ipv4: Missing sk_nulls_node_init() in ping_unhash().

2015-05-13T12:15:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit a134f083e79fb4c3d0a925691e732c56911b4326 ]

If we don't do that, then the poison value is left in the ->pprev
backlink.

This can cause crashes if we do a disconnect, followed by a connect().

tcp: avoid looping in tcp_send_fin()

2015-05-06T19:56:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 845704a535e9b3c76448f52af1b70e4422ea03fd ]

Presence of an unbound loop in tcp_send_fin() had always been hard
to explain when analyzing crash dumps involving gigantic dying processes
with millions of sockets.

Lets try a different strategy :

In case of memory pressure, try to add the FIN flag to last packet
in write queue, even if packet was already sent. TCP stack will
be able to deliver this FIN after a timeout event. Note that this
FIN being delivered by a retransmit, it also carries a Push flag
given our current implementation.

By checking sk_under_memory_pressure(), we anticipate that cooking
many FIN packets might deplete tcp memory.

In the case we could not allocate a packet, even with __GFP_WAIT
allocation, then not sending a FIN seems quite reasonable if it allows
to get rid of this socket, free memory, and not block the process from
eventually doing other useful work.

tcp: fix possible deadlock in tcp_send_fin()

2015-05-06T19:56:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit d83769a580f1132ac26439f50068a29b02be535e ]

Using sk_stream_alloc_skb() in tcp_send_fin() is dangerous in
case a huge process is killed by OOM, and tcp_mem[2] is hit.

To be able to free memory we need to make progress, so this
patch allows FIN packets to not care about tcp_mem[2], if
skb allocation succeeded.

In a follow-up patch, we might abort tcp_send_fin() infinite loop
in case TIF_MEMDIE is set on this thread, as memory allocator
did its best getting extra memory already.

ip_forward: Drop frames with attached skb->sk

2015-05-06T19:56:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2ab957492d13bb819400ac29ae55911d50a82a13 ]

Initial discussion was:
[FYI] xfrm: Don't lookup sk_policy for timewait sockets

Forwarded frames should not have a socket attached. Especially
tw sockets will lead to panics later-on in the stack.

This was observed with TPROXY assigning a tw socket and broken
policy routing (misconfigured). As a result frame enters
forwarding path instead of input. We cannot solve this in
TPROXY as it cannot know that policy routing is broken.

netfilter: conntrack: disable generic tracking for known protocols

2015-04-29T08:33:59+00:00

commit db29a9508a9246e77087c5531e45b2c88ec6988b upstream.

Given following iptables ruleset:

-P FORWARD DROP
-A FORWARD -m sctp --dport 9 -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -p tcp -m conntrack -m state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

One would assume that this allows SCTP on port 9 and TCP on port 80.
Unfortunately, if the SCTP conntrack module is not loaded, this allows
*all* SCTP communication, to pass though, i.e. -p sctp -j ACCEPT,
which we think is a security issue.

This is because on the first SCTP packet on port 9, we create a dummy
"generic l4" conntrack entry without any port information (since
conntrack doesn't know how to extract this information).

All subsequent packets that are unknown will then be in established
state since they will fallback to proto_generic and will match the
'generic' entry.

Our originally proposed version [1] completely disabled generic protocol
tracking, but Jozsef suggests to not track protocols for which a more
suitable helper is available, hence we now mitigate the issue for in
tree known ct protocol helpers only, so that at least NAT and direction
information will still be preserved for others.

tcp: tcp_make_synack() should clear skb->tstamp

[ Upstream commit b50edd7812852d989f2ef09dcfc729690f54a42d ]

I noticed tcpdump was giving funky timestamps for locally
generated SYNACK messages on loopback interface.

11:42:46.938990 IP 127.0.0.1.48245 > 127.0.0.2.23850: S
945476042:945476042(0) win 43690

3160535375:3160535375(0) ack 945476043 win 43690 

This is because we need to clear skb->tstamp before
entering lower stack, otherwise net_timestamp_check()
does not set skb->tstamp.

tcp: fix FRTO undo on cumulative ACK of SACKed range

2015-04-29T08:33:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 666b805150efd62f05810ff0db08f44a2370c937 ]

On processing cumulative ACKs, the FRTO code was not checking the
SACKed bit, meaning that there could be a spurious FRTO undo on a
cumulative ACK of a previously SACKed skb.

The FRTO code should only consider a cumulative ACK to indicate that
an original/unretransmitted skb is newly ACKed if the skb was not yet
SACKed.

The effect of the spurious FRTO undo would typically be to make the
connection think that all previously-sent packets were in flight when
they really weren't, leading to a stall and an RTO.

tcp: prevent fetching dst twice in early demux code

[ Upstream commit d0c294c53a771ae7e84506dfbd8c18c30f078735 ]

On s390x, gcc 4.8 compiles this part of tcp_v6_early_demux()

        if (dst)
                dst = dst_check(dst, inet6_sk(sk)->rx_dst_cookie);

to code reading sk->sk_rx_dst twice, once for the test and once for
the argument of ip6_dst_check() (dst_check() is inline). This allows
ip6_dst_check() to be called with null first argument, causing a crash.
