[ Upstream commit f1d8cba61c3c4b1eb88e507249c4cb8d635d9a76 ]

In commit c9e9042994d3 ("ipv4: fix possible seqlock deadlock") I left
another places where IP_INC_STATS_BH() were improperly used.

udp_sendmsg(), ping_v4_sendmsg() and tcp_v4_connect() are called from
process context, not from softirq context.

This was detected by lockdep seqlock support.

[ Upstream commit c0353c7b5da4cbd2ab8227e84bbc9c79890f24ce ]

MD5 key lookups on a given TCP socket were being performed
incorrectly. This fix alters parameter inputs to the MD5
lookup function tcp_md5_do_lookup, which is called by functions
tcp_md5_do_add and tcp_md5_do_del. Specifically, the change now
inputs the correct address and address family required to make
a proper lookup.

If in either of the above functions inet_csk_route_child_sock() or
__inet_inherit_port() fails, the newsk will not be freed:

    [&lt;ffffffff814a7cc3&gt;] netif_receive_skb+0x50/0x82

This happens, because sk_clone_lock initializes sk_refcnt to 2, and thus
a single sock_put() is not enough to free the memory. Additionally, things
like xfrm, memcg, cookie_values,... may have been initialized.
We have to free them properly.

This is fixed by forcing a call to tcp_done(), ending up in
inet_csk_destroy_sock, doing the final sock_put(). tcp_done() is necessary,
because it ends up doing all the cleanup on xfrm, memcg, cookie_values,
xfrm,...

Before calling tcp_done, we have to set the socket to SOCK_DEAD, to
force it entering inet_csk_destroy_sock. To avoid the warning in
inet_csk_destroy_sock, inet_num has to be set to 0.
As inet_csk_destroy_sock does a dec on orphan_count, we first have to
increase it.

Calling tcp_done() allows us to remove the calls to
tcp_clear_xmit_timer() and tcp_cleanup_congestion_control().

A similar approach is taken for dccp by calling dccp_done().

This is in the kernel since 093d282321 (tproxy: fix hash locking issue
when using port redirection in __inet_inherit_port()), thus since
version &gt;= 2.6.37.

<title>tcp: resets are misrouted</title>

[ Upstream commit 4c67525849e0b7f4bd4fab2487ec9e43ea52ef29 ]

After commit e2446eaa ("tcp_v4_send_reset: binding oif to iif in no
sock case").. tcp resets are always lost, when routing is asymmetric.
Yes, backing out that patch will result in misrouting of resets for
dead connections which used interface binding when were alive, but we
actually cannot do anything here.  What's died that's died and correct
handling normal unbound connections is obviously a priority.

Comment to comment:
&gt; This has few benefits:
&gt;   1. tcp_v6_send_reset already did that.

It was done to route resets for IPv6 link local addresses. It was a
mistake to do so for global addresses. The patch fixes this as well.

Actually, the problem appears to be even more serious than guaranteed
loss of resets.  As reported by Sergey Soloviev &lt;sol@eqv.ru&gt;, those
misrouted resets create a lot of arp traffic and huge amount of
unresolved arp entires putting down to knees NAT firewalls which use
asymmetric routing.

Use a more current kernel messaging style.

Convert a printk block to print_hex_dump.
Coalesce formats, align arguments.
Use %s, __func__ instead of embedding function names.

Some messages that were prefixed with &lt;foo&gt;_close are
now prefixed with &lt;foo&gt;_fini.  Some ah4 and esp messages
are now not prefixed with "ip ".

The intent of this patch is to later add something like
  #define pr_fmt(fmt) "IPv4: " fmt.
to standardize the output messages.

Text size is trivially reduced. (x86-32 allyesconfig)

commit ea4fc0d619 (ipv4: Don't use rt-&gt;rt_{src,dst} in ip_queue_xmit())
added a serious regression on synflood handling.

Simon Kirby discovered a successful connection was delayed by 20 seconds
before being responsive.

In my tests, I discovered that xmit frames were lost, and needed ~4
retransmits and a socket dst rebuild before being really sent.

In case of syncookie initiated connection, we use a different path to
initialize the socket dst, and inet-&gt;cork.fl.u.ip4 is left cleared.

As ip_queue_xmit() now depends on inet flow being setup, fix this by
copying the temp flowi4 we use in cookie_v4_check().
