Add libceph support for a new CRUSH tunable recently added to Ceph servers.
Consider the CRUSH rule
step chooseleaf firstn 0 type <node_type>
This rule means that <n> replicas will be chosen in a manner such that
each chosen leaf's branch will contain a unique instance of <node_type>.
When an object is re-replicated after a leaf failure, if the CRUSH map uses
a chooseleaf rule the remapped replica ends up under the <node_type> bucket
that held the failed leaf. This causes uneven data distribution across the
storage cluster, to the point that when all the leaves but one fail under a
particular <node_type> bucket, that remaining leaf holds all the data from
its failed peers.
This behavior also limits the number of peers that can participate in the
re-replication of the data held by the failed leaf, which increases the
time required to re-replicate after a failure.
For a chooseleaf CRUSH rule, the tree descent has two steps: call them the
inner and outer descents.
If the tree descent down to <node_type> is the outer descent, and the descent
from <node_type> down to a leaf is the inner descent, the issue is that a
down leaf is detected on the inner descent, so only the inner descent is
retried.
In order to disperse re-replicated data as widely as possible across a
storage cluster after a failure, we want to retry the outer descent. So,
fix up crush_choose() to allow the inner descent to return immediately on
choosing a failed leaf. Wire this up as a new CRUSH tunable.
Note that after this change, for a chooseleaf rule, if the primary OSD
in a placement group has failed, choosing a replacement may result in
one of the other OSDs in the PG colliding with the new primary. This
requires that OSD's data for that PG to need moving as well. This
seems unavoidable but should be relatively rare.

A number of assertions in the ceph messenger are implemented with

Convert all BUG_ON(con->state...) calls to be WARN_ON(con->state...)
so we learn about these issues without killing the machine.
We now recognize that a connection fault can occur due to a socket
closure at any time, regardless of the state of the connection. So
there is really nothing we can assert about the state of the
connection at that point so eliminate that assertion.

When ceph_osdc_handle_map() is called to process a new osd map,
kick_requests() is called to ensure all affected requests are
updated if necessary to reflect changes in the osd map. This
happens in two cases: whenever an incremental map update is
processed; and when a full map update (or the last one if there is
more than one) gets processed.
In the former case, the kick_requests() call is followed immediately
by a call to reset_changed_osds() to ensure any connections to osds
affected by the map change are reset. But for full map updates
this isn't done.
Both cases should be doing this osd reset.
Rather than duplicating the reset_changed_osds() call, move it into
the end of kick_requests().

Reviewed-by: Sage Weil <sage@inktank.com>
The kick_requests() function is called by ceph_osdc_handle_map()
when an osd map change has been indicated. Its purpose is to
re-queue any request whose target osd is different from what it
was when it was originally sent.
It is structured as two loops, one for incomplete but registered
requests, and a second for handling completed linger requests.
As a special case, in the first loop if a request marked to linger
has not yet completed, it is moved from the request list to the
linger list. This is as a quick and dirty way to have the second
loop handle sending the request along with all the other linger
requests.
Because of the way it's done now, however, this quick and dirty
solution can result in these incomplete linger requests never
getting re-sent as desired. The problem lies in the fact that
the second loop only arranges for a linger request to be sent
if it appears its target osd has changed. This is the proper
handling for *completed* linger requests (it avoids issuing
the same linger request twice to the same osd).
But although the linger requests added to the list in the first loop
may have been sent, they have not yet completed, so they need to be
re-sent regardless of whether their target osd has changed.
The first required fix is we need to avoid calling __map_request()
on any incomplete linger request. Otherwise the subsequent
__map_request() call in the second loop will find the target osd
has not changed and will therefore not re-send the request.
Second, we need to be sure that a sent but incomplete linger request
gets re-sent. If the target osd is the same with the new osd map as
it was when the request was originally sent, this won't happen.
This can be fixed through careful handling when we move these
requests from the request list to the linger list, by unregistering
the request *before* it is registered as a linger request. This
works because a side-effect of unregistering the request is to make
the request's r_osd pointer be NULL, and *that* will ensure the
second loop actually re-sends the linger request.
Processing of such a request is done at that point, so continue with
the next one once it's been moved.

