[ Upstream commit 3226b158e67cfaa677fd180152bfb28989cb2fac ]

Both virtio net and napi_get_frags() allocate skbs
with a very small skb-&gt;head

While using page fragments instead of a kmalloc backed skb-&gt;head might give
a small performance improvement in some cases, there is a huge risk of
under estimating memory usage.

For both GOOD_COPY_LEN and GRO_MAX_HEAD, we can fit at least 32 allocations
per page (order-3 page in x86), or even 64 on PowerPC

We have been tracking OOM issues on GKE hosts hitting tcp_mem limits
but consuming far more memory for TCP buffers than instructed in tcp_mem[2]

Even if we force napi_alloc_skb() to only use order-0 pages, the issue
would still be there on arches with PAGE_SIZE &gt;= 32768

This patch makes sure that small skb head are kmalloc backed, so that
other objects in the slab page can be reused instead of being held as long
as skbs are sitting in socket queues.

Note that we might in the future use the sk_buff napi cache,
instead of going through a more expensive __alloc_skb()

Another idea would be to use separate page sizes depending
on the allocated length (to never have more than 4 frags per page)

I would like to thank Greg Thelen for his precious help on this matter,
analysing crash dumps is always a time consuming task.

<title>rxrpc: Fix handling of an unsupported token type in rxrpc_read()</title>

[ Upstream commit d52e419ac8b50c8bef41b398ed13528e75d7ad48 ]

Clang static analysis reports the following:

net/rxrpc/key.c:657:11: warning: Assigned value is garbage or undefined
                toksize = toksizes[tok++];
                        ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

rxrpc_read() contains two consecutive loops.  The first loop calculates the
token sizes and stores the results in toksizes[] and the second one uses
the array.  When there is an error in identifying the token in the first
loop, the token is skipped, no change is made to the toksizes[] array.
When the same error happens in the second loop, the token is not skipped.
This will cause the toksizes[] array to be out of step and will overrun
past the calculated sizes.

Fix this by making both loops log a message and return an error in this
case.  This should only happen if a new token type is incompletely
implemented, so it should normally be impossible to trigger this.

[ Upstream commit df85bc140a4d6cbaa78d8e9c35154e1a2f0622c7 ]

In commit 826f328e2b7e ("net: dcb: Validate netlink message in DCB
handler"), Linux started rejecting RTM_GETDCB netlink messages if they
contained a set-like DCB_CMD_ command.

The reason was that privileges were only verified for RTM_SETDCB messages,
but the value that determined the action to be taken is the command, not
the message type. And validation of message type against the DCB command
was the obvious missing piece.

Unfortunately it turns out that mlnx_qos, a somewhat widely deployed tool
for configuration of DCB, accesses the DCB set-like APIs through
RTM_GETDCB.

Therefore do not bounce the discrepancy between message type and command.
Instead, in addition to validating privileges based on the actual message
type, validate them also based on the expected message type. This closes
the loophole of allowing DCB configuration on non-admin accounts, while
maintaining backward compatibility.

[ Upstream commit 826f328e2b7e8854dd42ea44e6519cd75018e7b1 ]

DCB uses the same handler function for both RTM_GETDCB and RTM_SETDCB
messages. dcb_doit() bounces RTM_SETDCB mesasges if the user does not have
the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.

However, the operation to be performed is not decided from the DCB message
type, but from the DCB command. Thus DCB_CMD_*_GET commands are used for
reading DCB objects, the corresponding SET and DEL commands are used for
manipulation.

The assumption is that set-like commands will be sent via an RTM_SETDCB
message, and get-like ones via RTM_GETDCB. However, this assumption is not
enforced.

It is therefore possible to manipulate DCB objects without CAP_NET_ADMIN
capability by sending the corresponding command in an RTM_GETDCB message.
That is a bug. Fix it by validating the type of the request message against
the type used for the response.

commit 86b53fbf08f48d353a86a06aef537e78e82ba721 upstream.

A return value of 0 means success. This is documented in lib/kstrtox.c.

