[ Upstream commit 6ee50c8e262a0f0693dad264c3c99e30e6442a56 ]

The .x25_addr[] address comes from the user and is not necessarily
NUL terminated.  This leads to a couple problems.  The first problem is
that the strlen() in x25_bind() can read beyond the end of the buffer.

The second problem is more subtle and could result in memory corruption.
The call tree is:
  x25_connect()
  --&gt; x25_write_internal()
      --&gt; x25_addr_aton()

The .x25_addr[] buffers are copied to the "addresses" buffer from
x25_write_internal() so it will lead to stack corruption.

Verify that the strings are NUL terminated and return -EINVAL if they
are not.

<title>netfilter: bridge: reset skb-&gt;pkt_type after NF_INET_POST_ROUTING traversal</title>

[ Upstream commit 44f64f23bae2f0fad25503bc7ab86cd08d04cd47 ]

Netfilter changes PACKET_OTHERHOST to PACKET_HOST before invoking the
hooks as, while it's an expected value for a bridge, routing expects
PACKET_HOST. The change is undone later on after hook traversal. This
can be seen with pairs of functions updating skb&gt;pkt_type and then
reverting it to its original value:

For hook NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING:
  setup_pre_routing / br_nf_pre_routing_finish

For hook NF_INET_FORWARD:
  br_nf_forward_ip / br_nf_forward_finish

But the third case where netfilter does this, for hook
NF_INET_POST_ROUTING, the packet type is changed in br_nf_post_routing
but never reverted. A comment says:

  /* We assume any code from br_dev_queue_push_xmit onwards doesn't care
   * about the value of skb-&gt;pkt_type. */

But when having a tunnel (say vxlan) attached to a bridge we have the
following call trace:

  br_nf_pre_routing
  br_nf_pre_routing_ipv6
     br_nf_pre_routing_finish
  br_nf_forward_ip
     br_nf_forward_finish
  br_nf_post_routing           &lt;- pkt_type is updated to PACKET_HOST
     br_nf_dev_queue_xmit      &lt;- but not reverted to its original value
  vxlan_xmit
     vxlan_xmit_one
        skb_tunnel_check_pmtu  &lt;- a check on pkt_type is performed

In this specific case, this creates issues such as when an ICMPv6 PTB
should be sent back. When CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER is enabled, the PTB
isn't sent (as skb_tunnel_check_pmtu checks if pkt_type is PACKET_HOST
and returns early).

If the comment is right and no one cares about the value of
skb-&gt;pkt_type after br_dev_queue_push_xmit (which isn't true), resetting
it to its original value should be safe.

<title>rose: Fix Null pointer dereference in rose_send_frame()</title>

[ Upstream commit 3b3fd068c56e3fbea30090859216a368398e39bf ]

rose_send_frame() dereferences `neigh-&gt;dev` when called from
rose_transmit_clear_request(), and the first occurrence of the
`neigh` is in rose_loopback_timer() as `rose_loopback_neigh`,
and it is initialized in rose_add_loopback_neigh() as NULL.
i.e when `rose_loopback_neigh` used in rose_loopback_timer()
its `-&gt;dev` was still NULL and rose_loopback_timer() was calling
rose_rx_call_request() without checking for NULL.

- net/rose/rose_link.c
This bug seems to get triggered in this line:

rose_call = (ax25_address *)neigh-&gt;dev-&gt;dev_addr;

Fix it by adding NULL checking for `rose_loopback_neigh-&gt;dev`
in rose_loopback_timer().

[ Upstream commit c5dab0941fcdc9664eb0ec0d4d51433216d91336 ]

Child sockets erroneously inherit their parent's sk_type (ie. SOCK_*),
instead of the PF_IUCV protocol that the parent was created with in
iucv_sock_create().

We're currently not using sk-&gt;sk_protocol ourselves, so this shouldn't
have much impact (except eg. getting the output in skb_dump() right).

commit 7bc40aedf24d31d8bea80e1161e996ef4299fb10 upstream.

If sta_info_insert_finish() fails, we currently keep the station
around and free it only in the caller, but there's only one such
caller and it always frees it immediately.

As syzbot found, another consequence of this split is that we can
put things that sleep only into __cleanup_single_sta() and not in
sta_info_free(), but this is the only place that requires such of
sta_info_free() now.

Change this to free the station in sta_info_insert_finish(), in
which case we can still sleep. This will also let us unify the
cleanup code later.

Some devices or drivers cannot deal with having the same station
address for different virtual interfaces, say as a client to two
virtual AP interfaces. Rather than requiring each driver with a
limitation like that to enforce it, add a hardware flag for it.

commit b2911a84396f72149dce310a3b64d8948212c1b3 upstream.

Some drivers fill the status rate list without setting the rate index after
the final rate to -1. minstrel_ht already deals with this, but minstrel
doesn't, which causes it to get stuck at the lowest rate on these drivers.

Fix this by checking the count as well.

Some drivers fill the status rate list without setting the rate index after
the final rate to -1. minstrel_ht already deals with this, but minstrel
doesn't, which causes it to get stuck at the lowest rate on these drivers.

Fix this by checking the count as well.

commit 4fe40b8e1566dad04c87fbf299049a1d0d4bd58d upstream.

Deferring sampling attempts to the second stage has some bad interactions
with drivers that process the rate table in hardware and use the probe flag
to indicate probing packets (e.g. most mt76 drivers). On affected drivers
it can lead to probing not working at all.

If the link conditions turn worse, it might not be such a good idea to
do a lot of sampling for lower rates in this case.

Fix this by simply skipping the sample attempt instead of deferring it,
but keep the checks that would allow it to be sampled if it was skipped
too often, but only if it has less than 95% success probability.

Also ensure that IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE is set for all probing
packets.

<title>net: Have netpoll bring-up DSA management interface</title>

[ Upstream commit 1532b9778478577152201adbafa7738b1e844868 ]

DSA network devices rely on having their DSA management interface up and
running otherwise their ndo_open() will return -ENETDOWN. Without doing
this it would not be possible to use DSA devices as netconsole when
configured on the command line. These devices also do not utilize the
upper/lower linking so the check about the netpoll device having upper
is not going to be a problem.

The solution adopted here is identical to the one done for
net/ipv4/ipconfig.c with 728c02089a0e ("net: ipv4: handle DSA enabled
master network devices"), with the network namespace scope being
restricted to that of the process configuring netpoll.

[ Upstream commit 057a10fa1f73d745c8e69aa54ab147715f5630ae ]

A call trace was found in Hangbin's Codenomicon testing with debug kernel:

This is because it holds asoc when transport-&gt;proto_unreach_timer starts
and puts asoc when the timer stops, and without holding transport the
transport could be freed when the timer is still running.

So fix it by holding/putting transport instead for proto_unreach_timer
in transport, just like other timers in transport.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - Also use sctp_transport_put() for the "out_unlock:" path in
    sctp_generate_proto_unreach_event(), as Marcelo noticed.
