      tcp: initialize rcv_mss to TCP_MIN_MSS instead of 0 · 499350a5
      Wei Wang authored
      When tcp_disconnect() is called, inet_csk_delack_init() sets
      icsk->icsk_ack.rcv_mss to 0.
      This could potentially cause tcp_recvmsg() => tcp_cleanup_rbuf() =>
      __tcp_select_window() call path to have division by 0 issue.
      So this patch initializes rcv_mss to TCP_MIN_MSS instead of 0.

      ====================
      Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net
      
      The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for your net tree,
      they are:
      
      1) When using IPVS in direct-routing mode, normal traffic from the LVS
         host to a back-end server is sometimes incorrectly NATed on the way
         back into the LVS host. Patch to fix this from Julian Anastasov.
      
      2) Calm down clang compilation warning in ctnetlink due to type
         mismatch, from Matthias Kaehlcke.
      
      3) Do not re-setup NAT for conntracks that are already confirmed, this
         is fixing a problem that was introduced in the previous nf-next batch.
         Patch from Liping Zhang.
      
      4) Do not allow conntrack helper removal from userspace cthelper
         infrastructure if already in used. This comes with an initial patch
         to introduce nf_conntrack_helper_put() that is required by this fix.
         From Liping Zhang.
      
      5) Zero the pad when copying data to userspace, otherwise iptables fails
         to remove rules. This is a follow up on the patchset that sorts out
         the internal match/target structure pointer leak to userspace. Patch
         from the same author, Willem de Bruijn. This also comes with a build
         failure when CONFIG_COMPAT is not on, coming in the last patch of
         this series.
      
      6) SYNPROXY crashes with conntrack entries that are created via
         ctnetlink, more specifically via conntrackd state sync. Patch from
         Eric Leblond.
      
      7) RCU safe iteration on set element dumping in nf_tables, from
         Liping Zhang.
      
      8) Missing sanitization of immediate date for the bitwise and cmp
         expressions in nf_tables.
      
      9) Refcounting logic for chain and objects from set elements does not
         integrate into the nf_tables 2-phase commit protocol.
      
      10) Missing sanitization of target verdict in ebtables arpreply target,
          from Gao Feng.

      selftests/bpf: fix broken build due to types.h · 579f1d92
      Yonghong Song authored
      Commit 0a5539f6 ("bpf: Provide a linux/types.h override
      for bpf selftests.") caused a build failure for tools/testing/selftest/bpf
      because of some missing types:
          $ make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
          ...
          In file included from /home/yhs/work/net-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_pkt_access.c:8:
          ../../../include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:170:3: error: unknown type name '__aligned_u64'
                          __aligned_u64   key;
          ...
          /usr/include/linux/swab.h:160:8: error: unknown type name '__always_inline'
          static __always_inline __u16 __swab16p(const __u16 *p)
          ...
      The type __aligned_u64 is defined in linux:include/uapi/linux/types.h.
      
      The fix is to copy missing type definition into
      tools/testing/selftests/bpf/include/uapi/linux/types.h.
      Adding additional include "string.h" resolves __always_inline issue.

       - various very small tweaks to the DM cache target that enable
         considerable speed improvements in the face of continuous IO. Given
         that the cache target was significantly reworked for 4.12 I see no
         reason to sit on these advances until 4.13 considering the favorable
         results associated with such minimalist tweaks.

      sparc/ftrace: Fix ftrace graph time measurement · 48078d2d
      Liam R. Howlett authored
      The ftrace function_graph time measurements of a given function is not
      accurate according to those recorded by ftrace using the function
      filters.  This change pulls the x86_64 fix from 'commit 722b3c74
      ("ftrace/graph: Trace function entry before updating index")' into the
      sparc specific prepare_ftrace_return which stops ftrace from
      counting interrupted tasks in the time measurement.

      sparc: Fix -Wstringop-overflow warning · deba804c
      Orlando Arias authored
      Greetings,
      
      GCC 7 introduced the -Wstringop-overflow flag to detect buffer overflows
      in calls to string handling functions [1][2]. Due to the way
      ``empty_zero_page'' is declared in arch/sparc/include/setup.h, this
      causes a warning to trigger at compile time in the function mem_init(),
      which is subsequently converted to an error. The ensuing patch fixes
      this issue and aligns the declaration of empty_zero_page to that of
      other architectures. Thank you.
      
      Cheers,
      Orlando.

      ipv6: Prevent overrun when parsing v6 header options · 2423496a
      Craig Gallek authored
      The KASAN warning repoted below was discovered with a syzkaller
      program.  The reproducer is basically:
        int s = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, NEXTHDR_HOP);
        send(s, &one_byte_of_data, 1, MSG_MORE);
        send(s, &more_than_mtu_bytes_data, 2000, 0);
      
      The socket() call sets the nexthdr field of the v6 header to
      NEXTHDR_HOP, the first send call primes the payload with a non zero
      byte of data, and the second send call triggers the fragmentation path.
      
