[ Upstream commit c70b17b775edb21280e9de7531acf6db3b365274 ]

Reducing real_num_tx_queues needs to be in sync with skb queue_mapping
otherwise skbs with queue_mapping greater than real_num_tx_queues
can be sent to the underlying driver and can result in kernel panic.

One such event is running netconsole and enabling VF on the same
device. Or running netconsole and changing number of tx queues via
ethtool on same device.

e.g.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
tsk-&gt;{mm,active_mm}-&gt;context = 0000000000001525
tsk-&gt;{mm,active_mm}-&gt;pgd = fff800130ff9a000

<title>gso: Validate assumption of frag_list segementation</title>

[ Upstream commit 43170c4e0ba709c79130c3fe5a41e66279950cd0 ]

Commit 07b26c9454a2 ("gso: Support partial splitting at the frag_list
pointer") assumes that all SKBs in a frag_list (except maybe the last
one) contain the same amount of GSO payload.

This assumption is not always correct, resulting in the following
warning message in the log:
    skb_segment: too many frags

For example, mlx5 driver in Striding RQ mode creates some RX SKBs with
one frag, and some with 2 frags.
After GRO, the frag_list SKBs end up having different amounts of payload.
If this frag_list SKB is then forwarded, the aforementioned assumption
is violated.

Validate the assumption, and fall back to software GSO if it not true.

[ Upstream commit 1862d6208db0aeca9c8ace44915b08d5ab2cd667 ]

Syzkaller reported a use-after-free in ip_recv_error at line

    info-&gt;ipi_ifindex = skb-&gt;dev-&gt;ifindex;

This function is called on dequeue from the error queue, at which
point the device pointer may no longer be valid.

Save ifindex on enqueue in __skb_complete_tx_timestamp, when the
pointer is valid or NULL. Store it in temporary storage skb-&gt;cb.

It is safe to reference skb-&gt;dev here, as called from device drivers
or dev_queue_xmit. The exception is when called from tcp_ack_tstamp;
in that case it is NULL and ifindex is set to 0 (invalid).

Do not return a pktinfo cmsg if ifindex is 0. This maintains the
current behavior of not returning a cmsg if skb-&gt;dev was NULL.

On dequeue, the ipv4 path will cast from sock_exterr_skb to
in_pktinfo. Both have ifindex as their first element, so no explicit
conversion is needed. This is by design, introduced in commit
0b922b7a829c ("net: original ingress device index in PKTINFO"). For
ipv6 ip6_datagram_support_cmsg converts to in6_pktinfo.

[ Upstream commit 48481c8fa16410ffa45939b13b6c53c2ca609e5f ]

Dmitry posted a nice reproducer of a bug triggering in neigh_probe()
when dereferencing a NULL neigh-&gt;ops-&gt;solicit method.

This can happen for arp_direct_ops/ndisc_direct_ops and similar,
which can be used for NUD_NOARP neighbours (created when dev-&gt;header_ops
is NULL). Admin can then force changing nud_state to some other state
that would fire neigh timer.

commit 3278682123811dd8ef07de5eb701fc4548fcebf2 upstream.

Fixes the mess observed in e.g. rsync over a noisy link we'd been
seeing since last Summer.  What happens is that we copy part of
a datagram before noticing a checksum mismatch.  Datagram will be
resent, all right, but we want the next try go into the same place,
not after it...

All this family of primitives (copy/checksum and copy a datagram
into destination) is "all or nothing" sort of interface - either
we get 0 (meaning that copy had been successful) or we get an
error (and no way to tell how much had been copied before we ran
into whatever error it had been).  Make all of them leave iterator
unadvanced in case of errors - all callers must be able to cope
with that (an error might've been caught before the iterator had
been advanced), it costs very little to arrange, it's safer for
callers and actually fixes at least one bug in said callers.

we get 0 (meaning that copy had been successful) or we get an
error (and no way to tell how much had been copied before we ran
into whatever error it had been).  Make all of them leave iterator
unadvanced in case of errors - all callers must be able to cope
with that (an error might've been caught before the iterator had
been advanced), it costs very little to arrange, it's safer for
callers and actually fixes at least one bug in said callers.

<title>cgroup, net_cls: iterate the fds of only the tasks which are being migrated</title>

commit a05d4fd9176003e0c1f9c3d083f4dac19fd346ab upstream.

