<content type='text'>
Recently I started seeing warnings about pages with refcount -1. The
problem was traced to packets being reused after their head was merged into
a GRO packet by skb_gro_receive(). While bisecting the issue pointed to
commit c21b48cc1bbf ("net: adjust skb-&gt;truesize in ___pskb_trim()") and
I have never seen it on a kernel with it reverted, I believe the real
problem appeared earlier when the option to merge head frag in GRO was
implemented.

Handling NAPI_GRO_FREE_STOLEN_HEAD state was only added to GRO_MERGED_FREE
branch of napi_skb_finish() so that if the driver uses napi_gro_frags()
and head is merged (which in my case happens after the skb_condense()
call added by the commit mentioned above), the skb is reused including the
head that has been merged. As a result, we release the page reference
twice and eventually end up with negative page refcount.

To fix the problem, handle NAPI_GRO_FREE_STOLEN_HEAD in napi_frags_finish()
the same way it's done in napi_skb_finish().

<title>net: sched: Fix one possible panic when no destroy callback</title>

When qdisc fail to init, qdisc_create would invoke the destroy callback
to cleanup. But there is no check if the callback exists really. So it
would cause the panic if there is no real destroy callback like the qdisc
codel, fq, and so on.

Take codel as an example following:
When a malicious user constructs one invalid netlink msg, it would cause
codel_init-&gt;codel_change-&gt;nla_parse_nested failed.
Then kernel would invoke the destroy callback directly but qdisc codel
doesn't define one. It causes one panic as a result.

Now add one the check for destroy to avoid the possible panic.

Similar to the fix provided by Dominik Heidler in commit
9b3dc0a17d73 ("l2tp: cast l2tp traffic counter to unsigned")
we need to take care of 32bit kernels in dev_get_stats().

When using atomic_long_read(), we add a 'long' to u64 and
might misinterpret high order bit, unless we cast to unsigned.

We have to reset the sk-&gt;sk_rx_dst when we disconnect a TCP
connection, because otherwise when we re-connect it this
dst reference is simply overridden in tcp_finish_connect().

This fixes a dst leak which leads to a loopback dev refcnt
leak. It is a long-standing bug, Kevin reported a very similar
(if not same) bug before. Thanks to Andrei for providing such
a reliable reproducer which greatly narrows down the problem.

In udp_v6_early_demux(), check for sk_state to make sure it is in

Together, it makes sure unconnected UDP socket won't be considered as a

<title>net: account for current skb length when deciding about UFO</title>

<content type='text'>
Our customer encountered stuck NFS writes for blocks starting at specific
offsets w.r.t. page boundary caused by networking stack sending packets via
UFO enabled device with wrong checksum. The problem can be reproduced by
composing a long UDP datagram from multiple parts using MSG_MORE flag:

  sendto(sd, buff, 1000, MSG_MORE, ...);
  sendto(sd, buff, 1000, MSG_MORE, ...);
  sendto(sd, buff, 3000, 0, ...);

Assume this packet is to be routed via a device with MTU 1500 and
NETIF_F_UFO enabled. When second sendto() gets into __ip_append_data(),
this condition is tested (among others) to decide whether to call
ip_ufo_append_data():

  ((length + fragheaderlen) &gt; mtu) || (skb &amp;&amp; skb_is_gso(skb))

At the moment, we already have skb with 1028 bytes of data which is not
marked for GSO so that the test is false (fragheaderlen is usually 20).
Thus we append second 1000 bytes to this skb without invoking UFO. Third
sendto(), however, has sufficient length to trigger the UFO path so that we
end up with non-UFO skb followed by a UFO one. Later on, udp_send_skb()
uses udp_csum() to calculate the checksum but that assumes all fragments
have correct checksum in skb-&gt;csum which is not true for UFO fragments.

When checking against MTU, we need to add skb-&gt;len to length of new segment
if we already have a partially filled skb and fragheaderlen only if there
isn't one.

In the IPv6 case, skb can only be null if this is the first segment so that
we have to use headersize (length of the first IPv6 header) rather than
fragheaderlen (length of IPv6 header of further fragments) for skb == NULL.

The per netns loopback_dev-&gt;ip6_ptr is unregistered and set to
NULL when its mtu is set to smaller than IPV6_MIN_MTU, this
leads to that we could set rt-&gt;rt6i_idev NULL after a
rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev() and then crash after another
call.

In this case we should just bring its inet6_dev down, rather
than unregistering it, at least prior to commit 176c39af29bc
("netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic") we always
override the case for loopback.

Thanks a lot to Andrey for finding a reliable reproducer.

("netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic") we always
override the case for loopback.

Thanks a lot to Andrey for finding a reliable reproducer.

In commit 242d3a49a2a1 ("ipv6: reorder ip6_route_dev_notifier after ipv6_dev_notf")
I assumed NETDEV_REGISTER and NETDEV_UNREGISTER are paired,
unfortunately, as reported by jeffy, netdev_wait_allrefs()
could rebroadcast NETDEV_UNREGISTER event until all refs are
gone.

We have to add an additional check to avoid this corner case.
For netdev_wait_allrefs() dev-&gt;reg_state is NETREG_UNREGISTERED,
for dev_change_net_namespace(), dev-&gt;reg_state is
NETREG_REGISTERED. So check for dev-&gt;reg_state != NETREG_UNREGISTERED.
