[ Upstream commit f5ce0714623cffd00bf2a83e890d09c609b7f50a ]

When add_addr_timeout was set to 0, this caused the ADD_ADDR to be
retransmitted immediately, which looks like a buggy behaviour. Instead,
interpret 0 as "no retransmissions needed".

The documentation is updated to explicitly state that setting the timeout
to 0 disables retransmission.

[ Upstream commit f7d625adeb7bc6a9ec83d32d9615889969d64484 ]

The current implementation allocates page-sized rx buffers.
As traffic may consist of different types and sizes of packets,
in various cases, buffers are not fully used.

This change (Dynamic RX Buffers - DRB) uses part of the allocated rx
page needed for the incoming packet, and returns the rest of the
unused page to be used again as an rx buffer for future packets.
A threshold of 2K for unused space has been set in order to declare
whether the remainder of the page can be reused again as an rx buffer.

As a page may be reused, dma_sync_single_for_cpu() is added in order
to sync the memory to the CPU side after it was owned by the HW.
In addition, when the rx page can no longer be reused, it is being
unmapped using dma_page_unmap(), which implicitly syncs and then
unmaps the entire page. In case the kernel still handles the skbs
pointing to the previous buffers from that rx page, it may access
garbage pointers, caused by the implicit sync overwriting them.
The implicit dma sync is removed by replacing dma_page_unmap() with
dma_unmap_page_attrs() with DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC flag.

The functionality is disabled for XDP traffic to avoid handling
several descriptors per packet.

<title>net: change accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to affect all RA lifetimes</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 5027d54a9c30bc7ec808360378e2b4753f053f25 upstream.

accept_ra_min_rtr_lft only considered the lifetime of the default route
and discarded entire RAs accordingly.

This change renames accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to accept_ra_min_lft, and
applies the value to individual RA sections; in particular, router
lifetime, PIO preferred lifetime, and RIO lifetime. If any of those
lifetimes are lower than the configured value, the specific RA section
is ignored.

In order for the sysctl to be useful to Android, it should really apply
to all lifetimes in the RA, since that is what determines the minimum
frequency at which RAs must be processed by the kernel. Android uses
hardware offloads to drop RAs for a fraction of the minimum of all
lifetimes present in the RA (some networks have very frequent RAs (5s)
with high lifetimes (2h)). Despite this, we have encountered networks
that set the router lifetime to 30s which results in very frequent CPU
wakeups. Instead of disabling IPv6 (and dropping IPv6 ethertype in the
WiFi firmware) entirely on such networks, it seems better to ignore the
misconfigured routers while still processing RAs from other IPv6 routers
on the same network (i.e. to support IoT applications).

The previous implementation dropped the entire RA based on router
lifetime. This turned out to be hard to expand to the other lifetimes
present in the RA in a consistent manner; dropping the entire RA based
on RIO/PIO lifetimes would essentially require parsing the whole thing
twice.

commit 1671bcfd76fdc0b9e65153cf759153083755fe4c upstream.

This change adds a new sysctl accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to specify the
minimum acceptable router lifetime in an RA. If the received RA router
lifetime is less than the configured value (and not 0), the RA is
ignored.
This is useful for mobile devices, whose battery life can be impacted
by networks that configure RAs with a short lifetime. On such networks,
the device should never gain IPv6 provisioning and should attempt to
drop RAs via hardware offload, if available.

<title>xsk: Honor SO_BINDTODEVICE on bind</title>

[ Upstream commit f7306acec9aae9893d15e745c8791124d42ab10a ]

Initial creation of an AF_XDP socket requires CAP_NET_RAW capability. A
privileged process might create the socket and pass it to a non-privileged
process for later use. However, that process will be able to bind the socket
to any network interface. Even though it will not be able to receive any
traffic without modification of the BPF map, the situation is not ideal.

Sockets already have a mechanism that can be used to restrict what interface
they can be attached to. That is SO_BINDTODEVICE.

To change the SO_BINDTODEVICE binding the process will need CAP_NET_RAW.

Make xsk_bind() honor the SO_BINDTODEVICE in order to allow safer workflow
when non-privileged process is using AF_XDP.

The intended workflow is following:

  1. First process creates a bare socket with socket(AF_XDP, ...).
  2. First process loads the XSK program to the interface.
  3. First process adds the socket fd to a BPF map.
  4. First process ties socket fd to a particular interface using
     SO_BINDTODEVICE.
  5. First process sends socket fd to a second process.
  6. Second process allocates UMEM.
  7. Second process binds socket to the interface with bind(...).
  8. Second process sends/receives the traffic.

All the steps above are possible today if the first process is privileged
and the second one has sufficient RLIMIT_MEMLOCK and no capabilities.
However, the second process will be able to bind the socket to any interface
it wants on step 7 and send traffic from it. With the proposed change, the
second process will be able to bind the socket only to a specific interface
chosen by the first process at step 4.

commit 1202cdd665315c525b5237e96e0bedc76d7e754f upstream.

DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention
from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol
history museum not in Linux kernel.

It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support
for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on
Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well.

Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling.
This means that there is still an empty neighbour table
for AF_DECNET.

The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match
current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

[ Upstream commit 5944b5abd8646e8c6ac6af2b55f87dede1dae898 ]

Currently, we use hard code number to verify if we are in the
arp_interval timeslice. But some user may want to reduce/extend
the verify timeslice. With the similar team option 'missed_max'
the uers could change that number based on their own environment.

[ Upstream commit dc5110c2d959c1707e12df5f792f41d90614adaa ]

UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:555:23
shift exponent 255 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'
CPU: 1 PID: 7907 Comm: ssh Not tainted 6.3.0-rc4-00161-g62bad54b26db-dirty #206
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014
Call Trace:

'maxwin' is int, shifting int for 32 or more bits is undefined behaviour.
