<title>sctp: fix auth_hmacs array size in struct sctp_cookie</title>

<content type='text'>
The auth_hmacs array in struct sctp_cookie is supposed to store a complete
SCTP_AUTH_HMAC_ALGO parameter, which consists of a struct sctp_paramhdr
followed by N HMAC identifiers.

However, the array size was calculated using an extra 2 bytes instead of
sizeof(struct sctp_paramhdr), which is 4 bytes. When four HMAC identifiers
are configured, the HMAC-ALGO parameter stored in the endpoint is larger
than the auth_hmacs buffer in the cookie.

As a result, sctp_association_init() copies beyond the end of auth_hmacs
when initializing the association, corrupting the adjacent auth_chunks
field. This can lead to an invalid HMAC identifier being accepted and later
cause an out-of-bounds read in sctp_auth_get_hmac().

Fix the array size calculation by including the full SCTP parameter header
size.

<title>Bluetooth: mgmt: Translate HCI reason in Device Disconnected event</title>

MGMT_EV_DEVICE_DISCONNECTED carries a reason field which is defined to
be one of MGMT_DEV_DISCONN_* (0x00..0x05). hci_disconn_complete_evt()
converts the HCI error with hci_to_mgmt_reason(), but two other paths
pass the raw HCI error straight through:

  hci_cs_disconnect()   -&gt; cp-&gt;reason
  mgmt_connect_failed() -&gt; status

The latter is reached whenever the adapter is powered off or suspended:
hci_disconnect_all_sync() aborts every link with
HCI_ERROR_REMOTE_POWER_OFF, hci_disconnect_sync() deliberately does not
wait for HCI_EV_DISCONN_COMPLETE for that reason, so that
hci_abort_conn_sync() finishes the connection off through
hci_conn_failed() instead.

As a result userspace sees an out of range reason:

  @ MGMT Event: Device Disconnected (0x000c) plen 8
        BR/EDR Address: 8C:A9:6F:2C:51:46
        Reason: Reserved (0x15)

  bluetoothd: btd_bearer_disconnected() Unknown disconnection value: 21
  bluetoothd: device_disconnected() Unknown disconnection value: 21

Export hci_to_mgmt_reason() and use it in both places, so that a power
off is reported as MGMT_DEV_DISCONN_REMOTE rather than as the raw
HCI_ERROR_REMOTE_POWER_OFF (0x15).

pull request (net): ipsec 2026-07-10

1) xfrm: propagate -EINPROGRESS from validate_xmit_xfrm()
   Return -EINPROGRESS from xfrm_output_one when validate_xmit_xfrm
   requeues the packet asynchronously, so the caller doesn't treat it
   as a real error and free the skb.

2) xfrm: fix stale skb-&gt;prev after async crypto steals a GSO segment
   Re-derive skb-&gt;prev from the fragment list after async crypto splits
   a GSO skb, keeping the linked-list pointers validi.

3) xfrm: nat_keepalive: avoid double free on send error
   Hold a state ref while the nat_keepalive timer is active and drop the
   timer before freeing the state, preventing a re-entered free on send
   error.

4) xfrm: fix sk_dst_cache double-free in xfrm_user_policy()
   Null the skb dst cache before freeing the policy so a later skb
   destructor doesn't double-free it.

5) xfrm: cache the offload ifindex for netlink dumps
   Cache the device ifindex at state-add time and use it for netlink
   dumps instead of dereferencing dst-&gt;dev, which may have changed by
   the time the dump runs.

6) xfrm: reject optional IPTFS templates in outbound policies
   Reject outbound policies with an optional IPTFS template,
   IPTFS must always be used if configured.

7) xfrm: clear mode callbacks after failed mode setup
   Clear the mode-&gt;init_flags and init_state callbacks on the error path
   after xfrm_init_mode fails, so a partially-initialised mode isn't
   reused in xfrm_state_construct.

8) xfrm: iptfs: propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG in iptfs_skb_add_frags()
   Propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG from the original skb to fragments
   allocated by iptfs_skb_add_frags, keeping shared-fragment accounting
   correct after IPTFS reassembly.

9) xfrm6: clear dst.dev on error to avoid double netdev_put in xfrm6_fill_dst()
   Clear dst-&gt;dev on the error path of xfrm6_fill_dst() so the caller
   doesn't release the netdev reference twice via dst_release.

10) xfrm: policy: preallocate inexact bins before xfrm_hash_rebuild reinsert
    Preallocate all inexact hash bins before existing entries are
    reinserted during xfrm_hash_rebuild, so reinsertion always hits an
    existing bin.

Please pull or let me know if there are problems.

netfilter: updates for net

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for *net*.

Most of these are LLM fixes for old issues flagged by sashiko/LLMs.

Many of these trigger drive-by-findings in sashiko. In particular:

- many load/store tearing and missing memory barriers, races
  etc. in ipset, esp. with GC and resizing.
  Keeping the proposed patches spinning for yet-another-iteration
  keeps legit fixes back, so I prefer to add these now and follow
  up with other reports later.
- flowtable work queue still has possible races with teardown,
  but same rationale as with ipset: drive-by findings, not
  problems coming with the flowtable IPIP changeset in this PR.
- ever since unreadable frag skb support was added in 6.12, we can no
  longer do: BUG_ON(skb_copy_bits( ...): it will fire with such skbs.
  Mina Almasry is looking at similar patterns elsewhere in the stack.

1) Guard skb-&gt;mac_header adjustment after IPv6 defragmentation in
nf_conntrack_reasm.  From Xiang Mei.

2) NUL-terminate ebtables table names before calling find_table_lock() to
prevent stack-out-of-bounds reads.  Also from Xiang Mei.

3) Zero the ebtables chainstack array, else error unwind may free bogus
pointer when CPU mask is sparse.  All three issues date from 2.6 days.

4) Ensure ebtables module names are c-strings, same bug pattern as 2).
Bug added in 4.6.

5) Fix catchall element handling for inverted lookups in nft_lookup. Fold the
catchall lookup into ext before computing the match status.  Was like
this ever since catchall elements got introduced in 5.13.
From Tamaki Yanagawa.

6-9) ipset updates from Jozsef Kadlecsik:
- mark rcu protected areas correctly
- address gc and resize clash in the comment extension
- add/del backlog cleanup in the error path
- allocate right size for the generic hash structure

10-12): IPIP flowtable updates from Pablo Neira Ayuso:
 - Use the current direction's route when pushing IPIP headers
   Fix incorrect headroom and fragmentation offset calculations.
 - Avoid hardware offload for IPIP tunnels due to lack of driver support.
 - Support IPIP tunnels with direct xmit in netfilter flowtable.
   dst_cache and dst_cookie are moved outside the union to share route
   state across flows.  This is a followup to work done in 6.19 cycle.

13) Don't BUG() on skb_copy_bits error. Handle unreadable fragments by
either returning an error or restricting the copy operations to linear area,
This became an issue when unreable frag support was merged in 6.12.

14-16): IPVS updates from Yizhou Zhao:
 - Pass parsed transport offset to IPVS state handlers.
   update callback signatures.
 - use correct transport header offset on state lookp in TCP.
   As-is it was possible for ipv6 extension header data to be
   treated as L4 header.
 - same for SCTP.  This was also broken since 2.6 days.

17) Ensure inner IP headers in ICMP errors are in the skb headroom after
stripping outer headers. Add more checks for the length of inner headers.
This was broken since 3.7 days.
From Julian Anastasov.

====================
netfilter: updates for net

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for *net*.

Most of these are LLM fixes for old issues flagged by sashiko/LLMs.

Many of these trigger drive-by-findings in sashiko. In particular:

- many load/store tearing and missing memory barriers, races
  etc. in ipset, esp. with GC and resizing.
  Keeping the proposed patches spinning for yet-another-iteration
  keeps legit fixes back, so I prefer to add these now and follow
  up with other reports later.
- flowtable work queue still has possible races with teardown,
  but same rationale as with ipset: drive-by findings, not
  problems coming with the flowtable IPIP changeset in this PR.
- ever since unreadable frag skb support was added in 6.12, we can no
  longer do: BUG_ON(skb_copy_bits( ...): it will fire with such skbs.
  Mina Almasry is looking at similar patterns elsewhere in the stack.

1) Guard skb-&gt;mac_header adjustment after IPv6 defragmentation in
nf_conntrack_reasm.  From Xiang Mei.

2) NUL-terminate ebtables table names before calling find_table_lock() to
prevent stack-out-of-bounds reads.  Also from Xiang Mei.

3) Zero the ebtables chainstack array, else error unwind may free bogus
pointer when CPU mask is sparse.  All three issues date from 2.6 days.

4) Ensure ebtables module names are c-strings, same bug pattern as 2).
Bug added in 4.6.

5) Fix catchall element handling for inverted lookups in nft_lookup. Fold the
catchall lookup into ext before computing the match status.  Was like
this ever since catchall elements got introduced in 5.13.
From Tamaki Yanagawa.

6-9) ipset updates from Jozsef Kadlecsik:
- mark rcu protected areas correctly
- address gc and resize clash in the comment extension
- add/del backlog cleanup in the error path
- allocate right size for the generic hash structure

10-12): IPIP flowtable updates from Pablo Neira Ayuso:
 - Use the current direction's route when pushing IPIP headers
   Fix incorrect headroom and fragmentation offset calculations.
 - Avoid hardware offload for IPIP tunnels due to lack of driver support.
 - Support IPIP tunnels with direct xmit in netfilter flowtable.
   dst_cache and dst_cookie are moved outside the union to share route
   state across flows.  This is a followup to work done in 6.19 cycle.

