commit 36d5fe6a000790f56039afe26834265db0a3ad4c upstream.

skb_zerocopy can copy elements of the frags array between skbs, but it doesn't
orphan them. Also, it doesn't handle errors, so this patch takes care of that
as well, and modify the callers accordingly. skb_tx_error() is also added to
the callers so they will signal the failed delivery towards the creator of the
skb.

[bwh: Backported to 3.13: skb_zerocopy() is new in 3.14, but was moved from a
 static function in nfnetlink_queue.  We need to patch that and its caller, but
 not openvswitch.]

[ Upstream commit 10ec9472f05b45c94db3c854d22581a20b97db41 ]

There is a benign buffer overflow in ip_options_compile spotted by
AddressSanitizer[1] :

Its benign because we always can access one extra byte in skb-&gt;head
(because header is followed by struct skb_shared_info), and in this case
this byte is not even used.

[ Upstream commit 8f2e5ae40ec193bc0a0ed99e95315c3eebca84ea ]

While working on some other SCTP code, I noticed that some
structures shared with user space are leaking uninitialized
stack or heap buffer. In particular, struct sctp_sndrcvinfo
has a 2 bytes hole between .sinfo_flags and .sinfo_ppid that
remains unfilled by us in sctp_ulpevent_read_sndrcvinfo() when
putting this into cmsg. But also struct sctp_remote_error
contains a 2 bytes hole that we don't fill but place into a skb
through skb_copy_expand() via sctp_ulpevent_make_remote_error().

Both structures are defined by the IETF in RFC6458:

* Section 5.3.2. SCTP Header Information Structure:

  The sctp_sndrcvinfo structure is defined below:

  struct sctp_sndrcvinfo {
    uint16_t sinfo_stream;
    uint16_t sinfo_ssn;
    uint16_t sinfo_flags;
    &lt;-- 2 bytes hole  --&gt;
    uint32_t sinfo_ppid;
    uint32_t sinfo_context;
    uint32_t sinfo_timetolive;
    uint32_t sinfo_tsn;
    uint32_t sinfo_cumtsn;
    sctp_assoc_t sinfo_assoc_id;
  };

* 6.1.3. SCTP_REMOTE_ERROR:

  A remote peer may send an Operation Error message to its peer.
  This message indicates a variety of error conditions on an
  association. The entire ERROR chunk as it appears on the wire
  is included in an SCTP_REMOTE_ERROR event. Please refer to the
  SCTP specification [RFC4960] and any extensions for a list of
  possible error formats. An SCTP error notification has the
  following format:

  struct sctp_remote_error {
    uint16_t sre_type;
    uint16_t sre_flags;
    uint32_t sre_length;
    uint16_t sre_error;
    &lt;-- 2 bytes hole  --&gt;
    sctp_assoc_t sre_assoc_id;
    uint8_t  sre_data[];
  };

Fix this by setting both to 0 before filling them out. We also
have other structures shared between user and kernel space in
SCTP that contains holes (e.g. struct sctp_paddrthlds), but we
copy that buffer over from user space first and thus don't need
to care about it in that cases.

While at it, we can also remove lengthy comments copied from
the draft, instead, we update the comment with the correct RFC
number where one can look it up.

    uint32_t sre_length;
    uint16_t sre_error;
    &lt;-- 2 bytes hole  --&gt;
    sctp_assoc_t sre_assoc_id;
    uint8_t  sre_data[];
  };

Fix this by setting both to 0 before filling them out. We also
have other structures shared between user and kernel space in
SCTP that contains holes (e.g. struct sctp_paddrthlds), but we
copy that buffer over from user space first and thus don't need
to care about it in that cases.

While at it, we can also remove lengthy comments copied from
the draft, instead, we update the comment with the correct RFC
number where one can look it up.

<title>tipc: clear 'next'-pointer of message fragments before reassembly</title>

[ Upstream commit 999417549c16dd0e3a382aa9f6ae61688db03181 ]

If the 'next' pointer of the last fragment buffer in a message is not
zeroed before reassembly, we risk ending up with a corrupt message,
since the reassembly function itself isn't doing this.

Currently, when a buffer is retrieved from the deferred queue of the
broadcast link, the next pointer is not cleared, with the result as
described above.

