[ Upstream commit 04ca6973f7c1a0d8537f2d9906a0cf8e69886d75 ]

In "Counting Packets Sent Between Arbitrary Internet Hosts", Jeffrey and
Jedidiah describe ways exploiting linux IP identifier generation to
infer whether two machines are exchanging packets.

With commit 73f156a6e8c1 ("inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count"), we
changed IP id generation, but this does not really prevent this
side-channel technique.

This patch adds a random amount of perturbation so that IP identifiers
for a given destination [1] are no longer monotonically increasing after
an idle period.

Note that prandom_u32_max(1) returns 0, so if generator is used at most
once per jiffy, this patch inserts no hole in the ID suite and do not
increase collision probability.

This is jiffies based, so in the worst case (HZ=1000), the id can
rollover after ~65 seconds of idle time, which should be fine.

We also change the hash used in __ip_select_ident() to not only hash
on daddr, but also saddr and protocol, so that ICMP probes can not be
used to infer information for other protocols.

For IPv6, adds saddr into the hash as well, but not nexthdr.

If I ping the patched target, we can see ID are now hard to predict.

21:57:11.008086 IP (...)
    A &gt; target: ICMP echo request, seq 1, length 64
21:57:11.010752 IP (... id 2081 ...)
    target &gt; A: ICMP echo reply, seq 1, length 64

21:57:12.013133 IP (...)
    A &gt; target: ICMP echo request, seq 2, length 64
21:57:12.015737 IP (... id 3039 ...)

21:57:13.019251 IP (... id 3437 ...)
    target &gt; A: ICMP echo reply, seq 3, length 64

[1] TCP sessions uses a per flow ID generator not changed by this patch.

[ Upstream commit 73f156a6e8c1074ac6327e0abd1169e95eb66463 ]

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.

linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.

1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes

2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
   with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.

3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
   is about 20.

4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
   not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
   the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())

5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.

IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'

Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
with a recycled ID.

We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
as a key.

ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
belongs (it is only used from this file)

secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.

Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.

[ Upstream commit 95cb5745983c222867cc9ac593aebb2ad67d72c0 ]

Ipv4 tunnels created with "local any remote $ip" didn't work properly since
7d442fab0 (ipv4: Cache dst in tunnels). 99% of packets sent via those tunnels
had src addr = 0.0.0.0. That was because only dst_entry was cached, although
fl4.saddr has to be cached too. Every time ip_tunnel_xmit used cached dst_entry
(tunnel_rtable_get returned non-NULL), fl4.saddr was initialized with
tnl_params-&gt;saddr (= 0 in our case), and wasn't changed until iptunnel_xmit().

This patch adds saddr to ip_tunnel-&gt;dst_cache, fixing this issue.

[ Upstream commit 7f502361531e9eecb396cf99bdc9e9a59f7ebd7f ]

We have two different ways to handle changes to sk-&gt;sk_dst

First way (used by TCP) assumes socket lock is owned by caller, and use
no extra lock : __sk_dst_set() &amp; __sk_dst_reset()

Another way (used by UDP) uses sk_dst_lock because socket lock is not
always taken. Note that sk_dst_lock is not softirq safe.

These ways are not inter changeable for a given socket type.

ipv4_sk_update_pmtu(), added in linux-3.8, added a race, as it used
the socket lock as synchronization, but users might be UDP sockets.

Instead of converting sk_dst_lock to a softirq safe version, use xchg()
as we did for sk_rx_dst in commit e47eb5dfb296b ("udp: ipv4: do not use
sk_dst_lock from softirq context")

In a follow up patch, we probably can remove sk_dst_lock, as it is
only used in IPv6.

When IP route cache had been removed in linux-3.6, we broke assumption
that dst entries were all freed after rcu grace period. DST_NOCACHE
dst were supposed to be freed from dst_release(). But it appears
we want to keep such dst around, either in UDP sockets or tunnels.

In sk_dst_get() we need to make sure dst refcount is not 0
before incrementing it, or else we might end up freeing a dst
twice.

DST_NOCACHE set on a dst does not mean this dst can not be attached
to a socket or a tunnel.

Then, before actual freeing, we need to observe a rcu grace period
to make sure all other cpus can catch the fact the dst is no longer
usable.

On the mgmt level we have a key type parameter which currently accepts
two possible values: 0x00 for unauthenticated and 0x01 for
authenticated. However, in the internal struct smp_ltk representation we
have an explicit "authenticated" boolean value.

To make this distinction clear, add defines for the possible mgmt values
and do conversion to and from the internal authenticated value.

I noticed we were sending wrong IPv4 ID in TCP flows when MTU discovery
is disabled.
Note how GSO/TSO packets do not have monotonically incrementing ID.

06:37:41.575531 IP (id 14227, proto: TCP (6), length: 4396)
06:37:41.575534 IP (id 14272, proto: TCP (6), length: 65212)
06:37:41.575544 IP (id 14312, proto: TCP (6), length: 57972)
06:37:41.575678 IP (id 14317, proto: TCP (6), length: 7292)
06:37:41.575683 IP (id 14361, proto: TCP (6), length: 63764)

It appears I introduced this bug in linux-3.1.

inet_getid() must return the old value of peer-&gt;ip_id_count,
not the new one.

Lets revert this part, and remove the prevention of
a null identification field in IPv6 Fragment Extension Header,
which is dubious and not even done properly.

Fixes: 87c48fa3b463 ("ipv6: make fragment identifications less predictable")

<title>ipv6: update Destination Cache entries when gateway turn into host</title>

RFC 4861 states in 7.2.5:

	The IsRouter flag in the cache entry MUST be set based on the
         Router flag in the received advertisement.  In those cases
         where the IsRouter flag changes from TRUE to FALSE as a result
         of this update, the node MUST remove that router from the
         Default Router List and update the Destination Cache entries
         for all destinations using that neighbor as a router as
         specified in Section 7.3.3.  This is needed to detect when a
         node that is used as a router stops forwarding packets due to
         being configured as a host.

Currently, when dealing with NA Message which IsRouter flag changes from
TRUE to FALSE, the kernel only removes router from the Default Router List,
and don't update the Destination Cache entries.

Now in order to update those Destination Cache entries, i introduce
function rt6_clean_tohost().

pull request: wireless 2014-05-08

This one is all from Johannes:

"Here are a few small fixes for the current cycle: radiotap TX flags were
wrong (fix by Bob), Chun-Yeow fixes an SMPS issue with mesh interfaces,
Eliad fixes a locking bug and a cfg80211 state problem and finally
Henning sent me a fix for IBSS rate information."

Please let me know if there are problems!
