commit 55667441c84fa5e0911a0aac44fb059c15ba6da2 upstream.

UDP IPv6 packets auto flowlabels are using a 32bit secret
(static u32 hashrnd in net/core/flow_dissector.c) and
apply jhash() over fields known by the receivers.

Attackers can easily infer the 32bit secret and use this information
to identify a device and/or user, since this 32bit secret is only
set at boot time.

Really, using jhash() to generate cookies sent on the wire
is a serious security concern.

Trying to change the rol32(hash, 16) in ip6_make_flowlabel() would be
a dead end. Trying to periodically change the secret (like in sch_sfq.c)
could change paths taken in the network for long lived flows.

Let's switch to siphash, as we did in commit df453700e8d8
("inet: switch IP ID generator to siphash")

Using a cryptographically strong pseudo random function will solve this
privacy issue and more generally remove other weak points in the stack.

Packet schedulers using skb_get_hash_perturb() benefit from this change.

Fixes: b56774163f99 ("ipv6: Enable auto flow labels by default")
Fixes: 42240901f7c4 ("ipv6: Implement different admin modes for automatic flow labels")
Fixes: 67800f9b1f4e ("ipv6: Call skb_get_hash_flowi6 to get skb-&gt;hash in ip6_make_flowlabel")

[ Upstream commit d7d16a89350ab263484c0aa2b523dd3a234e4a80 ]

Some paths call skb_queue_empty() without holding
the queue lock. We must use a barrier in order
to not let the compiler do strange things, and avoid
KCSAN splats.

Adding a barrier in skb_queue_empty() might be overkill,
I prefer adding a new helper to clearly identify
points where the callers might be lockless. This might
help us finding real bugs.

The corresponding WRITE_ONCE() should add zero cost
for current compilers.

[ Upstream commit 185ce5c38ea76f29b6bd9c7c8c7a5e5408834920 ]

Zerocopy skbs without completion notification were added for packet
sockets with PACKET_TX_RING user buffers. Those signal completion
through the TP_STATUS_USER bit in the ring. Zerocopy annotation was
added only to avoid premature notification after clone or orphan, by
triggering a copy on these paths for these packets.

The mechanism had to define a special "no-uarg" mode because packet
sockets already use skb_uarg(skb) == skb_shinfo(skb)-&gt;destructor_arg
for a different pointer.

Before deferencing skb_uarg(skb), verify that it is a real pointer.

commit d5be7f632bad0f489879eed0ff4b99bd7fe0b74c upstream.

Syzkaller again found a path to a kernel crash through bad gso input.
By building an excessively large packet to cause an skb field to wrap.

If VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM was set this would have been dropped in
skb_partial_csum_set.

GSO packets that do not set checksum offload are suspicious and rare.
Most callers of virtio_net_hdr_to_skb already pass them to
skb_probe_transport_header.

Move that test forward, change it to detect parse failure and drop
packets on failure as those cleary are not one of the legitimate
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO types.

commit 2b16f048729bf35e6c28a40cbfad07239f9dcd90 upstream

If you take a GSO skb, and split it into packets, will the MAC
length (L2 + L3 + L4 headers + payload) of those packets be small
enough to fit within a given length?

Move skb_gso_mac_seglen() to skbuff.h with other related functions
like skb_gso_network_seglen() so we can use it, and then create
skb_gso_validate_mac_len to do the full calculation.

[ Upstream commit 5cd8d46ea1562be80063f53c7c6a5f40224de623 ]

tpacket_snd sends packets with user pages linked into skb frags. It
notifies that pages can be reused when the skb is released by setting
skb-&gt;destructor to tpacket_destruct_skb.

This can cause data corruption if the skb is orphaned (e.g., on
transmit through veth) or cloned (e.g., on mirror to another psock).

Create a kernel-private copy of data in these cases, same as tun/tap
zerocopy transmission. Reuse that infrastructure: mark the skb as
SKBTX_ZEROCOPY_FRAG, which will trigger copy in skb_orphan_frags(_rx).

Unlike other zerocopy packets, do not set shinfo destructor_arg to
struct ubuf_info. tpacket_destruct_skb already uses that ptr to notify
when the original skb is released and a timestamp is recorded. Do not
change this timestamp behavior. The ubuf_info-&gt;callback is not needed
anyway, as no zerocopy notification is expected.

Mark destructor_arg as not-a-uarg by setting the lower bit to 1. The
resulting value is not a valid ubuf_info pointer, nor a valid
tpacket_snd frame address. Add skb_zcopy_.._nouarg helpers for this.

The fix relies on features introduced in commit 52267790ef52 ("sock:
add MSG_ZEROCOPY"), so can be backported as is only to 4.14.

Tested with from `./in_netns.sh ./txring_overwrite` from

commit bffa72cf7f9df842f0016ba03586039296b4caaf upstream

skb-&gt;rbnode shares space with skb-&gt;next, skb-&gt;prev and skb-&gt;tstamp

Current uses (TCP receive ofo queue and netem) need to save/restore
tstamp, while skb-&gt;dev is either NULL (TCP) or a constant for a given
queue (netem).

Since we plan using an RB tree for TCP retransmit queue to speedup SACK
processing with large BDP, this patch exchanges skb-&gt;dev and
skb-&gt;tstamp.

This saves some overhead in both TCP and netem.

v2: removes the swtstamp field from struct tcp_skb_cb

Geeralize private netem_rb_to_skb()

TCP rtx queue will soon be converted to rb-tree,
so we will need skb_rbtree_walk() helpers.

<title>net: pskb_trim_rcsum() and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are friends</title>

After working on IP defragmentation lately, I found that some large
packets defeat CHECKSUM_COMPLETE optimization because of NIC adding
zero paddings on the last (small) fragment.

While removing the padding with pskb_trim_rcsum(), we set skb-&gt;ip_summed
to CHECKSUM_NONE, forcing a full csum validation, even if all prior
fragments had CHECKSUM_COMPLETE set.

We can instead compute the checksum of the part we are trimming,
usually smaller than the part we keep.
