[ Upstream commit 258bbb1b0e594ad5f5652cb526b3c63e6a7fad3d ]

The ICMP implementation currently replies to an ICMP time exceeded message
(type 11) with an ICMP host unreachable message (type 3, code 1).

However, time exceeded messages can either represent "time to live exceeded
in transit" (code 0) or "fragment reassembly time exceeded" (code 1).

Unconditionally replying to "fragment reassembly time exceeded" with
host unreachable messages might cause unjustified connection resets
which are now easily triggered as UFO has been removed, because, in turn,
sending large buffers triggers IP fragmentation.

The issue can be easily reproduced by running a lot of UDP streams
which is likely to trigger IP fragmentation:

  # start netserver in the test namespace
  ip netns add test
  ip netns exec test netserver

  # create a VETH pair
  ip link add name veth0 type veth peer name veth0 netns test
  ip link set veth0 up
  ip -n test link set veth0 up

  for i in $(seq 20 29); do
      # assign addresses to both ends
      ip addr add dev veth0 192.168.$i.1/24
      ip -n test addr add dev veth0 192.168.$i.2/24

      # start the traffic
      netperf -L 192.168.$i.1 -H 192.168.$i.2 -t UDP_STREAM -l 0 &amp;
  done

  # wait
  send_data: data send error: No route to host (errno 113)
  netperf: send_omni: send_data failed: No route to host

We need to differentiate instead: if fragment reassembly time exceeded
is reported, we need to silently drop the packet,
if time to live exceeded is reported, maintain the current behaviour.
In both cases increment the related error count "icmpInTimeExcds".

While at it, fix a typo in a comment, and convert the if statement
into a switch to mate it more readable.

<title>tcp/dccp: block bh before arming time_wait timer</title>

[ Upstream commit cfac7f836a715b91f08c851df915d401a4d52783 ]

Maciej Żenczykowski reported some panics in tcp_twsk_destructor()
that might be caused by the following bug.

timewait timer is pinned to the cpu, because we want to transition
timwewait refcount from 0 to 4 in one go, once everything has been
initialized.

At the time commit ed2e92394589 ("tcp/dccp: fix timewait races in timer
handling") was merged, TCP was always running from BH habdler.

After commit 5413d1babe8f ("net: do not block BH while processing
socket backlog") we definitely can run tcp_time_wait() from process
context.

We need to block BH in the critical section so that the pinned timer
has still its purpose.

This bug is more likely to happen under stress and when very small RTO
are used in datacenter flows.

[ Upstream commit e39d5246111399dbc6e11cd39fd8580191b86c47 ]

Now when creating fnhe for redirect, it sets fnhe_expires for this
new route cache. But when updating the exist one, it doesn't do it.
It will cause this fnhe never to be expired.

Paolo already noticed it before, in Jianlin's test case, it became
even worse:

When ip route flush cache, the old fnhe is not to be removed, but
only clean it's members. When redirect comes again, this fnhe will
be found and updated, but never be expired due to fnhe_expires not
being set.

So fix it by simply updating fnhe_expires even it's for redirect.

Now when ip route flush cache and it turn out all fnhe_genid != genid.
If a redirect/pmtu icmp packet comes and the old fnhe is found and all
it's members but fnhe_genid will be updated.

Then next time when it looks up route and tries to rebind this fnhe to
the new dst, the fnhe will be flushed due to fnhe_genid != genid. It
causes this redirect/pmtu icmp packet acutally not to be applied.

This patch is to also reset fnhe_genid when updating a route cache.

[ Upstream commit 7b4fdf77a450ec0fdcb2f677b080ddbf2c186544 ]

Andrey reports syzkaller splat caused by

NF_CT_ASSERT(!ip_is_fragment(ip_hdr(skb)));

in ipv4 nat.  But this assertion (and the comment) are wrong, this function
does see fragments when IP_NODEFRAG setsockopt is used.

As conntrack doesn't track packets without complete l4 header, only the
first fragment is tracked.

Because applying nat to first packet but not the rest makes no sense this
also turns off tracking of all fragments.

<title>net: Allow IP_MULTICAST_IF to set index to L3 slave</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 7bb387c5ab12aeac3d5eea28686489ff46b53ca9 ]

IP_MULTICAST_IF fails if sk_bound_dev_if is already set and the new index
does not match it. e.g.,

    ntpd[15381]: setsockopt IP_MULTICAST_IF 192.168.1.23 fails: Invalid argument

Relax the check in setsockopt to allow setting mc_index to an L3 slave if
sk_bound_dev_if points to an L3 master.

Make a similar change for IPv6. In this case change the device lookup to
take the rcu_read_lock avoiding a refcnt. The rcu lock is also needed for
the lookup of a potential L3 master device.

This really only silences a setsockopt failure since uses of mc_index are
secondary to sk_bound_dev_if if it is set. In both cases, if either index
is an L3 slave or master, lookups are directed to the same FIB table so
relaxing the check at setsockopt time causes no harm.

Patch is based on a suggested change by Darwin for a problem noted in
their code base.

[ Upstream commit 3b11775033dc87c3d161996c54507b15ba26414a ]

Christoph Paasch sent a patch to address the following issue :

tcp_make_synack() is leaving some TCP private info in skb-&gt;cb[],
then send the packet by other means than tcp_transmit_skb()

tcp_transmit_skb() makes sure to clear skb-&gt;cb[] to not confuse
IPv4/IPV6 stacks, but we have no such cleanup for SYNACK.

tcp_make_synack() should not use tcp_init_nondata_skb() :

tcp_init_nondata_skb() really should be limited to skbs put in write/rtx
queues (the ones that are only sent via tcp_transmit_skb())

This patch fixes the issue and should even save few cpu cycles ;)

Fixes: 971f10eca186 ("tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout to reduce cache line misses")

[ Upstream commit 4eebff27ca4182bbf5f039dd60d79e2d7c0a707e ]

Average RTT could become zero. This happened in real life at least twice.
This patch treats zero as 1us.

[ Upstream commit ad02c4f547826167a709dab8a89a1caefd2c1f50 ]

For TCP sockets, TX timestamps are only captured when the user data
is successfully and fully written to the socket. In many cases,
however, TCP writes can be partial for which no timestamp is
collected.

Collect timestamps whenever any user data is (fully or partially)
copied into the socket. Pass tcp_write_queue_tail to tcp_tx_timestamp
instead of the local skb pointer since it can be set to NULL on
the error path.

Note that tcp_write_queue_tail can be NULL, even if bytes have been
copied to the socket. This is because acknowledgements are being
processed in tcp_sendmsg(), and by the time tcp_tx_timestamp is
called tcp_write_queue_tail can be NULL. For such cases, this patch
does not collect any timestamps (i.e., it is best-effort).

This patch is written with suggestions from Willem de Bruijn and
Eric Dumazet.

Change-log V1 -&gt; V2:
	- Use sockc.tsflags instead of sk-&gt;sk_tsflags.
	- Use the same code path for normal writes and errors.
