[ Upstream commit 5ec7d18d1813a5bead0b495045606c93873aecbb ]

This patch is to delay the endpoint free by calling call_rcu() to fix
another use-after-free issue in sctp_sock_dump():

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __lock_acquire+0x36d9/0x4c20

This issue occurs when asoc is peeled off and the old sk is freed after
getting it by asoc-&gt;base.sk and before calling lock_sock(sk).

To prevent the sk free, as a holder of the sk, ep should be alive when
calling lock_sock(). This patch uses call_rcu() and moves sock_put and
ep free into sctp_endpoint_destroy_rcu(), so that it's safe to try to
hold the ep under rcu_read_lock in sctp_transport_traverse_process().

If sctp_endpoint_hold() returns true, it means this ep is still alive
and we have held it and can continue to dump it; If it returns false,
it means this ep is dead and can be freed after rcu_read_unlock, and
we should skip it.

In sctp_sock_dump(), after locking the sk, if this ep is different from
tsp-&gt;asoc-&gt;ep, it means during this dumping, this asoc was peeled off
before calling lock_sock(), and the sk should be skipped; If this ep is
the same with tsp-&gt;asoc-&gt;ep, it means no peeloff happens on this asoc,
and due to lock_sock, no peeloff will happen either until release_sock.

Note that delaying endpoint free won't delay the port release, as the
port release happens in sctp_endpoint_destroy() before calling call_rcu().
Also, freeing endpoint by call_rcu() makes it safe to access the sk by
asoc-&gt;base.sk in sctp_assocs_seq_show() and sctp_rcv().

Thanks Jones to bring this issue up.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - improve the changelog.
  - add kfree(ep) into sctp_endpoint_destroy_rcu(), as Jakub noticed.

<content type='text'>
This patch is to introduce last_rtx_chunks into sctp_transport to detect
if there's any packet retransmission/loss happened by checking against
asoc's rtx_data_chunks in sctp_transport_pl_send().

If there is, namely, transport-&gt;last_rtx_chunks != asoc-&gt;rtx_data_chunks,
the pmtu probe will be sent out. Otherwise, increment the pl.raise_count
and return when it's in Search Complete state.

With this patch, if in Search Complete state, which is a long period, it
doesn't need to keep probing the current pmtu unless there's data packet
loss. This will save quite some traffic.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - add the missing Fixes tag.

<content type='text'>
This patch does 3 things:

  - make sctp_transport_pl_send() and sctp_transport_pl_recv()
    return bool type to decide if more probe is needed to send.

  - pr_debug() only when probe is really needed to send.

  - count pl.raise_count in sctp_transport_pl_send() instead of
    sctp_transport_pl_recv(), and it's only incremented for the
    1st probe for the same size.

These are preparations for the next patch to make probes happen
only when there's packet loss in Search Complete state.

Ilja reported that, simply putting it, nothing was validating that
from_addr_param functions were operating on initialized memory. That is,
the parameter itself was being validated by sctp_walk_params, but it
doesn't check for types and their specific sizes and it could be a 0-length
one, causing from_addr_param to potentially work over the next parameter or
even uninitialized memory.

The fix here is to, in all calls to from_addr_param, check if enough space
is there for the wanted IP address type.

Currently the PLPMUTD probe will stop for a long period (interval * 30)
after it enters search complete state. If there's a pmtu change on the
route path, it takes a long time to be aware if the ICMP TooBig packet
is lost or filtered.

As it says in rfc8899#section-4.3:

  "A DPLPMTUD method MUST NOT rely solely on this method."
  (ICMP PTB message).

This patch is to enable the other method for search complete state:

  "A PL can use the DPLPMTUD probing mechanism to periodically
   generate probe packets of the size of the current PLPMTU."

With this patch, the probe will continue with the current pmtu every
'interval' until the PMTU_RAISE_TIMER 'timeout', which we implement
by adding raise_count to raise the probe size when it counts to 30
and removing the SCTP_PL_COMPLETE check for PMTU_RAISE_TIMER.

<title>sctp: do state transition when a probe succeeds on HB ACK recv path</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=b87641aff9e772fda15d3386d159646eada2ceef'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b87641aff9e772fda15d3386d159646eada2ceef</id>
<content type='text'>
As described in rfc8899#section-5.2, when a probe succeeds, there might
be the following state transitions:

  - Base -&gt; Search, occurs when probe succeeds with BASE_PLPMTU,
    pl.pmtu is not changing,
    pl.probe_size increases by SCTP_PL_BIG_STEP,

  - Error -&gt; Search, occurs when probe succeeds with BASE_PLPMTU,
    pl.pmtu is changed from SCTP_MIN_PLPMTU to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU,
    pl.probe_size increases by SCTP_PL_BIG_STEP.

