[ Upstream commit 3dc20f4762c62d3b3f0940644881ed818aa7b2f5 ]

Currently, it is not possible to migrate a neighbor entry between NUD_PERMANENT
state and NTF_USE flag with a dynamic NUD state from a user space control plane.
Similarly, it is not possible to add/remove NTF_EXT_LEARNED flag from an existing
neighbor entry in combination with NTF_USE flag.

This is due to the latter directly calling into neigh_event_send() without any
meta data updates as happening in __neigh_update(). Thus, to enable this use
case, extend the latter with a NEIGH_UPDATE_F_USE flag where we break the
NUD_PERMANENT state in particular so that a latter neigh_event_send() is able
to re-resolve a neighbor entry.

Before fix, NUD_PERMANENT -&gt; NUD_* &amp; NTF_USE:

  # ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a
  # ./ip/ip n
  192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a PERMANENT
  [...]
  # ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 use extern_learn
  # ./ip/ip n
  192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a PERMANENT
  [...]

As can be seen, despite the admin-triggered replace, the entry remains in the
NUD_PERMANENT state.

After fix, NUD_PERMANENT -&gt; NUD_* &amp; NTF_USE:

  # ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a
  # ./ip/ip n
  192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a PERMANENT
  [...]
  # ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 use extern_learn
  # ./ip/ip n
  192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a extern_learn REACHABLE
  [...]
  # ./ip/ip n
  192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a extern_learn STALE
  [...]
  # ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a
  # ./ip/ip n
  192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a PERMANENT
  [...]

After the fix, the admin-triggered replace switches to a dynamic state from
the NTF_USE flag which triggered a new neighbor resolution. Likewise, we can
transition back from there, if needed, into NUD_PERMANENT.

Similar before/after behavior can be observed for below transitions:

Before fix, NTF_USE -&gt; NTF_USE | NTF_EXT_LEARNED -&gt; NTF_USE:

  # ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 use
  # ./ip/ip n
  192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a REACHABLE

  # ./ip/ip n

<title>bpf: sockmap, strparser, and tls are reusing qdisc_skb_cb and colliding</title>

[ Upstream commit e0dc3b93bd7bcff8c3813d1df43e0908499c7cf0 ]

Strparser is reusing the qdisc_skb_cb struct to stash the skb message handling
progress, e.g. offset and length of the skb. First this is poorly named and
inherits a struct from qdisc that doesn't reflect the actual usage of cb[] at
this layer.

But, more importantly strparser is using the following to access its metadata.

  (struct _strp_msg *)((void *)skb-&gt;cb + offsetof(struct qdisc_skb_cb, data))

Where _strp_msg is defined as:

  struct _strp_msg {
        struct strp_msg            strp;                 /*     0     8 */
        int                        accum_len;            /*     8     4 */

        /* size: 12, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
        /* last cacheline: 12 bytes */
  };

So we use 12 bytes of -&gt;data[] in struct. However in BPF code running parser
and verdict the user has read capabilities into the data[] array as well. Its
not too problematic, but we should not be exposing internal state to BPF
program. If its really needed then we can use the probe_read() APIs which allow
reading kernel memory. And I don't believe cb[] layer poses any API breakage by
moving this around because programs can't depend on cb[] across layers.

In order to fix another issue with a ctx rewrite we need to stash a temp
variable somewhere. To make this work cleanly this patch builds a cb struct
for sk_skb types called sk_skb_cb struct. Then we can use this consistently
in the strparser, sockmap space. Additionally we can start allowing -&gt;cb[]
write access after this.

<title>net: stream: don't purge sk_error_queue in sk_stream_kill_queues()</title>

[ Upstream commit 24bcbe1cc69fa52dc4f7b5b2456678ed464724d8 ]

sk_stream_kill_queues() can be called on close when there are
still outstanding skbs to transmit. Those skbs may try to queue
notifications to the error queue (e.g. timestamps).
If sk_stream_kill_queues() purges the queue without taking
its lock the queue may get corrupted, and skbs leaked.

This shows up as a warning about an rmem leak:

WARNING: CPU: 24 PID: 0 at net/ipv4/af_inet.c:154 inet_sock_destruct+0x...

The leak is always a multiple of 0x300 bytes (the value is in
%rax on my builds, so RAX: 0000000000000300). 0x300 is truesize of
an empty sk_buff. Indeed if we dump the socket state at the time
of the warning the sk_error_queue is often (but not always)
corrupted. The -&gt;next pointer points back at the list head,
but not the -&gt;prev pointer. Indeed we can find the leaked skb
by scanning the kernel memory for something that looks like
an skb with -&gt;sk = socket in question, and -&gt;truesize = 0x300.
The contents of -&gt;cb[] of the skb confirms the suspicion that
it is indeed a timestamp notification (as generated in
__skb_complete_tx_timestamp()).

