[ Upstream commit 626abd59e51d4d8c6367e03aae252a8aa759ac78 ]

Currently, when creating or updating a route, no check is performed
in both ipv4 and ipv6 code to the hoplimit value.

The caller can i.e. set hoplimit to 256, and when such route will
 be used, packets will be sent with hoplimit/ttl equal to 0.

This commit adds checks for the RTAX_HOPLIMIT value, in both ipv4
ipv6 route code, substituting any value greater than 255 with 255.

This is consistent with what is currently done for ADVMSS and MTU
in the ipv4 code.

[ Upstream commit 10a81980fc47e64ffac26a073139813d3f697b64 ]

In the very unlikely case __tcp_retransmit_skb() can not use the cloning
done in tcp_transmit_skb(), we need to refresh skb_mstamp before doing
the copy and transmit, otherwise TCP TS val will be an exact copy of
original transmit.

[ Upstream commit b7f8fe251e4609e2a437bd2c2dea01e61db6849c ]

iptunnel_pull_header expects that IP header was already pulled; with this
expectation, it pulls the tunnel header. This is not true in gre_err.
Furthermore, ipv4_update_pmtu and ipv4_redirect expect that skb-&gt;data points
to the IP header.

We cannot pull the tunnel header in this path. It's just a matter of not
calling iptunnel_pull_header - we don't need any of its effects.

<title>soreuseport: fix ordering for mixed v4/v6 sockets</title>

[ Upstream commit d894ba18d4e449b3a7f6eb491f16c9e02933736e ]

With the SO_REUSEPORT socket option, it is possible to create sockets
in the AF_INET and AF_INET6 domains which are bound to the same IPv4 address.
This is only possible with SO_REUSEPORT and when not using IPV6_V6ONLY on
the AF_INET6 sockets.

Prior to the commits referenced below, an incoming IPv4 packet would
always be routed to a socket of type AF_INET when this mixed-mode was used.
After those changes, the same packet would be routed to the most recently
bound socket (if this happened to be an AF_INET6 socket, it would
have an IPv4 mapped IPv6 address).

The change in behavior occurred because the recent SO_REUSEPORT optimizations
short-circuit the socket scoring logic as soon as they find a match.  They
did not take into account the scoring logic that favors AF_INET sockets
over AF_INET6 sockets in the event of a tie.

To fix this problem, this patch changes the insertion order of AF_INET
and AF_INET6 addresses in the TCP and UDP socket lists when the sockets
have SO_REUSEPORT set.  AF_INET sockets will be inserted at the head of the
list and AF_INET6 sockets with SO_REUSEPORT set will always be inserted at
the tail of the list.  This will force AF_INET sockets to always be
considered first.

Fixes: 125e80b88687 ("soreuseport: fast reuseport TCP socket selection")

<title>route: do not cache fib route info on local routes with oif</title>

[ Upstream commit d6d5e999e5df67f8ec20b6be45e2229455ee3699 ]

For local routes that require a particular output interface we do not want
to cache the result.  Caching the result causes incorrect behaviour when
there are multiple source addresses on the interface.  The end result
being that if the intended recipient is waiting on that interface for the
packet he won't receive it because it will be delivered on the loopback
interface and the IP_PKTINFO ipi_ifindex will be set to the loopback
interface as well.

This can be tested by running a program such as "dhcp_release" which
attempts to inject a packet on a particular interface so that it is
received by another program on the same board.  The receiving process
should see an IP_PKTINFO ipi_ifndex value of the source interface
(e.g., eth1) instead of the loopback interface (e.g., lo).  The packet
will still appear on the loopback interface in tcpdump but the important
aspect is that the CMSG info is correct.

Sample dhcp_release command line:

   dhcp_release eth1 192.168.204.222 02:11:33:22:44:66

using non-deterministic data at this line:

	if (!(flp-&gt;flowi4_flags &amp; FLOWI_FLAG_SKIP_NH_OIF)) {

Fix by initializing the entire fl4 structure, which will prevent
similar issues as fields are added in the future by ensuring that
all fields are initialized to zero unless explicitly initialized

[ Upstream commit e316ea62e3203d524ff0239a40c56d3a39ad1b5c ]

Now SYN_RECV request sockets are installed in ehash table, an ICMP
handler can find a request socket while another cpu handles an incoming
packet transforming this SYN_RECV request socket into an ESTABLISHED
socket.

We need to remove the now obsolete WARN_ON(req-&gt;sk), since req-&gt;sk
is set when a new child is created and added into listener accept queue.

If this race happens, the ICMP will do nothing special.

[ Upstream commit e316ea62e3203d524ff0239a40c56d3a39ad1b5c ]

Now SYN_RECV request sockets are installed in ehash table, an ICMP
handler can find a request socket while another cpu handles an incoming
packet transforming this SYN_RECV request socket into an ESTABLISHED
socket.

We need to remove the now obsolete WARN_ON(req-&gt;sk), since req-&gt;sk
is set when a new child is created and added into listener accept queue.

If this race happens, the ICMP will do nothing special.

[ Upstream commit fbd40ea0180a2d328c5adc61414dc8bab9335ce2 ]

When an inetdev is destroyed, every address assigned to the interface
is removed.  And in this scenerio we do two pointless things which can
be very expensive if the number of assigned interfaces is large:

1) Address promotion.  We are deleting all addresses, so there is no
   point in doing this.

2) A full nf conntrack table purge for every address.  We only need to
   do this once, as is already caught by the existing
   masq_dev_notifier so masq_inet_event() can skip this.
