[ Upstream commit d7bf2ebebc2bd61ab95e2a8e33541ef282f303d4 ]

There are a couple of places in net/sched/ that check skb-&gt;protocol and act
on the value there. However, in the presence of VLAN tags, the value stored
in skb-&gt;protocol can be inconsistent based on whether VLAN acceleration is
enabled. The commit quoted in the Fixes tag below fixed the users of
skb-&gt;protocol to use a helper that will always see the VLAN ethertype.

However, most of the callers don't actually handle the VLAN ethertype, but
expect to find the IP header type in the protocol field. This means that
things like changing the ECN field, or parsing diffserv values, stops
working if there's a VLAN tag, or if there are multiple nested VLAN
tags (QinQ).

To fix this, change the helper to take an argument that indicates whether
the caller wants to skip the VLAN tags or not. When skipping VLAN tags, we
make sure to skip all of them, so behaviour is consistent even in QinQ
mode.

To make the helper usable from the ECN code, move it to if_vlan.h instead
of pkt_sched.h.

v3:
- Remove empty lines
- Move vlan variable definitions inside loop in skb_protocol()
- Also use skb_protocol() helper in IP{,6}_ECN_decapsulate() and
  bpf_skb_ecn_set_ce()

v2:
- Use eth_type_vlan() helper in skb_protocol()
- Also fix code that reads skb-&gt;protocol directly
- Change a couple of 'if/else if' statements to switch constructs to avoid
  calling the helper twice

[ Upstream commit 394de110a73395de2ca4516b0de435e91b11b604 ]

The packets from tunnel devices (eg bareudp) may have only
metadata in the dst pointer of skb. Hence a pointer check of
neigh_lookup is needed in dst_neigh_lookup_skb

Kernel crashes when packets from bareudp device is processed in
the kernel neighbour subsytem.

[ Upstream commit 1e82a62fec613844da9e558f3493540a5b7a7b67 ]

A potential deadlock can occur during registering or unregistering a
new generic netlink family between the main nl_table_lock and the
cb_lock where each thread wants the lock held by the other, as
demonstrated below.

1) Thread 1 is performing a netlink_bind() operation on a socket. As part
   of this call, it will call netlink_lock_table(), incrementing the
   nl_table_users count to 1.
2) Thread 2 is registering (or unregistering) a genl_family via the
   genl_(un)register_family() API. The cb_lock semaphore will be taken for
   writing.
3) Thread 1 will call genl_bind() as part of the bind operation to handle
   subscribing to GENL multicast groups at the request of the user. It will
   attempt to take the cb_lock semaphore for reading, but it will fail and
   be scheduled away, waiting for Thread 2 to finish the write.
4) Thread 2 will call netlink_table_grab() during the (un)registration
   call. However, as Thread 1 has incremented nl_table_users, it will not
   be able to proceed, and both threads will be stuck waiting for the
   other.

genl_bind() is a noop, unless a genl_family implements the mcast_bind()
function to handle setting up family-specific multicast operations. Since
no one in-tree uses this functionality as Cong pointed out, simply removing
the genl_bind() function will remove the possibility for deadlock, as there
is no attempt by Thread 1 above to take the cb_lock semaphore.

[ Upstream commit 94579ac3f6d0820adc83b5dc5358ead0158101e9 ]

During IPsec performance testing, we see bad ICMP checksum. The error packet
has duplicated ESP trailer due to double validate_xmit_xfrm calls. The first call
is from ip_output, but the packet cannot be sent because
netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped is true and the packet gets dev_requeue_skb. The second
call is from NET_TX softirq. However after the first call, the packet already
has the ESP trailer.

Fix by marking the skb with XFRM_XMIT bit after the packet is handled by
validate_xmit_xfrm to avoid duplicate ESP trailer insertion.

<title>net: Do not clear the sock TX queue in sk_set_socket()</title>

[ Upstream commit 41b14fb8724d5a4b382a63cb4a1a61880347ccb8 ]

Clearing the sock TX queue in sk_set_socket() might cause unexpected
out-of-order transmit when called from sock_orphan(), as outstanding
packets can pick a different TX queue and bypass the ones already queued.

This is undesired in general. More specifically, it breaks the in-order
scheduling property guarantee for device-offloaded TLS sockets.

Remove the call to sk_tx_queue_clear() in sk_set_socket(), and add it
explicitly only where needed.

[ Upstream commit 471e39df96b9a4c4ba88a2da9e25a126624d7a9c ]

If a socket is set ipv6only, it will still send IPv4 addresses in the
INIT and INIT_ACK packets. This potentially misleads the peer into using
them, which then would cause association termination.

The fix is to not add IPv4 addresses to ipv6only sockets.

gcc-10 warns around a suspicious access to an empty struct member:

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:1522:9: warning: array subscript 0 is outside the bounds of an interior zero-length array 'u8[0]' {aka 'unsigned char[0]'} [-Wzero-length-bounds]

The code is correct but a bit unusual. Rework it slightly in a way that
does not trigger the warning, using an empty struct instead of an empty
array. There are probably more elegant ways to do this, but this is the
smallest change.

[ Upstream commit 24adbc1676af4e134e709ddc7f34cf2adc2131e4 ]

We autotune rcvbuf whenever SO_RCVLOWAT is set to account for 100%
overhead in tcp_set_rcvlowat()

This works well when skb-&gt;len/skb-&gt;truesize ratio is bigger than 0.5

But if we receive packets with small MSS, we can end up in a situation
where not enough bytes are available in the receive queue to satisfy
RCVLOWAT setting.
As our sk_rcvbuf limit is hit, we send zero windows in ACK packets,
preventing remote peer from sending more data.

Even autotuning does not help, because it only triggers at the time
user process drains the queue. If no EPOLLIN is generated, this
can not happen.

Note poll() has a similar issue, after commit
c7004482e8dc ("tcp: Respect SO_RCVLOWAT in tcp_poll().")

[ Upstream commit 9bacd256f1354883d3c1402655153367982bba49 ]

TCP stack is dumb in how it cooks its output packets.

Depending on MAX_HEADER value, we might chose a bad ending point
for the headers.

If we align the end of TCP headers to cache line boundary, we
make sure to always use the smallest number of cache lines,
which always help.
