commit 501a90c945103e8627406763dac418f20f3837b2 upstream.

syzbot was once again able to crash a host by setting a very small mtu
on loopback device.

Let's make inetdev_valid_mtu() available in include/net/ip.h,
and use it in ip_setup_cork(), so that we protect both ip_append_page()
and __ip_append_data()

Also add a READ_ONCE() when the device mtu is read.

Pairs this lockless read with one WRITE_ONCE() in __dev_set_mtu(),
even if other code paths might write over this field.

Add a big comment in include/linux/netdevice.h about dev-&gt;mtu
needing READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations.

Hopefully we will add the missing ones in followup patches.

commit 721c8dafad26ccfa90ff659ee19755e3377b829d upstream.

Syncookies borrow the -&gt;rx_opt.ts_recent_stamp field to store the
timestamp of the last synflood. Protect them with READ_ONCE() and
WRITE_ONCE() since reads and writes aren't serialised.

Use of .rx_opt.ts_recent_stamp for storing the synflood timestamp was
introduced by a0f82f64e269 ("syncookies: remove last_synq_overflow from
struct tcp_sock"). But unprotected accesses were already there when
timestamp was stored in .last_synq_overflow.

commit 04d26e7b159a396372646a480f4caa166d1b6720 upstream.

If no synflood happens for a long enough period of time, then the
synflood timestamp isn't refreshed and jiffies can advance so much
that time_after32() can't accurately compare them any more.

Therefore, we can end up in a situation where time_after32(now,
last_overflow + HZ) returns false, just because these two values are
too far apart. In that case, the synflood timestamp isn't updated as
it should be, which can trick tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() into
rejecting valid syncookies.

For example, let's consider the following scenario on a system
with HZ=1000:

  * The synflood timestamp is 0, either because that's the timestamp
    of the last synflood or, more commonly, because we're working with
    a freshly created socket.

  * We receive a new SYN, which triggers synflood protection. Let's say
    that this happens when jiffies == 2147484649 (that is,
    'synflood timestamp' + HZ + 2^31 + 1).

  * Then tcp_synq_overflow() doesn't update the synflood timestamp,
    because time_after32(2147484649, 1000) returns false.
    With:
      - 2147484649: the value of jiffies, aka. 'now'.
      - 1000: the value of 'last_overflow' + HZ.

  * A bit later, we receive the ACK completing the 3WHS. But
    cookie_v[46]_check() rejects it because tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow()
    says that we're not under synflood. That's because
    time_after32(2147484649, 120000) returns false.
    With:
      - 2147484649: the value of jiffies, aka. 'now'.
      - 120000: the value of 'last_overflow' + TCP_SYNCOOKIE_VALID.

    Of course, in reality jiffies would have increased a bit, but this
    condition will last for the next 119 seconds, which is far enough
    to accommodate for jiffie's growth.

Fix this by updating the overflow timestamp whenever jiffies isn't
within the [last_overflow, last_overflow + HZ] range. That shouldn't
have any performance impact since the update still happens at most once
per second.

Now we're guaranteed to have fresh timestamps while under synflood, so
tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() can safely use it with time_after32() in
such situations.

Stale timestamps can still make tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() return
the wrong verdict when not under synflood. This will be handled in the
next patch.

For 64 bits architectures, the problem was introduced with the
conversion of -&gt;tw_ts_recent_stamp to 32 bits integer by commit
cca9bab1b72c ("tcp: use monotonic timestamps for PAWS").
The problem has always been there on 32 bits architectures.

    that this happens when jiffies == 2147484649 (that is,
    'synflood timestamp' + HZ + 2^31 + 1).

  * Then tcp_synq_overflow() doesn't update the synflood timestamp,
    because time_after32(2147484649, 1000) returns false.
    With:
      - 2147484649: the value of jiffies, aka. 'now'.
      - 1000: the value of 'last_overflow' + HZ.

  * A bit later, we receive the ACK completing the 3WHS. But
    cookie_v[46]_check() rejects it because tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow()
    says that we're not under synflood. That's because
    time_after32(2147484649, 120000) returns false.
    With:
      - 2147484649: the value of jiffies, aka. 'now'.
      - 120000: the value of 'last_overflow' + TCP_SYNCOOKIE_VALID.

    Of course, in reality jiffies would have increased a bit, but this
    condition will last for the next 119 seconds, which is far enough
    to accommodate for jiffie's growth.

Fix this by updating the overflow timestamp whenever jiffies isn't
within the [last_overflow, last_overflow + HZ] range. That shouldn't
have any performance impact since the update still happens at most once
per second.

Now we're guaranteed to have fresh timestamps while under synflood, so
tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() can safely use it with time_after32() in
such situations.

Stale timestamps can still make tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() return
the wrong verdict when not under synflood. This will be handled in the
next patch.

For 64 bits architectures, the problem was introduced with the
conversion of -&gt;tw_ts_recent_stamp to 32 bits integer by commit
cca9bab1b72c ("tcp: use monotonic timestamps for PAWS").
The problem has always been there on 32 bits architectures.

Fixes: cca9bab1b72c ("tcp: use monotonic timestamps for PAWS")
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

commit 264ea103a7473f51aced838e68ed384ea2c759f5 upstream.

