=====================================================

tipc_add_tlv() puts TLV descriptor and value onto `skb`. This size is
calculated with TLV_SPACE() macro. It adds the size of struct tlv_desc and
the length of TLV value passed as an argument, and aligns the result to a
multiple of TLV_ALIGNTO, i.e., a multiple of 4 bytes.

If the size of struct tlv_desc plus the length of TLV value is not aligned,
the current implementation leaves the remaining bytes uninitialized. This
is the cause of the above kernel-infoleak issue.

This patch resolves this issue by clearing data up to an aligned size.

TIPC bearer-related names including link names must be null-terminated
strings. If a link name which is not null-terminated is passed through
netlink, strstr() and similar functions can cause buffer overrun. This
causes the above issue.

This patch changes the nla_policy for bearer-related names from NLA_STRING
to NLA_NUL_STRING. This resolves the issue by ensuring that only
null-terminated strings are accepted as bearer-related names.

syzbot reported similar uninit-value issue related to bearer names [2]. The
root cause of this issue is that a non-null-terminated bearer name was
passed. This patch also resolved this issue.

[ Upstream commit 44194cb1b6045dea33ae9a0d54fb7e7cd93a2e09 ]

According to nla_parse_nested_deprecated(), the tb[] is supposed to the
destination array with maxtype+1 elements. In current
tipc_nl_media_get() and __tipc_nl_media_set(), a larger array is used
which is unnecessary. This patch resize them to a proper size.

<title>tipc: call tipc_lxc_xmit without holding node_read_lock</title>

commit 88956177db179e4eba7cd590971961857d1565b8 upstream.

When sending packets between nodes in netns, it calls tipc_lxc_xmit() for
peer node to receive the packets where tipc_sk_mcast_rcv()/tipc_sk_rcv()
might be called, and it's pretty much like in tipc_rcv().

Currently the local 'node rw lock' is held during calling tipc_lxc_xmit()
to protect the peer_net not being freed by another thread. However, when
receiving these packets, tipc_node_add_conn() might be called where the
peer 'node rw lock' is acquired. Then a dead lock warning is triggered by
lockdep detector, although it is not a real dead lock:

    WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
    --------------------------------------------
    conn_server/1086 is trying to acquire lock:

    but task is already holding lock:

This patch avoids this warning by not holding the 'node rw lock' before
calling tipc_lxc_xmit(). As to protect the 'peer_net', rcu_read_lock()
should be enough, as in cleanup_net() when freeing the netns, it calls
synchronize_rcu() before the free is continued.

Also since tipc_lxc_xmit() is like the RX path in tipc_rcv(), it makes
sense to call it under rcu_read_lock(). Note that the right lock order
must be:

   rcu_read_lock();
   tipc_node_read_lock(n);
   tipc_node_read_unlock(n);
   tipc_lxc_xmit();
   rcu_read_unlock();

instead of:

   tipc_node_read_lock(n);
   rcu_read_lock();
   tipc_node_read_unlock(n);
   tipc_lxc_xmit();
   rcu_read_unlock();

and we have to call tipc_node_read_lock/unlock() twice in
tipc_node_xmit().

commit 8b1e5b0a99f04bda2d6c85ecfe5e68a356c10914 upstream.

In the commit f73b12812a3d
("tipc: improve throughput between nodes in netns"), we're missing a check
to handle TIPC_DIRECT_MSG type, it's still using old sending mechanism for
this message type. So, throughput improvement is not significant as
expected.

Besides that, when sending a large message with that type, we're also
handle wrong receiving queue, it should be enqueued in socket receiving
instead of multicast messages.

Fix this by adding the missing case for TIPC_DIRECT_MSG.

commit 31e4ccc99eda8a5a7e6902c98bee6e78ffd3edb9 upstream.

In the function 'tipc_disc_rcv()', the 'msg_peer_net_hash()' is called
to read the header data field but after the message skb has been freed,
that might result in a garbage value...

This commit fixes it by defining a new local variable to store the data
first, just like the other header fields' handling.

