Given a sufficiently large number of actions, while copying and
reserving memory for a new action of a new flow, if next_offset is
greater than MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE, the function reserve_sfa_size() does
not return -EMSGSIZE as expected, but it allocates MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE
bytes increasing actions_len by req_size. This can then lead to an OOB
write access, especially when further actions need to be copied.

Fix it by rearranging the flow action size check.

While parsing user-provided actions, openvswitch module may dynamically
allocate memory and store pointers in the internal copy of the actions.
So this memory has to be freed while destroying the actions.

Currently there are only two such actions: ct() and set().  However,
there are many actions that can hold nested lists of actions and
ovs_nla_free_flow_actions() just jumps over them leaking the memory.

For example, removal of the flow with the following actions will lead
to a leak of the memory allocated by nf_ct_tmpl_alloc():

  actions:clone(ct(commit),0)

Non-freed set() action may also leak the 'dst' structure for the
tunnel info including device references.

Under certain conditions with a high rate of flow rotation that may
cause significant memory leak problem (2MB per second in reporter's
case).  The problem is also hard to mitigate, because the user doesn't
have direct control over the datapath flows generated by OVS.

Fix that by iterating over all the nested actions and freeing
everything that needs to be freed recursively.

New build time assertion should protect us from this problem if new
actions will be added in the future.

Unfortunately, openvswitch module doesn't use NLA_F_NESTED, so all
attributes has to be explicitly checked.  sample() and clone() actions
are mixing extra attributes into the user-provided action list.  That
prevents some code generalization too.

'OVS_CLONE_ATTR_EXEC' is an internal attribute that is used for
performance optimization inside the kernel.  It's added by the kernel
while parsing user-provided actions and should not be sent during the
flow dump as it's not part of the uAPI.

The issue doesn't cause any significant problems to the ovs-vswitchd
process, because reported actions are not really used in the
application lifecycle and only supposed to be shown to a human via
ovs-dpctl flow dump.  However, the action list is still incorrect
and causes the following error if the user wants to look at the
datapath flows:

  # ovs-dpctl add-dp system@ovs-system
  # ovs-dpctl add-flow "&lt;flow match&gt;" "clone(ct(commit),0)"
  # ovs-dpctl dump-flows
  &lt;flow match&gt;, packets:0, bytes:0, used:never,
    actions:clone(bad length 4, expected -1 for: action0(01 00 00 00),
                  ct(commit),0)

With the fix:

  # ovs-dpctl dump-flows
  &lt;flow match&gt;, packets:0, bytes:0, used:never,
    actions:clone(ct(commit),0)

Additionally fixed an incorrect attribute name in the comment.

Few years ago OVS user space made a strange choice in the commit [1]
to define types only valid for the user space inside the copy of a
kernel uAPI header.  '#ifndef __KERNEL__' and another attribute was
added later.

This leads to the inevitable clash between user space and kernel types
when the kernel uAPI is extended.  The issue was unveiled with the
addition of a new type for IPv6 extension header in kernel uAPI.

When kernel provides the OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS attribute to the
older user space application, application tries to parse it as
OVS_KEY_ATTR_PACKET_TYPE and discards the whole netlink message as
malformed.  Since OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS is supplied along with
every IPv6 packet that goes to the user space, IPv6 support is fully
broken.

Fixing that by bringing these user space attributes to the kernel
uAPI to avoid the clash.  Strictly speaking this is not the problem
of the kernel uAPI, but changing it is the only way to avoid breakage
of the older user space applications at this point.

These 2 types are explicitly rejected now since they should not be
passed to the kernel.  Additionally, OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL_INFO moved
out from the '#ifdef __KERNEL__' as there is no good reason to hide
it from the userspace.  And it's also explicitly rejected now, because
it's for in-kernel use only.

Comments with warnings were added to avoid the problem coming back.

(1 &lt;&lt; type) converted to (1ULL &lt;&lt; type) to avoid integer overflow on
OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS, since it equals 32 now.

As requested by upstream OVS, added some error messages in the
validate_and_copy_dec_ttl function.

Includes a small cleanup, which removes an unnecessary parameter
from the dec_ttl_exception_handler() function.

Fix to return a negative error code from the error handling
case instead of 0, as done elsewhere in this function.

Changing 'return start' to 'return action_start' can fix this bug.

Currently, the openvswitch module is not accepting the correctly formated
netlink message for the TTL decrement action. For both setting and getting
the dec_ttl action, the actions should be nested in the
OVS_DEC_TTL_ATTR_ACTION attribute as mentioned in the openvswitch.h uapi.

When the original patch was sent, it was tested with a private OVS userspace
implementation. This implementation was unfortunately not upstreamed and
reviewed, hence an erroneous version of this patch was sent out.

Leaving the patch as-is would cause problems as the kernel module could
interpret additional attributes as actions and vice-versa, due to the
actions not being encapsulated/nested within the actual attribute, but
being concatinated after it.
