commit 3b05ac3824ed9648c0d9c02d51d9b54e4e7e874f upstream.

The app_tcp_pkt_out() function expects "*diff" to be set and ends up
using uninitialized data if CONFIG_IP_VS_IPV6 is turned on.

The same issue is there in app_tcp_pkt_in().  Thanks to Julian Anastasov
for noticing that.

commit 579eb62ac35845686a7c4286c0a820b4eb1f96aa upstream.

commit f5a41847acc5 ("ipvs: move ip_route_me_harder for ICMP")
from 2.6.37 introduced ip_route_me_harder() call for responses to
local clients, so that we can provide valid rt_src after SNAT.
It was used by TCP to provide valid daddr for ip_send_reply().
After commit 0a5ebb8000c5 ("ipv4: Pass explicit daddr arg to
ip_send_reply()." from 3.0 this rerouting is not needed anymore
and should be avoided, especially in LOCAL_IN.

Fixes 3.12.33 crash in xfrm reported by Florian Wiessner:
"3.12.33 - BUG xfrm_selector_match+0x25/0x2f6"

commit 330966e501ffe282d7184fde4518d5e0c24bc7f8 upstream.

skb_gso_segment has three possible return values:
1. a pointer to the first segmented skb
2. an errno value (IS_ERR())
3. NULL.  This can happen when GSO is used for header verification.

However, several callers currently test IS_ERR instead of IS_ERR_OR_NULL
and would oops when NULL is returned.

Note that these call sites should never actually see such a NULL return
value; all callers mask out the GSO bits in the feature argument.

However, there have been issues with some protocol handlers erronously not
respecting the specified feature mask in some cases.

It is preferable to get 'have to turn off hw offloading, else slow' reports
rather than 'kernel crashes'.

<title>tcp: avoid looping in tcp_send_fin()</title>

[ Upstream commit 845704a535e9b3c76448f52af1b70e4422ea03fd ]

Presence of an unbound loop in tcp_send_fin() had always been hard
to explain when analyzing crash dumps involving gigantic dying processes
with millions of sockets.

Lets try a different strategy :

In case of memory pressure, try to add the FIN flag to last packet
in write queue, even if packet was already sent. TCP stack will
be able to deliver this FIN after a timeout event. Note that this
FIN being delivered by a retransmit, it also carries a Push flag
given our current implementation.

By checking sk_under_memory_pressure(), we anticipate that cooking
many FIN packets might deplete tcp memory.

In the case we could not allocate a packet, even with __GFP_WAIT
allocation, then not sending a FIN seems quite reasonable if it allows
to get rid of this socket, free memory, and not block the process from
eventually doing other useful work.

Initial discussion was:
[FYI] xfrm: Don't lookup sk_policy for timewait sockets

Forwarded frames should not have a socket attached. Especially
tw sockets will lead to panics later-on in the stack.

This was observed with TPROXY assigning a tw socket and broken
policy routing (misconfigured). As a result frame enters
forwarding path instead of input. We cannot solve this in
TPROXY as it cannot know that policy routing is broken.

[ Upstream commit 355a901e6cf1b2b763ec85caa2a9f04fbcc4ab4a ]

While working on sk_forward_alloc problems reported by Denys
Fedoryshchenko, we found that tcp connect() (and fastopen) do not call
sk_wmem_schedule() for SYN packet (and/or SYN/DATA packet), so
sk_forward_alloc is negative while connect is in progress.

We can fix this by calling regular sk_stream_alloc_skb() both for the
SYN packet (in tcp_connect()) and the syn_data packet in
tcp_send_syn_data()

Then, tcp_send_syn_data() can avoid copying syn_data as we simply
can manipulate syn_data-&gt;cb[] to remove SYN flag (and increment seq)

Instead of open coding memcpy_fromiovecend(), simply use this helper.

This leaves in socket write queue clean fast clone skbs.

This was tested against our fastopen packetdrill tests.

MSG_PEEK isn't passed to -&gt;recvmsg() via msg-&gt;msg_flags; as the matter of

in there.  It gets passed via flags; in fact, another such check in the same
function is done correctly - as flags &amp; MSG_PEEK.

It had been that way (effectively disabled) for 8 years, though, so the patch
needs beating up - that case had never been tested.  If it is correct, it's
-stable fodder.

[ Upstream commit f862e07cf95d5b62a5fc5e981dd7d0dbaf33a501 ]

The rds_iw_update_cm_id function stores a large 'struct rds_sock' object
on the stack in order to pass a pair of addresses. This happens to just
fit withint the 1024 byte stack size warning limit on x86, but just
exceed that limit on ARM, which gives us this warning:

net/rds/iw_rdma.c:200:1: warning: the frame size of 1056 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

As the use of this large variable is basically bogus, we can rearrange
the code to not do that. Instead of passing an rds socket into
rds_iw_get_device, we now just pass the two addresses that we have
available in rds_iw_update_cm_id, and we change rds_iw_get_mr accordingly,
to create two address structures on the stack there.

[ Upstream commit f862e07cf95d5b62a5fc5e981dd7d0dbaf33a501 ]

The rds_iw_update_cm_id function stores a large 'struct rds_sock' object
on the stack in order to pass a pair of addresses. This happens to just
fit withint the 1024 byte stack size warning limit on x86, but just
exceed that limit on ARM, which gives us this warning:

net/rds/iw_rdma.c:200:1: warning: the frame size of 1056 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

As the use of this large variable is basically bogus, we can rearrange
the code to not do that. Instead of passing an rds socket into
rds_iw_get_device, we now just pass the two addresses that we have
available in rds_iw_update_cm_id, and we change rds_iw_get_mr accordingly,
to create two address structures on the stack there.

[ Upstream commit b1cb59cf2efe7971d3d72a7b963d09a512d994c9 ]

sysctl has sysctl.net.core.rmem_*/wmem_* parameters which can be
set to incorrect values. Given that 'struct sk_buff' allocates from
rcvbuf, incorrectly set buffer length could result to memory
allocation failures. For example, set them as follows:

    # sysctl net.core.rmem_default=64
      net.core.wmem_default = 64
    # sysctl net.core.wmem_default=64
      net.core.wmem_default = 64
    # ping localhost -s 1024 -i 0 &gt; /dev/null

This could result to the following failure:

skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:ffffffff81628db4 len:-32 put:-32
