commit e48e8edbef2eb824201495daa5234560f632b23c upstream.

xdpf_clone() clones broadcast copies into a single page and sets
frame_sz to PAGE_SIZE. __xdp_build_skb_from_frame() later treats that
page like a normal XDP frame and expects the usual skb_shared_info
tailroom at the end of the buffer.

The current check only rejects frames whose linear xdp_frame header,
headroom, and packet data exceed PAGE_SIZE. A source frame backed by a
larger allocation can still satisfy that check while extending into the
clone's required shared-info area. When such a clone is converted back
into an skb, build_skb_around() places skb_shared_info over live packet
bytes and later writes can corrupt XDP return metadata.

Reject clones unless their linear area fits inside
SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD(PAGE_SIZE), matching the tailroom requirement already
enforced by the XDP-to-skb conversion path.

We should either have net_iov or page backed frags in a single skb,
otherwise it blows up down the stack. Don't allow mixing in
zerocopy_fill_skb_from_devmem().

<title>net: fix skb length accounting after generic XDP frag adjustment</title>

commit 33f2b2eb33d666ecac68031e0f31424fb70528db upstream.

Generic XDP exposes non-linear skb fragments through an xdp_buff. If an
XDP program adjusts the fragment area, bpf_prog_run_generic_xdp() copies
xdp_frags_size back to skb-&gt;data_len but leaves skb-&gt;len containing the
old fragment contribution.

After a fragment shrink, this makes skb_headlen() larger than the actual
linear area. In the reproduced UDP receive path, __skb_datagram_iter()
copied 1024 bytes past the actual linear tail to userspace, starting at
struct skb_shared_info. The copied bytes included the affected skb's
nr_frags, xdp_frags_size and a kernel pointer from
skb_shinfo(skb)-&gt;frags[0]. Real packet data was displaced by the same
amount and truncated at the end.

Subtract the old data_len before replacing it and add the new data_len
afterwards, keeping skb-&gt;len and skb-&gt;data_len synchronized.

A 60000-byte UDP datagram on a veth pair with MTU 64000 was shortened by
1024 bytes from its fragment area. Before the fix, all 10 runs produced
corrupted payloads. After the fix, all 10 runs matched the expected
payload exactly.

[ Upstream commit b8a39a09ae4eaae04309e1e38ed6a1101d967496 ]

sk_mc_loop() can be called for sockets that are neither AF_INET
nor AF_INET6 (e.g. AF_PACKET sockets when sending packets via raw/packet
socket over virtual devices such as VRF or ipvlan).

In such cases, sk_family is not AF_INET/AF_INET6 and sk_mc_loop() falls
through the switch statement and triggers WARN_ON_ONCE(1).

Non-INET sockets do not support IP_MULTICAST_LOOP or IPV6_MULTICAST_LOOP
options, so loopback should default to true without generating a warning.

[ Upstream commit c0b709bf438ba9d197d369f55e4a97603fd4a705 ]

Allow memory providers to configure rx queues with a custom receive
page size. It's passed in struct pp_memory_provider_params, which is
copied into the queue, so it's preserved across queue restarts. Then,
it's propagated to the driver in a new queue config parameter.

Drivers should explicitly opt into using it by setting
QCFG_RX_PAGE_SIZE, in which case they should implement ndo_default_qcfg,
validate the size on queue restart and honour the current config in case
of a reset.

We'll need to pass extra parameters when allocating a queue for memory
providers. Define a new structure for queue configurations, and pass it
to qapi callbacks. It's empty for now, actual parameters will be added
in following patches.

Configurations should persist across resets, and for that they're
default-initialised on device registration and stored in struct
netdev_rx_queue. We also add a new qapi callback for defaulting a given
config. It must be implemented if a driver wants to use queue configs
and is optional otherwise.

commit d0d6415963040c401e7a7e4e482a698ba52448cb upstream.

