Once dst has been cached in socket via sk_setup_caps(),
it is illegal to call ip_rt_put() (or dst_release()),
since sk_setup_caps() did not change dst refcount.

We can still dereference it since we hold socket lock.

<title>ppp: avoid loop in xmit recursion detection code</title>

[ Upstream commit 6d066734e9f09cdea4a3b9cb76136db3f29cfb02 ]

We already detect situations where a PPP channel sends packets back to
its upper PPP device. While this is enough to avoid deadlocking on xmit
locks, this doesn't prevent packets from looping between the channel
and the unit.

The problem is that ppp_start_xmit() enqueues packets in ppp-&gt;file.xq
before checking for xmit recursion. Therefore, __ppp_xmit_process()
might dequeue a packet from ppp-&gt;file.xq and send it on the channel
which, in turn, loops it back on the unit. Then ppp_start_xmit()
queues the packet back to ppp-&gt;file.xq and __ppp_xmit_process() picks
it up and sends it again through the channel. Therefore, the packet
will loop between __ppp_xmit_process() and ppp_start_xmit() until some
other part of the xmit path drops it.

For L2TP, we rapidly fill the skb's headroom and pppol2tp_xmit() drops
the packet after a few iterations. But PPTP reallocates the headroom
if necessary, letting the loop run and exhaust the machine resources
(as reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199109).

Fix this by letting __ppp_xmit_process() enqueue the skb to
ppp-&gt;file.xq, so that we can check for recursion before adding it to
the queue. Now ppp_xmit_process() can drop the packet when recursion is
detected.

__ppp_channel_push() is a bit special. It calls __ppp_xmit_process()
without having any actual packet to send. This is used by
ppp_output_wakeup() to re-enable transmission on the parent unit (for
implementations like ppp_async.c, where the .start_xmit() function
might not consume the skb, leaving it in ppp-&gt;xmit_pending and
disabling transmission).
Therefore, __ppp_xmit_process() needs to handle the case where skb is
NULL, dequeuing as many packets as possible from ppp-&gt;file.xq.

<title>ppp: prevent unregistered channels from connecting to PPP units</title>

[ Upstream commit 77f840e3e5f09c6d7d727e85e6e08276dd813d11 ]

PPP units don't hold any reference on the channels connected to it.
It is the channel's responsibility to ensure that it disconnects from
its unit before being destroyed.
In practice, this is ensured by ppp_unregister_channel() disconnecting
the channel from the unit before dropping a reference on the channel.

However, it is possible for an unregistered channel to connect to a PPP
unit: register a channel with ppp_register_net_channel(), attach a
/dev/ppp file to it with ioctl(PPPIOCATTCHAN), unregister the channel
with ppp_unregister_channel() and finally connect the /dev/ppp file to
a PPP unit with ioctl(PPPIOCCONNECT).

Once in this situation, the channel is only held by the /dev/ppp file,
which can be released at anytime and free the channel without letting
the parent PPP unit know. Then the ppp structure ends up with dangling
pointers in its -&gt;channels list.

Prevent this scenario by forbidding unregistered channels from
connecting to PPP units. This maintains the code logic by keeping
ppp_unregister_channel() responsible from disconnecting the channel if
necessary and avoids modification on the reference counting mechanism.

This issue seems to predate git history (successfully reproduced on
Linux 2.6.26 and earlier PPP commits are unrelated).

[ Upstream commit 77f840e3e5f09c6d7d727e85e6e08276dd813d11 ]

PPP units don't hold any reference on the channels connected to it.
It is the channel's responsibility to ensure that it disconnects from
its unit before being destroyed.
In practice, this is ensured by ppp_unregister_channel() disconnecting
the channel from the unit before dropping a reference on the channel.

However, it is possible for an unregistered channel to connect to a PPP
unit: register a channel with ppp_register_net_channel(), attach a
/dev/ppp file to it with ioctl(PPPIOCATTCHAN), unregister the channel
with ppp_unregister_channel() and finally connect the /dev/ppp file to
a PPP unit with ioctl(PPPIOCCONNECT).

Once in this situation, the channel is only held by the /dev/ppp file,
which can be released at anytime and free the channel without letting
the parent PPP unit know. Then the ppp structure ends up with dangling
pointers in its -&gt;channels list.

Prevent this scenario by forbidding unregistered channels from
connecting to PPP units. This maintains the code logic by keeping
ppp_unregister_channel() responsible from disconnecting the channel if
necessary and avoids modification on the reference counting mechanism.

[ Upstream commit 0171c41835591e9aa2e384b703ef9a6ae367c610 ]

ppp_dev_uninit(), which is the .ndo_uninit() handler of PPP devices,
needs to lock pn-&gt;all_ppp_mutex. Therefore we mustn't call
register_netdevice() with pn-&gt;all_ppp_mutex already locked, or we'd
deadlock in case register_netdevice() fails and calls .ndo_uninit().

Fortunately, we can unlock pn-&gt;all_ppp_mutex before calling
register_netdevice(). This lock protects pn-&gt;units_idr, which isn't
used in the device registration process.

However, keeping pn-&gt;all_ppp_mutex locked during device registration
did ensure that no device in transient state would be published in
pn-&gt;units_idr. In practice, unlocking it before calling
register_netdevice() doesn't change this property: ppp_unit_register()
is called with 'ppp_mutex' locked and all searches done in
pn-&gt;units_idr hold this lock too.

