If a cgroup has many tasks with many open file descriptors then we would
end up in a large loop without any rescheduling point throught the
operation. Add cond_resched once per task.

Just like with normal GRO processing, we have to initialize
skb-&gt;next to NULL when we unlink overflow packets from the
GRO hash lists.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit da71577545a52be3e0e9225a946e5fd79cfab015 ]

When an FDB entry is configured, the address is validated to have the
length of an Ethernet address, but the device for which the address is
configured can be of any type.

The above can result in the use of uninitialized memory when the address
is later compared against existing addresses since 'dev-&gt;addr_len' is
used and it may be greater than ETH_ALEN, as with ip6tnl devices.

Fix this by making sure that FDB entries are only configured for
Ethernet devices.

[ Upstream commit da71577545a52be3e0e9225a946e5fd79cfab015 ]

When an FDB entry is configured, the address is validated to have the
length of an Ethernet address, but the device for which the address is
configured can be of any type.

The above can result in the use of uninitialized memory when the address
is later compared against existing addresses since 'dev-&gt;addr_len' is
used and it may be greater than ETH_ALEN, as with ip6tnl devices.

Fix this by making sure that FDB entries are only configured for
Ethernet devices.

This broke tcp_poll for SMC fallback: An AF_SMC socket establishes an

Whenever the SMC connection can not be established this TCP socket is
used as a fallback. All socket operations on the SMC socket are then
forwarded to the TCP socket. In case of poll, the file-&gt;private_data
pointer references the SMC socket because the TCP socket has no file
assigned. This causes tcp_poll to wait on the wrong socket.

<title>net: udp: fix handling of CHECKSUM_COMPLETE packets</title>

[ Upstream commit db4f1be3ca9b0ef7330763d07bf4ace83ad6f913 ]

Current handling of CHECKSUM_COMPLETE packets by the UDP stack is
incorrect for any packet that has an incorrect checksum value.

udp4/6_csum_init() will both make a call to
__skb_checksum_validate_complete() to initialize/validate the csum
field when receiving a CHECKSUM_COMPLETE packet. When this packet
fails validation, skb-&gt;csum will be overwritten with the pseudoheader
checksum so the packet can be fully validated by software, but the
skb-&gt;ip_summed value will be left as CHECKSUM_COMPLETE so that way
the stack can later warn the user about their hardware spewing bad
checksums. Unfortunately, leaving the SKB in this state can cause
problems later on in the checksum calculation.

Since the the packet is still marked as CHECKSUM_COMPLETE,
udp_csum_pull_header() will SUBTRACT the checksum of the UDP header
from skb-&gt;csum instead of adding it, leaving us with a garbage value
in that field. Once we try to copy the packet to userspace in the
udp4/6_recvmsg(), we'll make a call to skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_msg()
to checksum the packet data and add it in the garbage skb-&gt;csum value
to perform our final validation check.

Since the value we're validating is not the proper checksum, it's possible
that the folded value could come out to 0, causing us not to drop the
packet. Instead, we believe that the packet was checksummed incorrectly
by hardware since skb-&gt;ip_summed is still CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, and we attempt
to warn the user with netdev_rx_csum_fault(skb-&gt;dev);

Unfortunately, since this is the UDP path, skb-&gt;dev has been overwritten
by skb-&gt;dev_scratch and is no longer a valid pointer, so we end up
reading invalid memory.

This patch addresses this problem in two ways:
	1) Do not use the dev pointer when calling netdev_rx_csum_fault()
	   from skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_msg(). Since this gets called
	   from the UDP path where skb-&gt;dev has been overwritten, we have
	   no way of knowing if the pointer is still valid. Also for the
	   sake of consistency with the other uses of
	   netdev_rx_csum_fault(), don't attempt to call it if the
	   packet was checksummed by software.

