[ Upstream commit 8d21e9963bec1aad2280cdd034c8993033ef2948 ]

GRE with TUNNEL_CSUM will apply local checksum offload on
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL packets.

ipgre_xmit must validate csum_start after an optional skb_pull,
else lco_csum may trigger an overflow. The original check was

	if (csum &amp;&amp; skb_checksum_start(skb) &lt; skb-&gt;data)
		return -EINVAL;

This had false positives when skb_checksum_start is undefined:
when ip_summed is not CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. A discussed refinement
was straightforward

	if (csum &amp;&amp; skb-&gt;ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL &amp;&amp;
	    skb_checksum_start(skb) &lt; skb-&gt;data)
		return -EINVAL;

But was eventually revised more thoroughly:
- restrict the check to the only branch where needed, in an
  uncommon GRE path that uses header_ops and calls skb_pull.
- test skb_transport_header, which is set along with csum_start
  in skb_partial_csum_set in the normal header_ops datapath.

Turns out skbs can arrive in this branch without the transport
header set, e.g., through BPF redirection.

Revise the check back to check csum_start directly, and only if
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. Do leave the check in the updated location.
Check field regardless of whether TUNNEL_CSUM is configured.

<title>ip_gre, ip6_gre: Fix race condition on o_seqno in collect_md mode</title>

[ Upstream commit 31c417c948d7f6909cb63f0ac3298f3c38f8ce20 ]

As pointed out by Jakub Kicinski, currently using TUNNEL_SEQ in
collect_md mode is racy for [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices.  Consider the
following sequence of events:

1. An [IP6]GRE[TAP] device is created in collect_md mode using "ip link
   add ... external".  "ip" ignores "[o]seq" if "external" is specified,
   so TUNNEL_SEQ is off, and the device is marked as NETIF_F_LLTX (i.e.
   it uses lockless TX);
2. Someone sets TUNNEL_SEQ on outgoing skb's, using e.g.
   bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key() in an eBPF program attached to this device;
3. gre_fb_xmit() or __gre6_xmit() processes these skb's:

	gre_build_header(skb, tun_hlen,
			 flags, protocol,
			 tunnel_id_to_key32(tun_info-&gt;key.tun_id),
			 (flags &amp; TUNNEL_SEQ) ? htonl(tunnel-&gt;o_seqno++)
					      : 0);   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Since we are not using the TX lock (&amp;txq-&gt;_xmit_lock), multiple CPUs may
try to do this tunnel-&gt;o_seqno++ in parallel, which is racy.  Fix it by
making o_seqno atomic_t.

As mentioned by Eric Dumazet in commit b790e01aee74 ("ip_gre: lockless
xmit"), making o_seqno atomic_t increases "chance for packets being out
of order at receiver" when NETIF_F_LLTX is on.

Maybe a better fix would be:

1. Do not ignore "oseq" in external mode.  Users MUST specify "oseq" if
   they want the kernel to allow sequencing of outgoing packets;
2. Reject all outgoing TUNNEL_SEQ packets if the device was not created
   with "oseq".

Unfortunately, that would break userspace.

We could now make [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices always NETIF_F_LLTX, but let us
do it in separate patches to keep this fix minimal.

[ Upstream commit ff827beb706ed719c766acf36449801ded0c17fc ]

For GRE and GRETAP devices, currently o_seqno starts from 1 in native
mode.  According to RFC 2890 2.2., "The first datagram is sent with a
sequence number of 0."  Fix it.

It is worth mentioning that o_seqno already starts from 0 in collect_md
mode, see gre_fb_xmit(), where tunnel-&gt;o_seqno is passed to
gre_build_header() before getting incremented.

have the last ECN bit set, which will interfere with the route lookup
process as ip_route_output_key_hash() interpretes this bit specially

The GRE tunnel device can pull existing outer headers in ipge_xmit.
This is a rare path, apparently unique to this device. The below
commit ensured that pulling does not move skb-&gt;data beyond csum_start.

But it has a false positive if ip_summed is not CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and
thus csum_start is irrelevant.

Refine to exclude this. At the same time simplify and strengthen the
test.

Simplify, by moving the check next to the offending pull, making it
more self documenting and removing an unnecessary branch from other
code paths.

Strengthen, by also ensuring that the transport header is correct and
therefore the inner headers will be after skb_reset_inner_headers.
The transport header is set to csum_start in skb_partial_csum_set.

The various ipv4 and ipv6 tunnel drivers each implement a set
of 12 SIOCDEVPRIVATE commands for managing tunnels. These
all work correctly in compat mode.

Move them over to the new .ndo_siocdevprivate operation.

The various ipv4 and ipv6 tunnel drivers each implement a set
of 12 SIOCDEVPRIVATE commands for managing tunnels. These
all work correctly in compat mode.

Move them over to the new .ndo_siocdevprivate operation.

<title>gre: let mac_header point to outer header only when necessary</title>

Commit e271c7b4420d ("gre: do not keep the GRE header around in collect
medata mode") did reset the mac_header for the collect_md case. Let's
extend this behaviour to classical gre devices as well.

ipgre_header_parse() seems to be the only case that requires mac_header
to point to the outer header. We can detect this case accurately by
checking -&gt;header_ops. For all other cases, we can reset mac_header.

This allows to push an Ethernet header to ipgre packets and redirect
them to an Ethernet device:

  $ tc filter add dev gre0 ingress matchall          \
      action vlan push_eth dst_mac 00:00:5e:00:53:01 \
                           src_mac 00:00:5e:00:53:00 \
      action mirred egress redirect dev eth0

Before this patch, this worked only for collect_md gre devices.
Now this works for regular gre devices as well. Only the special case
of gre devices that use ipgre_header_ops isn't supported.
