<title>sch_hfsc: Fix qlen accounting bug when using peek in hfsc_enqueue()</title>

<id>3f981138109f63232a5fb7165938d4c945cc1b9d</id>
<content type='text'>
When enqueuing the first packet to an HFSC class, hfsc_enqueue() calls the
child qdisc's peek() operation before incrementing sch-&gt;q.qlen and
sch-&gt;qstats.backlog. If the child qdisc uses qdisc_peek_dequeued(), this may
trigger an immediate dequeue and potential packet drop. In such cases,
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() is called, but the HFSC qdisc's qlen and backlog
have not yet been updated, leading to inconsistent queue accounting. This
can leave an empty HFSC class in the active list, causing further
consequences like use-after-free.

This patch fixes the bug by moving the increment of sch-&gt;q.qlen and
sch-&gt;qstats.backlog before the call to the child qdisc's peek() operation.
This ensures that queue length and backlog are always accurate when packet
drops or dequeues are triggered during the peek.

<title>net_sched: Flush gso_skb list too during -&gt;change()</title>

<id>2d3cbfd6d54a2c39ce3244f33f85c595844bd7b8</id>
<content type='text'>
Previously, when reducing a qdisc's limit via the -&gt;change() operation, only
the main skb queue was trimmed, potentially leaving packets in the gso_skb
list. This could result in NULL pointer dereference when we only check
sch-&gt;limit against sch-&gt;q.qlen.

This patch introduces a new helper, qdisc_dequeue_internal(), which ensures
both the gso_skb list and the main queue are properly flushed when trimming
excess packets. All relevant qdiscs (codel, fq, fq_codel, fq_pie, hhf, pie)
are updated to use this helper in their -&gt;change() routines.

<title>sch_htb: make htb_deactivate() idempotent</title>

Alan reported a NULL pointer dereference in htb_next_rb_node()
after we made htb_qlen_notify() idempotent.

It turns out in the following case it introduced some regression:

htb_dequeue_tree():
  |-&gt; fq_codel_dequeue()
    |-&gt; qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog()
      |-&gt; htb_qlen_notify()
        |-&gt; htb_deactivate()
  |-&gt; htb_next_rb_node()
  |-&gt; htb_deactivate()

For htb_next_rb_node(), after calling the 1st htb_deactivate(), the
clprio[prio]-&gt;ptr could be already set to  NULL, which means
htb_next_rb_node() is vulnerable here.

For htb_deactivate(), although we checked qlen before calling it, in
case of qlen==0 after qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog(), we may call it again
which triggers the warning inside.

To fix the issues here, we need to:

1) Make htb_deactivate() idempotent, that is, simply return if we
   already call it before.
2) Make htb_next_rb_node() safe against ptr==NULL.

Many thanks to Alan for testing and for the reproducer.

As described in Gerrard's report [1], there are use cases where a netem
child qdisc will make the parent qdisc's enqueue callback reentrant.
In the case of qfq, there won't be a UAF, but the code will add the same
classifier to the list twice, which will cause memory corruption.

This patch checks whether the class was already added to the agg-&gt;active
list (cl_is_active) before doing the addition to cater for the reentrant
case.

As described in Gerrard's report [1], we have a UAF case when an hfsc class
has a netem child qdisc. The crux of the issue is that hfsc is assuming
that checking for cl-&gt;qdisc-&gt;q.qlen == 0 guarantees that it hasn't inserted
the class in the vttree or eltree (which is not true for the netem
duplicate case).

This patch checks the n_active class variable to make sure that the code
won't insert the class in the vttree or eltree twice, catering for the
reentrant case.

Similarly to the previous patch, we need to safe guard hfsc_dequeue()
too. But for this one, we don't have a reliable reproducer.

This patch fixes a Use-After-Free vulnerability in the HFSC qdisc class
handling. The issue occurs due to a time-of-check/time-of-use condition
in hfsc_change_class() when working with certain child qdiscs like netem
or codel.

The vulnerability works as follows:
1. hfsc_change_class() checks if a class has packets (q.qlen != 0)
2. It then calls qdisc_peek_len(), which for certain qdiscs (e.g.,
   codel, netem) might drop packets and empty the queue
3. The code continues assuming the queue is still non-empty, adding
   the class to vttree
4. This breaks HFSC scheduler assumptions that only non-empty classes
   are in vttree
5. Later, when the class is destroyed, this can lead to a Use-After-Free

The fix adds a second queue length check after qdisc_peek_len() to verify
the queue wasn't emptied.

Fixes: 21f4d5cc25ec ("net_sched/hfsc: fix curve activation in hfsc_change_class()")

Pull networking fixes from Paolo Abeni:
 "Including fixes from netfilter.

  Current release - regressions:

    - core: hold instance lock during NETDEV_CHANGE

    - rtnetlink: fix bad unlock balance in do_setlink()

    - ipv6:
       - fix null-ptr-deref in addrconf_add_ifaddr()
       - align behavior across nexthops during path selection

  Previous releases - regressions:

    - sctp: prevent transport UaF in sendmsg

    - mptcp: only inc MPJoinAckHMacFailure for HMAC failures

  Previous releases - always broken:

    - sched:
       - make -&gt;qlen_notify() idempotent
       - ensure sufficient space when sending filter netlink notifications
       - sch_sfq: really don't allow 1 packet limit

    - netfilter: fix incorrect avx2 match of 5th field octet

    - tls: explicitly disallow disconnect

    - eth: octeontx2-pf: fix VF root node parent queue priority"

* tag 'net-6.15-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net: (38 commits)
