It seems I missed one change in get_timewait4_sock() to compute
the remaining time before deletion of IPV4 timewait socket.

This could result in wrong output in /proc/net/tcp for tm-&gt;when field.

Commit 10ddceb22ba (ip_tunnel:multicast process cause panic due
to skb-&gt;_skb_refdst NULL pointer) removed dst-drop call from
ip-tunnel-recv.

Following commit reintroduce dst-drop and fix the original bug by
checking loopback packet before releasing dst.

Commit 8cd3ac9f9b7b ("ipmr: advertise new mfc entries via rtnl") reuses the
function ipmr_fill_mroute() to notify mfc events.
But this function was used only for dump and thus was always setting the
flag NLM_F_MULTI, which is wrong in case of a single notification.

Libraries like libnl will wait forever for NLMSG_DONE.

Problem is triggered by a timer, that found socket being owned by user.

tcp_release_cb() should call tcp_write_timer_handler() or
tcp_delack_timer_handler() in the appropriate context :

BH disabled and socket lock held, but 'owned' field cleared,
as if they were running from timer handlers.

<title>inet: frag: make sure forced eviction removes all frags</title>

Quoting Alexander Aring:
  While fragmentation and unloading of 6lowpan module I got this kernel Oops
  after few seconds:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f88bbc30
  [..]
  Modules linked in: ipv6 [last unloaded: 6lowpan]
  Call Trace:
   [&lt;c012af4c&gt;] ? call_timer_fn+0x54/0xb3
   [&lt;c012aef8&gt;] ? process_timeout+0xa/0xa
   [&lt;c012b66b&gt;] run_timer_softirq+0x140/0x15f

Problem is that incomplete frags are still around after unload; when
their frag expire timer fires, we get crash.

When a netns is removed (also done when unloading module), inet_frag
calls the evictor with 'force' argument to purge remaining frags.

The evictor loop terminates when accounted memory ('work') drops to 0
or the lru-list becomes empty.  However, the mem accounting is done
via percpu counters and may not be accurate, i.e. loop may terminate
prematurely.

Alter evictor to only stop once the lru list is empty when force is
requested.

<title>net: fix for a race condition in the inet frag code</title>

<id>24b9bf43e93e0edd89072da51cf1fab95fc69dec</id>
<content type='text'>
I stumbled upon this very serious bug while hunting for another one,
it's a very subtle race condition between inet_frag_evictor,
inet_frag_intern and the IPv4/6 frag_queue and expire functions
(basically the users of inet_frag_kill/inet_frag_put).

What happens is that after a fragment has been added to the hash chain
but before it's been added to the lru_list (inet_frag_lru_add) in
inet_frag_intern, it may get deleted (either by an expired timer if
the system load is high or the timer sufficiently low, or by the
fraq_queue function for different reasons) before it's added to the
lru_list, then after it gets added it's a matter of time for the
evictor to get to a piece of memory which has been freed leading to a
number of different bugs depending on what's left there.

I've been able to trigger this on both IPv4 and IPv6 (which is normal
as the frag code is the same), but it's been much more difficult to
trigger on IPv4 due to the protocol differences about how fragments
are treated.

The setup I used to reproduce this is: 2 machines with 4 x 10G bonded
in a RR bond, so the same flow can be seen on multiple cards at the
same time. Then I used multiple instances of ping/ping6 to generate
fragmented packets and flood the machines with them while running
other processes to load the attacked machine.

*It is very important to have the _same flow_ coming in on multiple CPUs
concurrently. Usually the attacked machine would die in less than 30
minutes, if configured properly to have many evictor calls and timeouts
it could happen in 10 minutes or so.

An important point to make is that any caller (frag_queue or timer) of
inet_frag_kill will remove both the timer refcount and the
original/guarding refcount thus removing everything that's keeping the
frag from being freed at the next inet_frag_put.  All of this could
happen before the frag was ever added to the LRU list, then it gets
added and the evictor uses a freed fragment.

An example for IPv6 would be if a fragment is being added and is at
the stage of being inserted in the hash after the hash lock is
released, but before inet_frag_lru_add executes (or is able to obtain
the lru lock) another overlapping fragment for the same flow arrives
at a different CPU which finds it in the hash, but since it's
overlapping it drops it invoking inet_frag_kill and thus removing all
guarding refcounts, and afterwards freeing it by invoking
inet_frag_put which removes the last refcount added previously by
inet_frag_find, then inet_frag_lru_add gets executed by
inet_frag_intern and we have a freed fragment in the lru_list.

The fix is simple, just move the lru_add under the hash chain locked
region so when a removing function is called it'll have to wait for
the fragment to be added to the lru_list, and then it'll remove it (it
works because the hash chain removal is done before the lru_list one
and there's no window between the two list adds when the frag can get
dropped). With this fix applied I couldn't kill the same machine in 24
hours with the same setup.