  - Search -&gt; Search Complete, occurs when probe succeeds with the probe
    size SCTP_MAX_PLPMTU less than pl.probe_high,
    pl.pmtu is not changing, but update *pathmtu* with it,
    pl.probe_size is set back to pl.pmtu to double check it.

  - Search Complete -&gt; Search, occurs when probe succeeds with the probe
    size equal to pl.pmtu,
    pl.pmtu is not changing,
    pl.probe_size increases by SCTP_PL_MIN_STEP.

So search process can be described as:

 1. When it just enters 'Search' state, *pathmtu* is not updated with
    pl.pmtu, and probe_size increases by a big step (SCTP_PL_BIG_STEP)
    each round.

 2. Until pl.probe_high is set when a probe fails, and probe_size
    decreases back to pl.pmtu, as described in the last patch.

 3. When the probe with the new size succeeds, probe_size changes to
    increase by a small step (SCTP_PL_MIN_STEP) due to pl.probe_high
    is set.

 4. Until probe_size is next to pl.probe_high, the searching finishes and
    it goes to 'Complete' state and updates *pathmtu* with pl.pmtu, and
    then probe_size is set to pl.pmtu to confirm by once more probe.

 5. This probe occurs after "30 * probe_inteval", a much longer time than
    that in Search state. Once it is done it goes to 'Search' state again
    with probe_size increased by SCTP_PL_MIN_STEP.

As we can see above, during the searching, pl.pmtu changes while *pathmtu*
doesn't. *pathmtu* is only updated when the search finishes by which it
gets an optimal value for it. A big step is used at the beginning until
it gets close to the optimal value, then it changes to a small step until
it has this optimal value.

The small step is also used in 'Complete' until it goes to 'Search' state
again and the probe with 'pmtu + the small step' succeeds, which means a
higher size could be used. Then probe_size changes to increase by a big
step again until it gets close to the next optimal value.

Note that anytime when black hole is detected, it goes directly to 'Base'
state with pl.pmtu set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU, as described in the last patch.

<title>sctp: do state transition when PROBE_COUNT == MAX_PROBES on HB send path</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1dc68c194571acc4027de5f8378227d0c0ff7e13</id>
<content type='text'>
The state transition is described in rfc8899#section-5.2,
PROBE_COUNT == MAX_PROBES means the probe fails for MAX times, and the
state transition includes:

  - Base -&gt; Error, occurs when BASE_PLPMTU Confirmation Fails,
    pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_MIN_PLPMTU,
    probe_size is still SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU;

  - Search -&gt; Base, occurs when Black Hole Detected,
    pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU,
    probe_size is set back to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU;

  - Search Complete -&gt; Base, occurs when Black Hole Detected
    pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU,
    probe_size is set back to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU;

Note a black hole is encountered when a sender is unaware that packets
are not being delivered to the destination endpoint. So it includes the
probe failures with equal probe_size to pl.pmtu, and definitely not
include that with greater probe_size than pl.pmtu. The later one is the
normal probe failure where probe_size should decrease back to pl.pmtu
and pl.probe_high is set.  pl.probe_high would be used on HB ACK recv
path in the next patch.

<id>urn:sha1:fe59379b9ab7ddad157f5379fa47dbf84c9b5e09</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch does exactly what rfc8899#section-6.2.1.2 says:

   The SCTP sender needs to be able to determine the total size of a
   probe packet.  The HEARTBEAT chunk could carry a Heartbeat
   Information parameter that includes, besides the information
   suggested in [RFC4960], the probe size to help an implementation
   associate a HEARTBEAT ACK with the size of probe that was sent.  The
   sender could also use other methods, such as sending a nonce and
   verifying the information returned also contains the corresponding
   nonce.  The length of the PAD chunk is computed by reducing the
   probing size by the size of the SCTP common header and the HEARTBEAT
   chunk.

Note that HB ACK chunk will carry back whatever HB chunk carried, including
the probe_size we put it in; We also check hbinfo-&gt;probe_size in the HB ACK
against link-&gt;pl.probe_size to validate this HB ACK chunk.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - Remove the unused 'sp' and add static for sctp_packet_bundle_pad().

<content type='text'>
There are 3 timers described in rfc8899#section-5.1.1:

  PROBE_TIMER, PMTU_RAISE_TIMER, CONFIRMATION_TIMER

This patches adds a 'probe_timer' in transport, and it works as either
PROBE_TIMER or PMTU_RAISE_TIMER. At most time, it works as PROBE_TIMER
and expires every a 'probe_interval' time to send the HB probe packet.
When transport pl enters COMPLETE state, it works as PMTU_RAISE_TIMER
and expires in 'probe_interval * 30' time to go back to SEARCH state
and do searching again.

SCTP HB is an acknowledged packet, CONFIRMATION_TIMER is not needed.

The timer will start when transport pl enters BASE state and stop
when it enters DISABLED state.