This was found by trying to mount an NFS share from a link-local IPv6
address with the interface specified by its index:

  mount("[fe80::1%1]:/srv/nfs", "/mnt", "nfs", 0, "nolock,addr=fe80::1%1")

Before this commit this failed with EINVAL and also caused the following
message in dmesg:

  [...] NFS: bad IP address specified: addr=fe80::1%1

The syscall using the same address based on the interface name instead
of its index succeeds.

Credits for this patch go to my colleague Christian Speich, who traced
the origin of this bug to this line of code.

<title>net: drop bogus skb with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and offset beyond end of trimmed packet</title>

commit 54970a2fbb673f090b7f02d7f57b10b2e0707155 upstream.

syzbot reproduces BUG_ON in skb_checksum_help():
tun creates (bogus) skb with huge partial-checksummed area and
small ip packet inside. Then ip_rcv trims the skb based on size
of internal ip packet, after that csum offset points beyond of
trimmed skb. Then checksum_tg() called via netfilter hook
triggers BUG_ON:

        offset = skb_checksum_start_offset(skb);
        BUG_ON(offset &gt;= skb_headlen(skb));

To work around the problem this patch forces pskb_trim_rcsum_slow()
to return -EINVAL in described scenario. It allows its callers to
drop such kind of packets.

commit 54970a2fbb673f090b7f02d7f57b10b2e0707155 upstream.

syzbot reproduces BUG_ON in skb_checksum_help():
tun creates (bogus) skb with huge partial-checksummed area and
small ip packet inside. Then ip_rcv trims the skb based on size
of internal ip packet, after that csum offset points beyond of
trimmed skb. Then checksum_tg() called via netfilter hook
triggers BUG_ON:

        offset = skb_checksum_start_offset(skb);
        BUG_ON(offset &gt;= skb_headlen(skb));

To work around the problem this patch forces pskb_trim_rcsum_slow()
to return -EINVAL in described scenario. It allows its callers to
drop such kind of packets.

[ Upstream commit 50c661670f6a3908c273503dfa206dfc7aa54c07 ]

For some reason ip_tunnel insist on setting the DF bit anyway when the
inner header has the DF bit set, EVEN if the tunnel was configured with
'nopmtudisc'.

This means that the script added in the previous commit
cannot be made to work by adding the 'nopmtudisc' flag to the
ip tunnel configuration. Doing so breaks connectivity even for the
without-conntrack/netfilter scenario.

When nopmtudisc is set, the tunnel will skip the mtu check, so no
icmp error is sent to client. Then, because inner header has DF set,
the outer header gets added with DF bit set as well.

IP stack then sends an error to itself because the packet exceeds
the device MTU.

<title>net: ip: always refragment ip defragmented packets</title>

[ Upstream commit bb4cc1a18856a73f0ff5137df0c2a31f4c50f6cf ]

Conntrack reassembly records the largest fragment size seen in IPCB.
However, when this gets forwarded/transmitted, fragmentation will only
be forced if one of the fragmented packets had the DF bit set.

In that case, a flag in IPCB will force fragmentation even if the
MTU is large enough.

This should work fine, but this breaks with ip tunnels.
Consider client that sends a UDP datagram of size X to another host.

The client fragments the datagram, so two packets, of size y and z, are
sent. DF bit is not set on any of these packets.

Middlebox netfilter reassembles those packets back to single size-X
packet, before routing decision.

packet-size-vs-mtu checks in ip_forward are irrelevant, because DF bit
isn't set.  At output time, ip refragmentation is skipped as well
because x is still smaller than the mtu of the output device.

If ttransmit device is an ip tunnel, the packet size increases to
x+overhead.

Also, tunnel might be configured to force DF bit on outer header.

In this case, packet will be dropped (exceeds MTU) and an ICMP error is
generated back to sender.

But sender already respects the announced MTU, all the packets that
it sent did fit the announced mtu.

Force refragmentation as per original sizes unconditionally so ip tunnel
will encapsulate the fragments instead.

The only other solution I see is to place ip refragmentation in
the ip_tunnel code to handle this case.
