[ Upstream commit 5c25f65fd1e42685f7ccd80e0621829c105785d9 ]

If the name argument of dev_get_valid_name() contains "%d", it will try
to assign it a unit number in __dev__alloc_name() and return either the
unit number (&gt;= 0) or an error code (&lt; 0).
Considering positive values as error values prevent tun device creations
relying this mechanism, therefor we should only consider negative values
as errors here.

[ Upstream commit 0ad646c81b2182f7fa67ec0c8c825e0ee165696d ]

register_netdevice() could fail early when we have an invalid
dev name, in which case -&gt;ndo_uninit() is not called. For tun
device, this is a problem because a timer etc. are already
initialized and it expects -&gt;ndo_uninit() to clean them up.

We could move these initializations into a -&gt;ndo_init() so
that register_netdevice() knows better, however this is still
complicated due to the logic in tun_detach().

Therefore, I choose to just call dev_get_valid_name() before
register_netdevice(), which is quicker and much easier to audit.
And for this specific case, it is already enough.

[ Upstream commit 93161922c658c714715686cd0cf69b090cb9bf1d ]

Syzkaller found several variants of the lockup below by setting negative
values with the TUNSETSNDBUF ioctl.  This patch adds a sanity check
to both the tun and tap versions of this ioctl.

[ Upstream commit b20e2d54789c6acbf6bd0efdbec2cf5fa4d90ef1 ]

aszlig observed failing ssh tunnels (-w) during initialization since
commit cc9da6cc4f56e0 ("ipv6: addrconf: use stable address generator for
ARPHRD_NONE"). We already had reports that the mentioned commit breaks
Juniper VPN connections. I can't clearly say that the Juniper VPN client
has the same problem, but it is worth a try to hint to this patch.

Because of the early generation of link local addresses, the kernel now
can start asking for routers on the local subnet much earlier than usual.
Those router solicitation packets arrive inside the ssh channels and
should be transmitted to the tun fd before the configuration scripts
might have upped the interface and made it ready for transmission.

ssh polls on the interface and receives back a POLL_OUT. It tries to send
the earily router solicitation packet to the tun interface.  Unfortunately
it hasn't been up'ed yet by config scripts, thus failing with -EIO. ssh
doesn't retry again and considers the tun interface broken forever.

[ 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).

<title>tun: handle ubuf refcount correctly when meet errors</title>

We trigger uarg-&gt;callback() immediately after we decide do datacopy
even if caller want to do zerocopy. This will cause the callback
(vhost_net_zerocopy_callback) decrease the refcount. But when we meet
an error afterwards, the error handling in vhost handle_tx() will try
to decrease it again. This is wrong and fix this by delay the
uarg-&gt;callback() until we're sure there's no errors.

<title>tun: fix transmit timestamp support</title>

<content type='text'>
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.
