commit 158390e45612ef0fde160af0826f1740c36daf21 upstream.

The max number of UDP gso segments is intended to cap to UDP_MAX_SEGMENTS,
this is checked in udp_send_skb():

    if (skb-&gt;len &gt; cork-&gt;gso_size * UDP_MAX_SEGMENTS) {
        kfree_skb(skb);
        return -EINVAL;
    }

skb-&gt;len contains network and transport header len here, we should use
only data len instead.

<title>ipv6: fix memory leak in fib6_rule_suppress</title>

<content type='text'>
commit cdef485217d30382f3bf6448c54b4401648fe3f1 upstream.

The kernel leaks memory when a `fib` rule is present in IPv6 nftables
firewall rules and a suppress_prefix rule is present in the IPv6 routing
rules (used by certain tools such as wg-quick). In such scenarios, every
incoming packet will leak an allocation in `ip6_dst_cache` slab cache.

After some hours of `bpftrace`-ing and source code reading, I tracked
down the issue to ca7a03c41753 ("ipv6: do not free rt if
FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF is set on suppress rule").

The problem with that change is that the generic `args-&gt;flags` always have
`FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF` set[1][2] but the IPv6-specific flag
`RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF` might not be, leading to `fib6_rule_suppress` not
decreasing the refcount when needed.

How to reproduce:
 - Add the following nftables rule to a prerouting chain:
     meta nfproto ipv6 fib saddr . mark . iif oif missing drop
   This can be done with:
     sudo nft create table inet test
     sudo nft create chain inet test test_chain '{ type filter hook prerouting priority filter + 10; policy accept; }'
     sudo nft add rule inet test test_chain meta nfproto ipv6 fib saddr . mark . iif oif missing drop
 - Run:
     sudo ip -6 rule add table main suppress_prefixlength 0
 - Watch `sudo slabtop -o | grep ip6_dst_cache` to see memory usage increase
   with every incoming ipv6 packet.

This patch exposes the protocol-specific flags to the protocol
specific `suppress` function, and check the protocol-specific `flags`
argument for RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF instead of the generic
FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF when decreasing the refcount, like this.

changes to net-&gt;ipv4.fib_num_tclassid_users were protected by RTNL.

After the change, this is no longer the case, as free_fib_info_rcu()
runs after rcu grace period, without rtnl being held.

<title>tcp_cubic: fix spurious Hystart ACK train detections for not-cwnd-limited flows</title>

[ Upstream commit 4e1fddc98d2585ddd4792b5e44433dcee7ece001 ]

While testing BIG TCP patch series, I was expecting that TCP_RR workloads
with 80KB requests/answers would send one 80KB TSO packet,
then being received as a single GRO packet.

It turns out this was not happening, and the root cause was that
cubic Hystart ACK train was triggering after a few (2 or 3) rounds of RPC.

Hystart was wrongly setting CWND/SSTHRESH to 30, while my RPC
needed a budget of ~20 segments.

Ideally these TCP_RR flows should not exit slow start.

Cubic Hystart should reset itself at each round, instead of assuming
every TCP flow is a bulk one.

Note that even after this patch, Hystart can still trigger, depending
on scheduling artifacts, but at a higher CWND/SSTHRESH threshold,
keeping optimal TSO packet sizes.

Tested:

ip link set dev eth0 gro_ipv6_max_size 131072 gso_ipv6_max_size 131072
nstat -n; netperf -H ... -t TCP_RR  -l 5  -- -r 80000,80000 -K cubic; nstat|egrep "Ip6InReceives|Hystart|Ip6OutRequests"

<title>net: nexthop: release IPv6 per-cpu dsts when replacing a nexthop group</title>

<id>67a6f64a0c847a0927fb91d96abb03b3b0521394</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 1005f19b9357b81aa64e1decd08d6e332caaa284 ]

When replacing a nexthop group, we must release the IPv6 per-cpu dsts of
the removed nexthop entries after an RCU grace period because they
contain references to the nexthop's net device and to the fib6 info.
With specific series of events[1] we can reach net device refcount
imbalance which is unrecoverable. IPv4 is not affected because dsts
don't take a refcount on the route.

