[ Upstream commit 0412cc846a1ef38697c3f321f9b174da91ecd3b5 ]

Indicate next PN update using update_pn flag in macsec_context.
Offloaded MACsec implementations does not know whether or not the
MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN attribute was passed for an SA update and assume
that next PN should always updated, but this is not always true.

The PN can be reset to its initial value using the following command:
$ ip macsec set macsec0 tx sa 0 off #octeontx2-pf case

Or, the update PN command will succeed even if the driver does not support
PN updates.
$ ip macsec set macsec0 tx sa 0 pn 1 on #mscc phy driver case

Comparing the initial PN with the new PN value is not a solution. When
the user updates the PN using its initial value the command will
succeed, even if the driver does not support it. Like this:
$ ip macsec add macsec0 tx sa 0 pn 1 on key 00 \
ead3664f508eb06c40ac7104cdae4ce5
$ ip macsec set macsec0 tx sa 0 pn 1 on #mlx5 case

<title>tcp: fix quick-ack counting to count actual ACKs of new data</title>

[ Upstream commit 059217c18be6757b95bfd77ba53fb50b48b8a816 ]

This commit fixes quick-ack counting so that it only considers that a
quick-ack has been provided if we are sending an ACK that newly
acknowledges data.

The code was erroneously using the number of data segments in outgoing
skbs when deciding how many quick-ack credits to remove. This logic
does not make sense, and could cause poor performance in
request-response workloads, like RPC traffic, where requests or
responses can be multi-segment skbs.

When a TCP connection decides to send N quick-acks, that is to
accelerate the cwnd growth of the congestion control module
controlling the remote endpoint of the TCP connection. That quick-ack
decision is purely about the incoming data and outgoing ACKs. It has
nothing to do with the outgoing data or the size of outgoing data.

And in particular, an ACK only serves the intended purpose of allowing
the remote congestion control to grow the congestion window quickly if
the ACK is ACKing or SACKing new data.

The fix is simple: only count packets as serving the goal of the
quickack mechanism if they are ACKing/SACKing new data. We can tell
whether this is the case by checking inet_csk_ack_scheduled(), since
we schedule an ACK exactly when we are ACKing/SACKing new data.

commit cf5000a7787cbc10341091d37245a42c119d26c5 upstream.

When more than 255 elements expired we're supposed to switch to a new gc
container structure.

This never happens: u8 type will wrap before reaching the boundary
and nft_trans_gc_space() always returns true.

This means we recycle the initial gc container structure and
lose track of the elements that came before.

While at it, don't deref 'gc' after we've passed it to call_rcu.

commit 4a9e12ea7e70223555ec010bec9f711089ce96f6 upstream.

pipapo needs to enqueue GC transactions for catchall elements through
nft_trans_gc_queue_sync(). Add nft_trans_gc_catchall_sync() and
nft_trans_gc_catchall_async() to handle GC transaction queueing
accordingly.

commit 8e51830e29e12670b4c10df070a4ea4c9593e961 upstream.

Don't queue more gc work, else we may queue the same elements multiple
times.

If an element is flagged as dead, this can mean that either the previous
gc request was invalidated/discarded by a transaction or that the previous
request is still pending in the system work queue.

The latter will happen if the gc interval is set to a very low value,
e.g. 1ms, and system work queue is backlogged.

The sets refcount is 1 if no previous gc requeusts are queued, so add
a helper for this and skip gc run if old requests are pending.

Add a helper for this and skip the gc run in this case.

commit 5f68718b34a531a556f2f50300ead2862278da26 upstream.

The set types rhashtable and rbtree use a GC worker to reclaim memory.
From system work queue, in periodic intervals, a scan of the table is
done.

The major caveat here is that the nft transaction mutex is not held.
This causes a race between control plane and GC when they attempt to
delete the same element.

We cannot grab the netlink mutex from the work queue, because the
control plane has to wait for the GC work queue in case the set is to be
removed, so we get following deadlock:

   cpu 1                                cpu2
     GC work                            transaction comes in , lock nft mutex
       `acquire nft mutex // BLOCKS
                                        transaction asks to remove the set
                                        set destruction calls cancel_work_sync()

cancel_work_sync will now block forever, because it is waiting for the
mutex the caller already owns.

