commit 501a90c945103e8627406763dac418f20f3837b2 upstream.

syzbot was once again able to crash a host by setting a very small mtu
on loopback device.

Let's make inetdev_valid_mtu() available in include/net/ip.h,
and use it in ip_setup_cork(), so that we protect both ip_append_page()
and __ip_append_data()

Also add a READ_ONCE() when the device mtu is read.

Pairs this lockless read with one WRITE_ONCE() in __dev_set_mtu(),
even if other code paths might write over this field.

Add a big comment in include/linux/netdevice.h about dev-&gt;mtu
needing READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations.

Hopefully we will add the missing ones in followup patches.

commit af7d6cce53694a88d6a1bb60c9a239a6a5144459 upstream.

Since commit 5aad1de5ea2c ("ipv4: use separate genid for next hop
exceptions"), exceptions get deprecated separately from cached
routes. In particular, administrative changes don't clear PMTU anymore.

As Stefano described in commit e9fa1495d738 ("ipv6: Reflect MTU changes
on PMTU of exceptions for MTU-less routes"), the PMTU discovered before
the local MTU change can become stale:
 - if the local MTU is now lower than the PMTU, that PMTU is now
   incorrect
 - if the local MTU was the lowest value in the path, and is increased,
   we might discover a higher PMTU

Similarly to what commit e9fa1495d738 did for IPv6, update PMTU in those
cases.

If the exception was locked, the discovered PMTU was smaller than the
minimal accepted PMTU. In that case, if the new local MTU is smaller
than the current PMTU, let PMTU discovery figure out if locking of the
exception is still needed.

To do this, we need to know the old link MTU in the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU
notifier. By the time the notifier is called, dev-&gt;mtu has been
changed. This patch adds the old MTU as additional information in the
notifier structure, and a new call_netdevice_notifiers_u32() function.

<title>tun: call dev_get_valid_name() before register_netdevice()</title>

commit 0ad646c81b2182f7fa67ec0c8c825e0ee165696d upstream.

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.

commit 57ea52a865144aedbcd619ee0081155e658b6f7d upstream.

The GRO fast path caches the frag0 address.  This address becomes
invalid if frag0 is modified by pskb_may_pull or its variants.
So whenever that happens we must disable the frag0 optimization.

This is usually done through the combination of gro_header_hard
and gro_header_slow, however, the IPv6 extension header path did
the pulling directly and would continue to use the GRO fast path
incorrectly.

This patch fixes it by disabling the fast path when we enter the
IPv6 extension header path.

[ Upstream commit 2793a23aacbd754dbbb5cb75093deb7e4103bace ]

Netdevice parameter hard_header_len is variously interpreted both as
an upper and lower bound on link layer header length. The field is
used as upper bound when reserving room at allocation, as lower bound
when validating user input in PF_PACKET.

Clarify the definition to be maximum header length. For validation
of untrusted headers, add an optional validate member to header_ops.

Allow bypassing of validation by passing CAP_SYS_RAWIO, for instance
for deliberate testing of corrupt input. In this case, pad trailing
bytes, as some device drivers expect completely initialized headers.

commit fac8e0f579695a3ecbc4d3cac369139d7f819971 upstream.

When drivers express support for TSO of encapsulated packets, they
only mean that they can do it for one layer of encapsulation.
Supporting additional levels would mean updating, at a minimum,
more IP length fields and they are unaware of this.

No encapsulation device expresses support for handling offloaded
encapsulated packets, so we won't generate these types of frames
in the transmit path. However, GRO doesn't have a check for
multiple levels of encapsulation and will attempt to build them.

UDP tunnel GRO actually does prevent this situation but it only
handles multiple UDP tunnels stacked on top of each other. This
generalizes that solution to prevent any kind of tunnel stacking
that would cause problems.

<title>ipv6: protect skb-&gt;sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stack</title>

commit f60e5990d9c1424af9dbca60a23ba2a1c7c1ce90 upstream.

We should not consult skb-&gt;sk for output decisions in xmit recursion
levels &gt; 0 in the stack. Otherwise local socket settings could influence
the result of e.g. tunnel encapsulation process.

ipv6 does not conform with this in three places:

1) ip6_fragment: we do consult ipv6_npinfo for frag_size

2) sk_mc_loop in ipv6 uses skb-&gt;sk and checks if we should
   loop the packet back to the local socket

3) ip6_skb_dst_mtu could query the settings from the user socket and
   force a wrong MTU

Furthermore:
In sk_mc_loop we could potentially land in WARN_ON(1) if we use a
PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed vxlan device.

Reuse xmit_recursion as we are currently only interested in protecting
tunnel devices.

Joseph Gasparakis reported that VXLAN GSO offload stopped working with
i40e device after recent UDP changes. The problem is that the
SKB_GSO_* bits are out of sync with the corresponding NETIF flags. This
patch fixes that. Also, we add BUILD_BUG_ONs in net_gso_ok for several
GSO constants that were missing to avoid the problem in the future.