Removing purging of sk_error_queue should be okay, since
inet_sock_destruct() does it again once all socket refs
are gone. Eric suggests this may cause sockets that go
thru disconnect() to maintain notifications from the
previous incarnations of the socket, but that should be
okay since the race was there anyway, and disconnect()
is not exactly dependable.

Thanks to Jonathan Lemon and Omar Sandoval for help at various
stages of tracing the issue.

The NTF_EXT_LEARNED neigh flag is usually propagated back to user space
upon dump of the neighbor table. However, when used in combination with
NTF_USE flag this is not the case despite exempting the entry from the
garbage collector. This results in inconsistent state since entries are
typically marked in neigh-&gt;flags with NTF_EXT_LEARNED, but here they are
not. Fix it by propagating the creation flag to ___neigh_create().

[ Upstream commit aed0826b0cf2e488900ab92193893e803d65c070 ]

The key_domain member in struct net only exists if we define CONFIG_KEYS.
So we should add the define when we used key_domain.

[ Upstream commit 146e5e733310379f51924111068f08a3af0db830 ]

Due to deadlocks in the networking subsystem spotted 12 years ago[1],
a workaround was put in place[2] to avoid taking the rtnl lock when it
was not available and restarting the syscall (back to VFS, letting
userspace spin). The following construction is found a lot in the net
sysfs and sysctl code:

  if (!rtnl_trylock())
          return restart_syscall();

This can be problematic when multiple userspace threads use such
interfaces in a short period, making them to spin a lot. This happens
for example when adding and moving virtual interfaces: userspace
programs listening on events, such as systemd-udevd and NetworkManager,
do trigger actions reading files in sysfs. It gets worse when a lot of
virtual interfaces are created concurrently, say when creating
containers at boot time.

Returning early without hitting the above pattern when the syscall will
fail eventually does make things better. While it is not a fix for the
issue, it does ease things.

    and https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20090226084924.16cb3e08@nehalam/
[2] Rightfully, those deadlocks are *hard* to solve.

[ Upstream commit 1e080f17750d1083e8a32f7b350584ae1cd7ff20 ]

mq / mqprio make the default child qdiscs visible. They only do
so for the qdiscs which are within real_num_tx_queues when the
device is registered. Depending on order of calls in the driver,
or if user space changes config via ethtool -L the number of
qdiscs visible under tc qdisc show will differ from the number
of queues. This is confusing to users and potentially to system
configuration scripts which try to make sure qdiscs have the
right parameters.

Add a new Qdisc_ops callback and make relevant qdiscs TTRT.

Note that this uncovers the "shortcut" created by
commit 1f27cde313d7 ("net: sched: use pfifo_fast for non real queues")
The default child qdiscs beyond initial real_num_tx are always
pfifo_fast, no matter what the sysfs setting is. Fixing this
gets a little tricky because we'd need to keep a reference
on whatever the default qdisc was at the time of creation.
In practice this is likely an non-issue the qdiscs likely have
to be configured to non-default settings, so whatever user space
is doing such configuration can replace the pfifos... now that
it will see them.

<title>net: multicast: calculate csum of looped-back and forwarded packets</title>

[ Upstream commit 9122a70a6333705c0c35614ddc51c274ed1d3637 ]

During a testing of an user-space application which transmits UDP
multicast datagrams and utilizes multicast routing to send the UDP
datagrams out of defined network interfaces, I've found a multicast
router does not fill-in UDP checksum into locally produced, looped-back
and forwarded UDP datagrams, if an original output NIC the datagrams
are sent to has UDP TX checksum offload enabled.

The datagrams are sent malformed out of the NIC the datagrams have been
forwarded to.

It is because:

1. If TX checksum offload is enabled on the output NIC, UDP checksum
   is not calculated by kernel and is not filled into skb data.

2. dev_loopback_xmit(), which is called solely by
   ip_mc_finish_output(), sets skb-&gt;ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
   unconditionally.

3. Since 35fc92a9 ("[NET]: Allow forwarding of ip_summed except
   CHECKSUM_COMPLETE"), the ip_summed value is preserved during
   forwarding.

4. If ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, checksum is not calculated during
   a packet egress.

The minimum fix in dev_loopback_xmit():

1. Preserves skb-&gt;ip_summed CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. This is the
   case when the original output NIC has TX checksum offload enabled.
   The effects are:

     a) If the forwarding destination interface supports TX checksum
        offloading, the NIC driver is responsible to fill-in the
        checksum.

     b) If the forwarding destination interface does NOT support TX
        checksum offloading, checksums are filled-in by kernel before
        skb is submitted to the NIC driver.

     c) For local delivery, checksum validation is skipped as in the
        case of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, thanks to skb_csum_unnecessary().

2. Translates ip_summed CHECKSUM_NONE to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. It
   means, for CHECKSUM_NONE, the behavior is unmodified and is there
   to skip a looped-back packet local delivery checksum validation.
