      tcp: fix ssthresh and undo for consecutive short FRTO episodes · 5344ad02
      Neal Cardwell authored
      [ Upstream commit 0c9ab092 ]
      
      Fix TCP FRTO logic so that it always notices when snd_una advances,
      indicating that any RTO after that point will be a new and distinct
      loss episode.
      
      Previously there was a very specific sequence that could cause FRTO to
      fail to notice a new loss episode had started:
      
      (1) RTO timer fires, enter FRTO and retransmit packet 1 in write queue
      (2) receiver ACKs packet 1
      (3) FRTO sends 2 more packets
      (4) RTO timer fires again (should start a new loss episode)
      
      The problem was in step (3) above, where tcp_process_loss() returned
      early (in the spot marked "Step 2.b"), so that it never got to the
      logic to clear icsk_retransmits. Thus icsk_retransmits stayed
      non-zero. Thus in step (4) tcp_enter_loss() would see the non-zero
      icsk_retransmits, decide that this RTO is not a new episode, and
      decide not to cut ssthresh and remember the current cwnd and ssthresh
      for undo.
      
      There were two main consequences to the bug that we have
      observed. First, ssthresh was not decreased in step (4). Second, when
      there was a series of such FRTO (1-4) sequences that happened to be
      followed by an FRTO undo, we would restore the cwnd and ssthresh from
      before the entire series started (instead of the cwnd and ssthresh
      from before the most recent RTO). This could result in cwnd and
      ssthresh being restored to values much bigger than the proper values.

      tcp: fix tcp_release_cb() to dispatch via address family for mtu_reduced() · 8e2aadd3
      Neal Cardwell authored
      [ Upstream commit 4fab9071 ]
      
      Make sure we use the correct address-family-specific function for
      handling MTU reductions from within tcp_release_cb().
      
      Previously AF_INET6 sockets were incorrectly always using the IPv6
      code path when sometimes they were handling IPv4 traffic and thus had
      an IPv4 dst.

      sit: Fix ipip6_tunnel_lookup device matching criteria · 38268e2e
      Shmulik Ladkani authored
      [ Upstream commit bc8fc7b8 ]
      
      As of 4fddbf5d ("sit: strictly restrict incoming traffic to tunnel link device"),
      when looking up a tunnel, tunnel's underlying interface (t->parms.link)
      is verified to match incoming traffic's ingress device.
      
      However the comparison was incorrectly based on skb->dev->iflink.
      
      Instead, dev->ifindex should be used, which correctly represents the
      interface from which the IP stack hands the ipip6 packets.
      
      This allows setting up sit tunnels bound to vlan interfaces (otherwise
      incoming ipip6 traffic on the vlan interface was dropped due to
      ipip6_tunnel_lookup match failure).

      net: Always untag vlan-tagged traffic on input. · f55ef858
      Vlad Yasevich authored
      [ Upstream commit 0d5501c1 ]
      
      Currently the functionality to untag traffic on input resides
      as part of the vlan module and is build only when VLAN support
      is enabled in the kernel.  When VLAN is disabled, the function
      vlan_untag() turns into a stub and doesn't really untag the
      packets.  This seems to create an interesting interaction
      between VMs supporting checksum offloading and some network drivers.
      
      There are some drivers that do not allow the user to change
      tx-vlan-offload feature of the driver.  These drivers also seem
      to assume that any VLAN-tagged traffic they transmit will
      have the vlan information in the vlan_tci and not in the vlan
      header already in the skb.  When transmitting skbs that already
      have tagged data with partial checksum set, the checksum doesn't
      appear to be updated correctly by the card thus resulting in a
      failure to establish TCP connections.
      
      The following is a packet trace taken on the receiver where a
      sender is a VM with a VLAN configued.  The host VM is running on
      doest not have VLAN support and the outging interface on the
      host is tg3:
      10:12:43.503055 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q
      (0x8100), length 78: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 27243,
      offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60)
          10.0.100.1.58545 > 10.0.100.10.ircu-2: Flags [S], cksum 0xdc39 (incorrect
      -> 0x48d9), seq 1069378582, win 29200, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val
      4294837885 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0
      10:12:44.505556 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q
      (0x8100), length 78: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 27244,
      offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60)
          10.0.100.1.58545 > 10.0.100.10.ircu-2: Flags [S], cksum 0xdc39 (incorrect
      -> 0x44ee), seq 1069378582, win 29200, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val
      4294838888 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0
      
      This connection finally times out.
      
      I've only access to the TG3 hardware in this configuration thus have
      only tested this with TG3 driver.  There are a lot of other drivers
      that do not permit user changes to vlan acceleration features, and
      I don't know if they all suffere from a similar issue.
      
      The patch attempt to fix this another way.  It moves the vlan header
      stipping code out of the vlan module and always builds it into the
      kernel network core.  This way, even if vlan is not supported on
      a virtualizatoin host, the virtual machines running on top of such
      host will still work with VLANs enabled.

      rtnetlink: fix VF info size · 5794d8f0
      Jiri Benc authored
      [ Upstream commit 945a3676 ]
      
      Commit 1d8faf48 ("net/core: Add VF link state control") added new
      attribute to IFLA_VF_INFO group in rtnl_fill_ifinfo but did not adjust size
      of the allocated memory in if_nlmsg_size/rtnl_vfinfo_size. As the result, we
      may trigger warnings in rtnl_getlink and similar functions when many VF
      links are enabled, as the information does not fit into the allocated skb.

      netlink: reset network header before passing to taps · 3298e331
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      [ Upstream commit 4e48ed88 ]
      
      netlink doesn't set any network header offset thus when the skb is
      being passed to tap devices via dev_queue_xmit_nit(), it emits klog
      false positives due to it being unset like:
      
        ...
        [  124.990397] protocol 0000 is buggy, dev nlmon0
        [  124.990411] protocol 0000 is buggy, dev nlmon0
        ...
      
      So just reset the network header before passing to the device; for
      packet sockets that just means nothing will change - mac and net
      offset hold the same value just as before.

      nfs: Don't busy-wait on SIGKILL in __nfs_iocounter_wait · f8af8eeb
      David Jeffery authored
      commit 92a56555 upstream.
      
      If a SIGKILL is sent to a task waiting in __nfs_iocounter_wait,
      it will busy-wait or soft lockup in its while loop.
      nfs_wait_bit_killable won't sleep, and the loop won't exit on
      the error return.
      
      Stop the busy-wait by breaking out of the loop when
      nfs_wait_bit_killable returns an error.
