<id>urn:sha1:9636fbfe7bdd60285621e37d0c3119428c78ba53</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 2459dcb96bcba94c08d6861f8a050185ff301672 ]

IFLA_IFNAME is nul-term string which means that IFLA_IFNAME buffer can be
larger than length of string which contains.

Function __rtnl_newlink() generates new own ifname if either IFLA_IFNAME
was not specified at all or userspace passed empty nul-term string.

It is expected that if userspace does not specify ifname for new ppp netdev
then kernel generates one in format "ppp&lt;id&gt;" where id matches to the ppp
unit id which can be later obtained by PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl.

And it works in this way if IFLA_IFNAME is not specified at all. But it
does not work when IFLA_IFNAME is specified with empty string.

So fix this logic also for empty IFLA_IFNAME in ppp_nl_newlink() function
and correctly generates ifname based on ppp unit identifier if userspace
did not provided preferred ifname.

Without this patch when IFLA_IFNAME was specified with empty string then
kernel created a new ppp interface in format "ppp&lt;id&gt;" but id did not
match ppp unit id returned by PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl. In this case id was some
number generated by __rtnl_newlink() function.

<id>urn:sha1:eeb4742501e09c0cc58f500ebae9efd65d33eb67</id>

commit 3125f26c514826077f2a4490b75e9b1c7a644c42 upstream.

When registering new ppp interface via PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl then kernel has
to choose interface name as this ioctl API does not support specifying it.

Kernel in this case register new interface with name "ppp&lt;id&gt;" where &lt;id&gt;
is the ppp unit id, which can be obtained via PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl. This
applies also in the case when registering new ppp interface via rtnl
without supplying IFLA_IFNAME.

PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl allows to specify own ppp unit id which will kernel
assign to ppp interface, in case this ppp id is not already used by other
ppp interface.

In case user does not specify ppp unit id then kernel choose the first free
ppp unit id. This applies also for case when creating ppp interface via
rtnl method as it does not provide a way for specifying own ppp unit id.

If some network interface (does not have to be ppp) has name "ppp&lt;id&gt;"
with this first free ppp id then PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl or rtnl call fails.

And registering new ppp interface is not possible anymore, until interface
which holds conflicting name is renamed. Or when using rtnl method with
custom interface name in IFLA_IFNAME.

As list of allocated / used ppp unit ids is not possible to retrieve from
kernel to userspace, userspace has no idea what happens nor which interface
is doing this conflict.

So change the algorithm how ppp unit id is generated. And choose the first
number which is not neither used as ppp unit id nor in some network
interface with pattern "ppp&lt;id&gt;".

This issue can be simply reproduced by following pppd call when there is no
ppp interface registered and also no interface with name pattern "ppp&lt;id&gt;":

    pppd ifname ppp1 +ipv6 noip noauth nolock local nodetach pty "pppd +ipv6 noip noauth nolock local nodetach notty"

Or by creating the one ppp interface (which gets assigned ppp unit id 0),
renaming it to "ppp1" and then trying to create a new ppp interface (which
will always fails as next free ppp unit id is 1, but network interface with
name "ppp1" exists).

This patch fixes above described issue by generating new and new ppp unit
id until some non-conflicting id with network interfaces is generated.

[ Upstream commit b8c158395119be62294da73646a3953c29ac974b ]

We don't want to disconnect a session because of a stray PADT arriving
while the interface is in promiscuous mode.
Furthermore, multicast and broadcast packets make no sense here, so
only PACKET_HOST is accepted.

commit 08cbc75f96029d3092664213a844a5e25523aa35 upstream.

Clang warns:

../drivers/net/ppp/ppp_async.c:877:6: warning: misleading indentation;

                                ^
1 warning generated.

This warning occurs because there is a space before the tab on this
line. Clean up this entire block's indentation so that it is consistent
with the Linux kernel coding style and clang no longer warns.

<title>net: core: add generic lockdep keys</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ab92d68fc22f9afab480153bd82a20f6e2533769</id>
<content type='text'>
Some interface types could be nested.
(VLAN, BONDING, TEAM, MACSEC, MACVLAN, IPVLAN, VIRT_WIFI, VXLAN, etc..)
These interface types should set lockdep class because, without lockdep
class key, lockdep always warn about unexisting circular locking.

In the current code, these interfaces have their own lockdep class keys and
these manage itself. So that there are so many duplicate code around the
/driver/net and /net/.
This patch adds new generic lockdep keys and some helper functions for it.

This patch does below changes.
a) Add lockdep class keys in struct net_device
   - qdisc_running, xmit, addr_list, qdisc_busylock
   - these keys are used as dynamic lockdep key.
b) When net_device is being allocated, lockdep keys are registered.
   - alloc_netdev_mqs()
c) When net_device is being free'd llockdep keys are unregistered.
   - free_netdev()
d) Add generic lockdep key helper function
   - netdev_register_lockdep_key()
   - netdev_unregister_lockdep_key()
   - netdev_update_lockdep_key()
e) Remove unnecessary generic lockdep macro and functions
f) Remove unnecessary lockdep code of each interfaces.

After this patch, each interface modules don't need to maintain
their lockdep keys.

<content type='text'>
commit 174e23810cd31
("sk_buff: drop all skb extensions on free and skb scrubbing") made napi
recycle always drop skb extensions.  The additional skb_ext_del() that is
performed via nf_reset on napi skb recycle is not needed anymore.

Most nf_reset() calls in the stack are there so queued skb won't block
'rmmod nf_conntrack' indefinitely.

This removes the skb_ext_del from nf_reset, and renames it to a more
fitting nf_reset_ct().

In a few selected places, add a call to skb_ext_reset to make sure that
no active extensions remain.

I am submitting this for "net", because we're still early in the release
cycle.  The patch applies to net-next too, but I think the rename causes
needless divergence between those trees.

<title>compat_ioctl: pppoe: fix PPPOEIOCSFWD handling</title>

<id>urn:sha1:055d88242a6046a1ceac3167290f054c72571cd9</id>
<content type='text'>
Support for handling the PPPOEIOCSFWD ioctl in compat mode was added in
linux-2.5.69 along with hundreds of other commands, but was always broken
sincen only the structure is compatible, but the command number is not,
due to the size being sizeof(size_t), or at first sizeof(sizeof((struct
sockaddr_pppox)), which is different on 64-bit architectures.

Guillaume Nault adds:

  And the implementation was broken until 2016 (see 29e73269aa4d ("pppoe:
  fix reference counting in PPPoE proxy")), and nobody ever noticed. I
  should probably have removed this ioctl entirely instead of fixing it.
  Clearly, it has never been used.

Fix it by adding a compat_ioctl handler for all pppoe variants that
translates the command number and then calls the regular ioctl function.

All other ioctl commands handled by pppoe are compatible between 32-bit
and 64-bit, and require compat_ptr() conversion.

This should apply to all stable kernels.

Commit 0e5a610b5ca5 ("ppp: mppe: switch to RC4 library interface"),
which was merged through the crypto tree for v5.3, changed ppp_mppe.c to
use the new arc4_crypt() library function rather than access RC4 through
the dynamic crypto_skcipher API.

Meanwhile commit aad1dcc4f011 ("ppp: mppe: Add softdep to arc4") was
merged through the net tree and added a module soft-dependency on "arc4".

The latter commit no longer makes sense because the code now uses the
"libarc4" module rather than "arc4", and also due to the direct use of
arc4_crypt(), no module soft-dependency is required.

So revert the latter commit.