This would reset a connection with any OSD that had an outstanding

In reality, this only served to hide server bugs, and we haven't
actually seen such a bug in quite a while. Moreover, the userspace
client code never did this.
More importantly, often the request is taking a long time because the
OSD is trying to recover, or overloaded, and killing the connection

more work to do.

This patch defines a single function, queue_con_delay() to call
queue_delayed_work() for a connection. It basically generalizes
what was previously queue_con() by adding the delay argument.
queue_con() is now a simple helper that passes 0 for its delay.
queue_con_delay() returns 0 if it queued work or an errno if it
did not for some reason.
If con_work() finds the BACKOFF flag set for a connection, it now
calls queue_con_delay() to handle arranging to start again after a
delay.
Note about connection reference counts: con_work() only ever gets
called as a work item function. At the time that work is scheduled,
a reference to the connection is acquired, and the corresponding
con_work() call is then responsible for dropping that reference
before it returns.
Previously, the backoff handling inside con_work() silently handed
off its reference to delayed work it scheduled. Now that
queue_con_delay() is used, a new reference is acquired for the
newly-scheduled work, and the original reference is dropped by the
con->ops->put() call at the end of the function.

If ceph_fault() is unable to queue work after a delay, it sets the
BACKOFF connection flag so con_work() will attempt to do so.
In con_work(), when BACKOFF is set, if queue_delayed_work() doesn't
result in newly-queued work, it simply ignores this condition and
proceeds as if no backoff delay were desired. There are two
problems with this--one of which is a bug.
The first problem is simply that the intended behavior is to back
off, and if we aren't able queue the work item to run after a delay
we're not doing that.
The only reason queue_delayed_work() won't queue work is if the
provided work item is already queued. In the messenger, this
means that con_work() is already scheduled to be run again. So
if we simply set the BACKOFF flag again when this occurs, we know
the next con_work() call will again attempt to hold off activity
on the connection until after the delay.
The second problem--the bug--is a leak of a reference count. If
queue_delayed_work() returns 0 in con_work(), con->ops->put() drops
the connection reference held on entry to con_work(). However,
processing is (was) allowed to continue, and at the end of the
function a second con->ops->put() is called.
This patch fixes both problems.

1) Eric Dumazet discovered and fixed what turned out to be a family of
bugs. These functions were using pskb_may_pull() which might need
to reallocate the linear SKB data buffer, but the callers were not
expecting this possibility. The callers have cached pointers to the
packet header areas, and would need to reload them if we were to
continue using pskb_may_pull().
So they could end up reading garbage.
It's easier to just change these RAW4/RAW6/MIP6 routines to use
skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull(), which won't modify
the linear SKB data area.
2) Dave Jone's syscall spammer caught a case where a non-TCP socket can

xfrm_alloc_replay_state_esn(). No need to copy it again.

The current code fails to ensure that the netlink message actually
contains as many bytes as the header indicates. If a user creates a new
state or updates an existing one but does not supply the bytes for the
whole ESN replay window, the kernel copies random heap bytes into the
replay bitmap, the ones happen to follow the XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL
netlink attribute. This leads to following issues:
1. The replay window has random bits set confusing the replay handling
code later on.
2. A malicious user could use this flaw to leak up to ~3.5kB of heap
memory when she has access to the XFRM netlink interface (requires
CAP_NET_ADMIN).
Known users of the ESN replay window are strongSwan and Steffen's
iproute2 patch (<http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/85962/>). The latter
uses the interface with a bitmap supplied while the former does not.
strongSwan is therefore prone to run into issue 1.
To fix both issues without breaking existing userland allow using the
XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL netlink attribute with either an empty bitmap or a
fully specified one. For the former case we initialize the in-kernel
bitmap with zero, for the latter we copy the user supplied bitmap. For
state updates the full bitmap must be supplied.
To prevent overflows in the bitmap length calculation the maximum size
of bmp_len is limited to 128 by this patch -- resulting in a maximum
replay window of 4096 packets. This should be sufficient for all real
life scenarios (RFC 4303 recommends a default replay window size of 64).
