[ Upstream commit 675ee231d960af2af3606b4480324e26797eb010 ]

RST packets sent on behalf of TCP connections with TS option (RFC 7323
TCP timestamps) have incorrect TS val (set to 0), but correct TS ecr.

A &gt; B: Flags [S], seq 0, win 65535, options [mss 1000,nop,nop,TS val 100
ecr 0], length 0
B &gt; A: Flags [S.], seq 2444755794, ack 1, win 28960, options [mss
1460,nop,nop,TS val 7264344 ecr 100], length 0
A &gt; B: Flags [.], ack 1, win 65535, options [nop,nop,TS val 110 ecr
7264344], length 0

B &gt; A: Flags [R.], seq 1, ack 1, win 28960, options [nop,nop,TS val 0
ecr 110], length 0

We need to call skb_mstamp_get() to get proper TS val,
derived from skb-&gt;skb_mstamp

Note that RFC 1323 was advocating to not send TS option in RST segment,
but RFC 7323 recommends the opposite :

  Once TSopt has been successfully negotiated, that is both &lt;SYN&gt; and
  &lt;SYN,ACK&gt; contain TSopt, the TSopt MUST be sent in every non-&lt;RST&gt;
  segment for the duration of the connection, and SHOULD be sent in an
  &lt;RST&gt; segment (see Section 5.2 for details)

Note this RFC recommends to send TS val = 0, but we believe it is
premature : We do not know if all TCP stacks are properly
handling the receive side :

   When an &lt;RST&gt; segment is
   received, it MUST NOT be subjected to the PAWS check by verifying an
   acceptable value in SEG.TSval, and information from the Timestamps
   option MUST NOT be used to update connection state information.
   SEG.TSecr MAY be used to provide stricter &lt;RST&gt; acceptance checks.

In 5 years, if/when all TCP stack are RFC 7323 ready, we might consider
to decide to send TS val = 0, if it buys something.

<title>Revert "net: limit tcp/udp rmem/wmem to SOCK_{RCV,SND}BUF_MIN"</title>

<id>5d37852bf7d48e5afb5238a658cc167e7b78b381</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 8133534c760d4083 ("net: limit tcp/udp rmem/wmem to
SOCK_{RCV,SND}BUF_MIN") modified four sysctls to enforce that the values
written to them are not less than SOCK_MIN_{RCV,SND}BUF.

That change causes 4096 to no longer be accepted as a valid value for
'min' in tcp_wmem and udp_wmem_min. 4096 has been the default for both
of those sysctls for a long time, and unfortunately seems to be an
extremely popular setting. This change breaks a large number of sysctl
configurations at Facebook.

That commit referred to b1cb59cf2efe7971 ("net: sysctl_net_core: check
SNDBUF and RCVBUF for min length"), which choose to use the SOCK_MIN
constants as the lower limits to avoid nasty bugs. But AFAICS, a limit
of SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF isn't necessary to do that: the BUG_ON cited in the
commit message seems to have happened because unix_stream_sendmsg()
expects a minimum of a full page (ie SK_MEM_QUANTUM) and the math broke,
not because it had less than SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF allocated.

This particular issue doesn't seem to affect TCP however: using a
setting of "1 1 1" for tcp_{r,w}mem works, although it's obviously
suboptimal. SK_MEM_QUANTUM would be a nice minimum, but it's 64K on
some archs, so there would still be breakage.

Since a value of one doesn't seem to cause any problems, we can drop the
minimum 8133534c added to fix this.

This reverts commit 8133534c760d4083f79d2cde42c636ccc0b2792e.

When replacing del_timer() with del_timer_sync(), I introduced
a deadlock condition :

reqsk_queue_unlink() is called from inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop()

inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() can be called from many contexts,
one being the timer handler itself (reqsk_timer_handler()).

In this case, del_timer_sync() loops forever.

Simple fix is to test if timer is pending.

<title>ipv4: off-by-one in continuation handling in /proc/net/route</title>

<content type='text'>
When generating /proc/net/route we emit a header followed by a line for
each route.  When a short read is performed we will restart this process
based on the open file descriptor.  When calculating the start point we
fail to take into account that the 0th entry is the header.  This leads
us to skip the first entry when doing a continuation read.

