commit 644fbdeacf1d3edd366e44b8ba214de9d1dd66a9 upstream.

Now sctp uses inet_dgram_connect as its proto_ops .connect, and the flags
param can't be passed into its proto .connect where this flags is really
needed.

sctp works around it by getting flags from socket file in __sctp_connect.
It works for connecting from userspace, as inherently the user sock has
socket file and it passes f_flags as the flags param into the proto_ops
.connect.

However, the sock created by sock_create_kern doesn't have a socket file,
and it passes the flags (like O_NONBLOCK) by using the flags param in
kernel_connect, which calls proto_ops .connect later.

So to fix it, this patch defines a new proto_ops .connect for sctp,
sctp_inet_connect, which calls __sctp_connect() directly with this
flags param. After this, the sctp's proto .connect can be removed.

Note that sctp_inet_connect doesn't need to do some checks that are not
needed for sctp, which makes thing better than with inet_dgram_connect.

commit 159d2c7d8106177bd9a986fd005a311fe0d11285 upstream.

qdisc_root() use from netem_enqueue() triggers a lockdep warning.

__dev_queue_xmit() uses rcu_read_lock_bh() which is
not equivalent to rcu_read_lock() + local_bh_disable_bh as far
as lockdep is concerned.

The bug is that most callers of llc_conn_send_pdu() assume it consumes a
reference to the skb, when actually due to commit b85ab56c3f81 ("llc:
properly handle dev_queue_xmit() return value") it doesn't.

Revert most of that commit, and instead make the few places that need
llc_conn_send_pdu() to *not* consume a reference call skb_get() before.

Fixes: b85ab56c3f81 ("llc: properly handle dev_queue_xmit() return value")

commit 47d3d7fdb10a21c223036b58bd70ffdc24a472c4 upstream.

Since ip6frag_expire_frag_queue() now pulls the head skb
from frag queue, we should no longer use skb_get(), since
this leads to an skb leak.

Stefan Bader initially reported a problem in 4.4.stable [1] caused
by the skb_get(), so this patch should also fix this issue.

commit dbb2483b2a46fbaf833cfb5deb5ed9cace9c7399 upstream.

In commit 6a53b7593233 ("xfrm: check id proto in validate_tmpl()")
I introduced a check for xfrm protocol, but according to Herbert
IPSEC_PROTO_ANY should only be used as a wildcard for lookup, so
it should be removed from validate_tmpl().

And, IPSEC_PROTO_ANY is expected to only match 3 IPSec-specific
protocols, this is why xfrm_state_flush() could still miss
IPPROTO_ROUTING, which leads that those entries are left in
net-&gt;xfrm.state_all before exit net. Fix this by replacing
IPSEC_PROTO_ANY with zero.

This patch also extracts the check from validate_tmpl() to
xfrm_id_proto_valid() and uses it in parse_ipsecrequest().
With this, no other protocols should be added into xfrm.

[ Upstream commit dbf47a2a094edf58983265e323ca4bdcdb58b5ee ]

Action sample doesn't properly handle psample_group pointer in overwrite
case. Following issues need to be fixed:

- In tcf_sample_init() function RCU_INIT_POINTER() is used to set
  s-&gt;psample_group, even though we neither setting the pointer to NULL, nor
  preventing concurrent readers from accessing the pointer in some way.
  Use rcu_swap_protected() instead to safely reset the pointer.

- Old value of s-&gt;psample_group is not released or deallocated in any way,
  which results resource leak. Use psample_group_put() on non-NULL value
  obtained with rcu_swap_protected().

- The function psample_group_put() that released reference to struct
  psample_group pointed by rcu-pointer s-&gt;psample_group doesn't respect rcu
  grace period when deallocating it. Extend struct psample_group with rcu
  head and use kfree_rcu when freeing it.

[ Upstream commit 981471bd3abf4d572097645d765391533aac327d ]

The net pointer in struct xt_tgdtor_param is not explicitly
initialized therefore is still NULL when dereferencing it.
So we have to find a way to pass the correct net pointer to
ipt_destroy_target().

The best way I find is just saving the net pointer inside the per
netns struct tcf_idrinfo, which could make this patch smaller.

tcp_rtx_queue_tail() (called by tcp_fragment()) can call
tcp_write_queue_prev() on the first packet in the queue, which will trigger
the BUG in tcp_write_queue_prev(), because there is no previous packet.

This happens when the retransmit queue is empty, for example in case of a
zero window.

Commit 8c3088f895a0 ("tcp: be more careful in tcp_fragment()") was not a
simple cherry-pick of the original one from master (b617158dc096)
because there is a specific TCP rtx queue only since v4.15. For more
details, please see the commit message of b617158dc096 ("tcp: be more
careful in tcp_fragment()").

The BUG() is hit due to the specific code added to versions older than
v4.15. The comment in skb_queue_prev() (include/linux/skbuff.h:1406),
just before the BUG_ON() somehow suggests to add a check before using
it, what Tim did.

In master, this code path causing the issue will not be taken because
the implementation of tcp_rtx_queue_tail() is different:

    tcp_fragment() → tcp_rtx_queue_tail() → tcp_write_queue_prev() →
skb_queue_prev() → BUG_ON()

<title>xfrm: policy: remove pcpu policy cache</title>

commit e4db5b61c572475bbbcf63e3c8a2606bfccf2c9d upstream.

Kristian Evensen says:
  In a project I am involved in, we are running ipsec (Strongswan) on
  different mt7621-based routers. Each router is configured as an
  initiator and has around ~30 tunnels to different responders (running
  on misc. devices). Before the flow cache was removed (kernel 4.9), we
  got a combined throughput of around 70Mbit/s for all tunnels on one
  router. However, we recently switched to kernel 4.14 (4.14.48), and
  the total throughput is somewhere around 57Mbit/s (best-case). I.e., a
  drop of around 20%. Reverting the flow cache removal restores, as
  expected, performance levels to that of kernel 4.9.

When pcpu xdst exists, it has to be validated first before it can be
used.

A negative hit thus increases cost vs. no-cache.

As number of tunnels increases, hit rate decreases so this pcpu caching
isn't a viable strategy.

Furthermore, the xdst cache also needs to run with BH off, so when
removing this the bh disable/enable pairs can be removed too.

Kristian tested a 4.14.y backport of this change and reported
increased performance:

  In our tests, the throughput reduction has been reduced from around -20%
  to -5%. We also see that the overall throughput is independent of the
  number of tunnels, while before the throughput was reduced as the number
  of tunnels increased.

&gt;Sorry, this is the same issue that was already fixed by "tcp: reset
&gt;sk_send_head in tcp_write_queue_purge".  You can drop my version from
&gt;the queue for 4.4 and 4.9 and revert it for 4.14.
