<title>net: openvswitch: fix race on port output</title>

<id>9b0dd09c1ceb35950d2884848099fccc9ec9a123</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 066b86787fa3d97b7aefb5ac0a99a22dad2d15f8 upstream.

assume the following setup on a single machine:
1. An openvswitch instance with one bridge and default flows
2. two network namespaces "server" and "client"
3. two ovs interfaces "server" and "client" on the bridge
4. for each ovs interface a veth pair with a matching name and 32 rx and
   tx queues
5. move the ends of the veth pairs to the respective network namespaces
6. assign ip addresses to each of the veth ends in the namespaces (needs
   to be the same subnet)
7. start some http server on the server network namespace
8. test if a client in the client namespace can reach the http server

when following the actions below the host has a chance of getting a cpu
stuck in a infinite loop:
1. send a large amount of parallel requests to the http server (around
   3000 curls should work)
2. in parallel delete the network namespace (do not delete interfaces or
   stop the server, just kill the namespace)

there is a low chance that this will cause the below kernel cpu stuck
message. If this does not happen just retry.
Below there is also the output of bpftrace for the functions mentioned
in the output.

The series of events happening here is:
1. the network namespace is deleted calling
   `unregister_netdevice_many_notify` somewhere in the process
2. this sets first `NETREG_UNREGISTERING` on both ends of the veth and
   then runs `synchronize_net`
3. it then calls `call_netdevice_notifiers` with `NETDEV_UNREGISTER`
4. this is then handled by `dp_device_event` which calls
   `ovs_netdev_detach_dev` (if a vport is found, which is the case for
   the veth interface attached to ovs)
5. this removes the rx_handlers of the device but does not prevent
   packages to be sent to the device
6. `dp_device_event` then queues the vport deletion to work in
   background as a ovs_lock is needed that we do not hold in the
   unregistration path
7. `unregister_netdevice_many_notify` continues to call
   `netdev_unregister_kobject` which sets `real_num_tx_queues` to 0
8. port deletion continues (but details are not relevant for this issue)
9. at some future point the background task deletes the vport

If after 7. but before 9. a packet is send to the ovs vport (which is
not deleted at this point in time) which forwards it to the
`dev_queue_xmit` flow even though the device is unregistering.
In `skb_tx_hash` (which is called in the `dev_queue_xmit`) path there is
a while loop (if the packet has a rx_queue recorded) that is infinite if
`dev-&gt;real_num_tx_queues` is zero.

To prevent this from happening we update `do_output` to handle devices
without carrier the same as if the device is not found (which would
be the code path after 9. is done).

Additionally we now produce a warning in `skb_tx_hash` if we will hit
the infinite loop.

commit 066b86787fa3d97b7aefb5ac0a99a22dad2d15f8 upstream.

assume the following setup on a single machine:
1. An openvswitch instance with one bridge and default flows
2. two network namespaces "server" and "client"
3. two ovs interfaces "server" and "client" on the bridge
4. for each ovs interface a veth pair with a matching name and 32 rx and
   tx queues
5. move the ends of the veth pairs to the respective network namespaces
6. assign ip addresses to each of the veth ends in the namespaces (needs
   to be the same subnet)
7. start some http server on the server network namespace
8. test if a client in the client namespace can reach the http server

when following the actions below the host has a chance of getting a cpu
stuck in a infinite loop:
1. send a large amount of parallel requests to the http server (around
   3000 curls should work)
2. in parallel delete the network namespace (do not delete interfaces or
   stop the server, just kill the namespace)

there is a low chance that this will cause the below kernel cpu stuck
message. If this does not happen just retry.
Below there is also the output of bpftrace for the functions mentioned
in the output.

The series of events happening here is:
1. the network namespace is deleted calling
   `unregister_netdevice_many_notify` somewhere in the process
2. this sets first `NETREG_UNREGISTERING` on both ends of the veth and
   then runs `synchronize_net`
3. it then calls `call_netdevice_notifiers` with `NETDEV_UNREGISTER`
4. this is then handled by `dp_device_event` which calls
   `ovs_netdev_detach_dev` (if a vport is found, which is the case for
   the veth interface attached to ovs)
5. this removes the rx_handlers of the device but does not prevent
   packages to be sent to the device
6. `dp_device_event` then queues the vport deletion to work in
   background as a ovs_lock is needed that we do not hold in the
   unregistration path
7. `unregister_netdevice_many_notify` continues to call
   `netdev_unregister_kobject` which sets `real_num_tx_queues` to 0
8. port deletion continues (but details are not relevant for this issue)
9. at some future point the background task deletes the vport

If after 7. but before 9. a packet is send to the ovs vport (which is
not deleted at this point in time) which forwards it to the
`dev_queue_xmit` flow even though the device is unregistering.
In `skb_tx_hash` (which is called in the `dev_queue_xmit`) path there is
a while loop (if the packet has a rx_queue recorded) that is infinite if
`dev-&gt;real_num_tx_queues` is zero.