This can be easily seen with the comparison below:

  while read l; do echo "$l"; done &lt;/proc/net/route &gt;A
  cat /proc/net/route &gt;B
  diff -bu A B | grep '^[+-]'

On my example machine I have approximatly 10KB of route output.  There we
see the very first non-title element is lost in the while read case,
and an entry around the 8K mark in the cat case:

  +wlan0 00000000 02021EAC 0003 0 0 400 00000000 0 0 0
  -tun1  00C0AC0A 00000000 0001 0 0 950 00C0FFFF 0 0 0

Fix up the off-by-one when reaquiring position on continuation.

<content type='text'>
The recent refactoring of the IGMP and MLD parsing code into
ipv6_mc_check_mld() / ip_mc_check_igmp() introduced a potential crash /
BUG() invocation for bridges:

I wrongly assumed that skb_get() could be used as a simple reference
counter for an skb which is not the case. skb_get() bears additional
semantics, a user count. This leads to a BUG() invocation in
pskb_expand_head() / kernel panic if pskb_may_pull() is called on an skb
with a user count greater than one - unfortunately the refactoring did
just that.

Fixing this by removing the skb_get() call and changing the API: The
caller of ipv6_mc_check_mld() / ip_mc_check_igmp() now needs to
additionally check whether the returned skb_trimmed is a clone.

reqsk_queue_destroy() and reqsk_queue_unlink() should use
del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() before calling reqsk_put(),
otherwise we could free a req still used by another cpu.

But before doing so, reqsk_queue_destroy() must release syn_wait_lock
spinlock or risk a dead lock, as reqsk_timer_handler() might
need to take this same spinlock from reqsk_queue_unlink() (called from
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop())

spinlock or risk a dead lock, as reqsk_timer_handler() might
need to take this same spinlock from reqsk_queue_unlink() (called from
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop())

====================
Netfilter fixes for net

The following patchset contains five Netfilter fixes for your net tree,
they are:

1) Silence a warning on falling back to vmalloc(). Since 88eab472ec21, we can
   easily hit this warning message, that gets users confused. So let's get rid
   of it.

2) Recently when porting the template object allocation on top of kmalloc to
   fix the netns dependencies between x_tables and conntrack, the error
   checks where left unchanged. Remove IS_ERR() and check for NULL instead.
   Patch from Dan Carpenter.

3) Don't ignore gfp_flags in the new nf_ct_tmpl_alloc() function, from
   Joe Stringer.

4) Fix a crash due to NULL pointer dereference in ip6t_SYNPROXY, patch from
   Phil Sutter.

5) The sequence number of the Syn+ack that is sent from SYNPROXY to clients is
   not adjusted through our NAT infrastructure, as a result the client may
   ignore this TCP packet and TCP flow hangs until the client probes us.  Also
   from Phil Sutter.

<title>netfilter: SYNPROXY: fix sending window update to client</title>

Upon receipt of SYNACK from the server, ipt_SYNPROXY first sends back an ACK to
finish the server handshake, then calls nf_ct_seqadj_init() to initiate
sequence number adjustment of forwarded packets to the client and finally sends
a window update to the client to unblock it's TX queue.

Since synproxy_send_client_ack() does not set synproxy_send_tcp()'s nfct
parameter, no sequence number adjustment happens and the client receives the
window update with incorrect sequence number. Depending on client TCP
implementation, this leads to a significant delay (until a window probe is
being sent).

<title>udp: fix dst races with multicast early demux</title>

Multicast dst are not cached. They carry DST_NOCACHE.

As mentioned in commit f8864972126899 ("ipv4: fix dst race in
sk_dst_get()"), these dst need special care before caching them
into a socket.

Caching them is allowed only if their refcnt was not 0, ie we
must use atomic_inc_not_zero()

Also, we must use READ_ONCE() to fetch sk-&gt;sk_rx_dst, as mentioned
in commit d0c294c53a771 ("tcp: prevent fetching dst twice in early demux
code")

Fixes: 421b3885bf6d ("udp: ipv4: Add udp early demux")
