tipc: raise the minimum bearer MTU to fit tunnel and crypto overhead
A peer can lower the link MTU to TIPC_MIN_BEARER_MTU (100 bytes, plus the UDP encapsulation header) with the max_pkt field of a RESET or ACTIVATE message; tipc_link_proto_rcv() only checks the lower bound returned by tipc_bearer_min_mtu(). The same bound is applied to the device MTU when a bearer is enabled. That bound predates two later reductions of the link MSS: tipc_link_mss() = mtu - INT_H_SIZE (tunnel header) - EMSG_OVERHEAD (CONFIG_TIPC_CRYPTO) With CONFIG_TIPC_CRYPTO=y, which is the default, an MTU of 100 gives an MSS of 28. Once the link comes up, tipc_named_node_up() calls named_distribute(), which computes msg_dsz = ((tipc_node_get_mtu() - INT_H_SIZE) / ITEM_SIZE) * ITEM_SIZE; For an MSS of 28 the subtraction is negative and the result truncates to 0xfffffff0; for an MSS between 40 and 59 it is 0. named_prepare_buf() then allocates a buffer with no room for any item (the u32 size wraps), and msg_rem never reaches zero, so every cluster-scope publication on the node is written with publ_to_item() past the end of that one skb, over skb_shared_info and into adjacent memory. Without crypto the MSS is at least 60, which still does not hold the first fragment built by tipc_msg_build(): INT_H_SIZE fragment header plus a message header of up to MAX_H_SIZE. With pktmax below that, the header copies run past the pktmax bytes allocated for the fragment. Raise TIPC_MIN_BEARER_MTU to MAX_H_SIZE + 2 * INT_H_SIZE so the MSS can always hold INT_H_SIZE + MAX_H_SIZE, which also leaves room for name table items, and add tipc_bearer_mtu_floor(), which adds EMSG_OVERHEAD on top for CONFIG_TIPC_CRYPTO=y. Use it for the device MTU check (tipc_mtu_bad()), the UDP MTU check, the netlink MTU setting and tipc_bearer_min_mtu(), which also bounds the max_pkt negotiation. Found by manual code review and reproduced with KASAN using two network namespaces joined by a veth pair (see below).
