[ Upstream commit 8e2760eaab778494fc1fa257031e0e1799647f46 ]

This commit was originally adding the ability to add MPTCP endpoints
with ID 0 by accident. The in-kernel PM, handling MPTCP endpoints at the
net namespace level, is not supposed to handle endpoints with such ID,
because this ID 0 is reserved to the initial subflow, as mentioned in
the MPTCPv1 protocol [1], a per-connection setting.

Note that 'ip mptcp endpoint add id 0' stops early with an error, but
other tools might still request the in-kernel PM to create MPTCP
endpoints with this restricted ID 0.

In other words, it was wrong to call the mptcp_pm_has_addr_attr_id
helper to check whether the address ID attribute is set: if it was set
to 0, a new MPTCP endpoint would be created with ID 0, which is not
expected, and might cause various issues later.

<id>urn:sha1:fb1f54b7d16f393b8b65d328410f78b4beea8fcc</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 9b55b253907e7431210483519c5ad711a37dafa1 upstream.

The ehash table lookups are lockless and rely on
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU to guarantee socket memory stability
during RCU read-side critical sections. Both tcp_prot and
tcpv6_prot have their slab caches created with this flag
via proto_register().

However, MPTCP's mptcp_subflow_init() copies tcpv6_prot into
tcpv6_prot_override during inet_init() (fs_initcall, level 5),
before inet6_init() (module_init/device_initcall, level 6) has
called proto_register(&amp;tcpv6_prot). At that point,
tcpv6_prot.slab is still NULL, so tcpv6_prot_override.slab
remains NULL permanently.

This causes MPTCP v6 subflow child sockets to be allocated via
kmalloc (falling into kmalloc-4k) instead of the TCPv6 slab
cache. The kmalloc-4k cache lacks SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, so
when these sockets are freed without SOCK_RCU_FREE (which is
cleared for child sockets by design), the memory can be
immediately reused. Concurrent ehash lookups under
rcu_read_lock can then access freed memory, triggering a
slab-use-after-free in __inet_lookup_established.

Fix this by splitting the IPv6-specific initialization out of
mptcp_subflow_init() into a new mptcp_subflow_v6_init(), called
from mptcp_proto_v6_init() before protocol registration. This
ensures tcpv6_prot_override.slab correctly inherits the
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU slab cache.

commit 7ab4a7c5d969642782b8a5b608da0dd02aa9f229 upstream.

In mptcp_pm_nl_create_listen_socket(), use entry-&gt;addr.family
instead of sk-&gt;sk_family for lock class setup. The 'sk' parameter
is a netlink socket, not the MPTCP subflow socket being created.

   &lt;/TASK&gt;

The actions that caused that seem to be:

 - Create an MPTCP endpoint for address A without any flags
 - Create a new MPTCP connection from address A
 - Remove the MPTCP endpoint: the corresponding subflows will be removed
 - Recreate the endpoint with the same ID, but with the subflow flag
 - Change the same endpoint to add the fullmesh flag

In this case, msk-&gt;pm.local_addr_used has been kept to 0 as expected,
but the corresponding bit in msk-&gt;pm.id_avail_bitmap was still unset
after having removed the endpoint, causing the splat later on.

When removing an endpoint, the corresponding endpoint ID was only marked
as available for "signal" types with an announced address, plus all
"subflow" types, but not the other types like an endpoint corresponding
to the initial subflow. In these cases, re-creating an endpoint with the
same ID didn't signal/create anything. Here, adding the fullmesh flag
was creating the splat when calling __mark_subflow_endp_available() from
mptcp_pm_nl_fullmesh(), because msk-&gt;pm.local_addr_used was set to 0
while the ID was marked as used.

To fix this issue, the corresponding bit in msk-&gt;pm.id_avail_bitmap can
always be set as available when removing an MPTCP in-kernel endpoint. In
other words, moving the call to __set_bit() to do it in all cases,
except for "subflow" types where this bit is handled in a dedicated
helper.

Note: instead of adding a new spin_(un)lock_bh that would be taken in
all cases, do all the actions requiring the spin lock under the same
block.

This modification potentially fixes another issue reported by syzbot,
see [1]. But without a reproducer or more details about what exactly
happened before, it is hard to confirm.

