[ Upstream commit cc00bcaa589914096edef7fb87ca5cee4a166b5c ]

When running concurrent iptables rules replacement with data, the per CPU
sequence count is checked after the assignment of the new information.
The sequence count is used to synchronize with the packet path without the
use of any explicit locking. If there are any packets in the packet path using
the table information, the sequence count is incremented to an odd value and
is incremented to an even after the packet process completion.

The new table value assignment is followed by a write memory barrier so every
CPU should see the latest value. If the packet path has started with the old
table information, the sequence counter will be odd and the iptables
replacement will wait till the sequence count is even prior to freeing the
old table info.

However, this assumes that the new table information assignment and the memory
barrier is actually executed prior to the counter check in the replacement
thread. If CPU decides to execute the assignment later as there is no user of
the table information prior to the sequence check, the packet path in another
CPU may use the old table information. The replacement thread would then free
the table information under it leading to a use after free in the packet
processing context-

This could be fixed by forcing instruction order after the new table

[ Upstream commit 832ba596494b2c9eac7760259eff2d8b7dcad0ee ]

syzkaller managed to crash the kernel using an NBMA ip6gre interface. I
could reproduce it creating an NBMA ip6gre interface and forwarding
traffic to it:

  skbuff: skb_under_panic: text:ffffffff8250e927 len:148 put:44 head:ffff8c03c7a33
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:109!
  Call Trace:
  skb_push+0x10/0x10
  ip6gre_header+0x47/0x1b0
  neigh_connected_output+0xae/0xf0

ip6gre tunnel provides its own header_ops-&gt;create, and sets it
conditionally when initializing the tunnel in NBMA mode. When
header_ops-&gt;create is used, dev-&gt;hard_header_len should reflect the
length of the header created. Otherwise, when not used,
dev-&gt;needed_headroom should be used.

[ Upstream commit 8cf8821e15cd553339a5b48ee555a0439c2b2742 ]

Commit 58956317c8de ("neighbor: Improve garbage collection")
guarantees neighbour table entries a five-second lifetime.  Processes
which make heavy use of multicast can fill the neighour table with
multicast addresses in five seconds.  At that point, neighbour entries
can't be GC-ed because they aren't five seconds old yet, the kernel
log starts to fill up with "neighbor table overflow!" messages, and
sends start to fail.

This patch allows multicast addresses to be thrown out before they've
lived out their five seconds.  This makes room for non-multicast
addresses and makes messages to all addresses more reliable in these
circumstances.

[ Upstream commit 909172a149749242990a6e64cb55d55460d4e417 ]

When net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies=1 and syn flood is happened,
cookie_v4_check or cookie_v6_check tries to redo what
tcp_v4_send_synack or tcp_v6_send_synack did,
rsk_window_clamp will be changed if SOCK_RCVBUF is set,
which will make rcv_wscale is different, the client
still operates with initial window scale and can overshot
granted window, the client use the initial scale but local
server use new scale to advertise window value, and session
work abnormally.

<title>IPv6: Set SIT tunnel hard_header_len to zero</title>

[ Upstream commit 8ef9ba4d666614497a057d09b0a6eafc1e34eadf ]

Due to the legacy usage of hard_header_len for SIT tunnels while
already using infrastructure from net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.c the
calculation of the path MTU in tnl_update_pmtu is incorrect.
This leads to unnecessary creation of MTU exceptions for any
flow going over a SIT tunnel.

As SIT tunnels do not have a header themsevles other than their
transport (L3, L2) headers we're leaving hard_header_len set to zero
as tnl_update_pmtu is already taking care of the transport headers
sizes.

This will also help avoiding unnecessary IPv6 GC runs and spinlock
contention seen when using SIT tunnels and for more than
net.ipv6.route.gc_thresh flows.

<title>netfilter: use actual socket sk rather than skb sk when routing harder</title>

[ Upstream commit 46d6c5ae953cc0be38efd0e469284df7c4328cf8 ]

If netfilter changes the packet mark when mangling, the packet is
rerouted using the route_me_harder set of functions. Prior to this
commit, there's one big difference between route_me_harder and the
ordinary initial routing functions, described in the comment above
__ip_queue_xmit():

   /* Note: skb-&gt;sk can be different from sk, in case of tunnels */
   int __ip_queue_xmit(struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb, struct flowi *fl,

That function goes on to correctly make use of sk-&gt;sk_bound_dev_if,
rather than skb-&gt;sk-&gt;sk_bound_dev_if. And indeed the comment is true: a
tunnel will receive a packet in ndo_start_xmit with an initial skb-&gt;sk.
It will make some transformations to that packet, and then it will send
the encapsulated packet out of a *new* socket. That new socket will
basically always have a different sk_bound_dev_if (otherwise there'd be
a routing loop). So for the purposes of routing the encapsulated packet,
the routing information as it pertains to the socket should come from
that socket's sk, rather than the packet's original skb-&gt;sk. For that
reason __ip_queue_xmit() and related functions all do the right thing.

One might argue that all tunnels should just call skb_orphan(skb) before
transmitting the encapsulated packet into the new socket. But tunnels do
*not* do this -- and this is wisely avoided in skb_scrub_packet() too --
because features like TSQ rely on skb-&gt;destructor() being called when
that buffer space is truely available again. Calling skb_orphan(skb) too
early would result in buffers filling up unnecessarily and accounting
info being all wrong. Instead, additional routing must take into account
the new sk, just as __ip_queue_xmit() notes.

So, this commit addresses the problem by fishing the correct sk out of
state-&gt;sk -- it's already set properly in the call to nf_hook() in
__ip_local_out(), which receives the sk as part of its normal
functionality. So we make sure to plumb state-&gt;sk through the various
route_me_harder functions, and then make correct use of it following the
example of __ip_queue_xmit().