To prevent this from happening we update `do_output` to handle devices
without carrier the same as if the device is not found (which would
be the code path after 9. is done).

Additionally we now produce a warning in `skb_tx_hash` if we will hit
the infinite loop.

[ Upstream commit d4bac0288a2b444e468e6df9cb4ed69479ddf14a ]

Classic BPF socket filters with SKB_NET_OFF and SKB_LL_OFF fail to
read when these offsets extend into frags.

This has been observed with iwlwifi and reproduced with tun with
IFF_NAPI_FRAGS. The below straightforward socket filter on UDP port,
applied to a RAW socket, will silently miss matching packets.

    const int offset_proto = offsetof(struct ip6_hdr, ip6_nxt);
    const int offset_dport = sizeof(struct ip6_hdr) + offsetof(struct udphdr, dest);
    struct sock_filter filter_code[] = {
            BPF_STMT(BPF_LD  + BPF_B   + BPF_ABS, SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_PKTTYPE),
            BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP + BPF_JEQ + BPF_K, PACKET_HOST, 0, 4),
            BPF_STMT(BPF_LD  + BPF_B   + BPF_ABS, SKF_NET_OFF + offset_proto),
            BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP + BPF_JEQ + BPF_K, IPPROTO_UDP, 0, 2),
            BPF_STMT(BPF_LD  + BPF_H   + BPF_ABS, SKF_NET_OFF + offset_dport),

This is unexpected behavior. Socket filter programs should be
consistent regardless of environment. Silent misses are
particularly concerning as hard to detect.

Use skb_copy_bits for offsets outside linear, same as done for
non-SKF_(LL|NET) offsets.

Offset is always positive after subtracting the reference threshold
SKB_(LL|NET)_OFF, so is always &gt;= skb_(mac|network)_offset. The sum of
the two is an offset against skb-&gt;data, and may be negative, but it
cannot point before skb-&gt;head, as skb_(mac|network)_offset would too.

This appears to go back to when frag support was introduced to
sk_run_filter in linux-2.4.4, before the introduction of git.

The amount of code change and 8/16/32 bit duplication are unfortunate.
But any attempt I made to be smarter saved very few LoC while
complicating the code.

[ Upstream commit 96a233e600df351bcb06e3c20efe048855552926 ]

A couple of the syscalls which load values (bpf_skb_load_helper_16() and
bpf_skb_load_helper_32()) are using u16/u32 types which are triggering
warnings as they are then converted from big-endian to CPU-endian. Fix
these by making the types __be instead.

Fixes the following sparse warnings:

  net/core/filter.c:246:32: warning: cast to restricted __be16
  net/core/filter.c:246:32: warning: cast to restricted __be16
  net/core/filter.c:246:32: warning: cast to restricted __be16

<title>page_pool: avoid infinite loop to schedule delayed worker</title>

[ Upstream commit 43130d02baa137033c25297aaae95fd0edc41654 ]

We noticed the kworker in page_pool_release_retry() was waken
up repeatedly and infinitely in production because of the
buggy driver causing the inflight less than 0 and warning
us in page_pool_inflight()[1].

Since the inflight value goes negative, it means we should
not expect the whole page_pool to get back to work normally.

This patch mitigates the adverse effect by not rescheduling
the kworker when detecting the inflight negative in
page_pool_release_retry().

[ Upstream commit 90a7138619a0c55e2aefaad27b12ffc2ddbeed78 ]

Previous commit 8b5c171bb3dc ("neigh: new unresolved queue limits")
introduces new netlink attribute NDTPA_QUEUE_LENBYTES to represent
approximative value for deprecated QUEUE_LEN. However, it forgot to add
the associated nla_policy in nl_ntbl_parm_policy array. Fix it with one
simple NLA_U32 type policy.

[ Upstream commit 505ead7ab77f289f12d8a68ac83da068e4d4408b ]

The function __netpoll_send_skb() is being invoked without holding the
RCU read lock. This oversight triggers a warning message when
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST is enabled:

	net/core/netpoll.c:330 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

	 netpoll_send_skb
	 netpoll_send_udp
	 write_ext_msg
	 console_flush_all
	 console_unlock
	 vprintk_emit

To prevent npinfo from disappearing unexpectedly, ensure that
__netpoll_send_skb() is protected with the RCU read lock.
