[ Upstream commit 843925f33fcc293d80acf2c5c8a78adf3344d49b ]

Thomas Jarosch reported IPsec TCP stalls when a PMTU event occurs.

In fact the problem was completely unrelated to IPsec.  The bug is
also reproducible if you just disable TSO/GSO.

The problem is that when the MSS goes down, existing queued packet
on the TX queue that have not been transmitted yet all look like
TSO packets and get treated as such.

This then triggers a bug where tcp_mss_split_point tells us to
generate a zero-sized packet on the TX queue.  Once that happens
we're screwed because the zero-sized packet can never be removed
by ACKs.

Fixes: 1485348d242 ("tcp: Apply device TSO segment limit earlier")

[ Upstream commit 12069401d895ff84076a50189ca842c0696b84b2 ]

Currently, searching for a socket to add a reference to is not
synchronized with deletion of sockets. This can result in use
after free if there is another operation that is removing a
socket at the same time. Solving this requires both holding the
appropriate lock and checking the refcount to ensure that it
has not already hit zero.

Inspired by a related (but not exactly the same) issue in the
VXLAN driver.

[ Upstream commit 8a0033a947403569caeca45fa5e6f7ba60d51974 ]

The NBMA GRE tunnels temporarily push GRE header that contain the
per-packet NBMA destination on the skb via header ops early in xmit
path. It is the later pulled before the real GRE header is constructed.

The inner mac was thus set differently in nbma case: the GRE header
has been pushed by neighbor layer, and mac header points to beginning
of the temporary gre header (set by dev_queue_xmit).

Now that the offloads expect mac header to point to the gre payload,
fix the xmit patch to:
 - pull first the temporary gre header away
 - and reset mac header to point to gre payload

This fixes tso to work again with nbma tunnels.

<title>net-timestamp: make tcp_recvmsg call ipv6_recv_error for AF_INET6 socks</title>

<content type='text'>
TCP timestamping introduced MSG_ERRQUEUE handling for TCP sockets.
If the socket is of family AF_INET6, call ipv6_recv_error instead
of ip_recv_error.

This change is more complex than a single branch due to the loadable
ipv6 module. It reuses a pre-existing indirect function call from
ping. The ping code is safe to call, because it is part of the core
ipv6 module and always present when AF_INET6 sockets are active.

Fixes: 4ed2d765 (net-timestamp: TCP timestamping)
Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn &lt;willemb@google.com&gt;

It may also be worthwhile to add WARN_ON_ONCE(sk-&gt;family == AF_INET6)
to ip_recv_error.

After commit ca777eff51f7 ("tcp: remove dst refcount false sharing for

tcp_v[46]_send_reset() if prequeue dropped the dst.

If a socket is provided, a full lookup was done to find this socket,
so the dst test can be skipped.

ping_lookup() may return a wrong sock if sk_buff's and sock's protocols
dont' match. For example, sk_buff's protocol is ETH_P_IPV6, but sock's
sk_family is AF_INET, in that case, if sk-&gt;sk_bound_dev_if is zero, a wrong
sock will be returned.
the fix is to "continue" the searching, if no matching, return NULL.

Now the vti_link_ops do not point the .dellink, for fb tunnel device
(ip_vti0), the net_device will be removed as the default .dellink is
unregister_netdevice_queue,but the tunnel still in the tunnel list,
then if we add a new vti tunnel, in ip_tunnel_find():

        hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(t, head, hash_node) {
                if (local == t-&gt;parms.iph.saddr &amp;&amp;
                    remote == t-&gt;parms.iph.daddr &amp;&amp;
                    link == t-&gt;parms.link &amp;&amp;
==&gt;                 type == t-&gt;dev-&gt;type &amp;&amp;
                    ip_tunnel_key_match(&amp;t-&gt;parms, flags, key))
                        break;
        }

the panic will happen, cause dev of ip_tunnel *t is null:

do that one or more times, kernel will panic.

fix it by assigning ip_tunnel_dellink to vti_link_ops' dellink, in
which we skip the unregister of fb tunnel device. do the same on ip6_vti.
