From netdev/egress, skb-&gt;len can include the ethernet header, therefore,
subtract network offset from skb-&gt;len when validating IPv6 packet length.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: restore IP sanity checks for netdev/egress</title>

Subtract network offset to skb-&gt;len before performing IPv4 header sanity
checks, then adjust transport offset from offset from mac header.

Jorge Ortiz says:

When small UDP packets (&lt; 4 bytes payload) are sent from eth0,
`meta l4proto udp` condition is not met because `NFT_PKTINFO_L4PROTO` is
not set. This happens because there is a comparison that checks if the
transport header offset exceeds the total length.  This comparison does
not take into account the fact that the skb network offset might be
non-zero in egress mode (e.g., 14 bytes for Ethernet header).

<title>sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers</title>

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function
signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table
structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function
pointers cannot be modified.

pull-request: bpf-next 2024-07-08

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

We've added 102 non-merge commits during the last 28 day(s) which contain
a total of 127 files changed, 4606 insertions(+), 980 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Support resilient split BTF which cuts down on duplication and makes BTF
   as compact as possible wrt BTF from modules, from Alan Maguire &amp; Eduard Zingerman.

2) Add support for dumping kfunc prototypes from BTF which enables both detecting
   as well as dumping compilable prototypes for kfuncs, from Daniel Xu.

3) Batch of s390x BPF JIT improvements to add support for BPF arena and to implement
   support for BPF exceptions, from Ilya Leoshkevich.

4) Batch of riscv64 BPF JIT improvements in particular to add 12-argument support
   for BPF trampolines and to utilize bpf_prog_pack for the latter, from Pu Lehui.

5) Extend BPF test infrastructure to add a CHECKSUM_COMPLETE validation option
   for skbs and add coverage along with it, from Vadim Fedorenko.

6) Inline bpf_get_current_task/_btf() helpers in the arm64 BPF JIT which gives
   a small 1% performance improvement in micro-benchmarks, from Puranjay Mohan.

7) Extend the BPF verifier to track the delta between linked registers in order
   to better deal with recent LLVM code optimizations, from Alexei Starovoitov.

8) Fix bpf_wq_set_callback_impl() kfunc signature where the third argument should
   have been a pointer to the map value, from Benjamin Tissoires.

9) Extend BPF selftests to add regular expression support for test output matching
   and adjust some of the selftest when compiled under gcc, from Cupertino Miranda.

10) Simplify task_file_seq_get_next() and remove an unnecessary loop which always
    iterates exactly once anyway, from Dan Carpenter.

11) Add the capability to offload the netfilter flowtable in XDP layer through
    kfuncs, from Florian Westphal &amp; Lorenzo Bianconi.

12) Various cleanups in networking helpers in BPF selftests to shave off a few
    lines of open-coded functions on client/server handling, from Geliang Tang.

13) Properly propagate prog-&gt;aux-&gt;tail_call_reachable out of BPF verifier, so
    that x86 JIT does not need to implement detection, from Leon Hwang.

14) Fix BPF verifier to add a missing check_func_arg_reg_off() to prevent an
    out-of-bounds memory access for dynpointers, from Matt Bobrowski.

15) Fix bpf_session_cookie() kfunc to return __u64 instead of long pointer as
    it might lead to problems on 32-bit archs, from Jiri Olsa.

16) Enhance traffic validation and dynamic batch size support in xsk selftests,
    from Tushar Vyavahare.

of a given flowtable entry based on a fib tuple of incoming traffic.
bpf_xdp_flow_lookup can be used as building block to offload in xdp
the processing of sw flowtable when hw flowtable is not available.

This adds a small internal mapping table so that a new bpf (xdp) kfunc
can perform lookups in a flowtable.

As-is, xdp program has access to the device pointer, but no way to do a
lookup in a flowtable -- there is no way to obtain the needed struct
without questionable stunts.

This allows to obtain an nf_flowtable pointer given a net_device
structure.

In order to keep backward compatibility, the infrastructure allows the
user to add a given device to multiple flowtables, but it will always
return the first added mapping performing the lookup since it assumes
the right configuration is 1:1 mapping between flowtables and net_devices.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next:

Patch #1 to #11 to shrink memory consumption for transaction objects:

  struct nft_trans_chain { /* size: 120 (-32), cachelines: 2, members: 10 */
  struct nft_trans_elem { /* size: 72 (-40), cachelines: 2, members: 4 */
  struct nft_trans_flowtable { /* size: 80 (-48), cachelines: 2, members: 5 */
  struct nft_trans_obj { /* size: 72 (-40), cachelines: 2, members: 4 */
  struct nft_trans_rule { /* size: 80 (-32), cachelines: 2, members: 6 */
  struct nft_trans_set { /* size: 96 (-24), cachelines: 2, members: 8 */
  struct nft_trans_table { /* size: 56 (-40), cachelines: 1, members: 2 */

  struct nft_trans_elem can now be allocated from kmalloc-96 instead of
  kmalloc-128 slab.

  Series from Florian Westphal. For the record, I have mangled patch #1
  to add nft_trans_container_*() and use if for every transaction object.
   I have also added BUILD_BUG_ON to ensure struct nft_trans always comes
  at the beginning of the container transaction object. And few minor
  cleanups, any new bugs are of my own.

Patch #12 simplify check for SCTP GSO in IPVS, from Ismael Luceno.

Patch #13 nf_conncount key length remains in the u32 bound, from Yunjian Wang.

Patch #14 removes unnecessary check for CTA_TIMEOUT_L3PROTO when setting
          default conntrack timeouts via nfnetlink_cttimeout API, from
          Lin Ma.

Patch #15 updates NFT_SECMARK_CTX_MAXLEN to 4096, SELinux could use
          larger secctx names than the existing 256 bytes length.

Patch #16 adds a selftest to exercise nfnetlink_queue listeners leaving
          nfnetlink_queue, from Florian Westphal.

Patch #17 increases hitcount from 255 to 65535 in xt_recent, from Phil Sutter.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: fully validate NFT_DATA_VALUE on store to data registers</title>

register store validation for NFT_DATA_VALUE is conditional, however,
the datatype is always either NFT_DATA_VALUE or NFT_DATA_VERDICT. This
only requires a new helper function to infer the register type from the
set datatype so this conditional check can be removed. Otherwise,
pointer to chain object can be leaked through the registers.

nft_ctx is huge and most of the information stored within isn't used
at all.

Remove nft_ctx member from the base transaction structure and store
only what is needed.

After this change, relevant struct sizes are:

struct nft_trans_chain { /* size: 120 (-32), cachelines: 2, members: 10 */
struct nft_trans_elem { /* size: 72 (-40), cachelines: 2, members: 4 */
struct nft_trans_flowtable { /* size: 80 (-48), cachelines: 2, members: 5 */
struct nft_trans_obj { /* size: 72 (-40), cachelines: 2, members: 4 */
struct nft_trans_rule { /* size: 80 (-32), cachelines: 2, members: 6 */
struct nft_trans_set { /* size: 96 (-24), cachelines: 2, members: 8 */
struct nft_trans_table { /* size: 56 (-40), cachelines: 1, members: 2 */

struct nft_trans_elem can now be allocated from kmalloc-96 instead of
kmalloc-128 slab.
A further reduction by 8 bytes would even allow for kmalloc-64.

Currently the chain can be derived from trans-&gt;ctx.chain, but
the ctx will go away soon.

Thus add the chain pointer to nft_trans_rule structure itself.