This commit corrects this, and thereby fixes a bug that may occur when
long broadcast messages are transmitted across dual interfaces. The bug
has been present since 40ba3cdf542a469aaa9083fa041656e59b109b90 ("tipc:
message reassembly using fragment chain")

This commit should be applied to both net and net-next.

<title>netlink: Fix handling of error from netlink_dump().</title>

[ Upstream commit ac30ef832e6af0505b6f0251a6659adcfa74975e ]

netlink_dump() returns a negative errno value on error.  Until now,
netlink_recvmsg() directly recorded that negative value in sk-&gt;sk_err, but
that's wrong since sk_err takes positive errno values.  (This manifests as
userspace receiving a positive return value from the recv() system call,
falsely indicating success.) This bug was introduced in the commit that
started checking the netlink_dump() return value, commit b44d211 (netlink:
handle errors from netlink_dump()).

Multithreaded Netlink dumps are one way to trigger this behavior in
practice, as described in the commit message for the userspace workaround
posted here:
    http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2014-June/042339.html

This commit also fixes the same bug in netlink_poll(), introduced in commit
cd1df525d (netlink: add flow control for memory mapped I/O).

Setting just skb-&gt;sk without taking its reference and setting a
destructor is invalid. However, in the places where this was done, skb
is used in a way not requiring skb-&gt;sk setting. So dropping the setting
of skb-&gt;sk.
Thanks to Eric Dumazet &lt;eric.dumazet@gmail.com&gt; for correct solution.

<title>tcp: fix false undo corner cases</title>

[ Upstream commit 6e08d5e3c8236e7484229e46fdf92006e1dd4c49 ]

The undo code assumes that, upon entering loss recovery, TCP
1) always retransmit something
2) the retransmission never fails locally (e.g., qdisc drop)

so undo_marker is set in tcp_enter_recovery() and undo_retrans is
incremented only when tcp_retransmit_skb() is successful.

When the assumption is broken because TCP's cwnd is too small to
retransmit or the retransmit fails locally. The next (DUP)ACK
would incorrectly revert the cwnd and the congestion state in
tcp_try_undo_dsack() or tcp_may_undo(). Subsequent (DUP)ACKs
may enter the recovery state. The sender repeatedly enter and
(incorrectly) exit recovery states if the retransmits continue to
fail locally while receiving (DUP)ACKs.

The fix is to initialize undo_retrans to -1 and start counting on
the first retransmission. Always increment undo_retrans even if the
retransmissions fail locally because they couldn't cause DSACKs to
undo the cwnd reduction.

<title>igmp: fix the problem when mc leave group</title>

[ Upstream commit 52ad353a5344f1f700c5b777175bdfa41d3cd65a ]

The problem was triggered by these steps:

1) create socket, bind and then setsockopt for add mc group.
   mreq.imr_multiaddr.s_addr = inet_addr("255.0.0.37");
   mreq.imr_interface.s_addr = inet_addr("192.168.1.2");
   setsockopt(sockfd, IPPROTO_IP, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, &amp;mreq, sizeof(mreq));

2) drop the mc group for this socket.
   mreq.imr_multiaddr.s_addr = inet_addr("255.0.0.37");
   mreq.imr_interface.s_addr = inet_addr("0.0.0.0");
   setsockopt(sockfd, IPPROTO_IP, IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP, &amp;mreq, sizeof(mreq));

3) and then drop the socket, I found the mc group was still used by the dev:

   netstat -g

   Interface       RefCnt Group
   --------------- ------ ---------------------
   eth2		   1	  255.0.0.37

Normally even though the IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP return error, the mc group still need
to be released for the netdev when drop the socket, but this process was broken when
route default is NULL, the reason is that:

The ip_mc_leave_group() will choose the in_dev by the imr_interface.s_addr, if input addr
is NULL, the default route dev will be chosen, then the ifindex is got from the dev,
then polling the inet-&gt;mc_list and return -ENODEV, but if the default route dev is NULL,
the in_dev and ifIndex is both NULL, when polling the inet-&gt;mc_list, the mc group will be
released from the mc_list, but the dev didn't dec the refcnt for this mc group, so
when dropping the socket, the mc_list is NULL and the dev still keep this group.

v1-&gt;v2: According Hideaki's suggestion, we should align with IPv6 (RFC3493) and BSDs,
	so I add the checking for the in_dev before polling the mc_list, make sure when
	we remove the mc group, dec the refcnt to the real dev which was using the mc address.
	The problem would never happened again.
