in6_pton() supports 'low-32-bit dot-decimal representation'
(this is useful with DNS64/NAT64 networks for example):

  # echo +aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd:eeee:ffff:1.2.3.4 &gt; /proc/self/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
  # cat /proc/self/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
  src=aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd:eeee:ffff:0102:0304 ttl: 0 last_seen: 9733848829 oldest_pkt: 1 9733848829

but the provided buffer is too short:

  # echo +aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd:eeee:ffff:255.255.255.255 &gt; /proc/self/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

When both --reap and --update flag are specified, there's a code
path at which the entry to be updated is reaped beforehand,
which then leads to kernel crash. Reap only entries which won't be
updated.

Fixes kernel bugzilla #207773.

<title>netfilter: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<id>6daf14140129d30207ed6a0a69851fa6a3636bda</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

Lastly, fix checkpatch.pl warning
WARNING: __aligned(size) is preferred over __attribute__((aligned(size)))
in net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

<title>netfilter: xt_recent: Use struct_size() in kvzalloc()</title>

<id>6ca64ef37da930ad0fd0f2c3dac1a4607e0af494</id>
<content type='text'>
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct foo {
    int stuff;
    void *entry[];
};

size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(void *);
instance = alloc(size, GFP_KERNEL)

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

size = struct_size(instance, entry, count);
instance = alloc(size, GFP_KERNEL)

Notice that, in this case, variable sz is not necessary, hence it is
removed.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct foo {
    int stuff;
    void *entry[];
};

size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(void *);
instance = alloc(size, GFP_KERNEL)

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

size = struct_size(instance, entry, count);
instance = alloc(size, GFP_KERNEL)

Notice that, in this case, variable sz is not necessary, hence it is
removed.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Netfilter assumes that if the socket is present in the skb, then
it can be used because that reference is cleaned up while the skb
is crossing netns.

We want to change that to preserve the socket reference in a future
patch, so this is a preparation updating netfilter to check if the
socket netns matches before use it.
