[ Upstream commit 06f877d613be3621604c2520ec0351d9fbdca15f ]
In my first attempt to fix the lockdep splat, I forgot we could
enter inet_csk_route_req() with a freshly allocated request socket,
for which refcount has not yet been elevated, due to complex
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU rules.
We either are in rcu_read_lock() section _or_ we own a refcount on the
request.
Correct RCU verb to use here is rcu_dereference_check(), although it is
not possible to prove we actually own a reference on a shared
refcount :/
In v2, I added ireq_opt_deref() helper and use in three places, to fix other
possible splats.

[ Upstream commit c92e8c02fe664155ac4234516e32544bec0f113d ]
syzkaller found another bug in DCCP/TCP stacks [1]
For the reasons explained in commit ce1050089c96 ("tcp/dccp: fix
ireq->pktopts race"), we need to make sure we do not access
ireq->opt unless we own the request sock.
Note the opt field is renamed to ireq_opt to ease grep games.

[ Upstream commit b7953d3c0e30a5fc944f6b7bd0bcceb0794bcd85 ]
The patch "dccp: fix a memleak that dccp_ipv6 doesn't put reqsk
properly" fixed reqsk refcnt leak for dccp_ipv6. The same issue
exists on dccp_ipv4.
This patch is to fix it for dccp_ipv4.

[ Upstream commit 45caeaa5ac0b4b11784ac6f932c0ad4c6b67cda0 ]
As Eric Dumazet pointed out this also needs to be fixed in IPv6.
v2: Contains the IPv6 tcp/Ipv6 dccp patches as well.
We have seen a few incidents lately where a dst_enty has been freed
with a dangling TCP socket reference (sk->sk_dst_cache) pointing to that
dst_entry. If the conditions/timings are right a crash then ensues when the
freed dst_entry is referenced later on. A Common crashing back trace is:
#8 [] page_fault at ffffffff8163e648
[exception RIP: __tcp_ack_snd_check+74]
.

#25 [] irq_exit at ffffffff81084ee5
#26 [] do_IRQ at ffffffff81648ff8
Of course it may happen with other NIC drivers as well.
It's found the freed dst_entry here:
224 static bool tcp_in_quickack_mode(struct sock *sk)↩
225 {↩
226 ▹ const struct inet_connection_sock *icsk = inet_csk(sk);↩
227 ▹ const struct dst_entry *dst = __sk_dst_get(sk);↩
228 ↩
229 ▹ return (dst && dst_metric(dst, RTAX_QUICKACK)) ||↩
230 ▹ ▹ (icsk->icsk_ack.quick && !icsk->icsk_ack.pingpong);↩
231 }↩
But there are other backtraces attributed to the same freed dst_entry in
netfilter code as well.
All the vmcores showed 2 significant clues:
- Remote hosts behind the default gateway had always been redirected to a
different gateway. A rtable/dst_entry will be added for that host. Making
more dst_entrys with lower reference counts. Making this more probable.
- All vmcores showed a postitive LockDroppedIcmps value, e.g:
LockDroppedIcmps 267
A closer look at the tcp_v4_err() handler revealed that do_redirect() will run
regardless of whether user space has the socket locked. This can result in a
race condition where the same dst_entry cached in sk->sk_dst_entry can be
decremented twice for the same socket via:
do_redirect()->__sk_dst_check()-> dst_release().
Which leads to the dst_entry being prematurely freed with another socket
pointing to it via sk->sk_dst_cache and a subsequent crash.
To fix this skip do_redirect() if usespace has the socket locked. Instead let
the redirect take place later when user space does not have the socket
locked.
The dccp/IPv6 code is very similar in this respect, so fixing it there too.
As Eric Garver pointed out the following commit now invalidates routes. Which
can set the dst->obsolete flag so that ipv4_dst_check() returns null and
triggers the dst_release().

dccp_v4_err() does not use pskb_may_pull() and might access garbage.
We only need 4 bytes at the beginning of the DCCP header, like TCP,
so the 8 bytes pulled in icmp_socket_deliver() are more than enough.
This patch might allow to process more ICMP messages, as some routers
are still limiting the size of reflected bytes to 28 (RFC 792), instead
of extended lengths (RFC 1812 4.3.2.3)

It turns out DCCP calls __sk_receive_skb(), and this broke when
lookups no longer took a reference on listeners.
Fix this issue by adding a @refcounted parameter to __sk_receive_skb(),
so that sock_put() is used only when needed.

