[ Upstream commit 94d250fae48e6f873d8362308f5c4d02cd1b1fd2 ]

Fix a racing condition in ipheth.c that can lead to slow performance.

Bug: In ipheth_tx(), netif_wake_queue() may be called on the callback
ipheth_sndbulk_callback(), _before_ netif_stop_queue() is called.
When this happens, the queue is stopped longer than it needs to be,
thus reducing network performance.

Fix: Move netif_stop_queue() in front of usb_submit_urb(). Now the order
is always correct. In case, usb_submit_urb() fails, the queue is woken up
again as callback will not fire.

Testing: This racing condition is usually not noticeable, as it has to
occur very frequently to slowdown the network. The callback from the USB
is usually triggered slow enough, so the situation does not appear.
However, on a Ubuntu Linux on VMWare Workstation, running on Windows 10,
the we loose the race quite often and the following speedup can be noticed:

commit 6314dab4b8fb8493d810e175cb340376052c69b6 upstream.

The GetNtbFormat and SetNtbFormat requests operate on 16 bit little
endian values. We get away with ignoring this most of the time, because
we only care about USB_CDC_NCM_NTB16_FORMAT which is 0x0000.  This
fails for USB_CDC_NCM_NTB32_FORMAT.

Fix comparison between LE value from device and constant by converting
the constant to LE.

When disconnecting cdc_ncm the kernel sporadically crashes shortly
after the disconnect:

  ...

The crash happens roughly 125..130ms after the disconnect. This
correlates with the 'delay' timer that is started on certain USB tx/rx
errors in the URB completion handler.

The problem is a race of usbnet_stop() with usbnet_start_xmit(). In
usbnet_stop() we call usbnet_terminate_urbs() to cancel all URBs in
flight. This only makes sense if no new URBs are submitted
concurrently, though. But the usbnet_start_xmit() can run at the same
time on another CPU which almost unconditionally submits an URB. The
error callback of the new URB will then schedule the timer after it was
already stopped.

The fix adds a check if the tx queue is stopped after the tx list lock
has been taken. This should reliably prevent the submission of new URBs
while usbnet_terminate_urbs() does its job. The same thing is done on
the rx side even though it might be safe due to other flags that are
checked there.

commit 61c59355e0154a938b28710dfa6c1d8be2ddcefa upstream.

_dev_ is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there
is a potential null pointer dereference.

Fix this by moving the pointer dereference after _dev_ has been null
checked.

commit bb1b40c7cb863f0800a6410c7dcb86cf3f28d3b1 upstream.

iOS devices require the host to be "trusted" before servicing network
packets. Establishing trust requires the user to confirm a dialog on the
iOS device.Until trust is established, the iOS device will silently discard
network packets from the host. Currently, the ipheth driver does not detect
whether an iOS device has established trust with the host, and immediately
sets up the transmit queues.

This causes the following problems:

- Kernel taint due to WARN() in netdev watchdog.
- Dmesg spam ("TX timeout").
- Disruption of user space networking activity (dhcpd, etc...) when new
interface comes up but cannot be used.
- Unnecessary host and device wakeups and USB traffic

Example dmesg output:

[ 1101.320110] ipheth 1-5:4.2: ipheth_tx_timeout: TX timeout

The last message "TX timeout" is repeated every 5 seconds until trust is
established or the device is disconnected, filling up dmesg.

The proposed patch eliminates the problem by, upon connection, keeping the
TX queue and carrier disabled until a packet is first received from the iOS
device. This is reflected by the confirmed_pairing variable in the device
structure. Only after at least one packet has been received from the iOS
device, the transmit queue and carrier are brought up during the periodic
device poll in ipheth_carrier_set. Because the iOS device will always send
a packet immediately upon trust being established, this should not delay
the interface becoming useable. To prevent failed UBRs in
ipheth_rcvbulk_callback from perpetually re-enabling the queue if it was
disabled, a new check is added so only successful transfers re-enable the
queue, whereas failed transfers only trigger an immediate poll.

This has the added benefit of removing the periodic control requests to the
iOS device until trust has been established and thus should reduce wakeup
events on both the host and the iOS device.

commit bb1b40c7cb863f0800a6410c7dcb86cf3f28d3b1 upstream.

iOS devices require the host to be "trusted" before servicing network
packets. Establishing trust requires the user to confirm a dialog on the
iOS device.Until trust is established, the iOS device will silently discard
network packets from the host. Currently, the ipheth driver does not detect
whether an iOS device has established trust with the host, and immediately
sets up the transmit queues.

This causes the following problems:

- Kernel taint due to WARN() in netdev watchdog.
- Dmesg spam ("TX timeout").
- Disruption of user space networking activity (dhcpd, etc...) when new
interface comes up but cannot be used.
- Unnecessary host and device wakeups and USB traffic

Example dmesg output:

We can use skb_cow_head() to properly deal with clones,
especially the ones coming from TCP stack that allow their head being
modified. This avoids a copy.

commit 6bc6895bdd6744e0136eaa4a11fbdb20a7db4e40 upstream.

We need to ensure there is enough headroom to push extra header,
but we also need to check if we are allowed to change headers.

skb_cow_head() is the proper helper to deal with this.

commit e9156cd26a495a18706e796f02a81fee41ec14f4 upstream.

The driver was failing to check that the SKB wasn't cloned
before adding checksum data.
Replace existing handling to extend/copy the header buffer
with skb_cow_head.

commit 5146f95df782b0ac61abde36567e718692725c89 upstream.

The function hso_probe reads if_num from the USB device (as an u8) and uses
it without a length check to index an array, resulting in an OOB memory read
in hso_probe or hso_get_config_data.

Add a length check for both locations and updated hso_probe to bail on
error.

This issue has been assigned CVE-2018-19985.
