Previously we wouldn't release the buffer back to the network adapter
in all cases. While this didn't leak the buffer it would cause the
buffer to not be reused for other packets.
Previously we'd just dump those packets into the network adapter's
send queue and hope for the best. Instead we should wait until the peer
has sent TCP ACK packets.
Ideally this would parse the TCP window size option from the SYN or
SYN|ACK packet, but for now we just assume the window size is 64 kB.
Previously we'd allocate buffers when sending packets. This patch
avoids these allocations by using the NetworkAdapter's packet queue.
At the same time this also avoids copying partially constructed
packets in order to prepend Ethernet and/or IPv4 headers. It also
properly truncates UDP and raw IP packets.
Previously TCPSocket::send_tcp_packet() would try to send TCP packets
which matched whatever size the userspace program specified. We'd try to
break those packets up into smaller fragments, however a much better
approach is to limit TCP packets to the maximum segment size and
avoid fragmentation altogether.
Problem:
- `static` variables consume memory and sometimes are less
optimizable.
- `static const` variables can be `constexpr`, usually.
- `static` function-local variables require an initialization check
every time the function is run.
Solution:
- If a global `static` variable is only used in a single function then
move it into the function and make it non-`static` and `constexpr`.
- Make all global `static` variables `constexpr` instead of `const`.
- Change function-local `static const[expr]` variables to be just
`constexpr`.
Previously we didn't retransmit lost TCP packets which would cause
connections to hang if packets were lost. Also we now time out
TCP connections after a number of retransmission attempts.
Avoid holding the sockets_by_tuple lock while allocating the TCPSocket.
While checking if the list contains the item we can also hold the lock
in shared mode, as we are only reading the hash table.
In addition the call to from_tuple appears to be superfluous, as we
created the socket, so we should be able to just return it directly.
This avoids the recursive lock acquisition, as well as the unnecessary
hash table lookups.
Note that the changes to IPv4Socket::create are unfortunately needed as
the return type of TCPSocket::create and IPv4Socket::create don't match.
- KResultOr<NonnullRefPtr<TcpSocket>>>
vs
- KResultOr<NonnullRefPtr<Socket>>>
To handle this we are forced to manually decompose the KResultOr<T> and
return the value() and error() separately.
When the MSS option header is missing the default maximum segment
size is 536 which results in lots of very small TCP packets that
NetworkTask has to handle.
This adds the MSS option header to outbound TCP SYN packets and
sets it to an appropriate value depending on the interface's MTU.
Note that we do not currently do path MTU discovery so this could
cause problems when hops don't fragment packets properly.
This increases the default TCP window size to a more reasonable
value of 64k. This allows TCP peers to send us more packets before
waiting for corresponding ACKs.
Without this patch we end up with sockets in the listener's accept
queue with state 'closed' when doing stealth SYN scans:
Client -> Server: SYN for port 22
Server -> Client: SYN/ACK
Client -> Server: RST (i.e. don't complete the TCP handshake)

(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
Since the payload size is user-controlled, this could be used to
overflow the kernel stack.
We should probably also be breaking things into smaller packets at a
higher level, e.g TCPSocket::protocol_send(), but let's do that as
a separate exercise.
Fixes#5310.
This was done with the help of several scripts, I dump them here to
easily find them later:
awk '/#ifdef/ { print "#cmakedefine01 "$2 }' AK/Debug.h.in
for debug_macro in $(awk '/#ifdef/ { print $2 }' AK/Debug.h.in)
do
find . \( -name '*.cpp' -o -name '*.h' -o -name '*.in' \) -not -path './Toolchain/*' -not -path './Build/*' -exec sed -i -E 's/#ifdef '$debug_macro'/#if '$debug_macro'/' {} \;
done
# Remember to remove WRAPPER_GERNERATOR_DEBUG from the list.
awk '/#cmake/ { print "set("$2" ON)" }' AK/Debug.h.in
..and allow implicit creation of KResult and KResultOr from ErrnoCode.
This means that kernel functions that return those types can finally
do "return EINVAL;" and it will just work.
There's a handful of functions that still deal with signed integers
that should be converted to return KResults.
Problem:
- Many constructors are defined as `{}` rather than using the ` =
default` compiler-provided constructor.
