It turns out that commit: d3f7d56a7a4671d395e8af87071068a195257bf6 was
applied to the tree twice, which didn't hurt anything, but it's good to
fix this up.

commit d3f7d56a7a4671d395e8af87071068a195257bf6 upstream.

Commit 35f9c09fe (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once)
added an internal flag MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, similar to
MSG_MORE.

algif_hash, algif_skcipher, and udp used MSG_MORE from tcp_sendpages()
and need to see the new flag as identical to MSG_MORE.

This fixes sendfile() on AF_ALG.

v3: also fix udp

[ Upstream commit 84502b5ef9849a9694673b15c31bd3ac693010ae ]

On some codepaths the skb does not have a dst entry
when xfrm_decode_session() is called. So check for
a valid skb_dst() before dereferencing the device
interface index. We use 0 as the device index if
there is no valid skb_dst(), or at reverse decoding
we use skb_iif as device interface index.

Bug was introduced with git commit bafd4bd4dc
("xfrm: Decode sessions with output interface.").

another places where IP_INC_STATS_BH() were improperly used.

udp_sendmsg(), ping_v4_sendmsg() and tcp_v4_connect() are called from
process context, not from softirq context.

This was detected by lockdep seqlock support.

[ Upstream commit b8ee93ba80b5a0b6c3c06b65c34dd1276f16c047 ]

This patch simplifies the checksum verification in tcpX_gro_receive
by reusing the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE code for CHECKSUM_NONE.  All it
does for CHECKSUM_NONE is compute the partial checksum and then
treat it as if it came from the hardware (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE).

In some cases we may receive IP packets that are longer than
their stated lengths.  Such packets are never merged in GRO.
However, we may end up computing their checksums incorrectly
and end up allowing packets with a bogus checksum enter our
stack with the checksum status set as verified.

Since such packets are rare and not performance-critical, this
patch simply skips the checksum verification for them.

[ Upstream commit dcdfdf56b4a6c9437fc37dbc9cee94a788f9b0c4 ]

CPUs can ask for local route via ip_route_input_noref() concurrently.
if nh_rth_input is not cached yet, CPUs will proceed to allocate
equivalent DSTs on 'lo' and then will try to cache them in nh_rth_input
via rt_cache_route()
Most of the time they succeed, but on occasion the following two lines:
	orig = *p;
	prev = cmpxchg(p, orig, rt);
in rt_cache_route() do race and one of the cpus fails to complete cmpxchg.
But ip_route_input_slow() doesn't check the return code of rt_cache_route(),
so dst is leaking. dst_destroy() is never called and 'lo' device
refcnt doesn't go to zero, which can be seen in the logs as:
	unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1
Adding mdelay() between above two lines makes it easily reproducible.
Fix it similar to nh_pcpu_rth_output case.

<title>tcp: don't update snd_nxt, when a socket is switched from repair mode</title>

[ Upstream commit dbde497966804e63a38fdedc1e3815e77097efc2 ]

snd_nxt must be updated synchronously with sk_send_head.  Otherwise
tp-&gt;packets_out may be updated incorrectly, what may bring a kernel panic.

Here is a kernel panic from my host.
[  103.043194] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048
[  103.044025] IP: [&lt;ffffffff815aaaaf&gt;] tcp_rearm_rto+0xcf/0x150
...
[  146.301158] Call Trace:
[  146.301158]  [&lt;ffffffff815ab7f0&gt;] tcp_ack+0xcc0/0x12c0

Before this panic a tcp socket was restored. This socket had sent and
unsent data in the write queue. Sent data was restored in repair mode,
then the socket was switched from reapair mode and unsent data was
restored. After that the socket was switched back into repair mode.

In that moment we had a socket where write queue looks like this:
snd_una    snd_nxt   write_seq
   |_________|________|
             |
	  sk_send_head

After a second switching from repair mode the state of socket was
changed:

snd_una          snd_nxt, write_seq
   |_________ ________|
             |
	  sk_send_head

This state is inconsistent, because snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not
synchronized.

Bellow you can find a call trace, how packets_out can be incremented
twice for one skb, if snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized.
In this case packets_out will be always positive, even when
sk_write_queue is empty.

tcp_write_wakeup
	skb = tcp_send_head(sk);
	tcp_fragment
		if (!before(tp-&gt;snd_nxt, TCP_SKB_CB(buff)-&gt;end_seq))
			tcp_adjust_pcount(sk, skb, diff);
	tcp_event_new_data_sent
		tp-&gt;packets_out += tcp_skb_pcount(skb);

I think update of snd_nxt isn't required, when a socket is switched from
repair mode.  Because it's initialized in tcp_connect_init. Then when a
write queue is restored, snd_nxt is incremented in tcp_event_new_data_sent,
so it's always is in consistent state.

I have checked, that the bug is not reproduced with this patch and
all tests about restoring tcp connections work fine.

[ Upstream commit dbde497966804e63a38fdedc1e3815e77097efc2 ]

snd_nxt must be updated synchronously with sk_send_head.  Otherwise
tp-&gt;packets_out may be updated incorrectly, what may bring a kernel panic.

Here is a kernel panic from my host.
[  103.043194] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048
[  103.044025] IP: [&lt;ffffffff815aaaaf&gt;] tcp_rearm_rto+0xcf/0x150
...
[  146.301158] Call Trace:
[  146.301158]  [&lt;ffffffff815ab7f0&gt;] tcp_ack+0xcc0/0x12c0

Before this panic a tcp socket was restored. This socket had sent and
unsent data in the write queue. Sent data was restored in repair mode,
then the socket was switched from reapair mode and unsent data was
restored. After that the socket was switched back into repair mode.

In that moment we had a socket where write queue looks like this:
snd_una    snd_nxt   write_seq
   |_________|________|
             |
	  sk_send_head

After a second switching from repair mode the state of socket was
changed:

snd_una          snd_nxt, write_seq
   |_________ ________|
             |
	  sk_send_head

This state is inconsistent, because snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not
synchronized.

Bellow you can find a call trace, how packets_out can be incremented
twice for one skb, if snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized.
In this case packets_out will be always positive, even when
sk_write_queue is empty.

tcp_write_wakeup
	skb = tcp_send_head(sk);
	tcp_fragment
		if (!before(tp-&gt;snd_nxt, TCP_SKB_CB(buff)-&gt;end_seq))
			tcp_adjust_pcount(sk, skb, diff);
	tcp_event_new_data_sent
		tp-&gt;packets_out += tcp_skb_pcount(skb);

I think update of snd_nxt isn't required, when a socket is switched from
repair mode.  Because it's initialized in tcp_connect_init. Then when a
write queue is restored, snd_nxt is incremented in tcp_event_new_data_sent,
so it's always is in consistent state.

all tests about restoring tcp connections work fine.

[ Upstream commit 236c9f84868534c718b6889aa624de64763281f9 ]

After searching rt by the vti tunnel dst/src parameter,
if this rt has neither attached to any transformation
nor the transformation is not tunnel oriented, this rt
should be released back to ip layer.

otherwise causing dst memory leakage.