      The fragmentation code tries to parse the header options in order
      to figure out where to insert the fragment option.  Since nexthdr points
      to an invalid option, the calculation of the size of the network header
      can made to be much larger than the linear section of the skb and data
      is read outside of it.
      
      This fix makes ip6_find_1stfrag return an error if it detects
      running out-of-bounds.

      kbuild: skip install/check of headers right under uapi directories · 05d8cba4
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      Since commit 61562f98 ("uapi: export all arch specifics
      directories"), "make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=$root/usr headers_install"
      deletes standard glibc headers and others in $(root)/usr/include.
      
      The cause of the issue is that headers_install now starts descending
      from arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/uapi with $(root)/usr/include for its
      destination when installing asm headers.  So, headers already there
      are assumed to be unwanted.
      
      When headers_install starts descending from include/uapi with
      $(root)/usr/include for its destination, it works around the problem
      by creating an dummy destination $(root)/usr/include/uapi, but this
      is tricky.
      
      To fix the problem in a clean way is to skip headers install/check
      in include/uapi and arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/uapi because we know
      there are only sub-directories in uapi directories.  A good side
      effect is the empty destination $(root)/usr/include/uapi will go
      away.
      
      I am also removing the trailing slash in the headers_check target to
      skip checking in arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/uapi.

      neighbour: update neigh timestamps iff update is effective · 77d71233
      Ihar Hrachyshka authored
      It's a common practice to send gratuitous ARPs after moving an
      IP address to another device to speed up healing of a service. To
      fulfill service availability constraints, the timing of network peers
      updating their caches to point to a new location of an IP address can be
      particularly important.
      
      Sometimes neigh_update calls won't touch neither lladdr nor state, for
      example if an update arrives in locktime interval. The neigh->updated
      value is tested by the protocol specific neigh code, which in turn
      will influence whether NEIGH_UPDATE_F_OVERRIDE gets set in the
      call to neigh_update() or not. As a result, we may effectively ignore
      the update request, bailing out of touching the neigh entry, except that
      we still bump its timestamps inside neigh_update.
      
      This may be a problem for updates arriving in quick succession. For
      example, consider the following scenario:
      
      A service is moved to another device with its IP address. The new device
      sends three gratuitous ARP requests into the network with ~1 seconds
      interval between them. Just before the first request arrives to one of
      network peer nodes, its neigh entry for the IP address transitions from
      STALE to DELAY.  This transition, among other things, updates
      neigh->updated. Once the kernel receives the first gratuitous ARP, it
      ignores it because its arrival time is inside the locktime interval. The
      kernel still bumps neigh->updated. Then the second gratuitous ARP
      request arrives, and it's also ignored because it's still in the (new)
      locktime interval. Same happens for the third request. The node
      eventually heals itself (after delay_first_probe_time seconds since the
      initial transition to DELAY state), but it just wasted some time and
      require a new ARP request/reply round trip. This unfortunate behaviour
      both puts more load on the network, as well as reduces service
      availability.
      
      This patch changes neigh_update so that it bumps neigh->updated (as well
      as neigh->confirmed) only once we are sure that either lladdr or entry
      state will change). In the scenario described above, it means that the
      second gratuitous ARP request will actually update the entry lladdr.
      
      Ideally, we would update the neigh entry on the very first gratuitous
      ARP request. The locktime mechanism is designed to ignore ARP updates in
      a short timeframe after a previous ARP update was honoured by the kernel
      layer. This would require tracking timestamps for state transitions
      separately from timestamps when actual updates are received. This would
      probably involve changes in neighbour struct. Therefore, the patch
      doesn't tackle the issue of the first gratuitous APR ignored, leaving
      it for a follow-up.

      arp: honour gratuitous ARP _replies_ · 23d268eb
      Ihar Hrachyshka authored
      When arp_accept is 1, gratuitous ARPs are supposed to override matching
      entries irrespective of whether they arrive during locktime. This was
      implemented in commit 56022a8f ("ipv4: arp: update neighbour address
      when a gratuitous arp is received and arp_accept is set")
      
      There is a glitch in the patch though. RFC 2002, section 4.6, "ARP,
      Proxy ARP, and Gratuitous ARP", defines gratuitous ARPs so that they can
      be either of Request or Reply type. Those Reply gratuitous ARPs can be
      triggered with standard tooling, for example, arping -A option does just
      that.
      
      This patch fixes the glitch, making both Request and Reply flavours of
      gratuitous ARPs to behave identically.
      
      As per RFC, if gratuitous ARPs are of Reply type, their Target Hardware
      Address field should also be set to the link-layer address to which this
      cache entry should be updated. The field is present in ARP over Ethernet
      but not in IEEE 1394. In this patch, I don't consider any broadcasted
      ARP replies as gratuitous if the field is not present, to conform the
      standard. It's not clear whether there is such a thing for IEEE 1394 as
      a gratuitous ARP reply; until it's cleared up, we will ignore such
      broadcasts. Note that they will still update existing ARP cache entries,
      assuming they arrive out of locktime time interval.
