<id>urn:sha1:a4b5cc9e10803ecba64a7d54c0f47e4564b4a980</id>
<content type='text'>
I confirmed that the problem fixed by commit 2a63866c8b51a3f7 ("tipc: fix
shutdown() of connectionless socket") also applies to stream socket.

----------
#include &lt;sys/socket.h&gt;
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/wait.h&gt;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        int fds[2] = { -1, -1 };
        socketpair(PF_TIPC, SOCK_STREAM /* or SOCK_DGRAM */, 0, fds);
        if (fork() == 0)
                _exit(read(fds[0], NULL, 1));
        shutdown(fds[0], SHUT_RDWR); /* This must make read() return. */
        wait(NULL); /* To be woken up by _exit(). */
        return 0;
}
----------

Since shutdown(SHUT_RDWR) should affect all processes sharing that socket,
unconditionally setting sk-&gt;sk_shutdown to SHUTDOWN_MASK will be the right
behavior.

<content type='text'>
syzbot is reporting hung task at nbd_ioctl() [1], for there are two
problems regarding TIPC's connectionless socket's shutdown() operation.

----------
#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/socket.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/ioctl.h&gt;
#include &lt;linux/nbd.h&gt;
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        const int fd = open("/dev/nbd0", 3);
        alarm(5);
        ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SOCK, socket(PF_TIPC, SOCK_DGRAM, 0));
        ioctl(fd, NBD_DO_IT, 0); /* To be interrupted by SIGALRM. */
        return 0;
}
----------

One problem is that wait_for_completion() from flush_workqueue() from
nbd_start_device_ioctl() from nbd_ioctl() cannot be completed when
nbd_start_device_ioctl() received a signal at wait_event_interruptible(),
for tipc_shutdown() from kernel_sock_shutdown(SHUT_RDWR) from
nbd_mark_nsock_dead() from sock_shutdown() from nbd_start_device_ioctl()
is failing to wake up a WQ thread sleeping at wait_woken() from
tipc_wait_for_rcvmsg() from sock_recvmsg() from sock_xmit() from
nbd_read_stat() from recv_work() scheduled by nbd_start_device() from
nbd_start_device_ioctl(). Fix this problem by always invoking
sk-&gt;sk_state_change() (like inet_shutdown() does) when tipc_shutdown() is
called.

The other problem is that tipc_wait_for_rcvmsg() cannot return when
tipc_shutdown() is called, for tipc_shutdown() sets sk-&gt;sk_shutdown to
SEND_SHUTDOWN (despite "how" is SHUT_RDWR) while tipc_wait_for_rcvmsg()
needs sk-&gt;sk_shutdown set to RCV_SHUTDOWN or SHUTDOWN_MASK. Fix this
problem by setting sk-&gt;sk_shutdown to SHUTDOWN_MASK (like inet_shutdown()
does) when the socket is connectionless.

syzbot found the following issue:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6808 at include/linux/thread_info.h:150 check_copy_size include/linux/thread_info.h:150 [inline]
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6808 at include/linux/thread_info.h:150 copy_from_iter include/linux/uio.h:144 [inline]

Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ...

This happens after commit 5e9eeccc58f3 ("tipc: fix NULL pointer
dereference in streaming") that tried to build at least one buffer even
when the message data length is zero... However, it now exposes another
bug that the 'mss' can be zero and the 'cpy' will be negative, thus the
above kernel WARNING will appear!
The zero value of 'mss' is never expected because it means Nagle is not
enabled for the socket (actually the socket type was 'SOCK_SEQPACKET'),
so the function 'tipc_msg_append()' must not be called at all. But that
was in this particular case since the message data length was zero, and
the 'send &lt;= maxnagle' check became true.

We resolve the issue by explicitly checking if Nagle is enabled for the
socket, i.e. 'maxnagle != 0' before calling the 'tipc_msg_append()'. We
also reinforce the function to against such a negative values if any.

<id>urn:sha1:0a3e060f340dbe232ffa290c40f879b7f7db595b</id>
<content type='text'>
When streaming in Nagle mode, we try to bundle small messages from user
as many as possible if there is one outstanding buffer, i.e. not ACK-ed
by the receiving side, which helps boost up the overall throughput. So,
the algorithm's effectiveness really depends on when Nagle ACK comes or
what the specific network latency (RTT) is, compared to the user's
message sending rate.

In a bad case, the user's sending rate is low or the network latency is
small, there will not be many bundles, so making a Nagle ACK or waiting
for it is not meaningful.
For example: a user sends its messages every 100ms and the RTT is 50ms,
then for each messages, we require one Nagle ACK but then there is only
one user message sent without any bundles.

In a better case, even if we have a few bundles (e.g. the RTT = 300ms),
but now the user sends messages in medium size, then there will not be
any difference at all, that says 3 x 1000-byte data messages if bundled
will still result in 3 bundles with MTU = 1500.

When Nagle is ineffective, the delay in user message sending is clearly
wasted instead of sending directly.

Besides, adding Nagle ACKs will consume some processor load on both the
sending and receiving sides.

This commit adds a test on the effectiveness of the Nagle algorithm for
an individual connection in the network on which it actually runs.
Particularly, upon receipt of a Nagle ACK we will compare the number of
bundles in the backlog queue to the number of user messages which would
be sent directly without Nagle. If the ratio is good (e.g. &gt;= 2), Nagle
mode will be kept for further message sending. Otherwise, we will leave
Nagle and put a 'penalty' on the connection, so it will have to spend
more 'one-way' messages before being able to re-enter Nagle.

In addition, the 'ack-required' bit is only set when really needed that
the number of Nagle ACKs will be reduced during Nagle mode.

Testing with benchmark showed that with the patch, there was not much
difference in throughput for small messages since the tool continuously
sends messages without a break, so Nagle would still take in effect.
