[ Upstream commit 41703a731066fde79c3e5ccf3391cf77a98aeda5 ]

The bpf_clone_redirect() still needs to be listed in
bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data() since we call into
bpf_try_make_head_writable() from there, thus we need
to invalidate prior pkt regs as well.

<title>ipv4: add reference counting to metrics</title>

[ Upstream commit 3fb07daff8e99243366a081e5129560734de4ada ]

Andrey Konovalov reported crashes in ipv4_mtu()

I could reproduce the issue with KASAN kernels, between
10.246.7.151 and 10.246.7.152 :

1) 20 concurrent netperf -t TCP_RR -H 10.246.7.152 -l 1000 &amp;

2) At the same time run following loop :
while :
do
 ip ro add 10.246.7.152 dev eth0 src 10.246.7.151 mtu 1500
 ip ro del 10.246.7.152 dev eth0 src 10.246.7.151 mtu 1500
done

Cong Wang attempted to add back rt-&gt;fi in commit
82486aa6f1b9 ("ipv4: restore rt-&gt;fi for reference counting")
but this proved to add some issues that were complex to solve.

Instead, I suggested to add a refcount to the metrics themselves,
being a standalone object (in particular, no reference to other objects)

I tried to make this patch as small as possible to ease its backport,
instead of being super clean. Note that we believe that only ipv4 dst
need to take care of the metric refcount. But if this is wrong,
this patch adds the basic infrastructure to extend this to other
families.

Many thanks to Julian Anastasov for reviewing this patch, and Cong Wang
for his efforts on this problem.

<title>net: Improve handling of failures on link and route dumps</title>

[ Upstream commit f6c5775ff0bfa62b072face6bf1d40f659f194b2 ]

In general, rtnetlink dumps do not anticipate failure to dump a single
object (e.g., link or route) on a single pass. As both route and link
objects have grown via more attributes, that is no longer a given.

netlink dumps can handle a failure if the dump function returns an
error; specifically, netlink_dump adds the return code to the response
if it is &lt;= 0 so userspace is notified of the failure. The missing
piece is the rtnetlink dump functions returning the error.

Fix route and link dump functions to return the errors if no object is
added to an skb (detected by skb-&gt;len != 0). IPv6 route dumps
(rt6_dump_route) already return the error; this patch updates IPv4 and
link dumps. Other dump functions may need to be ajusted as well.

I should have known that lowering skb-&gt;truesize was dangerous :/

In case packets are not leaving the host via a standard Ethernet device,
but looped back to local sockets, bad things can happen, as reported
by Michael Madsen ( https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195713 )

So instead of tweaking skb-&gt;truesize, lets change skb-&gt;destructor
and keep a reference on the owner socket via its sk_refcnt.

The patch 327868212381 (make skb_copy_datagram_msg() et.al. preserve
-&gt;msg_iter on error) will revert the iov buffer if copy to iter
failed, but it didn't copy any datagram if the skb_checksum_complete
error, so no need to revert any data at this place.

v2: Sabrina notice that return -EFAULT when checksum error is not correct
    here, it would confuse the caller about the return value, so fix it.

IFLA_PHYS_PORT_NAME is a string attribute, so terminate it with \0.
Otherwise libnl3 fails to validate netlink messages with this attribute.
"ip -detail a" assumes too that the attribute is NUL-terminated when
printing it. It often was, due to padding.

I noticed this as libvirtd failing to start on a system with sfc driver
after upgrading it to Linux 4.11, i.e. when sfc added support for
phys_port_name.

[ 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

[ 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

[ 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.
