Hi Arseny,
the series looks great, I have just a question below about
seqpacket_dequeue.
I also sent a couple a simple fixes, it would be great if you can review
them:

Callback fetches RW packets from rx queue of socket until whole record
is copied(if user's buffer is full, user is not woken up). This is done
to not stall sender, because if we wake up user and it leaves syscall,
nobody will send credit update for rest of record, and sender will wait
for next enter of read syscall at receiver's side. So if user buffer is
full, we just send credit update and drop data.

v10 -> v11:
1) 'msg_count' field added to count current number of EORs.
2) 'msg_ready' argument removed from callback.
3) If 'memcpy_to_msg()' failed during copy loop, there will be
no next attempts to copy data, rest of record will be freed.

If we fail to copy the message we will discard the entire packet.
Is it acceptable for the user point of view, or we should leave the
packet in the queue and the user can retry, maybe with a different
buffer?
Then we can remove the packets only when we successfully copied all the
fragments.
I'm not sure make sense, maybe better to check also other
implementations :-)
Thanks,
Stefano
Understand, i'll check it on weekend, anyway I think it is
not critical for implementation.
Yep, I agree.
I have another question: may be it is useful to research for
approach where packets are not queued until whole message
is received, but copied to user's buffer thus freeing memory.
(like previous implementation, of course with solution of problem
where part of message still in queue, while reader was woken
by timeout or signal).
I think it is better, because in current version, sender may set
'peer_alloc_buf' to for example 1MB, so at receiver we get
1MB of 'kmalloc()' memory allocated, while having user's buffer
to copy data there or drop it(if user's buffer is full). This way
won't change spec(e.g. no message id or SEQ_BEGIN will be added).
What do You think?
Yep, I see your point and it would be great, but I think the main issues
to fix is how to handle a signal while we are waiting other fragments
since the other peer can take unspecified time to send them.
What about transport callback, something like 'seqpacket_drain()' or
'seqpacket_drop_curr()' - when we got signal or timeout, notify transport
to drop current message. In virtio case this will set special flag in transport,
so on next dequeue, this flag is checked and if it is set - we drop all packets
until EOR found. Then we can copy untouched new record.
But in this way, we will lose the entire message.
Is it acceptable for seqpacket?
Stefano
Hm, i'll check it. At least for unix domain sockets - it supports SEQPACKET
Hello, i've checked AF_UNIX and AF_AX25 SEQPACKET implementations,
Great! Thanks for checking!
in both cases:
1) Datagram is dequeued first, then copied to user's buffer.
2) Datagram is also freed when copying to user's buffer fail
(it is not reinserted back).
But, in case of virtio vsock, i've got the following concern in
this approach: in cases of AF_UNIX or AF_AX25 there is maximum
datagram size, strictly limited by spec, so no 'setsockopt()' call allows
to exceed this. Also these limits are significantly smaller that current
amounts of RAM. But, in our case, there is no such limit: peer could
say 'i want to use 100MB datagram', and receiver just answer 'ok',
The receiver sets the limit of its receive buffer and tells the
transmitter that it should not exceed it. The default should be 256 KB,
so IIUC this scenario can happen only if the receiver do a
'setsockopt()' increasing the limit to 100MB. Right?
Maybe we should limit it.
as there is just variable assignment to setup new limit. Now, consider
that there will be 10 peers, 100MB each(no one limit such request,
because each socket doesn't know about each other). I think we get
out-of-service in this case - all kmalloc() memory will be wasted for
pending record.
I still think, that approach when we copy data from packet to user's
buffer without waiting EOR is better.
Okay, in this way we can remove the receive buffer limit and maybe if we
receive a signal, we can set MSG_TRUNC, return the partially received
packet to the user, but we must free any next fragments.
So, as you proposed, we need a `seqpacket_drop()` to tell to the
transport that if we were copying an uncompleted message, then it should
delete the queued fragments and any others until the next EOR.
Also i'll rebase QEMU patch today or tomorrow.
Great, please CC me, this is something high priority to test
SOCK_SEQPACKET with a guest.
What do You Think?
I'm fine with both, but I slightly prefer the approach we implemented
because it's easier to handle.
Thanks,
Stefano
