[ Upstream commit 1382e3b6a3500c245e5278c66d210c02926f804f ]

The commit fc8b2a619469
("net: more strict VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP_L4 validation")
adds check of potential number of UDP segments vs
UDP_MAX_SEGMENTS in linux/virtio_net.h.
After this change certification test of USO guest-to-guest
transmit on Windows driver for virtio-net device fails,
for example with packet size of ~64K and mss of 536 bytes.
In general the USO should not be more restrictive than TSO.
Indeed, in case of unreasonably small mss a lot of segments
can cause queue overflow and packet loss on the destination.
Limit of 128 segments is good for any practical purpose,
with minimal meaningful mss of 536 the maximal UDP packet will
be divided to ~120 segments.
The number of segments for UDP packets is validated vs
UDP_MAX_SEGMENTS also in udp.c (v4,v6), this does not affect
quest-to-guest path but does affect packets sent to host, for
example.
It is important to mention that UDP_MAX_SEGMENTS is kernel-only
define and not available to user mode socket applications.
In order to request MSS smaller than MTU the applications
just uses setsockopt with SOL_UDP and UDP_SEGMENT and there is
no limitations on socket API level.

commit 3d010c8031e39f5fa1e8b13ada77e0321091011f upstream.

When rx-udp-gro-forwarding is enabled UDP packets might be GROed when
being forwarded. If such packets might land in a tunnel this can cause
various issues and udp_gro_receive makes sure this isn't the case by
looking for a matching socket. This is performed in
udp4/6_gro_lookup_skb but only in the current netns. This is an issue
with tunneled packets when the endpoint is in another netns. In such
cases the packets will be GROed at the UDP level, which leads to various
issues later on. The same thing can happen with rx-gro-list.

We saw this with geneve packets being GROed at the UDP level. In such
case gso_size is set; later the packet goes through the geneve rx path,
the geneve header is pulled, the offset are adjusted and frag_list skbs
are not adjusted with regard to geneve. When those skbs hit
skb_fragment, it will misbehave. Different outcomes are possible
depending on what the GROed skbs look like; from corrupted packets to
kernel crashes.

One example is a BUG_ON[1] triggered in skb_segment while processing the
frag_list. Because gso_size is wrong (geneve header was pulled)
skb_segment thinks there is "geneve header size" of data in frag_list,
although it's in fact the next packet. The BUG_ON itself has nothing to
do with the issue. This is only one of the potential issues.

Looking up for a matching socket in udp_gro_receive is fragile: the
lookup could be extended to all netns (not speaking about performances)
but nothing prevents those packets from being modified in between and we
could still not find a matching socket. It's OK to keep the current
logic there as it should cover most cases but we also need to make sure
we handle tunnel packets being GROed too early.

This is done by extending the checks in udp_unexpected_gso: GSO packets
lacking the SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL/_CSUM bits and landing in a tunnel must
be segmented.

<title>rxrpc: Fix ICMP/ICMP6 error handling</title>

[ Upstream commit ac56a0b48da86fd1b4389632fb7c4c8a5d86eefa ]

Because rxrpc pretends to be a tunnel on top of a UDP/UDP6 socket, allowing
it to siphon off UDP packets early in the handling of received UDP packets
thereby avoiding the packet going through the UDP receive queue, it doesn't
get ICMP packets through the UDP -&gt;sk_error_report() callback.  In fact, it
doesn't appear that there's any usable option for getting hold of ICMP
packets.

Fix this by adding a new UDP encap hook to distribute error messages for
UDP tunnels.  If the hook is set, then the tunnel driver will be able to
see ICMP packets.  The hook provides the offset into the packet of the UDP
header of the original packet that caused the notification.

An alternative would be to call the -&gt;error_handler() hook - but that
requires that the skbuff be cloned (as ip_icmp_error() or ipv6_cmp_error()
do, though isn't really necessary or desirable in rxrpc's case is we want
to parse them there and then, not queue them).

Changes
=======
ver #3)
 - Fixed an uninitialised variable.

ver #2)
 - Fixed some missing CONFIG_AF_RXRPC_IPV6 conditionals.

