[ Upstream commit 3bed3cc4156eedf652b4df72bdb35d4f1a2a739d ]

This patch addresses the fact that there are drivers, specifically tun,
that will call into the network page fragment allocators with buffer sizes
that are not cache aligned. Doing this could result in data alignment
and DMA performance issues as these fragment pools are also shared with the
skb allocator and any other devices that will use napi_alloc_frags or
netdev_alloc_frags.

Fixes: ffde7328a36d ("net: Split netdev_alloc_frag into __alloc_page_frag and add __napi_alloc_frag")

[ Upstream commit f8c468e8537925e0c4607263f498a1b7c0c8982e ]

Commit dcda9b04713c ("mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic") replaced __GFP_REPEAT in
alloc_skb_with_frags() with __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL when the allocation may
directly reclaim.

The previous behavior would require reclaim up to 1 &lt;&lt; order pages for
skb aligned header_len of order &gt; PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER before failing,
otherwise the allocations in alloc_skb() would loop in the page allocator
looking for memory.  __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL makes both allocations failable
under memory pressure, including for the HEAD allocation.

This can cause, among many other things, write() to fail with ENOTCONN
during RPC when under memory pressure.

These allocations should succeed as they did previous to dcda9b04713c
even if it requires calling the oom killer and additional looping in the
page allocator to find memory.  There is no way to specify the previous
behavior of __GFP_REPEAT, but it's unlikely to be necessary since the
previous behavior only guaranteed that 1 &lt;&lt; order pages would be reclaimed
before failing for order &gt; PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.  That reclaim is not
guaranteed to be contiguous memory, so repeating for such large orders is
usually not beneficial.

Removing the setting of __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL to restore the previous
behavior, specifically not allowing alloc_skb() to fail for small orders
and oom kill if necessary rather than allowing RPCs to fail.

<title>net: skb_scrub_packet(): Scrub offload_fwd_mark</title>

When a packet is trapped and the corresponding SKB marked as
already-forwarded, it retains this marking even after it is forwarded
across veth links into another bridge. There, since it ingresses the
bridge over veth, which doesn't have offload_fwd_mark, it triggers a
warning in nbp_switchdev_frame_mark().

Then nbp_switchdev_allowed_egress() decides not to allow egress from
this bridge through another veth, because the SKB is already marked, and
the mark (of 0) of course matches. Thus the packet is incorrectly
blocked.

Solve by resetting offload_fwd_mark() in skb_scrub_packet(). That
function is called from tunnels and also from veth, and thus catches the
cases where traffic is forwarded between bridges and transformed in a
way that invalidates the marking.

<title>net: fix pskb_trim_rcsum_slow() with odd trim offset</title>

We've been getting checksum errors involving small UDP packets, usually
59B packets with 1 extra non-zero padding byte. netdev_rx_csum_fault()
has been complaining that HW is providing bad checksums. Turns out the
problem is in pskb_trim_rcsum_slow(), introduced in commit 88078d98d1bb
("net: pskb_trim_rcsum() and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are friends").

The source of the problem is that when the bytes we are trimming start
at an odd address, as in the case of the 1 padding byte above,
skb_checksum() returns a byte-swapped value. We cannot just combine this
with skb-&gt;csum using csum_sub(). We need to use csum_block_sub() here
that takes into account the parity of the start address and handles the
swapping.

Matches existing code in __skb_postpull_rcsum() and esp_remove_trailer().

syzbot managed to crash in skb_checksum_help() [1] :

        BUG_ON(offset + sizeof(__sum16) &gt; skb_headlen(skb));

Root cause is the following check in skb_partial_csum_set()

	if (unlikely(start &gt; skb_headlen(skb)) ||
	    unlikely((int)start + off &gt; skb_headlen(skb) - 2))
		return false;

If skb_headlen(skb) is 1, then (skb_headlen(skb) - 2) becomes 0xffffffff
and the check fails to detect that ((int)start + off) is off the limit,
since the compare is unsigned.

When we fix that, then the first condition (start &gt; skb_headlen(skb))
becomes obsolete.

Then we should also check that (skb_headroom(skb) + start) wont
overflow 16bit field.

<title>tcp: really ignore MSG_ZEROCOPY if no SO_ZEROCOPY</title>

<content type='text'>
According to the documentation in msg_zerocopy.rst, the SO_ZEROCOPY
flag was introduced because send(2) ignores unknown message flags and
any legacy application which was accidentally passing the equivalent of
MSG_ZEROCOPY earlier should not see any new behaviour.

Before commit f214f915e7db ("tcp: enable MSG_ZEROCOPY"), a send(2) call
which passed the equivalent of MSG_ZEROCOPY without setting SO_ZEROCOPY
would succeed.  However, after that commit, it fails with -ENOBUFS.  So
it appears that the SO_ZEROCOPY flag fails to fulfill its intended
purpose.  Fix it.
