[ Upstream commit e551c32d57c88923f99f8f010e89ca7ed0735e83 ]

At accept() time, it is possible the parent has a non zero
sk_err_soft, leftover from a prior error.

Make sure we do not leave this value in the child, as it
makes future getsockopt(SO_ERROR) calls quite unreliable.

commit 1a24e04e4b50939daa3041682b38b82c896ca438 upstream.

sk_mem_reclaim_partial() goal is to ensure each socket has
one SK_MEM_QUANTUM forward allocation. This is needed both for
performance and better handling of memory pressure situations in
follow up patches.

SK_MEM_QUANTUM is currently a page, but might be reduced to 4096 bytes
as some arches have 64KB pages.

commit b98b0bc8c431e3ceb4b26b0dfc8db509518fb290 upstream.

CAP_NET_ADMIN users should not be allowed to set negative
sk_sndbuf or sk_rcvbuf values, as it can lead to various memory
corruptions, crashes, OOM...

Note that before commit 82981930125a ("net: cleanups in
sock_setsockopt()"), the bug was even more serious, since SO_SNDBUF
and SO_RCVBUF were vulnerable.

This needs to be backported to all known linux kernels.

Again, many thanks to syzkaller team for discovering this gem.

commit 4f0c40d94461cfd23893a17335b2ab78ecb333c8 upstream.

Dccp verifies packet integrity, including length, at initial rcv in
dccp_invalid_packet, later pulls headers in dccp_enqueue_skb.

A call to sk_filter in-between can cause __skb_pull to wrap skb-&gt;len.
skb_copy_datagram_msg interprets this as a negative value, so
(correctly) fails with EFAULT. The negative length is reported in
ioctl SIOCINQ or possibly in a DCCP_WARN in dccp_close.

Introduce an sk_receive_skb variant that caps how small a filter
program can trim packets, and call this in dccp with the header
length. Excessively trimmed packets are now processed normally and
queued for reception as 0B payloads.

Fixes: 7c657876b63c ("[DCCP]: Initial implementation")

<title>Revert "tcp: Apply device TSO segment limit earlier"</title>

This reverts commit 9f871e883277cc22c6217db806376dce52401a31, which
was commit 1485348d2424e1131ea42efc033cbd9366462b01 upstream.

It can cause connections to stall when a PMTU event occurs.  This was
fixed by commit 843925f33fcc ("tcp: Do not apply TSO segment limit to
non-TSO packets") upstream, but that depends on other changes to TSO.

The original issue this fixed was a performance regression for the sfc
driver in extreme cases of TSO (skb with &gt; 100 segments).  This is not
really very important and it seems best to revert it rather than try
to fix it up.

[ Upstream commit f77d602124d865c38705df7fa25c03de9c284ad2 ]

We have seen multiple NULL dereferences in __inet6_lookup_established()

After analysis, I found that inet6_sk() could be NULL while the
check for sk_family == AF_INET6 was true.

Bug was added in linux-2.6.29 when RCU lookups were introduced in UDP
and TCP stacks.

Once an IPv6 socket, using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is inserted in a hash
table, we no longer can clear pinet6 field.

This patch extends logic used in commit fcbdf09d9652c891
("net: fix nulls list corruptions in sk_prot_alloc")

TCP/UDP/UDPLite IPv6 protocols provide their own .clear_sk() method
to make sure we do not clear pinet6 field.

At socket clone phase, we do not really care, as cloning the parent (non
NULL) pinet6 is not adding a fatal race.

commit 83f1b4ba917db5dc5a061a44b3403ddb6e783494 upstream.

Commit 257b5358b32f ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm
sender") changed the credentials passing code to pass in the effective
uid/gid instead of the real uid/gid.

Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are
the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong
uid/gid ends up being used.

This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit.
