In function ip_ra_control(), the pointer new_ra is allocated a memory
space via kmalloc(). And it is used in the following codes. However,
when  there is a memory allocation error, kmalloc() fails. Thus null
pointer dereference may happen. And it will cause the kernel to crash.
Therefore, we should check the return value and handle the error.

Commit 2efd4fca703a ("ip: in cmsg IP(V6)_ORIGDSTADDR call
pskb_may_pull") avoided a read beyond the end of the skb linear
segment by calling pskb_may_pull.

That function can trigger a BUG_ON in pskb_expand_head if the skb is
shared, which it is when when peeking. It can also return ENOMEM.

Avoid both by switching to safer skb_header_pointer.

When iptables command is executed, ip_{set/get}sockopt() try to upload
bpfilter.ko if bpfilter is enabled. if it couldn't find bpfilter.ko,
command is failed.
bpfilter.ko is generated if CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH is enabled.
ip_{set/get}sockopt() only checks CONFIG_BPFILTER.
So that if CONFIG_BPFILTER is enabled and CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH is disabled,
iptables command is always failed.

<title>ipv4/igmp: init group mode as INCLUDE when join source group</title>

<id>6e2059b53f9885f202b086d7b4ca10a98926e974</id>
<content type='text'>
Based on RFC3376 5.1
   If no interface
   state existed for that multicast address before the change (i.e., the
   change consisted of creating a new per-interface record), or if no
   state exists after the change (i.e., the change consisted of deleting
   a per-interface record), then the "non-existent" state is considered
   to have a filter mode of INCLUDE and an empty source list.

Which means a new multicast group should start with state IN().

Function ip_mc_join_group() works correctly for IGMP ASM(Any-Source Multicast)
mode. It adds a group with state EX() and inits crcount to mc_qrv,
so the kernel will send a TO_EX() report message after adding group.

But for IGMPv3 SSM(Source-specific multicast) JOIN_SOURCE_GROUP mode, we
split the group joining into two steps. First we join the group like ASM,
i.e. via ip_mc_join_group(). So the state changes from IN() to EX().

Then we add the source-specific address with INCLUDE mode. So the state
changes from EX() to IN(A).

Before the first step sends a group change record, we finished the second
step. So we will only send the second change record. i.e. TO_IN(A).

Regarding the RFC stands, we should actually send an ALLOW(A) message for
SSM JOIN_SOURCE_GROUP as the state should mimic the 'IN() to IN(A)'
transition.

The issue was exposed by commit a052517a8ff65 ("net/multicast: should not
send source list records when have filter mode change"). Before this change,
we used to send both ALLOW(A) and TO_IN(A). After this change we only send
TO_IN(A).

Fix it by adding a new parameter to init group mode. Also add new wrapper
functions so we don't need to change too much code.

v1 -&gt; v2:
In my first version I only cleared the group change record. But this is not
enough. Because when a new group join, it will init as EXCLUDE and trigger
an filter mode change in ip/ip6_mc_add_src(), which will clear all source
addresses' sf_crcount. This will prevent early joined address sending state
change records if multi source addressed joined at the same time.

In v2 patch, I fixed it by directly initializing the mode to INCLUDE for SSM
JOIN_SOURCE_GROUP. I also split the original patch into two separated patches
for IPv4 and IPv6.

A precondition check in ip_recv_error triggered on an otherwise benign
race. Remove the warning.

The warning triggers when passing an ipv6 socket to this ipv4 error
handling function. RaceFuzzer was able to trigger it due to a race
in setsockopt IPV6_ADDRFORM.

  ---
  CPU0
    do_ipv6_setsockopt
      sk-&gt;sk_family = PF_INET;

This socket option converts a v6 socket that is connected to a v4 peer
to an v4 socket. It updates the socket on the fly, changing fields in
sk as well as other structs. This is inherently non-atomic. It races
with the lockless udp_recvmsg path.

No other code makes an assumption that these fields are updated
atomically. It is benign here, too, as ip_recv_error cares only about
the protocol of the skbs enqueued on the error queue, for which
sk_family is not a precise predictor (thanks to another isue with
IPV6_ADDRFORM).

This socket option converts a v6 socket that is connected to a v4 peer
to an v4 socket. It updates the socket on the fly, changing fields in
sk as well as other structs. This is inherently non-atomic. It races
with the lockless udp_recvmsg path.

No other code makes an assumption that these fields are updated
atomically. It is benign here, too, as ip_recv_error cares only about
the protocol of the skbs enqueued on the error queue, for which
sk_family is not a precise predictor (thanks to another isue with
IPV6_ADDRFORM).

bpfilter.ko consists of bpfilter_kern.c (normal kernel module code)
and user mode helper code that is embedded into bpfilter.ko

The steps to build bpfilter.ko are the following:
- main.c is compiled by HOSTCC into the bpfilter_umh elf executable file
- with quite a bit of objcopy and Makefile magic the bpfilter_umh elf file
  is converted into bpfilter_umh.o object file
  with _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start and _end symbols
  Example:
  $ nm ./bld_x64/net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh.o
  0000000000004cf8 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_end
  0000000000004cf8 A _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_size
  0000000000000000 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start
- bpfilter_umh.o and bpfilter_kern.o are linked together into bpfilter.ko

bpfilter_kern.c is a normal kernel module code that calls
the fork_usermode_blob() helper to execute part of its own data
as a user mode process.

Notice that _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start - end
is placed into .init.rodata section, so it's freed as soon as __init
function of bpfilter.ko is finished.
As part of __init the bpfilter.ko does first request/reply action
via two unix pipe provided by fork_usermode_blob() helper to
make sure that umh is healthy. If not it will kill it via pid.

Later bpfilter_process_sockopt() will be called from bpfilter hooks
in get/setsockopt() to pass iptable commands into umh via bpfilter.ko

If admin does 'rmmod bpfilter' the __exit code bpfilter.ko will
kill umh as well.

Since ra_chain is per-net, we may use per-net mutexes
to protect them in ip_ra_control(). This improves
scalability.
