While reading sysctl_tstamp_allow_data, it can be changed
concurrently.  Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.

copy_skb_header is renamed to skb_copy_header and
exported. Exposing this function give more flexibility
in copying SKBs.
skb_copy and skb_copy_expand do not give enough control
over which parts are copied.

use consume_skb() instead of kfree_skb() to avoid polluting drop

[ Upstream commit a17ad0961706244dce48ec941f7e476a38c0e727 ]

In some cases skb head could be locked and entire header
data is pulled from skb. When skb_zerocopy() called in such cases,
following BUG is triggered. This patch fixes it by copying entire
skb in such cases.
This could be optimized incase this is performance bottleneck.

commit 097b9146c0e26aabaa6ff3e5ea536a53f5254a79 upstream.

Avoid the assumption that ksize(kmalloc(S)) == ksize(kmalloc(S)): when
cloning an skb, save and restore truesize after pskb_expand_head(). This
can occur if the allocator decides to service an allocation of the same
size differently (e.g. use a different size class, or pass the
allocation on to KFENCE).

Because truesize is used for bookkeeping (such as sk_wmem_queued), a
modified truesize of a cloned skb may result in corrupt bookkeeping and
relevant warnings (such as in sk_stream_kill_queues()).

commit 66c556025d687dbdd0f748c5e1df89c977b6c02a upstream.

Commit 3226b158e67c ("net: avoid 32 x truesize under-estimation for
tiny skbs") ensured that skbs with data size lower than 1025 bytes
will be kmalloc'ed to avoid excessive page cache fragmentation and
memory consumption.
However, the fix adressed only __napi_alloc_skb() (primarily for
virtio_net and napi_get_frags()), but the issue can still be achieved
through __netdev_alloc_skb(), which is still used by several drivers.
Drivers often allocate a tiny skb for headers and place the rest of
the frame to frags (so-called copybreak).
Mirror the condition to __netdev_alloc_skb() to handle this case too.

Since v1 [0]:
 - fix "Fixes:" tag;
 - refine commit message (mention copybreak usecase).

[ Upstream commit 3226b158e67cfaa677fd180152bfb28989cb2fac ]

Both virtio net and napi_get_frags() allocate skbs
with a very small skb-&gt;head

While using page fragments instead of a kmalloc backed skb-&gt;head might give
a small performance improvement in some cases, there is a huge risk of
under estimating memory usage.

For both GOOD_COPY_LEN and GRO_MAX_HEAD, we can fit at least 32 allocations
per page (order-3 page in x86), or even 64 on PowerPC

We have been tracking OOM issues on GKE hosts hitting tcp_mem limits
but consuming far more memory for TCP buffers than instructed in tcp_mem[2]

Even if we force napi_alloc_skb() to only use order-0 pages, the issue
would still be there on arches with PAGE_SIZE &gt;= 32768

This patch makes sure that small skb head are kmalloc backed, so that
other objects in the slab page can be reused instead of being held as long
as skbs are sitting in socket queues.

Note that we might in the future use the sk_buff napi cache,
instead of going through a more expensive __alloc_skb()

Another idea would be to use separate page sizes depending
on the allocated length (to never have more than 4 frags per page)

I would like to thank Greg Thelen for his precious help on this matter,
analysing crash dumps is always a time consuming task.

commit 54970a2fbb673f090b7f02d7f57b10b2e0707155 upstream.

syzbot reproduces BUG_ON in skb_checksum_help():
tun creates (bogus) skb with huge partial-checksummed area and
small ip packet inside. Then ip_rcv trims the skb based on size
of internal ip packet, after that csum offset points beyond of
trimmed skb. Then checksum_tg() called via netfilter hook
triggers BUG_ON:

        offset = skb_checksum_start_offset(skb);
        BUG_ON(offset &gt;= skb_headlen(skb));

To work around the problem this patch forces pskb_trim_rcsum_slow()
to return -EINVAL in described scenario. It allows its callers to
drop such kind of packets.
