commit e1a7ac6f3ba6e157adcd0ca94d92a401f1943f56 upstream.

When ping_group_range is updated, 'ping' uses the DGRAM ICMP socket,
instead of an IP raw socket. In this case, 'ping' is unable to bind its
socket to a local address owned by a vrflite.

Before the patch:
$ sysctl -w net.ipv4.ping_group_range='0  2147483647'
$ ip link add blue type vrf table 10
$ ip link add foo type dummy
$ ip link set foo master blue
$ ip link set foo up
$ ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev foo
$ ip addr add 2001::1/64 dev foo
$ ip vrf exec blue ping -c1 -I 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2
ping: bind: Cannot assign requested address
$ ip vrf exec blue ping6 -c1 -I 2001::1 2001::2
ping6: bind icmp socket: Cannot assign requested address

commit cd33bdcbead882c2e58fdb4a54a7bd75b610a452 upstream.

As Jakub noticed, prints should be avoided on the datapath.
Also, as packets would never come to the else branch in
ping_lookup(), remove pr_err() from ping_lookup().

commit 35a79e64de29e8d57a5989aac57611c0cd29e13e upstream.

When 'ping' changes to use PING socket instead of RAW socket by:

   # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ping_group_range="0 100"

There is another regression caused when matching sk_bound_dev_if
and dif, RAW socket is using inet_iif() while PING socket lookup
is using skb-&gt;dev-&gt;ifindex, the cmd below fails due to this:

  # ip link add dummy0 type dummy
  # ip link set dummy0 up
  # ip addr add 192.168.111.1/24 dev dummy0
  # ping -I dummy0 192.168.111.1 -c1

The issue was also reported on:

  https://github.com/iputils/iputils/issues/104

But fixed in iputils in a wrong way by not binding to device when
destination IP is on device, and it will cause some of kselftests
to fail, as Jianlin noticed.

This patch is to use inet(6)_iif and inet(6)_sdif to get dif and
sdif for PING socket, and keep consistent with RAW socket.

commit 2afc3b5a31f9edf3ef0f374f5d70610c79c93a42 upstream.

When 'ping' changes to use PING socket instead of RAW socket by:

   # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ping_group_range="0 100"

the selftests 'router_broadcast.sh' will fail, as such command

  # ip vrf exec vrf-h1 ping -I veth0 198.51.100.255 -b

can't receive the response skb by the PING socket. It's caused by mismatch
of sk_bound_dev_if and dif in ping_rcv() when looking up the PING socket,
as dif is vrf-h1 if dif's master was set to vrf-h1.

This patch is to fix this regression by also checking the sk_bound_dev_if
against sdif so that the packets can stil be received even if the socket
is not bound to the vrf device but to the real iif.

[ Upstream commit 5eff06902394425c722f0a44d9545909a8800f79 ]

IPv4 ping sockets don't set fl4.fl4_icmp_{type,code}, which leads to
incomplete IPsec ACQUIRE messages being sent to userspace. Currently,
both raw sockets and IPv6 ping sockets set those fields.

Expected output of "ip xfrm monitor":
    acquire proto esp
      sel src 10.0.2.15/32 dst 8.8.8.8/32 proto icmp type 8 code 0 dev ens4
      policy src 10.0.2.15/32 dst 8.8.8.8/32
        &lt;snip&gt;

Currently with ping sockets:
    acquire proto esp
      sel src 10.0.2.15/32 dst 8.8.8.8/32 proto icmp type 0 code 0 dev ens4
      policy src 10.0.2.15/32 dst 8.8.8.8/32
        &lt;snip&gt;

The Libreswan test suite found this problem after Fedora changed the
value for the sysctl net.ipv4.ping_group_range.

<content type='text'>
Enable setting skb-&gt;mark for UDP and RAW sockets using cmsg.

This is analogous to existing support for TOS, TTL, txtime, etc.

Packet sockets already support this as of commit c7d39e32632e
("packet: support per-packet fwmark for af_packet sendmsg").

Similar to other fields, implement by
1. initialize the sockcm_cookie.mark from socket option sk_mark
2. optionally overwrite this in ip_cmsg_send/ip6_datagram_send_ctl
3. initialize inet_cork.mark from sockcm_cookie.mark
4. initialize each (usually just one) skb-&gt;mark from inet_cork.mark

Step 1 is handled in one location for most protocols by ipcm_init_sk
as of commit 351782067b6b ("ipv4: ipcm_cookie initializers").

Currently, procfs socket stats format sk_drops as a signed int (%d). For large
values this will cause a negative number to be printed.

We know the drop count can never be a negative so change the format specifier to
%u.

It is useful to be able to use the same socket for listening in a
specific VRF, as for sending multicast packets out of a specific
interface. However, the bound device on the socket currently takes
precedence and results in the packets not being sent.

Relax the condition on overriding the output interface to use for
sending packets out of UDP, raw and ping sockets to allow multicast
packets to be sent using the specified multicast interface.