[1]
 $ ip nexthop list
  id 200 via 2002:db8::2 dev bridge.10 scope link onlink
  id 201 via 2002:db8::3 dev bridge scope link onlink
  id 203 group 201/200
 $ ip -6 route
  2001:db8::10 nhid 203 metric 1024 pref medium
     nexthop via 2002:db8::3 dev bridge weight 1 onlink
     nexthop via 2002:db8::2 dev bridge.10 weight 1 onlink

Create rt6_info through one of the multipath legs, e.g.:
 $ taskset -a -c 1  ./pkt_inj 24 bridge.10 2001:db8::10
 (pkt_inj is just a custom packet generator, nothing special)

Then remove that leg from the group by replace (let's assume it is id
200 in this case):
 $ ip nexthop replace id 203 group 201

Now remove the IPv6 route:
 $ ip -6 route del 2001:db8::10/128

The route won't be really deleted due to the stale rt6_info holding 1
refcnt in nexthop id 200.
At this point we have the following reference count dependency:
 (deleted) IPv6 route holds 1 reference over nhid 203
 nh 203 holds 1 ref over id 201
 nh 200 holds 1 ref over the net device and the route due to the stale
 rt6_info

Now to create circular dependency between nh 200 and the IPv6 route, and
also to get a reference over nh 200, restore nhid 200 in the group:
 $ ip nexthop replace id 203 group 201/200

And now we have a permanent circular dependncy because nhid 203 holds a
reference over nh 200 and 201, but the route holds a ref over nh 203 and
is deleted.

To trigger the bug just delete the group (nhid 203):
 $ ip nexthop del id 203

It won't really be deleted due to the IPv6 route dependency, and now we
have 2 unlinked and deleted objects that reference each other: the group
and the IPv6 route. Since the group drops the reference it holds over its
entries at free time (i.e. its own refcount needs to drop to 0) that will
never happen and we get a permanent ref on them, since one of the entries
holds a reference over the IPv6 route it will also never be released.

At this point the dependencies are:
 (deleted, only unlinked) IPv6 route holds reference over group nh 203
 (deleted, only unlinked) group nh 203 holds reference over nh 201 and 200
 nh 200 holds 1 ref over the net device and the route due to the stale
 rt6_info

This is the last point where it can be fixed by running traffic through
nh 200, and specifically through the same CPU so the rt6_info (dst) will
get released due to the IPv6 genid, that in turn will free the IPv6
route, which in turn will free the ref count over the group nh 203.

If nh 200 is deleted at this point, it will never be released due to the
ref from the unlinked group 203, it will only be unlinked:
 $ ip nexthop del id 200
 $ ip nexthop
 $

Now we can never release that stale rt6_info, we have IPv6 route with ref
over group nh 203, group nh 203 with ref over nh 200 and 201, nh 200 with
rt6_info (dst) with ref over the net device and the IPv6 route. All of
these objects are only unlinked, and cannot be released, thus they can't
release their ref counts.

[ Upstream commit 1005f19b9357b81aa64e1decd08d6e332caaa284 ]

When replacing a nexthop group, we must release the IPv6 per-cpu dsts of
the removed nexthop entries after an RCU grace period because they
contain references to the nexthop's net device and to the fib6 info.
With specific series of events[1] we can reach net device refcount
imbalance which is unrecoverable. IPv4 is not affected because dsts
don't take a refcount on the route.

[1]
 $ ip nexthop list
  id 200 via 2002:db8::2 dev bridge.10 scope link onlink
  id 201 via 2002:db8::3 dev bridge scope link onlink
  id 203 group 201/200
 $ ip -6 route
  2001:db8::10 nhid 203 metric 1024 pref medium
     nexthop via 2002:db8::3 dev bridge weight 1 onlink
     nexthop via 2002:db8::2 dev bridge.10 weight 1 onlink

Create rt6_info through one of the multipath legs, e.g.:
 $ taskset -a -c 1  ./pkt_inj 24 bridge.10 2001:db8::10
 (pkt_inj is just a custom packet generator, nothing special)

Then remove that leg from the group by replace (let's assume it is id
200 in this case):
 $ ip nexthop replace id 203 group 201

Now remove the IPv6 route:
 $ ip -6 route del 2001:db8::10/128

The route won't be really deleted due to the stale rt6_info holding 1
refcnt in nexthop id 200.
At this point we have the following reference count dependency:
 (deleted) IPv6 route holds 1 reference over nhid 203
 nh 203 holds 1 ref over id 201
 nh 200 holds 1 ref over the net device and the route due to the stale
 rt6_info

Now to create circular dependency between nh 200 and the IPv6 route, and
also to get a reference over nh 200, restore nhid 200 in the group:
 $ ip nexthop replace id 203 group 201/200

And now we have a permanent circular dependncy because nhid 203 holds a
reference over nh 200 and 201, but the route holds a ref over nh 203 and
is deleted.

To trigger the bug just delete the group (nhid 203):
 $ ip nexthop del id 203

It won't really be deleted due to the IPv6 route dependency, and now we
have 2 unlinked and deleted objects that reference each other: the group
and the IPv6 route. Since the group drops the reference it holds over its
entries at free time (i.e. its own refcount needs to drop to 0) that will
never happen and we get a permanent ref on them, since one of the entries
holds a reference over the IPv6 route it will also never be released.

