Subject: net: fix race on decreasing number of TX queues
From: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski(a)netronome.com>
[ Upstream commit ac5b70198adc25c73fba28de4f78adcee8f6be0b ]
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() can be called when netdev is up.
That usually happens when user requests change of number of
channels/rings with ethtool -L. The procedure for changing
the number of queues involves resetting the qdiscs and setting
dev->num_tx_queues to the new value. When the new value is
lower than the old one, extra care has to be taken to ensure
ordering of accesses to the number of queues vs qdisc reset.
Currently the queues are reset before new dev->num_tx_queues
is assigned, leaving a window of time where packets can be
enqueued onto the queues going down, leading to a likely
crash in the drivers, since most drivers don't check if TX
skbs are assigned to an active queue.

Subject: ipv6 sit: work around bogus gcc-8 -Wrestrict warning
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd(a)arndb.de>
[ Upstream commit ca79bec237f5809a7c3c59bd41cd0880aa889966 ]
gcc-8 has a new warning that detects overlapping input and output arguments
in memcpy(). It triggers for sit_init_net() calling ipip6_tunnel_clone_6rd(),
which is actually correct:
net/ipv6/sit.c: In function 'sit_init_net':
net/ipv6/sit.c:192:3: error: 'memcpy' source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict]
The problem here is that the logic detecting the memcpy() arguments finds them
to be the same, but the conditional that tests for the input and output of
ipip6_tunnel_clone_6rd() to be identical is not a compile-time constant.
We know that netdev_priv(t->dev) is the same as t for a tunnel device,
and comparing "dev" directly here lets the compiler figure out as well
that 'dev == sitn->fb_tunnel_dev' when called from sit_init_net(), so
it no longer warns.
This code is old, so Cc stable to make sure that we don't get the warning
for older kernels built with new gcc.

Sometimes when physical lines have a just good noise to make the protocol

the noise, nobody will trigger this protocol to be start again to cause
the link to never come back. The fix is when the carrier is still on, not
terminate the protocol handshaking.

Subject: fib_semantics: Don't match route with mismatching tclassid
From: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio(a)redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit a8c6db1dfd1b1d18359241372bb204054f2c3174 ]
In fib_nh_match(), if output interface or gateway are passed in
the FIB configuration, we don't have to check next hops of
multipath routes to conclude whether we have a match or not.
However, we might still have routes with different realms
matching the same output interface and gateway configuration,
and this needs to cause the match to fail. Otherwise the first
route inserted in the FIB will match, regardless of the realms:
# ip route add 1.1.1.1 dev eth0 table 1234 realms 1/2
# ip route append 1.1.1.1 dev eth0 table 1234 realms 3/4
# ip route list table 1234
1.1.1.1 dev eth0 scope link realms 1/2
1.1.1.1 dev eth0 scope link realms 3/4
# ip route del 1.1.1.1 dev ens3 table 1234 realms 3/4
# ip route list table 1234
1.1.1.1 dev ens3 scope link realms 3/4
whereas route with realms 3/4 should have been deleted instead.
Explicitly check for fc_flow passed in the FIB configuration
(this comes from RTA_FLOW extracted by rtm_to_fib_config()) and
fail matching if it differs from nh_tclassid.
The handling of RTA_FLOW for multipath routes later in
fib_nh_match() is still needed, as we can have multiple RTA_FLOW
attributes that need to be matched against the tclassid of each
next hop.
v2: Check that fc_flow is set before discarding the match, so
that the user can still select the first matching rule by
not specifying any realm, as suggested by David Ahern.

Now br_sysfs_if file flush doesn't have attr show. To read it will
cause kernel panic after users chmod u+r this file.
Xiong found this issue when running the commands:
ip link add br0 type bridge
ip link add type veth
ip link set veth0 master br0
chmod u+r /sys/devices/virtual/net/veth0/brport/flush
timeout 3 cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/veth0/brport/flush
kernel crashed with NULL a pointer dereference call trace.
This patch is to fix it by return -EINVAL when brport_attr->show
is null, just the same as the check for brport_attr->store in
brport_store().

