xfrm: esp: restore combined single-frag length gate

2026-06-09T10:25:55+00:00

commit dfa0d7b0ff1eb6b2c416b8fdb9b4f2cefba57a40 upstream. The ESP out-of-place fast path appends the trailer in esp_output_head() before esp_output_tail() allocates the destination page frag. The head-side gate currently checks skb->data_len and tailen separately, but the tail code allocates a single destination frag from the combined post-trailer skb->data_len. Reject the page-frag fast path when the combined aligned length exceeds a page. Otherwise skb_page_frag_refill() may fall back to a single page while the destination sg still spans the combined skb->data_len. Restore this combined-length page gate for both IPv4 and IPv6.

xfrm: ah: use skb_to_full_sk in async output callbacks

2026-06-09T10:25:55+00:00

commit 79d8be262377f7112cfa3088dfc4142d5a2533f3 upstream. When AH output is offloaded to an asynchronous crypto provider (hardware accelerators such as AMD CCP, or a forced-async software shim used for testing), the digest completion fires ah_output_done() / ah6_output_done() on a workqueue. The egress skb at that point may have been originated by a TCP listener sending a SYN-ACK, which sets skb->sk to a request_sock via skb_set_owner_edemux(); it may also have been originated by an inet_timewait_sock retransmit. Neither is a full struct sock, and passing the raw skb->sk to xfrm_output_resume() then forwards a non-full socket through the rest of the xfrm output chain. xfrm_output_resume() and its downstream consumers expect a full sk where they dereference at all. The natural egress path through ah_output_done() does not crash today because the consumers that read past sock_common are either gated by sk_fullsock() or short-circuit on flags that are clear on a fresh request_sock; an exhaustive walk of the 50 most plausible consumers under sch_fq, dev_queue_xmit, netfilter, tc-egress and cgroup-egress BPF found no current unguarded deref. The bug is still a real type confusion that future consumer changes could turn into a memory-corruption primitive. This is the same bug class fixed for ESP in commit 1620c88887b1 ("xfrm: Fix the usage of skb->sk"). Apply the analogous fix to AH: convert skb->sk to a full socket pointer (or NULL) via skb_to_full_sk() before handing it to xfrm_output_resume(). The same async AH callbacks were touched recently for an independent ESN-related ICV layout bug in commit ec54093e6a8f ("xfrm: ah: account for ESN high bits in async callbacks"); the sk type-confusion addressed here is orthogonal. This patch is part of an ongoing audit of the AH callback paths; an ah_output ihl-validation hardening series is also currently under review on netdev. Reproduced under UML + KASAN + lockdep with a forced-async hmac(sha1) shim that registers at priority 9999 and wraps the sync in-tree hmac-sha1-lib. With the shim loaded, ah_output_done runs on every SYN-ACK egress through a transport-mode AH SA and skb->sk arrives as a request_sock (TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV); after this patch, xfrm_output_resume() receives the listener (the result of sk_to_full_sk()) and consumer derefs land on full-sock fields as intended.

inet: frags: flush pending skbs in fqdir_pre_exit()

2026-06-09T10:25:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 006a5035b495dec008805df249f92c22c89c3d2e ] We have been seeing occasional deadlocks on pernet_ops_rwsem since September in NIPA. The stuck task was usually modprobe (often loading a driver like ipvlan), trying to take the lock as a Writer. lockdep does not track readers for rwsems so the read wasn't obvious from the reports. On closer inspection the Reader holding the lock was conntrack looping forever in nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list(). Based on past experience with occasional NIPA crashes I looked thru the tests which run before the crash and noticed that the crash follows ip_defrag.sh. An immediate red flag. Scouring thru (de)fragmentation queues reveals skbs sitting around, holding conntrack references. The problem is that since conntrack depends on nf_defrag_ipv6, nf_defrag_ipv6 will load first. Since nf_defrag_ipv6 loads first its netns exit hooks run _after_ conntrack's netns exit hook. Flush all fragment queue SKBs during fqdir_pre_exit() to release conntrack references before conntrack cleanup runs. Also flush the queues in timer expiry handlers when they discover fqdir->dead is set, in case packet sneaks in while we're running the pre_exit flush. The commit under Fixes is not exactly the culprit, but I think previously the timer firing would eventually unblock the spinning conntrack.

tunnels: do not assume transport header in iptunnel_pmtud_check_icmp()
