fe833fca2e xfrm: fix fragmentation for ipv4 xfrm tunnel
When generating the ip header for the transformed packet we just copy
the frag_off field of the ip header from the original packet to the ip
header of the new generated packet. If we receive a packet as a chain
of fragments, all but the last of the new generated packets have the
IP_MF flag set. We have to mask the frag_off field to only keep the
IP_DF flag from the original packet. This got lost with git commit
36cf9acf93 ("[IPSEC]: Separate
inner/outer mode processing on output")

68b80f1138 netfilter: nf_nat: fix RCU races
Fix three ct_extend/NAT extension related races:

- When cleaning up the extension area and removing it from the bysource hash,
  the nat->ct pointer must not be set to NULL since it may still be used in
  a RCU read side

- When replacing a NAT extension area in the bysource hash, the nat->ct
  pointer must be assigned before performing the replacement

- When reallocating extension storage in ct_extend, the old memory must
  not be freed immediately since it may still be used by a RCU read side

I just noticed "cat /proc/net/raw" was buggy, missing '\n' separators.

I believe this was introduced by commit 8cd850efa4

This trivial patch restores correct behavior, and applies to current

ec0a196626 tcp: Revert 'process defer accept as established' changes.
This reverts two changesets, ec3c0982a2
("[TCP]: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established") and
the follow-on bug fix 9ae27e0adb
("tcp: Fix slab corruption with ipv6 and tcp6fuzz").

This change causes several problems, first reported by Ingo Molnar
as a distcc-over-loopback regression where connections were getting
stuck.

Ilpo Järvinen first spotted the locking problems.  The new function
added by this code, tcp_defer_accept_check(), only has the
child socket locked, yet it is modifying state of the parent
listening socket.

Fixing that is non-trivial at best, because we can't simply just grab
the parent listening socket lock at this point, because it would
create an ABBA deadlock.  The normal ordering is parent listening
socket --> child socket, but this code path would require the
reverse lock ordering.

Next is a problem noticed by Vitaliy Gusev, he noted:

----------------------------------------
>--- a/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>+++ b/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>@@ -481,6 +481,11 @@ static void tcp_keepalive_timer (unsigned long data)
> 		goto death;
> 	}
>
>+	if (tp->defer_tcp_accept.request && sk->sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED) {
>+		tcp_send_active_reset(sk, GFP_ATOMIC);
>+		goto death;

Here socket sk is not attached to listening socket's request queue. tcp_done()
will not call inet_csk_destroy_sock() (and tcp_v4_destroy_sock() which should
release this sk) as socket is not DEAD. Therefore socket sk will be lost for
freeing.
----------------------------------------

Finally, Alexey Kuznetsov argues that there might not even be any
real value or advantage to these new semantics even if we fix all
of the bugs:

----------------------------------------
Hiding from accept() sockets with only out-of-order data only
is the only thing which is impossible with old approach. Is this really
so valuable? My opinion: no, this is nothing but a new loophole
to consume memory without control.
----------------------------------------

So revert this thing for now.

table 510 with table 254 (main).

This patch introduces RT_TABLE_COMPAT=252 so the code uses it if

- Don't trust a length which is greater than the working buffer.
  An invalid length could cause overflow when calculating buffer size
  for decoding oid.

- An oid length of zero is invalid and allows for an off-by-one error when
  decoding oid because the first subid actually encodes first 2 subids.

- A primitive encoding may not have an indefinite length.

293ad60401 tcp: Fix for race due to temporary drop of the socket lock in skb_splice_bits.
skb_splice_bits temporary drops the socket lock while iterating over
the socket queue in order to break a reverse locking condition which
happens with sendfile. This, however, opens a window of opportunity
for tcp_collapse() to aggregate skbs and thus potentially free the
current skb used in skb_splice_bits and tcp_read_sock.

This patch fixes the problem by (re-)getting the same "logical skb"
after the lock has been temporary dropped.

