[ Upstream commit a8c6db1dfd1b1d18359241372bb204054f2c3174 ]

In fib_nh_match(), if output interface or gateway are passed in
the FIB configuration, we don't have to check next hops of
multipath routes to conclude whether we have a match or not.

However, we might still have routes with different realms
matching the same output interface and gateway configuration,
and this needs to cause the match to fail. Otherwise the first
route inserted in the FIB will match, regardless of the realms:

 # ip route add 1.1.1.1 dev eth0 table 1234 realms 1/2
 # ip route append 1.1.1.1 dev eth0 table 1234 realms 3/4
 # ip route list table 1234
 1.1.1.1 dev eth0 scope link realms 1/2
 1.1.1.1 dev eth0 scope link realms 3/4
 # ip route del 1.1.1.1 dev ens3 table 1234 realms 3/4
 # ip route list table 1234
 1.1.1.1 dev ens3 scope link realms 3/4

whereas route with realms 3/4 should have been deleted instead.

Explicitly check for fc_flow passed in the FIB configuration
(this comes from RTA_FLOW extracted by rtm_to_fib_config()) and
fail matching if it differs from nh_tclassid.

The handling of RTA_FLOW for multipath routes later in
fib_nh_match() is still needed, as we can have multiple RTA_FLOW
attributes that need to be matched against the tclassid of each
next hop.

v2: Check that fc_flow is set before discarding the match, so
    that the user can still select the first matching rule by
    not specifying any realm, as suggested by David Ahern.

<title>net: ipv4: don't allow setting net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu below 68</title>

[ Upstream commit c7272c2f1229125f74f22dcdd59de9bbd804f1c8 ]

According to RFC 1191 sections 3 and 4, ICMP frag-needed messages
indicating an MTU below 68 should be rejected:

    A host MUST never reduce its estimate of the Path MTU below 68
    octets.

and (talking about ICMP frag-needed's Next-Hop MTU field):

    This field will never contain a value less than 68, since every
    router "must be able to forward a datagram of 68 octets without
    fragmentation".

Furthermore, by letting net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu be set to negative
values, we can end up with a very large PMTU when (-1) is cast into u32.

Let's also make ip_rt_min_pmtu a u32, since it's only ever compared to
unsigned ints.

[ Upstream commit 07f2c7ab6f8d0a7e7c5764c4e6cc9c52951b9d9c ]

When SCTP makes INIT or INIT_ACK packet the total chunk length
can exceed SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN which leads to kernel panic when
transmitting these packets, e.g. the crash on sending INIT_ACK:

[  597.804948] skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:00000000ffae06e4 len:120168

...

Here the chunk size for INIT_ACK packet becomes too big, mostly
because of the state cookie (INIT packet has large size with
many address parameters), plus additional server parameters.

Later this chunk causes the panic in skb_put_data():

  skb_packet_transmit()
      sctp_packet_pack()
          skb_put_data(nskb, chunk-&gt;skb-&gt;data, chunk-&gt;skb-&gt;len);

'nskb' (head skb) was previously allocated with packet-&gt;size
from u16 'chunk-&gt;chunk_hdr-&gt;length'.

As suggested by Marcelo we should check the chunk's length in
_sctp_make_chunk() before trying to allocate skb for it and
discard a chunk if its size bigger than SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN.

[ Upstream commit 957d761cf91cdbb175ad7d8f5472336a4d54dbf2 ]

When going through the bind address list in sctp_v6_get_dst() and
the previously found address is better ('matchlen &gt; bmatchlen'),
the code continues to the next iteration without releasing currently
held destination.

Fix it by releasing 'bdst' before continue to the next iteration, and
instead of introducing one more '!IS_ERR(bdst)' check for dst_release(),
move the already existed one right after ip6_dst_lookup_flow(), i.e. we
shouldn't proceed further if we get an error for the route lookup.

