<content type='text'>
Without proper validation of DODGY packets, we might very well
feed qdisc_pkt_len_init() with invalid GSO packets.

tcp_hdrlen() might access out-of-bound data, so let's use
skb_header_pointer() and proper checks.

Whole story is described in commit d0c081b49137 ("flow_dissector:
properly cap thoff field")

We have the goal of validating DODGY packets earlier in the stack,
so we might very well revert this fix in the future.

This reverts commit 87c320e51519a83c496ab7bfb4e96c8f9c001e89.

Changing the error return code in some situations turns out to
be harmful in practice.  In particular Michael Ellerman reports
that DHCP fails on his powerpc machines, and this revert gets
things working again.

Johannes Berg agrees that this revert is the best course of
action for now.

<content type='text'>
In netif_receive_generic_xdp(), it is necessary to linearize all
nonlinear skb. However, in current implementation, skb with
troom &lt;= 0 are not linearized. This patch fixes this by calling
skb_linearize() for all nonlinear skb.

====================
pull-request: bpf 2017-11-23

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Several BPF offloading fixes, from Jakub. Among others:

    - Limit offload to cls_bpf and XDP program types only.
    - Move device validation into the driver and don't make
      any assumptions about the device in the classifier due
      to shared blocks semantics.
    - Don't pass offloaded XDP program into the driver when
      it should be run in native XDP instead. Offloaded ones
      are not JITed for the host in such cases.
    - Don't destroy device offload state when moved to
      another namespace.
    - Revert dumping offload info into user space for now,
      since ifindex alone is not sufficient. This will be
      redone properly for bpf-next tree.

2) Fix test_verifier to avoid using bpf_probe_write_user()
   helper in test cases, since it's dumping a warning into
   kernel log which may confuse users when only running tests.
   Switch to use bpf_trace_printk() instead, from Yonghong.

3) Several fixes for correcting ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO semantics
   before it becomes uabi, from Gianluca. More specifically:

    - Add a type ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL that is used only
      by bpf_csum_diff(), where the argument is either a
      valid pointer or NULL. The subsequent ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
      then enforces a valid pointer in case of non-0 size
      or a valid pointer or NULL in case of size 0. Given
      that, the semantics for ARG_PTR_TO_MEM in combination
      with ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO are now such that in case
      of size 0, the pointer must always be valid and cannot
      be NULL. This fix in semantics allows for bpf_probe_read()
      to drop the recently added size == 0 check in the helper
      that would become part of uabi otherwise once released.
      At the same time we can then fix bpf_probe_read_str() and
      bpf_perf_event_output() to use ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
      instead of ARG_CONST_SIZE in order to fix recently
      reported issues by Arnaldo et al, where LLVM optimizes
      two boundary checks into a single one for unknown
      variables where the verifier looses track of the variable
      bounds and thus rejects valid programs otherwise.

4) A fix for the verifier for the case when it detects
   comparison of two constants where the branch is guaranteed
   to not be taken at runtime. Verifier will rightfully prune
   the exploration of such paths, but we still pass the program
   to JITs, where they would complain about using reserved
   fields, etc. Track such dead instructions and sanitize
   them with mov r0,r0. Rejection is not possible since LLVM
   may generate them for valid C code and doesn't do as much
   data flow analysis as verifier. For bpf-next we might
   implement removal of such dead code and adjust branches
   instead. Fix from Alexei.

<title>net: accept UFO datagrams from tuntap and packet</title>

<id>0c19f846d582af919db66a5914a0189f9f92c936</id>
<content type='text'>
Tuntap and similar devices can inject GSO packets. Accept type
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP, even though not generating UFO natively.

Processes are expected to use feature negotiation such as TUNSETOFFLOAD
to detect supported offload types and refrain from injecting other
packets. This process breaks down with live migration: guest kernels
do not renegotiate flags, so destination hosts need to expose all
features that the source host does.

Partially revert the UFO removal from 182e0b6b5846~1..d9d30adf5677.
This patch introduces nearly(*) no new code to simplify verification.
It brings back verbatim tuntap UFO negotiation, VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP
insertion and software UFO segmentation.

