commit 9507271d960a1911a51683888837d75c171cd91f upstream.

In an environment where the KDC is running Active Directory, the
exported composite name field returned in the context could be large
enough to span a page boundary.  Attaching a scratch buffer to the
decoding xdr_stream helps deal with those cases.

The case where we saw this was actually due to behavior that's been
fixed in newer gss-proxy versions, but we're fixing it here too.

<title>libceph: request a new osdmap if lingering request maps to no osd</title>

commit b0494532214bdfbf241e94fabab5dd46f7b82631 upstream.

This commit does two things.  First, if there are any homeless
lingering requests, we now request a new osdmap even if the osdmap that
is being processed brought no changes, i.e. if a given lingering
request turned homeless in one of the previous epochs and remained
homeless in the current epoch.  Not doing so leaves us with a stale
osdmap and as a result we may miss our window for reestablishing the
watch and lose notifies.

MON=1 OSD=1:

    # cat linger-needmap.sh
    #!/bin/bash
    rbd create --size 1 test
    DEV=$(rbd map test)
    ceph osd out 0
    rbd map dne/dne # obtain a new osdmap as a side effect (!)
    sleep 1
    ceph osd in 0
    rbd resize --size 2 test
    # rbd info test | grep size -&gt; 2M
    # blockdev --getsize $DEV -&gt; 1M

N.B.: Not obtaining a new osdmap in between "osd out" and "osd in"
above is enough to make it miss that resize notify, but that is a
bug^Wlimitation of ceph watch/notify v1.

Second, homeless lingering requests are now kicked just like those
lingering requests whose mapping has changed.  This is mainly to
recognize that a homeless lingering request makes no sense and to
preserve the invariant that a registered lingering request is not
sitting on any of r_req_lru_item lists.  This spares us a WARN_ON,
which commit ba9d114ec557 ("libceph: clear r_req_lru_item in
__unregister_linger_request()") tried to fix the _wrong_ way.

<title>net: socket: Fix the wrong returns for recvmsg and sendmsg</title>

Based on 08adb7dabd4874cc5666b4490653b26534702ce0 upstream.

We found that after v3.10.73, recvmsg might return -EFAULT while -EINVAL
was expected.

We tested it through the recvmsg01 testcase come from LTP testsuit. It set
msg-&gt;msg_namelen to -1 and the recvmsg syscall returned errno 14, which is
unexpected (errno 22 is expected):

recvmsg01    4  TFAIL  :  invalid socket length ; returned -1 (expected -1),
errno 14 (expected 22)

Linux mainline has no this bug for commit 08adb7dab fixes it accidentally.
However, it is too large and complex to be backported to LTS 3.10.

Commit 281c9c36 (net: compat: Update get_compat_msghdr() to match
copy_msghdr_from_user() behaviour) made get_compat_msghdr() return
error if msg_sys-&gt;msg_namelen was negative, which changed the behaviors
of recvmsg and sendmsg syscall in a lib32 system:

Before commit 281c9c36, get_compat_msghdr() wouldn't fail and it would
return -EINVAL in move_addr_to_user() or somewhere if msg_sys-&gt;msg_namelen
was invalid and then syscall returned -EINVAL, which is correct.

And now, when msg_sys-&gt;msg_namelen is negative, get_compat_msghdr() will
fail and wants to return -EINVAL, however, the outer syscall will return
-EFAULT directly, which is unexpected.

This patch gets the return value of get_compat_msghdr() as well as
copy_msghdr_from_user(), then returns this expected value if
get_compat_msghdr() fails.

<title>tcp: avoid looping in tcp_send_fin()</title>

[ 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.

[ 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.

This patch reverts d22e15371811 ("tcp: fix tcp fin memory accounting")

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.

<title>netfilter: conntrack: disable generic tracking for known protocols</title>

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.

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.

[ Upstream commit b50edd7812852d989f2ef09dcfc729690f54a42d ]

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

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

<title>tcp: fix FRTO undo on cumulative ACK of SACKed range</title>

[ 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.
