[ Upstream commit 930c9f9125c85b5134b3e711bc252ecc094708e3 ]

rxrpc_disconnect_client_call() reads the call's connection ID protocol
value (call-&gt;cid) as part of that function's variable declarations.  This
is bad because it's not inside the locked section and so may race with
someone granting use of the channel to the call.

This manifests as an assertion failure (see below) where the call in the
presumed channel (0 because call-&gt;cid wasn't set when we read it) doesn't
match the call attached to the channel we were actually granted (if 1, 2 or
3).

Fix this by moving the read and dependent calculations inside of the
channel_lock section.  Also, only set the channel number and pointer
variables if cid is not zero (ie. unset).

This problem can be induced by injecting an occasional error in
rxrpc_wait_for_channel() before the call to schedule().

Make two further changes also:

 (1) Add a trace for wait failure in rxrpc_connect_call().

 (2) Drop channel_lock before BUG'ing in the case of the assertion failure.

The failure causes a trace akin to the following:

rxrpc: Assertion failed - 18446612685268945920(0xffff8880beab8c00) == 18446612685268621312(0xffff8880bea69800) is false

commit e1ede312f17e96a9c5cda9aaa1cdcf442c1a5da8 upstream.

We want to drain only the RQ first. Otherwise the transport can
deadlock on -&gt;close if there are outstanding Send completions.

[ Upstream commit 9a5a90d167b0e5fe3d47af16b68fd09ce64085cd ]

__netif_receive_skb_list_ptype() leaves skb-&gt;next poisoned before passing
it to pt_prev-&gt;func handler, what may produce (in certain cases, e.g. DSA
setup) crashes like:

[ Upstream commit 1515a63fc413f160d20574ab0894e7f1020c7be2 ]

We need to be careful and always zero the whole br_ip struct when it is
used for matching since the rhashtable change. This patch fixes all the
places which didn't properly clear it which in turn might've caused
mismatches.

Thanks for the great bug report with reproducing steps and bisection.

Steps to reproduce (from the bug report):
ip link add br0 type bridge mcast_querier 1
ip link set br0 up

ip link add v2 type veth peer name v3
ip link set v2 master br0
ip link set v2 up
ip link set v3 up
ip addr add 3.0.0.2/24 dev v3

ip netns add test
ip link add v1 type veth peer name v1 netns test
ip link set v1 master br0
ip link set v1 up
ip -n test link set v1 up
ip -n test addr add 3.0.0.1/24 dev v1

# Multicast receiver
ip netns exec test socat

[ Upstream commit 2a3cabae4536edbcb21d344e7aa8be7a584d2afb ]

erspan_v6 tunnels run __iptunnel_pull_header on received skbs to remove
erspan header. This can determine a possible use-after-free accessing
pkt_md pointer in ip6erspan_rcv since the packet will be 'uncloned'
running pskb_expand_head if it is a cloned gso skb (e.g if the packet has
been sent though a veth device). Fix it resetting pkt_md pointer after

[ Upstream commit 492b67e28ee5f2a2522fb72e3d3bcb990e461514 ]

erspan tunnels run __iptunnel_pull_header on received skbs to remove
gre and erspan headers. This can determine a possible use-after-free
accessing pkt_md pointer in erspan_rcv since the packet will be 'uncloned'
running pskb_expand_head if it is a cloned gso skb (e.g if the packet has
been sent though a veth device). Fix it resetting pkt_md pointer after
__iptunnel_pull_header

[ Upstream commit 8c83f2df9c6578ea4c5b940d8238ad8a41b87e9e ]

Configuration check to accept source route IP options should be made on
the incoming netdevice when the skb-&gt;dev is an l3mdev master. The route
lookup for the source route next hop also needs the incoming netdev.

v2-&gt;v3:
- Simplify by passing the original netdevice down the stack (per David
  Ahern).

<title>tcp: Ensure DCTCP reacts to losses</title>

[ Upstream commit aecfde23108b8e637d9f5c5e523b24fb97035dc3 ]

RFC8257 §3.5 explicitly states that "A DCTCP sender MUST react to
loss episodes in the same way as conventional TCP".

Currently, Linux DCTCP performs no cwnd reduction when losses
are encountered. Optionally, the dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss resets
alpha to its maximal value if a RTO happens. This behavior
is sub-optimal for at least two reasons: i) it ignores losses
triggering fast retransmissions; and ii) it causes unnecessary large
cwnd reduction in the future if the loss was isolated as it resets
the historical term of DCTCP's alpha EWMA to its maximal value (i.e.,
denoting a total congestion). The second reason has an especially
noticeable effect when using DCTCP in high BDP environments, where
alpha normally stays at low values.

This patch replace the clamping of alpha by setting ssthresh to
half of cwnd for both fast retransmissions and RTOs, at most once
per RTT. Consequently, the dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss module parameter
has been removed.

The table below shows experimental results where we measured the
drop probability of a PIE AQM (not applying ECN marks) at a
bottleneck in the presence of a single TCP flow with either the
alpha-clamping option enabled or the cwnd halving proposed by this
patch. Results using reno or cubic are given for comparison.

                          |  Link   |   RTT    |    Drop
                 TCP CC   |  speed  | base+AQM | probability
        ==================|=========|==========|============
                    CUBIC |  40Mbps |  7+20ms  |    0.21%
                     RENO |         |          |    0.19%
        DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA |         |          |   25.80%
         DCTCP-HALVE-CWND |         |          |    0.22%
        ------------------|---------|----------|------------
                    CUBIC | 100Mbps |  7+20ms  |    0.03%
                     RENO |         |          |    0.02%
        DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA |         |          |   23.30%
         DCTCP-HALVE-CWND |         |          |    0.04%
        ------------------|---------|----------|------------
                    CUBIC | 800Mbps |   1+1ms  |    0.04%
                     RENO |         |          |    0.05%
        DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA |         |          |   18.70%
         DCTCP-HALVE-CWND |         |          |    0.06%

We see that, without halving its cwnd for all source of losses,
DCTCP drives the AQM to large drop probabilities in order to keep
the queue length under control (i.e., it repeatedly faces RTOs).
Instead, if DCTCP reacts to all source of losses, it can then be
controlled by the AQM using similar drop levels than cubic or reno.
