[ 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")

[ Upstream commit 23fa6a23d97182d36ca3c71e43c804fa91e46a03 ]

Older drivers and drivers with lower queue counts often have a static
array of queues, rather than allocating structs for each queue on demand.
Add a helper for adding up qstats from a queue range. Expectation is
that driver will pass a queue range [netdev-&gt;real_num_*x_queues, MAX).
It was tempting to always use num_*x_queues as the end, but virtio
seems to clamp its queue count after allocating the netdev. And this
way we can trivaly reuse the helper for [0, real_..).

BIG Create Sync requires the command to just generates a status so this
makes use of __hci_cmd_sync_status_sk to wait for
HCI_EVT_LE_BIG_SYNC_ESTABLISHED, also because of this chance it is not
longer necessary to use a custom method to serialize the process of
creating the BIG sync since the cmd_work_sync itself ensures only one
command would be pending which now awaits for
HCI_EVT_LE_BIG_SYNC_ESTABLISHED before proceeding to next connection.

[ Upstream commit a1356ac7749cafc4e27aa62c0c4604b5dca4983e ]

Move rx_lock from xsk_socket to xsk_buff_pool.
Fix synchronization for shared umem mode in
generic RX path where multiple sockets share
single xsk_buff_pool.

RX queue is exclusive to xsk_socket, while FILL
queue can be shared between multiple sockets.
This could result in race condition where two
CPU cores access RX path of two different sockets
sharing the same umem.

Protect both queues by acquiring spinlock in shared
xsk_buff_pool.

Lock contention may be minimized in the future by some
per-thread FQ buffering.

It's safe and necessary to move spin_lock_bh(rx_lock)
after xsk_rcv_check():
* xs-&gt;pool and spinlock_init is synchronized by
  xsk_bind() -&gt; xsk_is_bound() memory barriers.
* xsk_rcv_check() may return true at the moment
  of xsk_release() or xsk_unbind_dev(),
  however this will not cause any data races or
  race conditions. xsk_unbind_dev() removes xdp
  socket from all maps and waits for completion
  of all outstanding rx operations. Packets in
  RX path will either complete safely or drop.

commit eaaff9b6702e99be5d79135f2afa9fc48a0d59e0 upstream.

In case the fib match is used from the input hook we can avoid the fib
lookup if early demux assigned a socket for us: check that the input
interface matches sk-cached one.

Rework the existing 'lo bypass' logic to first check sk, then
for loopback interface type to elide the fib lookup.

This speeds up fib matching a little, before:
93.08 GBit/s (no rules at all)
75.1  GBit/s ("fib saddr . iif oif missing drop" in prerouting)
75.62 GBit/s ("fib saddr . iif oif missing drop" in input)

After:
92.48 GBit/s (no rules at all)
75.62 GBit/s (fib rule in prerouting)
90.37 GBit/s (fib rule in input).

Numbers for the 'no rules' and 'prerouting' are expected to
closely match in-between runs, the 3rd/input test case exercises the
the 'avoid lookup if cached ifindex in sk matches' case.

Test used iperf3 via veth interface, lo can't be used due to existing
loopback test.

<title>sctp: detect and prevent references to a freed transport in sendmsg</title>

<id>2e5068b7e0ae0a54f6cfd03a2f80977da657f1ee</id>
<content type='text'>
commit f1a69a940de58b16e8249dff26f74c8cc59b32be upstream.

sctp_sendmsg() re-uses associations and transports when possible by
doing a lookup based on the socket endpoint and the message destination
address, and then sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() sets the selected transport in
all the message chunks to be sent.

There's a possible race condition if another thread triggers the removal
of that selected transport, for instance, by explicitly unbinding an
address with setsockopt(SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_REM), after the chunks have
been set up and before the message is sent. This can happen if the send
buffer is full, during the period when the sender thread temporarily
releases the socket lock in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf().

This causes the access to the transport data in
sctp_outq_select_transport(), when the association outqueue is flushed,
to result in a use-after-free read.

This change avoids this scenario by having sctp_transport_free() signal
the freeing of the transport, tagging it as "dead". In order to do this,
the patch restores the "dead" bit in struct sctp_transport, which was
removed in
commit 47faa1e4c50e ("sctp: remove the dead field of sctp_transport").

Then, in the scenario where the sender thread has released the socket
lock in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf(), the bit is checked again after
re-acquiring the socket lock to detect the deletion. This is done while
holding a reference to the transport to prevent it from being freed in
the process.

