commit 086293542b991fb88a2e41ae7b4f82ac65a20e1a upstream.
Halve mss table size to make blind cookie guessing more difficult.
This is sad since the tables were already small, but there
is little alternative except perhaps adding more precise mss information
in the tcp timestamp. Timestamps are unfortunately not ubiquitous.
Guessing all possible cookie values still has 8-in 2**32 chance.

commit 8c27bd75f04fb9cb70c69c3cfe24f4e6d8e15906 upstream.
We currently accept cookies that were created less than 4 minutes ago
(ie, cookies with counter delta 0-3). Combined with the 8 mss table
values, this yields 32 possible values (out of 2**32) that will be valid.
Reducing the lifetime to < 2 minutes halves the guessing chance while
still providing a large enough period.
While at it, get rid of jiffies value -- they overflow too quickly on
32 bit platforms.
getnstimeofday is used to create a counter that increments every 64s.
perf shows getnstimeofday cost is negible compared to sha_transform;
normal tcp initial sequence number generation uses getnstimeofday, too.

[ Upstream commit 10ddceb22bab11dab10ba645c7df2e4a8e7a5db5 ]
when ip_tunnel process multicast packets, it may check if the packet is looped
back packet though 'rt_is_output_route(skb_rtable(skb))' in ip_tunnel_rcv(),
but before that , skb->_skb_refdst has been dropped in iptunnel_pull_header(),
so which leads to a panic.

[ Upstream commit f5ddcbbb40aa0ba7fbfe22355d287603dbeeaaac ]
This patch fixes two bugs in fastopen :
1) The tcp_sendmsg(..., @size) argument was ignored.
Code was relying on user not fooling the kernel with iovec mismatches
2) When MTU is about 64KB, tcp_send_syn_data() attempts order-5
allocations, which are likely to fail when memory gets fragmented.

commit fe6cc55f3a9a053482a76f5a6b2257cee51b4663 upstream.
Marcelo Ricardo Leitner reported problems when the forwarding link path
has a lower mtu than the incoming one if the inbound interface supports GRO.
Given:
Host <mtu1500> R1 <mtu1200> R2
Host sends tcp stream which is routed via R1 and R2. R1 performs GRO.
In this case, the kernel will fail to send ICMP fragmentation needed
messages (or pkt too big for ipv6), as GSO packets currently bypass dstmtu
checks in forward path. Instead, Linux tries to send out packets exceeding
the mtu.
When locking route MTU on Host (i.e., no ipv4 DF bit set), R1 does
not fragment the packets when forwarding, and again tries to send out
packets exceeding R1-R2 link mtu.
This alters the forwarding dstmtu checks to take the individual gso
segment lengths into account.
For ipv6, we send out pkt too big error for gso if the individual
segments are too big.
For ipv4, we either send icmp fragmentation needed, or, if the DF bit
is not set, perform software segmentation and let the output path
create fragments when the packet is leaving the machine.
It is not 100% correct as the error message will contain the headers of
the GRO skb instead of the original/segmented one, but it seems to
work fine in my (limited) tests.
Eric Dumazet suggested to simply shrink mss via ->gso_size to avoid
sofware segmentation.
However it turns out that skb_segment() assumes skb nr_frags is related
to mss size so we would BUG there. I don't want to mess with it considering
Herbert and Eric disagree on what the correct behavior should be.
Hannes Frederic Sowa notes that when we would shrink gso_size
skb_segment would then also need to deal with the case where
SKB_MAX_FRAGS would be exceeded.
This uses sofware segmentation in the forward path when we hit ipv4
non-DF packets and the outgoing link mtu is too small. Its not perfect,
but given the lack of bug reports wrt. GRO fwd being broken this is a
rare case anyway. Also its not like this could not be improved later
once the dust settles.

