<title>net: Replace the limit of TCP_LINGER2 with TCP_FIN_TIMEOUT_MAX</title>

[ Upstream commit f0628c524fd188c3f9418e12478dfdfadacba815 ]

This patch changes the behavior of TCP_LINGER2 about its limit. The
sysctl_tcp_fin_timeout used to be the limit of TCP_LINGER2 but now it's
only the default value. A new macro named TCP_FIN_TIMEOUT_MAX is added
as the limit of TCP_LINGER2, which is 2 minutes.

Since TCP_LINGER2 used sysctl_tcp_fin_timeout as the default value
and the limit in the past, the system administrator cannot set the
default value for most of sockets and let some sockets have a greater
timeout. It might be a mistake that let the sysctl to be the limit of
the TCP_LINGER2. Maybe we can add a new sysctl to set the max of
TCP_LINGER2, but FIN-WAIT-2 timeout is usually no need to be too long
and 2 minutes are legal considering TCP specs.

Changes in v3:
- Remove the new socket option and change the TCP_LINGER2 behavior so
  that the timeout can be set to value between sysctl_tcp_fin_timeout
  and 2 minutes.

Changes in v2:
- Add int overflow check for the new socket option.

Changes in v1:
- Add a new socket option to set timeout greater than
  sysctl_tcp_fin_timeout.

<title>Revert "tcp: avoid the lookup process failing to get sk in ehash table"</title>

[ Upstream commit 81b3ade5d2b98ad6e0a473b0e1e420a801275592 ]

This reverts commit 3f4ca5fafc08881d7a57daa20449d171f2887043.

Commit 3f4ca5fafc08 ("tcp: avoid the lookup process failing to get sk in
ehash table") reversed the order in how a socket is inserted into ehash
to fix an issue that ehash-lookup could fail when reqsk/full sk/twsk are
swapped.  However, it introduced another lookup failure.

The full socket in ehash is allocated from a slab with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU
and does not have SOCK_RCU_FREE, so the socket could be reused even while
it is being referenced on another CPU doing RCU lookup.

Let's say a socket is reused and inserted into the same hash bucket during
lookup.  After the blamed commit, a new socket is inserted at the end of
the list.  If that happens, we will skip sockets placed after the previous
position of the reused socket, resulting in ehash lookup failure.

As described in Documentation/RCU/rculist_nulls.rst, we should insert a
new socket at the head of the list to avoid such an issue.

This issue, the swap-lookup-failure, and another variant reported in [0]
can all be handled properly by adding a locked ehash lookup suggested by
Eric Dumazet [1].

However, this issue could occur for every packet, thus more likely than
the other two races, so let's revert the change for now.

[ Upstream commit f015b900bc3285322029b4a7d132d6aeb0e51857 ]

With offloading enabled, esp_xmit() gets invoked very late, from within
validate_xmit_xfrm() which is after validate_xmit_skb() validates and
linearizes the skb if the underlying device does not support fragments.

esp_output_tail() may add a fragment to the skb while adding the auth
tag/ IV. Devices without the proper support will then send skb-&gt;data
points to with the correct length so the packet will have garbage at the
end. A pcap sniffer will claim that the proper data has been sent since
it parses the skb properly.

It is not affected with INET_ESP_OFFLOAD disabled.

Linearize the skb after offloading if the sending hardware requires it.
It was tested on v4, v6 has been adopted.

esp_output_tail() may add a fragment to the skb while adding the auth
tag/ IV. Devices without the proper support will then send skb-&gt;data
points to with the correct length so the packet will have garbage at the
end. A pcap sniffer will claim that the proper data has been sent since
it parses the skb properly.

It is not affected with INET_ESP_OFFLOAD disabled.

Linearize the skb after offloading if the sending hardware requires it.
It was tested on v4, v6 has been adopted.

commit 3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911 upstream.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.
