Netfilter fixes for net

This patch contains two late Netfilter's flowtable fixes for net:

1) Flowtable GC pushes back packets to classic path in every GC run,
   ie. every second. This is because NF_FLOW_HW_ESTABLISHED is only
   used by sched/act_ct (never set) and IPS_SEEN_REPLY might be unset
   by the time the flow is offloaded (this status bit is only reliable
   in the sched/act_ct datapath).

2) sched/act_ct logic to push back packets to classic path to reevaluate
   if UDP flow is unidirectional only applies if IPS_HW_OFFLOAD_BIT is
   set on and no hardware offload request is pending to be handled.
   From Vlad Buslov.

These two patches fixes two problems that were introduced in the
previous 6.5 development cycle.

vsock/virtio: initialize the_virtio_vsock before using VQs

2023-10-25T22:49:47+00:00

Once VQs are filled with empty buffers and we kick the host, it can send
connection requests. If the_virtio_vsock is not initialized before,
replies are silently dropped and do not reach the host.

virtio_transport_send_pkt() can queue packets once the_virtio_vsock is
set, but they won't be processed until vsock->tx_run is set to true. We
queue vsock->send_pkt_work when initialization finishes to send those
packets queued earlier.

net/sched: act_ct: additional checks for outdated flows

2023-10-25T09:35:57+00:00

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When considering a flow for teardown as outdated verify that it is both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

netfilter: flowtable: GC pushes back packets to classic path

2023-10-25T09:35:46+00:00

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.

net/handshake: fix file ref count in handshake_nl_accept_doit()

2023-10-23T17:19:33+00:00

If req->hr_proto->hp_accept() fail, we call fput() twice:
Once in the error path, but also a second time because sock->file
is at that point already associated with the file descriptor. Once
the task exits, as it would probably do after receiving an error
reading from netlink, the fd is closed, calling fput() a second time.

To fix, we move installing the file after the error path for the
hp_accept() call. In the case of errors we simply put the unused fd.
In case of success we can use fd_install() to link the sock->file
to the reserved fd.

wifi: cfg80211: fix assoc response warning on failed links

2023-10-23T11:25:30+00:00

The warning here shouldn't be done before we even set the
bss field (or should've used the input data). Move the
assignment before the warning to fix it.

We noticed this now because of Wen's bugfix, where the bug
fixed there had previously hidden this other bug.
