[ Upstream commit 6e828dc60e509b79ef09882264952f341cb58425 ]

Since commit a36e185e8c85
("udp: Handle ICMP errors for tunnels with same destination port on both endpoints")
UDP's handling of ICMP errors has allowed for UDP-encap tunnels to
determine socket associations in scenarios where the UDP hash lookup
could not.

Subsequently, commit d26796ae58940
("udp: check udp sock encap_type in __udp_lib_err")
subtly tweaked the approach such that UDP ICMP error handling would be
skipped for any UDP socket which has encapsulation enabled.

In the case of L2TP tunnel sockets using UDP-encap, this latter
modification effectively broke ICMP error reporting for the L2TP
control plane.

To a degree this isn't catastrophic inasmuch as the L2TP control
protocol defines a reliable transport on top of the underlying packet
switching network which will eventually detect errors and time out.

However, paying attention to the ICMP error reporting allows for more
timely detection of errors in L2TP userspace, and aids in debugging
connectivity issues.

Reinstate ICMP error handling for UDP encap L2TP tunnels:

 * implement struct udp_tunnel_sock_cfg .encap_err_rcv in order to allow
   the L2TP code to handle ICMP errors;

 * only implement error-handling for tunnels which have a managed
   socket: unmanaged tunnels using a kernel socket have no userspace to
   report errors back to;

 * flag the error on the socket, which allows for userspace to get an
   error such as -ECONNREFUSED back from sendmsg/recvmsg;

 * pass the error into ip[v6]_icmp_error() which allows for userspace to
   get extended error information via. MSG_ERRQUEUE.

[ Upstream commit 42f853b42899d9b445763b55c3c8adc72be0f0e1 ]

Drop the flow-hash of the skb when forwarding to the L2TP netdev.

This avoids the L2TP qdisc from using the flow-hash from the outer
packet, which is identical for every flow within the tunnel.

This does not affect every platform but is specific for the ethernet
driver. It depends on the platform including L4 information in the
flow-hash.

One such example is the Mediatek Filogic MT798x family of networking
processors.

[ Upstream commit 955e9876ba4ee26eeaab1b13517f5b2c88e73d55 ]

The 'len' variable can't be negative when assigned the result of
'min_t' because all 'min_t' parameters are cast to unsigned int,
and then the minimum one is chosen.

To fix the logic, check 'len' as read from 'optlen',
where the types of relevant variables are (signed) int.

<title>l2tp: pass correct message length to ip6_append_data</title>

l2tp_ip6_sendmsg needs to avoid accounting for the transport header
twice when splicing more data into an already partially-occupied skbuff.

To manage this, we check whether the skbuff contains data using
skb_queue_empty when deciding how much data to append using
ip6_append_data.

However, the code which performed the calculation was incorrect:

     ulen = len + skb_queue_empty(&amp;sk-&gt;sk_write_queue) ? transhdrlen : 0;

...due to C operator precedence, this ends up setting ulen to
transhdrlen for messages with a non-zero length, which results in
corrupted packets on the wire.

Add parentheses to correct the calculation in line with the original
intent.

Including the transhdrlen in length is a problem when the packet is
partially filled (e.g. something like send(MSG_MORE) happened previously)
when appending to an IPv4 or IPv6 packet as we don't want to repeat the
transport header or account for it twice.  This can happen under some
circumstances, such as splicing into an L2TP socket.

The symptom observed is a warning in __ip6_append_data():

    WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5042 at net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1800 __ip6_append_data.isra.0+0x1be8/0x47f0 net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1800

that occurs when MSG_SPLICE_PAGES is used to append more data to an already
partially occupied skbuff.  The warning occurs when 'copy' is larger than
the amount of data in the message iterator.  This is because the requested
length includes the transport header length when it shouldn't.  This can be
triggered by, for example:

        sfd = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_L2TP);
        bind(sfd, ...); // ::1
        connect(sfd, ...); // ::1 port 7
        send(sfd, buffer, 4100, MSG_MORE);
        sendfile(sfd, dfd, NULL, 1024);

Fix this by only adding transhdrlen into the length if the write queue is
empty in l2tp_ip6_sendmsg(), analogously to how UDP does things.

l2tp_ip_sendmsg() looks like it won't suffer from this problem as it builds
the UDP packet itself.

Core networking has opt-in atomic variant of dev-&gt;stats,
simply use DEV_STATS_INC(), DEV_STATS_ADD() and DEV_STATS_READ().

v2: removed @priv local var in l2tp_eth_dev_recv() (Simon)

np-&gt;sndflow reads are racy.

Use one bit ftom atomic inet-&gt;inet_flags instead,
IPV6_FLOWINFO_SEND setsockopt() can be lockless.
