<content type='text'>
Before commit 6d7b857d541e ("net: use lib/percpu_counter API for
fragmentation mem accounting"), setting the reassembly high threshold
to 0 prevented fragment reassembly as first fragment would be always
evicted before second could be added to the queue. While inefficient,
some users apparently relied on this method.

Since the commit mentioned above, a percpu counter is used for
reassembly memory accounting and high batch size avoids taking slow path
in most common scenarios. As a result, a whole full sized packet can be
reassembled without the percpu counter's main counter changing its value
so that even with high_thresh set to 0, fragmented packets can be still
reassembled and processed.

Add explicit check preventing reassembly if high threshold is zero.

This patch fixes following problems :

1) percpu_counter_init() can return an error, therefore
  init_frag_mem_limit() must propagate this error so that
  inet_frags_init_net() can do the same up to its callers.

2) If ip[46]_frags_ns_ctl_register() fail, we must unwind
   properly and free the percpu_counter.

Without this fix, we leave freed object in percpu_counters
global list (if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU) leading to crashes.

This bug was detected by KASAN and syzkaller tool
(http://github.com/google/syzkaller)

<title>inet: frags: remove INET_FRAG_EVICTED and use list_evictor for the test</title>

We can simply remove the INET_FRAG_EVICTED flag to avoid all the flags
race conditions with the evictor and use a participation test for the
evictor list, when we're at that point (after inet_frag_kill) in the
timer there're 2 possible cases:

1. The evictor added the entry to its evictor list while the timer was
waiting for the chainlock
or
2. The timer unchained the entry and the evictor won't see it

In both cases we should be able to see list_evictor correctly due
to the sync on the chainlock.

Joint work with Florian Westphal.

Frank reports 'NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup' errors when
load is high.  Instead of (potentially) unbounded restarts of the
eviction process, just skip to the next entry.

One caveat is that, when a netns is exiting, a timer may still be running
by the time inet_evict_bucket returns.

We use the frag memory accounting to wait for outstanding timers,
so that when we free the percpu counter we can be sure no running
timer will trip over it.

commit 65ba1f1ec0eff ("inet: frags: fix a race between inet_evict_bucket
and inet_frag_kill") describes the bug, but the fix doesn't work reliably.

Problem is that -&gt;flags member can be set on other cpu without chainlock
being held by that task, i.e. the RMW-Cycle can clear INET_FRAG_EVICTED
bit after we put the element on the evictor private list.

We can crash when walking the 'private' evictor list since an element can
be deleted from list underneath the evictor.

Join work with Nikolay Alexandrov.

The ipv4 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check
for NULL pointer is done as x == NULL and sometimes as !x. !x is
preferred according to checkpatch and this patch makes the code
consistent by adopting the latter form.

No changes detected by objdiff.

Use the more common dynamic_debug capable net_dbg_ratelimited
and remove the LIMIT_NETDEBUG macro.

All messages are still ratelimited.

Some KERN_&lt;LEVEL&gt; uses are changed to KERN_DEBUG.

This may have some negative impact on messages that were
emitted at KERN_INFO that are not not enabled at all unless
DEBUG is defined or dynamic_debug is enabled.  Even so,
these messages are now _not_ emitted by default.

This also eliminates the use of the net_msg_warn sysctl
"/proc/sys/net/core/warnings".  For backward compatibility,
the sysctl is not removed, but it has no function.  The extern
declaration of net_msg_warn is removed from sock.h and made
static in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c

Miscellanea:

o Update the sysctl documentation
o Remove the embedded uses of pr_fmt
o Coalesce format fragments
o Realign arguments

The WARN_ON in inet_evict_bucket can be triggered by a valid case:
inet_frag_kill and inet_evict_bucket can be running in parallel on the
same queue which means that there has been at least one more ref added
by a previous inet_frag_find call, but inet_frag_kill can delete the
timer before inet_evict_bucket which will cause the WARN_ON() there to
trigger since we'll have refcnt!=1. Now, this case is valid because the
queue is being "killed" for some reason (removed from the chain list and
its timer deleted) so it will get destroyed in the end by one of the
inet_frag_put() calls which reaches 0 i.e. refcnt is still valid.
