[ Upstream commit 4a31a6b19f9ddf498c81f5c9b089742b7472a6f8 ]

Fix dst reference count leak in sctp_v4_get_dst() introduced in commit
410f03831 ("sctp: add routing output fallback"):

When walking the address_list, successive ip_route_output_key() calls
may return the same rt-&gt;dst with the reference incremented on each call.

The code would not decrement the dst refcount when the dst pointer was
identical from the previous iteration, causing the dst refcnt leak.

Testcase:
  ip netns add TEST
  ip netns exec TEST ip link set lo up
  ip link add dummy0 type dummy
  ip link add dummy1 type dummy
  ip link add dummy2 type dummy
  ip link set dev dummy0 netns TEST
  ip link set dev dummy1 netns TEST
  ip link set dev dummy2 netns TEST
  ip netns exec TEST ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev dummy0
  ip netns exec TEST ip link set dummy0 up
  ip netns exec TEST ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev dummy1
  ip netns exec TEST ip link set dummy1 up
  ip netns exec TEST ip addr add 192.168.1.3/24 dev dummy2
  ip netns exec TEST ip link set dummy2 up
  ip netns exec TEST sctp_test -H 192.168.1.2 -P 20002 -h 192.168.1.1 -p 20000 -s -B 192.168.1.3
  ip netns del TEST

In 4.4 and 4.9 kernels this results to:
  [  354.179591] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1
  [  364.419674] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1

Now each stream sched ops is defined in different .c file and
added into the global ops in another .c file, it uses extern
to make this work.

However extern is not good coding style to get them in and
even make C=2 reports errors for this.

This patch adds sctp_sched_ops_xxx_init for each stream sched
ops in their .c file, then get them into the global ops by
calling them when initializing sctp module.

<title>net: Work around lockdep limitation in sockets that use sockets</title>
<updated>2017-03-10T02:23:27+00:00</updated>

<id>cdfbabfb2f0ce983fdaa42f20e5f7842178fc01e</id>
<content type='text'>
Lockdep issues a circular dependency warning when AFS issues an operation
through AF_RXRPC from a context in which the VFS/VM holds the mmap_sem.

The theory lockdep comes up with is as follows:

 (1) If the pagefault handler decides it needs to read pages from AFS, it
     calls AFS with mmap_sem held and AFS begins an AF_RXRPC call, but
     creating a call requires the socket lock:

	mmap_sem must be taken before sk_lock-AF_RXRPC

 (2) afs_open_socket() opens an AF_RXRPC socket and binds it.  rxrpc_bind()
     binds the underlying UDP socket whilst holding its socket lock.
     inet_bind() takes its own socket lock:

	sk_lock-AF_RXRPC must be taken before sk_lock-AF_INET

 (3) Reading from a TCP socket into a userspace buffer might cause a fault
     and thus cause the kernel to take the mmap_sem, but the TCP socket is
     locked whilst doing this:

	sk_lock-AF_INET must be taken before mmap_sem

However, lockdep's theory is wrong in this instance because it deals only
with lock classes and not individual locks.  The AF_INET lock in (2) isn't
really equivalent to the AF_INET lock in (3) as the former deals with a
socket entirely internal to the kernel that never sees userspace.  This is
a limitation in the design of lockdep.

Fix the general case by:

 (1) Double up all the locking keys used in sockets so that one set are
     used if the socket is created by userspace and the other set is used
     if the socket is created by the kernel.

 (2) Store the kern parameter passed to sk_alloc() in a variable in the
     sock struct (sk_kern_sock).  This informs sock_lock_init(),
     sock_init_data() and sk_clone_lock() as to the lock keys to be used.

     Note that the child created by sk_clone_lock() inherits the parent's
     kern setting.

 (3) Add a 'kern' parameter to -&gt;accept() that is analogous to the one
     passed in to -&gt;create() that distinguishes whether kernel_accept() or
     sys_accept4() was the caller and can be passed to sk_alloc().

     Note that a lot of accept functions merely dequeue an already
     allocated socket.  I haven't touched these as the new socket already
     exists before we get the parameter.

     Note also that there are a couple of places where I've made the accepted
     socket unconditionally kernel-based:

	irda_accept()
	rds_rcp_accept_one()
	tcp_accept_from_sock()

     because they follow a sock_create_kern() and accept off of that.

Whilst creating this, I noticed that lustre and ocfs don't create sockets
through sock_create_kern() and thus they aren't marked as for-kernel,
though they appear to be internal.  I wonder if these should do that so
that they use the new set of lock keys.

Commit b8607805dd15 ("sctp: not copying duplicate addrs to the assoc's
bind address list") tried to check for duplicate address before copying
to asoc's bind_addr list from global addr list.

But all the addrs' sin_ports in global addr list are 0 while the addrs'
sin_ports are bp-&gt;port in asoc's bind_addr list. It means even if it's
a duplicate address, af-&gt;cmp_addr will still return 0 as the their
sin_ports are different.

This patch is to fix it by setting the sin_port for addr param with
bp-&gt;port before comparing the addrs.

<content type='text'>
This patch is to add reconf_enable field in all of asoc ep and netns
to indicate if they support stream reset.

When initializing, asoc reconf_enable get the default value from ep
reconf_enable which is from netns netns reconf_enable by default.

It is also to add reconf_capable in asoc peer part to know if peer
supports reconf_enable, the value is set if ext params have reconf
chunk support when processing init chunk, just as rfc6525 section
5.1.1 demands.

sctp.local_addr_list is a global address list that is supposed to include
all the local addresses. sctp updates this list according to NETDEV_UP/
NETDEV_DOWN notifications.

However, if multiple NICs have the same address, the global list would
have duplicate addresses. Even if for one NIC, promote secondaries in
__inet_del_ifa can also lead to accumulating duplicate addresses.

When sctp binds address 'ANY' and creates a connection, it copies all
the addresses from global list into asoc's bind addr list, which makes
sctp pack the duplicate addresses into INIT/INIT_ACK packets.

This patch is to filter the duplicate addresses when copying the addrs
from global list in sctp_copy_local_addr_list and unpacking addr_param
from cookie in sctp_raw_to_bind_addrs to asoc's bind addr list.

Note that we can't filter the duplicate addrs when global address list
gets updated, As NETDEV_DOWN event may remove an addr that still exists
in another NIC.
