<id>76371d2e3ad1f84426a30ebcd8c3b9b98f4c724f</id>
<content type='text'>
In the existing dn_route.c code, dn_route_output_slow() takes
dst-&gt;__refcnt before calling dn_insert_route() while dn_route_input_slow()
does not take dst-&gt;__refcnt before calling dn_insert_route().
This makes the whole routing code very buggy.
In dn_dst_check_expire(), dnrt_free() is called when rt expires. This
makes the routes inserted by dn_route_output_slow() not able to be
freed as the refcnt is not released.
In dn_dst_gc(), dnrt_drop() is called to release rt which could
potentially cause the dst-&gt;__refcnt to be dropped to -1.
In dn_run_flush(), dst_free() is called to release all the dst. Again,
it makes the dst inserted by dn_route_output_slow() not able to be
released and also, it does not wait on the rcu and could potentially
cause crash in the path where other users still refer to this dst.

This patch makes sure both input and output path do not take
dst-&gt;__refcnt before calling dn_insert_route() and also makes sure
dnrt_free()/dst_free() is called when removing dst from the hash table.
The only difference between those 2 calls is that dnrt_free() waits on
the rcu while dst_free() does not.

<title>decnet: dn_rtmsg: Improve input length sanitization in dnrmg_receive_user_skb</title>

Verify that the length of the socket buffer is sufficient to cover the
nlmsghdr structure before accessing the nlh-&gt;nlmsg_len field for further
input sanitization. If the client only supplies 1-3 bytes of data in
sk_buff, then nlh-&gt;nlmsg_len remains partially uninitialized and
contains leftover memory from the corresponding kernel allocation.
Operating on such data may result in indeterminate evaluation of the
nlmsg_len &lt; sizeof(*nlh) expression.

The bug was discovered by a runtime instrumentation designed to detect
use of uninitialized memory in the kernel. The patch prevents this and
other similar tools (e.g. KMSAN) from flagging this behavior in the future.

<title>format-security: move static strings to const</title>

<content type='text'>
While examining output from trial builds with -Wformat-security enabled,
many strings were found that should be defined as "const", or as a char
array instead of char pointer.  This makes some static analysis easier,
by producing fewer false positives.

As these are all trivial changes, it seemed best to put them all in a
single patch rather than chopping them up per maintainer.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree. A large bunch of code cleanups, simplify the conntrack extension
codebase, get rid of the fake conntrack object, speed up netns by
selective synchronize_net() calls. More specifically, they are:

1) Check for ct-&gt;status bit instead of using nfct_nat() from IPVS and
   Netfilter codebase, patch from Florian Westphal.

2) Use kcalloc() wherever possible in the IPVS code, from Varsha Rao.

3) Simplify FTP IPVS helper module registration path, from Arushi Singhal.

4) Introduce nft_is_base_chain() helper function.

5) Enforce expectation limit from userspace conntrack helper,
   from Gao Feng.

6) Add nf_ct_remove_expect() helper function, from Gao Feng.

7) NAT mangle helper function return boolean, from Gao Feng.

8) ctnetlink_alloc_expect() should only work for conntrack with
   helpers, from Gao Feng.

9) Add nfnl_msg_type() helper function to nfnetlink to build the
   netlink message type.

10) Get rid of unnecessary cast on void, from simran singhal.

11) Use seq_puts()/seq_putc() instead of seq_printf() where possible,
    also from simran singhal.

12) Use list_prev_entry() from nf_tables, from simran signhal.

13) Remove unnecessary &amp; on pointer function in the Netfilter and IPVS
    code.

14) Remove obsolete comment on set of rules per CPU in ip6_tables,
    no longer true. From Arushi Singhal.

15) Remove duplicated nf_conntrack_l4proto_udplite4, from Gao Feng.

16) Remove unnecessary nested rcu_read_lock() in
    __nf_nat_decode_session(). Code running from hooks are already
    guaranteed to run under RCU read side.

17) Remove deadcode in nf_tables_getobj(), from Aaron Conole.

18) Remove double assignment in nf_ct_l4proto_pernet_unregister_one(),
    also from Aaron.

19) Get rid of unsed __ip_set_get_netlink(), from Aaron Conole.

20) Don't propagate NF_DROP error to userspace via ctnetlink in
    __nf_nat_alloc_null_binding() function, from Gao Feng.

21) Revisit nf_ct_deliver_cached_events() to remove unnecessary checks,
    from Gao Feng.

22) Kill the fake untracked conntrack objects, use ctinfo instead to
    annotate a conntrack object is untracked, from Florian Westphal.

23) Remove nf_ct_is_untracked(), now obsolete since we have no
    conntrack template anymore, from Florian.

24) Add event mask support to nft_ct, also from Florian.

25) Move nf_conn_help structure to
    include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper.h.

26) Add a fixed 32 bytes scratchpad area for conntrack helpers.
    Thus, we don't deal with variable conntrack extensions anymore.
    Make sure userspace conntrack helper doesn't go over that size.
    Remove variable size ct extension infrastructure now this code
    got no more clients. From Florian Westphal.

27) Restore offset and length of nf_ct_ext structure to 8 bytes now
    that wraparound is not possible any longer, also from Florian.

28) Allow to get rid of unassured flows under stress in conntrack,
    this applies to DCCP, SCTP and TCP protocols, from Florian.

29) Shrink size of nf_conntrack_ecache structure, from Florian.

30) Use TCP_MAX_WSCALE instead of hardcoded 14 in TCP tracker,
    from Gao Feng.

31) Register SYNPROXY hooks on demand, from Florian Westphal.

32) Use pernet hook whenever possible, instead of global hook
    registration, from Florian Westphal.

33) Pass hook structure to ebt_register_table() to consolidate some
    infrastructure code, from Florian Westphal.

34) Use consume_skb() and return NF_STOLEN, instead of NF_DROP in the
    SYNPROXY code, to make sure device stats are not fooled, patch
    from Gao Feng.

35) Remove NF_CT_EXT_F_PREALLOC this kills quite some code that we
    don't need anymore if we just select a fixed size instead of
    expensive runtime time calculation of this. From Florian.

36) Constify nf_ct_extend_register() and nf_ct_extend_unregister(),
    from Florian.

37) Simplify nf_ct_ext_add(), this kills nf_ct_ext_create(), from
    Florian.

38) Attach NAT extension on-demand from masquerade and pptp helper
    path, from Florian.

39) Get rid of useless ip_vs_set_state_timeout(), from Aaron Conole.

40) Speed up netns by selective calls of synchronize_net(), from
    Florian Westphal.

41) Silence stack size warning gcc in 32-bit arch in snmp helper,
    from Florian.

42) Inconditionally call nf_ct_ext_destroy(), even if we have no
    extensions, to deal with the NF_NAT_MANIP_SRC case. Patch from
    Liping Zhang.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next

looks like decnet isn't namespacified in first place, so restrict hook
registration to the initial namespace.

Prepares for eventual removal of legacy nf_register_hook() api.

Add netlink_ext_ack arg to rtnl_doit_func. Pass extack arg to nlmsg_parse
for doit functions that call it directly.

This is the first step to using extended error reporting in rtnetlink.
&gt;From here individual subsystems can be updated to set netlink_ext_ack as
needed.