[ Upstream commit bf06200e732de613a1277984bf34d1a21c2de03d ]
Commit 46d3ceabd8d9 ("tcp: TCP Small Queues") introduced a possible
regression for applications using TCP_NODELAY.
If TCP session is throttled because of tsq, we should consult
tp->nonagle when TX completion is done and allow us to send additional
segment, especially if this segment is not a full MSS.
Otherwise this segment is sent after an RTO.
[edumazet] : Cooked the changelog, added another fix about testing
sk_wmem_alloc twice because TX completion can happen right before
setting TSQ_THROTTLED bit.
This problem is particularly visible with recent auto corking,
but might also be triggered with low tcp_limit_output_bytes
values or NIC drivers delaying TX completion by hundred of usec,
and very low rtt.
Thomas Glanzmann for example reported an iscsi regression, caused
by tcp auto corking making this bug quite visible.

[ Based upon upstream commit 70315d22d3c7383f9a508d0aab21e2eb35b2303a ]
Fix inet_diag_dump_icsk() to reflect the fact that both TIME_WAIT and
FIN_WAIT2 connections are represented by inet_timewait_sock (not just
TIME_WAIT). Thus:
(a) We need to iterate through the time_wait buckets if the user wants
either TIME_WAIT or FIN_WAIT2. (Before fixing this, "ss -nemoi state
fin-wait-2" would not return any sockets, even if there were some in
FIN_WAIT2.)
(b) We need to check tw_substate to see if the user wants to dump
sockets in the particular substate (TIME_WAIT or FIN_WAIT2) that a
given connection is in. (Before fixing this, "ss -nemoi state
time-wait" would actually return sockets in state FIN_WAIT2.)
An analogous fix is in v3.13: 70315d22d3c7383f9a508d0aab21e2eb35b2303a
("inet_diag: fix inet_diag_dump_icsk() to use correct state for
timewait sockets") but that patch is quite different because 3.13 code
is very different in this area due to the unification of TCP hash
tables in 05dbc7b ("tcp/dccp: remove twchain") in v3.13-rc1.
I tested that this applies cleanly between v3.3 and v3.12, and tested
that it works in both 3.3 and 3.12. It does not apply cleanly to 3.2
and earlier (though it makes semantic sense), and semantically is not
the right fix for 3.13 and beyond (as mentioned above).

[ Upstream commit c0c0c50ff7c3e331c90bab316d21f724fb9e1994 ]
When dealing with icmp messages, the skb->data points the
ip header that triggered the sending of the icmp message.
In gre_cisco_err(), the parse_gre_header() is called, and the
iptunnel_pull_header() is called to pull the skb at the end of
the parse_gre_header(), so the skb->data doesn't point the
inner ip header.
Unfortunately, the ipgre_err still needs those ip addresses in
inner ip header to look up tunnel by ip_tunnel_lookup().
So just use icmp_hdr() to get inner ip header instead of skb->data.

But there are many more, resulting in the machine going OOM after some
days.
From looking at the TPROXY code, and with help from Florian, I see
that the memory leak is introduced in tcp_v4_early_demux():
void tcp_v4_early_demux(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
/* ... */
iph = ip_hdr(skb);
th = tcp_hdr(skb);
if (th->doff < sizeof(struct tcphdr) / 4)
return;
sk = __inet_lookup_established(dev_net(skb->dev), &tcp_hashinfo,
iph->saddr, th->source,
iph->daddr, ntohs(th->dest),
skb->skb_iif);
if (sk) {
skb->sk = sk;
where the socket is assigned unconditionally to skb->sk, also bumping
the refcnt on it. This is problematic, because in our case the skb
has already a socket assigned in the TPROXY target. This then results
in the leak I see.
The very same issue seems to be with IPv6, but haven't tested.

[ Upstream commit 77f99ad16a07aa062c2d30fae57b1fee456f6ef6 ]
Because the tcp-metrics is an RCU-list, it may be that two
soft-interrupts are inside __tcp_get_metrics() for the same
destination-IP at the same time. If this destination-IP is not yet part of
the tcp-metrics, both soft-interrupts will end up in tcpm_new and create
a new entry for this IP.
So, we will have two tcp-metrics with the same destination-IP in the list.
This patch checks twice __tcp_get_metrics(). First without holding the
lock, then while holding the lock. The second one is there to confirm
that the entry has not been added by another soft-irq while waiting for
the spin-lock.

