[ Upstream commit e1edab87faf6ca30cd137e0795bc73aa9a9a22ec ]

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.

commit e3e3c423f82a415195a7bbbfa619bfa7b20d2db6 upstream.

This reverts commit 3d0ad09412ffe00c9afa201d01effdb6023d09b4.

Now that GSO functionality can correctly track if the fragment
id has been selected and select a fragment id if necessary,
we can re-enable UFO on tap/macvap and virtio devices.

commit 3d0ad09412ffe00c9afa201d01effdb6023d09b4 upstream.

IPv6 does not allow fragmentation by routers, so there is no
fragmentation ID in the fixed header.  UFO for IPv6 requires the ID to
be passed separately, but there is no provision for this in the virtio
net protocol.

Until recently our software implementation of UFO/IPv6 generated a new
ID, but this was a bug.  Now we will use ID=0 for any UFO/IPv6 packet
passed through a tap, which is even worse.

Unfortunately there is no distinction between UFO/IPv4 and v6
features, so disable UFO on taps and virtio_net completely until we
have a proper solution.

We cannot depend on VM managers respecting the tap feature flags, so
keep accepting UFO packets but log a warning the first time we do
this.

[ Upstream commit 7b996243fab46092fb3a29c773c54be8152366e4 ]

Instead of using sock_tx_timestamp, use skb_tx_timestamp to record
software transmit timestamp of a packet.

sock_tx_timestamp resets and overrides the tx_flags of the skb.
The function is intended to be called from within the protocol
layer when creating the skb, not from a device driver. This is
inconsistent with other drivers and will cause issues for TCP.

In TCP, we intend to sample the timestamps for the last byte
for each sendmsg/sendpage. For that reason, tcp_sendmsg calls
tcp_tx_timestamp only with the last skb that it generates.
For example, if a 128KB message is split into two 64KB packets
we want to sample the SND timestamp of the last packet. The current
code in the tun driver, however, will result in sampling the SND
timestamp for both packets.

Also, when the last packet is split into smaller packets for
retranmission (see tcp_fragment), the tun driver will record
timestamps for all of the retransmitted packets and not only the
last packet.

commit a8f9bfdf982e2b1fb9f094e4de9ab08c57f3d2fd upstream.

When VLAN acceleration is in use on the xmit path, we end up
setting csum_start to the wrong place.  The result is that the
whoever ends up doing the checksum setting will corrupt the packet
instead of writing the checksum to the expected location, usually
this means writing the checksum with an offset of -4.

This patch fixes this by adjusting csum_start when VLAN acceleration
is detected.
