commit aea92fb2e09e29653b023d4254ac9fbf94221538 upstream.

skb_cow(skb, sizeof(ip header)) is not very helpful in this context.

First we need to use pskb_may_pull() to make sure the ip header
is in skb linear part, then use skb_try_make_writable() to
address clones issues.

commit 3697649ff29e0f647565eed04b27a7779c646a22 upstream.

When we're dealing with clones and the area is not writeable, try
harder and get a copy via pskb_expand_head(). Replace also other
occurences in tc actions with the new skb_try_make_writable().

<title>net sched actions: decrement module reference count after table flush.</title>

commit edb9d1bff4bbe19b8ae0e71b1f38732591a9eeb2 upstream.

When tc actions are loaded as a module and no actions have been installed,
flushing them would result in actions removed from the memory, but modules
reference count not being decremented, so that the modules would not be
unloaded.

Following is example with GACT action:

% sudo modprobe act_gact
% lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
act_gact               16384  0
%
% sudo tc actions ls action gact
%
% sudo tc actions flush action gact
% lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
act_gact               16384  1

act_gact               16384  2
% sudo rmmod act_gact
rmmod: ERROR: Module act_gact is in use
....

After the fix:
% lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
act_gact               16384  0

Add a validation function to make sure offset is valid:
1. Not below skb head (could happen when offset is negative).
2. Validate both 'offset' and 'at'.

We saw qlen!=0 but backlog==0 on our production machine:

qdisc htb 1: dev eth0 root refcnt 2 r2q 10 default 1 direct_packets_stat 0 ver 3.17
 Sent 172680457356 bytes 222469449 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 123575834 requeues 0)
 backlog 0b 72p requeues 0

The problem is we only count qlen for HTB qdisc but not backlog.
We need to update backlog too when we update qlen, so that we
can at least know the average packet length.

<title>net, sched: fix soft lockup in tc_classify</title>

commit 628185cfddf1dfb701c4efe2cfd72cf5b09f5702 upstream.

Shahar reported a soft lockup in tc_classify(), where we run into an
endless loop when walking the classifier chain due to tp-&gt;next == tp
which is a state we should never run into. The issue only seems to
trigger under load in the tc control path.

What happens is that in tc_ctl_tfilter(), thread A allocates a new
tp, initializes it, sets tp_created to 1, and calls into tp-&gt;ops-&gt;change()
with it. In that classifier callback we had to unlock/lock the rtnl
mutex and returned with -EAGAIN. One reason why we need to drop there
is, for example, that we need to request an action module to be loaded.

This happens via tcf_exts_validate() -&gt; tcf_action_init/_1() meaning
after we loaded and found the requested action, we need to redo the
whole request so we don't race against others. While we had to unlock
rtnl in that time, thread B's request was processed next on that CPU.
Thread B added a new tp instance successfully to the classifier chain.
When thread A returned grabbing the rtnl mutex again, propagating -EAGAIN
and destroying its tp instance which never got linked, we goto replay
and redo A's request.

This time when walking the classifier chain in tc_ctl_tfilter() for
checking for existing tp instances we had a priority match and found
the tp instance that was created and linked by thread B. Now calling
again into tp-&gt;ops-&gt;change() with that tp was successful and returned
without error.

tp_created was never cleared in the second round, thus kernel thinks
that we need to link it into the classifier chain (once again). tp and
*back point to the same object due to the match we had earlier on. Thus
for thread B's already public tp, we reset tp-&gt;next to tp itself and
link it into the chain, which eventually causes the mentioned endless
loop in tc_classify() once a packet hits the data path.

Fix is to clear tp_created at the beginning of each request, also when
we replay it. On the paths that can cause -EAGAIN we already destroy
the original tp instance we had and on replay we really need to start
from scratch. It seems that this issue was first introduced in commit
12186be7d2e1 ("net_cls: fix unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining
and avoid kernel panic when we use cls_cgroup").

commit d65f2fa680d6f91438461df54c83a331b3a631c9 upstream.

META_COLLECTOR int_vlan_tag() assumes that if the accel tag (vlan_tci)
is zero, then no vlan accel tag is present.

This is incorrect for zero VID vlan accel packets, making the following
match fail:
  tc filter add ... basic match 'meta(vlan mask 0xfff eq 0)' ...

Apparently 'int_vlan_tag' was implemented prior VLAN_TAG_PRESENT was
introduced in 05423b2 "vlan: allow null VLAN ID to be used"
(and at time introduced, the 'vlan_tx_tag_get' call in em_meta was not
 adapted).

Fix, testing skb_vlan_tag_present instead of testing skb_vlan_tag_get's
value.

Fixes: 05423b2413 ("vlan: allow null VLAN ID to be used")
Fixes: 1a31f2042e ("netsched: Allow meta match on vlan tag on receive")

[ Upstream commit 34eea79e2664b314cab6a30fc582fdfa7a1bb1df ]

In tcf_em_validate(), after calling request_module() to load the
kind-specific module, set em-&gt;ops to NULL before returning -EAGAIN, so
that module_put() is not called again by tcf_em_tree_destroy().

[ Upstream commit 16c0b164bd24d44db137693a36b428ba28970c62 ]

We drop packet unconditionally when we fail to mirror it. This is not intended
in some cases. Consdier for kvm guest, we may mirror the traffic of the bridge
to a tap device used by a VM. When kernel fails to mirror the packet in
conditions such as when qemu crashes or stop polling the tap, it's hard for the
management software to detect such condition and clean the the mirroring
before. This would lead all packets to the bridge to be dropped and break the
netowrk of other virtual machines.

To solve the issue, the patch does not drop packets when kernel fails to mirror
it, and only drop the redirected packets.