Now we allow storing more request socks per listener, we might
hit syncookie mode less often and hit following bug in our stack :

When we send a burst of syncookies, then exit this mode,
tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() can return false if the ACK packets coming
from clients are coming three seconds after the end of syncookie
episode.

This is a way too strong requirement and conflicts with rest of
syncookie code which allows ACK to be aged up to 2 minutes.

Perfectly valid ACK packets are dropped just because clients might be
in a crowded wifi environment or on another planet.

So let's fix this, and also change tcp_synq_overflow() to not
dirty a cache line for every syncookie we send, as we are under attack.

commit 5ea8ea2cb7f1d0db15762c9b0bb9e7330425a071 upstream.

Per listen(fd, backlog) rules, there is really no point accepting a SYN,
sending a SYNACK, and dropping the following ACK packet if accept queue
is full, because application is not draining accept queue fast enough.

This behavior is fooling TCP clients that believe they established a
flow, while there is nothing at server side. They might then send about
10 MSS (if using IW10) that will be dropped anyway while server is under
stress.

commit 250367c59e6ba0d79d702a059712d66edacd4a1a upstream.

Invoking the following commands on a 32-bit architecture with strict
alignment requirements (such as an ARMv7-based Raspberry Pi) results
in an alignment exception:

 # nft add table ip test-ip4
 # nft add chain ip test-ip4 output { type filter hook output priority 0; }
 # nft add rule  ip test-ip4 output quota 1025 bytes

Alignment trap: not handling instruction e1b26f9f at [&lt;7f4473f8&gt;]
Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x001) at 0xb832e824

The reason is that nft_quota_do_init() calls atomic64_set() on an
atomic64_t which is only aligned to 32-bit, not 64-bit, because it
succeeds struct nft_expr in memory which only contains a 32-bit pointer.
Fix by aligning the nft_expr private data to 64-bit.

<title>net: fix sk_page_frag() recursion from memory reclaim</title>

commit 20eb4f29b60286e0d6dc01d9c260b4bd383c58fb upstream.

sk_page_frag() optimizes skb_frag allocations by using per-task
skb_frag cache when it knows it's the only user.  The condition is
determined by seeing whether the socket allocation mask allows
blocking - if the allocation may block, it obviously owns the task's
context and ergo exclusively owns current-&gt;task_frag.

Unfortunately, this misses recursion through memory reclaim path.
Please take a look at the following backtrace.

In [0], tcp_send_msg_locked() was using current-&gt;page_frag when it
called sk_wmem_schedule().  It already calculated how many bytes can
be fit into current-&gt;page_frag.  Due to memory pressure,
sk_wmem_schedule() called into memory reclaim path which called into
xfs and then IO issue path.  Because the filesystem in question is
backed by nbd, the control goes back into the tcp layer - back into
tcp_sendmsg_locked().

nbd sets sk_allocation to (GFP_NOIO | __GFP_MEMALLOC) which makes
sense - it's in the process of freeing memory and wants to be able to,
e.g., drop clean pages to make forward progress.  However, this
confused sk_page_frag() called from [2].  Because it only tests
whether the allocation allows blocking which it does, it now thinks
current-&gt;page_frag can be used again although it already was being
used in [0].

After [2] used current-&gt;page_frag, the offset would be increased by
the used amount.  When the control returns to [0],
current-&gt;page_frag's offset is increased and the previously calculated
number of bytes now may overrun the end of allocated memory leading to
silent memory corruptions.

Fix it by adding gfpflags_normal_context() which tests sleepable &amp;&amp;
!reclaim and use it to determine whether to use current-&gt;task_frag.

v2: Eric didn't like gfp flags being tested twice.  Introduce a new
    helper gfpflags_normal_context() and combine the two tests.

!reclaim and use it to determine whether to use current-&gt;task_frag.

v2: Eric didn't like gfp flags being tested twice.  Introduce a new
    helper gfpflags_normal_context() and combine the two tests.

commit c24b75e0f9239e78105f81c5f03a751641eb07ef upstream.

syzbot reported the following issue :

Indeed, old_secure_tcp is currently a static variable, while it
needs to be a per netns variable.

<title>net: ipv4: use a dedicated counter for icmp_v4 redirect packets</title>

commit c09551c6ff7fe16a79a42133bcecba5fc2fc3291 upstream.

According to the algorithm described in the comment block at the
beginning of ip_rt_send_redirect, the host should try to send
'ip_rt_redirect_number' ICMP redirect packets with an exponential
backoff and then stop sending them at all assuming that the destination
ignores redirects.
If the device has previously sent some ICMP error packets that are
rate-limited (e.g TTL expired) and continues to receive traffic,
the redirect packets will never be transmitted. This happens since
peer-&gt;rate_tokens will be typically greater than 'ip_rt_redirect_number'
and so it will never be reset even if the redirect silence timeout
(ip_rt_redirect_silence) has elapsed without receiving any packet
requiring redirects.

Fix it by using a dedicated counter for the number of ICMP redirect
packets that has been sent by the host

I have not been able to identify a given commit that introduced the
issue since ip_rt_send_redirect implements the same rate-limiting
algorithm from commit 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
