[ Upstream commit e3af3d3c5b26c33a7950e34e137584f6056c4319 ]

dev-&gt;ip_ptr could be NULL if we set an invalid MTU.

Even then, if we issue ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR) for a new IPv4 address,
devinet_ioctl() allocates struct in_ifaddr and fails later in
inet_set_ifa() because in_dev is NULL.

Let's move the check earlier.

<title>inet: protect against too small mtu values.</title>

[ Upstream commit 501a90c945103e8627406763dac418f20f3837b2 ]

syzbot was once again able to crash a host by setting a very small mtu
on loopback device.

Let's make inetdev_valid_mtu() available in include/net/ip.h,
and use it in ip_setup_cork(), so that we protect both ip_append_page()
and __ip_append_data()

Also add a READ_ONCE() when the device mtu is read.

Pairs this lockless read with one WRITE_ONCE() in __dev_set_mtu(),
even if other code paths might write over this field.

Add a big comment in include/linux/netdevice.h about dev-&gt;mtu
needing READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations.

Hopefully we will add the missing ones in followup patches.

<title>ipv4: don't set IPv6 only flags to IPv4 addresses</title>

[ Upstream commit 2e60546368165c2449564d71f6005dda9205b5fb ]

Avoid the situation where an IPV6 only flag is applied to an IPv4 address:

    # ip addr add 192.0.2.1/24 dev dummy0 nodad home mngtmpaddr noprefixroute
    # ip -4 addr show dev dummy0
    2: dummy0: &lt;BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
        inet 192.0.2.1/24 scope global noprefixroute dummy0
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Or worse, by sending a malicious netlink command:

    # ip -4 addr show dev dummy0
    2: dummy0: &lt;BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
        inet 192.0.2.1/24 scope global nodad optimistic dadfailed home tentative mngtmpaddr noprefixroute stable-privacy dummy0
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

<title>route: add support for directed broadcast forwarding</title>

<id>5cbf777cfdf6e5a7b7149006e4881a255da78fdd</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch implements the feature described in rfc1812#section-5.3.5.2
and rfc2644. It allows the router to forward directed broadcast when
sysctl bc_forwarding is enabled.

Note that this feature could be done by iptables -j TEE, but it would
cause some problems:
  - target TEE's gateway param has to be set with a specific address,
    and it's not flexible especially when the route wants forward all
    directed broadcasts.
  - this duplicates the directed broadcasts so this may cause side
    effects to applications.

Besides, to keep consistent with other os router like BSD, it's also
necessary to implement it in the route rx path.

Note that route cache needs to be flushed when bc_forwarding is
changed.

Add support for IFA_RT_PRIORITY to ipv4 addresses.

If the metric is changed on an existing address then the new route
is inserted before removing the old one. Since the metric is one
of the route keys, the prefix route can not be replaced.

<title>ipv4: Get the address of interface correctly.</title>

When using ioctl to get address of interface, we can't
get it anymore. For example, the command is show as below.

	# ifconfig eth0

In the patch ("03aef17bb79b3"), the devinet_ioctl does not
return a suitable value, even though we can find it in
the kernel. Then fix it now.
