951e07c930 [IPV4]: Fix byte value boundary check in do_ip_getsockopt().
This fixes kernel bugzilla 10371.

As reported by M.Piechaczek@osmosys.tv, if we try to grab a
char sized socket option value, as in:

  unsigned char ttl = 255;
  socklen_t     len = sizeof(ttl);
  setsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);

  getsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);

The ttl returned will be wrong on big-endian, and on both little-
endian and big-endian the next three bytes in userspace are written
with garbage.

It's because of this test in do_ip_getsockopt():

	if (len < sizeof(int) && len > 0 && val>=0 && val<255) {

It should allow a 'val' of 255 to pass here, but it doesn't so it
copies a full 'int' back to userspace.

On little-endian that will write the correct value into the location
but it spams on the next three bytes in userspace.  On big endian it
writes the wrong value into the location and spams the next three
bytes.

Without this patch, the generic L3 tracker would kick in

6adb4f733e [TCP]: Don't allow FRTO to take place while MTU is being probed
MTU probe can cause some remedies for FRTO because the normal
packet ordering may be violated allowing FRTO to make a wrong
decision (it might not be that serious threat for anything
though). Thus it's safer to not run FRTO while MTU probe is
underway.

It seems that the basic FRTO variant should also look for an
skb at probe_seq.start to check if that's retransmitted one
but I didn't implement it now (plain seqno in window check
isn't robust against wraparounds).

882bebaaca [TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+L
This fixes Bugzilla #10384

tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking
whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use.

The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather
complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward
cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it
may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs
arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well,
leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next
cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate
ACK will fix the S counter.

More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to
just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but
it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie.,
the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs
had arrived.

So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state
when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out
might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out
overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports
of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel
before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit
1b6d427bb7 ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging
write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

c137f3dda0 [TCP]: Fix NewReno's fast rexmit/recovery problems with GSOed skb
Fixes a long-standing bug which makes NewReno recovery crippled.
With GSO the whole head skb was marked as LOST which is in
violation of NewReno procedure that only wants to mark one packet
and ended up breaking our TCP code by causing counter overflow
because our code was built on top of assumption about valid
NewReno procedure. This manifested as triggering a WARN_ON for
the overflow in a number of places.

It seems relatively safe alternative to just do nothing if
tcp_fragment fails due to oom because another duplicate ACK is
likely to be received soon and the fragmentation will be retried.

Special thanks goes to Soeren Sonnenburg <kernel@nn7.de> who was
lucky enough to be able to reproduce this so that the warning
for the overflow was hit. It's not as easy task as it seems even
if this bug happens quite often because the amount of outstanding
data is pretty significant for the mismarkings to lead to an
overflow.

Because it's very late in 2.6.25-rc cycle (if this even makes in
time), I didn't want to touch anything with SACK enabled here.
Fragmenting might be useful for it as well but it's more or less
a policy decision rather than mandatory fix. Thus there's no need
to rush and we can postpone considering tcp_fragment with SACK
for 2.6.26.

In 2.6.24 and earlier, this very same bug existed but the effect
is slightly different because of a small changes in the if
conditions that fit to the patch's context. With them nothing
got lost marker and thus no retransmissions happened.

af2681828a [ICMP]: Ensure that ICMP relookup maintains status quo
The ICMP relookup path is only meant to modify behaviour when
appropriate IPsec policies are in place and marked as requiring
relookups.  It is certainly not meant to modify behaviour when
IPsec policies don't exist at all.

However, due to an oversight on the error paths existing behaviour
may in fact change should one of the relookup steps fail.

This patch corrects this by redirecting all errors on relookup
failures to the previous code path.  That is, if the initial
xfrm_lookup let the packet pass, we will stand by that decision
should the relookup fail due to an error.

This should be safe from a security point-of-view because compliant
systems must install a default deny policy so the packet would'nt
have passed in that case.

Many thanks to Julian Anastasov for pointing out this error.

732c8bd590 [IPSEC]: Fix BEET output
The IPv6 BEET output function is incorrectly including the inner
header in the payload to be protected.  This causes a crash as
the packet doesn't actually have that many bytes for a second
header.

