[ Upstream commit 02a3231b6d82efe750da6554ebf280e4a6f78756 ]

__nf_ct_expect_find() and nf_ct_expect_find_get() are called under
rcu_read_lock() but they dereference the master conntrack via
exp-&gt;master.

Since the expectation does not hold a reference on the master conntrack,
this could be dying conntrack or different recycled conntrack than the
real master due to SLAB_TYPESAFE_RCU.

Store the netns, the master_tuple and the zone in struct
nf_conntrack_expect as a safety measure.

This patch is required by the follow up fix not to dump expectations
that do not belong to this netns.

[ Upstream commit 9c42bc9db90a154bc61ae337a070465f3393485a ]

The expectation helper field is mostly unused. As a result, the
netfilter codebase relies on accessing the helper through exp-&gt;master.

Always set on the expectation helper field so it can be used to reach
the helper.

nf_ct_expect_init() is called from packet path where the skb owns
the ct object, therefore accessing exp-&gt;master for the newly created
expectation is safe. This saves a lot of updates in all callsites
to pass the ct object as parameter to nf_ct_expect_init().

This is a preparation patches for follow up fixes.

the value to the policy min/max ones.

After this change all policy macros that can be used with UINT types,

This will be used to validate nf_tables flag attributes which
are in bigendian byte order.

<title>udp: Fix wildcard bind conflict check when using hash2</title>

[ Upstream commit e537dd15d0d4ad989d56a1021290f0c674dd8b28 ]

When binding a udp_sock to a local address and port, UDP uses
two hashes (udptable-&gt;hash and udptable-&gt;hash2) for collision
detection. The current code switches to "hash2" when
hslot-&gt;count &gt; 10.

"hash2" is keyed by local address and local port.
"hash" is keyed by local port only.

The issue can be shown in the following bind sequence (pseudo code):

bind(fd1,  "[fd00::1]:8888")
bind(fd2,  "[fd00::2]:8888")
bind(fd3,  "[fd00::3]:8888")
bind(fd4,  "[fd00::4]:8888")
bind(fd5,  "[fd00::5]:8888")
bind(fd6,  "[fd00::6]:8888")
bind(fd7,  "[fd00::7]:8888")
bind(fd8,  "[fd00::8]:8888")
bind(fd9,  "[fd00::9]:8888")
bind(fd10, "[fd00::10]:8888")

/* Correctly return -EADDRINUSE because "hash" is used
 * instead of "hash2". udp_lib_lport_inuse() detects the
 * conflict.
 */
bind(fail_fd, "[::]:8888")

/* After one more socket is bound to "[fd00::11]:8888",
 * hslot-&gt;count exceeds 10 and "hash2" is used instead.
 */
bind(fd11, "[fd00::11]:8888")
bind(fail_fd, "[::]:8888")      /* succeeds unexpectedly */

The same issue applies to the IPv4 wildcard address "0.0.0.0"
and the IPv4-mapped wildcard address "::ffff:0.0.0.0". For
example, if there are existing sockets bound to
"192.168.1.[1-11]:8888", then binding "0.0.0.0:8888" or
"[::ffff:0.0.0.0]:8888" can also miss the conflict when
hslot-&gt;count &gt; 10.

TCP inet_csk_get_port() already has the correct check in
inet_use_bhash2_on_bind(). Rename it to
inet_use_hash2_on_bind() and move it to inet_hashtables.h
so udp.c can reuse it in this fix.

commit 9df95785d3d8302f7c066050117b04cd3c2048c2 upstream.

Yiming Qian reports Use-after-free in the pipapo set type:
  Under a large number of expired elements, commit-time GC can run for a very
  long time in a non-preemptible context, triggering soft lockup warnings and
  RCU stall reports (local denial of service).

We must split GC in an unlink and a reclaim phase.

We cannot queue elements for freeing until pointers have been swapped.
Expired elements are still exposed to both the packet path and userspace
dumpers via the live copy of the data structure.

call_rcu() does not protect us: dump operations or element lookups starting
after call_rcu has fired can still observe the free'd element, unless the
commit phase has made enough progress to swap the clone and live pointers
before any new reader has picked up the old version.

This a similar approach as done recently for the rbtree backend in commit
35f83a75529a ("netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: don't gc elements on insert").

Fixes: 3c4287f62044 ("nf_tables: Add set type for arbitrary concatenation of ranges")

commit 9df95785d3d8302f7c066050117b04cd3c2048c2 upstream.

Yiming Qian reports Use-after-free in the pipapo set type:
  Under a large number of expired elements, commit-time GC can run for a very
  long time in a non-preemptible context, triggering soft lockup warnings and
  RCU stall reports (local denial of service).

We must split GC in an unlink and a reclaim phase.

We cannot queue elements for freeing until pointers have been swapped.
Expired elements are still exposed to both the packet path and userspace
dumpers via the live copy of the data structure.

call_rcu() does not protect us: dump operations or element lookups starting
after call_rcu has fired can still observe the free'd element, unless the
commit phase has made enough progress to swap the clone and live pointers
before any new reader has picked up the old version.

This a similar approach as done recently for the rbtree backend in commit
35f83a75529a ("netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: don't gc elements on insert").

commit 256001672153af5786c6ca148114693d7d76d836 upstream.

The set backend using this already has to work around this via ugly
cast, don't spread this pattern.

[ Upstream commit 1d6123102e9fbedc8d25bf4731da6d513173e49e ]

syzbot reported use-after-free in vhci_flush() without repro. [0]

&gt;From the splat, a thread close()d a vhci file descriptor while
its device was being used by iotcl() on another thread.

Once the last fd refcnt is released, vhci_release() calls
hci_unregister_dev(), hci_free_dev(), and kfree() for struct
vhci_data, which is set to hci_dev-&gt;dev-&gt;driver_data.

The problem is that there is no synchronisation after unlinking
hdev from hci_dev_list in hci_unregister_dev().  There might be
another thread still accessing the hdev which was fetched before
the unlink operation.

We can use SRCU for such synchronisation.

Let's run hci_dev_reset() under SRCU and wait for its completion
in hci_unregister_dev().

Another option would be to restore hci_dev-&gt;destruct(), which was
removed in commit 587ae086f6e4 ("Bluetooth: Remove unused
hci-destruct cb").  However, this would not be a good solution, as
we should not run hci_unregister_dev() while there are in-flight
ioctl() requests, which could lead to another data-race KCSAN splat.

Note that other drivers seem to have the same problem, for exmaple,
virtbt_remove().