Dccp verifies packet integrity, including length, at initial rcv in
dccp_invalid_packet, later pulls headers in dccp_enqueue_skb.
A call to sk_filter in-between can cause __skb_pull to wrap skb->len.
skb_copy_datagram_msg interprets this as a negative value, so
(correctly) fails with EFAULT. The negative length is reported in
ioctl SIOCINQ or possibly in a DCCP_WARN in dccp_close.
Introduce an sk_receive_skb variant that caps how small a filter
program can trim packets, and call this in dccp with the header
length. Excessively trimmed packets are now processed normally and
queued for reception as 0B payloads.

In the prep work I did before enabling BH while handling socket backlog,
I missed two points in DCCP :
1) dccp_v4_ctl_send_reset() uses bh_lock_sock(), assuming BH were
blocked. It is not anymore always true.
2) dccp_v4_route_skb() was using __IP_INC_STATS() instead of
IP_INC_STATS()

When a SYNFLOOD targets a non SO_REUSEPORT listener, multiple
cpus contend on sk->sk_refcnt and sk->sk_wmem_alloc changes.
By letting listeners use SOCK_RCU_FREE infrastructure,
we can relax TCP_LISTEN lookup rules and avoid touching sk_refcnt
Note that we still use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU rules for other sockets,
only listeners are impacted by this change.
Peak performance under SYNFLOOD is increased by ~33% :
On my test machine, I could process 3.2 Mpps instead of 2.4 Mpps
Most consuming functions are now skb_set_owner_w() and sock_wfree()

Multiple cpus can process duplicates of incoming ACK messages
matching a SYN_RECV request socket. This is a rare event under
normal operations, but definitely can happen.
Only one must win the race, otherwise corruption would occur.
To fix this without adding new atomic ops, we use logic in
inet_ehash_nolisten() to detect the request was present in the same
ehash bucket where we try to insert the new child.
If request socket was not found, we have to undo the child creation.
This actually removes a spin_lock()/spin_unlock() pair in
reqsk_queue_unlink() for the fast path.

When a TCP/DCCP listener is closed, its pending SYN_RECV request sockets
become stale, meaning 3WHS can not complete.
But current behavior is wrong :
incoming packets finding such stale sockets are dropped.
We need instead to cleanup the request socket and perform another
lookup :
- Incoming ACK will give a RST answer,
- SYN rtx might find another listener if available.
- We expedite cleanup of request sockets and old listener socket.

In this patch, we insert request sockets into TCP/DCCP
regular ehash table (where ESTABLISHED and TIMEWAIT sockets
are) instead of using the per listener hash table.
ACK packets find SYN_RECV pseudo sockets without having
to find and lock the listener.
In nominal conditions, this halves pressure on listener lock.
Note that this will allow for SO_REUSEPORT refinements,
so that we can select a listener using cpu/numa affinities instead
of the prior 'consistent hash', since only SYN packets will
apply this selection logic.
We will shrink listen_sock in the following patch to ease
code review.

[ 3897.923145] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at

[ 3897.931025] IP: [<ffffffffa9f27686>] reqsk_timer_handler+0x1a6/0x243
There is a race when reqsk_timer_handler() and tcp_check_req() call
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_unlink() on the same req at the same time.
Before commit fa76ce7328b2 ("inet: get rid of central tcp/dccp listener
timer"), listener spinlock was held and race could not happen.
To solve this bug, we change reqsk_queue_unlink() to not assume req
must be found, and we return a status, to conditionally release a
refcount on the request sock.
This also means tcp_check_req() in non fastopen case might or not
consume req refcount, so tcp_v6_hnd_req() & tcp_v4_hnd_req() have
to properly handle this.
(Same remark for dccp_check_req() and its callers)
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() is now too big to be inlined, as it is
called 4 times in tcp and 3 times in dccp.

