Link dumps can return results from a target namespace. If the namespace id is invalid, then the dump request should fail if get_target_net fails rather than continuing with a dump of the current namespace.

This reverts commit 90c7afc9. When the commit was merged, the code used nf_ct_put() to free the entry, but later on commit 76644232 ("openvswitch: Free tmpl with tmpl_free.") replaced that with nf_ct_tmpl_free which is a more appropriate. Now the original problem is removed. Then 44d6e2f2 ("net: Replace NF_CT_ASSERT() with WARN_ON().") replaced a debug assert with a WARN_ON() which is trigged now.

The initial session number when a link is created is based on a random value, taken from struct tipc_net->random. It is then incremented for each link reset to avoid mixing protocol messages from different link sessions. However, when a bearer is reset all its links are deleted, and will later be re-created using the same random value as the first time. This means that if the link never went down between creation and deletion we will still sometimes have two subsequent sessions with the same session number. In virtual environments with potentially long transmission times this has turned out to be a real problem. We now fix this by randomizing the session number each time a link is created. With a session number size of 16 bits this gives a risk of session collision of 1/64k. To reduce this further, we also introduce a sanity check on the very first STATE message arriving at a link. If this has an acknowledge value differing from 0, which is logically impossible, we ignore the message. The final risk for session collision is hence reduced to 1/4G, which should be sufficient.

If "td->u.target_size" is larger than sizeof(struct xt_entry_target) we return -EINVAL. But we don't check whether it's smaller than sizeof(struct xt_entry_target) and that could lead to an out of bounds read.

Steffen Klassert says: ==================== pull request (net): ipsec 2018-10-01 1) Validate address prefix lengths in the xfrm selector, otherwise we may hit undefined behaviour in the address matching functions if the prefix is too big for the given address family. 2) Fix skb leak on local message size errors. From Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo. 3) We currently reset the transport header back to the network header after a transport mode transformation is applied. This leads to an incorrect transport header when multiple transport mode transformations are applied. Reset the transport header only after all transformations are already applied to fix this. From Sowmini Varadhan. 4) We only support one offloaded xfrm, so reset crypto_done after the first transformation in xfrm_input(). Otherwise we may call the wrong input method for subsequent transformations. From Sowmini Varadhan. 5) Fix NULL pointer dereference when skb_dst_force clears the dst_entry. skb_dst_force does not really force a dst refcount anymore, it might clear it instead. xfrm code did not expect this, add a check to not dereference skb_dst() if it was cleared by skb_dst_force. 6) Validate xfrm template mode, otherwise we can get a stack-out-of-bounds read in xfrm_state_find. From Sean Tranchetti. Please pull or let me know if there are problems. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In normal SYN processing, packets are handled without listener lock and in RCU protected ingress path. But syzkaller is known to be able to trick us and SYN packets might be processed in process context, after being queued into socket backlog. In commit 06f877d6 ("tcp/dccp: fix other lockdep splats accessing ireq_opt") I made a very stupid fix, that happened to work mostly because of the regular path being RCU protected. Really the thing protecting ireq->ireq_opt is RCU read lock, and the pseudo request refcnt is not relevant. This patch extends what I did in commit 449809a6 ("tcp/dccp: block BH for SYN processing") by adding an extra rcu_read_{lock|unlock} pair in the paths that might be taken when processing SYN from socket backlog (thus possibly in process context) Fixes: 06f877d6 ("tcp/dccp: fix other lockdep splats accessing ireq_opt") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: syzbot <syzkaller@googlegroups.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In regular NIC transmission flow, driver always configures MAC using Tx queue zero descriptor as a part of MAC learning flow. But with multi Tx queue supported NIC, regular transmission can occur on any non-zero Tx queue and from that context it uses Tx queue zero descriptor to configure MAC, at the same time TX queue zero could be used by another CPU for regular transmission which could lead to Tx queue zero descriptor corruption and cause FW abort. This patch fixes this in such a way that driver always configures learned MAC address from the same Tx queue which is used for regular transmission.

We see the following scenario: 1) Link endpoint B on node 1 discovers that its peer endpoint is gone. Since there is a second working link, failover procedure is started. 2) Link endpoint A on node 1 sends a FAILOVER message to peer endpoint A on node 2. The node item 1->2 goes to state FAILINGOVER. 3) Linke endpoint A/2 receives the failover, and is supposed to take down its parallell link endpoint B/2, while producing a FAILOVER message to send back to A/1. 4) However, B/2 has already been deleted, so no FAILOVER message can created. 5) Node 1->2 remains in state FAILINGOVER forever, refusing to receive any messages that can bring B/1 up again. We are left with a non- redundant link between node 1 and 2. We fix this with letting endpoint A/2 build a dummy FAILOVER message to send to back to A/1, so that the situation can be resolved.

David Howells says: ==================== rxrpc: Fixes Here are some miscellaneous fixes for AF_RXRPC: (1) Remove a duplicate variable initialisation. (2) Fix one of the checks made when we decide to set up a new incoming service call in which a flag is being checked in the wrong field of the packet header. This check is abstracted out into helper functions. (3) Fix RTT gathering. The code has been trying to make use of socket timestamps, but wasn't actually enabling them. The code has also been recording a transmit time for the outgoing packet for which we're going to measure the RTT after sending the message - but we can get the incoming packet before we get to that and record a negative RTT. (4) Fix the emission of BUSY packets (we are emitting ABORTs instead). (5) Improve error checking on incoming packets. (6) Try to fix a bug in new service call handling whereby a BUG we should never be able to reach somehow got triggered. Do this by moving much of the checking as early as possible and not repeating it later (depends on (5) above). (7) Fix the sockopts set on a UDP6 socket to include the ones set on a UDP4 socket so that we receive UDP4 errors and packet-too-large notifications too. (8) Fix the distribution of errors so that we do it at the point of receiving an error in the UDP callback rather than deferring it thereby cutting short any transmissions that would otherwise occur in the window. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== netpoll: second round of fixes. As diagnosed by Song Liu, ndo_poll_controller() can be very dangerous on loaded hosts, since the cpu calling ndo_poll_controller() might steal all NAPI contexts (for all RX/TX queues of the NIC). This capture, showing one ksoftirqd eating all cycles can last for unlimited amount of time, since one cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load. It seems that all networking drivers that do use NAPI for their TX completions, should not provide a ndo_poll_controller() : Most NAPI drivers have netpoll support already handled in core networking stack, since netpoll_poll_dev() uses poll_napi(dev) to iterate through registered NAPI contexts for a device. First patch is a fix in poll_one_napi(). Then following patches take care of ten drivers. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Functions qeth_get_ipa_msg and qeth_get_ipa_cmd_name are modifying the last member of global arrays without any locking that I can see. If two instances of either function are running at the same time, it could cause a race ultimately leading to an array overrun (the contents of the last entry of the array is the only guarantee that the loop will ever stop). Performing the lookups without modifying the arrays is admittedly slower (two comparisons per iteration instead of one) but these are operations which are rare (should only be needed in error cases or when debugging, not during successful operation) and it seems still less costly than introducing a mutex to protect the arrays in question. As a side bonus, it allows us to declare both arrays as const data.
