tcf_exts_miss_cookie_base_alloc() calls xa_alloc_cyclic() which can
return 1 if the allocation succeeded after wrapping. This was treated as
an error, with value 1 returned to caller tcf_exts_init_ex() which sets
exts-&gt;actions to NULL and returns 1 to caller fl_change().

fl_change() treats err == 1 as success, calling tcf_exts_validate_ex()
which calls tcf_action_init() with exts-&gt;actions as argument, where it
is dereferenced.

Example trace:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000

<title>netem: Update sch-&gt;q.qlen before qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog()</title>

qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() notifies parent qdisc only if child
qdisc becomes empty, therefore we need to reduce the backlog of the
child qdisc before calling it. Otherwise it would miss the opportunity
to call cops-&gt;qlen_notify(), in the case of DRR, it resulted in UAF
since DRR uses -&gt;qlen_notify() to maintain its active list.

<title>pfifo_tail_enqueue: Drop new packet when sch-&gt;limit == 0</title>

<id>647cef20e649c576dff271e018d5d15d998b629d</id>
<content type='text'>
Expected behaviour:
In case we reach scheduler's limit, pfifo_tail_enqueue() will drop a
packet in scheduler's queue and decrease scheduler's qlen by one.
Then, pfifo_tail_enqueue() enqueue new packet and increase
scheduler's qlen by one. Finally, pfifo_tail_enqueue() return
`NET_XMIT_CN` status code.

Weird behaviour:
In case we set `sch-&gt;limit == 0` and trigger pfifo_tail_enqueue() on a
scheduler that has no packet, the 'drop a packet' step will do nothing.
This means the scheduler's qlen still has value equal 0.
Then, we continue to enqueue new packet and increase scheduler's qlen by
one. In summary, we can leverage pfifo_tail_enqueue() to increase qlen by
one and return `NET_XMIT_CN` status code.

The problem is:
Let's say we have two qdiscs: Qdisc_A and Qdisc_B.
 - Qdisc_A's type must have '-&gt;graft()' function to create parent/child relationship.
   Let's say Qdisc_A's type is `hfsc`. Enqueue packet to this qdisc will trigger `hfsc_enqueue`.
 - Qdisc_B's type is pfifo_head_drop. Enqueue packet to this qdisc will trigger `pfifo_tail_enqueue`.
 - Qdisc_B is configured to have `sch-&gt;limit == 0`.
 - Qdisc_A is configured to route the enqueued's packet to Qdisc_B.

Enqueue packet through Qdisc_A will lead to:
 - hfsc_enqueue(Qdisc_A) -&gt; pfifo_tail_enqueue(Qdisc_B)
 - Qdisc_B-&gt;q.qlen += 1
 - pfifo_tail_enqueue() return `NET_XMIT_CN`
 - hfsc_enqueue() check for `NET_XMIT_SUCCESS` and see `NET_XMIT_CN` =&gt; hfsc_enqueue() don't increase qlen of Qdisc_A.

The whole process lead to a situation where Qdisc_A-&gt;q.qlen == 0 and Qdisc_B-&gt;q.qlen == 1.
Replace 'hfsc' with other type (for example: 'drr') still lead to the same problem.
This violate the design where parent's qlen should equal to the sum of its childrens'qlen.

Bug impact: This issue can be used for user-&gt;kernel privilege escalation when it is reachable.

<title>net: sched: refine software bypass handling in tc_run</title>

<id>a12c76a03386e32413ae8eaaefa337e491880632</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch addresses issues with filter counting in block (tcf_block),
particularly for software bypass scenarios, by introducing a more
accurate mechanism using useswcnt.

Previously, filtercnt and skipswcnt were introduced by:

  Commit 2081fd3445fe ("net: sched: cls_api: add filter counter") and
  Commit f631ef39d819 ("net: sched: cls_api: add skip_sw counter")

  filtercnt tracked all tp (tcf_proto) objects added to a block, and
  skipswcnt counted tp objects with the skipsw attribute set.

The problem is: a single tp can contain multiple filters, some with skipsw
and others without. The current implementation fails in the case:

  When the first filter in a tp has skipsw, both skipswcnt and filtercnt
  are incremented, then adding a second filter without skipsw to the same
  tp does not modify these counters because tp-&gt;counted is already set.

  This results in bypass software behavior based solely on skipswcnt
  equaling filtercnt, even when the block includes filters without
  skipsw. Consequently, filters without skipsw are inadvertently bypassed.

To address this, the patch introduces useswcnt in block to explicitly count
tp objects containing at least one filter without skipsw. Key changes
include:

  Whenever a filter without skipsw is added, its tp is marked with usesw
  and counted in useswcnt. tc_run() now uses useswcnt to determine software
  bypass, eliminating reliance on filtercnt and skipswcnt.

