[ Upstream commit 80ec82e3d2c1fab42eeb730aaa7985494a963d3f ]

Several ethtool functions leave heap uncleared (potentially) by
drivers. This will leave the unused portion of heap unchanged and
might copy the full contents back to userspace.

[ Upstream commit ea6932d70e223e02fea3ae20a4feff05d7c1ea9a ]

There is a panic in socket ioctl cmd SIOCGSKNS when NET_NS is not enabled.
The reason is that nsfs tries to access ns-&gt;ops but the proc_ns_operations
is not implemented in this case.

[7.670023] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000010
[7.670268] pgd = 32b54000
[7.670544] [00000010] *pgd=00000000
[7.671861] Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP ARM

The same to tun SIOCGSKNS command.

To fix this problem, we make get_net_ns() return -EINVAL when NET_NS is
disabled. Meanwhile move it to right place net/core/net_namespace.c.

[ Upstream commit d2e381c4963663bca6f30c3b996fa4dbafe8fcb5 ]

Cited commit started returning errors when notification info is not
filled by the bridge driver, resulting in the following regression:

 # ip link add name br1 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
 # bridge vlan add dev br1 vid 555 self pvid untagged
 RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

As long as the bridge driver does not fill notification info for the
bridge device itself, an empty notification should not be considered as
an error. This is explained in commit 59ccaaaa49b5 ("bridge: dont send
notification when skb-&gt;len == 0 in rtnl_bridge_notify").

Fix by removing the error and add a comment to avoid future bugs.

commit 7a6b1ab7475fd6478eeaf5c9d1163e7a18125c8f upstream.

IFF_POINTOPOINT interfaces use NUD_NOARP entries for IPv6. It's possible to
fill up the neighbour table with enough entries that it will overflow for
valid connections after that.

This behaviour is more prevalent after commit 58956317c8de ("neighbor:
Improve garbage collection") is applied, as it prevents removal from
entries that are not NUD_FAILED, unless they are more than 5s old.

commit eefb45eef5c4c425e87667af8f5e904fbdd47abf upstream.

Following Race Condition was detected:

&lt;CPU A, t0&gt;: Executing: __netif_receive_skb() -&gt;__netif_receive_skb_core()
-&gt; arp_rcv() -&gt; arp_process().arp_process() calls __neigh_lookup() which
takes a reference on neighbour entry 'n'.
Moves further along, arp_process() and calls neigh_update()-&gt;
__neigh_update(). Neighbour entry is unlocked just before a call to
neigh_update_gc_list.

This unlocking paves way for another thread that may take a reference on
the same and mark it dead and remove it from gc_list.

&lt;CPU B, t1&gt; - neigh_flush_dev() is under execution and calls
neigh_mark_dead(n) marking the neighbour entry 'n' as dead. Also n will be
removed from gc_list.
Moves further along neigh_flush_dev() and calls
neigh_cleanup_and_release(n), but since reference count increased in t1,
'n' couldn't be destroyed.

&lt;CPU A, t3&gt;- Code hits neigh_update_gc_list, with neighbour entry
set as dead.

&lt;CPU A, t4&gt; - arp_process() finally calls neigh_release(n), destroying
the neighbour entry and we have a destroyed ntry still part of gc_list.

[ Upstream commit 84316ca4e100d8cbfccd9f774e23817cb2059868 ]

The skb_change_head() helper did not set "skb-&gt;mac_len", which is
problematic when it's used in combination with skb_redirect_peer().
Without it, redirecting a packet from a L3 device such as wireguard to
the veth peer device will cause skb-&gt;data to point to the middle of the
IP header on entry to tcp_v4_rcv() since the L2 header is not pulled
correctly due to mac_len=0.

[ Upstream commit dcad9ee9e0663d74a89b25b987f9c7be86432812 ]

The netdev qeueue might be stopped when byte queue limit has
reached or tx hw ring is full, net_tx_action() may still be
rescheduled if STATE_MISSED is set, which consumes unnecessary
cpu without dequeuing and transmiting any skb because the
netdev queue is stopped, see qdisc_run_end().

This patch fixes it by checking the netdev queue state before
calling qdisc_run() and clearing STATE_MISSED if netdev queue is
stopped during qdisc_run(), the net_tx_action() is rescheduled
again when netdev qeueue is restarted, see netif_tx_wake_queue().

