[ Upstream commit fac8e0f579695a3ecbc4d3cac369139d7f819971 ]

When drivers express support for TSO of encapsulated packets, they
only mean that they can do it for one layer of encapsulation.
Supporting additional levels would mean updating, at a minimum,
more IP length fields and they are unaware of this.

No encapsulation device expresses support for handling offloaded
encapsulated packets, so we won't generate these types of frames
in the transmit path. However, GRO doesn't have a check for
multiple levels of encapsulation and will attempt to build them.

UDP tunnel GRO actually does prevent this situation but it only
handles multiple UDP tunnels stacked on top of each other. This
generalizes that solution to prevent any kind of tunnel stacking
that would cause problems.

<title>net: add recursion limit to GRO</title>

[ Debian: net-add-recursion-limit-to-gro.patch ]

Currently, GRO can do unlimited recursion through the gro_receive
handlers.  This was fixed for tunneling protocols by limiting tunnel GRO
to one level with encap_mark, but both VLAN and TEB still have this
problem.  Thus, the kernel is vulnerable to a stack overflow, if we
receive a packet composed entirely of VLAN headers.

This patch adds a recursion counter to the GRO layer to prevent stack
overflow.  When a gro_receive function hits the recursion limit, GRO is
aborted for this skb and it is processed normally.

Thanks to Vladimír Beneš &lt;vbenes@redhat.com&gt; for the initial bug report.

Fixes: CVE-2016-7039

[ Upstream commit 9207f9d45b0ad071baa128e846d7e7ed85016df3 ]

Skb_gso_segment() uses skb control block during segmentation.
This patch adds 32-bytes room for previous control block which
will be copied into all resulting segments.

This patch fixes kernel crash during fragmenting forwarded packets.
Fragmentation requires valid IP CB in skb for clearing ip options.
Also patch removes custom save/restore in ovs code, now it's redundant.

<title>net: do not process device backlog during unregistration</title>

[ Upstream commit e9e4dd3267d0c5234c5c0f47440456b10875dec9 ]

commit 381c759d9916 ("ipv4: Avoid crashing in ip_error")
fixes a problem where processed packet comes from device
with destroyed inetdev (dev-&gt;ip_ptr). This is not expected
because inetdev_destroy is called in NETDEV_UNREGISTER
phase and packets should not be processed after
dev_close_many() and synchronize_net(). Above fix is still
required because inetdev_destroy can be called for other
reasons. But it shows the real problem: backlog can keep
packets for long time and they do not hold reference to
device. Such packets are then delivered to upper levels
at the same time when device is unregistered.
Calling flush_backlog after NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL still
accounts all packets from backlog but before that some packets
continue to be delivered to upper levels long after the
synchronize_net call which is supposed to wait the last
ones. Also, as Eric pointed out, processed packets, mostly
from other devices, can continue to add new packets to backlog.

Fix the problem by moving flush_backlog early, after the
device driver is stopped and before the synchronize_net() call.
Then use netif_running check to make sure we do not add more
packets to backlog. We have to do it in enqueue_to_backlog
context when the local IRQ is disabled. As result, after the
flush_backlog and synchronize_net sequence all packets
should be accounted.

Thanks to Eric W. Biederman for the test script and his
valuable feedback!

The code in __netdev_upper_dev_link() has an over-stringent
loop detection logic that actually prevents valid configurations
from working correctly.

In particular, the logic returns an error if an upper device
is already in the list of all upper devices for a given dev.
This particular check seems to be a overzealous as it disallows
perfectly valid configurations.  For example:
  # ip l a link eth0 name eth0.10 type vlan id 10
  # ip l a dev br0 typ bridge
  # ip l s eth0.10 master br0
  # ip l s eth0 master br0  &lt;--- Will fail

If you switch the last two commands (add eth0 first), then both
will succeed.  If after that, you remove eth0 and try to re-add
it, it will fail!

It appears to be enough to simply check adj_list to keeps things
safe.

I've tried stacking multiple devices multiple times in all different
combinations, and either rx_handler registration prevented the stacking
of the device linking cought the error.

Commit 567e4b79731c ("net: rfs: add hash collision detection") had one
mistake :

RPS_NO_CPU is no longer the marker for invalid cpu in set_rps_cpu()
and get_rps_cpu(), as @next_cpu was the result of an AND with
rps_cpu_mask

This bug showed up on a host with 72 cpus :
next_cpu was 0x7f, and the code was trying to access percpu data of an
non existent cpu.

In a follow up patch, we might get rid of compares against nr_cpu_ids,
if we init the tables with 0. This is silly to test for a very unlikely
condition that exists only shortly after table initialization, as
we got rid of rps_reset_sock_flow() and similar functions that were
writing this RPS_NO_CPU magic value at flow dismantle : When table is
old enough, it never contains this value anymore.

Fixes: 567e4b79731c ("net: rfs: add hash collision detection")