- Some types provide an implicit conversion operator from `nullptr_t`
instead of requiring the caller to default construct. This violates
the C++ Core Guidelines suggestion to declare single-argument
constructors explicit
(https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#c46-by-default-declare-single-argument-constructors-explicit).
Solution:
- Change default constructors to use the compiler-provided default
constructor.
- Remove implicit conversion operators from `nullptr_t` and change
usage to enforce type consistency without conversion.
These changes are arbitrarily divided into multiple commits to make it
easier to find potentially introduced bugs with git bisect.Everything:
The modifications in this commit were automatically made using the
following command:
find . -name '*.cpp' -exec sed -i -E 's/dbg\(\) << ("[^"{]*");/dbgln\(\1\);/' {} \;
Compared to version 10 this fixes a bunch of formatting issues, mostly
around structs/classes with attributes like [[gnu::packed]], and
incorrect insertion of spaces in parameter types ("T &"/"T &&").
I also removed a bunch of // clang-format off/on and FIXME comments that
are no longer relevant - on the other hand it tried to destroy a couple of
neatly formatted comments, so I had to add some as well.
Problem:
- `(void)` simply casts the expression to void. This is understood to
indicate that it is ignored, but this is really a compiler trick to
get the compiler to not generate a warning.
Solution:
- Use the `[[maybe_unused]]` attribute to indicate the value is unused.
Note:
- Functions taking a `(void)` argument list have also been changed to
`()` because this is not needed and shows up in the same grep
command.
The overrides of this function don't need to know how the original
packet was stored, so let's just give them a ReadonlyBytes view of
the raw packet data.
This makes the Scheduler a lot leaner by not having to evaluate
block conditions every time it is invoked. Instead evaluate them as
the states change, and unblock threads at that point.
This also implements some more waitid/waitpid/wait features and
behavior. For example, WUNTRACED and WNOWAIT are now supported. And
wait will now not return EINTR when SIGCHLD is delivered at the
same time.
This makes most operations thread safe, especially so that they
can safely be used in the Kernel. This includes obtaining a strong
reference from a weak reference, which now requires an explicit
call to WeakPtr::strong_ref(). Another major change is that
Weakable::make_weak_ref() may require the explicit target type.
Previously we used reinterpret_cast in WeakPtr, assuming that it
can be properly converted. But WeakPtr does not necessarily have
the knowledge to be able to do this. Instead, we now ask the class
itself to deliver a WeakPtr to the type that we want.
Also, WeakLink is no longer specific to a target type. The reason
for this is that we want to be able to safely convert e.g. WeakPtr<T>
to WeakPtr<U>, and before this we just reinterpret_cast the internal
WeakLink<T> to WeakLink<U>, which is a bold assumption that it would
actually produce the correct code. Instead, WeakLink now operates
on just a raw pointer and we only make those constructors/operators
available if we can verify that it can be safely cast.
In order to guarantee thread safety, we now use the least significant
bit in the pointer for locking purposes. This also means that only
properly aligned pointers can be used.
This fixes an issue where making a TCP connection to localhost didn't
work correctly since the loopback interface is currently synchronous.
(Sending something to localhost would enqueue a packet on the same
interface and then immediately wake the network task to process that
packet.)
This was preventing the TCP handshake from working correctly with
localhost since we'd send out the SYN packet before moving to the
SynSent state. The lock is now held long enough for this operation
to be atomic.
Since the CPU already does almost all necessary validation steps
for us, we don't really need to attempt to do this. Doing it
ourselves doesn't really work very reliably, because we'd have to
account for other processors modifying virtual memory, and we'd
have to account for e.g. pages not being able to be allocated
due to insufficient resources.
So change the copy_to/from_user (and associated helper functions)
to use the new safe_memcpy, which will return whether it succeeded
or not. The only manual validation step needed (which the CPU
can't perform for us) is making sure the pointers provided by user
mode aren't pointing to kernel mappings.
To make it easier to read/write from/to either kernel or user mode
data add the UserOrKernelBuffer helper class, which will internally
either use copy_from/to_user or directly memcpy, or pass the data
through directly using a temporary buffer on the stack.
Last but not least we need to keep syscall params trivial as we
need to copy them from/to user mode using copy_from/to_user.