  This refined approach prevents software bypass for blocks containing
  mixed filters, ensuring correct behavior in tc_run().

Additionally, as atomic operations on useswcnt ensure thread safety and
tp-&gt;lock guards access to tp-&gt;usesw and tp-&gt;counted, the broader lock
down_write(&amp;block-&gt;cb_lock) is no longer required in tc_new_tfilter(),
and this resolves a performance regression caused by the filter counting
mechanism during parallel filter insertions.

  The improvement can be demonstrated using the following script:

  # cat insert_tc_rules.sh

    tc qdisc add dev ens1f0np0 ingress
    for i in $(seq 16); do
        taskset -c $i tc -b rules_$i.txt &amp;
    done
    wait

  Each of rules_$i.txt files above includes 100000 tc filter rules to a
  mlx5 driver NIC ens1f0np0.

  Without this patch:

  # time sh insert_tc_rules.sh

    real    0m50.780s
    user    0m23.556s
    sys	    4m13.032s

  With this patch:

  # time sh insert_tc_rules.sh

    real    0m17.718s
    user    0m7.807s
    sys     3m45.050s

<title>net: sched: Disallow replacing of child qdisc from one parent to another</title>

Lion Ackermann was able to create a UAF which can be abused for privilege
escalation with the following script

Step 1. create root qdisc
tc qdisc add dev lo root handle 1:0 drr

step2. a class for packet aggregation do demonstrate uaf
tc class add dev lo classid 1:1 drr

step3. a class for nesting
tc class add dev lo classid 1:2 drr

step4. a class to graft qdisc to
tc class add dev lo classid 1:3 drr

step5.
tc qdisc add dev lo parent 1:1 handle 2:0 plug limit 1024

step6.
tc qdisc add dev lo parent 1:2 handle 3:0 drr

step7.
tc class add dev lo classid 3:1 drr

step 8.
tc qdisc add dev lo parent 3:1 handle 4:0 pfifo

step 9. Display the class/qdisc layout

tc class ls dev lo
 class drr 1:1 root leaf 2: quantum 64Kb
 class drr 1:2 root leaf 3: quantum 64Kb
 class drr 3:1 root leaf 4: quantum 64Kb

tc qdisc ls
 qdisc drr 1: dev lo root refcnt 2
 qdisc plug 2: dev lo parent 1:1
 qdisc pfifo 4: dev lo parent 3:1 limit 1000p
 qdisc drr 3: dev lo parent 1:2

step10. trigger the bug &lt;=== prevented by this patch
tc qdisc replace dev lo parent 1:3 handle 4:0

step 11. Redisplay again the qdiscs/classes

tc class ls dev lo
 class drr 1:1 root leaf 2: quantum 64Kb
 class drr 1:2 root leaf 3: quantum 64Kb
 class drr 1:3 root leaf 4: quantum 64Kb
 class drr 3:1 root leaf 4: quantum 64Kb

tc qdisc ls
 qdisc drr 1: dev lo root refcnt 2
 qdisc plug 2: dev lo parent 1:1
 qdisc pfifo 4: dev lo parent 3:1 refcnt 2 limit 1000p
 qdisc drr 3: dev lo parent 1:2

Observe that a) parent for 4:0 does not change despite the replace request.
There can only be one parent.  b) refcount has gone up by two for 4:0 and
c) both class 1:3 and 3:1 are pointing to it.

Step 12.  send one packet to plug
echo "" | socat -u STDIN UDP4-DATAGRAM:127.0.0.1:8888,priority=$((0x10001))
step13.  send one packet to the grafted fifo
echo "" | socat -u STDIN UDP4-DATAGRAM:127.0.0.1:8888,priority=$((0x10003))

step14. lets trigger the uaf
tc class delete dev lo classid 1:3
tc class delete dev lo classid 1:1

The semantics of "replace" is for a del/add _on the same node_ and not
a delete from one node(3:1) and add to another node (1:3) as in step10.
While we could "fix" with a more complex approach there could be
consequences to expectations so the patch takes the preventive approach of
"disallow such config".

The existing error message ("Invalid qdisc name") is confusing
because it suggests that there is no qdisc with the given name. In
fact, the name does refer to a valid qdisc, but it doesn't match
the kind of an existing qdisc being modified or replaced. The
new error message provides more detail to eliminate confusion.

dev_deactivate_many() role is to remove the qdiscs
of a network device.

When/if a qdisc is dismantled, an rcu grace period
is needed to make sure all outstanding qdisc enqueue
are done before we proceed with a qdisc reset.

Most virtual devices do not have a qdisc.

We can call the expensive synchronize_net() only
if needed.

Note that dev_deactivate_many() does not have to deal
with qdisc-less dev_queue_xmit, as an old comment
was claiming.