Fixes: 3ef0eb0db4bf ("net: frag, move LRU list maintenance outside of
rwlock")

the fragment to be added to the lru_list, and then it'll remove it (it
works because the hash chain removal is done before the lru_list one
and there's no window between the two list adds when the frag can get
dropped). With this fix applied I couldn't kill the same machine in 24
hours with the same setup.

Fixes: 3ef0eb0db4bf ("net: frag, move LRU list maintenance outside of
rwlock")

when ip_tunnel process multicast packets, it may check if the packet is looped
back packet though 'rt_is_output_route(skb_rtable(skb))' in ip_tunnel_rcv(),
but before that , skb-&gt;_skb_refdst has been dropped in iptunnel_pull_header(),
so which leads to a panic.

<title>tcp: fix bogus RTT on special retransmission</title>

RTT may be bogus with tall loss probe (TLP) when a packet
is retransmitted and latter (s)acked without TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS flag.

For example, TLP calls __tcp_retransmit_skb() instead of
tcp_retransmit_skb(). The skb timestamps are updated but the sacked
flag is not marked with TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS. As a result we'll
get bogus RTT in tcp_clean_rtx_queue() or in tcp_sacktag_one() on
spurious retransmission.

The fix is to apply the sticky flag TCP_EVER_RETRANS to enforce Karn's
check on RTT sampling. However this will disable F-RTO if timeout occurs
after TLP, by resetting undo_marker in tcp_enter_loss(). We relax this
check to only if any pending retransmists are still in-flight.

<title>net: tcp: use NET_INC_STATS()</title>

While LINUX_MIB_TCPSPURIOUS_RTX_HOSTQUEUES can only be incremented
in tcp_transmit_skb() from softirq (incoming message or timer
activation), it is better to use NET_INC_STATS() instead of
NET_INC_STATS_BH() as tcp_transmit_skb() can be called from process
context.

This will avoid copy/paste confusion when/if we want to add
other SNMP counters in tcp_transmit_skb()

<title>ipv4: ipv6: better estimate tunnel header cut for correct ufo handling</title>

Currently the UFO fragmentation process does not correctly handle inner
UDP frames.

(The following tcpdumps are captured on the parent interface with ufo
disabled while tunnel has ufo enabled, 2000 bytes payload, mtu 1280,
both sit device):

IPv6:
16:39:10.031613 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 3208, offset 0, flags [DF], proto IPv6 (41), length 1300)
    192.168.122.151 &gt; 1.1.1.1: IP6 (hlim 64, next-header Fragment (44) payload length: 1240) 2001::1 &gt; 2001::8: frag (0x00000001:0|1232) 44883 &gt; distinct: UDP, length 2000
16:39:10.031709 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 3209, offset 0, flags [DF], proto IPv6 (41), length 844)
    192.168.122.151 &gt; 1.1.1.1: IP6 (hlim 64, next-header Fragment (44) payload length: 784) 2001::1 &gt; 2001::8: frag (0x00000001:0|776) 58979 &gt; 46366: UDP, length 5471

We can see that fragmentation header offset is not correctly updated.
(fragmentation id handling is corrected by 916e4cf46d0204 ("ipv6: reuse
ip6_frag_id from ip6_ufo_append_data")).

IPv4:
16:39:57.737761 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 3209, offset 0, flags [DF], proto IPIP (4), length 1296)
    192.168.122.151 &gt; 1.1.1.1: IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 57034, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 1276)
    192.168.99.1.35961 &gt; 192.168.99.2.distinct: UDP, length 2000
16:39:57.738028 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 3210, offset 0, flags [DF], proto IPIP (4), length 792)
    192.168.122.151 &gt; 1.1.1.1: IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 57035, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 772)
    192.168.99.1.13531 &gt; 192.168.99.2.20653: UDP, length 51109

In this case fragmentation id is incremented and offset is not updated.

First, I aligned inet_gso_segment and ipv6_gso_segment:
* align naming of flags
* ipv6_gso_segment: setting skb-&gt;encapsulation is unnecessary, as we
  always ensure that the state of this flag is left untouched when
  returning from upper gso segmenation function
* ipv6_gso_segment: move skb_reset_inner_headers below updating the
  fragmentation header data, we don't care for updating fragmentation
  header data
* remove currently unneeded comment indicating skb-&gt;encapsulation might
  get changed by upper gso_segment callback (gre and udp-tunnel reset
  encapsulation after segmentation on each fragment)

If we encounter an IPIP or SIT gso skb we now check for the protocol ==
IPPROTO_UDP and that we at least have already traversed another ip(6)
protocol header.

The reason why we have to special case GSO_IPIP and GSO_SIT is that
we reset skb-&gt;encapsulation to 0 while skb_mac_gso_segment the inner
protocol of GSO_UDP_TUNNEL or GSO_GRE packets.