[ Upstream commit 95f4a45de1a0f172b35451fc52283290adb21f6e ]
Bob Falken reported that after 4G packets, multicast forwarding stopped
working. This was because of a rule reference counter overflow which
freed the rule as soon as the overflow happend.
This patch solves this by adding the FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF flag to
fib_rules_lookup calls. This is safe even from non-rcu locked sections
as in this case the flag only implies not taking a reference to the rule,
which we don't need at all.
Rules only hold references to the namespace, which are guaranteed to be
available during the call of the non-rcu protected function reg_vif_xmit
because of the interface reference which itself holds a reference to
the net namespace.

[ Upstream commit 7a7ffbabf99445704be01bff5d7e360da908cf8e ]
VM to VM GSO traffic is broken if it goes through VXLAN or GRE
tunnel and the physical NIC on the host supports hardware VXLAN/GRE
GSO offload (e.g. bnx2x and next-gen mlx4).
Two issues -
(VXLAN) VM traffic has SKB_GSO_DODGY and SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL with
SKB_GSO_TCP/UDP set depending on the inner protocol. GSO header
integrity check fails in udp4_ufo_fragment if inner protocol is
TCP. Also gso_segs is calculated incorrectly using skb->len that
includes tunnel header. Fix: robust check should only be applied
to the inner packet.
(VXLAN & GRE) Once GSO header integrity check passes, NULL segs
is returned and the original skb is sent to hardware. However the
tunnel header is already pulled. Fix: tunnel header needs to be
restored so that hardware can perform GSO properly on the original
packet.

[ Upstream commit b1aac815c0891fe4a55a6b0b715910142227700f ]
Jakub reported while working with nlmon netlink sniffer that parts of
the inet_diag_sockid are not initialized when r->idiag_family != AF_INET6.
That is, fields of r->id.idiag_src[1 ... 3], r->id.idiag_dst[1 ... 3].
In fact, it seems that we can leak 6 * sizeof(u32) byte of kernel [slab]
memory through this. At least, in udp_dump_one(), we allocate a skb in ...
rep = nlmsg_new(sizeof(struct inet_diag_msg) + ..., GFP_KERNEL);
... and then pass that to inet_sk_diag_fill() that puts the whole struct
inet_diag_msg into the skb, where we only fill out r->id.idiag_src[0],
r->id.idiag_dst[0] and leave the rest untouched:
r->id.idiag_src[0] = inet->inet_rcv_saddr;
r->id.idiag_dst[0] = inet->inet_daddr;
struct inet_diag_msg embeds struct inet_diag_sockid that is correctly /
fully filled out in IPv6 case, but for IPv4 not.
So just zero them out by using plain memset (for this little amount of
bytes it's probably not worth the extra check for idiag_family == AF_INET).
Similarly, fix also other places where we fill that out.

commit d3f7d56a7a4671d395e8af87071068a195257bf6 upstream.
Commit 35f9c09fe (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once)
added an internal flag MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, similar to
MSG_MORE.
algif_hash, algif_skcipher, and udp used MSG_MORE from tcp_sendpages()
and need to see the new flag as identical to MSG_MORE.
This fixes sendfile() on AF_ALG.

[ Upstream commit 84502b5ef9849a9694673b15c31bd3ac693010ae ]
On some codepaths the skb does not have a dst entry
when xfrm_decode_session() is called. So check for
a valid skb_dst() before dereferencing the device
interface index. We use 0 as the device index if
there is no valid skb_dst(), or at reverse decoding
we use skb_iif as device interface index.
Bug was introduced with git commit bafd4bd4dc
("xfrm: Decode sessions with output interface.").

In some cases we may receive IP packets that are longer than
their stated lengths. Such packets are never merged in GRO.
However, we may end up computing their checksums incorrectly
and end up allowing packets with a bogus checksum enter our

Since such packets are rare and not performance-critical, this
patch simply skips the checksum verification for them.