When passing up an UDP GSO packet with L4 aggregation, there is
no need to segment it at the vxlan level. We can propagate the
packet untouched and let it be segmented later, if needed.

Introduce an helper to allow let the UDP socket to accept any
L4 aggregation and use it in the vxlan driver.

Currently the UDP protocol delivers GSO_FRAGLIST packets to

<title>udp: Handle ICMP errors for tunnels with same destination port on both endpoints</title>

<id>a36e185e8c85523413c1ae3e03a0bdde5501f403</id>
<content type='text'>
For both IPv4 and IPv6, if we can't match errors to a socket, try
tunnels before ignoring them. Look up a socket with the original source
and destination ports as found in the UDP packet inside the ICMP payload,
this will work for tunnels that force the same destination port for both
endpoints, i.e. VXLAN and GENEVE.

Actually, lwtunnels could break this assumption if they are configured by
an external control plane to have different destination ports on the
endpoints: in this case, we won't be able to trace ICMP messages back to
them.

For IPv6 redirect messages, call ip6_redirect() directly with the output
interface argument set to the interface we received the packet from (as
it's the very interface we should build the exception on), otherwise the
new nexthop will be rejected. There's no such need for IPv4.

Tunnels can now export an encap_err_lookup() operation that indicates a
match. Pass the packet to the lookup function, and if the tunnel driver
reports a matching association, continue with regular ICMP error handling.

v2:
- Added newline between network and transport header sets in
  __udp{4,6}_lib_err_encap() (David Miller)
- Removed redundant skb_reset_network_header(skb); in
  __udp4_lib_err_encap()
- Removed redundant reassignment of iph in __udp4_lib_err_encap()
  (Sabrina Dubroca)
- Edited comment to __udp{4,6}_lib_err_encap() to reflect the fact this
  won't work with lwtunnels configured to use asymmetric ports. By the way,
  it's VXLAN, not VxLAN (Jiri Benc)

In some scenarios, the GRO engine can assemble an UDP GRO packet
that ultimately lands on a non GRO-enabled socket.
This patch tries to address the issue explicitly checking for the UDP
socket features before enqueuing the packet, and eventually segmenting
the unexpected GRO packet, as needed.

We must also cope with re-insertion requests: after segmentation the
UDP code calls the helper introduced by the previous patches, as needed.

Segmentation is performed by a common helper, which takes care of
updating socket and protocol stats is case of failure.

rfc v3 -&gt; v1
 - fix compile issues with rxrpc
 - when gso_segment returns NULL, treat is as an error
 - added 'ipv4' argument to udp_rcv_segment()

rfc v2 -&gt; rfc v3
 - moved udp_rcv_segment() into net/udp.h, account errors to socket
   and ns, always return NULL or segs list

When UDP GRO is enabled, the UDP_GRO cmsg will carry the ingress
datagram size. User-space can use such info to compute the original
packets layout.

<title>udp: implement GRO for plain UDP sockets.</title>

This is the RX counterpart of commit bec1f6f69736 ("udp: generate gso
with UDP_SEGMENT"). When UDP_GRO is enabled, such socket is also
eligible for GRO in the rx path: UDP segments directed to such socket
are assembled into a larger GSO_UDP_L4 packet.

The core UDP GRO support is enabled with setsockopt(UDP_GRO).

Initial benchmark numbers:

Before:
udp rx:   1079 MB/s   769065 calls/s

After:
udp rx:   1466 MB/s    24877 calls/s

This change introduces a side effect in respect to UDP tunnels:
after a UDP tunnel creation, now the kernel performs a lookup per ingress
UDP packet, while before such lookup happened only if the ingress packet
carried a valid internal header csum.

rfc v2 -&gt; rfc v3:
 - fixed typos in macro name and comments
 - really enforce UDP_GRO_CNT_MAX, instead of UDP_GRO_CNT_MAX + 1
 - acquire socket lock in UDP_GRO setsockopt

rfc v1 -&gt; rfc v2:
 - use a new option to enable UDP GRO
 - use static keys to protect the UDP GRO socket lookup
