commit 30188bd7838c16a98a520db1fe9df01ffc6ed368 upstream.

Negative ifindexes are illegal, but the kernel does not validate the
ifindex in the ancillary header of RTM_NEWLINK messages, resulting in
the kernel generating a warning [1] when such an ifindex is specified.

Fix by rejecting negative ifindexes.

This reverts commit 69197b2b2a7bcf92b209490639316af5dc751cc0 which is
commit 30188bd7838c16a98a520db1fe9df01ffc6ed368 upstream.

It was improperly backported to 4.14.y, and applied to the wrong
function, which obviously causes problems.  A fixed version will be
applied as a separate commit later.

[ Upstream commit aa5406950726e336c5c9585b09799a734b6e77bf ]

syzbot reports that some netdev devices do not have a six bytes
address [1]

Replace ETH_ALEN by dev-&gt;addr_len.

commit c6f6f2444bdbe0079e41914a35081530d0409963 upstream.

While looking at one unrelated syzbot bug, I found the replay logic
in __rtnl_newlink() to potentially trigger use-after-free.

It is better to clear master_dev and m_ops inside the loop,
in case we have to replay it.

[ Upstream commit d34367991933d28bd7331f67a759be9a8c474014 ]

rtnl_fill_statsinfo() is filling skb with one mandatory if_stats_msg structure.

nlmsg_put(skb, pid, seq, type, sizeof(struct if_stats_msg), flags);

But if_nlmsg_stats_size() never considered the needed storage.

This bug did not show up because alloc_skb(X) allocates skb with
extra tailroom, because of added alignments. This could very well
be changed in the future to have deterministic behavior.

[ Upstream commit d2e381c4963663bca6f30c3b996fa4dbafe8fcb5 ]

Cited commit started returning errors when notification info is not
filled by the bridge driver, resulting in the following regression:

 # ip link add name br1 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
 # bridge vlan add dev br1 vid 555 self pvid untagged
 RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

As long as the bridge driver does not fill notification info for the
bridge device itself, an empty notification should not be considered as
an error. This is explained in commit 59ccaaaa49b5 ("bridge: dont send
notification when skb-&gt;len == 0 in rtnl_bridge_notify").

Fix by removing the error and add a comment to avoid future bugs.

When vlan_newlink call register_vlan_dev fails, it might return error
with dev-&gt;reg_state = NETREG_UNREGISTERED. The rtnl_newlink should
free the memory. But currently rtnl_newlink only free the memory which
state is NETREG_UNINITIALIZED.

[ Upstream commit cebb69754f37d68e1355a5e726fdac317bcda302 ]

When vlan_newlink call register_vlan_dev fails, it might return error
with dev-&gt;reg_state = NETREG_UNREGISTERED. The rtnl_newlink should
free the memory. But currently rtnl_newlink only free the memory which
state is NETREG_UNINITIALIZED.

commit 56a49d7048703f5ffdb84d3a0ee034108fba6850 upstream.

This fix addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201071

Commit 5025f7f7d506 wrongly relied on __dev_change_flags to notify users of
dev flag changes in the case when dev-&gt;rtnl_link_state = RTNL_LINK_INITIALIZED.
Fix it by indicating flag changes explicitly to __dev_notify_flags.