A frag_list skb can reach veth with data_len set but nr_frags zero.
veth_convert_skb_to_xdp_buff() only converts skbs that are shared,
locked, have frags[], or do not have enough headroom. It later uses
skb_is_nonlinear() to decide whether to set XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS and
xdp_frags_size.

That exposes frag_list data to XDP as if it were stored in frags[], but
frags[] is empty. AF_XDP copy mode can then trust the bogus XDP fragment
metadata, walk an empty fragment entry, and crash in memcpy() from
__xsk_rcv().

Route non-linear skbs through skb_pp_cow_data() before exposing them to
XDP, and only advertise XDP frags when the resulting skb has frags[].
skb_copy_bits() already handles frag_list input, and skb_pp_cow_data()
builds frags[] output with skb_add_rx_frag(), which is the
representation XDP multi-buffer expects.

commit 817ff6efdb7f484ea547218e11e17d8e43daa3b4 upstream.

pktgen_change_name() replaces pkt_dev-&gt;entry while holding t-&gt;if_lock.
pktgen_remove_device() removes the same entry before
_rem_dev_from_if_list() takes that lock.

This allows the following interleaving:

  CPU 0 (NETDEV_CHANGENAME)       CPU 1 (kpktgend)
  if_lock(t)
  proc_remove(pkt_dev-&gt;entry)
                                  proc_remove(pkt_dev-&gt;entry)
  pkt_dev-&gt;entry = proc_create_data(...)
  if_unlock(t)

The kthread can pass the stale proc_dir_entry to proc_remove() after the
rename path has freed it. A reproducer with a widened race window reports:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in proc_remove+0x78/0x80

Move proc_remove() into the if_lock-protected list removal helper. Keep it
before list_del_rcu() to preserve the ordering required by add_device().
The rename path must then finish replacing the entry before removal, or
it observes that the device is no longer on the list.

commit 88c17de85ddb459c3fe1e3c65d61fa366b1cf0a8 upstream.

bpf_lwt_xmit_reroute() obtains a referenced dst from the route
lookup. When skb_cow_head() fails before that dst is installed on the
skb, the error path only frees the skb. The skb still owns its previous
dst, so the newly looked up dst reference is leaked.

Release the new dst reference before freeing the skb on this error
path.

<title>bpf: Fix same-register dst/src OOB read and pointer leak in sock_ops</title>

[ Upstream commit 10f86a2a5c91fc4c4d001960f1c21abe52545ef6 ]

When a BPF sock_ops program accesses ctx fields with dst_reg == src_reg,
the SOCK_OPS_GET_SK() and SOCK_OPS_GET_FIELD() macros fail to zero the
destination register in the !fullsock / !locked_tcp_sock path.

Both macros borrow a temporary register to check is_fullsock /
is_locked_tcp_sock when dst_reg == src_reg, because dst_reg holds the
ctx pointer. When the check is false (e.g., TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV state with
a request_sock), dst_reg should be zeroed but is not, leaving the stale
ctx pointer:

 - SOCK_OPS_GET_SK: dst_reg retains the ctx pointer, passes NULL checks
   as PTR_TO_SOCKET_OR_NULL, and can be used as a bogus socket pointer,
   leading to stack-out-of-bounds access in helpers like
   bpf_skc_to_tcp6_sock().

 - SOCK_OPS_GET_FIELD: dst_reg retains the ctx pointer which the
   verifier believes is a SCALAR_VALUE, leaking a kernel pointer.

Fix both macros by:
 - Changing JMP_A(1) to JMP_A(2) in the fullsock path to skip the
   added instruction.
 - Adding BPF_MOV64_IMM(si-&gt;dst_reg, 0) after the temp register
   restore in the !fullsock path, placed after the restore because
   dst_reg == src_reg means we need src_reg intact to read ctx-&gt;temp.

Fixes: 84f44df664e9 ("bpf: sock_ops sk access may stomp registers when dst_reg = src_reg")
