[ Upstream commit 59ea33a68a9083ac98515e4861c00e71efdc49a1 ]

Back in 2006, commit 1a2449a87b ("[I/OAT]: TCP recv offload to I/OAT")
added support for receive offloading to IOAT dma engine if available.

The code in tcp_rcv_established() tries to perform early DMA copy if
applicable. It however does so without checking whether the userspace
task is actually expecting the data in the buffer.

This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but there is a corner
case where this doesn't work -- and that's when MSG_TRUNC flag to
recvmsg() is used.

If the IOAT dma engine is not used, the code properly checks whether
there is a valid ucopy.task and the socket is owned by userspace, but
misses the check in the dmaengine case.

This problem can be observed in real trivially -- for example 'tbench' is a
good reproducer, as it makes a heavy use of MSG_TRUNC. On systems utilizing
IOAT, you will soon find tbench waiting indefinitely in sk_wait_data(), as they
have been already early-copied in tcp_rcv_established() using dma engine.

This patch introduces the same check we are performing in the simple
iovec copy case to the IOAT case as well. It fixes the indefinite
recvmsg(MSG_TRUNC) hangs.

[ Upstream commit 42493570100b91ef663c4c6f0c0fdab238f9d3c2 ]

TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is a TCP level socket option that takes an unsigned int. But
patch "tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option"(dca43c75) didn't check the negative
values. If a user assign -1 to it, the socket will set successfully and wait
for 4294967295 miliseconds. This patch add a negative value check to avoid
this issue.

<title>cipso: don't follow a NULL pointer when setsockopt() is called</title>

<content type='text'>
As reported by Alan Cox, and verified by Lin Ming, when a user
attempts to add a CIPSO option to a socket using the CIPSO_V4_TAG_LOCAL
tag the kernel dies a terrible death when it attempts to follow a NULL
pointer (the skb argument to cipso_v4_validate() is NULL when called via
the setsockopt() syscall).

This patch fixes this by first checking to ensure that the skb is
non-NULL before using it to find the incoming network interface.  In
the unlikely case where the skb is NULL and the user attempts to add
a CIPSO option with the _TAG_LOCAL tag we return an error as this is
not something we want to allow.

A simple reproducer, kindly supplied by Lin Ming, although you must
have the CIPSO DOI #3 configure on the system first or you will be
caught early in cipso_v4_validate():

	#include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/socket.h&gt;
	#include &lt;linux/ip.h&gt;
	#include &lt;linux/in.h&gt;
	#include &lt;string.h&gt;

	struct local_tag {
		char type;
		char length;
		char info[4];
	};

	struct cipso {
		char type;
		char length;
		char doi[4];
		struct local_tag local;
	};

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		int sockfd;
		struct cipso cipso = {
			.type = IPOPT_CIPSO,
			.length = sizeof(struct cipso),
			.local = {
				.type = 128,
				.length = sizeof(struct local_tag),
			},
		};

		memset(cipso.doi, 0, 4);
		cipso.doi[3] = 3;

		sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
		#define SOL_IP 0
		setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_IP, IP_OPTIONS,
			&amp;cipso, sizeof(struct cipso));

		return 0;
	}

<title>snmp: fix OutOctets counter to include forwarded datagrams</title>

RFC 4293 defines ipIfStatsOutOctets (similar definition for
ipSystemStatsOutOctets):

   The total number of octets in IP datagrams delivered to the lower
   layers for transmission.  Octets from datagrams counted in
   ipIfStatsOutTransmits MUST be counted here.

And ipIfStatsOutTransmits:

   The total number of IP datagrams that this entity supplied to the
   lower layers for transmission.  This includes datagrams generated
   locally and those forwarded by this entity.

Therefore, IPSTATS_MIB_OUTOCTETS must be incremented when incrementing
IPSTATS_MIB_OUTFORWDATAGRAMS.

IP_UPD_PO_STATS is not used since ipIfStatsOutRequests must not
include forwarded datagrams:

   The total number of IP datagrams that local IP user-protocols
   (including ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for transmission.  Note
   that this counter does not include any datagrams counted in
   ipIfStatsOutForwDatagrams.

commit 5faa5df1fa2024 (inetpeer: Invalidate the inetpeer tree along with
the routing cache) added a race :

Before freeing an inetpeer, we must respect a RCU grace period, and make
sure no user will attempt to increase refcnt.

inetpeer_invalidate_tree() waits for a RCU grace period before inserting
inetpeer tree into gc_list and waking the worker. At that time, no
concurrent lookup can find a inetpeer in this tree.