The IPv4 BEET output on the other hand is broken when it comes
to handling an inner IPv6 header since it always assumes an
inner IPv4 header.

This patch fixes both by making sure that neither BEET output
function touches the inner header at all.  All access is now
done through the protocol-independent cb structure.  Two new
attributes are added to make this work, the IP header length
and the IPv4 option length.  They're filled in by the inner
mode's output function.

Thanks to Joakim Koskela for finding this problem.

69d1506731 [TCP]: Let skbs grow over a page on fast peers
While testing the virtio-net driver on KVM with TSO I noticed
that TSO performance with a 1500 MTU is significantly worse
compared to the performance of non-TSO with a 16436 MTU.  The
packet dump shows that most of the packets sent are smaller
than a page.

Looking at the code this actually is quite obvious as it always
stop extending the packet if it's the first packet yet to be
sent and if it's larger than the MSS.  Since each extension is
bound by the page size, this means that (given a 1500 MTU) we're
very unlikely to construct packets greater than a page, provided
that the receiver and the path is fast enough so that packets can
always be sent immediately.

The fix is also quite obvious.  The push calls inside the loop
is just an optimisation so that we don't end up doing all the
sending at the end of the loop.  Therefore there is no specific
reason why it has to do so at MSS boundaries.  For TSO, the
most natural extension of this optimisation is to do the pushing
once the skb exceeds the TSO size goal.

This is what the patch does and testing with KVM shows that the
TSO performance with a 1500 MTU easily surpasses that of a 16436
MTU and indeed the packet sizes sent are generally larger than
16436.

I don't see any obvious downsides for slower peers or connections,
but it would be prudent to test this extensively to ensure that
those cases don't regress.

607bfbf2d5 [TCP]: Fix shrinking windows with window scaling
When selecting a new window, tcp_select_window() tries not to shrink
the offered window by using the maximum of the remaining offered window
size and the newly calculated window size. The newly calculated window
size is always a multiple of the window scaling factor, the remaining
window size however might not be since it depends on rcv_wup/rcv_nxt.
This means we're effectively shrinking the window when scaling it down.


The dump below shows the problem (scaling factor 2^7):

- Window size of 557 (71296) is advertised, up to 3111907257:

IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . ack 3111835961 win 557 <...>

- New window size of 514 (65792) is advertised, up to 3111907217, 40 bytes
  below the last end:

IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . 3113575668:3113577116(1448) ack 3111841425 win 514 <...>

The number 40 results from downscaling the remaining window:

3111907257 - 3111841425 = 65832
65832 / 2^7 = 514
65832 % 2^7 = 40

If the sender uses up the entire window before it is shrunk, this can have
chaotic effects on the connection. When sending ACKs, tcp_acceptable_seq()
will notice that the window has been shrunk since tcp_wnd_end() is before
tp->snd_nxt, which makes it choose tcp_wnd_end() as sequence number.
This will fail the receivers checks in tcp_sequence() however since it
is before it's tp->rcv_wup, making it respond with a dupack.

If both sides are in this condition, this leads to a constant flood of
ACKs until the connection times out.

Make sure the window is never shrunk by aligning the remaining window to
the window scaling factor.

iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --update --seconds \
         60 --hitcount 20 --name test --rsource -j DROP

While this is unlimited:

         --rsource
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --update --seconds \

   Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and
   'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'.  These DHCP servers ignore Linux
   kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to
   '255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as
   'dhclient' or 'udhcpc').  This leads to a not booting system.

This bug did bite at least one user, who did have to resort to rebooting
the system after an "ifconfig eth0 127.0.0.1" typo.

Deleting the address and adding a new is a less intrusive workaround.
But I still beleive this is a bug that should be fixed.  Some way or
another.

Another possibility would be to remove the scope mangling based on
address.  This will always be incomplete (are 127/8 the only address
space with host scope requirements?)

We set the scope to RT_SCOPE_HOST if an IPv4 interface is configured
with a loopback address (127/8).  The scope is never reset, and will
remain set to RT_SCOPE_HOST after changing the address. This patch
resets the scope if the address is changed again, to restore normal
functionality.

