[ Upstream commit d04ac224b1688f005a84f764cfe29844f8e9da08 ]

The skb_mpls_push was not updating ethertype of an ethernet packet if
the packet was originally received from a non ARPHRD_ETHER device.

In the below OVS data path flow, since the device corresponding to
port 7 is an l3 device (ARPHRD_NONE) the skb_mpls_push function does
not update the ethertype of the packet even though the previous
push_eth action had added an ethernet header to the packet.

recirc_id(0),in_port(7),eth_type(0x0800),ipv4(tos=0/0xfc,ttl=64,frag=no),
actions:push_eth(src=00:00:00:00:00:00,dst=00:00:00:00:00:00),
push_mpls(label=13,tc=0,ttl=64,bos=1,eth_type=0x8847),4

<title>udp: drop skb extensions before marking skb stateless</title>

Once udp stack has set the UDP_SKB_IS_STATELESS flag, later skb free
assumes all skb head state has been dropped already.

This will leak the extension memory in case the skb has extensions other
than the ipsec secpath, e.g. bridge nf data.

To fix this, set the UDP_SKB_IS_STATELESS flag only if we don't have
extensions or if the extension space can be free'd.

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.

<title>net/flow_dissector: switch to siphash</title>

<content type='text'>
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: 42240901f7c4 ("ipv6: Implement different admin modes for automatic flow labels")

the following script:

 # tc qdisc add dev eth0 clsact
 # tc filter add dev eth0 egress protocol ip matchall \

causes corruption of all IP packets transmitted by eth0. On TC egress, we
can't rely on the value of skb-&gt;mac_len, because it's 0 and a MPLS 'push'
operation will result in an overwrite of the first 4 octets in the packet
L2 header (e.g. the Destination Address if eth0 is an Ethernet); the same
error pattern is present also in the MPLS 'pop' operation. Fix this error
in act_mpls data plane, computing 'mac_len' as the difference between the
network header and the mac header (when not at TC ingress), and use it in
MPLS 'push'/'pop' core functions.

commit 174e23810cd31
("sk_buff: drop all skb extensions on free and skb scrubbing") made napi
recycle always drop skb extensions.  The additional skb_ext_del() that is
performed via nf_reset on napi skb recycle is not needed anymore.

Most nf_reset() calls in the stack are there so queued skb won't block
'rmmod nf_conntrack' indefinitely.

This removes the skb_ext_del from nf_reset, and renames it to a more
fitting nf_reset_ct().

In a few selected places, add a call to skb_ext_reset to make sure that
no active extensions remain.

I am submitting this for "net", because we're still early in the release
cycle.  The patch applies to net-next too, but I think the rename causes
needless divergence between those trees.

Now that we have a 3rd extension, add a new helper that drops the
extension space and use it when we need to scrub an sk_buff.

At this time, scrubbing clears secpath and bridge netfilter data, but
retains the tc skb extension, after this patch all three get cleared.

NAPI reuse/free assumes we can only have a secpath attached to skb, but
it seems better to clear all extensions there as well.

Move some `struct nf_conntrack` code from linux/skbuff.h to
linux/nf_conntrack_common.h.  Together with a couple of helpers for
getting and setting skb-&gt;_nfct, it allows us to remove
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK checks from net/netfilter/nf_conntrack.h.

<title>net: openvswitch: Set OvS recirc_id from tc chain index</title>

Offloaded OvS datapath rules are translated one to one to tc rules,
for example the following simplified OvS rule:

recirc_id(0),in_port(dev1),eth_type(0x0800),ct_state(-trk) actions:ct(),recirc(2)

Will be translated to the following tc rule:

$ tc filter add dev dev1 ingress \
	    prio 1 chain 0 proto ip \
		flower tcp ct_state -trk \
		action ct pipe \
		action goto chain 2

Received packets will first travel though tc, and if they aren't stolen
by it, like in the above rule, they will continue to OvS datapath.
Since we already did some actions (action ct in this case) which might
modify the packets, and updated action stats, we would like to continue
the proccessing with the correct recirc_id in OvS (here recirc_id(2))
where we left off.

To support this, introduce a new skb extension for tc, which
will be used for translating tc chain to ovs recirc_id to
handle these miss cases. Last tc chain index will be set
by tc goto chain action and read by OvS datapath.
