commit 5188cd44c55db3e92cd9e77a40b5baa7ed4340f7 upstream.

UFO is now disabled on all drivers that work with virtio net headers,
but userland may try to send UFO/IPv6 packets anyway.  Instead of
sending with ID=0, we should select identifiers on their behalf (as we
used to).

commit c3b4ccb8b03769e2867fabecc078483ee6710ccf upstream.

With commits 73f156a6e8c1 ("inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count") and
04ca6973f7c1 ("ip: make IP identifiers less predictable"), IP
identifiers are generated from a counter chosen from an array of
counters indexed by the hash of the outgoing packet header's source
address, destination address, and protocol number.  Thus, in
__ip_make_skb(), we must now call ip_select_ident() only after setting
these fields in the IP header to prevent IP identifiers from being
generated from bogus counters.

IP id sequence before fix: 18174, 5789, 5953, 59420, 59637, ...
After fix: 5967, 6185, 6374, 6600, 6795, 6892, 7051, 7288, ...

commit aaef31703a0cf6a733e651885bfb49edc3ac6774 upstream.

Large (greater than 32k, the value of PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER) auth
tickets will have their buffers vmalloc'ed, which leads to the
following crash in crypto:

commit b8fff407a180286aa683d543d878d98d9fc57b13 upstream.

Upon receiving the last fragment, all but the first fragment
are freed, but the multicast check for statistics at the end
of the function refers to the current skb (the last fragment)
causing a use-after-free bug.

Since multicast frames cannot be fragmented and we check for
this early in the function, just modify that check to also
do the accounting to fix the issue.

<title>mac80211: properly flush delayed scan work on interface removal</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 46238845bd609a5c0fbe076e1b82b4c5b33360b2 upstream.

When an interface is deleted, an ongoing hardware scan is canceled and
the driver must abort the scan, at the very least reporting completion
while the interface is removed.

However, if it scheduled the work that might only run after everything
is said and done, which leads to cfg80211 warning that the scan isn't
reported as finished yet; this is no fault of the driver, it already
did, but mac80211 hasn't processed it.

To fix this situation, flush the delayed work when the interface being
removed is the one that was executing the scan.

commit 46238845bd609a5c0fbe076e1b82b4c5b33360b2 upstream.

When an interface is deleted, an ongoing hardware scan is canceled and
the driver must abort the scan, at the very least reporting completion
while the interface is removed.

However, if it scheduled the work that might only run after everything
is said and done, which leads to cfg80211 warning that the scan isn't
reported as finished yet; this is no fault of the driver, it already
did, but mac80211 hasn't processed it.

To fix this situation, flush the delayed work when the interface being
removed is the one that was executing the scan.

commit 5eb596f55cacc2389554a8d7572d90d5e9d4269d upstream.

We can only determine the final security level when both pairing request
and response have been exchanged. When initiating pairing the starting
target security level is set to MEDIUM unless explicitly specified to be
HIGH, so that we can still perform pairing even if the remote doesn't
have MITM capabilities. However, once we've received the pairing
response we should re-consult the remote and local IO capabilities and
upgrade the target security level if necessary.

Without this patch the resulting Long Term Key will occasionally be
reported to be unauthenticated when it in reality is an authenticated
one.

commit eed4d839b0cdf9d84b0a9bc63de90fd5e1e886fb upstream.

Use dst_entry held by sk_dst_get() to retrieve tunnel's PMTU.

The dst_mtu(__sk_dst_get(tunnel-&gt;sock)) call was racy. __sk_dst_get()
could return NULL if tunnel-&gt;sock-&gt;sk_dst_cache was reset just before the
call, thus making dst_mtu() dereference a NULL pointer:

<content type='text'>
commit cdb3f4a31b64c3a1c6eef40bc01ebc9594c58a8c upstream.

There are many cases where this feature does not improve performance or even
reduces it.

For example, here are the results from tests that I've run using 3.12.6 on one
Intel Xeon W3565 and one i7 920 connected by ixgbe adapters. The results are
from the Xeon, but they're similar on the i7. All numbers report the
mean±stddev over 10 runs of 10s.

