DCCP is virtually never used, so no need to use space in struct net for it.

Put the pernet ipv4/v6 socket in the dccp ipv4/ipv6 modules instead.

<title>ipv6: weaken the v4mapped source check</title>

This reverts commit 6af1799aaf3f1bc8defedddfa00df3192445bbf3.

Commit 6af1799aaf3f ("ipv6: drop incoming packets having a v4mapped
source address") introduced an input check against v4mapped addresses.
Use of such addresses on the wire is indeed questionable and not
allowed on public Internet. As the commit pointed out

  https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-itojun-v6ops-v4mapped-harmful-02

lists potential issues.

Unfortunately there are applications which use v4mapped addresses,
and breaking them is a clear regression. For example v4mapped
addresses (or any semi-valid addresses, really) may be used
for uni-direction event streams or packet export.

Since the issue which sparked the addition of the check was with
TCP and request_socks in particular push the check down to TCPv6
and DCCP. This restores the ability to receive UDPv6 packets with
v4mapped address as the source.

Keep using the IPSTATS_MIB_INHDRERRORS statistic to minimize the
user-visible changes.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
 "While we have a small number of SELinux patches for v5.11, there are a
  few changes worth highlighting:

   - Change the LSM network hooks to pass flowi_common structs instead
     of the parent flowi struct as the LSMs do not currently need the
     full flowi struct and they do not have enough information to use it
     safely (missing information on the address family).

     This patch was discussed both with Herbert Xu (representing team
     netdev) and James Morris (representing team
     LSMs-other-than-SELinux).

   - Fix how we handle errors in inode_doinit_with_dentry() so that we
     attempt to properly label the inode on following lookups instead of
     continuing to treat it as unlabeled.

   - Tweak the kernel logic around allowx, auditallowx, and dontauditx
     SELinux policy statements such that the auditx/dontauditx are
     effective even without the allowx statement.

  Everything passes our test suite"

<title>tcp: fix race condition when creating child sockets from syncookies</title>
<updated>2020-11-24T00:32:33+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Ricardo Dias</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.exis.tech/linux.git/commit/?id=01770a166165738a6e05c3d911fb4609cc4eb416'/>
<id>01770a166165738a6e05c3d911fb4609cc4eb416</id>
<content type='text'>
When the TCP stack is in SYN flood mode, the server child socket is
created from the SYN cookie received in a TCP packet with the ACK flag
set.

The child socket is created when the server receives the first TCP
packet with a valid SYN cookie from the client. Usually, this packet
corresponds to the final step of the TCP 3-way handshake, the ACK
packet. But is also possible to receive a valid SYN cookie from the
first TCP data packet sent by the client, and thus create a child socket
from that SYN cookie.

Since a client socket is ready to send data as soon as it receives the
SYN+ACK packet from the server, the client can send the ACK packet (sent
by the TCP stack code), and the first data packet (sent by the userspace
program) almost at the same time, and thus the server will equally
receive the two TCP packets with valid SYN cookies almost at the same
instant.

When such event happens, the TCP stack code has a race condition that
occurs between the momement a lookup is done to the established
connections hashtable to check for the existence of a connection for the
same client, and the moment that the child socket is added to the
established connections hashtable. As a consequence, this race condition
can lead to a situation where we add two child sockets to the
established connections hashtable and deliver two sockets to the
userspace program to the same client.

This patch fixes the race condition by checking if an existing child
socket exists for the same client when we are adding the second child
socket to the established connections socket. If an existing child
socket exists, we drop the packet and discard the second child socket
to the same client.

As pointed out by Herbert in a recent related patch, the LSM hooks do
not have the necessary address family information to use the flowi
struct safely.  As none of the LSMs currently use any of the protocol
specific flowi information, replace the flowi pointers with pointers
to the address family independent flowi_common struct.

Currently, ip6_xmit() sets skb-&gt;priority based on sk-&gt;sk_priority

This is not desirable for TCP since TCP shares the same ctl socket
for a given netns. We want to be able to send RST or ACK packets
with a non zero skb-&gt;priority.

This patch has no functional change.
