commit b7df21cf1b79ab7026f545e7bf837bd5750ac026 upstream.

It's not a good idea to append the frag skb to a skb's frag_list if
the frag_list already has skbs from elsewhere, such as this skb was
created by pskb_copy() where the frag_list was cloned (all the skbs
in it were skb_get'ed) and shared by multiple skbs.

However, the new appended frag skb should have been only seen by the
current skb. Otherwise, it will cause use after free crashes as this
appended frag skb are seen by multiple skbs but it only got skb_get
called once.

The same thing happens with a skb updated by pskb_may_pull() with a
skb_cloned skb. Li Shuang has reported quite a few crashes caused
by this when doing testing over macvlan devices:

This patch is to fix it by linearizing the head skb if it has frag_list
set in tipc_buf_append(). Note that we choose to do this before calling
skb_unshare(), as __skb_linearize() will avoid skb_copy(). Also, we can
not just drop the frag_list either as the early time.

[ Upstream commit ceb1eb2fb609c88363e06618b8d4bbf7815a4e03 ]

Commit ed42989eab57 ("tipc: fix the skb_unshare() in tipc_buf_append()")
replaced skb_unshare() with skb_copy() to not reduce the data reference
counter of the original skb intentionally. This is not the correct
way to handle the cloned skb because it causes memory leak in 2
following cases:
 1/ Sending multicast messages via broadcast link
  The original skb list is cloned to the local skb list for local
  destination. After that, the data reference counter of each skb
  in the original list has the value of 2. This causes each skb not
  to be freed after receiving ACK:
  tipc_link_advance_transmq()
  {
   ...
   /* release skb */
   __skb_unlink(skb, &amp;l-&gt;transmq);
   kfree_skb(skb); &lt;-- memory exists after being freed
  }

 2/ Sending multicast messages via replicast link
  Similar to the above case, each skb cannot be freed after purging
  the skb list:
  tipc_mcast_xmit()
  {
   ...
   __skb_queue_purge(pkts); &lt;-- memory exists after being freed
  }

This commit fixes this issue by using skb_unshare() instead. Besides,
to avoid use-after-free error reported by KASAN, the pointer to the
fragment is set to NULL before calling skb_unshare() to make sure that
the original skb is not freed after freeing the fragment 2 times in
case skb_unshare() returns NULL.

[ Upstream commit ed42989eab57d619667d7e87dfbd8fe207db54fe ]

skb_unshare() drops a reference count on the old skb unconditionally,
so in the failure case, we end up freeing the skb twice here.
And because the skb is allocated in fclone and cloned by caller
tipc_msg_reassemble(), the consequence is actually freeing the
original skb too, thus triggered the UAF by syzbot.

Fix this by replacing this skb_unshare() with skb_cloned()+skb_copy().

In tipc_buf_append() it may change skb's frag_list, and it causes
problems when this skb is cloned. skb_unclone() doesn't really
make this skb's flag_list available to change.

Shuang Li has reported an use-after-free issue because of this
when creating quite a few macvlan dev over the same dev, where
the broadcast packets will be cloned and go up to the stack:

 [ ] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in pskb_expand_head+0x86d/0xea0

So fix it by using skb_unshare() instead, which would create a new
skb for the cloned frag and it'll be safe to change its frag_list.
The similar things were also done in sctp_make_reassembled_event(),
which is using skb_copy().

[ Upstream commit aad06212d36cf34859428a0a279e5c14ee5c9e26 ]

In commit e3a77561e7d32 ("tipc: split up function tipc_msg_eval()"),
we have updated the function tipc_msg_lookup_dest() to set the error
codes to negative values at destination lookup failures. Thus when
the function sets the error code to -TIPC_ERR_NO_NAME, its inserted
into the 4 bit error field of the message header as 0xf instead of
TIPC_ERR_NO_NAME (1). The value 0xf is an unknown error code.

In this commit, we set only positive error code.

[ Upstream commit 57d5f64d83ab5b5a5118b1597386dd76eaf4340d ]

Until now, we allocate memory always with GFP_ATOMIC flag.
When the system is under memory pressure and a user tries to send,
the send fails due to low memory. However, the user application
can wait for free memory if we allocate it using GFP_KERNEL flag.

In this commit, we use allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL for all user
allocation.

[ Upstream commit 343eba69c6968190d8654b857aea952fed9a6749 ]

The kernel may sleep under a rcu read lock in tipc_msg_reverse, and the
function call path is:
tipc_l2_rcv_msg (acquire the lock by rcu_read_lock)
  tipc_rcv
    tipc_sk_rcv
      tipc_msg_reverse
        pskb_expand_head(GFP_KERNEL) --&gt; may sleep
tipc_node_broadcast
  tipc_node_xmit_skb
    tipc_node_xmit
      tipc_sk_rcv
        tipc_msg_reverse
          pskb_expand_head(GFP_KERNEL) --&gt; may sleep

To fix it, "GFP_KERNEL" is replaced with "GFP_ATOMIC".

<title>tipc: unclone unbundled buffers before forwarding</title>

When extracting an individual message from a received "bundle" buffer,
we just create a clone of the base buffer, and adjust it to point into
the right position of the linearized data area of the latter. This works
well for regular message reception, but during periods of extremely high
load it may happen that an extracted buffer, e.g, a connection probe, is
reversed and forwarded through an external interface while the preceding
extracted message is still unhandled. When this happens, the header or
data area of the preceding message will be partially overwritten by a
MAC header, leading to unpredicatable consequences, such as a link
reset.

We now fix this by ensuring that the msg_reverse() function never
returns a cloned buffer, and that the returned buffer always contains
sufficient valid head and tail room to be forwarded.

<title>tipc: let broadcast packet reception use new link receive function</title>

The code path for receiving broadcast packets is currently distinct
from the unicast path. This leads to unnecessary code and data
duplication, something that can be avoided with some effort.

We now introduce separate per-peer tipc_link instances for handling
broadcast packet reception. Each receive link keeps a pointer to the
common, single, broadcast link instance, and can hence handle release
and retransmission of send buffers as if they belonged to the own
instance.

Furthermore, we let each unicast link instance keep a reference to both
the pertaining broadcast receive link, and to the common send link.
This makes it possible for the unicast links to easily access data for
broadcast link synchronization, as well as for carrying acknowledges for
received broadcast packets.