It does not reinstate protocol stack support, hardware offload
(NETIF_F_UFO), SKB_GSO_UDP tunneling in SKB_GSO_SOFTWARE or reception
of VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP packets in tuntap.

To support SKB_GSO_UDP reappearing in the stack, also reinstate
logic in act_csum and openvswitch. Achieve equivalence with v4.13 HEAD
by squashing in commit 939912216fa8 ("net: skb_needs_check() removes
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY check for tx.") and reverting commit 8d63bee643f1
("net: avoid skb_warn_bad_offload false positives on UFO").

(*) To avoid having to bring back skb_shinfo(skb)-&gt;ip6_frag_id,
ipv6_proxy_select_ident is changed to return a __be32 and this is
assigned directly to the frag_hdr. Also, SKB_GSO_UDP is inserted
at the end of the enum to minimize code churn.

Tested
  Booted a v4.13 guest kernel with QEMU. On a host kernel before this
  patch `ethtool -k eth0` shows UFO disabled. After the patch, it is
  enabled, same as on a v4.13 host kernel.

  A UFO packet sent from the guest appears on the tap device:
    host:
      nc -l -p -u 8000 &amp;
      tcpdump -n -i tap0

    guest:
      dd if=/dev/zero of=payload.txt bs=1 count=2000
      nc -u 192.16.1.1 8000 &lt; payload.txt

  Direct tap to tap transmission of VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP succeeds,
  packets arriving fragmented:

    ./with_tap_pair.sh ./tap_send_ufo tap0 tap1
    (from https://github.com/wdebruij/kerneltools/tree/master/tests)

Changes
  v1 -&gt; v2
    - simplified set_offload change (review comment)
    - documented test procedure

<content type='text'>
Currently device-bound programs are not able to run on the host
to save resources (host JIT is not invoked).  Don't allow XDP
programs to be attached without the HW_MODE flag.  In theory
if program is already translated for device offload the driver
should choose to offload it instead of loading it in the driver.
However, offloading translated program may still fail resulting
in device-bound program being run on the host.

Prevent this by refusing to attach device bound programs if
XDP_FLAGS_HW_MODE is not set.

With TC shared block changes we can't depend on correct netdev
pointer being available in cls_bpf.  Move the device validation
to the driver.  Core will only make sure that offloaded programs
are always attached in the driver (or in HW by the driver).  We
trust that drivers which implement offload callbacks will perform
necessary checks.

Moving the checks to the driver is generally a useful thing,
in practice the check should be against a switchdev instance,
not a netdev, given that most ASICs will probably allow using
the same program on many ports.

      Lunn.

   4) Add meter action support to openvswitch, from Andy Zhou.

      From Jakub Kicinski.

  10) Add new 'cpumap' type for XDP_REDIRECT action, from Jesper
      Dangaard Brouer.

  11) Support 'blocks' of transformations in the packet scheduler which
      can span multiple network devices, from Jiri Pirko.

  12) TC flower offload support in cxgb4, from Kumar Sanghvi.

  13) Priority based stream scheduler for SCTP, from Marcelo Ricardo
      Leitner.

  14) Thunderbolt networking driver, from Amir Levy and Mika Westerberg.

  15) Add RED qdisc offloadability, and use it in mlxsw driver. From
      Nogah Frankel.

  16) eBPF based device controller for cgroup v2, from Roman Gushchin.

  17) Add some fundamental tracepoints for TCP, from Song Liu.

  18) Remove garbage collection from ipv6 route layer, this is a
      significant accomplishment. From Wei Wang.

  19) Add multicast route offload support to mlxsw, from Yotam Gigi"

<title>net: core: dev_get_valid_name is now the same as dev_alloc_name_ns</title>

If name contains a %, it's easy to see that this patch doesn't change
anything (other than eliminate the duplicate dev_valid_name
call). Otherwise, we'll now just spend a little time in snprintf()
copying name to the stack buffer allocated in dev_alloc_name_ns, and do
the __dev_get_by_name using that buffer rather than name.
