commit 2efdaaaf883a143061296467913c01aa1ff4b3ce upstream.

Based on RFC 8200, Section 4.5 Fragment Header:

  -  If the first fragment does not include all headers through an
     Upper-Layer header, then that fragment should be discarded and
     an ICMP Parameter Problem, Code 3, message should be sent to
     the source of the fragment, with the Pointer field set to zero.

Checking each packet header in IPv6 fast path will have performance impact,
so I put the checking in ipv6_frag_rcv().

As the packet may be any kind of L4 protocol, I only checked some common
protocols' header length and handle others by (offset + 1) &gt; skb-&gt;len.
Also use !(frag_off &amp; htons(IP6_OFFSET)) to catch atomic fragments
(fragmented packet with only one fragment).

When send ICMP error message, if the 1st truncated fragment is ICMP message,
icmp6_send() will break as is_ineligible() return true. So I added a check
in is_ineligible() to let fragment packet with nexthdr ICMP but no ICMP header
return false.

commit ceed9038b2783d14e0422bdc6fd04f70580efb4c upstream.

The multicast route ff00::/8 is created with type RTN_UNICAST:

  $ ip -6 -d route
  unicast ::1 dev lo proto kernel scope global metric 256 pref medium
  unicast fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel scope global metric 256 pref medium
  unicast ff00::/8 dev eth0 proto kernel scope global metric 256 pref medium

Set the type to RTN_MULTICAST which is more appropriate.

commit a826b04303a40d52439aa141035fca5654ccaccd upstream.

The ff00::/8 multicast route is created without specifying the fc_protocol
field, so the default RTPROT_BOOT value is used:

  $ ip -6 -d route
  unicast ::1 dev lo proto kernel scope global metric 256 pref medium
  unicast fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel scope global metric 256 pref medium
  unicast ff00::/8 dev eth0 proto boot scope global metric 256 pref medium

As the documentation says, this value identifies routes installed during
boot, but the route is created when interface is set up.
Change the value to RTPROT_KERNEL which is a better value.

[ Upstream commit 9bd6b629c39e3fa9e14243a6d8820492be1a5b2e ]

esp(6)_output_head uses skb_page_frag_refill to allocate a buffer for
the esp trailer.

It accesses the page with kmap_atomic to handle highmem. But
skb_page_frag_refill can return compound pages, of which
kmap_atomic only maps the first underlying page.

skb_page_frag_refill does not return highmem, because flag
__GFP_HIGHMEM is not set. ESP uses it in the same manner as TCP.
That also does not call kmap_atomic, but directly uses page_address,
in skb_copy_to_page_nocache. Do the same for ESP.

This issue has become easier to trigger with recent kmap local
debugging feature CONFIG_DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL_FORCE_MAP.

[ Upstream commit b210de4f8c97d57de051e805686248ec4c6cfc52 ]

There are cases where GSO segment's length exceeds the egress MTU:
 - Forwarding of a TCP GRO skb, when DF flag is not set.
 - Forwarding of an skb that arrived on a virtualisation interface
   (virtio-net/vhost/tap) with TSO/GSO size set by other network
   stack.
 - Local GSO skb transmitted on an NETIF_F_TSO tunnel stacked over an
   interface with a smaller MTU.
 - Arriving GRO skb (or GSO skb in a virtualised environment) that is
   bridged to a NETIF_F_TSO tunnel stacked over an interface with an
   insufficient MTU.

If so:
 - Consume the SKB and its segments.
 - Issue an ICMP packet with 'Packet Too Big' message containing the
   MTU, allowing the source host to reduce its Path MTU appropriately.

Note: These cases are handled in the same manner in IPv4 output finish.
This patch aligns the behavior of IPv6 and the one of IPv4.

[ Upstream commit d8f5c29653c3f6995e8979be5623d263e92f6b86 ]

Route removal is handled by two code paths. The main removal path is via
fib6_del_route() which will handle purging any PMTU exceptions from the
cache, removing all per-cpu copies of the DST entry used by the route, and
releasing the fib6_info struct.

The second removal location is during fib6_add_rt2node() during a route
replacement operation. This path also calls fib6_purge_rt() to handle
cleaning up the per-cpu copies of the DST entries and releasing the
fib6_info associated with the older route, but it does not flush any PMTU
exceptions that the older route had. Since the older route is removed from
the tree during the replacement, we lose any way of accessing it again.

As these lingering DSTs and the fib6_info struct are holding references to
the underlying netdevice struct as well, unregistering that device from the
kernel can never complete.

[ 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
information assignment or by switching to RCU for the synchronization.

<title>net: ip6_gre: set dev-&gt;hard_header_len when using header_ops</title>

[ 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.
