net:Add sysctl_max_skb_frags

2017-02-08T08:43:05+00:00

commit 5f74f82ea34c0da80ea0b49192bb5ea06e063593 upstream.

Devices may have limits on the number of fragments in an skb they support.
Current codebase uses a constant as maximum for number of fragments one
skb can hold and use.
When enabling scatter/gather and running traffic with many small messages
the codebase uses the maximum number of fragments and may thereby violate
the max for certain devices.
The patch introduces a global variable as max number of fragments.

netfilter: Fix switch statement warnings with recent gcc.

2017-02-08T08:43:03+00:00

commit c1f866767777d1c6abae0ec57effffcb72017c00 upstream.

More recent GCC warns about two kinds of switch statement uses:

1) Switching on an enumeration, but not having an explicit case
   statement for all members of the enumeration.  To show the
   compiler this is intentional, we simply add a default case
   with nothing more than a break statement.

2) Switching on a boolean value.  I think this warning is dumb
   but nevertheless you get it wholesale with -Wswitch.

This patch cures all such warnings in netfilter.

gro: Allow tunnel stacking in the case of FOU/GUE

2017-01-15T14:49:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit c3483384ee511ee2af40b4076366cd82a6a47b86 ]

This patch should fix the issues seen with a recent fix to prevent
tunnel-in-tunnel frames from being generated with GRO.  The fix itself is
correct for now as long as we do not add any devices that support
NETIF_F_GSO_GRE_CSUM.  When such a device is added it could have the
potential to mess things up due to the fact that the outer transport header
points to the outer UDP header and not the GRE header as would be expected.

tunnels: Don't apply GRO to multiple layers of encapsulation.

2017-01-15T14:49:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit fac8e0f579695a3ecbc4d3cac369139d7f819971 ]

When drivers express support for TSO of encapsulated packets, they
only mean that they can do it for one layer of encapsulation.
Supporting additional levels would mean updating, at a minimum,
more IP length fields and they are unaware of this.

No encapsulation device expresses support for handling offloaded
encapsulated packets, so we won't generate these types of frames
in the transmit path. However, GRO doesn't have a check for
multiple levels of encapsulation and will attempt to build them.

UDP tunnel GRO actually does prevent this situation but it only
handles multiple UDP tunnels stacked on top of each other. This
generalizes that solution to prevent any kind of tunnel stacking
that would cause problems.

net: ipv4: Convert IP network timestamps to be y2038 safe

2017-01-15T14:49:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 822c868532cae2cc1c51f4f18ab61c194d98aaf6 ]

ICMP timestamp messages and IP source route options require
timestamps to be in milliseconds modulo 24 hours from
midnight UT format.

Add inet_current_timestamp() function to support this. The function
returns the required timestamp in network byte order.

Timestamp calculation is also changed to call ktime_get_real_ts64()
which uses struct timespec64. struct timespec64 is y2038 safe.
Previously it called getnstimeofday() which uses struct timespec.
struct timespec is not y2038 safe.

ipip: Properly mark ipip GRO packets as encapsulated.

2017-01-15T14:49:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit b8cba75bdf6a48ea4811bbefb11a94a5c7281b68 ]

ipip encapsulated packets can be merged together by GRO but the result
does not have the proper GSO type set or even marked as being
encapsulated at all. Later retransmission of these packets will likely
fail if the device does not support ipip offloads. This is similar to
the issue resolved in IPv6 sit in feec0cb3
("ipv6: gro: support sit protocol").

udp: properly support MSG_PEEK with truncated buffers

2016-11-19T15:15:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 197c949e7798fbf28cfadc69d9ca0c2abbf93191 ]

Backport of this upstream commit into stable kernels :
89c22d8c3b27 ("net: Fix skb csum races when peeking")
exposed a bug in udp stack vs MSG_PEEK support, when user provides
a buffer smaller than skb payload.

In this case,
skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_iovec(skb, sizeof(struct udphdr),
                                 msg->msg_iov);
returns -EFAULT.

This bug does not happen in upstream kernels since Al Viro did a great
job to replace this into :
skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_msg(skb, sizeof(struct udphdr), msg);
This variant is safe vs short buffers.

For the time being, instead reverting Herbert Xu patch and add back
skb->ip_summed invalid changes, simply store the result of
udp_lib_checksum_complete() so that we avoid computing the checksum a
second time, and avoid the problematic
skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_iovec() call.

This patch can be applied on recent kernels as it avoids a double
checksumming, then backported to stable kernels as a bug fix.

tcp: make challenge acks less predictable

2016-08-24T15:05:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 75ff39ccc1bd5d3c455b6822ab09e533c551f758 ]

Yue Cao claims that current host rate limiting of challenge ACKS
(RFC 5961) could leak enough information to allow a patient attacker
to hijack TCP sessions. He will soon provide details in an academic
paper.

This patch increases the default limit from 100 to 1000, and adds
some randomization so that the attacker can no longer hijack
sessions without spending a considerable amount of probes.

Based on initial analysis and patch from Linus.

Note that we also have per socket rate limiting, so it is tempting
to remove the host limit in the future.

v2: randomize the count of challenge acks per second, not the period.

netfilter: x_tables: speed up jump target validation

2016-08-03T15:34:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit f4dc77713f8016d2e8a3295e1c9c53a21f296def ]

The dummy ruleset I used to test the original validation change was broken,
most rules were unreachable and were not tested by mark_source_chains().

In some cases rulesets that used to load in a few seconds now require
several minutes.

sample ruleset that shows the behaviour:

echo "*filter"
for i in $(seq 0 100000);do
        printf ":chain_%06x - [0:0]\n" $i
done
for i in $(seq 0 100000);do
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
done
echo COMMIT

[ pipe result into iptables-restore ]

This ruleset will be about 74mbyte in size, with ~500k searches
though all 500k[1] rule entries. iptables-restore will take forever
(gave up after 10 minutes)

Instead of always searching the entire blob for a match, fill an
array with the start offsets of every single ipt_entry struct,
then do a binary search to check if the jump target is present or not.

After this change ruleset restore times get again close to what one
gets when reverting 36472341017529e (~3 seconds on my workstation).

[1] every user-defined rule gets an implicit RETURN, so we get
300k jumps + 100k userchains + 100k returns -> 500k rule entries
