[ Upstream commit 3a0ed3e9619738067214871e9cb826fa23b2ddb9 ]

Al Viro mentioned (Message-ID
&lt;20170626041334.GZ10672@ZenIV.linux.org.uk&gt;)
that there is probably a race condition
lurking in accesses of sk_stamp on 32-bit machines.

sock-&gt;sk_stamp is of type ktime_t which is always an s64.
On a 32 bit architecture, we might run into situations of
unsafe access as the access to the field becomes non atomic.

Use seqlocks for synchronization.
This allows us to avoid using spinlocks for readers as
readers do not need mutual exclusion.

Another approach to solve this is to require sk_lock for all
modifications of the timestamps. The current approach allows
for timestamps to have their own lock: sk_stamp_lock.
This allows for the patch to not compete with already
existing critical sections, and side effects are limited
to the paths in the patch.

The addition of the new field maintains the data locality
optimizations from
commit 9115e8cd2a0c ("net: reorganize struct sock for better data
locality")

Note that all the instances of the sk_stamp accesses
are either through the ioctl or the syscall recvmsg.

[ Upstream commit 688838934c231bb08f46db687e57f6d8bf82709c ]

kmsan was able to trigger a kernel-infoleak using a gre device [1]

nlmsg_populate_fdb_fill() has a hard coded assumption
that dev-&gt;addr_len is ETH_ALEN, as normally guaranteed
for ARPHRD_ETHER devices.

A similar issue was fixed recently in commit da71577545a5
("rtnetlink: Disallow FDB configuration for non-Ethernet device")

<title>net-gro: reset skb-&gt;pkt_type in napi_reuse_skb()</title>

[ Upstream commit 33d9a2c72f086cbf1087b2fd2d1a15aa9df14a7f ]

eth_type_trans() assumes initial value for skb-&gt;pkt_type
is PACKET_HOST.

This is indeed the value right after a fresh skb allocation.

However, it is possible that GRO merged a packet with a different
value (like PACKET_OTHERHOST in case macvlan is used), so
we need to make sure napi-&gt;skb will have pkt_type set back to
PACKET_HOST.

Otherwise, valid packets might be dropped by the stack because
their pkt_type is not PACKET_HOST.

napi_reuse_skb() was added in commit 96e93eab2033 ("gro: Add
internal interfaces for VLAN"), but this bug always has
been there.

<title>flow_dissector: do not dissect l4 ports for fragments</title>

[ Upstream commit 62230715fd2453b3ba948c9d83cfb3ada9169169 ]

Only first fragment has the sport/dport information,
not the following ones.

If we want consistent hash for all fragments, we need to
ignore ports even for first fragment.

This bug is visible for IPv6 traffic, if incoming fragments
do not have a flow label, since skb_get_hash() will give
different results for first fragment and following ones.

It is also visible if any routing rule wants dissection
and sport or dport.

See commit 5e5d6fed3741 ("ipv6: route: dissect flow
in input path if fib rules need it") for details.

[edumazet] rewrote the changelog completely.

<title>rtnetlink: Disallow FDB configuration for non-Ethernet device</title>

[ 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 0e1d6eca5113858ed2caea61a5adc03c595f6096 ]

We have an impressive number of syzkaller bugs that are linked
to the fact that syzbot was able to create a networking device
with millions of TX (or RX) queues.

Let's limit the number of RX/TX queues to 4096, this really should
cover all known cases.

A separate patch will add various cond_resched() in the loops
handling sysfs entries at device creation and dismantle.

[ Upstream commit 0e1d6eca5113858ed2caea61a5adc03c595f6096 ]

We have an impressive number of syzkaller bugs that are linked
to the fact that syzbot was able to create a networking device
with millions of TX (or RX) queues.

Let's limit the number of RX/TX queues to 4096, this really should
cover all known cases.

A separate patch will add various cond_resched() in the loops
handling sysfs entries at device creation and dismantle.

<title>net: ipv4: update fnhe_pmtu when first hop's MTU changes</title>

[ Upstream commit af7d6cce53694a88d6a1bb60c9a239a6a5144459 ]

Since commit 5aad1de5ea2c ("ipv4: use separate genid for next hop
exceptions"), exceptions get deprecated separately from cached
routes. In particular, administrative changes don't clear PMTU anymore.

As Stefano described in commit e9fa1495d738 ("ipv6: Reflect MTU changes
on PMTU of exceptions for MTU-less routes"), the PMTU discovered before
the local MTU change can become stale:
 - if the local MTU is now lower than the PMTU, that PMTU is now
   incorrect
 - if the local MTU was the lowest value in the path, and is increased,
   we might discover a higher PMTU

Similarly to what commit e9fa1495d738 did for IPv6, update PMTU in those
cases.

If the exception was locked, the discovered PMTU was smaller than the
minimal accepted PMTU. In that case, if the new local MTU is smaller
than the current PMTU, let PMTU discovery figure out if locking of the
exception is still needed.

To do this, we need to know the old link MTU in the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU
notifier. By the time the notifier is called, dev-&gt;mtu has been
changed. This patch adds the old MTU as additional information in the
notifier structure, and a new call_netdevice_notifiers_u32() function.

<title>tcp: use an RB tree for ooo receive queue</title>

[ Upstream commit 9f5afeae51526b3ad7b7cb21ee8b145ce6ea7a7a ]

Over the years, TCP BDP has increased by several orders of magnitude,
and some people are considering to reach the 2 Gbytes limit.

Even with current window scale limit of 14, ~1 Gbytes maps to ~740,000
MSS.

In presence of packet losses (or reorders), TCP stores incoming packets
into an out of order queue, and number of skbs sitting there waiting for
the missing packets to be received can be in the 10^5 range.

Most packets are appended to the tail of this queue, and when
packets can finally be transferred to receive queue, we scan the queue
from its head.

However, in presence of heavy losses, we might have to find an arbitrary
point in this queue, involving a linear scan for every incoming packet,
throwing away cpu caches.

This patch converts it to a RB tree, to get bounded latencies.

Yaogong wrote a preliminary patch about 2 years ago.
Eric did the rebase, added ofo_last_skb cache, polishing and tests.

Tested with network dropping between 1 and 10 % packets, with good
success (about 30 % increase of throughput in stress tests)

Next step would be to also use an RB tree for the write queue at sender
side ;)

[ Upstream commit f0e0d04413fcce9bc76388839099aee93cd0d33b ]

Update 'confirmed' timestamp when ARP packet is received. It shouldn't
affect locktime logic and anyway entry can be confirmed by any higher-layer
protocol. Thus it makes sense to confirm it when ARP packet is received.
