[ 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:

skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:ffffffff81628db4 len:-32 put:-32

commit cdda88912d62f9603d27433338a18be83ef23ac1 upstream.

    I found if we write a larger than 4GB value to some sysctl
variables, the sending syscall will hang up forever, because these
variables are 32 bits, such large values make them overflow to 0 or
negative.

    This patch try to fix overflow or prevent from zero value setup
of below sysctl variables:

net.core.wmem_default
net.core.rmem_default

net.core.rmem_max
net.core.wmem_max

net.ipv4.udp_rmem_min
net.ipv4.udp_wmem_min

net.ipv4.tcp_wmem

[ 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.

[ 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().

[ Upstream commit ac64da0b83d82abe62f78b3d0e21cca31aea24fa ]

softnet_data.input_pkt_queue is protected by a spinlock that
we must hold when transferring packets from victim queue to an active
one. This is because other cpus could still be trying to enqueue packets
into victim queue.

A second problem is that when we transfert the NAPI poll_list from
victim to current cpu, we absolutely need to special case the percpu
backlog, because we do not want to add complex locking to protect
process_queue : Only owner cpu is allowed to manipulate it, unless cpu
is offline.

Based on initial patch from Prasad Sodagudi &amp; Subash Abhinov
Kasiviswanathan.

This version is better because we do not slow down packet processing,
only make migration safer.

commit d079535d5e1bf5e2e7c856bae2483414ea21e137 upstream.

In case we move the whole dev group to another netns,
we should call for_each_netdev_safe(), otherwise we get
a soft lockup:

<title>rtnetlink: ifla_vf_policy: fix misuses of NLA_BINARY</title>

commit 364d5716a7adb91b731a35765d369602d68d2881 upstream.

ifla_vf_policy[] is wrong in advertising its individual member types as
NLA_BINARY since .type = NLA_BINARY in combination with .len declares the
len member as *max* attribute length [0, len].

The issue is that when do_setvfinfo() is being called to set up a VF
through ndo handler, we could set corrupted data if the attribute length
is less than the size of the related structure itself.

The intent is exactly the opposite, namely to make sure to pass at least
data of minimum size of len.

<title>net/core: Handle csum for CHECKSUM_COMPLETE VXLAN forwarding</title>

[ Upstream commit 2c26d34bbcc0b3f30385d5587aa232289e2eed8e ]

When using VXLAN tunnels and a sky2 device, I have experienced
checksum failures of the following type:

[ 4297.761899] eth0: hw csum failure
[...]
[ 4297.765223] Call Trace:
[ 4297.765224]  &lt;IRQ&gt;  [&lt;ffffffff8172f026&gt;] dump_stack+0x46/0x58
[ 4297.765235]  [&lt;ffffffff8162ba52&gt;] netdev_rx_csum_fault+0x42/0x50
[ 4297.765238]  [&lt;ffffffff8161c1a0&gt;] ? skb_push+0x40/0x40
[ 4297.765240]  [&lt;ffffffff8162325c&gt;] __skb_checksum_complete+0xbc/0xd0
[ 4297.765243]  [&lt;ffffffff8168c602&gt;] tcp_v4_rcv+0x2e2/0x950
[ 4297.765246]  [&lt;ffffffff81666ca0&gt;] ? ip_rcv_finish+0x360/0x360

	These are reliably reproduced in a network topology of:

container:eth0 == host(OVS VXLAN on VLAN) == bond0 == eth0 (sky2) -&gt; switch

	When VXLAN encapsulated traffic is received from a similarly
configured peer, the above warning is generated in the receive
processing of the encapsulated packet.  Note that the warning is
associated with the container eth0.

        The skbs from sky2 have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, and
because the packet is an encapsulated Ethernet frame, the checksum
generated by the hardware includes the inner protocol and Ethernet
headers.

	The receive code is careful to update the skb-&gt;csum, except in
__dev_forward_skb, as called by dev_forward_skb.  __dev_forward_skb
calls eth_type_trans, which in turn calls skb_pull_inline(skb, ETH_HLEN)
to skip over the Ethernet header, but does not update skb-&gt;csum when
doing so.

	This patch resolves the problem by adding a call to
skb_postpull_rcsum to update the skb-&gt;csum after the call to
eth_type_trans.

processing of the encapsulated packet.  Note that the warning is
associated with the container eth0.

        The skbs from sky2 have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, and
because the packet is an encapsulated Ethernet frame, the checksum
generated by the hardware includes the inner protocol and Ethernet
headers.

	The receive code is careful to update the skb-&gt;csum, except in
__dev_forward_skb, as called by dev_forward_skb.  __dev_forward_skb
calls eth_type_trans, which in turn calls skb_pull_inline(skb, ETH_HLEN)
to skip over the Ethernet header, but does not update skb-&gt;csum when
doing so.

	This patch resolves the problem by adding a call to
skb_postpull_rcsum to update the skb-&gt;csum after the call to
eth_type_trans.

<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.
