commit 6043b794c7668c19dabc4a93c75b924a19474d59 upstream.

During ILA address translations, the L4 checksums can be handled in
different ways. One of them, adj-transport, consist in parsing the
transport layer and updating any found checksum. This logic relies on
inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff and produces an incorrect skb-&gt;csum when
in state CHECKSUM_COMPLETE.

This bug can be reproduced with a simple ILA to SIR mapping, assuming
packets are received with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE:

  $ ip a show dev eth0
  14: eth0@if15: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
      link/ether 62:ae:35:9e:0f:8d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 0
      inet6 3333:0:0:1::c078/64 scope global
         valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
      inet6 fd00:10:244:1::c078/128 scope global nodad
         valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
      inet6 fe80::60ae:35ff:fe9e:f8d/64 scope link proto kernel_ll
         valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
  $ ip ila add loc_match fd00:10:244:1 loc 3333:0:0:1 \
      csum-mode adj-transport ident-type luid dev eth0

Then I hit [fd00:10:244:1::c078]:8000 with a server listening only on
[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000. With the bug, the SYN packet is dropped with
SKB_DROP_REASON_TCP_CSUM after inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff changed
skb-&gt;csum. The translation and drop are visible on pwru [1] traces:

  IFACE   TUPLE                                                        FUNC

  eth0:9  [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420-&gt;[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp)     kfree_skbmem

This is happening because inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff is updating
skb-&gt;csum when it shouldn't. The L4 checksum is updated such that it
"cancels" the IPv6 address change in terms of checksum computation, so
the impact on skb-&gt;csum is null.

Note this would be different for an IPv4 packet since three fields
would be updated: the IPv4 address, the IP checksum, and the L4
checksum. Two would cancel each other and skb-&gt;csum would still need
to be updated to take the L4 checksum change into account.

This patch fixes it by passing an ipv6 flag to
inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff, to skip the skb-&gt;csum update if we're
in the IPv6 case. Note the behavior of the only other user of
inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff, the BPF subsystem, is left as is in
this patch and fixed in the subsequent patch.

With the fix, using the reproduction from above, I can confirm
skb-&gt;csum is not touched by inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff and the TCP
SYN proceeds to the application after the ILA translation.

[ Upstream commit 2660a544fdc0940bba15f70508a46cf9a6491230 ]

sk-&gt;sk_prot-&gt;sock_is_readable is a valid function pointer when sk resides
in a sockmap. After the last sk_psock_put() (which usually happens when
socket is removed from sockmap), sk-&gt;sk_prot gets restored and
sk-&gt;sk_prot-&gt;sock_is_readable becomes NULL.

This makes sk_is_readable() racy, if the value of sk-&gt;sk_prot is reloaded
after the initial check. Which in turn may lead to a null pointer
dereference.

Ensure the function pointer does not turn NULL after the check.

As suggested by John, clean up sockmap related Kconfigs:

Reduce the scope of CONFIG_BPF_STREAM_PARSER down to TCP stream
parser, to reflect its name.

Make the rest sockmap code simply depend on CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL
and CONFIG_INET, the latter is still needed at this point because
of TCP/UDP proto update. And leave CONFIG_NET_SOCK_MSG untouched,
as it is used by non-sockmap cases.

[ Upstream commit 05dc72aba364d374a27de567fac58c199ff5ee97 ]

Both tcp_data_ready() and tcp_stream_is_readable() share the same logic.

Add tcp_epollin_ready() helper to avoid duplication.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: do not defer rule destruction via call_rcu</title>

commit b04df3da1b5c6f6dc7cdccc37941740c078c4043 upstream.

nf_tables_chain_destroy can sleep, it can't be used from call_rcu
callbacks.

Moreover, nf_tables_rule_release() is only safe for error unwinding,
while transaction mutex is held and the to-be-desroyed rule was not
exposed to either dataplane or dumps, as it deactives+frees without
the required synchronize_rcu() in-between.

nft_rule_expr_deactivate() callbacks will change -&gt;use counters
of other chains/sets, see e.g. nft_lookup .deactivate callback, these
must be serialized via transaction mutex.

Also add a few lockdep asserts to make this more explicit.

Calling synchronize_rcu() isn't ideal, but fixing this without is hard
and way more intrusive.  As-is, we can get:

WARNING: .. net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:5515 nft_set_destroy+0x..
Workqueue: events nf_tables_trans_destroy_work
RIP: 0010:nft_set_destroy+0x3fe/0x5c0

 &lt;TASK&gt;
 nf_tables_trans_destroy_work+0x6b7/0xad0
 process_one_work+0x64a/0xce0
 worker_thread+0x613/0x10d0

In case the synchronize_rcu becomes an issue, we can explore alternatives.