Subject: x86/mm: Give each mm TLB flush generation a unique ID
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto(a)kernel.org>
commit f39681ed0f48498b80455095376f11535feea332 upstream.
This adds two new variables to mmu_context_t: ctx_id and tlb_gen.
ctx_id uniquely identifies the mm_struct and will never be reused.
For a given mm_struct (and hence ctx_id), tlb_gen is a monotonic
count of the number of times that a TLB flush has been requested.
The pair (ctx_id, tlb_gen) can be used as an identifier for TLB
flush actions and will be used in subsequent patches to reliably
determine whether all needed TLB flushes have occurred on a given
CPU.
This patch is split out for ease of review. By itself, it has no
real effect other than creating and updating the new variables.

Subject: udplite: fix partial checksum initialization
From: Alexey Kodanev <alexey.kodanev(a)oracle.com>
[ Upstream commit 15f35d49c93f4fa9875235e7bf3e3783d2dd7a1b ]
Since UDP-Lite is always using checksum, the following path is
triggered when calculating pseudo header for it:
udp4_csum_init() or udp6_csum_init()
skb_checksum_init_zero_check()
__skb_checksum_validate_complete()
The problem can appear if skb->len is less than CHECKSUM_BREAK. In
this particular case __skb_checksum_validate_complete() also invokes
__skb_checksum_complete(skb). If UDP-Lite is using partial checksum
that covers only part of a packet, the function will return bad
checksum and the packet will be dropped.
It can be fixed if we skip skb_checksum_init_zero_check() and only
set the required pseudo header checksum for UDP-Lite with partial
checksum before udp4_csum_init()/udp6_csum_init() functions return.

Subject: tcp_bbr: better deal with suboptimal GSO
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet(a)google.com>
[ Upstream commit 350c9f484bde93ef229682eedd98cd5f74350f7f ]
BBR uses tcp_tso_autosize() in an attempt to probe what would be the
burst sizes and to adjust cwnd in bbr_target_cwnd() with following
gold formula :
/* Allow enough full-sized skbs in flight to utilize end systems. */
cwnd += 3 * bbr->tso_segs_goal;
But GSO can be lacking or be constrained to very small
units (ip link set dev ... gso_max_segs 2)
What we really want is to have enough packets in flight so that both
GSO and GRO are efficient.
So in the case GSO is off or downgraded, we still want to have the same
number of packets in flight as if GSO/TSO was fully operational, so
that GRO can hopefully be working efficiently.
To fix this issue, we make tcp_tso_autosize() unaware of
sk->sk_gso_max_segs
Only tcp_tso_segs() has to enforce the gso_max_segs limit.
Tested:
ethtool -K eth0 tso off gso off
tc qd replace dev eth0 root pfifo_fast
Before patch:
for f in {1..5}; do ./super_netperf 1 -H lpaa24 -- -K bbr; done
691 (ss -temoi shows cwnd is stuck around 6 )

After patch :
# for f in {1..5}; do ./super_netperf 1 -H lpaa24 -- -K bbr; done
1733 (ss -temoi shows cwnd is around 386 )

[ Upstream commit 07f2c7ab6f8d0a7e7c5764c4e6cc9c52951b9d9c ]
When SCTP makes INIT or INIT_ACK packet the total chunk length
can exceed SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN which leads to kernel panic when
transmitting these packets, e.g. the crash on sending INIT_ACK:

Here the chunk size for INIT_ACK packet becomes too big, mostly
because of the state cookie (INIT packet has large size with
many address parameters), plus additional server parameters.
Later this chunk causes the panic in skb_put_data():
skb_packet_transmit()
sctp_packet_pack()
skb_put_data(nskb, chunk->skb->data, chunk->skb->len);
'nskb' (head skb) was previously allocated with packet->size
from u16 'chunk->chunk_hdr->length'.
As suggested by Marcelo we should check the chunk's length in
_sctp_make_chunk() before trying to allocate skb for it and
discard a chunk if its size bigger than SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN.
