commit 082f2300cfa1a3d9d5221c38c5eba85d4ab98bd8 upstream.

Local random address needs to be updated before creating connection if
RPA from LE Direct Advertising Report was resolved in host. Otherwise
remote device might ignore connection request due to address mismatch.

This was affecting following qualification test cases:
GAP/CONN/SCEP/BV-03-C, GAP/CONN/GCEP/BV-05-C, GAP/CONN/DCEP/BV-05-C

[ Upstream commit 3f01ddb962dc506916c243f9524e8bef97119b77 ]

On receiving a packet the state index points to the rstate which must be
used to fill up IP and TCP headers. But if the state index points to a
rstate which is unitialized, i.e. filled with zeros, it gets stuck in an
infinite loop inside ip_fast_csum trying to compute the ip checsum of a
header with zero length.

<title>llc: properly handle dev_queue_xmit() return value</title>

llc_conn_send_pdu() pushes the skb into write queue and
calls llc_conn_send_pdus() to flush them out. However, the
status of dev_queue_xmit() is not returned to caller,
in this case, llc_conn_state_process().

llc_conn_state_process() needs hold the skb no matter
success or failure, because it still uses it after that,
therefore we should hold skb before dev_queue_xmit() when
that skb is the one being processed by llc_conn_state_process().

For other callers, they can just pass NULL and ignore
the return value as they are.

<title>net: sched, fix OOO packets with pfifo_fast</title>

<id>eb82a994479245a79647d302f9b4eb8e7c9d7ca6</id>
<content type='text'>
After the qdisc lock was dropped in pfifo_fast we allow multiple
enqueue threads and dequeue threads to run in parallel. On the
enqueue side the skb bit ooo_okay is used to ensure all related
skbs are enqueued in-order. On the dequeue side though there is
no similar logic. What we observe is with fewer queues than CPUs
it is possible to re-order packets when two instances of
__qdisc_run() are running in parallel. Each thread will dequeue
a skb and then whichever thread calls the ndo op first will
be sent on the wire. This doesn't typically happen because
qdisc_run() is usually triggered by the same core that did the
enqueue. However, drivers will trigger __netif_schedule()
when queues are transitioning from stopped to awake using the
netif_tx_wake_* APIs. When this happens netif_schedule() calls
qdisc_run() on the same CPU that did the netif_tx_wake_* which
is usually done in the interrupt completion context. This CPU
is selected with the irq affinity which is unrelated to the
enqueue operations.

To resolve this we add a RUNNING bit to the qdisc to ensure
only a single dequeue per qdisc is running. Enqueue and dequeue
operations can still run in parallel and also on multi queue
NICs we can still have a dequeue in-flight per qdisc, which
is typically per CPU.

Netfilter fixes for net

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for your net tree,
they are:

1) Don't pick fixed hash implementation for NFT_SET_EVAL sets, otherwise
   userspace hits EOPNOTSUPP with valid rules using the meter statement,
   from Florian Westphal.

2) If you send a batch that flushes the existing ruleset (that contains
   a NAT chain) and the new ruleset definition comes with a new NAT
   chain, don't bogusly hit EBUSY. Also from Florian.

3) Missing netlink policy attribute validation, from Florian.

4) Detach conntrack template from skbuff if IP_NODEFRAG is set on,
   from Paolo Abeni.

5) Cache device names in flowtable object, otherwise we may end up
   walking over devices going aways given no rtnl_lock is held.

6) Fix incorrect net_device ingress with ingress hooks.

7) Fix crash when trying to read more data than available in UDP
   packets from the nf_socket infrastructure, from Subash.

Devices going away have to grab the nfnl_lock from the netdev event path
to avoid races with control plane updates.

However, netlink dumps in netfilter do not hold nfnl_lock mutex. Cache
the device name into the objects to avoid an use-after-free situation
for a device that is going away.

Commit 7b6ddeaf27ec ("mac80211: use QoS NDP for AP probing") added an
argument qos_ok to ieee80211_nullfunc_get to support QoS NDP. Despite
the claim in the commit log "Change all the drivers to *not* allow
QoS NDP for now, even though it looks like most of them should be OK
with that", this commit enables QoS NDP in response to beacons (see

Commit 7b6ddeaf27ec ("mac80211: use QoS NDP for AP probing") added an
argument qos_ok to ieee80211_nullfunc_get to support QoS NDP. Despite
the claim in the commit log "Change all the drivers to *not* allow
QoS NDP for now, even though it looks like most of them should be OK
with that", this commit enables QoS NDP in response to beacons (see
change to mlme.c:ieee80211_send_nullfunc), causing ath9k_htc to lose
IP connectivity. See:

<title>ipv4: lock mtu in fnhe when received PMTU &lt; net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu</title>

Prior to the rework of PMTU information storage in commit
2c8cec5c10bc ("ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer."),
when a PMTU event advertising a PMTU smaller than
net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu was received, we would disable setting the DF
flag on packets by locking the MTU metric, and set the PMTU to
net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu.

