[ Upstream commit 3a0ed3e9619738067214871e9cb826fa23b2ddb9 ]

Al Viro mentioned (Message-ID
&lt;20170626041334.GZ10672@ZenIV.linux.org.uk&gt;)
that there is probably a race condition
lurking in accesses of sk_stamp on 32-bit machines.

sock-&gt;sk_stamp is of type ktime_t which is always an s64.
On a 32 bit architecture, we might run into situations of
unsafe access as the access to the field becomes non atomic.

Use seqlocks for synchronization.
This allows us to avoid using spinlocks for readers as
readers do not need mutual exclusion.

Another approach to solve this is to require sk_lock for all
modifications of the timestamps. The current approach allows
for timestamps to have their own lock: sk_stamp_lock.
This allows for the patch to not compete with already
existing critical sections, and side effects are limited
to the paths in the patch.

The addition of the new field maintains the data locality
optimizations from
commit 9115e8cd2a0c ("net: reorganize struct sock for better data
locality")

Note that all the instances of the sk_stamp accesses
are either through the ioctl or the syscall recvmsg.

<title>neighbour: Avoid writing before skb-&gt;head in neigh_hh_output()</title>

[ Upstream commit e6ac64d4c4d095085d7dd71cbd05704ac99829b2 ]

While skb_push() makes the kernel panic if the skb headroom is less than
the unaligned hardware header size, it will proceed normally in case we
copy more than that because of alignment, and we'll silently corrupt
adjacent slabs.

In the case fixed by the previous patch,
"ipv6: Check available headroom in ip6_xmit() even without options", we
end up in neigh_hh_output() with 14 bytes headroom, 14 bytes hardware
header and write 16 bytes, starting 2 bytes before the allocated buffer.

Always check we're not writing before skb-&gt;head and, if the headroom is
not enough, warn and drop the packet.

v2:
 - instead of panicking with BUG_ON(), WARN_ON_ONCE() and drop the packet
   (Eric Dumazet)
 - if we avoid the panic, though, we need to explicitly check the headroom
   before the memcpy(), otherwise we'll have corrupted slabs on a running
   kernel, after we warn
 - use __skb_push() instead of skb_push(), as the headroom check is
   already implemented here explicitly (Eric Dumazet)

[ Upstream commit 415e3d3e90ce9e18727e8843ae343eda5a58fad6 ]

The commit referenced in the Fixes tag incorrectly accounted the number
of in-flight fds over a unix domain socket to the original opener
of the file-descriptor. This allows another process to arbitrary
deplete the original file-openers resource limit for the maximum of
open files. Instead the sending processes and its struct cred should
be credited.

To do so, we add a reference counted struct user_struct pointer to the
scm_fp_list and use it to account for the number of inflight unix fds.

[ Upstream commit 9ce7bc036ae4cfe3393232c86e9e1fea2153c237 ]

It is a waste of memory to use a full "struct netns_sysctl_ipv6"
while only one pointer is really used, considering netns_sysctl_ipv6
keeps growing.

Also, since "struct netns_frags" has cache line alignment,
it is better to move the frags_hdr pointer outside, otherwise
we spend a full cache line for this pointer.

This saves 192 bytes of memory per netns.

<title>vsock: split dwork to avoid reinitializations</title>

[ Upstream commit 455f05ecd2b219e9a216050796d30c830d9bc393 ]

syzbot reported that we reinitialize an active delayed
work in vsock_stream_connect():

	ODEBUG: init active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint:
	delayed_work_timer_fn+0x0/0x90 kernel/workqueue.c:1414
	WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 11518 at lib/debugobjects.c:329
	debug_print_object+0x16a/0x210 lib/debugobjects.c:326

The pattern is apparently wrong, we should only initialize
the dealyed work once and could repeatly schedule it. So we
have to move out the initializations to allocation side.
And to avoid confusion, we can split the shared dwork
into two, instead of re-using the same one.

llc_sap_put() decreases the refcnt before deleting sap
from the global list. Therefore, there is a chance
llc_sap_find() could find a sap with zero refcnt
in this global list.

Close this race condition by checking if refcnt is zero
or not in llc_sap_find(), if it is zero then it is being
removed so we can just treat it as gone.

       true and send an immediate ACK.

   2.  If the CE codepoint is not set and DCTCP.CE is true, set DCTCP.CE
       to false and send an immediate ACK.

Previously DCTCP implementation may continue to delay the ACK. This
patch fixes that to implement the RFC by forcing an immediate ACK.

[ Upstream commit a0496ef2c23b3b180902dd185d0d63ccbc624cf8 ]

Per DCTCP RFC8257 (Section 3.2) the ACK reflecting the CE status change
has to be sent immediately so the sender can respond quickly:

""" When receiving packets, the CE codepoint MUST be processed as follows:

   1.  If the CE codepoint is set and DCTCP.CE is false, set DCTCP.CE to
       true and send an immediate ACK.

   2.  If the CE codepoint is not set and DCTCP.CE is true, set DCTCP.CE
       to false and send an immediate ACK.

[ Upstream commit 27cde44a259c380a3c09066fc4b42de7dde9b1ad ]

Currently when a DCTCP receiver delays an ACK and receive a
data packet with a different CE mark from the previous one's, it
sends two immediate ACKs acking previous and latest sequences
respectly (for ECN accounting).

Previously sending the first ACK may mark off the delayed ACK timer
(tcp_event_ack_sent). This may subsequently prevent sending the
second ACK to acknowledge the latest sequence (tcp_ack_snd_check).
The culprit is that tcp_send_ack() assumes it always acknowleges
the latest sequence, which is not true for the first special ACK.

The fix is to not make the assumption in tcp_send_ack and check the
actual ack sequence before cancelling the delayed ACK. Further it's
safer to pass the ack sequence number as a local variable into
tcp_send_ack routine, instead of intercepting tp-&gt;rcv_nxt to avoid
future bugs like this.
