[ Upstream commit 34b99df4e6256ddafb663c6de0711dceceddfe0e ]

ICMP messages can trigger ICMP and local errors. In this case
serr-&gt;port is 0 and starting from Linux 4.0 we do not return
the original target address to the error queue readers.
Add function to define which errors provide addr_offset.
With this fix my ping command is not silent anymore.

When reading from the error queue, msg_name and msg_control are only
populated for some errors. A new exception for empty timestamp skbs
added a false positive on icmp errors without payload.

`traceroute -M udpconn` only displayed gateways that return payload
with the icmp error: the embedded network headers are pulled before
sock_queue_err_skb, leaving an skb with skb-&gt;len == 0 otherwise.

Fix this regression by refining when msg_name and msg_control
branches are taken. The solutions for the two fields are independent.

msg_name only makes sense for errors that configure serr-&gt;port and
serr-&gt;addr_offset. Test the first instead of skb-&gt;len. This also fixes
another issue. saddr could hold the wrong data, as serr-&gt;addr_offset
is not initialized  in some code paths, pointing to the start of the
network header. It is only valid when serr-&gt;port is set (non-zero).

msg_control support differs between IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 only honors
requests for ICMP and timestamps with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_CMSG. The
skb-&gt;len test can simply be removed, because skb-&gt;dev is also tested
and never true for empty skbs. IPv6 honors requests for all errors
aside from local errors and timestamps on empty skbs.

In both cases, make the policy more explicit by moving this logic to
a new function that decides whether to process msg_control and that
optionally prepares the necessary fields in skb-&gt;cb[]. After this
change, the IPv4 and IPv6 paths are more similar.

The last case is rxrpc. Here, simply refine to only match timestamps.

Add timestamping option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY. For transmit
timestamps, this loops timestamps on top of empty packets.

Doing so reduces the pressure on SO_RCVBUF. Payload inspection and
cmsg reception (aside from timestamps) are no longer possible. This
works together with a follow on patch that allows administrators to
only allow tx timestamping if it does not loop payload or metadata.

<title>net-timestamp: allow reading recv cmsg on errqueue with origin tstamp</title>

<id>829ae9d611651467fe6cd7be834bd33ca6b28dfe</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow reading of timestamps and cmsg at the same time on all relevant
socket families. One use is to correlate timestamps with egress
device, by asking for cmsg IP_PKTINFO.

on AF_INET sockets, call the relevant function (ip_cmsg_recv). To
avoid changing legacy expectations, only do so if the caller sets a
new timestamping flag SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_CMSG.

on AF_INET6 sockets, IPV6_PKTINFO and all other recv cmsg are already
returned for all origins. only change is to set ifindex, which is
not initialized for all error origins.

In both cases, only generate the pktinfo message if an ifindex is
known. This is not the case for ACK timestamps.

The difference between the protocol families is probably a historical
accident as a result of the different conditions for generating cmsg
in the relevant ip(v6)_recv_error function:

ipv4:        if (serr-&gt;ee.ee_origin == SO_EE_ORIGIN_ICMP) {
ipv6:        if (serr-&gt;ee.ee_origin != SO_EE_ORIGIN_LOCAL) {

At one time, this was the same test bar for the ICMP/ICMP6
distinction. This is no longer true.

Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn &lt;willemb@google.com&gt;

----

Changes
  v1 -&gt; v2
    large rewrite
    - integrate with existing pktinfo cmsg generation code
    - on ipv4: only send with new flag, to maintain legacy behavior
    - on ipv6: send at most a single pktinfo cmsg
    - on ipv6: initialize fields if not yet initialized

The recv cmsg interfaces are also relevant to the discussion of
whether looping packet headers is problematic. For v6, cmsgs that
identify many headers are already returned. This patch expands
that to v4. If it sounds reasonable, I will follow with patches

1. request timestamps without payload with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY
   (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/366967/)
2. sysctl to conditionally drop all timestamps that have payload or
   cmsg from users without CAP_NET_RAW.

<title>net: Convert LIMIT_NETDEBUG to net_dbg_ratelimited</title>

<content type='text'>
Use the more common dynamic_debug capable net_dbg_ratelimited
and remove the LIMIT_NETDEBUG macro.

All messages are still ratelimited.

Some KERN_&lt;LEVEL&gt; uses are changed to KERN_DEBUG.

This may have some negative impact on messages that were
emitted at KERN_INFO that are not not enabled at all unless
DEBUG is defined or dynamic_debug is enabled.  Even so,
these messages are now _not_ emitted by default.

This also eliminates the use of the net_msg_warn sysctl
"/proc/sys/net/core/warnings".  For backward compatibility,
the sysctl is not removed, but it has no function.  The extern
declaration of net_msg_warn is removed from sock.h and made
static in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c

Miscellanea:

o Update the sysctl documentation
o Remove the embedded uses of pr_fmt
o Coalesce format fragments
o Realign arguments

This encapsulates all of the skb_copy_datagram_iovec() callers
with call argument signature "skb, offset, msghdr-&gt;msg_iov, length".

When we move to iov_iters in the networking, the iov_iter object will
sit in the msghdr.

Having a helper like this means there will be less places to touch
during that transformation.

Based upon descriptions and patch from Al Viro.

sk-&gt;sk_error_queue is dequeued in four locations. All share the
exact same logic. Deduplicate.

Also collapse the two critical sections for dequeue (at the top of
the recv handler) and signal (at the bottom).

This moves signal generation for the next packet forward, which should
be harmless.

It also changes the behavior if the recv handler exits early with an
error. Previously, a signal for follow-up packets on the errqueue
would then not be scheduled. The new behavior, to always signal, is
arguably a bug fix.

For rxrpc, the change causes the same function to be called repeatedly
for each queued packet (because the recv handler == sk_error_report).
It is likely that all packets will fail for the same reason (e.g.,
memory exhaustion).

This code runs without sk_lock held, so it is not safe to trust that
sk-&gt;sk_err is immutable inbetween releasing q-&gt;lock and the subsequent
test. Introduce int err just to avoid this potential race.

This patch makes no changes to the logic of the code but simply addresses
coding style issues as detected by checkpatch.

Both objdump and diff -w show no differences.

A number of items are addressed in this patch:
* Multiple spaces converted to tabs
* Spaces before tabs removed.
* Spaces in pointer typing cleansed (char *)foo etc.
* Remove space after sizeof
* Ensure spacing around comparators such as if statements.
