[ Upstream commit 9fba1eb39e2f74d2002c5cbcf1d4435d37a4f752 ]

Add READ_ONCE() annotations because np-&gt;rxpmtu can be changed
while udpv6_recvmsg() and rawv6_recvmsg() read it.

Since this is a very rarely used feature, and that udpv6_recvmsg()
and rawv6_recvmsg() read np-&gt;rxopt anyway, change the test order
so that np-&gt;rxpmtu does not need to be in a hot cache line.

[ Upstream commit e8dfd42c17faf183415323db1ef0c977be0d6489 ]

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

 #define dst_rt6_info(_ptr) \
         container_of_const(_ptr, struct rt6_info, dst)

Some places needed missing const qualifiers :

ip6_confirm_neigh(), ipv6_anycast_destination(),
ipv6_unicast_destination(), has_gateway()

v2: added missing parts (David Ahern)

commit b4a11b2033b7d3dfdd46592f7036a775b18cecd1 upstream.

Reproduce environment:
network with 3 VM linuxs is connected as below:
VM1&lt;----&gt;VM2(latest kernel 6.5.0-rc7)&lt;----&gt;VM3
VM1: eth0 ip: 192.168.122.207 MTU 1500
VM2: eth0 ip: 192.168.122.208, eth1 ip: 192.168.123.224 MTU 1500
VM3: eth0 ip: 192.168.123.240 MTU 1500

Reproduce:
VM1 send 1400 bytes UDP data to VM3 using tools scapy with flags=0.
scapy command:
send(IP(dst="192.168.123.240",flags=0)/UDP()/str('0'*1400),count=1,
inter=1.000000)

Result:
Before IP data is sent.

"ForwDatagrams" increase from 4 to 5 and "OutRequests" also increase
from 7 to 8.

Issue description and patch:
IPSTATS_MIB_OUTPKTS("OutRequests") is counted with IPSTATS_MIB_OUTOCTETS
("OutOctets") in ip_finish_output2().
According to RFC 4293, it is "OutOctets" counted with "OutTransmits" but
not "OutRequests". "OutRequests" does not include any datagrams counted
in "ForwDatagrams".
ipSystemStatsOutOctets OBJECT-TYPE
    DESCRIPTION
           "The total number of octets in IP datagrams delivered to the
            lower layers for transmission.  Octets from datagrams
            counted in ipIfStatsOutTransmits MUST be counted here.
ipSystemStatsOutRequests OBJECT-TYPE
    DESCRIPTION
           "The total number of IP datagrams that local IP user-
            protocols (including ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for
            transmission.  Note that this counter does not include any
            datagrams counted in ipSystemStatsOutForwDatagrams.
So do patch to define IPSTATS_MIB_OUTPKTS to "OutTransmits" and add
IPSTATS_MIB_OUTREQUESTS for "OutRequests".
Add IPSTATS_MIB_OUTREQUESTS counter in __ip_local_out() for ipv4 and add
IPSTATS_MIB_OUT counter in ip6_finish_output2() for ipv6.

Test result with patch:
Before IP data is sent.

sk_getsockopt() runs locklessly. This means sk-&gt;sk_priority
can be read while other threads are changing its value.

Other reads also happen without socket lock being held.

<id>urn:sha1:f5f80e32de12fad2813d37270e8364a03e6d3ef0</id>
<content type='text'>
IPv6 inet sockets are supposed to have a "struct ipv6_pinfo"
field at the end of their definition, so that inet6_sk_generic()
can derive from socket size the offset of the "struct ipv6_pinfo".

This is very fragile, and prevents adding bigger alignment
in sockets, because inet6_sk_generic() does not work
if the compiler adds padding after the ipv6_pinfo component.

We are currently working on a patch series to reorganize
TCP structures for better data locality and found issues
similar to the one fixed in commit f5d547676ca0
("tcp: fix tcp_inet6_sk() for 32bit kernels")

Alternative would be to force an alignment on "struct ipv6_pinfo",
greater or equal to __alignof__(any ipv6 sock) to ensure there is
no padding. This does not look great.

v2: fix typo in mptcp_proto_v6_init() (Paolo)
