[ Upstream commit 2ccccf5fb43ff62b2b96cc58d95fc0b3596516e4 ]

When the bottom qdisc decides to, for example, drop some packet,
it calls qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() to update the queue length
for all its ancestors, we need to update the backlog too to
keep the stats on root qdisc accurate.

<title>soreuseport: fix ordering for mixed v4/v6 sockets</title>

[ Upstream commit d894ba18d4e449b3a7f6eb491f16c9e02933736e ]

With the SO_REUSEPORT socket option, it is possible to create sockets
in the AF_INET and AF_INET6 domains which are bound to the same IPv4 address.
This is only possible with SO_REUSEPORT and when not using IPV6_V6ONLY on
the AF_INET6 sockets.

Prior to the commits referenced below, an incoming IPv4 packet would
always be routed to a socket of type AF_INET when this mixed-mode was used.
After those changes, the same packet would be routed to the most recently
bound socket (if this happened to be an AF_INET6 socket, it would
have an IPv4 mapped IPv6 address).

The change in behavior occurred because the recent SO_REUSEPORT optimizations
short-circuit the socket scoring logic as soon as they find a match.  They
did not take into account the scoring logic that favors AF_INET sockets
over AF_INET6 sockets in the event of a tie.

To fix this problem, this patch changes the insertion order of AF_INET
and AF_INET6 addresses in the TCP and UDP socket lists when the sockets
have SO_REUSEPORT set.  AF_INET sockets will be inserted at the head of the
list and AF_INET6 sockets with SO_REUSEPORT set will always be inserted at
the tail of the list.  This will force AF_INET sockets to always be
considered first.

Fixes: e32ea7e74727 ("soreuseport: fast reuseport UDP socket selection")
Fixes: 125e80b88687 ("soreuseport: fast reuseport TCP socket selection")

<title>ipvs: drop first packet to redirect conntrack</title>

commit f719e3754ee2f7275437e61a6afd520181fdd43b upstream.

Jiri Bohac is reporting for a problem where the attempt
to reschedule existing connection to another real server
needs proper redirect for the conntrack used by the IPVS
connection. For example, when IPVS connection is created
to NAT-ed real server we alter the reply direction of
conntrack. If we later decide to select different real
server we can not alter again the conntrack. And if we
expire the old connection, the new connection is left
without conntrack.

So, the only way to redirect both the IPVS connection and
the Netfilter's conntrack is to drop the SYN packet that
hits existing connection, to wait for the next jiffie
to expire the old connection and its conntrack and to rely
on client's retransmission to create new connection as
usually.

Jiri Bohac provided a fix that drops all SYNs on rescheduling,
I extended his patch to do such drops only for connections
that use conntrack. Here is the original report from Jiri Bohac:

Since commit dc7b3eb900aa ("ipvs: Fix reuse connection if real server
is dead"), new connections to dead servers are redistributed
immediately to new servers.  The old connection is expired using
ip_vs_conn_expire_now() which sets the connection timer to expire
immediately.

However, before the timer callback, ip_vs_conn_expire(), is run
to clean the connection's conntrack entry, the new redistributed
connection may already be established and its conntrack removed
instead.

Fix this by dropping the first packet of the new connection
instead, like we do when the destination server is not available.
The timer will have deleted the old conntrack entry long before
the first packet of the new connection is retransmitted.

[ Upstream commit fe30937b65354c7fec244caebbdaae68e28ca797 ]

bond_get_stats() can be called from rtnetlink (with RTNL held)
or from /proc/net/dev seq handler (with RCU held)

The logic added in commit 5f0c5f73e5ef ("bonding: make global bonding
stats more reliable") kind of assumed only one cpu could run there.

If multiple threads are reading /proc/net/dev, stats can be really
messed up after a while.

A second problem is that some fields are 32bit, so we need to properly
handle the wrap around problem.

Given that RTNL is not always held, we need to use
bond_for_each_slave_rcu().

====================
Another small set of fixes:
 * stop critical protocol session on disconnect to avoid
   it getting stuck
 * wext: fix two RTNL message ordering issues
 * fix an uninitialized value (found by KASAN)
 * fix an out-of-bounds access (also found by KASAN)
 * clear connection keys when freeing them in all cases
   (IBSS, all other places already did so)
 * fix expected throughput unit to get consistent values
 * set default TX aggregation timeout to 0 in minstrel
   to avoid (really just hide) issues and perform better

We also need to make sure listener is still there before
calling sk-&gt;sk_data_ready(), by holding a reference on it,
since the reference carried by the child can disappear as
soon as the child is put on accept queue.

Since the gc of ipv4 route was removed, the route cached would has
no chance to be removed, and even it has been timeout, it still could
be used, cause no code to check it's expires.

Fix this issue by checking  and removing route cache when we get route.

Since the gc of ipv4 route was removed, the route cached would has
no chance to be removed, and even it has been timeout, it still could
be used, cause no code to check it's expires.

Fix this issue by checking  and removing route cache when we get route.

<title>vxlan, gre, geneve: Set a large MTU on ovs-created tunnel devices</title>

Prior to 4.3, openvswitch tunnel vports (vxlan, gre and geneve) could
transmit vxlan packets of any size, constrained only by the ability to
send out the resulting packets.  4.3 introduced netdevs corresponding
to tunnel vports.  These netdevs have an MTU, which limits the size of
a packet that can be successfully encapsulated.  The default MTU
values are low (1500 or less), which is awkwardly small in the context
of physical networks supporting jumbo frames, and leads to a
conspicuous change in behaviour for userspace.

Instead, set the MTU on openvswitch-created netdevs to be the relevant
maximum (i.e. the maximum IP packet size minus any relevant overhead),
effectively restoring the behaviour prior to 4.3.

Petr Novopashenniy reported that ICMP redirects on SYN_RECV sockets
were leading to RST.

This is of course incorrect.

A specific list of ICMP messages should be able to drop a SYN_RECV.

For instance, a REDIRECT on SYN_RECV shall be ignored, as we do
not hold a dst per SYN_RECV pseudo request.