<title>pppoe: take -&gt;needed_headroom of lower device into account on xmit</title>

[ Upstream commit 02612bb05e51df8489db5e94d0cf8d1c81f87b0c ]

In pppoe_sendmsg(), reserving dev-&gt;hard_header_len bytes of headroom
was probably fine before the introduction of -&gt;needed_headroom in
commit f5184d267c1a ("net: Allow netdevices to specify needed head/tailroom").

But now, virtual devices typically advertise the size of their overhead
in dev-&gt;needed_headroom, so we must also take it into account in
skb_reserve().
Allocation size of skb is also updated to take dev-&gt;needed_tailroom
into account and replace the arbitrary 32 bytes with the real size of
a PPPoE header.

This issue was discovered by syzbot, who connected a pppoe socket to a
gre device which had dev-&gt;header_ops-&gt;create == ipgre_header and
dev-&gt;hard_header_len == 0. Therefore, PPPoE didn't reserve any
headroom, and dev_hard_header() crashed when ipgre_header() tried to
prepend its header to skb-&gt;data.

[ Upstream commit 6151b8b37b119e8e3a8401b080d532520c95faf4 ]

ppp_release() tries to ensure that netdevices are unregistered before
decrementing the unit refcount and running ppp_destroy_interface().

This is all fine as long as the the device is unregistered by
ppp_release(): the unregister_netdevice() call, followed by
rtnl_unlock(), guarantee that the unregistration process completes
before rtnl_unlock() returns.

However, the device may be unregistered by other means (like
ppp_nl_dellink()). If this happens right before ppp_release() calling
rtnl_lock(), then ppp_release() has to wait for the concurrent
unregistration code to release the lock.
But rtnl_unlock() releases the lock before completing the device
unregistration process. This allows ppp_release() to proceed and
eventually call ppp_destroy_interface() before the unregistration
process completes. Calling free_netdev() on this partially unregistered
device will BUG():

We could set the -&gt;needs_free_netdev flag on PPP devices and move the
ppp_destroy_interface() logic in the -&gt;priv_destructor() callback. But
that'd be quite intrusive as we'd first need to unlink from the other
channels and units that depend on the device (the ones that used the
PPPIOCCONNECT and PPPIOCATTACH ioctls).

Instead, we can just let the netdevice hold a reference on its
ppp_file. This reference is dropped in -&gt;priv_destructor(), at the very
end of the unregistration process, so that neither ppp_release() nor
ppp_disconnect_channel() can call ppp_destroy_interface() in the interim.

unregistration process. This allows ppp_release() to proceed and
eventually call ppp_destroy_interface() before the unregistration
process completes. Calling free_netdev() on this partially unregistered
device will BUG():

We could set the -&gt;needs_free_netdev flag on PPP devices and move the
ppp_destroy_interface() logic in the -&gt;priv_destructor() callback. But
that'd be quite intrusive as we'd first need to unlink from the other
channels and units that depend on the device (the ones that used the
PPPIOCCONNECT and PPPIOCATTACH ioctls).

Instead, we can just let the netdevice hold a reference on its
ppp_file. This reference is dropped in -&gt;priv_destructor(), at the very
end of the unregistration process, so that neither ppp_release() nor
ppp_disconnect_channel() can call ppp_destroy_interface() in the interim.

[ Upstream commit 0a0e1a85c83775a648041be2b15de6d0a2f2b8eb ]

Commit e5dadc65f9e0 ("ppp: Fix false xmit recursion detect with two ppp
devices") dropped the xmit_recursion counter incrementation in
ppp_channel_push() and relied on ppp_xmit_process() for this task.
But __ppp_channel_push() can also send packets directly (using the
.start_xmit() channel callback), in which case the xmit_recursion
counter isn't incremented anymore. If such packets get routed back to
the parent ppp unit, ppp_xmit_process() won't notice the recursion and
will call ppp_channel_push() on the same channel, effectively creating
the deadlock situation that the xmit_recursion mechanism was supposed
to prevent.

This patch re-introduces the xmit_recursion counter incrementation in
ppp_channel_push(). Since the xmit_recursion variable is now part of
the parent ppp unit, incrementation is skipped if the channel doesn't
have any. This is fine because only packets routed through the parent
unit may enter the channel recursively.

Finally, we have to ensure that pch-&gt;ppp is not going to be modified
while executing ppp_channel_push(). Instead of taking this lock only
while calling ppp_xmit_process(), we now have to hold it for the full
ppp_channel_push() execution. This respects the ppp locks ordering
which requires locking -&gt;upl before -&gt;downl.

[ Upstream commit e5dadc65f9e0177eb649bcd9d333f1ebf871223e ]

The global percpu variable ppp_xmit_recursion is used to detect the ppp
xmit recursion to avoid the deadlock, which is caused by one CPU tries to
lock the xmit lock twice. But it would report false recursion when one CPU
wants to send the skb from two different PPP devices, like one L2TP on the
PPPoE. It is a normal case actually.

Now use one percpu member of struct ppp instead of the gloable variable to
detect the xmit recursion of one ppp device.