The net_cls controller controls the classid field of each socket which
is associated with the cgroup.  Because the classid is per-socket
attribute, when a task migrates to another cgroup or the configured
classid of the cgroup changes, the controller needs to walk all
sockets and update the classid value, which was implemented by
3b13758f51de ("cgroups: Allow dynamically changing net_classid").

While the approach is not scalable, migrating tasks which have a lot
of fds attached to them is rare and the cost is born by the ones
initiating the operations.  However, for simplicity, both the
migration and classid config change paths call update_classid() which
scans all fds of all tasks in the target css.  This is an overkill for
the migration path which only needs to cover a much smaller subset of
tasks which are actually getting migrated in.

On cgroup v1, this can lead to unexpected scalability issues when one
tries to migrate a task or process into a net_cls cgroup which already
contains a lot of fds.  Even if the migration traget doesn't have many
to get scanned, update_classid() ends up scanning all fds in the
target cgroup which can be extremely numerous.

Unfortunately, on cgroup v2 which doesn't use net_cls, the problem is
even worse.  Before bfc2cf6f61fc ("cgroup: call subsys-&gt;*attach() only
for subsystems which are actually affected by migration"), cgroup core
would call the -&gt;css_attach callback even for controllers which don't
see actual migration to a different css.

As net_cls is always disabled but still mounted on cgroup v2, whenever
a process is migrated on the cgroup v2 hierarchy, net_cls sees
identity migration from root to root and cgroup core used to call
-&gt;css_attach callback for those.  The net_cls -&gt;css_attach ends up
calling update_classid() on the root net_cls css to which all
processes on the system belong to as the controller isn't used.  This
makes any cgroup v2 migration O(total_number_of_fds_on_the_system)
which is horrible and easily leads to noticeable stalls triggering RCU
stall warnings and so on.

The worst symptom is already fixed in upstream by bfc2cf6f61fc
("cgroup: call subsys-&gt;*attach() only for subsystems which are
actually affected by migration"); however, backporting that commit is
too invasive and we want to avoid other cases too.

This patch updates net_cls's cgrp_attach() to iterate fds of only the
processes which are actually getting migrated.  This removes the
surprising migration cost which is dependent on the total number of
fds in the target cgroup.  As this leaves write_classid() the only
user of update_classid(), open-code the helper into write_classid().

<title>socket, bpf: fix sk_filter use after free in sk_clone_lock</title>

[ Upstream commit a97e50cc4cb67e1e7bff56f6b41cda62ca832336 ]

In sk_clone_lock(), we create a new socket and inherit most of the
parent's members via sock_copy() which memcpy()'s various sections.
Now, in case the parent socket had a BPF socket filter attached,
then newsk-&gt;sk_filter points to the same instance as the original
sk-&gt;sk_filter.

sk_filter_charge() is then called on the newsk-&gt;sk_filter to take a
reference and should that fail due to hitting max optmem, we bail
out and release the newsk instance.

The issue is that commit 278571baca2a ("net: filter: simplify socket
charging") wrongly combined the dismantle path with the failure path
of xfrm_sk_clone_policy(). This means, even when charging failed, we
call sk_free_unlock_clone() on the newsk, which then still points to
the same sk_filter as the original sk.

Thus, sk_free_unlock_clone() calls into __sk_destruct() eventually
where it tests for present sk_filter and calls sk_filter_uncharge()
on it, which potentially lets sk_omem_alloc wrap around and releases
the eBPF prog and sk_filter structure from the (still intact) parent.

Fix it by making sure that when sk_filter_charge() failed, we reset
newsk-&gt;sk_filter back to NULL before passing to sk_free_unlock_clone(),
so that we don't mess with the parents sk_filter.

Only if xfrm_sk_clone_policy() fails, we did reach the point where
either the parent's filter was NULL and as a result newsk's as well
or where we previously had a successful sk_filter_charge(), thus for
that case, we do need sk_filter_uncharge() to release the prior taken
reference on sk_filter.

[ Upstream commit 22a0e18eac7a9e986fec76c60fa4a2926d1291e2 ]

I mistakenly added the code to release sk-&gt;sk_frag in
sk_common_release() instead of sk_destruct()

TCP sockets using sk-&gt;sk_allocation == GFP_ATOMIC do no call
sk_common_release() at close time, thus leaking one (order-3) page.

iSCSI is using such sockets.
