[ Upstream commit 18685451fc4e546fc0e718580d32df3c0e5c8272 ]

ip_local_out() and other functions can pass skb-&gt;sk as function argument.

If the skb is a fragment and reassembly happens before such function call
returns, the sk must not be released.

This affects skb fragments reassembled via netfilter or similar
modules, e.g. openvswitch or ct_act.c, when run as part of tx pipeline.

Eric Dumazet made an initial analysis of this bug.  Quoting Eric:
  Calling ip_defrag() in output path is also implying skb_orphan(),
  which is buggy because output path relies on sk not disappearing.

  A relevant old patch about the issue was :
  8282f27449bf ("inet: frag: Always orphan skbs inside ip_defrag()")

  [..]

  net/ipv4/ip_output.c depends on skb-&gt;sk being set, and probably to an
  inet socket, not an arbitrary one.

  If we orphan the packet in ipvlan, then downstream things like FQ
  packet scheduler will not work properly.

  We need to change ip_defrag() to only use skb_orphan() when really
  needed, ie whenever frag_list is going to be used.

Eric suggested to stash sk in fragment queue and made an initial patch.
However there is a problem with this:

If skb is refragmented again right after, ip_do_fragment() will copy
head-&gt;sk to the new fragments, and sets up destructor to sock_wfree.
IOW, we have no choice but to fix up sk_wmem accouting to reflect the
fully reassembled skb, else wmem will underflow.

This change moves the orphan down into the core, to last possible moment.
As ip_defrag_offset is aliased with sk_buff-&gt;sk member, we must move the
offset into the FRAG_CB, else skb-&gt;sk gets clobbered.

This allows to delay the orphaning long enough to learn if the skb has
to be queued or if the skb is completing the reasm queue.

In the former case, things work as before, skb is orphaned.  This is
safe because skb gets queued/stolen and won't continue past reasm engine.

In the latter case, we will steal the skb-&gt;sk reference, reattach it to
the head skb, and fix up wmem accouting when inet_frag inflates truesize.

[ Upstream commit c3198822c6cb9fb588e446540485669cc81c5d34 ]

When the skb is reorganized during esp_output (!esp-&gt;inline), the pages
coming from the original skb fragments are supposed to be released back
to the system through put_page. But if the skb fragment pages are
originating from a page_pool, calling put_page on them will trigger a
page_pool leak which will eventually result in a crash.

This leak can be easily observed when using CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and doing
ipsec + gre (non offloaded) forwarding:

[ Upstream commit 9874808878d9eed407e3977fd11fee49de1e1d86 ]

An skb can be added to a neigh-&gt;arp_queue while waiting for an arp
reply. Where original skb's skb-&gt;dev can be different to neigh's
neigh-&gt;dev. For instance in case of bridging dnated skb from one veth to
another, the skb would be added to a neigh-&gt;arp_queue of the bridge.

As skb-&gt;dev can be reset back to nf_bridge-&gt;physindev and used, and as
there is no explicit mechanism that prevents this physindev from been
freed under us (for instance neigh_flush_dev doesn't cleanup skbs from
different device's neigh queue) we can crash on e.g. this stack:

arp_process
  neigh_update
    skb = __skb_dequeue(&amp;neigh-&gt;arp_queue)
      neigh_resolve_output(..., skb)
        ...
          br_nf_dev_xmit
            br_nf_pre_routing_finish_bridge_slow
              skb-&gt;dev = nf_bridge-&gt;physindev
              br_handle_frame_finish

Let's use plain ifindex instead of net_device link. To peek into the
original net_device we will use dev_get_by_index_rcu(). Thus either we
get device and are safe to use it or we don't get it and drop skb.

<title>net: selectively purge error queue in IP_RECVERR / IPV6_RECVERR</title>

<content type='text'>
Setting IP_RECVERR and IPV6_RECVERR options to zero currently
purges the socket error queue, which was probably not expected
for zerocopy and tx_timestamp users.

I discovered this issue while preparing commit 6b5f43ea0815
("inet: move inet-&gt;recverr to inet-&gt;inet_flags"), I presume this
change does not need to be backported to stable kernels.

Add skb_errqueue_purge() helper to purge error messages only.

skb_queue_purge() and __skb_queue_purge() become wrappers
around the new generic functions.

New SKB_DROP_REASON_QUEUE_PURGE drop reason is added,
but users can start adding more specific reasons.

<title>net: skbuff: don't include &lt;net/page_pool/types.h&gt; to &lt;linux/skbuff.h&gt;</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, touching &lt;net/page_pool/types.h&gt; triggers a rebuild of more
than half of the kernel. That's because it's included in
&lt;linux/skbuff.h&gt;. And each new include to page_pool/types.h adds more
[useless] data for the toolchain to process per each source file from
that pile.

In commit 6a5bcd84e886 ("page_pool: Allow drivers to hint on SKB
recycling"), Matteo included it to be able to call a couple of functions
defined there. Then, in commit 57f05bc2ab24 ("page_pool: keep pp info as
long as page pool owns the page") one of the calls was removed, so only
one was left. It's the call to page_pool_return_skb_page() in
napi_frag_unref(). The function is external and doesn't have any
dependencies. Having very niche page_pool_types.h included only for that
looks like an overkill.

As %PP_SIGNATURE is not local to page_pool.c (was only in the
early submissions), nothing holds this function there. Teleport
page_pool_return_skb_page() to skbuff.c, just next to the main consumer,
skb_pp_recycle(), and rename it to napi_pp_put_page(), as it doesn't
work with skbs at all and the former name tells nothing. The #if guards
here are only to not compile and have it in the vmlinux when not needed
-- both call sites are already guarded.
Now, touching page_pool_types.h only triggers rebuilding of the drivers
using it and a couple of core networking files.

Split types and pure function declarations from page_pool.h
and add them in page_page/types.h, so that C sources can
include page_pool.h and headers should generally only include
page_pool/types.h as suggested by jakub.
Rename page_pool.h to page_pool/helpers.h to have both in
one place.
