ipv6: protect skb->sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stack

2015-04-29T08:31:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit f60e5990d9c1424af9dbca60a23ba2a1c7c1ce90 ]

We should not consult skb->sk for output decisions in xmit recursion
levels > 0 in the stack. Otherwise local socket settings could influence
the result of e.g. tunnel encapsulation process.

ipv6 does not conform with this in three places:

1) ip6_fragment: we do consult ipv6_npinfo for frag_size

2) sk_mc_loop in ipv6 uses skb->sk and checks if we should
   loop the packet back to the local socket

3) ip6_skb_dst_mtu could query the settings from the user socket and
   force a wrong MTU

Furthermore:
In sk_mc_loop we could potentially land in WARN_ON(1) if we use a
PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed vxlan device.

Reuse xmit_recursion as we are currently only interested in protecting
tunnel devices.

net: rps: fix cpu unplug

2015-02-27T01:50:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit ac64da0b83d82abe62f78b3d0e21cca31aea24fa ]

softnet_data.input_pkt_queue is protected by a spinlock that
we must hold when transferring packets from victim queue to an active
one. This is because other cpus could still be trying to enqueue packets
into victim queue.

A second problem is that when we transfert the NAPI poll_list from
victim to current cpu, we absolutely need to special case the percpu
backlog, because we do not want to add complex locking to protect
process_queue : Only owner cpu is allowed to manipulate it, unless cpu
is offline.

Based on initial patch from Prasad Sodagudi & Subash Abhinov
Kasiviswanathan.

This version is better because we do not slow down packet processing,
only make migration safer.

net: fix creation adjacent device symlinks

2015-01-27T16:18:59+00:00

commit 7ce64c79c4decdeb1afe0bf2f6ef834b382871d1 upstream.

__netdev_adjacent_dev_insert may add adjust device of different net
namespace, without proper check it leads to emergence of broken
sysfs links from/to devices in another namespace.
Fix: rewrite netdev_adjacent_is_neigh_list macro as a function,
     move net_eq check into netdev_adjacent_is_neigh_list.

net: prevent of emerging cross-namespace symlinks

2015-01-27T16:18:59+00:00

commit 4c75431ac3520631f1d9e74aa88407e6374dbbc4 upstream.

Code manipulating sysfs symlinks on adjacent net_devices(s)
currently doesn't take into account that devices potentially
belong to different namespaces.

This patch trying to fix an issue as follows:
- check for net_ns before creating / deleting symlink.
  for now only netdev_adjacent_rename_links and
  __netdev_adjacent_dev_remove are affected, afaics
  __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert implies both net_devs
  belong to the same namespace.
- Drop all existing symlinks to / from all adj_devs before
  switching namespace and recreate them just after.

net/core: Handle csum for CHECKSUM_COMPLETE VXLAN forwarding

2015-01-27T16:18:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2c26d34bbcc0b3f30385d5587aa232289e2eed8e ]

When using VXLAN tunnels and a sky2 device, I have experienced
checksum failures of the following type:

[ 4297.761899] eth0: hw csum failure
[...]
[ 4297.765223] Call Trace:
[ 4297.765224]    [] dump_stack+0x46/0x58
[ 4297.765235]  [] netdev_rx_csum_fault+0x42/0x50
[ 4297.765238]  [] ? skb_push+0x40/0x40
[ 4297.765240]  [] __skb_checksum_complete+0xbc/0xd0
[ 4297.765243]  [] tcp_v4_rcv+0x2e2/0x950
[ 4297.765246]  [] ? ip_rcv_finish+0x360/0x360

	These are reliably reproduced in a network topology of:

container:eth0 == host(OVS VXLAN on VLAN) == bond0 == eth0 (sky2) -> switch

	When VXLAN encapsulated traffic is received from a similarly
configured peer, the above warning is generated in the receive
processing of the encapsulated packet.  Note that the warning is
associated with the container eth0.

        The skbs from sky2 have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, and
because the packet is an encapsulated Ethernet frame, the checksum
generated by the hardware includes the inner protocol and Ethernet
headers.

	The receive code is careful to update the skb->csum, except in
__dev_forward_skb, as called by dev_forward_skb.  __dev_forward_skb
calls eth_type_trans, which in turn calls skb_pull_inline(skb, ETH_HLEN)
to skip over the Ethernet header, but does not update skb->csum when
doing so.

	This patch resolves the problem by adding a call to
skb_postpull_rcsum to update the skb->csum after the call to
eth_type_trans.

net: Fix stacked vlan offload features computation

2015-01-27T16:18:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 796f2da81bead71ffc91ef70912cd8d1827bf756 ]

When vlan tags are stacked, it is very likely that the outer tag is stored
in skb->vlan_tci and skb->protocol shows the inner tag's vlan_proto.
Currently netif_skb_features() first looks at skb->protocol even if there
is the outer tag in vlan_tci, thus it incorrectly retrieves the protocol
encapsulated by the inner vlan instead of the inner vlan protocol.
This allows GSO packets to be passed to HW and they end up being
corrupted.

net: Always untag vlan-tagged traffic on input.

2014-10-15T06:36:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0d5501c1c828fb97d02af50aa9d2b1a5498b94e4 ]

Currently the functionality to untag traffic on input resides
as part of the vlan module and is build only when VLAN support
is enabled in the kernel.  When VLAN is disabled, the function
vlan_untag() turns into a stub and doesn't really untag the
packets.  This seems to create an interesting interaction
between VMs supporting checksum offloading and some network drivers.

There are some drivers that do not allow the user to change
tx-vlan-offload feature of the driver.  These drivers also seem
to assume that any VLAN-tagged traffic they transmit will
have the vlan information in the vlan_tci and not in the vlan
header already in the skb.  When transmitting skbs that already
have tagged data with partial checksum set, the checksum doesn't
appear to be updated correctly by the card thus resulting in a
failure to establish TCP connections.

The following is a packet trace taken on the receiver where a
sender is a VM with a VLAN configued.  The host VM is running on
doest not have VLAN support and the outging interface on the
host is tg3:
10:12:43.503055 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q
(0x8100), length 78: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 27243,

10:12:44.505556 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q

4294838888 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0

This connection finally times out.

I've only access to the TG3 hardware in this configuration thus have
only tested this with TG3 driver.  There are a lot of other drivers
that do not permit user changes to vlan acceleration features, and
I don't know if they all suffere from a similar issue.

The patch attempt to fix this another way.  It moves the vlan header
stipping code out of the vlan module and always builds it into the
kernel network core.  This way, even if vlan is not supported on
a virtualizatoin host, the virtual machines running on top of such
host will still work with VLANs enabled.

net-gre-gro: Fix a bug that breaks the forwarding path

because various GSO related fields were not set. The bug will

GRE-TSO capable (NETIF_F_GSO_GRE) NICs to choke. The following

net: Fix NETDEV_CHANGE notifier usage causing spurious arp flush

2014-07-28T15:06:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 54951194656e4853e441266fd095f880bc0398f3 ]

A bug was introduced in NETDEV_CHANGE notifier sequence causing the
arp table to be sometimes spuriously cleared (including manual arp
entries marked permanent), upon network link carrier changes.

The changed argument for the notifier was applied only to a single
caller of NETDEV_CHANGE, missing among others netdev_state_change().
So upon net_carrier events induced by the network, which are
triggering a call to netdev_state_change(), arp_netdev_event() would
decide whether to clear or not arp cache based on random/junk stack
values (a kind of read buffer overflow).
