[ Upstream commit e623a9e9dec29ae811d11f83d0074ba254aba374 ]

Commit 34b88a68f26a ("net: Fix use after free in the recvmmsg exit path"),
changed the exit path of recvmmsg to always return the datagrams
variable and modified the error paths to set the variable to the error
code returned by recvmsg if necessary.

However in the case sock_error returned an error, the error code was
then ignored, and recvmmsg returned 0.

Change the error path of recvmmsg to correctly return the error code
of sock_error.

The bug was triggered by using recvmmsg on a CAN interface which was
not up. Linux 4.6 and later return 0 in this case while earlier
releases returned -ENETDOWN.

<title>xattr: Fix setting security xattrs on sockfs</title>

<id>4a59015372840a6fc35d7fd40638a9d5dc3ec958</id>
<content type='text'>
The IOP_XATTR flag is set on sockfs because sockfs supports getting the
"system.sockprotoname" xattr.  Since commit 6c6ef9f2, this flag is checked for
setxattr support as well.  This is wrong on sockfs because security xattr
support there is supposed to be provided by security_inode_setsecurity.  The
smack security module relies on socket labels (xattrs).

Fix this by adding a security xattr handler on sockfs that returns
-EAGAIN, and by checking for -EAGAIN in setxattr.

We cannot simply check for -EOPNOTSUPP in setxattr because there are
filesystems that neither have direct security xattr support nor support
via security_inode_setsecurity.  A more proper fix might be to move the
call to security_inode_setsecurity into sockfs, but it's not clear to me
if that is safe: we would end up calling security_inode_post_setxattr after
that as well.

<title>sock: fix sendmmsg for partial sendmsg</title>

Do not send the next message in sendmmsg for partial sendmsg
invocations.

sendmmsg assumes that it can continue sending the next message
when the return value of the individual sendmsg invocations
is positive. It results in corrupting the data for TCP,
SCTP, and UNIX streams.

For example, sendmmsg([["abcd"], ["efgh"]]) can result in a stream
of "aefgh" if the first sendmsg invocation sends only the first
byte while the second sendmsg goes through.

Datagram sockets either send the entire datagram or fail, so
this patch affects only sockets of type SOCK_STREAM and
SOCK_SEQPACKET.

Also, fail for attribute names like "system.sockprotonameXXX" and

<title>fs: poll/select/recvmmsg: use timespec64 for timeout events</title>

<content type='text'>
struct timespec is not y2038 safe.  Even though timespec might be
sufficient to represent timeouts, use struct timespec64 here as the plan
is to get rid of all timespec reference in the kernel.

The patch transitions the common functions: poll_select_set_timeout()
and select_estimate_accuracy() to use timespec64.  And, all the syscalls
that use these functions are transitioned in the same patch.

The restart block parameters for poll uses monotonic time.  Use
timespec64 here as well to assign timeout value.  This parameter in the
restart block need not change because this only holds the monotonic
timestamp at which timeout should occur.  And, unsigned long data type
should be big enough for this timestamp.

The system call interfaces will be handled in a separate series.

Compat interfaces need not change as timespec64 is an alias to struct
timespec on a 64 bit system.

The SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set in skb_shinfo-&gt;tx_flags when
the timestamp of the TCP acknowledgement should be reported on
error queue. Since accessing skb_shinfo is likely to incur a
cache-line miss at the time of receiving the ack, the
txstamp_ack bit was added in tcp_skb_cb, which is set iff
the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set for an skb. This makes
SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag redundant.

Remove the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP and instead use the txstamp_ack bit
everywhere.

Note that this frees one bit in shinfo-&gt;tx_flags.
