<title>net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:676d23690fb62b5d51ba5d659935e9f7d9da9f8e</id>
<content type='text'>
Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:

	skb_queue_tail(&amp;sk-&gt;s_receive_queue, skb);
	sk-&gt;sk_data_ready(sk, skb-&gt;len);

But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up.  So this skb-&gt;len access is potentially
to freed up memory.

Furthermore, the skb-&gt;len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.

And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument.  And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.

So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.

Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.

Bug occurs because __tcp_checksum_complete_user() enables BH, assuming
it is running from softirq context.

Lars trace involved a NIC without RX checksum support but other points
are problematic as well, like the prequeue stuff.

Problem is triggered by a timer, that found socket being owned by user.

tcp_release_cb() should call tcp_write_timer_handler() or
tcp_delack_timer_handler() in the appropriate context :

BH disabled and socket lock held, but 'owned' field cleared,
as if they were running from timer handlers.

Fixes: 6f458dfb4092 ("tcp: improve latencies of timer triggered events")

<title>net: use __GFP_NORETRY for high order allocations</title>

<content type='text'>
sock_alloc_send_pskb() &amp; sk_page_frag_refill()
have a loop trying high order allocations to prepare
skb with low number of fragments as this increases performance.

Problem is that under memory pressure/fragmentation, this can
trigger OOM while the intent was only to try the high order
allocations, then fallback to order-0 allocations.

We had various reports from unexpected regressions.

According to David, setting __GFP_NORETRY should be fine,
as the asynchronous compaction is still enabled, and this
will prevent OOM from kicking as in :

CFSClientEventm invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x42d0, order=3, oom_adj=0,
oom_score_adj=0, oom_score_badness=2 (enabled),memcg_scoring=disabled

<title>net: introduce SO_BPF_EXTENSIONS</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ea02f9411d9faa3553ed09ce0ec9f00ceae9885e</id>
<content type='text'>
For user space packet capturing libraries such as libpcap, there's
currently only one way to check which BPF extensions are supported
by the kernel, that is, commit aa1113d9f85d ("net: filter: return
-EINVAL if BPF_S_ANC* operation is not supported"). For querying all
extensions at once this might be rather inconvenient.

Therefore, this patch introduces a new option which can be used as
an argument for getsockopt(), and allows one to obtain information
about which BPF extensions are supported by the current kernel.

As David Miller suggests, we do not need to define any bits right
now and status quo can just return 0 in order to state that this
versions supports SKF_AD_PROTOCOL up to SKF_AD_PAY_OFFSET. Later
additions to BPF extensions need to add their bits to the
bpf_tell_extensions() function, as documented in the comment.

<title>net: allow &gt; 0 order atomic page alloc in skb_page_frag_refill</title>

skb_page_frag_refill currently permits only order-0 page allocs
unless GFP_WAIT is used. Change skb_page_frag_refill to attempt
higher-order page allocations whether or not GFP_WAIT is used. If
memory cannot be allocated, the allocator will fall back to
successively smaller page allocs (down to order-0 page allocs).

This change brings skb_page_frag_refill in line with the existing
page allocation strategy employed by netdev_alloc_frag, which attempts
higher-order page allocations whether or not GFP_WAIT is set, falling
back to successively lower-order page allocations on failure. Part
of migration of virtio-net to per-receive queue page frag allocators.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree,
they are:

* Add full port randomization support. Some crazy researchers found a way
  to reconstruct the secure ephemeral ports that are allocated in random mode
  by sending off-path bursts of UDP packets to overrun the socket buffer of
  the DNS resolver to trigger retransmissions, then if the timing for the
  DNS resolution done by a client is larger than usual, then they conclude
  that the port that received the burst of UDP packets is the one that was
  opened. It seems a bit aggressive method to me but it seems to work for
  them. As a result, Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa came up with a
  new NAT mode to fully randomize ports using prandom.

* Add a new classifier to x_tables based on the socket net_cls set via
  cgroups. These includes two patches to prepare the field as requested by
  Zefan Li. Also from Daniel Borkmann.

* Use prandom instead of get_random_bytes in several locations of the
  netfilter code, from Florian Westphal.

* Allow to use the CTA_MARK_MASK in ctnetlink when mangling the conntrack
  mark, also from Florian Westphal.

* Fix compilation warning due to unused variable in IPVS, from Geert
  Uytterhoeven.

* Add support for UID/GID via nfnetlink_queue, from Valentina Giusti.

* Add IPComp extension to x_tables, from Fan Du.

<title>net: netprio: rename config to be more consistent with cgroup configs</title>

While we're at it and introduced CGROUP_NET_CLASSID, lets also make
NETPRIO_CGROUP more consistent with the rest of cgroups and rename it
into CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_PRIO so that for networking, we now have
CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_{PRIO,CLASSID}. This not only makes the CONFIG
option consistent among networking cgroups, but also among cgroups
CONFIG conventions in general as the vast majority has a prefix of
CONFIG_CGROUP_&lt;SUBSYS&gt;.

<title>net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fe1217c4f3f7d7cbf8efdd8dd5fdc7204a1d65a8</id>
<content type='text'>
Zefan Li requested [1] to perform the following cleanup/refactoring:

- Split cgroupfs classid handling into net core to better express a
  possible more generic use.

- Disable module support for cgroupfs bits as the majority of other
  cgroupfs subsystems do not have that, and seems to be not wished
  from cgroup side. Zefan probably might want to follow-up for netprio
  later on.

- By this, code can be further reduced which previously took care of
  functionality built when compiled as module.

cgroupfs bits are being placed under net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c, so
that we are consistent with {netclassid,netprio}_cgroup naming that is
under net/core/ as suggested by Zefan.

No change in functionality, but only code refactoring that is being
done here.