[ Upstream commit 15f35d49c93f4fa9875235e7bf3e3783d2dd7a1b ]

Since UDP-Lite is always using checksum, the following path is
triggered when calculating pseudo header for it:

  udp4_csum_init() or udp6_csum_init()
    skb_checksum_init_zero_check()
      __skb_checksum_validate_complete()

The problem can appear if skb-&gt;len is less than CHECKSUM_BREAK. In
this particular case __skb_checksum_validate_complete() also invokes
__skb_checksum_complete(skb). If UDP-Lite is using partial checksum
that covers only part of a packet, the function will return bad
checksum and the packet will be dropped.

It can be fixed if we skip skb_checksum_init_zero_check() and only
set the required pseudo header checksum for UDP-Lite with partial
checksum before udp4_csum_init()/udp6_csum_init() functions return.

[ Upstream commit cb9f7a9a5c96a773bbc9c70660dc600cfff82f82 ]

Nowadays, nlmsg_multicast() returns only 0 or -ESRCH but this was not the
case when commit 134e63756d5f was pushed.
However, there was no reason to stop the loop if a netns does not have
listeners.
Returns -ESRCH only if there was no listeners in all netns.

To avoid having the same problem in the future, I didn't take the
assumption that nlmsg_multicast() returns only 0 or -ESRCH.

<title>net: fix race on decreasing number of TX queues</title>

[ Upstream commit ac5b70198adc25c73fba28de4f78adcee8f6be0b ]

netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() can be called when netdev is up.
That usually happens when user requests change of number of
channels/rings with ethtool -L.  The procedure for changing
the number of queues involves resetting the qdiscs and setting
dev-&gt;num_tx_queues to the new value.  When the new value is
lower than the old one, extra care has to be taken to ensure
ordering of accesses to the number of queues vs qdisc reset.

Currently the queues are reset before new dev-&gt;num_tx_queues
is assigned, leaving a window of time where packets can be
enqueued onto the queues going down, leading to a likely
crash in the drivers, since most drivers don't check if TX
skbs are assigned to an active queue.

<title>ipv6 sit: work around bogus gcc-8 -Wrestrict warning</title>

[ Upstream commit ca79bec237f5809a7c3c59bd41cd0880aa889966 ]

gcc-8 has a new warning that detects overlapping input and output arguments
in memcpy(). It triggers for sit_init_net() calling ipip6_tunnel_clone_6rd(),
which is actually correct:

net/ipv6/sit.c: In function 'sit_init_net':
net/ipv6/sit.c:192:3: error: 'memcpy' source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict]

The problem here is that the logic detecting the memcpy() arguments finds them
to be the same, but the conditional that tests for the input and output of
ipip6_tunnel_clone_6rd() to be identical is not a compile-time constant.

We know that netdev_priv(t-&gt;dev) is the same as t for a tunnel device,
and comparing "dev" directly here lets the compiler figure out as well
that 'dev == sitn-&gt;fb_tunnel_dev' when called from sit_init_net(), so
it no longer warns.

This code is old, so Cc stable to make sure that we don't get the warning
for older kernels built with new gcc.

<title>bridge: check brport attr show in brport_show</title>

[ Upstream commit 1b12580af1d0677c3c3a19e35bfe5d59b03f737f ]

Now br_sysfs_if file flush doesn't have attr show. To read it will
cause kernel panic after users chmod u+r this file.

Xiong found this issue when running the commands:

  ip link add br0 type bridge
  ip link add type veth
  ip link set veth0 master br0
  chmod u+r /sys/devices/virtual/net/veth0/brport/flush
  timeout 3 cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/veth0/brport/flush

kernel crashed with NULL a pointer dereference call trace.

This patch is to fix it by return -EINVAL when brport_attr-&gt;show
is null, just the same as the check for brport_attr-&gt;store in
brport_store().

[ Upstream commit c76f97c99ae6d26d14c7f0e50e074382bfbc9f98 ]

Some sockopt handling functions were calculating the length of the
buffer to be written to userspace and then calculating it again when
actually writing the buffer, which could lead to some write not using
an up-to-date length.

This patch updates such places to just make use of the len variable.

Also, replace some sizeof(type) to sizeof(var).