34cc7ba639 [IP_TUNNEL]: Don't limit the number of tunnels with generic name explicitly.
Use the added dev_alloc_name() call to create tunnel device name,
rather than iterate in a hand-made loop with an artificial limit.

Thanks Patrick for noticing this.

[ The way this works is, when the device is actually registered,
  the generic code noticed the '%' in the name and invokes
  dev_alloc_name() to fully resolve the name.  -DaveM ]

e2b58a67b9 [NETFILTER]: {ip,ip6,nfnetlink}_queue: fix SKB_LINEAR_ASSERT when mangling packet data
As reported by Tomas Simonaitis <tomas.simonaitis@gmail.com>,
inserting new data in skbs queued over {ip,ip6,nfnetlink}_queue
triggers a SKB_LINEAR_ASSERT in skb_put().

Going back through the git history, it seems this bug is present since
at least 2.6.12-rc2, probably even since the removal of
skb_linearize() for netfilter.

Linearize non-linear skbs through skb_copy_expand() when enlarging
them.  Tested by Thomas, fixes bugzilla #9933.

9ff5660746 Revert "[NDISC]: Fix race in generic address resolution"
This reverts commit 69cc64d8d9.

It causes recursive locking in IPV6 because unlike other
neighbour layer clients, it even needs neighbour cache
entries to send neighbour soliciation messages :-(

We'll have to find another way to fix this race.

69cc64d8d9 [NDISC]: Fix race in generic address resolution
Frank Blaschka provided the bug report and the initial suggested fix
for this bug.  He also validated this version of this fix.

The problem is that the access to neigh->arp_queue is inconsistent, we
grab references when dropping the lock lock to call
neigh->ops->solicit() but this does not prevent other threads of
control from trying to send out that packet at the same time causing
corruptions because both code paths believe they have exclusive access
to the skb.

The best option seems to be to hold the write lock on neigh->lock
during the ->solicit() call.  I looked at all of the ndisc_ops
implementations and this seems workable.  The only case that needs
special care is the IPV4 ARP implementation of arp_solicit().  It
wants to take neigh->lock as a reader to protect the header entry in
neigh->ha during the emission of the soliciation.  We can simply
remove the read lock calls to take care of that since holding the lock
as a writer at the caller providers a superset of the protection
afforded by the existing read locking.

The rest of the ->solicit() implementations don't care whether the
neigh is locked or not.

e4f8b5d4ed [IPV4]: Remove IP_TOS setting privilege checks.
Various RFCs have all sorts of things to say about the CS field of the
DSCP value.  In particular they try to make the distinction between
values that should be used by "user applications" and things like
routing daemons.

This seems to have influenced the CAP_NET_ADMIN check which exists for
IP_TOS socket option settings, but in fact it has an off-by-one error
so it wasn't allowing CS5 which is meant for "user applications" as
well.

Further adding to the inconsistency and brokenness here, IPV6 does not
validate the DSCP values specified for the IPV6_TCLASS socket option.

The real actual uses of these TOS values are system specific in the
final analysis, and these RFC recommendations are just that, "a
recommendation".  In fact the standards very purposefully use
"SHOULD" and "SHOULD NOT" when describing how these values can be
used.

In the final analysis the only clean way to provide consistency here
is to remove the CAP_NET_ADMIN check.  The alternatives just don't
work out:

1) If we add the CAP_NET_ADMIN check to ipv6, this can break existing
   setups.

2) If we just fix the off-by-one error in the class comparison in
   IPV4, certain DSCP values can be used in IPV6 but not IPV4 by
   default.  So people will just ask for a sysctl asking to
   override that.

I checked several other freely available kernel trees and they
do not make any privilege checks in this area like we do.  For
the BSD stacks, this goes back all the way to Stevens Volume 2
and beyond.

ip_route_me_harder() may call ip_route_input() with skbs that don't
have skb->dev set for skbs rerouted in LOCAL_OUT and TCP resets
generated by the REJECT target, resulting in a crash when dereferencing
skb->dev->nd_net. Since ip_route_input() has an input device argument,
it seems correct to use that one anyway.
