skb_frag_ref(), which requires some page_pool dependencies. We can
now add these dependencies to skbuff_ref.h instead of a very ubiquitous
skbuff.h

Maxim Mikityanskiy 94ce3b64c6 net/tls: Use RCU API to access tls_ctx->netdev
Currently, tls_device_down synchronizes with tls_device_resync_rx using
RCU, however, the pointer to netdev is stored using WRITE_ONCE and
loaded using READ_ONCE.

Although such approach is technically correct (rcu_dereference is
essentially a READ_ONCE, and rcu_assign_pointer uses WRITE_ONCE to store
NULL), using special RCU helpers for pointers is more valid, as it
includes additional checks and might change the implementation
transparently to the callers.

Mark the netdev pointer as __rcu and use the correct RCU helpers to
access it. For non-concurrent access pass the right conditions that
guarantee safe access (locks taken, refcount value). Also use the
correct helper in mlx5e, where even READ_ONCE was missing.

The transition to RCU exposes existing issues, fixed by this commit:

1. bond_tls_device_xmit could read netdev twice, and it could become
NULL the second time, after the NULL check passed.

2. Drivers shouldn't stop processing the last packet if tls_device_down
just set netdev to NULL, before tls_dev_del was called. This prevents a
possible packet drop when transitioning to the fallback software mode.

Maxim Mikityanskiy c55dcdd435 net/tls: Fix use-after-free after the TLS device goes down and up
When a netdev with active TLS offload goes down, tls_device_down is
called to stop the offload and tear down the TLS context. However, the
socket stays alive, and it still points to the TLS context, which is now
deallocated. If a netdev goes up, while the connection is still active,
and the data flow resumes after a number of TCP retransmissions, it will
lead to a use-after-free of the TLS context.

This commit addresses this bug by keeping the context alive until its
normal destruction, and implements the necessary fallbacks, so that the
connection can resume in software (non-offloaded) kTLS mode.

On the TX side tls_sw_fallback is used to encrypt all packets. The RX
side already has all the necessary fallbacks, because receiving
non-decrypted packets is supported. The thing needed on the RX side is
to block resync requests, which are normally produced after receiving
non-decrypted packets.

The necessary synchronization is implemented for a graceful teardown:
first the fallbacks are deployed, then the driver resources are released
(it used to be possible to have a tls_dev_resync after tls_dev_del).

A new flag called TLS_RX_DEV_DEGRADED is added to indicate the fallback
mode. It's used to skip the RX resync logic completely, as it becomes
useless, and some objects may be released (for example, resync_async,
which is allocated and freed by the driver).

While offloading TLS connections, drivers need to handle the case where

Other drivers obtain the entire TLS record for the specific skb to

out of order encryption entirely on the host.

To achieve this, export the already existing software encryption

Unlike atomic_add(), refcount_add() does not deal well

the skb and is very likely to shrink the truesize, leading to:

Once wmem_allocated count saturates the application can no longer
send data on the socket.  This is similar to Eric's fixes for GSO,
TCP:
commit 7ec318feee ("tcp: gso: avoid refcount_t warning from tcp_gso_segment()")
and UDP:
commit 575b65bc5b ("udp: avoid refcount_t saturation in __udp_gso_segment()").

Unlike the GSO case, for TLS fallback it's likely that the skb has
shrunk, so the "likely" annotation is the other way around (likely
branch being "sub").

Boris Pismenny 4799ac81e5 tls: Add rx inline crypto offload
This patch completes the generic infrastructure to offload TLS crypto to a
network device. It enables the kernel to skip decryption and
authentication of some skbs marked as decrypted by the NIC. In the fast
path, all packets received are decrypted by the NIC and the performance
is comparable to plain TCP.

This infrastructure doesn't require a TCP offload engine. Instead, the
NIC only decrypts packets that contain the expected TCP sequence number.
Out-Of-Order TCP packets are provided unmodified. As a result, at the
worst case a received TLS record consists of both plaintext and ciphertext
packets. These partially decrypted records must be reencrypted,
only to be decrypted.

The notable differences between SW KTLS Rx and this offload are as
follows:
1. Partial decryption - Software must handle the case of a TLS record
that was only partially decrypted by HW. This can happen due to packet
reordering.
2. Resynchronization - tls_read_size calls the device driver to
resynchronize HW after HW lost track of TLS record framing in
the TCP stream.

network device. It enables the kernel TLS socket to skip encryption
and authentication operations on the transmit side of the data path.
Leaving those computationally expensive operations to the NIC.

The NIC offload infrastructure builds TLS records and pushes them to
the TCP layer just like the SW KTLS implementation and using the same
API.
TCP segmentation is mostly unaffected. Currently the only exception is
that we prevent mixed SKBs where only part of the payload requires
offload. In the future we are likely to add a similar restriction
following a change cipher spec record.

The notable differences between SW KTLS and NIC offloaded TLS
implementations are as follows:
1. The offloaded implementation builds "plaintext TLS record", those
records contain plaintext instead of ciphertext and place holder bytes
instead of authentication tags.
2. The offloaded implementation maintains a mapping from TCP sequence
number to TLS records. Thus given a TCP SKB sent from a NIC offloaded
TLS socket, we can use the tls NIC offload infrastructure to obtain
enough context to encrypt the payload of the SKB.
A TLS record is released when the last byte of the record is ack'ed,
this is done through the new icsk_clean_acked callback.

The infrastructure should be extendable to support various NIC offload
implementations.  However it is currently written with the
implementation below in mind:
The NIC assumes that packets from each offloaded stream are sent as
plaintext and in-order. It keeps track of the TLS records in the TCP
stream. When a packet marked for offload is transmitted, the NIC
encrypts the payload in-place and puts authentication tags in the
relevant place holders.

The responsibility for handling out-of-order packets (i.e. TCP
retransmission, qdisc drops) falls on the netdev driver.

The netdev driver keeps track of the expected TCP SN from the NIC's
perspective.  If the next packet to transmit matches the expected TCP
SN, the driver advances the expected TCP SN, and transmits the packet
with TLS offload indication.

If the next packet to transmit does not match the expected TCP SN. The
driver calls the TLS layer to obtain the TLS record that includes the
TCP of the packet for transmission. Using this TLS record, the driver
posts a work entry on the transmit queue to reconstruct the NIC TLS
state required for the offload of the out-of-order packet. It updates
the expected TCP SN accordingly and transmits the now in-order packet.
The same queue is used for packet transmission and TLS context
reconstruction to avoid the need for flushing the transmit queue before
issuing the context reconstruction request.