<title>tcp: reflect SYN queue_mapping into SYNACK packets</title>

While testing how linux behaves on SYNFLOOD attack on multiqueue device
(ixgbe), I found that SYNACK messages were dropped at Qdisc level
because we send them all on a single queue.

Obvious choice is to reflect incoming SYN packet @queue_mapping to
SYNACK packet.

Under stress, my machine could only send 25.000 SYNACK per second (for
200.000 incoming SYN per second). NIC : ixgbe with 16 rx/tx queues.

After patch, not a single SYNACK is dropped.

Another problem on SYNFLOOD/DDOS attack is the inetpeer cache getting
larger and larger, using lots of memory and cpu time.

tcp_v4_send_synack()
-&gt;inet_csk_route_req()
 -&gt;ip_route_output_flow()
  -&gt;rt_set_nexthop()
   -&gt;rt_init_metrics()
    -&gt;inet_getpeer( create = true)

This is a side effect of commit a4daad6b09230 (net: Pre-COW metrics for
TCP) added in 2.6.39

Possible solution :

Instruct inet_csk_route_req() to remove FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS

   -&gt;rt_init_metrics()
    -&gt;inet_getpeer( create = true)

This is a side effect of commit a4daad6b09230 (net: Pre-COW metrics for
TCP) added in 2.6.39

Possible solution :

Instruct inet_csk_route_req() to remove FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS

Before patch :

# grep peer /proc/slabinfo
inet_peer_cache   4175430 4175430    192   42    2 : tunables    0    0    0 : slabdata  99415  99415      0

Pull networking changes from David S. Miller:

 1) Fix IPSEC header length calculation for transport mode in ESP.  The
    issue is whether to do the calculation before or after alignment.
    Fix from Benjamin Poirier.

 2) Fix regression in IPV6 IPSEC fragment length calculations, from Gao
    Feng.  This is another transport vs tunnel mode issue.

 3) Handle AF_UNSPEC connect()s properly in L2TP to avoid OOPSes.  Fix
    from James Chapman.

 4) Fix USB ASIX driver's reception of full sized VLAN packets, from
    Eric Dumazet.

 5) Allow drop monitor (and, more generically, all generic netlink
    protocols) to be automatically loaded as a module.  From Neil
    Horman.

Fix up trivial conflict in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
due to new entries added next to each other at the end. As usual.

<title>memcg: decrement static keys at real destroy time</title>

<id>3f134619393cb6c6dfab7890a617d0ceca6d05d7</id>
<content type='text'>
We call the destroy function when a cgroup starts to be removed, such as
by a rmdir event.

However, because of our reference counters, some objects are still
inflight.  Right now, we are decrementing the static_keys at destroy()
time, meaning that if we get rid of the last static_key reference, some
objects will still have charges, but the code to properly uncharge them
won't be run.

This becomes a problem specially if it is ever enabled again, because now
new charges will be added to the staled charges making keeping it pretty
much impossible.

We just need to be careful with the static branch activation: since there
is no particular preferred order of their activation, we need to make sure
that we only start using it after all call sites are active.  This is
achieved by having a per-memcg flag that is only updated after
static_key_slow_inc() returns.  At this time, we are sure all sites are
active.

This is made per-memcg, not global, for a reason: it also has the effect
of making socket accounting more consistent.  The first memcg to be
limited will trigger static_key() activation, therefore, accounting.  But
all the others will then be accounted no matter what.  After this patch,
only limited memcgs will have its sockets accounted.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: move enum sock_flag_bits into sock.h,
                            document enum sock_flag_bits,
                            convert memcg_proto_active() and memcg_proto_activated() to test_bit(),
                            redo tcp_update_limit() comment to 80 cols]

<title>xfrm: take net hdr len into account for esp payload size calculation</title>

Corrects the function that determines the esp payload size. The calculations
done in esp{4,6}_get_mtu() lead to overlength frames in transport mode for
certain mtu values and suboptimal frames for others.

According to what is done, mainly in esp{,6}_output() and tcp_mtu_to_mss(),
net_header_len must be taken into account before doing the alignment
calculation.
