[ Upstream commit 2cba193628fe523cee6dd61938db2c4563ce15a9 ]

None of the udp_tunnel users need struct socket in their
fast paths; it is only used for tunnel setup / teardown.

Even setup_udp_tunnel_sock() does not need struct socket.

Let's change setup_udp_tunnel_sock() to take struct sock
instead of struct socket.

[ Upstream commit 944bfc1b1c6fe9417668006aae7124886bcca038 ]

None of the udp_tunnel users need struct socket in their
fast paths; it is only used for tunnel setup / teardown.

While the UDP tunnel interface accepts struct socket, this
encourages users to store the pointer unnecessarily.  This
leads to extra dereferences when accessing struct sock fields
(e.g., sk-&gt;sk_user_data instead of sock-&gt;sk-&gt;sk_user_data).

Furthermore, these dereferences necessitate synchronize_rcu()
in udp_tunnel_sock_release() to protect the fast paths from
sock_orphan() setting sk-&gt;sk_socket to NULL.

This overhead can be avoided if users store the struct sock
pointer directly in their private structures.

As a prep, let's change udp_tunnel_sock_release() to take
struct sock instead of struct socket.

<title>geneve: validate inner network offset in geneve_gro_complete()</title>

[ Upstream commit cbb0d30a1ad6fc9439b1dc9b4f5a7a9140d3b11f ]

Even with both paths gated on gs-&gt;gro_hint, geneve_gro_complete()
re-derives the inner dispatch type and length from the packet and the
current gs-&gt;gro_hint, independently of geneve_gro_receive(). The two can
disagree if gs-&gt;gro_hint flips under a concurrent geneve_quiesce()/
geneve_unquiesce() (sk_user_data is NULL across a synchronize_net()), or if
the re-read option bytes differ from the ones receive parsed.

geneve_gro_receive() already records the inner network header position in
NAPI_GRO_CB()-&gt;inner_network_offset. Have geneve_gro_complete() compute the
offset it is about to dispatch at, adding ETH_HLEN in the ETH_P_TEB case
where eth_gro_complete() steps over the inner MAC header, and bail out if
it lands past inner_network_offset.

Use a lower bound rather than exact equality: between gh_len and the inner
L3 header, geneve_gro_receive() may also have pulled an inner VLAN tag
(vlan_gro_receive() advances the recorded offset past it), which only moves
inner_network_offset further out. A valid frame therefore always satisfies
inner_nh &lt;= inner_network_offset, while a gh_len inflated by a hint
gro_receive() did not honour dispatches past the validated inner header,
i.e. the out-of-bounds completion. Only the latter is rejected.

<title>geneve: gate GRO hint in geneve_gro_complete() on gs-&gt;gro_hint</title>

[ Upstream commit 2651c174445884ac9e85622aeade9c1f7b98d8e5 ]

geneve_gro_receive() reads the GRO hint through geneve_sk_gro_hint_off(),
which honours it only when the socket enabled IFLA_GENEVE_GRO_HINT
(gs-&gt;gro_hint). geneve_gro_complete() instead calls the low-level
geneve_opt_gro_hint_off() and acts on the hint unconditionally.

On a tunnel without the hint, receive aggregates the frames as plain
ETH_P_TEB while complete still honours an attacker-supplied hint option: it
inflates gh_len by gro_hint-&gt;nested_hdr_len (u8) and redirects the dispatch
type, so the inner gro_complete handler runs at nhoff + gh_len, an offset
receive never pulled nor validated, reading out of bounds of the skb head:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ipv6_gro_complete (net/ipv6/ip6_offload.c:196)
  Read of size 1 at addr ffff88800fe91980 by task exploit/153

   inet_gro_complete (net/ipv4/af_inet.c:1621)
   __gro_flush (net/core/gro.c:306)

Gate the complete path on gs-&gt;gro_hint too via geneve_sk_gro_hint_off(), so
both paths agree. Tunnels that enable the hint are unaffected.

[ Upstream commit 2319688890d97c63da423a3c57c23b4ab5952dfc ]

GRO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE = 65536; total_len being 65536 is too big to fit
into a u16. As can be seen in skb_gro_receive, packets bigger or equal
to gro_max_size (or GRO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE) are dropped with -E2BIG. Apply
the same boundary to geneve_post_decap_hint to avoid writing 65536 to a
16-bit iph-&gt;tot_len field with an overflow.

Convert all drivers currently utilizing ipv6_stub to make direct

        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

<title>geneve: use GRO hint option in the RX path</title>

At the GRO stage, when a valid hint option is found, try match the whole
nested headers and try to aggregate on the inner protocol; in case of hdr
mismatch extract the nested address and port to properly flush on a
per-inner flow basis.

On GRO completion, the (unmodified) nested headers will be considered part
of the (constant) outer geneve encap header so that plain UDP tunnel
segmentation will yield valid wire packets.

In the geneve RX path, when processing a GSO packet carrying a GRO hint
option, update the nested header length fields from the wire packet size to
the GSO-packet one. If the nested header additionally carries a checksum,
convert it to CSUM-partial.

Finally, when the RX path leverages the GRO hints, skip the additional GRO
stage done by GRO cells: otherwise the already set skb-&gt;encapsulation flag
will foul the GRO cells complete step to use touch the innermost IP header
when it should update the nested csum, corrupting the packet.
