[ Upstream commit d69bbf88c8d0b367cf3e3a052f6daadf630ee566 ]

Only cpu seeing dst refcount going to 0 can safely
dereference dst-&gt;flags.

Otherwise an other cpu might already have freed the dst.

[ Upstream commit 077cb37fcf6f00a45f375161200b5ee0cd4e937b ]

It seems that kernel memory can leak into userspace by a
kmalloc, ethtool_get_strings, then copy_to_user sequence.

Avoid this by using kcalloc to zero fill the copied buffer.

[ Upstream commit 93d08b6966cf730ea669d4d98f43627597077153 ]

When sockets have a native eBPF program attached through
setsockopt(sk, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_BPF, ...), and then try to
dump these over getsockopt(sk, SOL_SOCKET, SO_GET_FILTER, ...),
the following panic appears:

The underlying issue is the very same as in commit b382c0865600
("sock, diag: fix panic in sock_diag_put_filterinfo"), that is,
native eBPF programs don't store an original program since this
is only needed in cBPF ones.

However, sk_get_filter() wasn't updated to test for this at the
time when eBPF could be attached. Just throw an error to the user
to indicate that eBPF cannot be dumped over this interface.
That way, it can also be known that a program _is_ attached (as
opposed to just return 0), and a different (future) method needs
to be consulted for a dump.

[ Upstream commit 31b33dfb0a144469dd805514c9e63f4993729a48 ]

Earlier patch 6ae459bda tried to detect void ckecksum partial
skb by comparing pull length to checksum offset. But it does
not work for all cases since checksum-offset depends on
updates to skb-&gt;data.

Following patch fixes it by validating checksum start offset
after skb-data pointer is updated. Negative value of checksum
offset start means there is no need to checksum.

[ Upstream commit 41fc014332d91ee90c32840bf161f9685b7fbf2b ]

dump_rules returns skb length and not error.
But when family == AF_UNSPEC, the caller of dump_rules
assumes that it returns an error. Hence, when family == AF_UNSPEC,
we continue trying to dump on -EMSGSIZE errors resulting in
incorrect dump idx carried between skbs belonging to the same dump.
This results in fib rule dump always only dumping rules that fit
into the first skb.

This patch fixes dump_rules to return error so that we exit correctly
and idx is correctly maintained between skbs that are part of the
same dump.

[ Upstream commit b382c08656000c12a146723a153b85b13a855b49 ]

diag socket's sock_diag_put_filterinfo() dumps classic BPF programs
upon request to user space (ss -0 -b). However, native eBPF programs
attached to sockets (SO_ATTACH_BPF) cannot be dumped with this method:

Their orig_prog is always NULL. However, sock_diag_put_filterinfo()
unconditionally tries to access its filter length resp. wants to copy
the filter insns from there. Internal cBPF to eBPF transformations
attached to sockets don't have this issue, as orig_prog state is kept.

It's currently only used by packet sockets. If we would want to add
native eBPF support in the future, this needs to be done through
a different attribute than PACKET_DIAG_FILTER to not confuse possible
user space disassemblers that work on diag data.

unconditionally tries to access its filter length resp. wants to copy
the filter insns from there. Internal cBPF to eBPF transformations
attached to sockets don't have this issue, as orig_prog state is kept.

It's currently only used by packet sockets. If we would want to add
native eBPF support in the future, this needs to be done through
a different attribute than PACKET_DIAG_FILTER to not confuse possible
user space disassemblers that work on diag data.

<title>mm: make page pfmemalloc check more robust</title>

Commit c48a11c7ad26 ("netvm: propagate page-&gt;pfmemalloc to skb") added
checks for page-&gt;pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc():

        if (page-&gt;pfmemalloc &amp;&amp; !page-&gt;mapping)
                skb-&gt;pfmemalloc = true;

It assumes page-&gt;mapping == NULL implies that page-&gt;pfmemalloc can be
trusted.  However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page-&gt;mapping
to NULL and leave page-&gt;index value alone.  Due to being in union, a
non-zero page-&gt;index will be interpreted as true page-&gt;pfmemalloc.

So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page.
And it seems it can.  We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback
setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf.  There is no copying
going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which
interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops
packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to
be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and
that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the
server which has been dropped and thus never arrive.

The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another
hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead.  We can reuse the index
again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL).  This is the page
index so it should never see the value that large.  Replace all direct
users of page-&gt;pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this
nastiness from unspoiled eyes.

The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page-&gt;index
obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected
that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is
really needed (e.g.  what SLAB and SLUB do).

<title>net: fix wrong skb_get() usage / crash in IGMP/MLD parsing code</title>

<id>a516993f0ac1694673412eb2d16a091eafa77d2a</id>
<content type='text'>
The recent refactoring of the IGMP and MLD parsing code into
ipv6_mc_check_mld() / ip_mc_check_igmp() introduced a potential crash /
BUG() invocation for bridges:

I wrongly assumed that skb_get() could be used as a simple reference
counter for an skb which is not the case. skb_get() bears additional
semantics, a user count. This leads to a BUG() invocation in
pskb_expand_head() / kernel panic if pskb_may_pull() is called on an skb
with a user count greater than one - unfortunately the refactoring did
just that.

Fixing this by removing the skb_get() call and changing the API: The
caller of ipv6_mc_check_mld() / ip_mc_check_igmp() now needs to
additionally check whether the returned skb_trimmed is a clone.
