Commit 2bd99aef1b19 ("tcp: accept bare FIN packets under memory
pressure") allowed accepting FIN packets in tcp_data_queue() even when
the receive window was closed, to prevent ACK/FIN loops with broken
clients.

Such a FIN packet is in sequence, but because the FIN consumes a
sequence number, it extends beyond the window. Before commit
9ca48d616ed7 ("tcp: do not accept packets beyond window"),
tcp_sequence() only required the seq to be within the window. After
that change, the entire packet (including the FIN) must fit within the
window. As a result, such FIN packets are now dropped and the handling
path is no longer reached.

Be more lenient by not counting the sequence number consumed by the
FIN when calling tcp_sequence(), restoring the previous behavior for
cases where only the FIN extends beyond the window.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

syzbot reported null-ptr-deref of udp_sk(sk)-&gt;udp_prod_queue. [0]

Since the cited commit, udp_lib_init_sock() can fail, as can
udp_init_sock() and udpv6_init_sock().

Let's handle the error in udplite_sk_init() and udplitev6_sk_init().

syzbot reported null-ptr-deref of udp_sk(sk)-&gt;udp_prod_queue. [0]

Since the cited commit, udp_lib_init_sock() can fail, as can
udp_init_sock() and udpv6_init_sock().

Let's handle the error in udplite_sk_init() and udplitev6_sk_init().

<title>tcp: fix potential race in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()</title>

<content type='text'>
Code in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() after the call to tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock()
is done too late.

After tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock(), the child socket is already visible
from TCP ehash table and other cpus might use it.

Since newinet-&gt;pinet6 is still pointing to the listener ipv6_pinfo
bad things can happen as syzbot found.

Move the problematic code in tcp_v6_mapped_child_init()
and call this new helper from tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() before
the ehash insertion.

This allows the removal of one tcp_sync_mss(), since
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() will call it with the correct
context.
