[ Upstream commit d0fa59897e049e84432600e86df82aab3dce7aa5 ]

After the following commit from 2024:

commit e37ab7373696 ("tcp: fix to allow timestamp undo if no retransmits were sent")

...there was buggy behavior where TCP connections without SACK support
could easily see erroneous undo events at the end of fast recovery or
RTO recovery episodes. The erroneous undo events could cause those
connections to suffer repeated loss recovery episodes and high
retransmit rates.

The problem was an interaction between the non-SACK behavior on these
connections and the undo logic. The problem is that, for non-SACK
connections at the end of a loss recovery episode, if snd_una ==
high_seq, then tcp_is_non_sack_preventing_reopen() holds steady in
CA_Recovery or CA_Loss, but clears tp-&gt;retrans_stamp to 0. Then upon
the next ACK the "tcp: fix to allow timestamp undo if no retransmits
were sent" logic saw the tp-&gt;retrans_stamp at 0 and erroneously
concluded that no data was retransmitted, and erroneously performed an
undo of the cwnd reduction, restoring cwnd immediately to the value it
had before loss recovery.  This caused an immediate burst of traffic
and build-up of queues and likely another immediate loss recovery
episode.

This commit fixes tcp_packet_delayed() to ignore zero retrans_stamp
values for non-SACK connections when snd_una is at or above high_seq,
because tcp_is_non_sack_preventing_reopen() clears retrans_stamp in
this case, so it's not a valid signal that we can undo.

Note that the commit named in the Fixes footer restored long-present
behavior from roughly 2005-2019, so apparently this bug was present
for a while during that era, and this was simply not caught.

[ Upstream commit 1c0829788a6e6e165846b9bedd0b908ef16260b6 ]

The statistics are incremented with raw_cpu_inc() assuming it always
happens with bottom half disabled. Without per-CPU locking in
local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT this is no longer true.

Use this_cpu_inc() on PREEMPT_RT for the increment to not worry about
preemption.

[ Upstream commit b879dcb1aeeca278eacaac0b1e2425b1c7599f9f ]

tcp_rcv_rtt_update() goal is to maintain an estimation of the RTT
in tp-&gt;rcv_rtt_est.rtt_us, used by tcp_rcv_space_adjust()

When TCP TS are enabled, tcp_rcv_rtt_update() is using
EWMA to smooth the samples.

Change this to immediately latch the incoming value if it
is lower than tp-&gt;rcv_rtt_est.rtt_us, so that tcp_rcv_space_adjust()
does not overshoot tp-&gt;rcvq_space.space and sk-&gt;sk_rcvbuf.

  """
  We are seeing a use-after-free from a bpf prog attached to

The commit 83fccfc3940c ("inet: fix potential deadlock in
reqsk_queue_unlink()") added timer_pending() in reqsk_queue_unlink() not
to call del_timer_sync() from reqsk_timer_handler(), but it introduced a
small race window.

Before the timer is called, expire_timers() calls detach_timer(timer, true)
to clear timer-&gt;entry.pprev and marks it as not pending.

If reqsk_queue_unlink() checks timer_pending() just after expire_timers()
calls detach_timer(), TCP will miss del_timer_sync(); the reqsk timer will
continue running and send multiple SYN+ACKs until it expires.

The reported UAF could happen if req-&gt;sk is close()d earlier than the timer
expiration, which is 63s by default.

The scenario would be

  1. inet_csk_complete_hashdance() calls inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop(),
     but del_timer_sync() is missed

  2. reqsk timer is executed and scheduled again

  3. req-&gt;sk is accept()ed and reqsk_put() decrements rsk_refcnt, but
     reqsk timer still has another one, and inet_csk_accept() does not
     clear req-&gt;sk for non-TFO sockets

  4. sk is close()d

  5. reqsk timer is executed again, and BPF touches req-&gt;sk

Let's not use timer_pending() by passing the caller context to
__inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop().

Note that reqsk timer is pinned, so the issue does not happen in most
use cases. [1]

<title>net-timestamp: support TCP GSO case for a few missing flags</title>

[ Upstream commit 3c9231ea6497dfc50ac0ef69fff484da27d0df66 ]

When I read through the TSO codes, I found out that we probably
miss initializing the tx_flags of last seg when TSO is turned
off, which means at the following points no more timestamp
(for this last one) will be generated. There are three flags
to be handled in this patch:
1. SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP
2. SKBTX_BPF
3. SKBTX_SCHED_TSTAMP
Note that SKBTX_BPF[1] was added in 6.14.0-rc2 by commit
6b98ec7e882af ("bpf: Add BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_SCHED_CB callback")
and only belongs to net-next branch material for now. The common
issue of the above three flags can be fixed by this single patch.

This patch initializes the tx_flags to SKBTX_ANY_TSTAMP like what
the UDP GSO does to make the newly segmented last skb inherit the
tx_flags so that requested timestamp will be generated in each
certain layer, or else that last one has zero value of tx_flags
which leads to no timestamp at all.

<title>net: gso: fix ownership in __udp_gso_segment</title>

[ Upstream commit ee01b2f2d7d0010787c2343463965bbc283a497f ]

In __udp_gso_segment the skb destructor is removed before segmenting the
skb but the socket reference is kept as-is. This is an issue if the
original skb is later orphaned as we can hit the following bug:

  kernel BUG at ./include/linux/skbuff.h:3312!  (skb_orphan)
  RIP: 0010:ip_rcv_core+0x8b2/0xca0
  Call Trace:
   ip_rcv+0xab/0x6e0
   __netif_receive_skb_one_core+0x168/0x1b0
   process_backlog+0x384/0x1100
   __napi_poll.constprop.0+0xa1/0x370
   net_rx_action+0x925/0xe50

The above can happen following a sequence of events when using
OpenVSwitch, when an OVS_ACTION_ATTR_USERSPACE action precedes an
OVS_ACTION_ATTR_OUTPUT action:

1. OVS_ACTION_ATTR_USERSPACE is handled (in do_execute_actions): the skb
   goes through queue_gso_packets and then __udp_gso_segment, where its
   destructor is removed.
2. The segments' data are copied and sent to userspace.
3. OVS_ACTION_ATTR_OUTPUT is handled (in do_execute_actions) and the
   same original skb is sent to its path.
4. If it later hits skb_orphan, we hit the bug.

Fix this by also removing the reference to the socket in
__udp_gso_segment.
