In decode_choice(), the boundary check before get_len() uses the
variable `len`, which is still 0 from its initialization at the top of
the function:

    unsigned int type, ext, len = 0;
    ...
    if (ext || (son-&gt;attr &amp; OPEN)) {
        BYTE_ALIGN(bs);
        if (nf_h323_error_boundary(bs, len, 0))  /* len is 0 here */
            return H323_ERROR_BOUND;
        len = get_len(bs);                        /* OOB read */

When the bitstream is exactly consumed (bs-&gt;cur == bs-&gt;end), the check
nf_h323_error_boundary(bs, 0, 0) evaluates to (bs-&gt;cur + 0 &gt; bs-&gt;end),
which is false.  The subsequent get_len() call then dereferences
*bs-&gt;cur++, reading 1 byte past the end of the buffer.  If that byte
has bit 7 set, get_len() reads a second byte as well.

This can be triggered remotely by sending a crafted Q.931 SETUP message
with a User-User Information Element containing exactly 2 bytes of
PER-encoded data ({0x08, 0x00}) to port 1720 through a firewall with
the nf_conntrack_h323 helper active.  The decoder fully consumes the
PER buffer before reaching this code path, resulting in a 1-2 byte
heap-buffer-overflow read confirmed by AddressSanitizer.

Fix this by checking for 2 bytes (the maximum that get_len() may read)
instead of the uninitialized `len`.  This matches the pattern used at
every other get_len() call site in the same file, where the caller
checks for 2 bytes of available data before calling get_len().

<title>net: consume xmit errors of GSO frames</title>

udpgro_frglist.sh and udpgro_bench.sh are the flakiest tests
currently in NIPA. They fail in the same exact way, TCP GRO
test stalls occasionally and the test gets killed after 10min.

These tests use veth to simulate GRO. They attach a trivial
("return XDP_PASS;") XDP program to the veth to force TSO off
and NAPI on.

Digging into the failure mode we can see that the connection
is completely stuck after a burst of drops. The sender's snd_nxt
is at sequence number N [1], but the receiver claims to have
received (rcv_nxt) up to N + 3 * MSS [2]. Last piece of the puzzle
is that senders rtx queue is not empty (let's say the block in
the rtx queue is at sequence number N - 4 * MSS [3]).

In this state, sender sends a retransmission from the rtx queue
with a single segment, and sequence numbers N-4*MSS:N-3*MSS [3].
Receiver sees it and responds with an ACK all the way up to
N + 3 * MSS [2]. But sender will reject this ack as TCP_ACK_UNSENT_DATA
because it has no recollection of ever sending data that far out [1].
And we are stuck.

The root cause is the mess of the xmit return codes. veth returns
an error when it can't xmit a frame. We end up with a loss event
like this:

  -------------------------------------------------
  |   GSO super frame 1   |   GSO super frame 2   |
  |-----------------------------------------------|
  | seg | seg | seg | seg | seg | seg | seg | seg |
  |  1  |  2  |  3  |  4  |  5  |  6  |  7  |  8  |
  -------------------------------------------------
     x    ok    ok    &lt;ok&gt;|  ok    ok    ok   &lt;x&gt;
                          \\
			   snd_nxt

"x" means packet lost by veth, and "ok" means it went thru.
Since veth has TSO disabled in this test it sees individual segments.
Segment 1 is on the retransmit queue and will be resent.

So why did the sender not advance snd_nxt even tho it clearly did
send up to seg 8? tcp_write_xmit() interprets the return code
from the core to mean that data has not been sent at all. Since
TCP deals with GSO super frames, not individual segment the crux
of the problem is that loss of a single segment can be interpreted
as loss of all. TCP only sees the last return code for the last
segment of the GSO frame (in &lt;&gt; brackets in the diagram above).

Of course for the problem to occur we need a setup or a device
without a Qdisc. Otherwise Qdisc layer disconnects the protocol
layer from the device errors completely.

We have multiple ways to fix this.

 1) make veth not return an error when it lost a packet.
    While this is what I think we did in the past, the issue keeps
    reappearing and it's annoying to debug. The game of whack
    a mole is not great.