At this point the dependencies are:
 (deleted, only unlinked) IPv6 route holds reference over group nh 203
 (deleted, only unlinked) group nh 203 holds reference over nh 201 and 200
 nh 200 holds 1 ref over the net device and the route due to the stale
 rt6_info

This is the last point where it can be fixed by running traffic through
nh 200, and specifically through the same CPU so the rt6_info (dst) will
get released due to the IPv6 genid, that in turn will free the IPv6
route, which in turn will free the ref count over the group nh 203.

If nh 200 is deleted at this point, it will never be released due to the
ref from the unlinked group 203, it will only be unlinked:
 $ ip nexthop del id 200
 $ ip nexthop
 $

Now we can never release that stale rt6_info, we have IPv6 route with ref
over group nh 203, group nh 203 with ref over nh 200 and 201, nh 200 with
rt6_info (dst) with ref over the net device and the IPv6 route. All of
these objects are only unlinked, and cannot be released, thus they can't
release their ref counts.

commit 1c743127cc54b112b155f434756bd4b5fa565a99 upstream.

When we try to add an IPv6 nexthop and IPv6 is not enabled
(!CONFIG_IPV6) we'll hit a NULL pointer dereference[1] in the error path
of nh_create_ipv6() due to calling ipv6_stub-&gt;fib6_nh_release. The bug
has been present since the beginning of IPv6 nexthop gateway support.
Commit 1aefd3de7bc6 ("ipv6: Add fib6_nh_init and release to stubs") tells
us that only fib6_nh_init has a dummy stub because fib6_nh_release should
not be called if fib6_nh_init returns an error, but the commit below added
a call to ipv6_stub-&gt;fib6_nh_release in its error path. To fix it return
the dummy stub's -EAFNOSUPPORT error directly without calling
ipv6_stub-&gt;fib6_nh_release in nh_create_ipv6()'s error path.

[ Upstream commit cf12e6f9124629b18a6182deefc0315f0a73a199 ]

v1: Implement a more general statement as recommended by Eric Dumazet. The
sequence number will be advanced, so this check will fix the FIN case and
other cases.

A customer reported sockets stuck in the CLOSING state. A Vmcore revealed that
the write_queue was not empty as determined by tcp_write_queue_empty() but the
sk_buff containing the FIN flag had been freed and the socket was zombied in
that state. Corresponding pcaps show no FIN from the Linux kernel on the wire.

Some instrumentation was added to the kernel and it was found that there is a
timing window where tcp_sendmsg() can run after tcp_send_fin().

tcp_sendmsg() will hit an error, for example:

1269 ▹       if (sk-&gt;sk_err || (sk-&gt;sk_shutdown &amp; SEND_SHUTDOWN))↩
1270 ▹       ▹       goto do_error;↩

tcp_remove_empty_skb() will then free the FIN sk_buff as "skb-&gt;len == 0". The
TCP socket is now wedged in the FIN-WAIT-1 state because the FIN is never sent.

If the other side sends a FIN packet the socket will transition to CLOSING and
remain that way until the system is rebooted.

Fix this by checking for the FIN flag in the sk_buff and don't free it if that
is the case. Testing confirmed that fixed the issue.

commit cd9733f5d75c94a32544d6ce5be47e14194cf137 upstream.

With two Msgs, msgA and msgB and a user doing nonblocking sendmsg calls (or
multiple cores) on a single socket 'sk' we could get the following flow.

 msgA, sk                               msgB, sk

                                         psock-&gt;eval will have msgA state

The problem here is we dropped the lock on msgA and grabbed it with msgB.
Now we have old state in psock and importantly psock-&gt;eval has not been
cleared. So msgB will run whatever action was done on A and the verdict
program may never see it.

commit cd9733f5d75c94a32544d6ce5be47e14194cf137 upstream.

With two Msgs, msgA and msgB and a user doing nonblocking sendmsg calls (or
multiple cores) on a single socket 'sk' we could get the following flow.

 msgA, sk                               msgB, sk
 -----------                            ---------------
 tcp_bpf_sendmsg()
 lock(sk)
 psock = sk-&gt;psock
                                        tcp_bpf_sendmsg()
                                        lock(sk) ... blocking

commit 6457378fe796815c973f631a1904e147d6ee33b1 upstream.

A group of security researchers brought to our attention
the weakness of hash function used in fnhe_hashfun().

Lets use siphash instead of Jenkins Hash, to considerably
reduce security risks.

Also remove the inline keyword, this really is distracting.