13) Don't BUG() on skb_copy_bits error. Handle unreadable fragments by
either returning an error or restricting the copy operations to linear area,
This became an issue when unreable frag support was merged in 6.12.

14-16): IPVS updates from Yizhou Zhao:
 - Pass parsed transport offset to IPVS state handlers.
   update callback signatures.
 - use correct transport header offset on state lookp in TCP.
   As-is it was possible for ipv6 extension header data to be
   treated as L4 header.
 - same for SCTP.  This was also broken since 2.6 days.

17) Ensure inner IP headers in ICMP errors are in the skb headroom after
stripping outer headers. Add more checks for the length of inner headers.
This was broken since 3.7 days.
From Julian Anastasov.

<title>net: mana: Sync page pool RX frags for CPU</title>

MANA allocates RX buffers from page pool fragments when frag_count is
greater than 1. In that case the buffers remain DMA mapped by page pool
and the RX completion path does not call dma_unmap_single(). As a result,
the implicit sync-for-CPU normally performed by dma_unmap_single() is
missing before the packet data is passed to the networking stack.

This breaks RX on configurations which require explicit DMA syncing, for
example when booted with swiotlb=force.

Fix this by recording the page pool page and DMA sync offset when the RX
buffer is allocated, and syncing the received packet range for CPU access
before handing the RX buffer to the stack.

Fixes: 730ff06d3f5c ("net: mana: Use page pool fragments for RX buffers instead of full pages to improve memory efficiency.")

IPVS callers already parse the packet into struct ip_vs_iphdr before
updating connection state. For IPv6 this records the real
transport-header offset after extension headers in iph.len.

Pass this parsed transport offset through ip_vs_set_state() and the
protocol state_transition() callback so protocol handlers can use the
same packet context as scheduling and NAT handling. This patch only
changes the common callback plumbing and adapts the protocol callback
signatures; TCP and SCTP start using the value in follow-up patches.

<title>netfilter: flowtable: support IPIP tunnel with direct xmit</title>

<id>fa7395c02d95e51bad2952325d2d6503bfbad437</id>
<content type='text'>
The combination of IPIP tunnel with direct xmit, eg. bridge device,
breaks because no dst_entry is provided to check the skb headroom and to
set the iph-&gt;frag_off field. This leads to invalid dst usage and can
trigger a crash in the tunnel transmit path.

Fix this by moving dst_cache and dst_cookie out of the runtime union so
that they can be shared by neighbour, xfrm, and direct tunnel flows.
For FLOW_OFFLOAD_XMIT_DIRECT tuples carrying tunnel metadata, preserve
route state in these shared fields and release it through the common
dst release path.

Since dst_entry is now available to the three supported xmit modes and
dst_release() already deals with NULL dst, remove the xmit type check
in nft_flow_dst_release(). Moreover, skip the check if the dst entry
is NULL in nf_flow_dst_check() which is now the case for the direct
xmit case.

Based on patch from Rein Wei &lt;n05ec@lzu.edu.cn&gt;.

No driver supports for IPIP tunnels yet, give up early on setting up the
hardware offload for this scenario.

This patch adds a stub that can be enhanced to add more configuration
that are currently not supported. As of now, the offload work is
enqueued to the worker, then ignored if the hardware offload
configuration is not supported.

Check the NF_FLOW_HW flag to know if this entry was already tried once
to be offloaded so this is not retried on refresh when unsupported. Move
NF_FLOW_HW flag check to nf_flow_offload_add(). If this NF_FLOW_HW flag
is unset the _del and _stats variants are never called.

This can be updated later on to skip hardware offload work to be queued
in case hardware offload does not support it.

<title>ipv6: mcast: Fix potential UAF in MLD delayed work</title>

<id>9b26518b6896a16b809b1e42986f4ebac7bccc1e</id>
<content type='text'>
A race condition exists between device teardown and incoming MLD query
processing, leading to a Use-After-Free in the MLD delayed work.

During device destruction, the primary reference to inet6_dev is dropped,
which can drop its refcount to 0. The actual freeing of inet6_dev memory
is deferred via RCU.

Concurrently, the packet receive path runs under RCU read lock and obtains
the inet6_dev pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can
safely dereference inet6_dev even if its refcount has hit 0.

However, if CPU-0 calls igmp6_event_query() and schedules delayed work, it
attempts to acquire a reference using in6_dev_hold(). This increments the
refcount from 0 to 1, triggering a "refcount_t: addition on 0" warning.
Since the inet6_dev memory is still scheduled to be freed after the RCU
grace period, the device is freed while the work is still scheduled.
When the work runs, it accesses the freed memory, causing a kernel panic.

Fix this by using refcount_inc_not_zero() (via a new helper
in6_dev_hold_safe()) to prevent acquiring a reference if the device is
already being destroyed. If the refcount is 0, we do not schedule the work.
