commit 1cc5ef91d2ff94d2bf2de3b3585423e8a1051cb6 upstream.

The indexes to the nf_nat_l[34]protos arrays come from userspace. So
check the tuple's family, e.g. l3num, when creating the conntrack in
order to prevent an OOB memory access during setup.  Here is an example
kernel panic on 4.14.180 when userspace passes in an index greater than
NFPROTO_NUMPROTO.

Change it to 5GHz as there isn't a separate option available for 6GHz.

[ Upstream commit df12eb6d6cd920ab2f0e0a43cd6e1c23a05cea91 ]

Whenever the vsock backend on the host sends a packet through the RX
queue, it expects an answer on the TX queue. Unfortunately, there is one
case where the host side will hang waiting for the answer and might
effectively never recover if no timeout mechanism was implemented.

This issue happens when the guest side starts binding to the socket,
which insert a new bound socket into the list of already bound sockets.
At this time, we expect the guest to also start listening, which will
trigger the sk_state to move from TCP_CLOSE to TCP_LISTEN. The problem
occurs if the host side queued a RX packet and triggered an interrupt
right between the end of the binding process and the beginning of the
listening process. In this specific case, the function processing the
packet virtio_transport_recv_pkt() will find a bound socket, which means
it will hit the switch statement checking for the sk_state, but the
state won't be changed into TCP_LISTEN yet, which leads the code to pick
the default statement. This default statement will only free the buffer,
while it should also respond to the host side, by sending a packet on
its TX queue.

In order to simply fix this unfortunate chain of events, it is important
that in case the default statement is entered, and because at this stage
we know the host side is waiting for an answer, we must send back a
packet containing the operation VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_RST.

One could say that a proper timeout mechanism on the host side will be
enough to avoid the backend to hang. But the point of this patch is to
ensure the normal use case will be provided with proper responsiveness
when it comes to establishing the connection.

[ Upstream commit 4c7246dc45e2706770d5233f7ce1597a07e069ba ]

We are going to add 'struct vsock_sock *' parameter to
virtio_transport_get_ops().

In some cases, like in the virtio_transport_reset_no_sock(),
we don't have any socket assigned to the packet received,
so we can't use the virtio_transport_get_ops().

In order to allow virtio_transport_reset_no_sock() to use the
'.send_pkt' callback from the 'vhost_transport' or 'virtio_transport',
we add the 'struct virtio_transport *' to it and to its caller:
virtio_transport_recv_pkt().

We moved the 'vhost_transport' and 'virtio_transport' definition,
to pass their address to the virtio_transport_recv_pkt().

When LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP is enabled and CRYPTO is disabled, it results in unmet
direct dependencies config warning. The reason is that LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP
selects CRYPTO_AES and CRYPTO_CCM, which are subordinate to CRYPTO. This is
reproducible with CRYPTO disabled and R8188EU enabled, where R8188EU selects
LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP but does not select or depend on CRYPTO.

<title>batman-adv: mcast: fix duplicate mcast packets from BLA backbone to mesh</title>

[ Upstream commit 2369e827046920ef0599e6a36b975ac5c0a359c2 ]

Scenario:
* Multicast frame send from BLA backbone gateways (multiple nodes
  with their bat0 bridged together, with BLA enabled) sharing the same
  LAN to nodes in the mesh

Issue:
* Nodes receive the frame multiple times on bat0 from the mesh,
  once from each foreign BLA backbone gateway which shares the same LAN
  with another

For multicast frames via batman-adv broadcast packets coming from the
same BLA backbone but from different backbone gateways duplicates are
currently detected via a CRC history of previously received packets.

However this CRC so far was not performed for multicast frames received
via batman-adv unicast packets. Fixing this by appyling the same check
for such packets, too.

Room for improvements in the future: Ideally we would introduce the
possibility to not only claim a client, but a complete originator, too.
This would allow us to only send a multicast-in-unicast packet from a BLA
backbone gateway claiming the node and by that avoid potential redundant
transmissions in the first place.

[ Upstream commit 74c09b7275126da1b642b90c9cdc3ae8b729ad4b ]

Scenario:
* Multicast frame send from mesh to a BLA backbone (multiple nodes
  with their bat0 bridged together, with BLA enabled)

Issue:
* BLA backbone nodes receive the frame multiple times on bat0,
  once from mesh-&gt;bat0 and once from each backbone_gw from LAN

For unicast, a node will send only to the best backbone gateway
according to the TQ. However for multicast we currently cannot determine
if multiple destination nodes share the same backbone if they don't share
the same backbone with us. So we need to keep sending the unicasts to
all backbone gateways and let the backbone gateways decide which one
will forward the frame. We can use the CLAIM mechanism to make this
decision.

One catch: The batman-adv gateway feature for DHCP packets potentially
sends multicast packets in the same batman-adv unicast header as the
multicast optimizations code. And we are not allowed to drop those even
if we did not claim the source address of the sender, as for such
packets there is only this one multicast-in-unicast packet.

How can we distinguish the two cases?

The gateway feature uses a batman-adv unicast 4 address header. While
the multicast-to-unicasts feature uses a simple, 3 address batman-adv
unicast header. So let's use this to distinguish.

<title>batman-adv: mcast: fix duplicate mcast packets in BLA backbone from LAN</title>

[ Upstream commit 3236d215ad38a3f5372e65cd1e0a52cf93d3c6a2 ]

Scenario:
* Multicast frame send from a BLA backbone (multiple nodes with
  their bat0 bridged together, with BLA enabled)

Issue:
* BLA backbone nodes receive the frame multiple times on bat0

For multicast frames received via batman-adv broadcast packets the
originator of the broadcast packet is checked before decapsulating and
forwarding the frame to bat0 (batadv_bla_is_backbone_gw()-&gt;
batadv_recv_bcast_packet()). If it came from a node which shares the
same BLA backbone with us then it is not forwarded to bat0 to avoid a
loop.

When sending a multicast frame in a non-4-address batman-adv unicast
packet we are currently missing this check - and cannot do so because
the batman-adv unicast packet has no originator address field.

However, we can simply fix this on the sender side by only sending the
multicast frame via unicasts to interested nodes which do not share the
same BLA backbone with us. This also nicely avoids some unnecessary
transmissions on mesh side.

Note that no infinite loop was observed, probably because of dropping
via batadv_interface_tx()-&gt;batadv_bla_tx(). However the duplicates still
utterly confuse switches/bridges, ICMPv6 duplicate address detection and
neighbor discovery and therefore leads to long delays before being able
to establish TCP connections, for instance. And it also leads to the Linux
bridge printing messages like:
"br-lan: received packet on eth1 with own address as source address ..."

[ Upstream commit 4bba9dab86b6ac15ca560ef1f2b5aa4529cbf784 ]

The fix for receiving (internally generated) bla packets outside the
interrupt context introduced the usage of in_interrupt(). But this
functionality is only defined in linux/preempt.h which was not included
with the same patch.
