[ Upstream commit 86f4c90a1c5c1493f07f2d12c1079f5bf01936f2 ]

raw_send_hdrinc() and rawv6_send_hdrinc() expect that the buffer copied
from the userspace contains the IPv4/IPv6 header, so if too few bytes are
copied, parts of the header may remain uninitialized.

This bug has been detected with KMSAN.

For the record, the KMSAN report:

[ Upstream commit 919483096bfe75dda338e98d56da91a263746a0a ]

Dmitry reported memory leaks of IP options allocated in
ip_cmsg_send() when/if this function returns an error.

Callers are responsible for the freeing.

Many thanks to Dmitry for the report and diagnostic.

<title>net: Propagate lookup failure in l3mdev_get_saddr to caller</title>

Commands run in a vrf context are not failing as expected on a route lookup:
    root@kenny:~# ip ro ls table vrf-red
    unreachable default

    root@kenny:~# ping -I vrf-red -c1 -w1 10.100.1.254
    ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than vrf-red.
    PING 10.100.1.254 (10.100.1.254) from 0.0.0.0 vrf-red: 56(84) bytes of data.

    --- 10.100.1.254 ping statistics ---
    2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 999ms

Since the vrf table does not have a route for 10.100.1.254 the ping
should have failed. The saddr lookup causes a full VRF table lookup.
Propogating a lookup failure to the user allows the command to fail as
expected:

    root@kenny:~# ping -I vrf-red -c1 -w1 10.100.1.254
    connect: No route to host

Sending ICMP packets with raw sockets ends up in the SNMP counters
logging the type as the first byte of the IPv4 header rather than
the ICMP header. This is fixed by adding the IP Header Length to
the casting into a icmphdr struct.

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter.  Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.

As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.

To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn.  For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.

Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks.  At the
call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through
the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to
be easily and reliabily.

This allows the replacement of magic code like
"dev_net(state-&gt;in?:state-&gt;out)" that appears at the start of most
netfilter hooks with "state-&gt;net".

In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived
from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those
paths will not see any changes in practice.

The exceptions are:
xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume()         xs_net(skb_dst(skb)-&gt;xfrm)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont()      ip_vs_conn_net(cp)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_send_or_cont()          ip_vs_conn_net(cp)
ipv4/raw.c:raw_send_hdrinc()                    sock_net(sk)
ipv6/ip6_output.c:ip6_xmit()			sock_net(sk)
ipv6/ndisc.c:ndisc_send_skb()                   dev_net(skb-&gt;dev) not dev_net(dst-&gt;dev)
ipv6/raw.c:raw6_send_hdrinc()                   sock_net(sk)
br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb-&gt;dev) before skb-&gt;dev is set to nf_bridge-&gt;physindev

In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the
network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic
"dev_net(in?in:out)".  I am documenting them in case something odd
pops up and someone starts trying to track down what happened.

Add a sock paramter to dst_output making dst_output_sk superfluous.
Add a skb-&gt;sk parameter to all of the callers of dst_output
Have the callers of dst_output_sk call dst_output.

====================
netdev-related stuff in vfs.git

There are several commits sitting in vfs.git that probably ought to go in
via net-next.git.  First of all, there's merge with vfs.git#iocb - that's
Christoph's aio rework, which has triggered conflicts with the -&gt;sendmsg()
and -&gt;recvmsg() patches a while ago.  It's not so much Christoph's stuff
that ought to be in net-next, as (pretty simple) conflict resolution on merge.
The next chunk is switch to {compat_,}import_iovec/import_single_range - new
safer primitives for initializing iov_iter.  The primitives themselves come
from vfs/git#iov_iter (and they are used quite a lot in vfs part of queue),
conversion of net/socket.c syscalls belongs in net-next, IMO.  Next there's
afs and rxrpc stuff from dhowells.  And then there's sanitizing kernel_sendmsg
et.al.  + missing inlined helper for "how much data is left in msg-&gt;msg_iter" -
this stuff is used in e.g.  cifs stuff, but it belongs in net-next.

That pile is pullable from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git for-davem

I'll post the individual patches in there in followups; could you take a look
and tell if everything in there is OK with you?
