[ Upstream commit a6361f0ca4b25460f2cdf3235ebe8115f622901e ]

Updates to the bitfields in struct packet_sock are not atomic.
Serialize these read-modify-write cycles.

Move po-&gt;running into a separate variable. Its writes are protected by
po-&gt;bind_lock (except for one startup case at packet_create). Also
replace a textual precondition warning with lockdep annotation.

All others are set only in packet_setsockopt. Serialize these
updates by holding the socket lock. Analogous to other field updates,
also hold the lock when testing whether a ring is active (pg_vec).

Fixes: 8dc419447415 ("[PACKET]: Add optional checksum computation for recvmsg")

syzkaller found a race condition fanout_demux_rollover() while removing
a packet socket from a fanout group.

po-&gt;rollover is read and operated on during packet_rcv_fanout(), via
fanout_demux_rollover(), but the pointer is currently cleared before the
synchronization in packet_release().   It is safer to delay the cleanup
until after synchronize_net() has been called, ensuring all calls to
packet_rcv_fanout() for this socket have finished.

To further simplify synchronization around the rollover structure, set
po-&gt;rollover in fanout_add() only if there are no errors.  This removes
the need for rcu in the struct and in the call to
packet_getsockopt(..., PACKET_ROLLOVER_STATS, ...).

<title>packet: add classic BPF fanout mode</title>

<content type='text'>
Add fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_CBPF that accepts a classic BPF program
to select a socket.

This avoids having to keep adding special case fanout modes. One
example use case is application layer load balancing. The QUIC
protocol, for instance, encodes a connection ID in UDP payload.

Also add socket option SOL_PACKET/PACKET_FANOUT_DATA that updates data
associated with the socket group. Fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_CBPF is the
only user so far.

Destruction of the po-&gt;rollover must be delayed until there are no
more packets in flight that can access it. The field is destroyed in
packet_release, before synchronize_net. Delay using rcu.

Rollover indicates exceptional conditions. Export a counter to inform
socket owners of this state.

If no socket with sufficient room is found, rollover fails. Also count
these events.

Finally, also count when flows are rolled over early thanks to huge
flow detection, to validate its correctness.

Tested:
  Read counters in bench_rollover on all other tests in the patchset

Migrate flows from a socket to another socket in the fanout group not
only when the socket is full. Start migrating huge flows early, to
divert possible 4-tuple attacks without affecting normal traffic.

Introduce fanout_flow_is_huge(). This detects huge flows, which are
defined as taking up more than half the load. It does so cheaply, by
storing the rxhashes of the N most recent packets. If over half of
these are the same rxhash as the current packet, then drop it. This
only protects against 4-tuple attacks. N is chosen to fit all data in
a single cache line.

Tested:
  Ran bench_rollover for 10 sec with 1.5 Mpps of single flow input.

<content type='text'>
Rollover has to call packet_rcv_has_room on sockets in the fanout
group to find a socket to migrate to. This operation is expensive
especially if the packet sockets use rings, when a lock has to be
acquired.

Avoid pounding on the lock by all sockets by temporarily marking a
socket as "under memory pressure" when such pressure is detected.
While set, only the socket owner may call packet_rcv_has_room on the
socket. Once it detects normal conditions, it clears the flag. The
socket is not used as a victim by any other socket in the meantime.

Under reasonably balanced load, each socket writer frequently calls
packet_rcv_has_room and clears its own pressure field. As a backup
for when the socket is rarely written to, also clear the flag on
reading (packet_recvmsg, packet_poll) if this can be done cheaply
(i.e., without calling packet_rcv_has_room). This is only for
edge cases.

Tested:
  Ran bench_rollover: a process with 8 sockets in a single fanout
  group, each pinned to a single cpu that receives one nic recv
  interrupt. RPS and RFS are disabled. The benchmark uses packet
  rx_ring, which has to take a lock when determining whether a
  socket has room.

  Sent 3.5 Mpps of UDP traffic with sufficient entropy to spread
  uniformly across the packet sockets (and inserted an iptables
  rule to drop in PREROUTING to avoid protocol stack processing).

  Without this patch, all sockets try to migrate traffic to
  neighbors, causing lock contention when searching for a non-
  empty neighbor. The lock is the top 9 entries.

Rollover has to call packet_rcv_has_room on sockets in the fanout
group to find a socket to migrate to. This operation is expensive
especially if the packet sockets use rings, when a lock has to be
acquired.

Avoid pounding on the lock by all sockets by temporarily marking a
socket as "under memory pressure" when such pressure is detected.
While set, only the socket owner may call packet_rcv_has_room on the
socket. Once it detects normal conditions, it clears the flag. The
socket is not used as a victim by any other socket in the meantime.

Under reasonably balanced load, each socket writer frequently calls
packet_rcv_has_room and clears its own pressure field. As a backup
for when the socket is rarely written to, also clear the flag on
reading (packet_recvmsg, packet_poll) if this can be done cheaply
(i.e., without calling packet_rcv_has_room). This is only for

Replace rollover state per fanout group with state per socket. Future
patches will add fields to the new structure.

Having to say
&gt; #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
&gt; 	struct net *net;
&gt; #endif

in structures is a little bit wordy and a little bit error prone.

Instead it is possible to say:
&gt; typedef struct {
&gt; #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
&gt;       struct net *net;
&gt; #endif
&gt; } possible_net_t;

And then in a header say:

&gt; 	possible_net_t net;

Which is cleaner and easier to use and easier to test, as the
possible_net_t is always there no matter what the compile options.

Further this allows read_pnet and write_pnet to be functions in all
cases which is better at catching typos.

This change adds possible_net_t, updates the definitions of read_pnet
and write_pnet, updates optional struct net * variables that
write_pnet uses on to have the type possible_net_t, and finally fixes
up the b0rked users of read_pnet and write_pnet.

af_packet can currently overwrite kernel memory by out of bound
accesses, because it assumed a [new] block can always hold one frame.

This is not generally the case, even if most existing tools do it right.

This patch clamps too long frames as API permits, and issue a one time
error on syslog.

[  394.357639] tpacket_rcv: packet too big, clamped from 5042 to 3966. macoff=82

In this example, packet header tp_snaplen was set to 3966,
and tp_len was set to 5042 (skb-&gt;len)
