<title>ipvs: align inner_mac_header for encapsulation</title>

[ Upstream commit d7fce52fdf96663ddc2eb21afecff3775588612a ]

When using encapsulation the original packet's headers are copied to the
inner headers. This preserves the space for an inner mac header, which
is not used by the inner payloads for the encapsulation types supported
by IPVS. If a packet is using GUE or GRE encapsulation and needs to be
segmented, flow can be passed to __skb_udp_tunnel_segment() which
calculates a negative tunnel header length. A negative tunnel header
length causes pskb_may_pull() to fail, dropping the packet.

This can be observed by attaching probes to ip_vs_in_hook(),
__dev_queue_xmit(), and __skb_udp_tunnel_segment():

    perf probe --add '__dev_queue_xmit skb-&gt;inner_mac_header \
    skb-&gt;inner_network_header skb-&gt;mac_header skb-&gt;network_header'
    perf probe --add '__skb_udp_tunnel_segment:7 tnl_hlen'
    perf probe -m ip_vs --add 'ip_vs_in_hook skb-&gt;inner_mac_header \
    skb-&gt;inner_network_header skb-&gt;mac_header skb-&gt;network_header'

These probes the headers and tunnel header length for packets which
traverse the IPVS encapsulation path. A TCP packet can be forced into
the segmentation path by being smaller than a calculated clamped MSS,
but larger than the advertised MSS.

    probe:ip_vs_in_hook: inner_mac_header=0x0 inner_network_header=0x0 mac_header=0x44 network_header=0x52
    probe:ip_vs_in_hook: inner_mac_header=0x44 inner_network_header=0x52 mac_header=0x44 network_header=0x32
    probe:dev_queue_xmit: inner_mac_header=0x44 inner_network_header=0x52 mac_header=0x44 network_header=0x32
    probe:__skb_udp_tunnel_segment_L7: tnl_hlen=-2

When using veth-based encapsulation, the interfaces are set to be
mac-less, which does not preserve space for an inner mac header. This
prevents this issue from occurring.

In our real-world testing of sending a 32KB file we observed operation
time increasing from ~75ms for veth-based encapsulation to over 1.5s
using IPVS encapsulation due to retries from dropped packets.

This changeset modifies the packet on the encapsulation path in
ip_vs_tunnel_xmit() and ip_vs_tunnel_xmit_v6() to remove the inner mac
header offset. This fixes UDP segmentation for both encapsulation types,
and corrects the inner headers for any IPIP flows that may use it.

commit 1202cdd665315c525b5237e96e0bedc76d7e754f upstream.

DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention
from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol
history museum not in Linux kernel.

It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support
for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on
Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well.

Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling.
This means that there is still an empty neighbour table
for AF_DECNET.

The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match
current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

[ Upstream commit 24e227896bbf003165e006732dccb3516f87f88e ]

syzkaller found a repro that causes Hung Task [0] with ipset.  The repro
first creates an ipset and then tries to delete a large number of IPs
from the ipset concurrently:

  IPSET_ATTR_IPADDR_IPV4 : 172.20.20.187
  IPSET_ATTR_CIDR        : 2

The first deleting thread hogs a CPU with nfnl_lock(NFNL_SUBSYS_IPSET)
held, and other threads wait for it to be released.

Previously, the same issue existed in set-&gt;variant-&gt;uadt() that could run
so long under ip_set_lock(set).  Commit 5e29dc36bd5e ("netfilter: ipset:
Rework long task execution when adding/deleting entries") tried to fix it,
but the issue still exists in the caller with another mutex.

While adding/deleting many IPs, we should release the CPU periodically to
prevent someone from abusing ipset to hang the system.

Note we need to increment the ipset's refcnt to prevent the ipset from
being destroyed while rescheduling.

[ Upstream commit e1f543dc660b44618a1bd72ddb4ca0828a95f7ad ]

An nf_conntrack_helper from nf_conn_help may become NULL after DNAT.

Observed when TCP port 1720 (Q931_PORT), associated with h323 conntrack
helper, is DNAT'ed to another destination port (e.g. 1730), while
nfqueue is being used for final acceptance (e.g. snort).

This happenned after transition from kernel 4.14 to 5.10.161.

Workarounds:
 * keep the same port (1720) in DNAT
 * disable nfqueue
 * disable/unload h323 NAT helper

<title>treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage</title>

commit 3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911 upstream.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

<title>netfilter: ctnetlink: Support offloaded conntrack entry deletion</title>

commit 9b7c68b3911aef84afa4cbfc31bce20f10570d51 upstream.

Currently, offloaded conntrack entries (flows) can only be deleted
after they are removed from offload, which is either by timeout,
tcp state change or tc ct rule deletion. This can cause issues for
users wishing to manually delete or flush existing entries.

Support deletion of offloaded conntrack entries.

Example usage:
 # Delete all offloaded (and non offloaded) conntrack entries
 # whose source address is 1.2.3.4
 $ conntrack -D -s 1.2.3.4
 # Delete all entries
 $ conntrack -F
