[ Upstream commit 8d63bee643f1fb53e472f0e135cae4eb99d62d19 ]

skb_warn_bad_offload triggers a warning when an skb enters the GSO
stack at __skb_gso_segment that does not have CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
checksum offload set.

Commit b2504a5dbef3 ("net: reduce skb_warn_bad_offload() noise")
observed that SKB_GSO_DODGY producers can trigger the check and
that passing those packets through the GSO handlers will fix it
up. But, the software UFO handler will set ip_summed to
CHECKSUM_NONE.

When __skb_gso_segment is called from the receive path, this
triggers the warning again.

Make UFO set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY instead of CHECKSUM_NONE. On
Tx these two are equivalent. On Rx, this better matches the
skb state (checksum computed), as CHECKSUM_NONE here means no
checksum computed.

[ Upstream commit 6e7bc478c9a006c701c14476ec9d389a484b4864 ]

My recent change missed fact that UFO would perform a complete
UDP checksum before segmenting in frags.

In this case skb-&gt;ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_NONE.

We need to add this valid case to skb_needs_check()

[ Upstream commit b2504a5dbef3305ef41988ad270b0e8ec289331c ]

Dmitry reported warnings occurring in __skb_gso_segment() [1]

All SKB_GSO_DODGY producers can allow user space to feed
packets that trigger the current check.

We could prevent them from doing so, rejecting packets, but
this might add regressions to existing programs.

It turns out our SKB_GSO_DODGY handlers properly set up checksum
information that is needed anyway when packets needs to be segmented.

By checking again skb_needs_check() after skb_mac_gso_segment(),
we should remove these pesky warnings, at a very minor cost.

[ 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.

[ 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.

[ 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.

Incoming packet should be either in backlog queue or
in RCU read-side section. Otherwise, the final sequence of
flush_backlog() and synchronize_net() may miss packets
that can run without device reference:

CPU 1                  CPU 2
                       skb-&gt;dev: no reference
                       process_backlog:__skb_dequeue
                       process_backlog:local_irq_enable

on_each_cpu for
flush_backlog =&gt;       IPI(hardirq): flush_backlog
                       - packet not found in backlog

                       CPU delayed ...
synchronize_net

<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!
