commit 4296adc3e32f5d544a95061160fe7e127be1b9ff upstream.

Openvswitch allows to drop a packet's Ethernet header, therefore
skb_mpls_push() and skb_mpls_pop() might be called with ethernet=true
and mac_len=0. In that case the pointer passed to skb_mod_eth_type()
doesn't point to an Ethernet header and the new Ethertype is written at
unexpected locations.

Fix this by verifying that mac_len is big enough to contain an Ethernet
header.

pskb_carve_frag_list() may return -ENOMEM in pskb_carve_inside_nonlinear().

[ Upstream commit 55eff0eb7460c3d50716ed9eccf22257b046ca92 ]

We may access the two bytes after vlan_hdr in vlan_set_encap_proto(). So
we should pull VLAN_HLEN + sizeof(unsigned short) in skb_vlan_untag() or
we may access the wrong data.

In skb_panic() the real pointer values are really needed to diagnose
issues, e.g. data and head are related (to calculate headroom). The
hashed versions of the addresses doesn't make much sense here. The
patch use the printk specifier %px to print the actual address.

Xin Long says:
 On udp rx path udp_rcv_segment() may do segment where the frag skbs
 will get the header copied from the head skb in skb_segment_list()
 by calling __copy_skb_header(), which could overwrite the frag skbs'
 extensions by __skb_ext_copy() and cause a leak.

 This issue was found after loading esp_offload where a sec path ext
 is set in the skb.

Fix this by discarding head state of the fraglist skb before replacing
its contents.

<title>net: Make skb_segment not to compute checksum if network controller supports checksumming</title>

Problem:
TCP checksum in the output path is not being offloaded during GSO
in the following case:
The network driver does not support scatter-gather but supports
checksum offload with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

Cause:
skb_segment calls skb_copy_and_csum_bits if the network driver
does not announce NETIF_F_SG. It does not check if the driver
supports NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.
So for devices which might want to offload checksum but do not support SG
there is currently no way to do so if GSO is enabled.

Solution:
In skb_segment check if the network controller does checksum and if so
call skb_copy_bits instead of skb_copy_and_csum_bits.

Testing:
Without the patch, ran iperf TCP traffic with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM enabled
in the network driver. Observed the TCP checksum offload is not happening
since the skbs received by the driver in the output path have
skb-&gt;ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE.

With the patch ran iperf TCP traffic and observed that TCP checksum
is being offloaded with skb-&gt;ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
Also tested with the patch by disabling NETIF_F_HW_CSUM in the driver
to cover the newly introduced if-else code path in skb_segment.

Variables declared in a switch statement before any case statements
cannot be automatically initialized with compiler instrumentation (as
they are not part of any execution flow). With GCC's proposed automatic
stack variable initialization feature, this triggers a warning (and they
don't get initialized). Clang's automatic stack variable initialization
(via CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL=y) doesn't throw a warning, but it also
doesn't initialize such variables[1]. Note that these warnings (or silent
skipping) happen before the dead-store elimination optimization phase,
so even when the automatic initializations are later elided in favor of
direct initializations, the warnings remain.

To avoid these problems, move such variables into the "case" where
they're used or lift them up into the main function body.

net/core/skbuff.c: In function ‘skb_checksum_setup_ip’:
