[ Upstream commit eb73190f4fbeedf762394e92d6a4ec9ace684c88 ]

syzbot was able to trick af_packet again [1]

Various commits tried to address the problem in the past,
but failed to take into account V3 header size.

Commit b84bbaf7a6c8 ("packet: in packet_snd start writing at link
layer allocation") ensures that packet_snd always starts writing
the link layer header in reserved headroom allocated for this
purpose.

This is needed because packets may be shorter than hard_header_len,
in which case the space up to hard_header_len may be zeroed. But
that necessary padding is not accounted for in skb-&gt;len.

The fix, however, is buggy. It calls skb_push, which grows skb-&gt;len
when moving skb-&gt;data back. But in this case packet length should not
change.

Instead, call skb_reserve, which moves both skb-&gt;data and skb-&gt;tail
back, without changing length.

Packet sockets allow construction of packets shorter than
dev-&gt;hard_header_len to accommodate protocols with variable length
link layer headers. These packets are padded to dev-&gt;hard_header_len,
because some device drivers interpret that as a minimum packet size.

packet_snd reserves dev-&gt;hard_header_len bytes on allocation.
SOCK_DGRAM sockets call skb_push in dev_hard_header() to ensure that
link layer headers are stored in the reserved range. SOCK_RAW sockets
do the same in tpacket_snd, but not in packet_snd.

Syzbot was able to send a zero byte packet to a device with massive
116B link layer header, causing padding to cross over into skb_shinfo.
Fix this by writing from the start of the llheader reserved range also
in the case of packet_snd/SOCK_RAW.

Update skb_set_network_header to the new offset. This also corrects
it for SOCK_DGRAM, where it incorrectly double counted reserve due to
the skb_push in dev_hard_header.

Updates to the bitfields in struct packet_sock are not atomic.
Serialize these read-modify-write cycles.

Move po-&gt;running into a separate variable. Its writes are protected by
po-&gt;bind_lock (except for one startup case at packet_create). Also
replace a textual precondition warning with lockdep annotation.

All others are set only in packet_setsockopt. Serialize these
updates by holding the socket lock. Analogous to other field updates,
also hold the lock when testing whether a ring is active (pg_vec).

In order to remove the race caught by syzbot [1], we need
to lock the socket before using po-&gt;tp_version as this could
change under us otherwise.

This means lock_sock() and release_sock() must be done by
packet_set_ring() callers.

In order to remove the race caught by syzbot [1], we need
to lock the socket before using po-&gt;tp_version as this could
change under us otherwise.

This means lock_sock() and release_sock() must be done by
packet_set_ring() callers.

Synchronous pernet_operations are not allowed anymore.
All are asynchronous. So, drop the structure member.

These pernet_operations just create and destroy /proc entry,
and another operations do not touch it.

Also, nobody else are interested in foreign net::packet::sklist.

<title>net: make getname() functions return length rather than use int* parameter</title>

Changes since v1:
Added changes in these files:
    drivers/infiniband/hw/usnic/usnic_transport.c
    drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/lnet/lib-socket.c
    drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target_login.c
    drivers/vhost/net.c
    fs/dlm/lowcomms.c
    fs/ocfs2/cluster/tcp.c
    security/tomoyo/network.c

Before:
All these functions either return a negative error indicator,
or store length of sockaddr into "int *socklen" parameter
and return zero on success.

"int *socklen" parameter is awkward. For example, if caller does not
care, it still needs to provide on-stack storage for the value
it does not need.

None of the many FOO_getname() functions of various protocols
ever used old value of *socklen. They always just overwrite it.

This change drops this parameter, and makes all these functions, on success,
return length of sockaddr. It's always &gt;= 0 and can be differentiated
from an error.

Tests in callers are changed from "if (err)" to "if (err &lt; 0)", where needed.

rpc_sockname() lost "int buflen" parameter, since its only use was
to be passed to kernel_getsockname() as &amp;buflen and subsequently
not used in any way.

Userspace API is not changed.

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.