This patch adds a new API that deals with garbage collection in two
steps:

1) Lockless GC of expired elements sets on the NFT_SET_ELEM_DEAD_BIT
   so they are not visible via lookup. Annotate current GC sequence in
   the GC transaction. Enqueue GC transaction work as soon as it is
   full. If ruleset is updated, then GC transaction is aborted and
   retried later.

2) GC work grabs the mutex. If GC sequence has changed then this GC
   transaction lost race with control plane, abort it as it contains
   stale references to objects and let GC try again later. If the
   ruleset is intact, then this GC transaction deactivates and removes
   the elements and it uses call_rcu() to destroy elements.

Note that no elements are removed from GC lockless path, the _DEAD bit
is set and pointers are collected. GC catchall does not remove the
elements anymore too. There is a new set-&gt;dead flag that is set on to
abort the GC transaction to deal with set-&gt;ops-&gt;destroy() path which
removes the remaining elements in the set from commit_release, where no
mutex is held.

To deal with GC when mutex is held, which allows safe deactivate and
removal, add sync GC API which releases the set element object via
call_rcu(). This is used by rbtree and pipapo backends which also
perform garbage collection from control plane path.

Since element removal from sets can happen from control plane and
element garbage collection/timeout, it is necessary to keep the set
structure alive until all elements have been deactivated and destroyed.

We cannot do a cancel_work_sync or flush_work in nft_set_destroy because
its called with the transaction mutex held, but the aforementioned async
work queue might be blocked on the very mutex that nft_set_destroy()
callchain is sitting on.

This gives us the choice of ABBA deadlock or UaF.

To avoid both, add set-&gt;refs refcount_t member. The GC API can then
increment the set refcount and release it once the elements have been
free'd.

Set backends are adapted to use the GC transaction API in a follow up
patch entitled:

  ("netfilter: nf_tables: use gc transaction API in set backends")

This is joint work with Florian Westphal.

delete the same element.

We cannot grab the netlink mutex from the work queue, because the
control plane has to wait for the GC work queue in case the set is to be
removed, so we get following deadlock:

   cpu 1                                cpu2
     GC work                            transaction comes in , lock nft mutex
       `acquire nft mutex // BLOCKS
                                        transaction asks to remove the set
                                        set destruction calls cancel_work_sync()

cancel_work_sync will now block forever, because it is waiting for the
mutex the caller already owns.

This patch adds a new API that deals with garbage collection in two
steps:

1) Lockless GC of expired elements sets on the NFT_SET_ELEM_DEAD_BIT
   so they are not visible via lookup. Annotate current GC sequence in
   the GC transaction. Enqueue GC transaction work as soon as it is
   full. If ruleset is updated, then GC transaction is aborted and
   retried later.

2) GC work grabs the mutex. If GC sequence has changed then this GC
   transaction lost race with control plane, abort it as it contains
   stale references to objects and let GC try again later. If the
   ruleset is intact, then this GC transaction deactivates and removes
   the elements and it uses call_rcu() to destroy elements.

Note that no elements are removed from GC lockless path, the _DEAD bit
is set and pointers are collected. GC catchall does not remove the
elements anymore too. There is a new set-&gt;dead flag that is set on to
abort the GC transaction to deal with set-&gt;ops-&gt;destroy() path which
removes the remaining elements in the set from commit_release, where no
mutex is held.

To deal with GC when mutex is held, which allows safe deactivate and
removal, add sync GC API which releases the set element object via
call_rcu(). This is used by rbtree and pipapo backends which also
perform garbage collection from control plane path.

Since element removal from sets can happen from control plane and
element garbage collection/timeout, it is necessary to keep the set
structure alive until all elements have been deactivated and destroyed.

We cannot do a cancel_work_sync or flush_work in nft_set_destroy because
its called with the transaction mutex held, but the aforementioned async
work queue might be blocked on the very mutex that nft_set_destroy()
callchain is sitting on.

This gives us the choice of ABBA deadlock or UaF.

To avoid both, add set-&gt;refs refcount_t member. The GC API can then
increment the set refcount and release it once the elements have been
free'd.

Set backends are adapted to use the GC transaction API in a follow up
patch entitled:

  ("netfilter: nf_tables: use gc transaction API in set backends")

This is joint work with Florian Westphal.
