[ Upstream commit e78bfb0751d4e312699106ba7efbed2bab1a53ca ]

Commit 8b7008620b84 ("net: Don't copy pfmemalloc flag in
__copy_skb_header()") introduced a different handling for the
pfmemalloc flag in copy and clone paths.

In __skb_clone(), now, the flag is set only if it was set in the
original skb, but not cleared if it wasn't. This is wrong and
might lead to socket buffers being flagged with pfmemalloc even
if the skb data wasn't allocated from pfmemalloc reserves. Copy
the flag instead of ORing it.

[ Upstream commit 8b7008620b8452728cadead460a36f64ed78c460 ]

The pfmemalloc flag indicates that the skb was allocated from
the PFMEMALLOC reserves, and the flag is currently copied on skb
copy and clone.

However, an skb copied from an skb flagged with pfmemalloc
wasn't necessarily allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserves, and on
the other hand an skb allocated that way might be copied from an
skb that wasn't.

So we should not copy the flag on skb copy, and rather decide
whether to allow an skb to be associated with sockets unrelated
to page reclaim depending only on how it was allocated.

Move the pfmemalloc flag before headers_start[0] using an
existing 1-bit hole, so that __copy_skb_header() doesn't copy
it.

When cloning, we'll now take care of this flag explicitly,
contravening to the warning comment of __skb_clone().

While at it, restore the newline usage introduced by commit
b19372273164 ("net: reorganize sk_buff for faster
__copy_skb_header()") to visually separate bytes used in
bitfields after headers_start[0], that was gone after commit
a9e419dc7be6 ("netfilter: merge ctinfo into nfct pointer storage
area"), and describe the pfmemalloc flag in the kernel-doc
structure comment.

This doesn't change the size of sk_buff or cacheline boundaries,
but consolidates the 15 bits hole before tc_index into a 2 bytes
hole before csum, that could now be filled more easily.

Xin reported that icmp replies may not use the address on the device the
echo request is received if the destination address is broadcast. Instead
a route lookup is done without considering VRF context. Fix by setting
oif in flow struct to the master device if it is enslaved. That directs
the lookup to the VRF table. If the device is not enslaved, oif is still
0 so no affect.

<title>ipv4: Return EINVAL when ping_group_range sysctl doesn't map to user ns</title>

[ Upstream commit 70ba5b6db96ff7324b8cfc87e0d0383cf59c9677 ]

The low and high values of the net.ipv4.ping_group_range sysctl were
being silently forced to the default disabled state when a write to the
sysctl contained GIDs that didn't map to the associated user namespace.
Confusingly, the sysctl's write operation would return success and then
a subsequent read of the sysctl would indicate that the low and high
values are the overflowgid.

This patch changes the behavior by clearly returning an error when the
sysctl write operation receives a GID range that doesn't map to the
associated user namespace. In such a situation, the previous value of
the sysctl is preserved and that range will be returned in a subsequent
read of the sysctl.

commit 3bc53be9db21040b5d2de4d455f023c8c494aa68 upstream.

syzbot is reporting stalls at nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() [1]. This is
because nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() is retrying the loop without any delay
when nonblocking nfc_alloc_send_skb() returned NULL.

Since there is no need to use MSG_DONTWAIT if we retry until
sock_alloc_send_pskb() succeeds, let's use blocking call.
Also, in case an unexpected error occurred, let's break the loop
if blocking nfc_alloc_send_skb() failed.

Loop transport which is self loopback, remote port congestion

Receive path needs to do the same.

<title>KEYS: DNS: fix parsing multiple options</title>

commit c604cb767049b78b3075497b80ebb8fd530ea2cc upstream.

My recent fix for dns_resolver_preparse() printing very long strings was
incomplete, as shown by syzbot which still managed to hit the
WARN_ONCE() in set_precision() by adding a crafted "dns_resolver" key:

    precision 50001 too large
    WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 864 at lib/vsprintf.c:2164 vsnprintf+0x48a/0x5a0

The bug this time isn't just a printing bug, but also a logical error
when multiple options ("#"-separated strings) are given in the key
payload.  Specifically, when separating an option string into name and
value, if there is no value then the name is incorrectly considered to
end at the end of the key payload, rather than the end of the current
option.  This bypasses validation of the option length, and also means
that specifying multiple options is broken -- which presumably has gone
unnoticed as there is currently only one valid option anyway.

