[ Upstream commit 595e0651d0296bad2491a4a29a7a43eae6328b02 ]

...instead of -EINVAL. An issue was found with older kernel versions
while unplugging a NFS client with pending RPCs, and the wrong error
code here prevented it from recovering once link is back up with a
configured address.

Incidentally, this is not an issue anymore since commit 4f8943f80883
("SUNRPC: Replace direct task wakeups from softirq context"), included
in 5.2-rc7, had the effect of decoupling the forwarding of this error
by using SO_ERROR in xs_wake_error(), as pointed out by Benjamin
Coddington.

To the best of my knowledge, this isn't currently causing any further
issue, but the error code doesn't look appropriate anyway, and we
might hit this in other paths as well.

In detail, as analysed by Gonzalo Siero, once the route is deleted
because the interface is down, and can't be resolved and we return
-EINVAL here, this ends up, courtesy of inet_sk_rebuild_header(),
as the socket error seen by tcp_write_err(), called by
tcp_retransmit_timer().

In turn, tcp_write_err() indirectly calls xs_error_report(), which
wakes up the RPC pending tasks with a status of -EINVAL. This is then
seen by call_status() in the SUN RPC implementation, which aborts the
RPC call calling rpc_exit(), instead of handling this as a
potentially temporary condition, i.e. as a timeout.

Return -EINVAL only if the input parameters passed to
ip_route_output_key_hash_rcu() are actually invalid (this is the case
if the specified source address is multicast, limited broadcast or
all zeroes), but return -ENETUNREACH in all cases where, at the given
moment, the given source address doesn't allow resolving the route.

While at it, drop the initialisation of err to -ENETUNREACH, which
was added to __ip_route_output_key() back then by commit
0315e3827048 ("net: Fix behaviour of unreachable, blackhole and
prohibit routes"), but actually had no effect, as it was, and is,
overwritten by the fib_lookup() return code assignment, and anyway
ignored in all other branches, including the if (fl4-&gt;saddr) one:
I find this rather confusing, as it would look like -ENETUNREACH is
the "default" error, while that statement has no effect.

Also note that after commit fc75fc8339e7 ("ipv4: dont create routes
on down devices"), we would get -ENETUNREACH if the device is down,
but -EINVAL if the source address is specified and we can't resolve
the route, and this appears to be rather inconsistent.

<title>ipv4: fix race condition between route lookup and invalidation</title>

[ Upstream commit 5018c59607a511cdee743b629c76206d9c9e6d7b ]

Jesse and Ido reported the following race condition:
&lt;CPU A, t0&gt; - Received packet A is forwarded and cached dst entry is
taken from the nexthop ('nhc-&gt;nhc_rth_input'). Calls skb_dst_set()

&lt;t1&gt; - Given Jesse has busy routers ("ingesting full BGP routing tables
from multiple ISPs"), route is added / deleted and rt_cache_flush() is
called

&lt;CPU B, t2&gt; - Received packet B tries to use the same cached dst entry
from t0, but rt_cache_valid() is no longer true and it is replaced in
rt_cache_route() by the newer one. This calls dst_dev_put() on the
original dst entry which assigns the blackhole netdev to 'dst-&gt;dev'

&lt;CPU A, t3&gt; - dst_input(skb) is called on packet A and it is dropped due
to 'dst-&gt;dev' being the blackhole netdev

There are 2 issues in the v4 routing code:
1. A per-netns counter is used to do the validation of the route. That
means whenever a route is changed in the netns, users of all routes in
the netns needs to redo lookup. v6 has an implementation of only
updating fn_sernum for routes that are affected.
2. When rt_cache_valid() returns false, rt_cache_route() is called to
throw away the current cache, and create a new one. This seems
unnecessary because as long as this route does not change, the route
cache does not need to be recreated.

To fully solve the above 2 issues, it probably needs quite some code
changes and requires careful testing, and does not suite for net branch.

So this patch only tries to add the deleted cached rt into the uncached
list, so user could still be able to use it to receive packets until
it's done.

[ Upstream commit 4094871db1d65810acab3d57f6089aa39ef7f648 ]

Prior to this change an application sending &lt;= 1MSS worth of data and
enabling UDP GSO would fail if the system had SW GSO enabled, but the
same send would succeed if HW GSO offload is enabled. In addition to this
inconsistency the error in the SW GSO case does not get back to the
application if sending out of a real device so the user is unaware of this
failure.

With this change we only perform GSO if the # of segments is &gt; 1 even
if the application has enabled segmentation. I've also updated the
relevant udpgso selftests.