1) latency tests similar to what is described in "c6e1a0d net: Allow no-cache
copy from user on transmit"
There is no statistically significant difference between tx-nocache-copy
on/off.
nic irqs spread out (one queue per cpu)

200x netperf -r 1400,1
tx-nocache-copy off
        692000±1000 tps
        50/90/95/99% latency (us): 275±2/643.8±0.4/799±1/2474.4±0.3
tx-nocache-copy on
        693000±1000 tps
        50/90/95/99% latency (us): 274±1/644.1±0.7/800±2/2474.5±0.7

200x netperf -r 14000,14000
tx-nocache-copy off
        86450±80 tps
        50/90/95/99% latency (us): 334.37±0.02/838±1/2100±20/3990±40
tx-nocache-copy on
        86110±60 tps
        50/90/95/99% latency (us): 334.28±0.01/837±2/2110±20/3990±20

2) single stream throughput tests
tx-nocache-copy leads to higher service demand

                        throughput  cpu0        cpu1        demand

commit cdb3f4a31b64c3a1c6eef40bc01ebc9594c58a8c upstream.

There are many cases where this feature does not improve performance or even
reduces it.

For example, here are the results from tests that I've run using 3.12.6 on one
Intel Xeon W3565 and one i7 920 connected by ixgbe adapters. The results are
from the Xeon, but they're similar on the i7. All numbers report the
mean±stddev over 10 runs of 10s.

1) latency tests similar to what is described in "c6e1a0d net: Allow no-cache
copy from user on transmit"
There is no statistically significant difference between tx-nocache-copy
on/off.
nic irqs spread out (one queue per cpu)

200x netperf -r 1400,1
tx-nocache-copy off
        692000±1000 tps
        50/90/95/99% latency (us): 275±2/643.8±0.4/799±1/2474.4±0.3
tx-nocache-copy on
        693000±1000 tps
        50/90/95/99% latency (us): 274±1/644.1±0.7/800±2/2474.5±0.7

200x netperf -r 14000,14000
tx-nocache-copy off
        86450±80 tps
        50/90/95/99% latency (us): 334.37±0.02/838±1/2100±20/3990±40
tx-nocache-copy on
        86110±60 tps
        50/90/95/99% latency (us): 334.28±0.01/837±2/2110±20/3990±20

2) single stream throughput tests
tx-nocache-copy leads to higher service demand

                        throughput  cpu0        cpu1        demand
                        (Gb/s)      (Gcycle)    (Gcycle)    (cycle/B)

nic irqs and netperf on cpu0 (1x netperf -T0,0 -t omni -- -d send)

tx-nocache-copy off     9402±5      9.4±0.2                 0.80±0.01
tx-nocache-copy on      9403±3      9.85±0.04               0.838±0.004

nic irqs on cpu0, netperf on cpu1 (1x netperf -T1,1 -t omni -- -d send)

tx-nocache-copy off     9401±5      5.83±0.03   5.0±0.1     0.923±0.007
tx-nocache-copy on      9404±2      5.74±0.03   5.523±0.009 0.958±0.002

As a second example, here are some results from Eric Dumazet with latest
net-next.

commit 916e4cf46d0204806c062c8c6c4d1f633852c5b6 upstream.

Currently we generate a new fragmentation id on UFO segmentation. It
is pretty hairy to identify the correct net namespace and dst there.
Especially tunnels use IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE and thus have no skb_dst
available at all.

This causes unreliable or very predictable ipv6 fragmentation id
generation while segmentation.

Luckily we already have pregenerated the ip6_frag_id in
ip6_ufo_append_data and can use it here.

Further tests revealed that after moving the garbage collector to a work
queue and protecting it with a spinlock may leave the system prone to
soft lockups if bottom half gets very busy.

It was reproced with a set of firewall rules that REJECTed packets. If
the NIC bottom half handler ends up running on the same CPU that is
running the garbage collector on a very large cache, the garbage
collector will not be able to do its job due to the amount of work
needed for handling the REJECTs and also won't reschedule.

The fix is to disable bottom half during the garbage collecting, as it
already was in the first place (most calls to it came from softirqs).