[ Upstream commit dcdfdf56b4a6c9437fc37dbc9cee94a788f9b0c4 ]
CPUs can ask for local route via ip_route_input_noref() concurrently.
if nh_rth_input is not cached yet, CPUs will proceed to allocate
equivalent DSTs on 'lo' and then will try to cache them in nh_rth_input
via rt_cache_route()
Most of the time they succeed, but on occasion the following two lines:
orig = *p;
prev = cmpxchg(p, orig, rt);
in rt_cache_route() do race and one of the cpus fails to complete cmpxchg.
But ip_route_input_slow() doesn't check the return code of rt_cache_route(),
so dst is leaking. dst_destroy() is never called and 'lo' device
refcnt doesn't go to zero, which can be seen in the logs as:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1
Adding mdelay() between above two lines makes it easily reproducible.
Fix it similar to nh_pcpu_rth_output case.

[ Upstream commit dbde497966804e63a38fdedc1e3815e77097efc2 ]
snd_nxt must be updated synchronously with sk_send_head. Otherwise
tp->packets_out may be updated incorrectly, what may bring a kernel panic.
Here is a kernel panic from my host.
[ 103.043194] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048
[ 103.044025] IP: [<ffffffff815aaaaf>] tcp_rearm_rto+0xcf/0x150
...
[ 146.301158] Call Trace:
[ 146.301158] [<ffffffff815ab7f0>] tcp_ack+0xcc0/0x12c0
Before this panic a tcp socket was restored. This socket had sent and
unsent data in the write queue. Sent data was restored in repair mode,
then the socket was switched from reapair mode and unsent data was
restored. After that the socket was switched back into repair mode.
In that moment we had a socket where write queue looks like this:
snd_una snd_nxt write_seq
|_________|________|
|
sk_send_head
After a second switching from repair mode the state of socket was
changed:
snd_una snd_nxt, write_seq
|_________ ________|
|
sk_send_head
This state is inconsistent, because snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not
synchronized.
Bellow you can find a call trace, how packets_out can be incremented
twice for one skb, if snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized.
In this case packets_out will be always positive, even when
sk_write_queue is empty.
tcp_write_wakeup
skb = tcp_send_head(sk);
tcp_fragment
if (!before(tp->snd_nxt, TCP_SKB_CB(buff)->end_seq))
tcp_adjust_pcount(sk, skb, diff);
tcp_event_new_data_sent
tp->packets_out += tcp_skb_pcount(skb);
I think update of snd_nxt isn't required, when a socket is switched from
repair mode. Because it's initialized in tcp_connect_init. Then when a
write queue is restored, snd_nxt is incremented in tcp_event_new_data_sent,
so it's always is in consistent state.
I have checked, that the bug is not reproduced with this patch and
all tests about restoring tcp connections work fine.

[ Upstream commit 98e09386c0ef4dfd48af7ba60ff908f0d525cdee ]
After commit c9eeec26e32e ("tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit"), several
users reported throughput regressions, notably on mvneta and wifi
adapters.
802.11 AMPDU requires a fair amount of queueing to be effective.
This patch partially reverts the change done in tcp_write_xmit()
so that the minimal amount is sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes.
It also remove the use of this sysctl while building skb stored
in write queue, as TSO autosizing does the right thing anyway.
Users with well behaving NICS and correct qdisc (like sch_fq),
can then lower the default sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes value from
128KB to 8KB.
This new usage of sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes permits each driver
authors to check how their driver performs when/if the value is set
to a minimum of 4KB.
Normally, line rate for a single TCP flow should be possible,
but some drivers rely on timers to perform TX completion and
too long TX completion delays prevent reaching full throughput.

[ Upstream commit 2f715c1dde6e1760f3101358dc26f8c9489be0bf ]
Patch ed08495c3 "tcp: use RTT from SACK for RTO" always re-arms RTO upon
obtaining a RTT sample from newly sacked data.
But technically RTO should only be re-armed when the data sent before
the last (re)transmission of write queue head are (s)acked. Otherwise
the RTO may continue to extend during loss recovery on data sent
in the future.
Note that RTTs from ACK or timestamps do not have this problem, as the RTT
source must be from data sent before.
The new RTO re-arm policy is
1) Always re-arm RTO if SND.UNA is advanced
2) Re-arm RTO if sack RTT is available, provided the sacked data was
sent before the last time write_queue_head was sent.

