Restrict set clone to the flush set command in the preparation phase.
Add NFT_ITER_UPDATE_CLONE and use it for this purpose, update the rbtree
and pipapo backends to only clone the set when this iteration type is
used.

As for the existing NFT_ITER_UPDATE type, update the pipapo backend to
use the existing set clone if available, otherwise use the existing set
representation. After this update, there is no need to clone a set that
is being deleted, this includes bound anonymous set.

An alternative approach to NFT_ITER_UPDATE_CLONE is to add a .clone
interface and call it from the flush set path.

[ Upstream commit 342e24a339b90e8e339a0f8c151ca479b8565661 ]

Sashiko warns that ip_vs_nat_icmp() unconditionally mangles the
payload for embedded non-first IPv4 fragments. The problem is
in the very old inverted pp-&gt;dont_defrag check which should not
continue when embedded is a non-first TCP/UDP/SCTP fragment.

Check for embedded non-first fragment is also missing from
ip_vs_out_icmp_v6(), it is needed before any connection
lookups that expect ports after the network headers.

Drop the blocking code from ip_vs_in_icmp_v6() which prevents
ICMPv6 from local clients to use non-MASQ forwarding.

[ Upstream commit 15cab31a3730e05f0767b922a7450e5d784b2607 ]

The offsets we use to packet headers and payloads should be
based on skb-&gt;data. We even already respect non-zero
network offset in ip_vs_fill_iph_skb() but some places
do it wrongly and support only zero offset which is expected
for the IP layer where IPVS has hooks.

Change all places that instead of skb-&gt;data use offsets based
on the network header (skb_network_header, ip_hdr, etc) because
this doubles the network offset as noted by Sashiko.

For ip_vs_nat_icmp_v6() we can even rely on the IPv6 header
parsing done by the caller.

[ Upstream commit e876b75b9020a97bbdc79721e7fc749024891c65 ]

ip_vs_in_icmp_v6() is missing checksum validation for ICMPv6
packets from clients. In fact, as for TCP/UDP we should
validate the checksum for ICMP packets only when we
mangle the packets on MASQ or on reply for tunnel.

Also, Sashiko points out that handle_response_icmp() being
common for IPv4 and IPv6 is missing the pseudo-header
calculation while validating ICMPv6 messages from real
servers which is a problem if checksum is not validated
by the hardware.

Fix the problems by creating ip_vs_checksum_common_check()
helper and use it for TCP/UDP/ICMP both for IPv4 and IPv6.
Rely on the nf_checksum() for validating the ICMP messages
but use it also for TCP and UDP.

Use correct IP offset for IP_VS_DBG_RL_PKT for TCP/UDP/SCTP.

IPVS packets (TCP/UDP/SCTP/ICMP) do not need checksum
validation on LOCAL_OUT (local clients or local real
servers) and on FORWARD (traffic from servers on LAN).
Do it only on LOCAL_IN, in case nf_checksum() is not
called on PRE_ROUTING.

Also, ip_vs_checksum_complete() can be marked static.

[ Upstream commit b2870fc21601db9133bc70c48c603b487614fa3b ]

neigh_hh_bridge() assumes the skb always has sufficient headroom to copy
the aligned  L2 header. This assumption can trigger the crash reported
below using the following netfilter setup:

$modprobe br_netfilter
$sysctl -w net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=1

$root@OpenWrt:~# nft list ruleset
table ip nat {
        chain prerouting {
                type nat hook prerouting priority dstnat; policy accept;
                ip daddr 192.168.83.123 dnat to 192.168.83.120
        }
}

the iperf3 client is sending packet for 192.168.83.123 to the bridge device.

[ Upstream commit b2870fc21601db9133bc70c48c603b487614fa3b ]

neigh_hh_bridge() assumes the skb always has sufficient headroom to copy
the aligned  L2 header. This assumption can trigger the crash reported
below using the following netfilter setup:

$modprobe br_netfilter
$sysctl -w net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=1

$root@OpenWrt:~# nft list ruleset
table ip nat {
        chain prerouting {
                type nat hook prerouting priority dstnat; policy accept;
                ip daddr 192.168.83.123 dnat to 192.168.83.120
        }
}

- iperf3 client (192.168.83.119) --&gt; bridge (192.168.83.118) --&gt; iperf3 server (192.168.83.120)

the iperf3 client is sending packet for 192.168.83.123 to the bridge device.

[ Upstream commit dcb0f9aefdd604d36710fda53c25bd7cf4a3e37a ]

A recent series to fix expectations broke helper propagation via
expectation, this mechanism is used by the sip and h323 helper. This
also propagates the conntrack helper to expected connections. I changed
semantics of exp-&gt;helper which now tells us the actual helper that
created the expectation.

Add an explicit assign_helper field to expectations for this purpose
and update helpers to use it.

Restore this feature for userspace conntrack helper via ctnetlink
nfqueue integration so it is again possible to attach a helper to an
expectation, where it makes sense. This is not restored via ctnetlink
expectation creation as there is no client for such feature. Use the
expectation layer 4 protocol number for the helper lookup for
consistency.

Make sure the expectation using this helper propagation mechanism also
go away when the helper is unregistered.

Fixes: 9c42bc9db90a ("netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: honor expectation helper field")
Fixes: 917b61fa2042 ("netfilter: ctnetlink: ignore explicit helper on new expectations")

This facility was disabled in commit
9e539c5b6d9c ("netfilter: nf_tables: disable expression reduction infra"),
because not all nft_exprs guarantee they will update the destination
register: some may set NFT_BREAK instead to cancel evaluation of the
rule.

This has been dead code ever since.
There are no plans to salvage this at this time, so remove this.

[ Upstream commit 23738cc8048322cf324f330cd697380fb3455da5 ]

A number of functions separately furnish an AF_RXRPC socket with callback
function pointers into a kernel app (such as the AFS filesystem) that is
using it.  Replace most of these with an ops table for the entire socket.
This makes it easier to add more callback functions.

Note that the call incoming data processing callback is retaind as that
gets set to different things, depending on the type of op.

[ Upstream commit 23738cc8048322cf324f330cd697380fb3455da5 ]

A number of functions separately furnish an AF_RXRPC socket with callback
function pointers into a kernel app (such as the AFS filesystem) that is
using it.  Replace most of these with an ops table for the entire socket.
This makes it easier to add more callback functions.

Note that the call incoming data processing callback is retaind as that
gets set to different things, depending on the type of op.

commit c783399efc22d035443f1dfbf2a09bf9562aaa5e upstream.

rfcomm_tty_set_termios() tests dlc-&gt;session without rfcomm_mutex and
later passes the pointer to rfcomm_send_rpn(). The latter dereferences
both session-&gt;initiator and session-&gt;sock. Meanwhile, krfcommd can
unlink the DLC and free the session while holding rfcomm_mutex.

The race can proceed as follows:

  TTY ioctl task                 krfcommd
  --------------                 --------
  load dlc-&gt;session
  enter rfcomm_send_rpn()
                                 lock rfcomm_mutex
                                 clear dlc-&gt;session
                                 free session
                                 unlock rfcomm_mutex
  read session-&gt;initiator

Add rfcomm_dlc_send_rpn(), which holds rfcomm_mutex while it verifies
that the DLC is still attached and sends the RPN frame. Have the TTY
path use the helper and drop its unlocked session check. This keeps the
session valid through both the frame construction and socket send.