<title>tipc: fix unexpected link reset due to discovery messages</title>

[ Upstream commit c244c092f1ed2acfb5af3d3da81e22367d3dd733 ]

This unexpected behavior is observed:

node 1                    | node 2
------                    | ------
link is established       | link is established
reboot                    | link is reset
up                        | send discovery message
receive discovery message |
link is established       | link is established
send discovery message    |
                          | receive discovery message
                          | link is reset (unexpected)
                          | send reset message
link is reset             |

It is due to delayed re-discovery as described in function
tipc_node_check_dest(): "this link endpoint has already reset
and re-established contact with the peer, before receiving a
discovery message from that node."

However, commit 598411d70f85 has changed the condition for calling
tipc_node_link_down() which was the acceptance of new media address.

This commit fixes this by restoring the old and correct behavior.

and re-established contact with the peer, before receiving a
discovery message from that node."

However, commit 598411d70f85 has changed the condition for calling
tipc_node_link_down() which was the acceptance of new media address.

This commit fixes this by restoring the old and correct behavior.

[ Upstream commit d408bef4bfa60bac665b6e7239269570039a968b ]

Currently, we scan over all network namespaces at each received
discovery message in order to check if the sending peer might be
present in a host local namespaces.

This is unnecessary since we can assume that a peer will not change its
location during an established session.

We now improve the condition for this testing so that we don't perform
any redundant scans.

[ Upstream commit f73b12812a3d1d798b7517547ccdcf864844d2cd ]

Currently, TIPC transports intra-node user data messages directly
socket to socket, hence shortcutting all the lower layers of the
communication stack. This gives TIPC very good intra node performance,
both regarding throughput and latency.

We now introduce a similar mechanism for TIPC data traffic across
network namespaces located in the same kernel. On the send path, the
call chain is as always accompanied by the sending node's network name
space pointer. However, once we have reliably established that the
receiving node is represented by a namespace on the same host, we just
replace the namespace pointer with the receiving node/namespace's
ditto, and follow the regular socket receive patch though the receiving
node. This technique gives us a throughput similar to the node internal
throughput, several times larger than if we let the traffic go though
the full network stacks. As a comparison, max throughput for 64k
messages is four times larger than TCP throughput for the same type of
traffic.

To meet any security concerns, the following should be noted.

- All nodes joining a cluster are supposed to have been be certified
and authenticated by mechanisms outside TIPC. This is no different for
nodes/namespaces on the same host; they have to auto discover each
other using the attached interfaces, and establish links which are
supervised via the regular link monitoring mechanism. Hence, a kernel
local node has no other way to join a cluster than any other node, and
have to obey to policies set in the IP or device layers of the stack.

- Only when a sender has established with 100% certainty that the peer
node is located in a kernel local namespace does it choose to let user
data messages, and only those, take the crossover path to the receiving
node/namespace.

- If the receiving node/namespace is removed, its namespace pointer
is invalidated at all peer nodes, and their neighbor link monitoring
will eventually note that this node is gone.

- To ensure the "100% certainty" criteria, and prevent any possible
spoofing, received discovery messages must contain a proof that the
sender knows a common secret. We use the hash mix of the sending
node/namespace for this purpose, since it can be accessed directly by
all other namespaces in the kernel. Upon reception of a discovery
message, the receiver checks this proof against all the local
namespaces'hash_mix:es. If it finds a match, that, along with a
matching node id and cluster id, this is deemed sufficient proof that
the peer node in question is in a local namespace, and a wormhole can
be opened.

- We should also consider that TIPC is intended to be a cluster local
IPC mechanism (just like e.g. UNIX sockets) rather than a network
protocol, and hence we think it can justified to allow it to shortcut the
lower protocol layers.

Regarding traceability, we should notice that since commit 6c9081a3915d
("tipc: add loopback device tracking") it is possible to follow the node
internal packet flow by just activating tcpdump on the loopback
interface. This will be true even for this mechanism; by activating
tcpdump on the involved nodes' loopback interfaces their inter-name
space messaging can easily be tracked.

v2:
- update 'net' pointer when node left/rejoined
v3:
- grab read/write lock when using node ref obj
v4:
- clone traffics between netns to loopback
