commit eb90b0c734ad793d5f5bf230a9e9a4dcc48df8aa upstream.

commit fc604767613b6d2036cdc35b660bc39451040a47
("ipvs: changes for local real server") from 2.6.37
introduced DNAT support to local real server but the
IPv6 LOCAL_OUT handler ip_vs_local_reply6() is
registered incorrectly as IPv4 hook causing any outgoing
IPv4 traffic to be dropped depending on the IP header values.

Chris tracked down the problem to CONFIG_IP_VS_IPV6=y

<title>ipvs: Maintain all DSCP and ECN bits for ipv6 tun forwarding</title>

commit 76f084bc10004b3050b2cff9cfac29148f1f6088 upstream.

Previously, only the four high bits of the tclass were maintained in the
ipv6 case.  This matches the behavior of ipv4, though whether or not we
should reflect ECN bits may be up for debate.

commit 8f4e0a18682d91 ("IPVS netns exit causes crash in conntrack")
added second ip_vs_conn_drop_conntrack call instead of just adding
the needed check. As result, the first call still can cause
crash on netns exit. Remove it.

<title>inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count</title>

[ Upstream commit 73f156a6e8c1074ac6327e0abd1169e95eb66463 ]

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.

linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.

1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes

2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
   with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.

3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
   is about 20.

4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
   not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
   the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())

5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.

IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'

Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
with a recycled ID.

We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
as a key.

ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
belongs (it is only used from this file)

secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.

Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.

commit f44a5f45f544561302e855e7bd104e5f506ec01b upstream.

Receiving a ICMP response to an IPIP packet in a non-linear skb could
cause a kernel panic in __skb_pull.

The problem was introduced in
commit f2edb9f7706dcb2c0d9a362b2ba849efe3a97f5e ("ipvs: implement
passive PMTUD for IPIP packets").

[ Upstream commit 9802d21e7a0b0d2167ef745edc1f4ea7a0fc6ea3 ]

The tot_stats estimator is started only when CONFIG_SYSCTL
is defined. But it is stopped without checking CONFIG_SYSCTL.
Fix the crash by moving ip_vs_stop_estimator into
ip_vs_control_net_cleanup_sysctl.

The change is needed after commit 14e405461e664b
("IPVS: Add __ip_vs_control_{init,cleanup}_sysctl()") from 2.6.39.

commit 2a971354e74f3837d14b9c8d7f7983b0c9c330e4 upstream.

If a fwmark is passed to ip_vs_conn_new(), it is passed in
vaddr, not daddr. Therefore we should set AF to AF_UNSPEC in
vaddr assignment (like we do in ip_vs_ct_in_get()), otherwise we
may copy only first 4 bytes of an IPv6 address into cp-&gt;daddr.

<title>netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs</title>

[ Upstream commit 6aafeef03b9d9ecf255f3a80ed85ee070260e1ae ]

Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example
for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following
example:

&lt;example&gt;
On HOSTA do:
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT

and on HOSTB you do:
ping6 HOSTA -s2000    (MTU is 1500)

Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does
not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen)
&lt;/example&gt;

As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use
reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side
effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams
dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed.

Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c
entirely and use code in net/ipv6/reassembly.c instead.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for your net
tree, they are:

* Fix BUG_ON splat due to malformed TCP packets seen by synproxy, from
  Patrick McHardy.

* Fix possible weight overflow in lblc and lblcr schedulers due to
  32-bits arithmetics, from Simon Kirby.

* Fix possible memory access race in the lblc and lblcr schedulers,
  introduced when it was converted to use RCU, two patches from
  Julian Anastasov.

* Fix hard dependency on CPU 0 when reading per-cpu stats in the
  rate estimator, from Julian Anastasov.

* Fix race that may lead to object use after release, when invoking

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for your net
tree, they are:

* Fix BUG_ON splat due to malformed TCP packets seen by synproxy, from
  Patrick McHardy.

* Fix possible weight overflow in lblc and lblcr schedulers due to
  32-bits arithmetics, from Simon Kirby.

* Fix possible memory access race in the lblc and lblcr schedulers,
  introduced when it was converted to use RCU, two patches from
  Julian Anastasov.

* Fix hard dependency on CPU 0 when reading per-cpu stats in the
  rate estimator, from Julian Anastasov.

If local fragmentation is allowed, then ip_select_ident() and
ip_select_ident_more() need to generate unique IDs to ensure
correct defragmentation on the peer.

For example, if IPsec (tunnel mode) has to encrypt large skbs
that have local_df bit set, then all IP fragments that belonged
to different ESP datagrams would have used the same identificator.
If one of these IP fragments would get lost or reordered, then
peer could possibly stitch together wrong IP fragments that did
not belong to the same datagram. This would lead to a packet loss
or data corruption.