As there is time window between netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped()
checking and STATE_MISSED clearing, between which STATE_MISSED
may set by net_tx_action() scheduled by netif_tx_wake_queue(),
so set the STATE_MISSED again if netdev queue is restarted.

[ Upstream commit dcad9ee9e0663d74a89b25b987f9c7be86432812 ]

The netdev qeueue might be stopped when byte queue limit has
reached or tx hw ring is full, net_tx_action() may still be
rescheduled if STATE_MISSED is set, which consumes unnecessary
cpu without dequeuing and transmiting any skb because the
netdev queue is stopped, see qdisc_run_end().

This patch fixes it by checking the netdev queue state before
calling qdisc_run() and clearing STATE_MISSED if netdev queue is
stopped during qdisc_run(), the net_tx_action() is rescheduled
again when netdev qeueue is restarted, see netif_tx_wake_queue().

As there is time window between netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped()
checking and STATE_MISSED clearing, between which STATE_MISSED
may set by net_tx_action() scheduled by netif_tx_wake_queue(),
so set the STATE_MISSED again if netdev queue is restarted.

[ Upstream commit 102b55ee92f9fda4dde7a45d2b20538e6e3e3d1e ]

Currently qdisc_run() checks the STATE_DEACTIVATED of lockless
qdisc before calling __qdisc_run(), which ultimately clear the
STATE_MISSED when all the skb is dequeued. If STATE_DEACTIVATED
is set before clearing STATE_MISSED, there may be rescheduling
of net_tx_action() at the end of qdisc_run_end(), see below:

CPU0(net_tx_atcion)  CPU1(__dev_xmit_skb)  CPU2(dev_deactivate)
          .                   .                     .
          .            set STATE_MISSED             .
          .           __netif_schedule()            .
          .                   .           set STATE_DEACTIVATED
          .                   .                qdisc_reset()
          .                   .                     .
          .&lt;---------------   .              synchronize_net()
clear __QDISC_STATE_SCHED  |  .                     .
          .                |  .                     .
          .                |  .            some_qdisc_is_busy()
          .                |  .               return *false*
          .                |  .                     .
  test STATE_DEACTIVATED   |  .                     .
__qdisc_run() *not* called |  .                     .
          .                |  .                     .
   test STATE_MISS         |  .                     .
 __netif_schedule()--------|  .                     .
          .                   .                     .
          .                   .                     .

__qdisc_run() is not called by net_tx_atcion() in CPU0 because
CPU2 has set STATE_DEACTIVATED flag during dev_deactivate(), and
STATE_MISSED is only cleared in __qdisc_run(), __netif_schedule
is called at the end of qdisc_run_end(), causing tx action
rescheduling problem.

qdisc_run() called by net_tx_action() runs in the softirq context,
which should has the same semantic as the qdisc_run() called by
__dev_xmit_skb() protected by rcu_read_lock_bh(). And there is a
synchronize_net() between STATE_DEACTIVATED flag being set and
qdisc_reset()/some_qdisc_is_busy in dev_deactivate(), we can safely
bail out for the deactived lockless qdisc in net_tx_action(), and
qdisc_reset() will reset all skb not dequeued yet.

So add the rcu_read_lock() explicitly to protect the qdisc_run()
and do the STATE_DEACTIVATED checking in net_tx_action() before
calling qdisc_run_begin(). Another option is to do the checking in
the qdisc_run_end(), but it will add unnecessary overhead for
non-tx_action case, because __dev_queue_xmit() will not see qdisc
with STATE_DEACTIVATED after synchronize_net(), the qdisc with
STATE_DEACTIVATED can only be seen by net_tx_action() because of
__netif_schedule().

The STATE_DEACTIVATED checking in qdisc_run() is to avoid race
between net_tx_action() and qdisc_reset(), see:
commit d518d2ed8640 ("net/sched: fix race between deactivation
and dequeue for NOLOCK qdisc"). As the bailout added above for
deactived lockless qdisc in net_tx_action() provides better
protection for the race without calling qdisc_run() at all, so
remove the STATE_DEACTIVATED checking in qdisc_run().

After qdisc_reset(), there is no skb in qdisc to be dequeued, so
clear the STATE_MISSED in dev_reset_queue() too.
