In commit c637c1035534867b85b78b453c38c495b58e2c5a
("tipc: resolve race problem at unicast message reception") we
introduced a new mechanism for delivering buffers upwards from link
to socket layer.
That code contains a bug in how we handle the new link input queue
during failover. When a link is reset, some of its users may be blocked
because of congestion, and in order to resolve this, we add any pending
wakeup pseudo messages to the link's input queue, and deliver them to
the socket. This misses the case where the other, remaining link also
may have congested users. Currently, the owner node's reference to the
remaining link's input queue is unconditionally overwritten by the
reset link's input queue. This has the effect that wakeup events from
the remaining link may be unduely delayed (but not lost) for a
potentially long period.
We fix this by adding the pending events from the reset link to the
input queue that is currently referenced by the node, whichever one
it is.
This commit should be applied to both net and net-next.

When an interface is deleted from a net namespace the ifindex in the
corresponding entries in PF_PACKET sockets' mclists becomes stale.
This can create inconsistencies if later an interface with the same ifindex
is moved from a different namespace (not that unlikely since ifindexes are
per-namespace).
In particular we saw problems with dev->promiscuity, resulting
in "promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity
feature of device might be broken" warnings and EOVERFLOW failures of
setsockopt(PACKET_ADD_MEMBERSHIP).
This patch deletes the mclist entries for interfaces that are deleted.
Since this now causes setsockopt(PACKET_DROP_MEMBERSHIP) to fail with
EADDRNOTAVAIL if called after the interface is deleted, also make
packet_mc_drop not fail.

When accessing CAN network interfaces with AF_PACKET sockets e.g. by dhclient
this can lead to a skb_under_panic due to missing skb initialisations.
Add the missing initialisations at the CAN skbuff creation times on driver
level (rx path) and in the network layer (tx path).

When reading from the error queue, msg_name and msg_control are only
populated for some errors. A new exception for empty timestamp skbs
added a false positive on icmp errors without payload.
`traceroute -M udpconn` only displayed gateways that return payload
with the icmp error: the embedded network headers are pulled before
sock_queue_err_skb, leaving an skb with skb->len == 0 otherwise.
Fix this regression by refining when msg_name and msg_control
branches are taken. The solutions for the two fields are independent.
msg_name only makes sense for errors that configure serr->port and
serr->addr_offset. Test the first instead of skb->len. This also fixes
another issue. saddr could hold the wrong data, as serr->addr_offset
is not initialized in some code paths, pointing to the start of the
network header. It is only valid when serr->port is set (non-zero).
msg_control support differs between IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 only honors
requests for ICMP and timestamps with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_CMSG. The
skb->len test can simply be removed, because skb->dev is also tested
and never true for empty skbs. IPv6 honors requests for all errors
aside from local errors and timestamps on empty skbs.
In both cases, make the policy more explicit by moving this logic to
a new function that decides whether to process msg_control and that
optionally prepares the necessary fields in skb->cb[]. After this
change, the IPv4 and IPv6 paths are more similar.
The last case is rxrpc. Here, simply refine to only match timestamps.

With some mss values, it is possible tcp_xmit_size_goal() puts
one segment more in TSO packet than tcp_tso_autosize().
We send then one TSO packet followed by one single MSS.
It is not a serious bug, but we can do slightly better, especially
for drivers using netif_set_gso_max_size() to lower gso_max_size.
Using same formula avoids these corner cases and makes
tcp_xmit_size_goal() a bit faster.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for your net tree,
they are:
1) Don't truncate ethernet protocol type to u8 in nft_compat, from
Arturo Borrero.
2) Fix several problems in the addition/deletion of elements in nf_tables.
3) Fix module refcount leak in ip_vs_sync, from Julian Anastasov.
4) Fix a race condition in the abort path in the nf_tables transaction
infrastructure. Basically aborted rules can show up as active rules
until changes are unrolled, oneliner from Patrick McHardy.
5) Check for overflows in the data area of the rule, also from Patrick.
6) Fix off-by-one in the per-rule user data size field. This introduces
a new nft_userdata structure that is placed at the beginning of the
user data area that contains the length to save some bits from the
rule and we only need one bit to indicate its presence, from Patrick.
7) Fix rule replacement error path, the replaced rule is deleted on
error instead of leaving it in place. This has been fixed by relying
on the abort path to undo the incomplete replacement.

