[ Upstream commit b406472b5ad79ede8d10077f0c8f05505ace8b6d ]

Since commit c09551c6ff7f ("net: ipv4: use a dedicated counter
for icmp_v4 redirect packets") we use 'n_redirects' to account
for redirect packets, but we still use 'rate_tokens' to compute
the redirect packets exponential backoff.

If the device sent to the relevant peer any ICMP error packet
after sending a redirect, it will also update 'rate_token' according
to the leaking bucket schema; typically 'rate_token' will raise
above BITS_PER_LONG and the redirect packets backoff algorithm
will produce undefined behavior.

Fix the issue using 'n_redirects' to compute the exponential backoff
in ip_rt_send_redirect().

Note that we still clear rate_tokens after a redirect silence period,
to avoid changing an established behaviour.

The root cause predates git history; before the mentioned commit in
the critical scenario, the kernel stopped sending redirects, after
the mentioned commit the behavior more randomic.

[ Upstream commit 77d5bc7e6a6cf8bbeca31aab7f0c5449a5eee762 ]

Julian noted that rt_uses_gateway has a more subtle use than 'is gateway
set':
    https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/alpine.LFD.2.21.1909151104060.2546@ja.home.ssi.bg/

Revert that part of the commit referenced in the Fixes tag.

Currently, there are no u8 holes in 'struct rtable'. There is a 4-byte hole
in the second cacheline which contains the gateway declaration. So move
rt_gw_family down to the gateway declarations since they are always used
together, and then re-use that u8 for rt_uses_gateway. End result is that
rtable size is unchanged.

Multicast or broadcast egress packets have rt_iif set to the oif. These
packets might be recirculated back as input and lookup to the raw
sockets may fail because they are bound to the incoming interface
(skb_iif). If rt_iif is not zero, during the lookup, inet_iif() function
returns rt_iif instead of skb_iif. Hence, the lookup fails.

v2: Make it non vrf specific (David Ahern). Reword the changelog to
    reflect it.

With the topo:

    h1 ---| rp1            |
          |     route  rp3 |--- h3 (192.168.200.1)
    h2 ---| rp2            |

If rp1 bc_forwarding is set while rp2 bc_forwarding is not, after
doing "ping 192.168.200.255" on h1, then ping 192.168.200.255 on
h2, and the packets can still be forwared.

This issue was caused by the input route cache. It should only do
the cache for either bc forwarding or local delivery. Otherwise,
local delivery can use the route cache for bc forwarding of other
interfaces.

This patch is to fix it by not doing cache for local delivery if
all.bc_forwarding is enabled.

Note that we don't fix it by checking route cache local flag after
rt_cache_valid() in "local_input:" and "ip_mkroute_input", as the
common route code shouldn't be touched for bc_forwarding.

Similar to the cached routes, make IPv4 exceptions accessible when
using an IPv6 nexthop struct with IPv4 routes. Simplify the exception
functions by passing in fib_nh_common since that is all it needs,
and then cleanup the call sites that have extraneous fib_nh conversions.

As with the cached routes this is a change in location only, from fib_nh
up to fib_nh_common; no functional change intended.

Now that the cached routes are in fib_nh_common, pass it to

the tclassid becomes the last user of fib_nh so move the

While the cached routes, nh_pcpu_rth_output and nh_rth_input, are IPv4
specific, a later patch wants to make them accessible for IPv6 nexthops
with IPv4 routes using a fib6_nh. Move the cached routes from fib_nh to
fib_nh_common and update references.

Initialization of the cached entries is moved to fib_nh_common_init,
and free is moved to fib_nh_common_release.

Change in location only, from fib_nh up to fib_nh_common; no functional
change intended.

While the cached routes, nh_pcpu_rth_output and nh_rth_input, are IPv4
specific, a later patch wants to make them accessible for IPv6 nexthops
with IPv4 routes using a fib6_nh. Move the cached routes from fib_nh to
fib_nh_common and update references.

Initialization of the cached entries is moved to fib_nh_common_init,
and free is moved to fib_nh_common_release.

Change in location only, from fib_nh up to fib_nh_common; no functional
change intended.

We currently have two levels of strict validation:

 1) liberal (default)
     - undefined (type &gt;= max) &amp; NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted
     - garbage at end of message accepted
 2) strict (opt-in)
     - NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted

Split out parsing strictness into four different options:
 * TRAILING     - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
                  attributes (in message or nested)
 * MAXTYPE      - reject attrs &gt; max known type
 * UNSPEC       - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
 * STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size

The default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().

Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.

We end up with the following renames:
 * nla_parse           -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated
 * nla_parse_strict    -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nlmsg_parse         -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated
 * nlmsg_parse_strict  -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nla_parse_nested    -&gt; nla_parse_nested_deprecated
 * nla_validate_nested -&gt; nla_validate_nested_deprecated

Using spatch, of course:

    expression TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT;

For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions
yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong.

Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a
common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication.

Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every
new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the
next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is.

In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command.