A similar problem also applied to option values, as the kstrtoul() when
parsing the "dnserror" option will read past the end of the current
option and into the next option.

Fix these bugs by correctly computing the length of the option name and
by copying the option value, null-terminated, into a temporary buffer.

Reproducer for the WARN_ONCE() that syzbot hit:

    perl -e 'print "#A#", "\0" x 50000' | keyctl padd dns_resolver desc @s

Reproducer for "dnserror" option being parsed incorrectly (expected
behavior is to fail when seeing the unknown option "foo", actual
behavior was to read the dnserror value as "1#foo" and fail there):

    perl -e 'print "#dnserror=1#foo\0"' | keyctl padd dns_resolver desc @s

commit 11ff7288beb2b7da889a014aff0a7b80bf8efcf3 upstream.

the ebtables evaluation loop expects targets to return
positive values (jumps), or negative values (absolute verdicts).

This is completely different from what xtables does.
In xtables, targets are expected to return the standard netfilter
verdicts, i.e. NF_DROP, NF_ACCEPT, etc.

ebtables will consider these as jumps.

Therefore reject any target found due to unspec fallback.
v2: also reject watchers.  ebtables ignores their return value, so
a target that assumes skb ownership (and returns NF_STOLEN) causes
use-after-free.

The only watchers in the 'ebtables' front-end are log and nflog;
both have AF_BRIDGE specific wrappers on kernel side.

commit 11ff7288beb2b7da889a014aff0a7b80bf8efcf3 upstream.

the ebtables evaluation loop expects targets to return
positive values (jumps), or negative values (absolute verdicts).

This is completely different from what xtables does.
In xtables, targets are expected to return the standard netfilter
verdicts, i.e. NF_DROP, NF_ACCEPT, etc.

ebtables will consider these as jumps.

Therefore reject any target found due to unspec fallback.
v2: also reject watchers.  ebtables ignores their return value, so
a target that assumes skb ownership (and returns NF_STOLEN) causes
use-after-free.

The only watchers in the 'ebtables' front-end are log and nflog;
both have AF_BRIDGE specific wrappers on kernel side.

[ Upstream commit 7e85dc8cb35abf16455f1511f0670b57c1a84608 ]

When blackhole is used on top of classful qdisc like hfsc it breaks
qlen and backlog counters because packets are disappear without notice.

In HFSC non-zero qlen while all classes are inactive triggers warning:
WARNING: ... at net/sched/sch_hfsc.c:1393 hfsc_dequeue+0xba4/0xe90 [sch_hfsc]
and schedules watchdog work endlessly.

This patch return __NET_XMIT_BYPASS in addition to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS,
this flag tells upper layer: this packet is gone and isn't queued.

<title>tcp: prevent bogus FRTO undos with non-SACK flows</title>

[ Upstream commit 1236f22fbae15df3736ab4a984c64c0c6ee6254c ]

If SACK is not enabled and the first cumulative ACK after the RTO
retransmission covers more than the retransmitted skb, a spurious
FRTO undo will trigger (assuming FRTO is enabled for that RTO).
The reason is that any non-retransmitted segment acknowledged will
set FLAG_ORIG_SACK_ACKED in tcp_clean_rtx_queue even if there is
no indication that it would have been delivered for real (the
scoreboard is not kept with TCPCB_SACKED_ACKED bits in the non-SACK
case so the check for that bit won't help like it does with SACK).
Having FLAG_ORIG_SACK_ACKED set results in the spurious FRTO undo
in tcp_process_loss.

We need to use more strict condition for non-SACK case and check
that none of the cumulatively ACKed segments were retransmitted
to prove that progress is due to original transmissions. Only then
keep FLAG_ORIG_SACK_ACKED set, allowing FRTO undo to proceed in
non-SACK case.

(FLAG_ORIG_SACK_ACKED is planned to be renamed to FLAG_ORIG_PROGRESS
to better indicate its purpose but to keep this change minimal, it
will be done in another patch).

Besides burstiness and congestion control violations, this problem
can result in RTO loop: When the loss recovery is prematurely
undoed, only new data will be transmitted (if available) and
the next retransmission can occur only after a new RTO which in case
of multiple losses (that are not for consecutive packets) requires
one RTO per loss to recover.