Since then, we don't disable DF, and set PMTU to
net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu, so the intermediate router that has this link
with a small MTU will have to drop the packets.

This patch reestablishes pre-2.6.39 behavior by splitting
rtable-&gt;rt_pmtu into a bitfield with rt_mtu_locked and rt_pmtu.
rt_mtu_locked indicates that we shouldn't set the DF bit on that path,
and is checked in ip_dont_fragment().

One possible workaround is to set net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu to a value low
enough to accommodate the lowest MTU encountered.

Fixes: 2c8cec5c10bc ("ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer.")

====================
pull request (net): ipsec 2018-03-13

1) Refuse to insert 32 bit userspace socket policies on 64
   bit systems like we do it for standard policies. We don't
   have a compat layer, so inserting socket policies from
   32 bit userspace will lead to a broken configuration.

2) Make the policy hold queue work without the flowcache.
   Dummy bundles are not chached anymore, so we need to
   generate a new one on each lookup as long as the SAs
   are not yet in place.

3) Fix the validation of the esn replay attribute. The
   The sanity check in verify_replay() is bypassed if
   the XFRM_STATE_ESN flag is not set. Fix this by doing
   the sanity check uncoditionally.
   From Florian Westphal.

4) After most of the dst_entry garbage collection code
   is removed, we may leak xfrm_dst entries as they are
   neither cached nor tracked somewhere. Fix this by
   reusing the 'uncached_list' to track xfrm_dst entries
   too. From Xin Long.

5) Fix a rcu_read_lock/rcu_read_unlock imbalance in
   xfrm_get_tos() From Xin Long.

6) Fix an infinite loop in xfrm_get_dst_nexthop. On
   transport mode we fetch the child dst_entry after
   we continue, so this pointer is never updated.
   Fix this by fetching it before we continue.

7) Fix ESN sequence number gap after IPsec GSO packets.
    We accidentally increment the sequence number counter
    on the xfrm_state by one packet too much in the ESN
    case. Fix this by setting the sequence number to the
    correct value.

8) Reset the ethernet protocol after decapsulation only if a
   mac header was set. Otherwise it breaks configurations
   with TUN devices. From Yossi Kuperman.

9) Fix __this_cpu_read() usage in preemptible code. Use
   this_cpu_read() instead in ipcomp_alloc_tfms().
   From Greg Hackmann.

<title>sock_diag: request _diag module only when the family or proto has been registered</title>

<id>bf2ae2e4bf9360e07c0cdfa166bcdc0afd92f4ce</id>
<content type='text'>
Now when using 'ss' in iproute, kernel would try to load all _diag
modules, which also causes corresponding family and proto modules
to be loaded as well due to module dependencies.

Like after running 'ss', sctp, dccp, af_packet (if it works as a module)
would be loaded.

For example:

  $ lsmod|grep sctp
  $ ss
  $ lsmod|grep sctp
  sctp_diag              16384  0
  sctp                  323584  5 sctp_diag
  inet_diag              24576  4 raw_diag,tcp_diag,sctp_diag,udp_diag
  libcrc32c              16384  3 nf_conntrack,nf_nat,sctp

As these family and proto modules are loaded unintentionally, it
could cause some problems, like:

- Some debug tools use 'ss' to collect the socket info, which loads all
  those diag and family and protocol modules. It's noisy for identifying
  issues.

- Users usually expect to drop sctp init packet silently when they
  have no sense of sctp protocol instead of sending abort back.

- It wastes resources (especially with multiple netns), and SCTP module
  can't be unloaded once it's loaded.

...

In short, it's really inappropriate to have these family and proto
modules loaded unexpectedly when just doing debugging with inet_diag.

This patch is to introduce sock_load_diag_module() where it loads
the _diag module only when it's corresponding family or proto has
been already registered.

Note that we can't just load _diag module without the family or
proto loaded, as some symbols used in _diag module are from the
family or proto module.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - move inet proto check to inet_diag to avoid a compiling err.
v2-&gt;v3:
  - define sock_load_diag_module in sock.c and export one symbol
    only.
  - improve the changelog.