	2) Add better CHECKSUM_COMPLETE handling to udp4/6_csum_init().
	   If we receive a packet that's CHECKSUM_COMPLETE that fails
	   verification (i.e. skb-&gt;csum_valid == 0), check who performed
	   the calculation. It's possible that the checksum was done in
	   software by the network stack earlier (such as Netfilter's
	   CONNTRACK module), and if that says the checksum is bad,
	   we can drop the packet immediately instead of waiting until
	   we try and copy it to userspace. Otherwise, we need to
	   mark the SKB as CHECKSUM_NONE, since the skb-&gt;csum field
	   no longer contains the full packet checksum after the
	   call to __skb_checksum_validate_complete().

This reverts commit 8e326289e3069dfc9fa9c209924668dd031ab8ef.

This patch results in unnecessary netlink notification when one
tries to delete a neigh entry already in NUD_FAILED state. Found
this with a buggy app that tries to delete a NUD_FAILED entry
repeatedly. While the notification issue can be fixed with more
checks, adding more complexity here seems unnecessary. Also,
recent tests with other changes in the neighbour code have
shown that the INCOMPLETE and PROBE checks are good enough for
the original issue.

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().

In dev_ethtool(), the eth command 'ethcmd' is firstly copied from the
use-space buffer 'useraddr' and checked to see whether it is
ETHTOOL_PERQUEUE. If yes, the sub-command 'sub_cmd' is further copied from
the user space. Otherwise, 'sub_cmd' is the same as 'ethcmd'. Next,
according to 'sub_cmd', a permission check is enforced through the function
ns_capable(). For example, the permission check is required if 'sub_cmd' is
ETHTOOL_SCOALESCE, but it is not necessary if 'sub_cmd' is
ETHTOOL_GCOALESCE, as suggested in the comment "Allow some commands to be
done by anyone". The following execution invokes different handlers
according to 'ethcmd'. Specifically, if 'ethcmd' is ETHTOOL_PERQUEUE,
ethtool_set_per_queue() is called. In ethtool_set_per_queue(), the kernel
object 'per_queue_opt' is copied again from the user-space buffer
'useraddr' and 'per_queue_opt.sub_command' is used to determine which
operation should be performed. Given that the buffer 'useraddr' is in the
user space, a malicious user can race to change the sub-command between the
two copies. In particular, the attacker can supply ETHTOOL_PERQUEUE and
ETHTOOL_GCOALESCE to bypass the permission check in dev_ethtool(). Then
before ethtool_set_per_queue() is called, the attacker changes
ETHTOOL_GCOALESCE to ETHTOOL_SCOALESCE. In this way, the attacker can
bypass the permission check and execute ETHTOOL_SCOALESCE.

This patch enforces a check in ethtool_set_per_queue() after the second
copy from 'useraddr'. If the sub-command is different from the one obtained
in the first copy in dev_ethtool(), an error code EINVAL will be returned.

<title>ethtool: fix a missing-check bug</title>

In ethtool_get_rxnfc(), the eth command 'cmd' is compared against
'ETHTOOL_GRXFH' to see whether it is necessary to adjust the variable
'info_size'. Then the whole structure of 'info' is copied from the
user-space buffer 'useraddr' with 'info_size' bytes. In the following
execution, 'info' may be copied again from the buffer 'useraddr' depending
on the 'cmd' and the 'info.flow_type'. However, after these two copies,
there is no check between 'cmd' and 'info.cmd'. In fact, 'cmd' is also
copied from the buffer 'useraddr' in dev_ethtool(), which is the caller
function of ethtool_get_rxnfc(). Given that 'useraddr' is in the user
space, a malicious user can race to change the eth command in the buffer
between these copies. By doing so, the attacker can supply inconsistent
data and cause undefined behavior because in the following execution 'info'
will be passed to ops-&gt;get_rxnfc().

This patch adds a necessary check on 'info.cmd' and 'cmd' to confirm that
they are still same after the two copies in ethtool_get_rxnfc(). Otherwise,
an error code EINVAL will be returned.
