commit bac76cf89816bff06c4ec2f3df97dc34e150a1c4 upstream.

We have some problem closing zero-window fin-wait-1 tcp sockets in our
environment. This patch come from the investigation.

Previously tcp_abort only sends out reset and calls tcp_done when the
socket is not SOCK_DEAD, aka orphan. For orphan socket, it will only
purging the write queue, but not close the socket and left it to the
timer.

While purging the write queue, tp-&gt;packets_out and sk-&gt;sk_write_queue
is cleared along the way. However tcp_retransmit_timer have early
return based on !tp-&gt;packets_out and tcp_probe_timer have early
return based on !sk-&gt;sk_write_queue.

This caused ICSK_TIME_RETRANS and ICSK_TIME_PROBE0 not being resched
and socket not being killed by the timers, converting a zero-windowed
orphan into a forever orphan.

This patch removes the SOCK_DEAD check in tcp_abort, making it send
reset to peer and close the socket accordingly. Preventing the
timer-less orphan from happening.

According to Lorenzo's email in the v1 thread, the check was there to
prevent force-closing the same socket twice. That situation is handled
by testing for TCP_CLOSE inside lock, and returning -ENOENT if it is
already closed.

The -ENOENT code comes from the associate patch Lorenzo made for
iproute2-ss; link attached below, which also conform to RFC 9293.

At the end of the patch, tcp_write_queue_purge(sk) is removed because it
was already called in tcp_done_with_error().

p.s. This is the same patch with v2. Resent due to mis-labeled "changes
requested" on patchwork.kernel.org.

commit 5ce4645c23cf5f048eb8e9ce49e514bababdee85 upstream.

tcp_abort() has the same issue than the one fixed in the prior patch
in tcp_write_err().

In order to get consistent results from tcp_poll(), we must call
sk_error_report() after tcp_done().

We can use tcp_done_with_error() to centralize this logic.

<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.

[ 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.

<title>tcp: Defer ts_recent changes until req is owned</title>

[ Upstream commit 8d52da23b6c68a0f6bad83959ebb61a2cf623c4e ]

Recently a bug was discovered where the server had entered TCP_ESTABLISHED
state, but the upper layers were not notified.

The same 5-tuple packet may be processed by different CPUSs, so two
CPUs may receive different ack packets at the same time when the
state is TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV.

In that case, req-&gt;ts_recent in tcp_check_req may be changed concurrently,
which will probably cause the newsk's ts_recent to be incorrectly large.
So that tcp_validate_incoming will fail. At this point, newsk will not be
able to enter the TCP_ESTABLISHED.

cpu1                                    cpu2
tcp_check_req
                                        tcp_check_req
 req-&gt;ts_recent = rcv_tsval = t1
                                         req-&gt;ts_recent = rcv_tsval = t2

 syn_recv_sock
  tcp_sk(child)-&gt;rx_opt.ts_recent = req-&gt;ts_recent = t2 // t1 &lt; t2
tcp_child_process
 tcp_rcv_state_process
  tcp_validate_incoming
   tcp_paws_check
    if ((s32)(rx_opt-&gt;ts_recent - rx_opt-&gt;rcv_tsval) &lt;= paws_win)
        // t2 - t1 &gt; paws_win, failed
                                        tcp_v4_do_rcv
                                         tcp_rcv_state_process
                                         // TCP_ESTABLISHED

The cpu2's skb or a newly received skb will call tcp_v4_do_rcv to get
the newsk into the TCP_ESTABLISHED state, but at this point it is no
longer possible to notify the upper layer application. A notification
mechanism could be added here, but the fix is more complex, so the
current fix is used.

In tcp_check_req, req-&gt;ts_recent is used to assign a value to
tcp_sk(child)-&gt;rx_opt.ts_recent, so removing the change in req-&gt;ts_recent
and changing tcp_sk(child)-&gt;rx_opt.ts_recent directly after owning the
req fixes this bug.

[ Upstream commit 7e863e5db6185b1add0df4cb01b31a4ed1c4b738 ]

Pass a dscp_t variable to ip_route_input(), instead of a plain u8, to
prevent accidental setting of ECN bits in -&gt;flowi4_tos.

Callers of ip_route_input() to consider are:

  * input_action_end_dx4_finish() and input_action_end_dt4() in
    net/ipv6/seg6_local.c. These functions set the tos parameter to 0,
    which is already a valid dscp_t value, so they don't need to be
    adjusted for the new prototype.

  * icmp_route_lookup(), which already has a dscp_t variable to pass as
    parameter. We just need to remove the inet_dscp_to_dsfield()
    conversion.

  * br_nf_pre_routing_finish(), ip_options_rcv_srr() and ip4ip6_err(),
    which get the DSCP directly from IPv4 headers. Define a helper to
    read the .tos field of struct iphdr as dscp_t, so that these
    function don't have to do the conversion manually.

While there, declare *iph as const in br_nf_pre_routing_finish(),
declare its local variables in reverse-christmas-tree order and move
the "err = ip_route_input()" assignment out of the conditional to avoid
checkpatch warning.

The function is called to resolve a route for an ICMP message that is
sent in response to a situation. Based on the type of the generated ICMP
message, the function is either passed the DS field of the packet that
generated the ICMP message or a DS field that is derived from it.

Unmask the upper DSCP bits before resolving and output route via
ip_route_output_key_hash() so that in the future the lookup could be
performed according to the full DSCP value.

Align the ICMP code to other callers of ip_route_input() and pass the
full DS field. In the future this will allow us to perform a route
lookup according to the full DSCP value.

No functional changes intended since the upper DSCP bits are masked when
comparing against the TOS selectors in FIB rules and routes.

<title>net/ipv4: add tracepoint for icmp_send</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit db3efdcf70c752e8a8deb16071d8e693c3ef8746 ]

Introduce a tracepoint for icmp_send, which can help users to get more
detail information conveniently when icmp abnormal events happen.

1. Giving an usecase example:
=============================
When an application experiences packet loss due to an unreachable UDP
destination port, the kernel will send an exception message through the
icmp_send function. By adding a trace point for icmp_send, developers or
system administrators can obtain detailed information about the UDP
packet loss, including the type, code, source address, destination address,
source port, and destination port. This facilitates the trouble-shooting
of UDP packet loss issues especially for those network-service
applications.

2. Operation Instructions:
==========================
Switch to the tracing directory.
        cd /sys/kernel/tracing
Filter for destination port unreachable.
        echo "type==3 &amp;&amp; code==3" &gt; events/icmp/icmp_send/filter
Enable trace event.
        echo 1 &gt; events/icmp/icmp_send/enable

3. Result View:
================
 udp_client_erro-11370   [002] ...s.12   124.728002:
 icmp_send: icmp_send: type=3, code=3.
 From 127.0.0.1:41895 to 127.0.0.1:6666 ulen=23
