[ Upstream commit 120e9dabaf551c6dc03d3a10a1f026376cb1811c ]

syszkaller team reported another problem in DCCP [1]

Problem here is that the structure holding RTO timer
(ccid2_hc_tx_rto_expire() handler) is freed too soon.

We can not use del_timer_sync() to cancel the timer
since this timer wants to grab socket lock (that would risk a dead lock)

Solution is to defer the freeing of memory when all references to
the socket were released. Socket timers do own a reference, so this
should fix the issue.

In dccp_feat_init, when ccid_get_builtin_ccids failsto alloc
memory for rx.val, it should free tx.val before returning an
error.

[ Upstream commit b7953d3c0e30a5fc944f6b7bd0bcceb0794bcd85 ]

The patch "dccp: fix a memleak that dccp_ipv6 doesn't put reqsk
properly" fixed reqsk refcnt leak for dccp_ipv6. The same issue
exists on dccp_ipv4.

This patch is to fix it for dccp_ipv4.

<id>urn:sha1:01c23dffbca03bc7e22fe292deaaf5e550900155</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 0c2232b0a71db0ac1d22f751aa1ac0cadb950fd2 ]

In dccp_v6_conn_request, after reqsk gets alloced and hashed into
ehash table, reqsk's refcnt is set 3. one is for req-&gt;rsk_timer,
one is for hlist, and the other one is for current using.

The problem is when dccp_v6_conn_request returns and finishes using
reqsk, it doesn't put reqsk. This will cause reqsk refcnt leaks and
reqsk obj never gets freed.

Jianlin found this issue when running dccp_memleak.c in a loop, the
system memory would run out.

dccp_memleak.c:
  int s1 = socket(PF_INET6, 6, IPPROTO_IP);
  bind(s1, &amp;sa1, 0x20);
  listen(s1, 0x9);
  int s2 = socket(PF_INET6, 6, IPPROTO_IP);
  connect(s2, &amp;sa1, 0x20);
  close(s1);
  close(s2);

This patch is to put the reqsk before dccp_v6_conn_request returns,
just as what tcp_conn_request does.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Track alignment in BPF verifier so that legitimate programs won't be
    rejected on !CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS architectures.

 2) Make tail calls work properly in arm64 BPF JIT, from Deniel
    Borkmann.

 3) Make the configuration and semantics Generic XDP make more sense and
    don't allow both generic XDP and a driver specific instance to be
    active at the same time. Also from Daniel.

 4) Don't crash on resume in xen-netfront, from Vitaly Kuznetsov.

Like commit 657831ffc38e ("dccp/tcp: do not inherit mc_list from parent")
we should clear ipv6_mc_list etc. for IPv6 sockets too.

<title>mm: Rename SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=5f0d5a3ae7cff0d7fa943c199c3a2e44f23e1fac'/>
<id>urn:sha1:5f0d5a3ae7cff0d7fa943c199c3a2e44f23e1fac</id>
<content type='text'>
A group of Linux kernel hackers reported chasing a bug that resulted
from their assumption that SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU provided an existence
guarantee, that is, that no block from such a slab would be reallocated
during an RCU read-side critical section.  Of course, that is not the
case.  Instead, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU only prevents freeing of an entire
slab of blocks.

However, there is a phrase for this, namely "type safety".  This commit
therefore renames SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU in order
to avoid future instances of this sort of confusion.

<title>dccp: fix memory leak during tear-down of unsuccessful connection request</title>

<id>urn:sha1:72ef9c4125c7b257e3a714d62d778ab46583d6a3</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes a memory leak, which happens if the connection request
is not fulfilled between parsing the DCCP options and handling the SYN
(because e.g. the backlog is full), because we forgot to free the
list of ack vectors.
