commit af6d10345ca76670c1b7c37799f0d5576ccef277 upstream.

In ip6_dst_gc() replace:

  if (entries &gt; gc_thresh)

With:

  if (entries &gt; ops-&gt;gc_thresh)

Sending Ipv6 packets in a loop via a raw socket triggers an issue where a
route is cloned by ip6_rt_cache_alloc() for each packet sent. This quickly
consumes the Ipv6 max_size threshold which defaults to 4096 resulting in
these warnings:

[1]   99.187805] dst_alloc: 7728 callbacks suppressed
[2] Route cache is full: consider increasing sysctl net.ipv6.route.max_size.
.
.
[300] Route cache is full: consider increasing sysctl net.ipv6.route.max_size.

When this happens the packet is dropped and sendto() gets a network is
unreachable error:

remaining pkt 200557 errno 101
remaining pkt 196462 errno 101
.
.
remaining pkt 126821 errno 101

Implement David Aherns suggestion to remove max_size check seeing that Ipv6
has a GC to manage memory usage. Ipv4 already does not check max_size.

Here are some memory comparisons for Ipv4 vs Ipv6 with the patch:

Test by running 5 instances of a program that sends UDP packets to a raw
socket 5000000 times. Compare Ipv4 and Ipv6 performance with a similar
program.

<title>bpf: syzkaller found null ptr deref in unix_bpf proto add</title>

commit 8d6650646ce49e9a5b8c5c23eb94f74b1749f70f upstream.

I added logic to track the sock pair for stream_unix sockets so that we
ensure lifetime of the sock matches the time a sockmap could reference
the sock (see fixes tag). I forgot though that we allow af_unix unconnected
sockets into a sock{map|hash} map.

This is problematic because previous fixed expected sk_pair() to exist
and did not NULL check it. Because unconnected sockets have a NULL
sk_pair this resulted in the NULL ptr dereference found by syzkaller.

BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in unix_stream_bpf_update_proto+0x72/0x430 net/unix/unix_bpf.c:171
Write of size 4 at addr 0000000000000080 by task syz-executor360/5073

We considered just checking for the null ptr and skipping taking a ref
on the NULL peer sock. But, if the socket is then connected() after
being added to the sockmap we can cause the original issue again. So
instead this patch blocks adding af_unix sockets that are not in the
ESTABLISHED state.

commit 9bc64bd0cd765f696fcd40fc98909b1f7c73b2ba upstream.

Referenced commit doesn't always set iifidx when offloading the flow to
hardware. Fix the following cases:

- nf_conn_act_ct_ext_fill() is called before extension is created with
nf_conn_act_ct_ext_add() in tcf_ct_act(). This can cause rule offload with
unspecified iifidx when connection is offloaded after only single
original-direction packet has been processed by tc data path. Always fill
the new nf_conn_act_ct_ext instance after creating it in
nf_conn_act_ct_ext_add().

- Offloading of unidirectional UDP NEW connections is now supported, but ct
flow iifidx field is not updated when connection is promoted to
bidirectional which can result reply-direction iifidx to be zero when
refreshing the connection. Fill in the extension and update flow iifidx
before calling flow_offload_refresh().

commit a63b6622120cd03a304796dbccb80655b3a21798 upstream.

Current nf_flow_is_outdated() implementation considers any flow table flow
which state diverged from its underlying CT connection status for teardown
which can be problematic in the following cases:

- Flow has never been offloaded to hardware in the first place either
because flow table has hardware offload disabled (flag
NF_FLOWTABLE_HW_OFFLOAD is not set) or because it is still pending on 'add'
workqueue to be offloaded for the first time. The former is incorrect, the
later generates excessive deletions and additions of flows.

- Flow is already pending to be updated on the workqueue. Tearing down such
flows will also generate excessive removals from the flow table, especially
on highly loaded system where the latency to re-offload a flow via 'add'
workqueue can be quite high.

When considering a flow for teardown as outdated verify that it is both

commit a63b6622120cd03a304796dbccb80655b3a21798 upstream.

Current nf_flow_is_outdated() implementation considers any flow table flow
which state diverged from its underlying CT connection status for teardown
which can be problematic in the following cases:

- Flow has never been offloaded to hardware in the first place either
because flow table has hardware offload disabled (flag
NF_FLOWTABLE_HW_OFFLOAD is not set) or because it is still pending on 'add'
workqueue to be offloaded for the first time. The former is incorrect, the
later generates excessive deletions and additions of flows.

- Flow is already pending to be updated on the workqueue. Tearing down such
flows will also generate excessive removals from the flow table, especially
on highly loaded system where the latency to re-offload a flow via 'add'
workqueue can be quite high.

When considering a flow for teardown as outdated verify that it is both
offloaded to hardware and doesn't have any pending updates.

