[ Upstream commit 8f659a03a0ba9289b9aeb9b4470e6fb263d6f483 ]

inet-&gt;hdrincl is racy, and could lead to uninitialized stack pointer
usage, so its value should be read only once.

<title>tcp md5sig: Use skb's saddr when replying to an incoming segment</title>

[ Upstream commit 30791ac41927ebd3e75486f9504b6d2280463bf0 ]

The MD5-key that belongs to a connection is identified by the peer's
IP-address. When we are in tcp_v4(6)_reqsk_send_ack(), we are replying
to an incoming segment from tcp_check_req() that failed the seq-number
checks.

Thus, to find the correct key, we need to use the skb's saddr and not
the daddr.

This bug seems to have been there since quite a while, but probably got
unnoticed because the consequences are not catastrophic. We will call
tcp_v4_reqsk_send_ack only to send a challenge-ACK back to the peer,
thus the connection doesn't really fail.

Fixes: 9501f9722922 ("tcp md5sig: Let the caller pass appropriate key for tcp_v{4,6}_do_calc_md5_hash().")

[ Upstream commit a46182b00290839fa3fa159d54fd3237bd8669f0 ]

Closing a multicast socket after the final IPv4 address is deleted
from an interface can generate a membership report that uses the
source IP from a different interface.  The following test script, run
from an isolated netns, reproduces the issue:

    #!/bin/bash

    ip link add dummy0 type dummy
    ip link add dummy1 type dummy
    ip link set dummy0 up
    ip link set dummy1 up
    ip addr add 10.1.1.1/24 dev dummy0
    ip addr add 192.168.99.99/24 dev dummy1

    tcpdump -U -i dummy0 &amp;
    socat EXEC:"sleep 2" \
        UDP4-DATAGRAM:239.101.1.68:8889,ip-add-membership=239.0.1.68:10.1.1.1 &amp;

    sleep 1
    ip addr del 10.1.1.1/24 dev dummy0
    sleep 5
    kill %tcpdump

RFC 3376 specifies that the report must be sent with a valid IP source
address from the destination subnet, or from address 0.0.0.0.  Add an
extra check to make sure this is the case.

[ Upstream commit b5476022bbada3764609368f03329ca287528dc8 ]

IPv4 stack reacts to changes to small MTU, by disabling itself under
RTNL.

But there is a window where threads not using RTNL can see a wrong
device mtu. This can lead to surprises, in igmp code where it is
assumed the mtu is suitable.

Fix this by reading device mtu once and checking IPv4 minimal MTU.

This patch adds missing IPV4_MIN_MTU define, to not abuse
ETH_MIN_MTU anymore.

[ Upstream commit e39d5246111399dbc6e11cd39fd8580191b86c47 ]

Now when creating fnhe for redirect, it sets fnhe_expires for this
new route cache. But when updating the exist one, it doesn't do it.
It will cause this fnhe never to be expired.

Paolo already noticed it before, in Jianlin's test case, it became
even worse:

When ip route flush cache, the old fnhe is not to be removed, but
only clean it's members. When redirect comes again, this fnhe will
be found and updated, but never be expired due to fnhe_expires not
being set.

So fix it by simply updating fnhe_expires even it's for redirect.

Now when ip route flush cache and it turn out all fnhe_genid != genid.
If a redirect/pmtu icmp packet comes and the old fnhe is found and all
it's members but fnhe_genid will be updated.

Then next time when it looks up route and tries to rebind this fnhe to
the new dst, the fnhe will be flushed due to fnhe_genid != genid. It
causes this redirect/pmtu icmp packet acutally not to be applied.

This patch is to also reset fnhe_genid when updating a route cache.

[ Upstream commit 3b11775033dc87c3d161996c54507b15ba26414a ]

Christoph Paasch sent a patch to address the following issue :

tcp_make_synack() is leaving some TCP private info in skb-&gt;cb[],
then send the packet by other means than tcp_transmit_skb()

tcp_transmit_skb() makes sure to clear skb-&gt;cb[] to not confuse
IPv4/IPV6 stacks, but we have no such cleanup for SYNACK.

tcp_make_synack() should not use tcp_init_nondata_skb() :

tcp_init_nondata_skb() really should be limited to skbs put in write/rtx
queues (the ones that are only sent via tcp_transmit_skb())

This patch fixes the issue and should even save few cpu cycles ;)

[ Upstream commit f3594f0a7ea36661d7fd942facd7f31a64245f1a ]

t-&gt;err_count is used to count the link failure on tunnel and an err
will be reported to user socket in tx path if t-&gt;err_count is not 0.
udp socket could even return EHOSTUNREACH to users.

Since commit fd58156e456d ("IPIP: Use ip-tunneling code.") removed
the 'switch check' for icmp type in ipip_err(), err_count would be
increased by the icmp packet with ICMP_EXC_FRAGTIME code. an link
failure would be reported out due to this.

In Jianlin's case, when receiving ICMP_EXC_FRAGTIME a icmp packet,
udp netperf failed with the err:
  send_data: data send error: No route to host (errno 113)

We expect this error reported from tunnel to socket when receiving
some certain type icmp, but not ICMP_EXC_FRAGTIME, ICMP_SR_FAILED
or ICMP_PARAMETERPROB ones.

This patch is to bring 'switch check' for icmp type back to ipip_err
so that it only reports link failure for the right type icmp, just as
in ipgre_err() and ipip6_err().

[ Upstream commit 2b7cda9c35d3b940eb9ce74b30bbd5eb30db493d ]

Based on SNMP values provided by Roman, Yuchung made the observation
that some crashes in tcp_sacktag_walk() might be caused by MTU probing.

Looking at tcp_mtu_probe(), I found that when a new skb was placed
in front of the write queue, we were not updating tcp highest sack.

If one skb is freed because all its content was copied to the new skb
(for MTU probing), then tp-&gt;highest_sack could point to a now freed skb.

Bad things would then happen, including infinite loops.

This patch renames tcp_highest_sack_combine() and uses it
from tcp_mtu_probe() to fix the bug.

Note that I also removed one test against tp-&gt;sacked_out,
since we want to replace tp-&gt;highest_sack regardless of whatever
condition, since keeping a stale pointer to freed skb is a recipe
for disaster.

Fixes: a47e5a988a57 ("[TCP]: Convert highest_sack to sk_buff to allow direct access")