For passive TCP connections, upon receiving the ACK that completes the
3WHS, make sure we set our pacing rate after we get our first RTT
sample.
On passive TCP connections, when we receive the ACK completing the
3WHS we do not take an RTT sample in tcp_ack(), but rather in
tcp_synack_rtt_meas(). So upon receiving the ACK that completes the
3WHS, tcp_ack() leaves sk_pacing_rate at its initial value.
Originally the initial sk_pacing_rate value was 0, so passive-side
connections defaulted to sysctl_tcp_min_tso_segs (2 segs) in skbuffs
made in the first RTT. With a default initial cwnd of 10 packets, this
happened to be correct for RTTs 5ms or bigger, so it was hard to
see problems in WAN or emulated WAN testing.
Since 7eec4174ff ("pkt_sched: fq: fix non TCP flows pacing"), the
initial sk_pacing_rate is 0xffffffff. So after that change, passive
TCP connections were keeping this value (and using large numbers of
segments per skbuff) until receiving an ACK for data.

sk_can_gso() should only be used as a hint in tcp_sendmsg() to build GSO
packets in the first place. (As a performance hint)
Once we have GSO packets in write queue, we can not decide they are no
longer GSO only because flow now uses a route which doesn't handle
TSO/GSO.
Core networking stack handles the case very well for us, all we need
is keeping track of packet counts in MSS terms, regardless of
segmentation done later (in GSO or hardware)
Right now, if tcp_fragment() splits a GSO packet in two parts,
@left and @right, and route changed through a non GSO device,
both @left and @right have pcount set to 1, which is wrong,
and leads to incorrect packet_count tracking.
This problem was added in commit d5ac99a648 ("[TCP]: skb pcount with MTU

TCP stack should make sure it owns skbs before mangling them.
We had various crashes using bnx2x, and it turned out gso_size
was cleared right before bnx2x driver was populating TC descriptor
of the _previous_ packet send. TCP stack can sometime retransmit
packets that are still in Qdisc.
Of course we could make bnx2x driver more robust (using
ACCESS_ONCE(shinfo->gso_size) for example), but the bug is TCP stack.
We have identified two points where skb_unclone() was needed.
This patch adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to warn us if we missed another
fix of this kind.
Kudos to Neal for finding the root cause of this bug. Its visible

On receiving an ACK that covers the loss probe sequence, TLP
immediately sets the congestion state to Open, even though some packets
are not recovered and retransmisssion are on the way. The later ACks
may trigger a WARN_ON check in step D of tcp_fastretrans_alert(), e.g.,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=989251
The fix is to follow the similar procedure in recovery by calling
tcp_try_keep_open(). The sender switches to Open state if no packets
are retransmissted. Otherwise it goes to Disorder and let subsequent
ACKs move the state to Recovery or Open.

This patch fixes and improves the use of vti interfaces (while
lightly changing the way of configuring them).
Currently:
- it is necessary to identify and mark inbound IPsec
packets destined to each vti interface, via netfilter rules in
the mangle table at prerouting hook.
- the vti module cannot retrieve the right tunnel in input since
commit b9959fd3: vti tunnels all have an i_key, but the tunnel lookup
is done with flag TUNNEL_NO_KEY, so there no chance to retrieve them.
- the i_key is used by the outbound processing as a mark to lookup
for the right SP and SA bundle.
This patch uses the o_key to store the vti mark (instead of i_key) and
enables:
- to avoid the need for previously marking the inbound skbuffs via a
netfilter rule.
- to properly retrieve the right tunnel in input, only based on the IPsec
packet outer addresses.
- to properly perform an inbound policy check (using the tunnel o_key
as a mark).
- to properly perform an outbound SPD and SAD lookup (using the tunnel
o_key as a mark).
- to keep the current mark of the skbuff. The skbuff mark is neither
used nor changed by the vti interface. Only the vti interface o_key
