[ Upstream commit bc044e8db7962e727a75b591b9851ff2ac5cf846 ]

The UDP early demux can leverate the rx dst cache even for
multicast unconnected sockets.

In such scenario the ipv4 source address is validated only on
the first packet in the given flow. After that, when we fetch
the dst entry  from the socket rx cache, we stop enforcing
the rp_filter and we even start accepting any kind of martian
addresses.

Disabling the dst cache for unconnected multicast socket will
cause large performace regression, nearly reducing by half the
max ingress tput.

Instead we factor out a route helper to completely validate an
skb source address for multicast packets and we call it from
the UDP early demux for mcast packets landing on unconnected
sockets, after successful fetching the related cached dst entry.

This still gives a measurable, but limited performance
regression:

		rp_filter = 0		rp_filter = 1
edmux disabled:	1182 Kpps		1127 Kpps
edmux before:	2238 Kpps		2238 Kpps
edmux after:	2037 Kpps		2019 Kpps

The above figures are on top of current net tree.
Applying the net-next commit 6e617de84e87 ("net: avoid a full
fib lookup when rp_filter is disabled.") the delta with
rp_filter == 0 will decrease even more.

<title>netlink: fix nla_put_{u8,u16,u32} for KASAN</title>

commit b4391db42308c9940944b5d7be5ca4b78fb88dd0 upstream.

When CONFIG_KASAN is enabled, the "--param asan-stack=1" causes rather large
stack frames in some functions. This goes unnoticed normally because
CONFIG_FRAME_WARN is disabled with CONFIG_KASAN by default as of commit
3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with
KASAN=y").

The kernelci.org build bot however has the warning enabled and that led
me to investigate it a little further, as every build produces these warnings:

net/wireless/nl80211.c:4389:1: warning: the frame size of 2240 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
net/wireless/nl80211.c:1895:1: warning: the frame size of 3776 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
net/wireless/nl80211.c:1410:1: warning: the frame size of 2208 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
net/bridge/br_netlink.c:1282:1: warning: the frame size of 2544 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

Most of this problem is now solved in gcc-8, which can consolidate
the stack slots for the inline function arguments. On older compilers
we can add a workaround by declaring a local variable in each function
to pass the inline function argument.

Currently no error is emitted, but this infrastructure will
used by the next patch to allow source address validation
for mcast sockets.
Since early demux can do a route lookup and an ipv4 route
lookup can return an error code this is consistent with the
current ipv4 route infrastructure.

[ Upstream commit fa5f7b51fc3080c2b195fa87c7eca7c05e56f673 ]

This code causes a static checker warning because Smatch doesn't trust
anything that comes from skb-&gt;data.  I've reviewed this code and I do
think skb-&gt;data can be controlled by the user here.

The sctp_event_subscribe struct has 13 __u8 fields and we want to see
if ours is non-zero.  sn_type can be any value in the 0-USHRT_MAX range.
We're subtracting SCTP_SN_TYPE_BASE which is 1 &lt;&lt; 15 so we could read
either before the start of the struct or after the end.

This is a very old bug and it's surprising that it would go undetected
for so long but my theory is that it just doesn't have a big impact so
it would be hard to notice.

commit 53168215909281a09d3afc6fb51a9d4f81f74d39 upstream.

With TXQs, the AP_VLAN interfaces are resolved to their owner AP
interface when enqueuing the frame, which makes sense since the
frame really goes out on that as far as the driver is concerned.

However, this introduces a problem: frames to be encrypted with
a VLAN-specific GTK will now be encrypted with the AP GTK, since
the information about which virtual interface to use to select
the key is taken from the TXQ.

Fix this by preserving info-&gt;control.vif and using that in the
dequeue function. This now requires doing the driver-mapping
in the dequeue as well.

Since there's no way to filter the frames that are sitting on a
TXQ, drop all frames, which may affect other interfaces, when an
AP_VLAN is removed.

[ Upstream commit fb452a1aa3fd4034d7999e309c5466ff2d7005aa ]

This reverts commit 6d7b857d541ecd1d9bd997c97242d4ef94b19de2.

There is a bug in fragmentation codes use of the percpu_counter API,
that can cause issues on systems with many CPUs.

The frag_mem_limit() just reads the global counter (fbc-&gt;count),
without considering other CPUs can have upto batch size (130K) that
haven't been subtracted yet.  Due to the 3MBytes lower thresh limit,
this become dangerous at &gt;=24 CPUs (3*1024*1024/130000=24).

The correct API usage would be to use __percpu_counter_compare() which
does the right thing, and takes into account the number of (online)
CPUs and batch size, to account for this and call __percpu_counter_sum()
when needed.

We choose to revert the use of the lib/percpu_counter API for frag
memory accounting for several reasons:

1) On systems with CPUs &gt; 24, the heavier fully locked
   __percpu_counter_sum() is always invoked, which will be more
   expensive than the atomic_t that is reverted to.

Given systems with more than 24 CPUs are becoming common this doesn't
seem like a good option.  To mitigate this, the batch size could be
decreased and thresh be increased.

2) The add_frag_mem_limit+sub_frag_mem_limit pairs happen on the RX
   CPU, before SKBs are pushed into sockets on remote CPUs.  Given
   NICs can only hash on L2 part of the IP-header, the NIC-RXq's will
   likely be limited.  Thus, a fair chance that atomic add+dec happen
   on the same CPU.

Revert note that commit 1d6119baf061 ("net: fix percpu memory leaks")
removed init_frag_mem_limit() and instead use inet_frags_init_net().
After this revert, inet_frags_uninit_net() becomes empty.

Commit c5cff8561d2d adds rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node. This
generates a new sparse warning on rt-&gt;rt6i_node related code:
  net/ipv6/route.c:1394:30: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)
  ./include/net/ip6_fib.h:187:14: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)

This commit adds "__rcu" tag for rt6i_node and makes sure corresponding
rcu API is used for it.
After this fix, sparse no longer generates the above warning.

<title>udp6: set rx_dst_cookie on rx_dst updates</title>

Currently, in the udp6 code, the dst cookie is not initialized/updated
concurrently with the RX dst used by early demux.

As a result, the dst_check() in the early_demux path always fails,
the rx dst cache is always invalidated, and we can't really
leverage significant gain from the demux lookup.

Fix it adding udp6 specific variant of sk_rx_dst_set() and use it
to set the dst cookie when the dst entry is really changed.

The issue is there since the introduction of early demux for ipv6.

<title>tcp: fix refcnt leak with ebpf congestion control</title>

There are a few bugs around refcnt handling in the new BPF congestion
control setsockopt:

 - The new ca is assigned to icsk-&gt;icsk_ca_ops even in the case where we
   cannot get a reference on it. This would lead to a use after free,
   since that ca is going away soon.

 - Changing the congestion control case doesn't release the refcnt on
   the previous ca.

 - In the reinit case, we first leak a reference on the old ca, then we
   call tcp_reinit_congestion_control on the ca that we have just
   assigned, leading to deinitializing the wrong ca (-&gt;release of the
   new ca on the old ca's data) and releasing the refcount on the ca
   that we actually want to use.

This is visible by building (for example) BIC as a module and setting
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bic, and using tcp_cong_kern.c from
samples/bpf.

This patch fixes the refcount issues, and moves reinit back into tcp
core to avoid passing a ca pointer back to BPF.
