Vladimir Rutsky reported stuck TCP sessions after memory pressure
events. Edge Trigger epoll() user would never receive an EPOLLOUT
notification allowing them to retry a sendmsg().

Jason tested the case of sk_stream_alloc_skb() returning NULL,
but there are other paths that could lead both sendmsg() and sendpage()
to return -1 (EAGAIN), with an empty skb queued on the write queue.

This patch makes sure we remove this empty skb so that
Jason code can detect that the queue is empty, and
call sk-&gt;sk_write_space(sk) accordingly.

Fixes: ce5ec440994b ("tcp: ensure epoll edge trigger wakeup when write queue is empty")

<title>net/tls: prevent skb_orphan() from leaking TLS plain text with offload</title>

<content type='text'>
sk_validate_xmit_skb() and drivers depend on the sk member of
struct sk_buff to identify segments requiring encryption.
Any operation which removes or does not preserve the original TLS
socket such as skb_orphan() or skb_clone() will cause clear text
leaks.

Make the TCP socket underlying an offloaded TLS connection
mark all skbs as decrypted, if TLS TX is in offload mode.
Then in sk_validate_xmit_skb() catch skbs which have no socket
(or a socket with no validation) and decrypted flag set.

Note that CONFIG_SOCK_VALIDATE_XMIT, CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE and
sk-&gt;sk_validate_xmit_skb are slightly interchangeable right now,
they all imply TLS offload. The new checks are guarded by
CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE because that's the option guarding the
sk_buff-&gt;decrypted member.

Second, smaller issue with orphaning is that it breaks
the guarantee that packets will be delivered to device
queues in-order. All TLS offload drivers depend on that
scheduling property. This means skb_orphan_partial()'s
trick of preserving partial socket references will cause
issues in the drivers. We need a full orphan, and as a
result netem delay/throttling will cause all TLS offload
skbs to be dropped.

Reusing the sk_buff-&gt;decrypted flag also protects from
leaking clear text when incoming, decrypted skb is redirected
(e.g. by TC).

See commit 0608c69c9a80 ("bpf: sk_msg, sock{map|hash} redirect
through ULP") for justification why the internal flag is safe.
The only location which could leak the flag in is tcp_bpf_sendmsg(),
which is taken care of by clearing the previously unused bit.

v2:
 - remove superfluous decrypted mark copy (Willem);
 - remove the stale doc entry (Boris);
 - rely entirely on EOR marking to prevent coalescing (Boris);
 - use an internal sendpages flag instead of marking the socket
   (Boris).
v3 (Willem):
 - reorganize the can_skb_orphan_partial() condition;
 - fix the flag leak-in through tcp_bpf_sendmsg.

Neal reported incorrect use of ns_capable() from bpf hook.

bpf_setsockopt(...TCP_CONGESTION...)
  -&gt; tcp_set_congestion_control()
   -&gt; ns_capable(sock_net(sk)-&gt;user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN)
    -&gt; ns_capable_common()
     -&gt; current_cred()
      -&gt; rcu_dereference_protected(current-&gt;cred, 1)

Accessing 'current' in bpf context makes no sense, since packets
are processed from softirq context.

As Neal stated : The capability check in tcp_set_congestion_control()
was written assuming a system call context, and then was reused from
a BPF call site.

The fix is to add a new parameter to tcp_set_congestion_control(),
so that the ns_capable() call is only performed under the right
context.

<title>net: fastopen: robustness and endianness fixes for SipHash</title>

<id>438ac88009bcb10f9ced07fbb4b32d5377ee936b</id>
<content type='text'>
Some changes to the TCP fastopen code to make it more robust
against future changes in the choice of key/cookie size, etc.

- Instead of keeping the SipHash key in an untyped u8[] buffer
  and casting it to the right type upon use, use the correct
  type directly. This ensures that the key will appear at the
  correct alignment if we ever change the way these data
  structures are allocated. (Currently, they are only allocated
  via kmalloc so they always appear at the correct alignment)

- Use DIV_ROUND_UP when sizing the u64[] array to hold the
  cookie, so it is always of sufficient size, even if
  TCP_FASTOPEN_COOKIE_MAX is no longer a multiple of 8.

- Drop the 'len' parameter from the tcp_fastopen_reset_cipher()
  function, which is no longer used.

- Add endian swabbing when setting the keys and calculating the hash,
  to ensure that cookie values are the same for a given key and
  source/destination address pair regardless of the endianness of
  the server.

Note that none of these are functional changes wrt the current
state of the code, with the exception of the swabbing, which only
affects big endian systems.

====================
tcp: make sack processing more robust

Jonathan Looney brought to our attention multiple problems
in TCP stack at the sender side.

SACK processing can be abused by malicious peers to either
cause overflows, or increase of memory usage.

First two patches fix the immediate problems.

Since the malicious peers abuse senders by advertizing a very
small MSS in their SYN or SYNACK packet, the last two
patches add a new sysctl so that admins can chose a higher
limit for MSS clamping.

Jonathan Looney reported that TCP can trigger the following crash
in tcp_shifted_skb() :

	BUG_ON(tcp_skb_pcount(skb) &lt; pcount);

This can happen if the remote peer has advertized the smallest
MSS that linux TCP accepts : 48

An skb can hold 17 fragments, and each fragment can hold 32KB
on x86, or 64KB on PowerPC.

This means that the 16bit witdh of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;tcp_gso_segs
can overflow.

Note that tcp_sendmsg() builds skbs with less than 64KB
of payload, so this problem needs SACK to be enabled.
SACK blocks allow TCP to coalesce multiple skbs in the retransmit
queue, thus filling the 17 fragments to maximal capacity.

CVE-2019-11477 -- u16 overflow of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;tcp_gso_segs

Jonathan Looney reported that TCP can trigger the following crash
in tcp_shifted_skb() :

	BUG_ON(tcp_skb_pcount(skb) &lt; pcount);

This can happen if the remote peer has advertized the smallest
MSS that linux TCP accepts : 48

An skb can hold 17 fragments, and each fragment can hold 32KB
on x86, or 64KB on PowerPC.

This means that the 16bit witdh of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;tcp_gso_segs
can overflow.

Note that tcp_sendmsg() builds skbs with less than 64KB
of payload, so this problem needs SACK to be enabled.
SACK blocks allow TCP to coalesce multiple skbs in the retransmit
queue, thus filling the 17 fragments to maximal capacity.