1. For an IPv4 ping socket, ping_check_bind_addr does not check
the family of the socket address that's passed in. Instead,
make it behave like inet_bind, which enforces either that the
address family is AF_INET, or that the family is AF_UNSPEC and
the address is 0.0.0.0.
2. For an IPv6 ping socket, ping_check_bind_addr returns EINVAL
if the socket family is not AF_INET6. Return EAFNOSUPPORT
instead, for consistency with inet6_bind.
3. Make ping_v4_sendmsg and ping_v6_sendmsg return EAFNOSUPPORT
instead of EINVAL if an incorrect socket address structure is
passed in.
4. Make IPv6 ping sockets be IPv6-only. The code does not support
IPv4, and it cannot easily be made to support IPv4 because
the protocol numbers for ICMP and ICMPv6 are different. This
makes connect(::ffff:192.0.2.1) fail with EAFNOSUPPORT instead
of making the socket unusable.
Among other things, this fixes an oops that can be triggered by:
int s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_ICMP);
struct sockaddr_in6 sin6 = {
.sin6_family = AF_INET6,
.sin6_addr = in6addr_any,
};
bind(s, (struct sockaddr *) &sin6, sizeof(sin6));

In general, if a transaction object is added to the list successfully,
we can rely on the abort path to undo what we've done. This allows us to
simplify the error handling of the rule replacement path in
nf_tables_newrule().
This implicitly fixes an unnecessary removal of the old rule, which
needs to be left in place if we fail to replace.

The NFT_USERDATA_MAXLEN is defined to 256, however we only have a u8
to store its size. Introduce a struct nft_userdata which contains a
length field and indicate its presence using a single bit in the rule.
The length field of struct nft_userdata is also a u8, however we don't
store zero sized data, so the actual length is udata->len + 1.

A race condition exists in the rule transaction code for rules that
get added and removed within the same transaction.
The new rule starts out as inactive in the current and active in the
next generation and is inserted into the ruleset. When it is deleted,
it is additionally set to inactive in the next generation as well.
On commit the next generation is begun, then the actions are finalized.
For the new rule this would mean clearing out the inactive bit for
the previously current, now next generation.
However nft_rule_clear() clears out the bits for *both* generations,
activating the rule in the current generation, where it should be
deactivated due to being deleted. The rule will thus be active until
the deletion is finalized, removing the rule from the ruleset.
Similarly, when aborting a transaction for the same case, the undo
of insertion will remove it from the RCU protected rule list, the
deletion will clear out all bits. However until the next RCU
synchronization after all operations have been undone, the rule is
active on CPUs which can still see the rule on the list.
Generally, there may never be any modifications of the current
generations' inactive bit since this defeats the entire purpose of
atomicity. Change nft_rule_clear() to only touch the next generations
bit to fix this.

If an over-MTU UDP datagram is sent through a SOCK_RAW socket to a
UFO-capable device, ip_ufo_append_data() sets skb->ip_summed to
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL unconditionally as all GSO code assumes transport layer
checksum is to be computed on segmentation. However, in this case,
skb->csum_start and skb->csum_offset are never set as raw socket
transmit path bypasses udp_send_skb() where they are usually set. As a
result, driver may access invalid memory when trying to calculate the
checksum and store the result (as observed in virtio_net driver).
Moreover, the very idea of modifying the userspace provided UDP header
is IMHO against raw socket semantics (I wasn't able to find a document
clearly stating this or the opposite, though). And while allowing
CHECKSUM_NONE in the UFO case would be more efficient, it would be a bit
too intrusive change just to handle a corner case like this. Therefore
disallowing UFO for packets from SOCK_DGRAM seems to be the best option.

interface.
To repeat:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018
IP: [<ffffffff8187f495>] hsr_del_port+0x15/0xa0
etc...
Bug description:
As part of the hsr master device destruction, hsr_del_port() is called for each of
the hsr ports. At each such call, the master device is updated regarding features
and mtu. When the master device is freed before the slave interfaces, master will
be NULL in hsr_del_port(), which led to a NULL pointer dereference.
Additionally, dev_put() was called on the master device itself in hsr_del_port(),
causing a refcnt error.
A third bug in the same code path was that the rtnl lock was not taken before
hsr_del_port() was called as part of hsr_dev_destroy().
The reporter (Nicolas Dichtel) also said: "hsr_netdev_notify() supposes that the
port will always be available when the notification is for an hsr interface. It's
wrong. For example, netdev_wait_allrefs() may resend NETDEV_UNREGISTER.". As a
precaution against this, a check for port == NULL was added in hsr_dev_notify().

Currently, all real users of rhashtable default their grow and shrink
decision functions to rht_grow_above_75() and rht_shrink_below_30(),
so that there's currently no need to have this explicitly selectable.
It can/should be generic and private inside rhashtable until a real

additional indirection layer and can improve insertion/deletion time
as well.

