commit d163a925ebbc6eb5b562b0f1d72c7e817aa75c40 upstream.

Same problem that also existed in iptables/ip(6)tables, when
arptable_filter is removed there is no longer a wait period before the
table/ruleset is free'd.

Unregister the hook in pre_exit, then remove the table in the exit
function.
This used to work correctly because the old nf_hook_unregister API
did unconditional synchronize_net.

The per-net hook unregister function uses call_rcu instead.

commit b29c457a6511435960115c0f548c4360d5f4801d upstream.

xt_compat_match/target_from_user doesn't check that zeroing the area
to start of next rule won't write past end of allocated ruleset blob.

Remove this code and zero the entire blob beforehand.

[ Upstream commit abe7034b9a8d57737e80cc16d60ed3666990bdbf ]

This reverts commit 443d6e86f821a165fae3fc3fc13086d27ac140b1.

This (and the following) patch basically re-implemented the RCU
mechanisms of patch 784544739a25. That patch was replaced because of the
performance problems that it created when replacing tables. Now, we have
the same issue: the call to synchronize_rcu() makes replacing tables
slower by as much as an order of magnitude.

Revert these patches and fix the issue in a different way.

<title>netfilter: rpfilter: mask ecn bits before fib lookup</title>

commit 2e5a6266fbb11ae93c468dfecab169aca9c27b43 upstream.

RT_TOS() only masks one of the two ECN bits. Therefore rpfilter_mt()
treats Not-ECT or ECT(1) packets in a different way than those with
ECT(0) or CE.

Reproducer:

  Create two netns, connected with a veth:
  $ ip netns add ns0
  $ ip netns add ns1
  $ ip link add name veth01 netns ns0 type veth peer name veth10 netns ns1
  $ ip -netns ns0 link set dev veth01 up
  $ ip -netns ns1 link set dev veth10 up
  $ ip -netns ns0 address add 192.0.2.10/32 dev veth01
  $ ip -netns ns1 address add 192.0.2.11/32 dev veth10

  Add a route to ns1 in ns0:
  $ ip -netns ns0 route add 192.0.2.11/32 dev veth01

  In ns1, only packets with TOS 4 can be routed to ns0:
  $ ip -netns ns1 route add 192.0.2.10/32 tos 4 dev veth10

  Ping from ns0 to ns1 works regardless of the ECN bits, as long as TOS
  is 4:
  $ ip netns exec ns0 ping -Q 4 192.0.2.11   # TOS 4, Not-ECT
    ... 0% packet loss ...
  $ ip netns exec ns0 ping -Q 5 192.0.2.11   # TOS 4, ECT(1)
    ... 0% packet loss ...
  $ ip netns exec ns0 ping -Q 6 192.0.2.11   # TOS 4, ECT(0)
    ... 0% packet loss ...
  $ ip netns exec ns0 ping -Q 7 192.0.2.11   # TOS 4, CE
    ... 0% packet loss ...

  Now use iptable's rpfilter module in ns1:
  $ ip netns exec ns1 iptables-legacy -t raw -A PREROUTING -m rpfilter --invert -j DROP

  Not-ECT and ECT(1) packets still pass:
  $ ip netns exec ns0 ping -Q 4 192.0.2.11   # TOS 4, Not-ECT
    ... 0% packet loss ...
  $ ip netns exec ns0 ping -Q 5 192.0.2.11   # TOS 4, ECT(1)
    ... 0% packet loss ...

  But ECT(0) and ECN packets are dropped:
  $ ip netns exec ns0 ping -Q 6 192.0.2.11   # TOS 4, ECT(0)
    ... 100% packet loss ...
  $ ip netns exec ns0 ping -Q 7 192.0.2.11   # TOS 4, CE
    ... 100% packet loss ...

After this patch, rpfilter doesn't drop ECT(0) and CE packets anymore.

[ Upstream commit cc00bcaa589914096edef7fb87ca5cee4a166b5c ]

When running concurrent iptables rules replacement with data, the per CPU
sequence count is checked after the assignment of the new information.
The sequence count is used to synchronize with the packet path without the
use of any explicit locking. If there are any packets in the packet path using
the table information, the sequence count is incremented to an odd value and
is incremented to an even after the packet process completion.

The new table value assignment is followed by a write memory barrier so every
CPU should see the latest value. If the packet path has started with the old
table information, the sequence counter will be odd and the iptables
replacement will wait till the sequence count is even prior to freeing the
old table info.

However, this assumes that the new table information assignment and the memory
barrier is actually executed prior to the counter check in the replacement
thread. If CPU decides to execute the assignment later as there is no user of
the table information prior to the sequence check, the packet path in another
CPU may use the old table information. The replacement thread would then free
the table information under it leading to a use after free in the packet
processing context-

This could be fixed by forcing instruction order after the new table

This could be fixed by forcing instruction order after the new table
information assignment or by switching to RCU for the synchronization.

<title>netfilter: use actual socket sk rather than skb sk when routing harder</title>

[ Upstream commit 46d6c5ae953cc0be38efd0e469284df7c4328cf8 ]

If netfilter changes the packet mark when mangling, the packet is
rerouted using the route_me_harder set of functions. Prior to this
commit, there's one big difference between route_me_harder and the
ordinary initial routing functions, described in the comment above
__ip_queue_xmit():

   /* Note: skb-&gt;sk can be different from sk, in case of tunnels */
   int __ip_queue_xmit(struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb, struct flowi *fl,

That function goes on to correctly make use of sk-&gt;sk_bound_dev_if,
rather than skb-&gt;sk-&gt;sk_bound_dev_if. And indeed the comment is true: a
tunnel will receive a packet in ndo_start_xmit with an initial skb-&gt;sk.
It will make some transformations to that packet, and then it will send
the encapsulated packet out of a *new* socket. That new socket will
basically always have a different sk_bound_dev_if (otherwise there'd be
a routing loop). So for the purposes of routing the encapsulated packet,
the routing information as it pertains to the socket should come from
that socket's sk, rather than the packet's original skb-&gt;sk. For that
reason __ip_queue_xmit() and related functions all do the right thing.

One might argue that all tunnels should just call skb_orphan(skb) before
transmitting the encapsulated packet into the new socket. But tunnels do
*not* do this -- and this is wisely avoided in skb_scrub_packet() too --
because features like TSQ rely on skb-&gt;destructor() being called when
that buffer space is truely available again. Calling skb_orphan(skb) too
early would result in buffers filling up unnecessarily and accounting
info being all wrong. Instead, additional routing must take into account
the new sk, just as __ip_queue_xmit() notes.

So, this commit addresses the problem by fishing the correct sk out of
state-&gt;sk -- it's already set properly in the call to nf_hook() in
__ip_local_out(), which receives the sk as part of its normal
functionality. So we make sure to plumb state-&gt;sk through the various
route_me_harder functions, and then make correct use of it following the
example of __ip_queue_xmit().

[ Upstream commit 0d9826bc18ce356e8909919ad681ad65d0a6061e ]

Dump vlan tag and proto for the usual vlan offload case if the
NF_LOG_MACDECODE flag is set on. Without this information the logging is
misleading as there is no reference to the VLAN header.

commit 4c559f15efcc43b996f4da528cd7f9483aaca36d upstream.

Dan Carpenter says: "Smatch complains that the value for "cmd" comes
from the network and can't be trusted."

Add pptp_msg_name() helper function that checks for the array boundary.
