[ Upstream commit 29e73269aa4d36f92b35610c25f8b01c789b0dc8 ]

Drop reference on the relay_po socket when __pppoe_xmit() succeeds.
This is already handled correctly in the error path.

[ Upstream commit 9a368aff9cb370298fa02feeffa861f2db497c18 ]

Several times already this has been reported as kasan reports caused by
syzkaller and trinity and people always looked at RCU races, but it is
much more simple. :)

In case we bind a pptp socket multiple times, we simply add it to
the callid_sock list but don't remove the old binding. Thus the old
socket stays in the bucket with unused call_id indexes and doesn't get
cleaned up. This causes various forms of kasan reports which were hard
to pinpoint.

Simply don't allow multiple binds and correct error handling in
pptp_bind. Also keep sk_state bits in place in pptp_connect.

commit 4ab42d78e37a294ac7bc56901d563c642e03c4ae upstream.

Currently slhc_init() treats out-of-range values of rslots and tslots
as equivalent to 0, except that if tslots is too large it will
dereference a null pointer (CVE-2015-7799).

Add a range-check at the top of the function and make it return an
ERR_PTR() on error instead of NULL.  Change the callers accordingly.

Compile-tested only.

[ Upstream commit 1acea4f6ce1b1c0941438aca75dd2e5c6b09db60 ]

We can't rely on PPPOX_ZOMBIE to decide whether to clear po-&gt;pppoe_dev.
PPPOX_ZOMBIE can be set by pppoe_disc_rcv() even when po-&gt;pppoe_dev is
NULL. So we have no guarantee that (sk-&gt;sk_state &amp; PPPOX_ZOMBIE) implies
(po-&gt;pppoe_dev != NULL).
Since we're releasing a PPPoE socket, we want to release the pppoe_dev
if it exists and reset sk_state to PPPOX_DEAD, no matter the previous
value of sk_state. So we can just check for po-&gt;pppoe_dev and avoid any
assumption on sk-&gt;sk_state.

pppoe_flush_dev() has no reason to override sk-&gt;sk_state with
PPPOX_ZOMBIE. pppox_unbind_sock() already sets sk-&gt;sk_state to
PPPOX_DEAD, which is the correct state given that sk is unbound and
po-&gt;pppoe_dev is NULL.

pppoe_flush_dev() has no reason to override sk-&gt;sk_state with
PPPOX_ZOMBIE. pppox_unbind_sock() already sets sk-&gt;sk_state to
PPPOX_DEAD, which is the correct state given that sk is unbound and
po-&gt;pppoe_dev is NULL.

[ Upstream commit e2a4800e75780ccf4e6c2487f82b688ba736eb18 ]

When we've run out of space in the output buffer to store more data, we
will call zlib_deflate with a NULL output buffer until we've consumed
remaining input.

When this happens, olen contains the size the output buffer would have
consumed iff we'd have had enough room.

This can later cause skb_over_panic when ppp_generic skb_put()s
the returned length.

[ Upstream commit a5f6fc28d6e6cc379c6839f21820e62262419584 ]

pptp_getname() only partially initializes the stack variable sa,
particularly only fills the pptp part of the sa_addr union. The code
thereby discloses 16 bytes of kernel stack memory via getsockname().

Fix this by memset(0)'ing the union before.

commit 24dff96a37a2ca319e75a74d3929b2de22447ca6 upstream.

we used to check for "nobody else could start doing anything with
that opened file" by checking that refcount was 2 or less - one
for descriptor table and one we'd acquired in fget() on the way to
wherever we are.  That was race-prone (somebody else might have
had a reference to descriptor table and do fget() just as we'd
been checking) and it had become flat-out incorrect back when
we switched to fget_light() on those codepaths - unlike fget(),
it doesn't grab an extra reference unless the descriptor table
is shared.  The same change allowed a race-free check, though -
we are safe exactly when refcount is less than 2.

It was a long time ago; pre-2.6.12 for ioctl() (the codepath leading
to ppp one) and 2.6.17 for sendmsg() (netlink one).  OTOH,
netlink hadn't grown that check until 3.9 and ppp used to live
in drivers/net, not drivers/net/ppp until 3.1.  The bug existed
well before that, though, and the same fix used to apply in old
location of file.

<title>inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count</title>

[ Upstream commit 73f156a6e8c1074ac6327e0abd1169e95eb66463 ]

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.

linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.

1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes

2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
   with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.

3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
   is about 20.

4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
   not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
   the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())

5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.

IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'

Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
with a recycled ID.

We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
as a key.

ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
belongs (it is only used from this file)

secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.

Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.