Based on idea and initial patch from Evgeniy Polyakov.

a6604471db tcp: fix skb vs fack_count out-of-sync condition
This bug is able to corrupt fackets_out in very rare cases.
In order for this to cause corruption:
  1) DSACK in the middle of previous SACK block must be generated.
  2) In order to take that particular branch, part or all of the
     DSACKed segment must already be SACKed so that we have that
     in cache in the first place.
  3) The new info must be top enough so that fackets_out will be
     updated on this iteration.
...then fack_count is updated while skb wasn't, then we walk again
that particular segment thus updating fack_count twice for
a single skb and finally that value is assigned to fackets_out
by tcp_sacktag_one.

It is safe to call tcp_sacktag_one just once for a segment (at
DSACK), no need to call again for plain SACK.

Potential problem of the miscount are limited to premature entry
to recovery and to inflated reordering metric (which could even
cancel each other out in the most the luckiest scenarios :-)).
Both are quite insignificant in worst case too and there exists
also code to reset them (fackets_out once sacked_out becomes zero
and reordering metric on RTO).

This has been reported by a number of people, because it occurred
quite rarely, it has been very evasive. Andy Furniss was able to
get it to occur couple of times so that a bit more info was
collected about the problem using a debug patch, though it still
required lot of checking around. Thanks also to others who have
tried to help here.

This is listed as Bugzilla #10346. The bug was introduced by
me in commit 68f8353b48 ([TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & 
sack_recv_cache use), I probably thought back then that there's
need to scan that entry twice or didn't dare to make it go
through it just once there. Going through twice would have
required restoring fack_count after the walk but as noted above,
I chose to drop the additional walk step altogether here.

8aca6cb117 tcp: Fix inconsistency source (CA_Open only when !tcp_left_out(tp))
It is possible that this skip path causes TCP to end up into an
invalid state where ca_state was left to CA_Open while some
segments already came into sacked_out. If next valid ACK doesn't
contain new SACK information TCP fails to enter into
tcp_fastretrans_alert(). Thus at least high_seq is set
incorrectly to a too high seqno because some new data segments
could be sent in between (and also, limited transmit is not
being correctly invoked there). Reordering in both directions
can easily cause this situation to occur.

I guess we would want to use tcp_moderate_cwnd(tp) there as well
as it may be possible to use this to trigger oversized burst to
network by sending an old ACK with huge amount of SACK info, but
I'm a bit unsure about its effects (mainly to FlightSize), so to
be on the safe side I just currently fixed it minimally to keep
TCP's state consistent (obviously, such nasty ACKs have been
possible this far). Though it seems that FlightSize is already
underestimated by some amount, so probably on the long term we
might want to trigger recovery there too, if appropriate, to make
FlightSize calculation to resemble reality at the time when the
losses where discovered (but such change scares me too much now
and requires some more thinking anyway how to do that as it
likely involves some code shuffling).

This bug was found by Brian Vowell while running my TCP debug
patch to find cause of another TCP issue (fackets_out
miscount).

7d227cd235 tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayed
We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.

I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.

In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds 
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the 
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.

So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

1ac06e0306 ipsec: Use the correct ip_local_out function
Because the IPsec output function xfrm_output_resume does its
own dst_output call it should always call __ip_local_output
instead of ip_local_output as the latter may invoke dst_output
directly.  Otherwise the return values from nf_hook and dst_output
may clash as they both use the value 1 but for different purposes.

When that clash occurs this can cause a packet to be used after
it has been freed which usually leads to a crash.  Because the
offending value is only returned from dst_output with qdiscs
such as HTB, this bug is normally not visible.

down.

79d44516b4 tcp FRTO: work-around inorder receivers
If receiver consumes segments successfully only in-order, FRTO
fallback to conventional recovery produces RTO loop because
FRTO's forward transmissions will always get dropped and need to
be resent, yet by default they're not marked as lost (which are
the only segments we will retransmit in CA_Loss).