If the transport was deleted while the socket lock was relinquished,
sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() will return -EAGAIN to let userspace retry the
send.

The bug was found by a private syzbot instance (see the error report [1]
and the C reproducer that triggers it [2]).

commit f1a69a940de58b16e8249dff26f74c8cc59b32be upstream.

sctp_sendmsg() re-uses associations and transports when possible by
doing a lookup based on the socket endpoint and the message destination
address, and then sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() sets the selected transport in
all the message chunks to be sent.

There's a possible race condition if another thread triggers the removal
of that selected transport, for instance, by explicitly unbinding an
address with setsockopt(SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_REM), after the chunks have
been set up and before the message is sent. This can happen if the send
buffer is full, during the period when the sender thread temporarily
releases the socket lock in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf().

This causes the access to the transport data in
sctp_outq_select_transport(), when the association outqueue is flushed,
to result in a use-after-free read.

This change avoids this scenario by having sctp_transport_free() signal
the freeing of the transport, tagging it as "dead". In order to do this,
the patch restores the "dead" bit in struct sctp_transport, which was
removed in
commit 47faa1e4c50e ("sctp: remove the dead field of sctp_transport").

Then, in the scenario where the sender thread has released the socket
lock in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf(), the bit is checked again after
re-acquiring the socket lock to detect the deletion. This is done while
holding a reference to the transport to prevent it from being freed in
the process.

If the transport was deleted while the socket lock was relinquished,
sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() will return -EAGAIN to let userspace retry the
send.

The bug was found by a private syzbot instance (see the error report [1]
and the C reproducer that triggers it [2]).

commit 0bb2f7a1ad1f11d861f58e5ee5051c8974ff9569 upstream.

When I ran the repro [0] and waited a few seconds, I observed two
LOCKDEP splats: a warning immediately followed by a null-ptr-deref. [1]

Reproduction Steps:

  1) Mount CIFS
  2) Add an iptables rule to drop incoming FIN packets for CIFS
  3) Unmount CIFS
  4) Unload the CIFS module
  5) Remove the iptables rule

At step 3), the CIFS module calls sock_release() for the underlying
TCP socket, and it returns quickly.  However, the socket remains in
FIN_WAIT_1 because incoming FIN packets are dropped.

At this point, the module's refcnt is 0 while the socket is still
alive, so the following rmmod command succeeds.

  # ss -tan
  State      Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port  Peer Address:Port
  FIN-WAIT-1 0      477        10.0.2.15:51062   10.0.0.137:445

  # lsmod | grep cifs
  cifs                 1159168  0

This highlights a discrepancy between the lifetime of the CIFS module
and the underlying TCP socket.  Even after CIFS calls sock_release()
and it returns, the TCP socket does not die immediately in order to
close the connection gracefully.

While this is generally fine, it causes an issue with LOCKDEP because
CIFS assigns a different lock class to the TCP socket's sk-&gt;sk_lock
using sock_lock_init_class_and_name().

Once an incoming packet is processed for the socket or a timer fires,
sk-&gt;sk_lock is acquired.

Then, LOCKDEP checks the lock context in check_wait_context(), where
hlock_class() is called to retrieve the lock class.  However, since
the module has already been unloaded, hlock_class() logs a warning
and returns NULL, triggering the null-ptr-deref.

If LOCKDEP is enabled, we must ensure that a module calling
sock_lock_init_class_and_name() (CIFS, NFS, etc) cannot be unloaded
while such a socket is still alive to prevent this issue.

Let's hold the module reference in sock_lock_init_class_and_name()
and release it when the socket is freed in sk_prot_free().

Note that sock_lock_init() clears sk-&gt;sk_owner for svc_create_socket()
that calls sock_lock_init_class_and_name() for a listening socket,
which clones a socket by sk_clone_lock() without GFP_ZERO.

[ Upstream commit 3ad4fce66e4f9d82abfc366707757e29cc14a9d2 ]

Add a strict mode where we disable certain workarounds and have
additional checks such as, for now, that VHT capabilities from
association response match those from beacon/probe response. We
can extend the checks in the future.

Make it an opt-in setting by the driver so it can be set there
in some driver-specific way, for example. Also allow setting
this one hw flag through the hwflags debugfs, by writing a new
strict=0 or strict=1 value.
