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.

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:

[ 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

The similar things were also done in sctp_make_reassembled_event(),
which is using skb_copy().

<title>tipc: fix unlimited bundling of small messages</title>

<id>e95584a889e1902fdf1ded9712e2c3c3083baf96</id>
<content type='text'>
We have identified a problem with the "oversubscription" policy in the
link transmission code.

When small messages are transmitted, and the sending link has reached
the transmit window limit, those messages will be bundled and put into
the link backlog queue. However, bundles of data messages are counted
at the 'CRITICAL' level, so that the counter for that level, instead of
the counter for the real, bundled message's level is the one being
increased.
Subsequent, to-be-bundled data messages at non-CRITICAL levels continue
to be tested against the unchanged counter for their own level, while
contributing to an unrestrained increase at the CRITICAL backlog level.

This leaves a gap in congestion control algorithm for small messages
that can result in starvation for other users or a "real" CRITICAL
user. Even that eventually can lead to buffer exhaustion &amp; link reset.

We fix this by keeping a 'target_bskb' buffer pointer at each levels,
then when bundling, we only bundle messages at the same importance
level only. This way, we know exactly how many slots a certain level
have occupied in the queue, so can manage level congestion accurately.

By bundling messages at the same level, we even have more benefits. Let
consider this:
- One socket sends 64-byte messages at the 'CRITICAL' level;
- Another sends 4096-byte messages at the 'LOW' level;

When a 64-byte message comes and is bundled the first time, we put the
overhead of message bundle to it (+ 40-byte header, data copy, etc.)
for later use, but the next message can be a 4096-byte one that cannot
be bundled to the previous one. This means the last bundle carries only
one payload message which is totally inefficient, as for the receiver
also! Later on, another 64-byte message comes, now we make a new bundle
and the same story repeats...

With the new bundling algorithm, this will not happen, the 64-byte
messages will be bundled together even when the 4096-byte message(s)
comes in between. However, if the 4096-byte messages are sent at the
same level i.e. 'CRITICAL', the bundling algorithm will again cause the
same overhead.

Also, the same will happen even with only one socket sending small
messages at a rate close to the link transmit's one, so that, when one
message is bundled, it's transmitted shortly. Then, another message
comes, a new bundle is created and so on...

We will solve this issue radically by another patch.

In conjunction with changing the interfaces' MTU (e.g. especially in
the case of a bonding) where the TIPC links are brought up and down
in a short time, a couple of issues were detected with the current link
changeover mechanism:

1) When one link is up but immediately forced down again, the failover
procedure will be carried out in order to failover all the messages in
the link's transmq queue onto the other working link. The link and node
state is also set to FAILINGOVER as part of the process. The message
will be transmited in form of a FAILOVER_MSG, so its size is plus of 40
bytes (= the message header size). There is no problem if the original
message size is not larger than the link's MTU - 40, and indeed this is
the max size of a normal payload messages. However, in the situation
above, because the link has just been up, the messages in the link's
transmq are almost SYNCH_MSGs which had been generated by the link
synching procedure, then their size might reach the max value already!
When the FAILOVER_MSG is built on the top of such a SYNCH_MSG, its size
will exceed the link's MTU. As a result, the messages are dropped
silently and the failover procedure will never end up, the link will
not be able to exit the FAILINGOVER state, so cannot be re-established.

2) The same scenario above can happen more easily in case the MTU of
the links is set differently or when changing. In that case, as long as
a large message in the failure link's transmq queue was built and
fragmented with its link's MTU &gt; the other link's one, the issue will
happen (there is no need of a link synching in advance).

3) The link synching procedure also faces with the same issue but since
the link synching is only started upon receipt of a SYNCH_MSG, dropping
the message will not result in a state deadlock, but it is not expected
as design.

The 1) &amp; 3) issues are resolved by the last commit that only a dummy
SYNCH_MSG (i.e. without data) is generated at the link synching, so the
size of a FAILOVER_MSG if any then will never exceed the link's MTU.

For the 2) issue, the only solution is trying to fragment the messages
in the failure link's transmq queue according to the working link's MTU
so they can be failovered then. A new function is made to accomplish
this, it will still be a TUNNEL PROTOCOL/FAILOVER MSG but if the
original message size is too large, it will be fragmented &amp; reassembled
at the receiving side.

<title>tipc: buffer overflow handling in listener socket</title>

<content type='text'>
Default socket receive buffer size for a listener socket is 2Mb. For
each arriving empty SYN, the linux kernel allocates a 768 bytes buffer.
This means that a listener socket can serve maximum 2700 simultaneous
empty connection setup requests before it hits a receive buffer
overflow, and much fewer if the SYN is carrying any significant
amount of data.

When this happens the setup request is rejected, and the client
receives an ECONNREFUSED error.

This commit mitigates this problem by letting the client socket try to
retransmit the SYN message multiple times when it sees it rejected with
the code TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD. Retransmission is done at random intervals
in the range of [100 ms, setup_timeout / 4], as many times as there is
room for within the setup timeout limit.

<title>tipc: refactor function tipc_msg_reverse()</title>

The function tipc_msg_reverse() is reversing the header of a message
while reusing the original buffer. We have seen at several occasions
that this may have unfortunate side effects when the buffer to be
reversed is a clone.

In one of the following commits we will again need to reverse cloned
buffers, so this is the right time to permanently eliminate this
problem. In this commit we let the said function always consume the
original buffer and replace it with a new one when applicable.