 2) fix the damn return codes
    We only talk about NETDEV_TX_OK and NETDEV_TX_BUSY in the
    documentation, so maybe we should make the return code from
    ndo_start_xmit() a boolean. I like that the most, but perhaps
    some ancient, not-really-networking protocol would suffer.

 3) make TCP ignore the errors
    It is not entirely clear to me what benefit TCP gets from
    interpreting the result of ip_queue_xmit()? Specifically once
    the connection is established and we're pushing data - packet
    loss is just packet loss?

 4) this fix
    Ignore the rc in the Qdisc-less+GSO case, since it's unreliable.
    We already always return OK in the TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS case.
    In the Qdisc-less case let's be a bit more conservative and only
    mask the GSO errors. This path is taken by non-IP-"networks"
    like CAN, MCTP etc, so we could regress some ancient thing.
    This is the simplest, but also maybe the hackiest fix?

Similar fix has been proposed by Eric in the past but never committed
because original reporter was working with an OOT driver and wasn't
providing feedback (see Link).

<title>vsock: lock down child_ns_mode as write-once</title>

Two administrator processes may race when setting child_ns_mode as one
process sets child_ns_mode to "local" and then creates a namespace, but
another process changes child_ns_mode to "global" between the write and
the namespace creation. The first process ends up with a namespace in
"global" mode instead of "local". While this can be detected after the
fact by reading ns_mode and retrying, it is fragile and error-prone.

Make child_ns_mode write-once so that a namespace manager can set it
once and be sure it won't change. Writing a different value after the
first write returns -EBUSY. This applies to all namespaces, including
init_net, where an init process can write "local" to lock all future
namespaces into local mode.

<title>tcp: re-enable acceptance of FIN packets when RWIN is 0</title>

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.

<title>net: Drop the lock in skb_may_tx_timestamp()</title>

skb_may_tx_timestamp() may acquire sock::sk_callback_lock. The lock must
not be taken in IRQ context, only softirq is okay. A few drivers receive
the timestamp via a dedicated interrupt and complete the TX timestamp
from that handler. This will lead to a deadlock if the lock is already
write-locked on the same CPU.

Taking the lock can be avoided. The socket (pointed by the skb) will
remain valid until the skb is released. The -&gt;sk_socket and -&gt;file
member will be set to NULL once the user closes the socket which may
happen before the timestamp arrives.
If we happen to observe the pointer while the socket is closing but
before the pointer is set to NULL then we may use it because both
pointer (and the file's cred member) are RCU freed.

Drop the lock. Use READ_ONCE() to obtain the individual pointer. Add a
matching WRITE_ONCE() where the pointer are cleared.

syzbot reported a recursive lock warning in rds_tcp_get_peer_sport() as
it calls inet6_getname() which acquires the socket lock that was already
held by __release_sock().

Reading from the socket struct directly is safe from possible paths. For
rds_tcp_accept_one(), the socket has just been accepted and is not yet
exposed to concurrent access. For rds_tcp_conn_slots_available(), direct
access avoids the recursive deadlock seen during backlog processing
where the socket lock is already held from the __release_sock().

However, rds_tcp_conn_slots_available() is also called from the normal
softirq path via tcp_data_ready() where the lock is not held. This is
also safe because inet_dport is a stable 16 bits field. A READ_ONCE()
annotation as the value might be accessed lockless in a concurrent
access context.

Note that it is also safe to call rds_tcp_conn_slots_available() from
rds_conn_shutdown() because the fan-out is disabled.

Reading from the socket struct directly is safe from possible paths. For
rds_tcp_accept_one(), the socket has just been accepted and is not yet
exposed to concurrent access. For rds_tcp_conn_slots_available(), direct
access avoids the recursive deadlock seen during backlog processing
where the socket lock is already held from the __release_sock().

However, rds_tcp_conn_slots_available() is also called from the normal
softirq path via tcp_data_ready() where the lock is not held. This is
also safe because inet_dport is a stable 16 bits field. A READ_ONCE()
annotation as the value might be accessed lockless in a concurrent
access context.

Note that it is also safe to call rds_tcp_conn_slots_available() from
rds_conn_shutdown() because the fan-out is disabled.