The current minstrel_ht rate control behavior is somewhat optimistic in
trying to find optimum TX rate. While this is usually fine for normal
Data frames, there are cases where a more conservative set of retry
parameters would be beneficial to make the connection more robust.
EAPOL frames are critical to the authentication and especially the
EAPOL-Key message 4/4 (the last message in the 4-way handshake) is
important to get through to the AP. If that message is lost, the only
recovery mechanism in many cases is to reassociate with the AP and start
from scratch. This can often be avoided by trying to send the frame with
more conservative rate and/or with more link layer retries.
In most cases, minstrel_ht is currently using the initial EAPOL-Key
frames for probing higher rates and this results in only five link layer
transmission attempts (one at high(ish) MCS and four at MCS0). While
this works with most APs, it looks like there are some deployed APs that
may have issues with the EAPOL frames using HT MCS immediately after
association. Similarly, there may be issues in cases where the signal
strength or radio environment is not good enough to be able to get
frames through even at couple of MCS 0 tries.
The best approach for this would likely to be to reduce the TX rate for
the last rate (3rd rate parameter in the set) to a low basic rate (say,
6 Mbps on 5 GHz and 2 or 5.5 Mbps on 2.4 GHz), but doing that cleanly
requires some more effort. For now, we can start with a simple one-liner
that forces the minimum rate to be used for EAPOL frames similarly how
the TX rate is selected for the IEEE 802.11 Management frames. This does
result in a small extra latency added to the cases where the AP would be
able to receive the higher rate, but taken into account how small number
of EAPOL frames are used, this is likely to be insignificant. A future
optimization in the minstrel_ht design can also allow this patch to be
reverted to get back to the more optimized initial TX rate.
It should also be noted that many drivers that do not use minstrel as
the rate control algorithm are already doing similar workarounds by
forcing the lowest TX rate to be used for EAPOL frames.

Before da413eec729d ("packet: Fixed TPACKET V3 to signal poll when block is
closed rather than every packet") poll listening for an af_packet socket was
not signaled if there was no packets to process. After the patch poll is
signaled evety time when block retire timer expires. That happens because
af_packet closes the current block on timeout even if the block is empty.
Passing empty blocks to the user not only wastes CPU but also wastes ring
buffer space increasing probability of packets dropping on small timeouts.

Commit 06d961a8e210 ("mac80211/minstrel: use the new rate control API")
inverted the condition 'if (msr->sample_limit != 0)' to
'if (!msr->sample_limit != 0)'. But it is confusing both to people and
compilers (gcc5):
net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel.c: In function 'minstrel_get_rate':
net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel.c:376:26: warning: logical not is only applied to the left hand side of comparison
if (!msr->sample_limit != 0)
^
Let there be only 'if (!msr->sample_limit)'.

We currently add nested members of the NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES
as NLA_U32 attributes of type NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ in
cfg80211_net_detect_results. However, since there can be an arbitrary number of
frequency results, we should use the loop index of the loop used to add the
frequency results to NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES as the type (i.e. nla_type)
for each result attribute, rather than a fixed type.
This change is in line with how nested members are added to
NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES in the functions nl80211_send_wowlan_nd and
nl80211_add_scan_req.

Currently we don't check if the new MTU is valid or not and this allows
one to configure a smaller than minimum allowed by RFCs or even bigger
than interface own MTU, which is a problem as it may lead to packet
drops.
If you have a daemon like NetworkManager running, this may be exploited
by remote attackers by forging RA packets with an invalid MTU, possibly
leading to a DoS. (NetworkManager currently only validates for values
too small, but not for too big ones.)
The fix is just to make sure the new value is valid. That is, between
IPV6_MIN_MTU and interface's MTU.
Note that similar check is already performed at
ndisc_router_discovery(), for when kernel itself parses the RA.

With commit a7526eb5d06b (net: Unbreak compat_sys_{send,recv}msg), the
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag is blocked at the compat syscall entry points,
changing the kernel compat behaviour from the one before the commit it
was trying to fix (1be374a0518a, net: Block MSG_CMSG_COMPAT in
send(m)msg and recv(m)msg).
On 32-bit kernels (!CONFIG_COMPAT), MSG_CMSG_COMPAT is 0 and the native
32-bit sys_sendmsg() allows flag 0x80000000 to be set (it is ignored by
the kernel). However, on a 64-bit kernel, the compat ABI is different
with commit a7526eb5d06b.
This patch changes the compat_sys_{send,recv}msg behaviour to the one
prior to commit 1be374a0518a.
The problem was found running 32-bit LTP (sendmsg01) binary on an arm64
kernel. Arguably, LTP should not pass 0xffffffff as flags to sendmsg()
but the general rule is not to break user ABI (even when the user
behaviour is not entirely sane).

tcp_should_expand_sndbuf() does not expand the send buffer if we have
filled the congestion window.
However, it should use tcp_packets_in_flight() instead of

Testing has established that the difference matters a lot if there are
many SACKed packets, causing a needless performance shortfall.

We have several problems in this path:
1) There is a use-after-free when removing individual elements from
the commit path.
2) We have to uninit() the data part of the element from the abort
path to avoid a chain refcount leak.
3) We have to check for set->flags to see if there's a mapping, instead
of the element flags.
4) We have to check for !(flags & NFT_SET_ELEM_INTERVAL_END) to skip
elements that are part of the interval that have no data part, so
they don't need to be uninit().

The cfpkt_iterate() function can return -EPROTO on error, but the
function is a u16 so the negative value gets truncated to a positive
unsigned short. This causes a static checker warning.
The only caller which might care is cffrml_receive(), when it's checking
the frame checksum. I modified cffrml_receive() so that it never says
-EPROTO is a valid checksum.
Also this isn't ever going to be inlined so I removed the "inline".