Price to pay about this is occassionally unnecessarily
retransmitting the forward transmission(s). SACK blocks help
a bit to avoid this, so it's mainly a concern for NewReno case
though SACK is not fully immune either.

This change has a side-effect of fixing SACKFRTO problem where
it didn't have snd_nxt of the RTO time available anymore when
fallback become necessary (this problem would have only occured
when RTO would occur for two or more segments and ECE arrives
in step 3; no need to figure out how to fix that unless the
TODO item of selective behavior is considered in future).

3. undo_marker change allowed tcp_packet_delayed to return
   true because of the cleared retrans_stamp once FRTO is
   terminated causing LossUndo to occur, which means all loss
   markings FRTO made are reverted.

This means that the conventional recovery basically recovered
one loss per RTT, which is not that efficient. It was quite
unobvious that the undo_marker change broken something like
this, I had a quite long session to track it down because of
the non-intuitiviness of the bug (luckily I had a trivial
reproducer at hand and I was also able to learn to use kprobes
in the process as well :-)).

This together with the NewReno+FRTO fix and FRTO in-order
workaround this fixes Damon's problems, this and the first
mentioned are enough to fix Bugzilla #10063.

62ab222783 tcp FRTO: SACK variant is errorneously used with NewReno
Note: there's actually another bug in FRTO's SACK variant, which
is the causing failure in NewReno case because of the error
that's fixed here. I'll fix the SACK case separately (it's
a separate bug really, though related, but in order to fix that
I need to audit tp->snd_nxt usage a bit).

There were two places where SACK variant of FRTO is getting
incorrectly used even if SACK wasn't negotiated by the TCP flow.
This leads to incorrect setting of frto_highmark with NewReno
if a previous recovery was interrupted by another RTO.

An eventual fallback to conventional recovery then incorrectly
considers one or couple of segments as forward transmissions
though they weren't, which then are not LOST marked during
fallback making them "non-retransmittable" until the next RTO.
In a bad case, those segments are really lost and are the only
one left in the window. Thus TCP needs another RTO to continue.
The next FRTO, however, could again repeat the same events
making the progress of the TCP flow extremely slow.

In order for these events to occur at all, FRTO must occur
again in FRTOs step 3 while the key segments must be lost as
well, which is not too likely in practice. It seems to most
frequently with some small devices such as network printers
that *seem* to accept TCP segments only in-order. In cases
were key segments weren't lost, things get automatically
resolved because those wrongly marked segments don't need to be
retransmitted in order to continue.

I found a reproducer after digging up relevant reports (few
reports in total, none at netdev or lkml I know of), some
cases seemed to indicate middlebox issues which seems now
to be a false assumption some people had made. Bugzilla
#10063 _might_ be related. Damon L. Chesser <damon@damtek.com>
had a reproducable case and was kind enough to tcpdump it
for me. With the tcpdump log it was quite trivial to figure
out.

There is an overflow bug in net/ipv4/tcp_vegas.c for large BDPs
(e.g. 400Mbit/s, 400ms).  The multiplication (old_wnd *
vegas->baseRTT) << V_PARAM_SHIFT overflows a u32.

be9164e769 [IPv4] UFO: prevent generation of chained skb destined to UFO device
Problem: ip_append_data() could wrongly generate a chained skb for
devices which support UFO.  When sk_write_queue is not empty
(e.g. MSG_MORE), __instead__ of appending data into the next nr_frag
of the queued skb, a new chained skb is created.

I would normally assume UFO device should get data in nr_frags and not
in frag_list.  Later the udp4_hwcsum_outgoing() resets csum to NONE
and skb_gso_segment() has oops.

Proposal:
1. Even length is less than mtu, employ ip_ufo_append_data()
and append data to the __existed__ skb in the sk_write_queue.

2. ip_ufo_append_data() is fixed due to a wrong manipulation of
peek-ing and later enqueue-ing of the same skb.  Now, enqueuing is
always performed, because on error the further
ip_flush_pending_frames() would release the queued skb.
