commit b13dda9f9aa7caceeee61c080c2e544d5f5d85e5 upstream.

syzbot reported __skb_try_recv_from_queue() was using skb-&gt;peeked
while it was potentially unitialized.

We need to clear it in __skb_clone()

[ Upstream commit 53b76cdf7e8fecec1d09e38aad2f8579882591a8 ]

When coming from ndisc_netdev_event() in net/ipv6/ndisc.c,
neigh_ifdown() is called with &amp;nd_tbl, locking this while
clearing the proxy neighbor entries when eg. deleting an
interface. Calling the table's pndisc_destructor() with the
lock still held, however, can cause a deadlock: When a
multicast listener is available an IGMP packet of type
ICMPV6_MGM_REDUCTION may be sent out. When reaching
ip6_finish_output2(), if no neighbor entry for the target
address is found, __neigh_create() is called with &amp;nd_tbl,
which it'll want to lock.

Move the elements into their own list, then unlock the table
and perform the destruction.

[ Upstream commit 7ce2367254e84753bceb07327aaf5c953cfce117 ]

Syzkaller spotted an old bug which leads to reading skb beyond tail by 4
bytes on vlan tagged packets.
This is caused because skb_vlan_tagged_multi() did not check
skb_headlen.

so better use strnlen(name, IFNAMSIZ) than strlen(name) to make
sure to not upset KASAN.

<title>skbuff: only inherit relevant tx_flags</title>

<id>fcfb53c3a8c61d9e2866edf4cdc45715c8b1dfbd</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit fff88030b3ff930ca7a3d74acfee0472f33887ea ]

When inheriting tx_flags from one skbuff to another, always apply a
mask to avoid overwriting unrelated other bits in the field.

The two SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG cases clears all other bits. In practice,
tx_flags are zero at this point now. But this is fragile. Timestamp
flags are set, for instance, if in tcp_gso_segment, after this clear
in skb_segment.

The SKBTX_ANY_TSTAMP mask in __skb_tstamp_tx ensures that new
skbs do not accidentally inherit flags such as SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG.

[ Upstream commit fff88030b3ff930ca7a3d74acfee0472f33887ea ]

When inheriting tx_flags from one skbuff to another, always apply a
mask to avoid overwriting unrelated other bits in the field.

The two SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG cases clears all other bits. In practice,
tx_flags are zero at this point now. But this is fragile. Timestamp
flags are set, for instance, if in tcp_gso_segment, after this clear
in skb_segment.

The SKBTX_ANY_TSTAMP mask in __skb_tstamp_tx ensures that new
skbs do not accidentally inherit flags such as SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG.

<title>skbuff: return -EMSGSIZE in skb_to_sgvec to prevent overflow</title>

[ Upstream commit 48a1df65334b74bd7531f932cca5928932abf769 ]

This is a defense-in-depth measure in response to bugs like
4d6fa57b4dab ("macsec: avoid heap overflow in skb_to_sgvec"). There's
not only a potential overflow of sglist items, but also a stack overflow
potential, so we fix this by limiting the amount of recursion this function
is allowed to do. Not actually providing a bounded base case is a future
disaster that we can easily avoid here.

As a small matter of house keeping, we take this opportunity to move the
documentation comment over the actual function the documentation is for.

While this could be implemented by using an explicit stack of skbuffs,
when implementing this, the function complexity increased considerably,
and I don't think such complexity and bloat is actually worth it. So,
instead I built this and tested it on x86, x86_64, ARM, ARM64, and MIPS,
and measured the stack usage there. I also reverted the recent MIPS
changes that give it a separate IRQ stack, so that I could experience
some worst-case situations. I found that limiting it to 24 layers deep
yielded a good stack usage with room for safety, as well as being much
deeper than any driver actually ever creates.

<title>net: move somaxconn init from sysctl code</title>

[ Upstream commit 7c3f1875c66fbc19762760097cabc91849ea0bbb ]

The default value for somaxconn is set in sysctl_core_net_init(), but this
function is not called when kernel is configured without CONFIG_SYSCTL.

This results in the kernel not being able to accept TCP connections,
because the backlog has zero size. Usually, the user ends up with:
"TCP: request_sock_TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 7. Dropping request.  Check SNMP counters."
If SYN cookies are not enabled the connection is rejected.

Before ef547f2ac16 (tcp: remove max_qlen_log), the effects were less
severe, because the backlog was always at least eight slots long.