[ Upstream commit 3256a2d6ab1f71f9a1bd2d7f6f18eb8108c48d17 ]

The cited commit exposed an old retransmits_timed_out() bug
which assumed it could call tcp_model_timeout() with
TCP_RTO_MIN as rto_base for all states.

But flows in SYN_SENT or SYN_RECV state uses a different
RTO base (1 sec instead of 200 ms, unless BPF choses
another value)

This caused a reduction of SYN retransmits from 6 to 4 with
the default /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syn_retries value.

<title>net: ipv4: avoid mixed n_redirects and rate_tokens usage</title>

[ Upstream commit b406472b5ad79ede8d10077f0c8f05505ace8b6d ]

Since commit c09551c6ff7f ("net: ipv4: use a dedicated counter
for icmp_v4 redirect packets") we use 'n_redirects' to account
for redirect packets, but we still use 'rate_tokens' to compute
the redirect packets exponential backoff.

If the device sent to the relevant peer any ICMP error packet
after sending a redirect, it will also update 'rate_token' according
to the leaking bucket schema; typically 'rate_token' will raise
above BITS_PER_LONG and the redirect packets backoff algorithm
will produce undefined behavior.

Fix the issue using 'n_redirects' to compute the exponential backoff
in ip_rt_send_redirect().

Note that we still clear rate_tokens after a redirect silence period,
to avoid changing an established behaviour.

The root cause predates git history; before the mentioned commit in
the critical scenario, the kernel stopped sending redirects, after
the mentioned commit the behavior more randomic.

[ Upstream commit 0e141f757b2c78c983df893e9993313e2dc21e38 ]

erspan driver calls ether_setup(), after commit 61e84623ace3
("net: centralize net_device min/max MTU checking"), the range
of mtu is [min_mtu, max_mtu], which is [68, 1500] by default.

It causes the dev mtu of the erspan device to not be greater
than 1500, this limit value is not correct for ipgre tap device.

Tested:
Before patch:
# ip link set erspan0 mtu 1600
Error: mtu greater than device maximum.
After patch:
# ip link set erspan0 mtu 1600
# ip -d link show erspan0
21: erspan0@NONE: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST&gt; mtu 1600 qdisc noop state DOWN
mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0 minmtu 68 maxmtu 0

<title>tcp: better handle TCP_USER_TIMEOUT in SYN_SENT state</title>

[ Upstream commit a66b10c05ee2d744189e9a2130394b070883d289 ]

Yuchung Cheng and Marek Majkowski independently reported a weird
behavior of TCP_USER_TIMEOUT option when used at connect() time.

When the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is reached, tcp_write_timeout()
believes the flow should live, and the following condition
in tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() programs one jiffie timers :

    remaining = icsk-&gt;icsk_user_timeout - elapsed;
    if (remaining &lt;= 0)
        return 1; /* user timeout has passed; fire ASAP */

This silly situation ends when the max syn rtx count is reached.

This patch makes sure we honor both TCP_SYNCNT and TCP_USER_TIMEOUT,
avoiding these spurious SYN packets.

Fixes: b701a99e431d ("tcp: Add tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() helper to improve accuracy")

[ Upstream commit 77d5bc7e6a6cf8bbeca31aab7f0c5449a5eee762 ]

Julian noted that rt_uses_gateway has a more subtle use than 'is gateway
set':
    https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/alpine.LFD.2.21.1909151104060.2546@ja.home.ssi.bg/

Revert that part of the commit referenced in the Fixes tag.

Currently, there are no u8 holes in 'struct rtable'. There is a 4-byte hole
in the second cacheline which contains the gateway declaration. So move
rt_gw_family down to the gateway declarations since they are always used
together, and then re-use that u8 for rt_uses_gateway. End result is that
rtable size is unchanged.

<title>tcp_bbr: fix quantization code to not raise cwnd if not probing bandwidth</title>

[ Upstream commit 6b3656a60f2067738d1a423328199720806f0c44 ]

There was a bug in the previous logic that attempted to ensure gain cycling
gets inflight above BDP even for small BDPs. This code correctly raised and
lowered target inflight values during the gain cycle. And this code
correctly ensured that cwnd was raised when probing bandwidth. However, it
did not correspondingly ensure that cwnd was *not* raised in this way when
*not* probing for bandwidth. The result was that small-BDP flows that were
always cwnd-bound could go for many cycles with a fixed cwnd, and not probe
or yield bandwidth at all. This meant that multiple small-BDP flows could
fail to converge in their bandwidth allocations.
