tcp: take care of truncations done by sk_filter()

2016-11-21T09:11:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit ac6e780070e30e4c35bd395acfe9191e6268bdd3 ]

With syzkaller help, Marco Grassi found a bug in TCP stack,
crashing in tcp_collapse()

Root cause is that sk_filter() can truncate the incoming skb,
but TCP stack was not really expecting this to happen.
It probably was expecting a simple DROP or ACCEPT behavior.

We first need to make sure no part of TCP header could be removed.
Then we need to adjust TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->end_seq

Many thanks to syzkaller team and Marco for giving us a reproducer.

tcp: fix use after free in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue()

2016-08-19T06:22:57+00:00

When tcp_sendmsg() allocates a fresh and empty skb, it puts it at the
tail of the write queue using tcp_add_write_queue_tail()

Then it attempts to copy user data into this fresh skb.

If the copy fails, we undo the work and remove the fresh skb.

Unfortunately, this undo lacks the change done to tp->highest_sack and
we can leave a dangling pointer (to a freed skb)

Later, tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue() can dereference this pointer and
access freed memory. For regular kernels where memory is not unmapped,
this might cause SACK bugs because tcp_highest_sack_seq() is buggy,
returning garbage instead of tp->snd_nxt, but with various debug
features like CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, this can crash the kernel.

This bug was found by Marco Grassi thanks to syzkaller.

tcp: md5: use kmalloc() backed scratch areas

2016-07-01T08:02:55+00:00

Some arches have virtually mapped kernel stacks, or will soon have.

tcp_md5_hash_header() uses an automatic variable to copy tcp header
before mangling th->check and calling crypto function, which might
be problematic on such arches.

David says that using percpu storage is also problematic on non SMP
builds.

Just use kmalloc() to allocate scratch areas.

tcp: increase size at which tcp_bound_to_half_wnd bounds to > TCP_MSS_DEFAULT

2016-06-30T12:17:21+00:00

In previous commit 01f83d69844d307be2aa6fea88b0e8fe5cbdb2f4
the following comments were added:

"When peer uses tiny windows, there is no use in packetizing to sub-MSS
pieces for the sake of SWS or making sure there are enough packets in
the pipe for fast recovery."

The test should be > TCP_MSS_DEFAULT not >= 512. This allows low end
devices that send an MSS of 536 (TCP_MSS_DEFAULT) to see better network
performance by sending it 536 bytes of data at a time instead of bounding
to half window size (268). Other network stacks work this way, e.g. HP-UX.

net: l3mdev: Add hook in ip and ipv6

2016-05-11T23:31:40+00:00

Currently the VRF driver uses the rx_handler to switch the skb device
to the VRF device. Switching the dev prior to the ip / ipv6 layer
means the VRF driver has to duplicate IP/IPv6 processing which adds
overhead and makes features such as retaining the ingress device index
more complicated than necessary.

This patch moves the hook to the L3 layer just after the first NF_HOOK
for PRE_ROUTING. This location makes exposing the original ingress device
trivial (next patch) and allows adding other NF_HOOKs to the VRF driver
in the future.

dev_queue_xmit_nit is exported so that the VRF driver can cycle the skb
with the switched device through the packet taps to maintain current
behavior (tcpdump can be used on either the vrf device or the enslaved
devices).

tcp: replace cnt & rtt with struct in pkts_acked()

2016-05-11T18:43:19+00:00

Replace 2 arguments (cnt and rtt) in the congestion control modules'
pkts_acked() function with a struct. This will allow adding more
information without having to modify existing congestion control
modules (tcp_nv in particular needs bytes in flight when packet
was sent).

As proposed by Neal Cardwell in his comments to the tcp_nv patch.

tcp: refactor struct tcp_skb_cb

2016-05-09T04:03:26+00:00

Refactor tcp_skb_cb to create two overlaping areas to store
state for incoming or outgoing skbs based on comments by
Neal Cardwell to tcp_nv patch:

   AFAICT this patch would not require an increase in the size of
   sk_buff cb[] if it were to take advantage of the fact that the
   tcp_skb_cb header.h4 and header.h6 fields are only used in the packet
   reception code path, and this in_flight field is only used on the
   transmit side.

tcp: Make use of MSG_EOR in tcp_sendmsg

2016-04-28T20:14:18+00:00

This patch adds an eor bit to the TCP_SKB_CB.  When MSG_EOR
is passed to tcp_sendmsg, the eor bit will be set at the skb
containing the last byte of the userland's msg.  The eor bit
will prevent data from appending to that skb in the future.

The change in do_tcp_sendpages is to honor the eor set
during the previous tcp_sendmsg(MSG_EOR) call.

This patch handles the tcp_sendmsg case.  The followup patches
will handle other skb coalescing and fragment cases.

One potential use case is to use MSG_EOR with
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK to get a more accurate
TCP ack timestamping on application protocol with
multiple outgoing response messages (e.g. HTTP2).

net: snmp: kill STATS_BH macros

2016-04-28T02:48:25+00:00

There is nothing related to BH in SNMP counters anymore,
since linux-3.0.

Rename helpers to use __ prefix instead of _BH prefix,
for contexts where preemption is disabled.

This more closely matches convention used to update
percpu variables.
