[ Upstream commit 3365afd3abda5f6a54f4a822dad5c9314e94c3fc ]

The netfilter hook is invoked with skb-&gt;dev for input netdevice, and
vif_dev for output netdevice. However at the point of invocation, skb-&gt;dev
is already set to vif_dev, and MR-forwarded packets are reported with
in=out:

 # ip6tables -A FORWARD -j LOG --log-prefix '[forw]'
 # cd tools/testing/selftests/net/forwarding
 # ./router_multicast.sh
 # dmesg | fgrep '[forw]'
 [ 1670.248245] [forw]IN=v5 OUT=v5 [...]

For reference, IPv4 MR code shows in and out as appropriate.
Fix by caching skb-&gt;dev and using the updated value for output netdev.

Following fields of 'struct mr_mfc' can be updated
concurrently (no lock protection) from ip_mr_forward()
and ip6_mr_forward()

- bytes
- pkt
- wrong_if

They also can be read from other functions.

Convert bytes, pkt and wrong_if to atomic_long_t,
and use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for lastuse.

Instead of (struct rt6_info *)dst casts, we can use :

 #define dst_rt6_info(_ptr) \

[ Upstream commit f1553c9894b4dbeb10a2ab15ab1aa113b3b4047c ]

Several places call ip6mr_get_table() with no RCU nor RTNL lock.
Add RCU protection inside such helper and provide a lockless variant
for the few callers that already acquired the relevant lock.

Note that some users additionally reference the table outside the RCU
lock. That is actually safe as the table deletion can happen only
after all table accesses are completed.

<content type='text'>
commit edf391ff1723 ("snmp: add missing counters for RFC 4293") had
already added OutOctets for RFC 4293. In commit 2d8dbb04c63e ("snmp: fix
OutOctets counter to include forwarded datagrams"), OutOctets was
counted again, but not removed from ip_output().

According to RFC 4293 "3.2.3. IP Statistics Tables",
ipipIfStatsOutTransmits is not equal to ipIfStatsOutForwDatagrams. So
"IPSTATS_MIB_OUTOCTETS must be incremented when incrementing" is not
accurate. And IPSTATS_MIB_OUTOCTETS should be counted after fragment.

This patch reverts commit 2d8dbb04c63e ("snmp: fix OutOctets counter to
include forwarded datagrams") and move IPSTATS_MIB_OUTOCTETS to
ip_finish_output2 for ipv4.

<title>net: ioctl: Use kernel memory on protocol ioctl callbacks</title>
<updated>2023-06-16T05:33:26+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Breno Leitao</name>
<email>leitao@debian.org</email>

<published>2023-06-09T15:27:42+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=e1d001fa5b477c4da46a29be1fcece91db7c7c6f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:e1d001fa5b477c4da46a29be1fcece91db7c7c6f</id>
<content type='text'>
Most of the ioctls to net protocols operates directly on userspace
argument (arg). Usually doing get_user()/put_user() directly in the
ioctl callback.  This is not flexible, because it is hard to reuse these
functions without passing userspace buffers.

Change the "struct proto" ioctls to avoid touching userspace memory and
operate on kernel buffers, i.e., all protocol's ioctl callbacks is
adapted to operate on a kernel memory other than on userspace (so, no
more {put,get}_user() and friends being called in the ioctl callback).

This changes the "struct proto" ioctl format in the following way:

    int                     (*ioctl)(struct sock *sk, int cmd,
-                                        unsigned long arg);
+                                        int *karg);

(Important to say that this patch does not touch the "struct proto_ops"
protocols)

So, the "karg" argument, which is passed to the ioctl callback, is a
pointer allocated to kernel space memory (inside a function wrapper).
This buffer (karg) may contain input argument (copied from userspace in
a prep function) and it might return a value/buffer, which is copied
back to userspace if necessary. There is not one-size-fits-all format
(that is I am using 'may' above), but basically, there are three type of
ioctls:

1) Do not read from userspace, returns a result to userspace
2) Read an input parameter from userspace, and does not return anything
  to userspace
3) Read an input from userspace, and return a buffer to userspace.

The default case (1) (where no input parameter is given, and an "int" is
returned to userspace) encompasses more than 90% of the cases, but there
are two other exceptions. Here is a list of exceptions:

* Protocol RAW:
   * cmd = SIOCGETVIFCNT:
     * input and output = struct sioc_vif_req
   * cmd = SIOCGETSGCNT
     * input and output = struct sioc_sg_req
   * Explanation: for the SIOCGETVIFCNT case, userspace passes the input
     argument, which is struct sioc_vif_req. Then the callback populates
     the struct, which is copied back to userspace.

* Protocol RAW6:
   * cmd = SIOCGETMIFCNT_IN6
     * input and output = struct sioc_mif_req6
   * cmd = SIOCGETSGCNT_IN6
     * input and output = struct sioc_sg_req6

* Protocol PHONET:
  * cmd == SIOCPNADDRESOURCE | SIOCPNDELRESOURCE
     * input int (4 bytes)
  * Nothing is copied back to userspace.

For the exception cases, functions sock_sk_ioctl_inout() will
copy the userspace input, and copy it back to kernel space.

The wrapper that prepare the buffer and put the buffer back to user is
sk_ioctl(), so, instead of calling sk-&gt;sk_prot-&gt;ioctl(), the callee now
calls sk_ioctl(), which will handle all cases.

<id>urn:sha1:292a089d78d3e2f7944e60bb897c977785a321e3</id>
<content type='text'>
Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are
shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added
called "shutdown".  After a timer is set to this state, then it can no
longer be re-armed.

The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where
del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the
object holding the timer is freed.  It also ignores any locations where
the timer-&gt;function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(),
as that is not considered a "trivial" case.

This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following
commands:

    $ cat timer.cocci
    @@
    expression ptr, slab;
    identifier timer, rfield;
    @@
    (
    -       del_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    |
    -       del_timer_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    )
      ... when strict
          when != ptr-&gt;timer
    (
            kfree_rcu(ptr, rfield);
    |
            kmem_cache_free(slab, ptr);
    |
            kfree(ptr);
    )
