[ Upstream commit ad02c4f547826167a709dab8a89a1caefd2c1f50 ]

For TCP sockets, TX timestamps are only captured when the user data
is successfully and fully written to the socket. In many cases,
however, TCP writes can be partial for which no timestamp is
collected.

Collect timestamps whenever any user data is (fully or partially)
copied into the socket. Pass tcp_write_queue_tail to tcp_tx_timestamp
instead of the local skb pointer since it can be set to NULL on
the error path.

Note that tcp_write_queue_tail can be NULL, even if bytes have been
copied to the socket. This is because acknowledgements are being
processed in tcp_sendmsg(), and by the time tcp_tx_timestamp is
called tcp_write_queue_tail can be NULL. For such cases, this patch
does not collect any timestamps (i.e., it is best-effort).

This patch is written with suggestions from Willem de Bruijn and
Eric Dumazet.

Change-log V1 -&gt; V2:
	- Use sockc.tsflags instead of sk-&gt;sk_tsflags.
	- Use the same code path for normal writes and errors.

commit e1bf1687740ce1a3598a1c5e452b852ff2190682 upstream.

This reverts commit 870190a9ec9075205c0fa795a09fa931694a3ff1.

It was not a good idea. The custom hash table was a much better
fit for this purpose.

A fast lookup is not essential, in fact for most cases there is no lookup
at all because original tuple is not taken and can be used as-is.
What needs to be fast is insertion and deletion.

rhlist removal however requires a rhlist walk.
We can have thousands of entries in such a list if source port/addresses
are reused for multiple flows, if this happens removal requests are so
expensive that deletions of a few thousand flows can take several
seconds(!).

The advantages that we got from rhashtable are:
1) table auto-sizing
2) multiple locks

1) would be nice to have, but it is not essential as we have at
most one lookup per new flow, so even a million flows in the bysource
table are not a problem compared to current deletion cost.
2) is easy to add to custom hash table.

I tried to add hlist_node to rhlist to speed up rhltable_remove but this
isn't doable without changing semantics.  rhltable_remove_fast will
check that the to-be-deleted object is part of the table and that
requires a list walk that we want to avoid.

Furthermore, using hlist_node increases size of struct rhlist_head, which
in turn increases nf_conn size.

successful insert into the bysource hash sets IPS_SRC_NAT_DONE status bit

extra deref.

commit cfbb0d90a7abb289edc91833d0905931f8805f12 upstream.

For the reinstall prevention, the code I had added compares the
whole key. It turns out though that iwlwifi firmware doesn't
provide the TKIP TX MIC key as it's not needed in client mode,
and thus the comparison will always return false.

For client mode, thus always zero out the TX MIC key part before
doing the comparison in order to avoid accepting the reinstall
of the key with identical encryption and RX MIC key, but not the
same TX MIC key (since the supplicant provides the real one.)

commit fdf7cb4185b60c68e1a75e61691c4afdc15dea0e upstream.

When a key is reinstalled we can reset the replay counters
etc. which can lead to nonce reuse and/or replay detection
being impossible, breaking security properties, as described
in the "KRACK attacks".

In particular, CVE-2017-13080 applies to GTK rekeying that
happened in firmware while the host is in D3, with the second
part of the attack being done after the host wakes up. In
this case, the wpa_supplicant mitigation isn't sufficient
since wpa_supplicant doesn't know the GTK material.

In case this happens, simply silently accept the new key
coming from userspace but don't take any action on it since
it's the same key; this keeps the PN replay counters intact.

[ Upstream commit 50317fce2cc70a2bbbc4b42c31bbad510382a53c ]

Davide found the following script triggers a NULL pointer
dereference:

ip l a name eth0 type dummy
tc q a dev eth0 parent :1 handle 1: htb

This is because for a freshly created netdevice noop_qdisc
is attached and when passing 'parent :1', kernel actually
tries to match the major handle which is 0 and noop_qdisc
has handle 0 so is matched by mistake. Commit 69012ae425d7
tries to fix a similar bug but still misses this case.

Handle 0 is not a valid one, should be just skipped. In
fact, kernel uses it as TC_H_UNSPEC.

<title>sctp: reset owner sk for data chunks on out queues when migrating a sock</title>

[ Upstream commit d04adf1b355181e737b6b1e23d801b07f0b7c4c0 ]

Now when migrating sock to another one in sctp_sock_migrate(), it only
resets owner sk for the data in receive queues, not the chunks on out
queues.

It would cause that data chunks length on the sock is not consistent
with sk sk_wmem_alloc. When closing the sock or freeing these chunks,
the old sk would never be freed, and the new sock may crash due to
the overflow sk_wmem_alloc.

syzbot found this issue with this series:

  r0 = socket$inet_sctp()
  sendto$inet(r0)
  listen(r0)
  accept4(r0)
  close(r0)

Although listen() should have returned error when one TCP-style socket
is in connecting (I may fix this one in another patch), it could also
be reproduced by peeling off an assoc.

This issue is there since very beginning.

This patch is to reset owner sk for the chunks on out queues so that
sk sk_wmem_alloc has correct value after accept one sock or peeloff
an assoc to one sock.

Note that when resetting owner sk for chunks on outqueue, it has to
sctp_clear_owner_w/skb_orphan chunks before changing assoc-&gt;base.sk
first and then sctp_set_owner_w them after changing assoc-&gt;base.sk,
due to that sctp_wfree and it's callees are using assoc-&gt;base.sk.

This issue is there since very beginning.

This patch is to reset owner sk for the chunks on out queues so that
sk sk_wmem_alloc has correct value after accept one sock or peeloff
an assoc to one sock.

Note that when resetting owner sk for chunks on outqueue, it has to
sctp_clear_owner_w/skb_orphan chunks before changing assoc-&gt;base.sk
first and then sctp_set_owner_w them after changing assoc-&gt;base.sk,
due to that sctp_wfree and it's callees are using assoc-&gt;base.sk.

[ Upstream commit 8aec4959d832bae0889a8e2f348973b5e4abffef ]

When receiving a Toobig icmpv6 packet, ip6gre_err would just set
tunnel dev's mtu, that's not enough. For skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu may
still be using the old value, it has no chance to be updated with
tunnel dev's mtu.

Jianlin found this issue by reducing route's mtu while running
netperf, the performance went to 0.

ip6ip6 and ip4ip6 tunnel can work well with this, as they lookup
the upper dst and update_pmtu it's pmtu or icmpv6_send a Toobig
to upper socket after setting tunnel dev's mtu.

We couldn't do that for ip6_gre, as gre's inner packet could be
any protocol, it's difficult to handle them (like lookup upper
dst) in a good way.

So this patch is to fix it by updating skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu when
dev-&gt;mtu &lt; skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu in tx path. It's safe to do this
update there, as usually dev-&gt;mtu &lt;= skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu and no
performance regression can be caused by this.

[ Upstream commit f8d20b46ce55cf40afb30dcef6d9288f7ef46d9b ]

The similar fix in patch 'ipip: only increase err_count for some
certain type icmp in ipip_err' is needed for ip6gre_err.

In Jianlin's case, udp netperf broke even when receiving a TooBig
icmpv6 packet.