<title>net/sched: act_ct: Take per-cb reference to tcf_ct_flow_table</title>

[ Upstream commit 125f1c7f26ffcdbf96177abe75b70c1a6ceb17bc ]

The referenced change added custom cleanup code to act_ct to delete any
callbacks registered on the parent block when deleting the
tcf_ct_flow_table instance. However, the underlying issue is that the
drivers don't obtain the reference to the tcf_ct_flow_table instance when
registering callbacks which means that not only driver callbacks may still
be on the table when deleting it but also that the driver can still have
pointers to its internal nf_flowtable and can use it concurrently which
results either warning in netfilter[0] or use-after-free.

Fix the issue by taking a reference to the underlying struct
tcf_ct_flow_table instance when registering the callback and release the
reference when unregistering. Expose new API required for such reference
counting by adding two new callbacks to nf_flowtable_type and implementing
them for act_ct flowtable_ct type. This fixes the issue by extending the
lifetime of nf_flowtable until all users have unregistered.

[ Upstream commit 735795f68b37e9bb49f642407a0d49b1631ea1c7 ]

Since 41f2c7c342d3 ("net/sched: act_ct: Fix promotion of offloaded
unreplied tuple"), flowtable GC pushes back flows with IPS_SEEN_REPLY
back to classic path in every run, ie. every second. This is because of
a new check for NF_FLOW_HW_ESTABLISHED which is specific of sched/act_ct.

In Netfilter's flowtable case, NF_FLOW_HW_ESTABLISHED never gets set on
and IPS_SEEN_REPLY is unreliable since users decide when to offload the
flow before, such bit might be set on at a later stage.

Fix it by adding a custom .gc handler that sched/act_ct can use to
deal with its NF_FLOW_HW_ESTABLISHED bit.

Fix it by adding a custom .gc handler that sched/act_ct can use to
deal with its NF_FLOW_HW_ESTABLISHED bit.

[ Upstream commit 41f2c7c342d3adb1c4dd5f2e3dd831adff16a669 ]

Currently UNREPLIED and UNASSURED connections are added to the nf flow
table. This causes the following connection packets to be processed
by the flow table which then skips conntrack_in(), and thus such the
connections will remain UNREPLIED and UNASSURED even if reply traffic
is then seen. Even still, the unoffloaded reply packets are the ones
triggering hardware update from new to established state, and if
there aren't any to triger an update and/or previous update was
missed, hardware can get out of sync with sw and still mark
packets as new.

Fix the above by:
1) Not skipping conntrack_in() for UNASSURED packets, but still
   refresh for hardware, as before the cited patch.
2) Try and force a refresh by reply-direction packets that update
   the hardware rules from new to established state.
3) Remove any bidirectional flows that didn't failed to update in
   hardware for re-insertion as bidrectional once any new packet
   arrives.

[ Upstream commit 6a9bad0069cf306f3df6ac53cf02438d4e15f296 ]

Modify the offload algorithm of UDP connections to the following:

- Offload NEW connection as unidirectional.

- When connection state changes to ESTABLISHED also update the hardware
flow. However, in order to prevent act_ct from spamming offload add wq for
every packet coming in reply direction in this state verify whether
connection has already been updated to ESTABLISHED in the drivers. If that
it the case, then skip flow_table and let conntrack handle such packets
which will also allow conntrack to potentially promote the connection to
ASSURED.

- When connection state changes to ASSURED set the flow_table flow
NF_FLOW_HW_BIDIRECTIONAL flag which will cause refresh mechanism to offload
the reply direction.

All other protocols have their offload algorithm preserved and are always
offloaded as bidirectional.

Note that this change tries to minimize the load on flow_table add
workqueue. First, it tracks the last ctinfo that was offloaded by using new
flow 'NF_FLOW_HW_ESTABLISHED' flag and doesn't schedule the refresh for
reply direction packets when the offloads have already been updated with
current ctinfo. Second, when 'add' task executes on workqueue it always
update the offload with current flow state (by checking 'bidirectional'
flow flag and obtaining actual ctinfo/cookie through meta action instead of
caching any of these from the moment of scheduling the 'add' work)
preventing the need from scheduling more updates if state changed
concurrently while the 'add' work was pending on workqueue.

[ Upstream commit 1a441a9b8be8849957a01413a144f84932c324cb ]

Modify flow table offload to cache the last ct info status that was passed
to the driver offload callbacks by extending enum nf_flow_flags with new
"NF_FLOW_HW_ESTABLISHED" flag. Set the flag if ctinfo was 'established'
during last act_ct meta actions fill call. This infrastructure change is
necessary to optimize promoting of UDP connections from 'new' to
'established' in following patches in this series.