One way would be to allocate nft_trans_rule objects + one nft_trans_chain
object, deactivate the rules + the chain and then defer the freeing to the
nft destroy workqueue.  We'd still need to keep the synchronize_rcu path as
a fallback to handle -ENOMEM corner cases though.

commit c03d278fdf35e73dd0ec543b9b556876b9d9a8dc upstream.

8c873e219970 ("netfilter: core: free hooks with call_rcu") removed
synchronize_net() call when unregistering basechain hook, however,
net_device removal event handler for the NFPROTO_NETDEV was not updated
to wait for RCU grace period.

Note that 835b803377f5 ("netfilter: nf_tables_netdev: unregister hooks
on net_device removal") does not remove basechain rules on device
removal, I was hinted to remove rules on net_device removal later, see
5ebe0b0eec9d ("netfilter: nf_tables: destroy basechain and rules on
netdevice removal").

Although NETDEV_UNREGISTER event is guaranteed to be handled after
synchronize_net() call, this path needs to wait for rcu grace period via
rcu callback to release basechain hooks if netns is alive because an
ongoing netlink dump could be in progress (sockets hold a reference on
the netns).

Note that nf_tables_pre_exit_net() unregisters and releases basechain
hooks but it is possible to see NETDEV_UNREGISTER at a later stage in
the netns exit path, eg. veth peer device in another netns:

 cleanup_net()
  default_device_exit_batch()
   unregister_netdevice_many_notify()
    notifier_call_chain()
     nf_tables_netdev_event()
      __nft_release_basechain()

In this particular case, same rule of thumb applies: if netns is alive,
then wait for rcu grace period because netlink dump in the other netns
could be in progress. Otherwise, if the other netns is going away then
no netlink dump can be in progress and basechain hooks can be released
inmediately.

While at it, turn WARN_ON() into WARN_ON_ONCE() for the basechain
validation, which should not ever happen.

commit 8965d42bcf54d42cbc72fe34a9d0ec3f8527debd upstream.

It would be better to not store nft_ctx inside nft_trans object,
the netlink ctx strucutre is huge and most of its information is
never needed in places that use trans-&gt;ctx.

Avoid/reduce its usage if possible, no runtime behaviour change
intended.

<title>net_sched: Flush gso_skb list too during -&gt;change()</title>

[ Upstream commit 2d3cbfd6d54a2c39ce3244f33f85c595844bd7b8 ]

Previously, when reducing a qdisc's limit via the -&gt;change() operation, only
the main skb queue was trimmed, potentially leaving packets in the gso_skb
list. This could result in NULL pointer dereference when we only check
sch-&gt;limit against sch-&gt;q.qlen.

This patch introduces a new helper, qdisc_dequeue_internal(), which ensures
both the gso_skb list and the main queue are properly flushed when trimming
excess packets. All relevant qdiscs (codel, fq, fq_codel, fq_pie, hhf, pie)
are updated to use this helper in their -&gt;change() routines.

Fixes: 76e3cc126bb2 ("codel: Controlled Delay AQM")
Fixes: 4b549a2ef4be ("fq_codel: Fair Queue Codel AQM")
Fixes: afe4fd062416 ("pkt_sched: fq: Fair Queue packet scheduler")

commit 0f6ede9fbc747e2553612271bce108f7517e7a45 upstream.

Ilya reported a slab-use-after-free in dst_destroy [1]

Issue is in xfrm6_net_init() and xfrm4_net_init() :

They copy xfrm[46]_dst_ops_template into net-&gt;xfrm.xfrm[46]_dst_ops.

But net structure might be freed before all the dst callbacks are
called. So when dst_destroy() calls later :

if (dst-&gt;ops-&gt;destroy)
    dst-&gt;ops-&gt;destroy(dst);

dst-&gt;ops points to the old net-&gt;xfrm.xfrm[46]_dst_ops, which has been freed.

See a relevant issue fixed in :

ac888d58869b ("net: do not delay dst_entries_add() in dst_release()")

A fix is to queue the 'struct net' to be freed after one
another cleanup_net() round (and existing rcu_barrier())

commit 0f6ede9fbc747e2553612271bce108f7517e7a45 upstream.

Ilya reported a slab-use-after-free in dst_destroy [1]

Issue is in xfrm6_net_init() and xfrm4_net_init() :

They copy xfrm[46]_dst_ops_template into net-&gt;xfrm.xfrm[46]_dst_ops.

But net structure might be freed before all the dst callbacks are
called. So when dst_destroy() calls later :

if (dst-&gt;ops-&gt;destroy)
    dst-&gt;ops-&gt;destroy(dst);

dst-&gt;ops points to the old net-&gt;xfrm.xfrm[46]_dst_ops, which has been freed.

See a relevant issue fixed in :

ac888d58869b ("net: do not delay dst_entries_add() in dst_release()")

A fix is to queue the 'struct net' to be freed after one
another cleanup_net() round (and existing rcu_barrier())

[1]
