commit e1edab87faf6ca30cd137e0795bc73aa9a9a22ec upstream.

When IFF_VNET_HDR is enabled, a virtio_net header must precede data.
Data length is verified to be greater than or equal to expected header
length tun-&gt;vnet_hdr_sz before copying.

Read this value once and cache locally, as it can be updated between
the test and use (TOCTOU).

[js] we have TUN_VNET_HDR in 3.12

commit 2eb783c43e7cf807a45899c10ed556b6dc116625 upstream.

We set the flag TUN_PKT_STRIP if the user buffer provided is too
small to contain the entire packet plus meta-data.  However, this
has been broken ever since we added GSO meta-data.  VLAN acceleration
also has the same problem.

This patch fixes this by taking both into account when setting the
TUN_PKT_STRIP flag.

The fact that this has been broken for six years without anyone
realising means that nobody actually uses this flag.

[ Upstream commit 96f8d9ecf227638c89f98ccdcdd50b569891976c ]

We currently use hdr_len as a hint of head length which is advertised by
guest. But when guest advertise a very big value, it can lead to an 64K+
allocating of kmalloc() which has a very high possibility of failure when host
memory is fragmented or under heavy stress. The huge hdr_len also reduce the
effect of zerocopy or even disable if a gso skb is linearized in guest.

To solves those issues, this patch introduces an upper limit (PAGE_SIZE) of the
head, which guarantees an order 0 allocation each time.

(tuntap: multiqueue support) only call free_netdev() on error in

- memory of tun security were leaked
- use after free since the flow gc timer was not deleted and the tfile
  were not detached

<title>tuntap: do not zerocopy if iov needs more pages than MAX_SKB_FRAGS</title>

[ Upstream commit 885291761dba2bfe04df4c0f7bb75e4c920ab82e ]

We try to linearize part of the skb when the number of iov is greater than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This is not enough since each single vector may occupy more than
one pages, so zerocopy_sg_fromiovec() may still fail and may break the guest
network.

Solve this problem by calculate the pages needed for iov before trying to do
zerocopy and switch to use copy instead of zerocopy if it needs more than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS.

This is done through introducing a new helper to count the pages for iov, and
call uarg-&gt;callback() manually when switching from zerocopy to copy to notify
vhost.

We can do further optimization on top.

The bug were introduced from commit 0690899b4d4501b3505be069b9a687e68ccbe15b

[ Upstream commit 3dd5c3308e8b671e8e8882ba972f51cefbe9fd0d ]

Userspace may produce vectors greater than MAX_SKB_FRAGS. When we try to
linearize parts of the skb to let the rest of iov to be fit in
the frags, we need count copylen into linear when calling tun_alloc_skb()
instead of partly counting it into data_len. Since this breaks
zerocopy_sg_from_iovec() since its inner counter assumes nr_frags should
be zero at beginning. This cause nr_frags to be increased wrongly without
setting the correct frags.

(tuntap: move socket to tun_file) forgets to set SOCK_ZEROCOPY flag, which will
prevent vhost_net from doing zercopy w/ tap. This patch fixes this by setting
it during file open.

Commit 54f968d6efdbf7dec36faa44fc11f01b0e4d1990
(tuntap: move socket to tun_file) forgets to set SOCK_ZEROCOPY flag, which will
prevent vhost_net from doing zercopy w/ tap. This patch fixes this by setting
it during file open.