   &lt;/TASK&gt;

The actions that caused that seem to be:

 - Set the MPTCP subflows limit to 0
 - Create an MPTCP endpoint with both the 'signal' and 'subflow' flags
 - Create a new MPTCP connection from a different address: an ADD_ADDR
   linked to the MPTCP endpoint will be sent ('signal' flag), but no
   subflows is initiated ('subflow' flag)
 - Remove the MPTCP endpoint

In this case, msk-&gt;pm.local_addr_used has been kept to 0 -- because no
subflows have been created -- but the corresponding bit in
msk-&gt;pm.id_avail_bitmap has been cleared when the ADD_ADDR has been
sent. This later causes a splat when removing the MPTCP endpoint because
msk-&gt;pm.local_addr_used has been kept to 0.

Now, if an endpoint has both the signal and subflow flags, but it is not
possible to create subflows because of the limits or the c-flag case,
then the local endpoint counter is still incremented: the endpoint is
used at the end. This avoids issues later when removing the endpoint and
calling __mark_subflow_endp_available(), which expects
msk-&gt;pm.local_addr_used to have been previously incremented if the
endpoint was marked as used according to msk-&gt;pm.id_avail_bitmap.

Note that signal_and_subflow variable is reset to false when the limits
and the c-flag case allows subflows creation. Also, local_addr_used is
only incremented for non ID0 subflows.

[ Upstream commit fb8d0bccb221080630efcd9660c9f9349e53cc9e ]

RM_ADDR are sent over an active subflow, the first one in the subflows
list. There is then a high chance the initial subflow is picked. With
the in-kernel PM, when an endpoint is removed, a RM_ADDR is sent, then
linked subflows are closed. This is done for each active MPTCP
connection.

MPTCP endpoints are likely removed because the attached network is no
longer available or usable. In this case, it is better to avoid sending
this RM_ADDR over the subflow that is going to be removed, but prefer
sending it over another active and non stale subflow, if any.

This modification avoids situations where the other end is not notified
when a subflow is no longer usable: typically when the endpoint linked
to the initial subflow is removed, especially on the server side.

commit e2a9eeb69f7d4ca4cf4c70463af77664fdb6ab1d upstream.

syzbot and Eulgyu Kim reported crashes in mptcp_pm_nl_get_local_id()
and/or mptcp_pm_nl_is_backup()

Root cause is list_splice_init() in mptcp_pm_nl_flush_addrs_doit()
which is not RCU ready.

list_splice_init_rcu() can not be called here while holding pernet-&gt;lock
spinlock.

Many thanks to Eulgyu Kim for providing a repro and testing our patches.

commit 86730ac255b0497a272704de9a1df559f5d6602e upstream.

After the blamed commit below, if the MPC subflow is already in TCP_CLOSE
status or has fallback to TCP at mptcp_disconnect() time,
mptcp_do_fastclose() skips setting the `send_fastclose flag` and the later
__mptcp_close_ssk() does not reset anymore the related subflow context.

Any later connection will be created with both the `request_mptcp` flag
and the msk-level fallback status off (it is unconditionally cleared at
MPTCP disconnect time), leading to a warning in subflow_data_ready():

commit 2ea6190f42d0416a4310e60a7fcb0b49fcbbd4fb upstream.

The MPTCP protocol usually schedule the retransmission timer only
when there is some chances for such retransmissions to happen.

With a notable exception: __mptcp_push_pending() currently schedule
such timer unconditionally, potentially leading to unnecessary rtx
timer expiration.

The issue is present since the blamed commit below but become easily
reproducible after commit 27b0e701d387 ("mptcp: drop bogus optimization
in __mptcp_check_push()")

[ Upstream commit 280d654324e33f8e6e3641f76764694c7b64c5db ]

In case of subflow disconnect(), which can also happen with the first
subflow in case of errors like timeout or reset, mptcp_subflow_ctx_reset
will reset most fields from the mptcp_subflow_context structure,
including close_event_done. Then, when another subflow is closed, yet
another SUB_CLOSED event for the disconnected initial subflow is sent.
Because of the previous reset, there are no source address and
destination port.

A solution is then to also check the subflow's local id: it shouldn't be
negative anyway.

Another solution would be not to reset subflow-&gt;close_event_done at
disconnect time, but when reused. But then, probably the whole reset
could be done when being reused. Let's not change this logic, similar
to TCP with tcp_disconnect().
