[ Upstream commit 41fc014332d91ee90c32840bf161f9685b7fbf2b ]

dump_rules returns skb length and not error.
But when family == AF_UNSPEC, the caller of dump_rules
assumes that it returns an error. Hence, when family == AF_UNSPEC,
we continue trying to dump on -EMSGSIZE errors resulting in
incorrect dump idx carried between skbs belonging to the same dump.
This results in fib rule dump always only dumping rules that fit
into the first skb.

This patch fixes dump_rules to return error so that we exit correctly
and idx is correctly maintained between skbs that are part of the
same dump.

[ Upstream commit a0a2a6602496a45ae838a96db8b8173794b5d398 ]

The commit 738ac1ebb96d02e0d23bc320302a6ea94c612dec ("net: Clone
skb before setting peeked flag") introduced a use-after-free bug
in skb_recv_datagram.  This is because skb_set_peeked may create
a new skb and free the existing one.  As it stands the caller will
continue to use the old freed skb.

This patch fixes it by making skb_set_peeked return the new skb
(or the old one if unchanged).

[ Upstream commit 89c22d8c3b278212eef6a8cc66b570bc840a6f5a ]

When we calculate the checksum on the recv path, we store the
result in the skb as an optimisation in case we need the checksum
again down the line.

This is in fact bogus for the MSG_PEEK case as this is done without
any locking.  So multiple threads can peek and then store the result
to the same skb, potentially resulting in bogus skb states.

This patch fixes this by only storing the result if the skb is not
shared.  This preserves the optimisations for the few cases where
it can be done safely due to locking or other reasons, e.g., SIOCINQ.

[ Upstream commit 738ac1ebb96d02e0d23bc320302a6ea94c612dec ]

Shared skbs must not be modified and this is crucial for broadcast
and/or multicast paths where we use it as an optimisation to avoid
unnecessary cloning.

The function skb_recv_datagram breaks this rule by setting peeked
without cloning the skb first.  This causes funky races which leads
to double-free.

This patch fixes this by cloning the skb and replacing the skb
in the list when setting skb-&gt;peeked.

[ Upstream commit b1cb59cf2efe7971d3d72a7b963d09a512d994c9 ]

sysctl has sysctl.net.core.rmem_*/wmem_* parameters which can be
set to incorrect values. Given that 'struct sk_buff' allocates from
rcvbuf, incorrectly set buffer length could result to memory
allocation failures. For example, set them as follows:

    # sysctl net.core.rmem_default=64
      net.core.wmem_default = 64
    # sysctl net.core.wmem_default=64
      net.core.wmem_default = 64
    # ping localhost -s 1024 -i 0 &gt; /dev/null

This could result to the following failure:

[ Upstream commit 1c4cff0cf55011792125b6041bc4e9713e46240f ]

The gnet_stats_copy_app() function gets called, more often than not, with its
second argument a pointer to an automatic variable in the caller's stack.
Therefore, to avoid copying garbage afterwards when calling
gnet_stats_finish_copy(), this data is better copied to a dynamically allocated
memory that gets freed after use.

<title>rtnetlink: call -&gt;dellink on failure when -&gt;newlink exists</title>

[ Upstream commit 7afb8886a05be68e376655539a064ec672de8a8e ]

Ignacy reported that when eth0 is down and add a vlan device
on top of it like:

  ip link add link eth0 name eth0.1 up type vlan id 1

We will get a refcount leak:

  unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0.1 to become free. Usage count = 2

The problem is when rtnl_configure_link() fails in rtnl_newlink(),
we simply call unregister_device(), but for stacked device like vlan,
we almost do nothing when we unregister the upper device, more work
is done when we unregister the lower device, so call its -&gt;dellink().