One of the major issue for TCP is the SYNACK rtx handling,
done by inet_csk_reqsk_queue_prune(), fired by the keepalive
timer of a TCP_LISTEN socket.
This function runs for awful long times, with socket lock held,
meaning that other cpus needing this lock have to spin for hundred of ms.
SYNACK are sent in huge bursts, likely to cause severe drops anyway.
This model was OK 15 years ago when memory was very tight.
We now can afford to have a timer per request sock.
Timer invocations no longer need to lock the listener,
and can be run from all cpus in parallel.
With following patch increasing somaxconn width to 32 bits,
I tested a listener with more than 4 million active request sockets,
and a steady SYNFLOOD of ~200,000 SYN per second.
Host was sending ~830,000 SYNACK per second.
This is ~100 times more what we could achieve before this patch.
Later, we will get rid of the listener hash and use ehash instead.

2) Sockets can be reused quite quickly, so there is
no guarantee a cookie is used once and identify
a flow.
3) request sock, establish sock, and timewait socks
for a given flow have different cookies.
Part of our effort to bring better TCP statistics requires
to switch to a different allocator.
In this patch, I chose to use a per network namespace 64bit generator,
and to use it only in the case a socket needs to be dumped to netlink.
(This might be refined later if needed)
Note that I tried to carry cookies from request sock, to establish sock,
then timewait sockets.

It doesn't seem like an protocols are setting anything other
than the default, and allowing to arbitrarily disable checksums
for a whole protocol seems dangerous. This can be done on a per
socket basis.

This new ip_no_pmtu_disc mode only allowes fragmentation-needed errors
to be honored by protocols which do more stringent validation on the
ICMP's packet payload. This knob is useful for people who e.g. want to
run an unmodified DNS server in a namespace where they need to use pmtu
for TCP connections (as they are used for zone transfers or fallback
for requests) but don't want to use possibly spoofed UDP pmtu information.
Currently the whitelisted protocols are TCP, SCTP and DCCP as they check
if the returned packet is in the window or if the association is valid.

FLOWI_FLAG_CAN_SLEEP was used to notify xfrm about the posibility
to sleep until the needed states are resolved. This code is gone,
so FLOWI_FLAG_CAN_SLEEP is not needed anymore.

Sockets marked with IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE won't do path mtu discovery,
their sockets won't accept and install new path mtu information and they
will always use the interface mtu for outgoing packets. It is guaranteed
that the packet is not fragmented locally. But we won't set the DF-Flag
on the outgoing frames.
Florian Weimer had the idea to use this flag to ensure DNS servers are
never generating outgoing fragments. They may well be fragmented on the
path, but the server never stores or usees path mtu values, which could
well be forged in an attack.
(The root of the problem with path MTU discovery is that there is
no reliable way to authenticate ICMP Fragmentation Needed But DF Set
messages because they are sent from intermediate routers with their
source addresses, and the IMCP payload will not always contain sufficient
information to identify a flow.)
Recent research in the DNS community showed that it is possible to
implement an attack where DNS cache poisoning is feasible by spoofing
fragments. This work was done by Amir Herzberg and Haya Shulman:
<https://sites.google.com/site/hayashulman/files/fragmentation-poisoning.pdf>
This issue was previously discussed among the DNS community, e.g.
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsext/current/msg01204.html>,
without leading to fixes.
This patch depends on the patch "ipv4: fix DO and PROBE pmtu mode
regarding local fragmentation with UFO/CORK" for the enforcement of the
non-fragmentable checks. If other users than ip_append_page/data should
use this semantic too, we have to add a new flag to IPCB(skb)->flags to
suppress local fragmentation and check for this in ip_finish_output.
Many thanks to Florian Weimer for the idea and feedback while implementing
this patch.

TCP listener refactoring, part 5 :
We want to be able to insert request sockets (SYN_RECV) into main
ehash table instead of the per listener hash table to allow RCU
lookups and remove listener lock contention.
This patch includes the needed struct sock_common in front
of struct request_sock
This means there is no more inet6_request_sock IPv6 specific
structure.
Following inet_request_sock fields were renamed as they became
macros to reference fields from struct sock_common.
Prefix ir_ was chosen to avoid name collisions.
loc_port -> ir_loc_port
loc_addr -> ir_loc_addr
rmt_addr -> ir_rmt_addr
rmt_port -> ir_rmt_port
iif -> ir_iif

TCPCT uses option-number 253, reserved for experimental use and should
not be used in production environments.
Further, TCPCT does not fully implement RFC 6013.
As a nice side-effect, removing TCPCT increases TCP's performance for
very short flows:
