3a20773bee net: netlink: cap max groups which will be considered in netlink_bind()
Since nl_groups is a u32 we can't bind more groups via ->bind
(netlink_bind) call, but netlink has supported more groups via
setsockopt() for a long time and thus nlk->ngroups could be over 32.
Recently I added support for per-vlan notifications and increased the
groups to 33 for NETLINK_ROUTE which exposed an old bug in the
netlink_bind() code causing out-of-bounds access on archs where unsigned
long is 32 bits via test_bit() on a local variable. Fix this by capping the
maximum groups in netlink_bind() to BITS_PER_TYPE(u32), effectively
capping them at 32 which is the minimum of allocated groups and the
maximum groups which can be bound via netlink_bind().

98bda63e20 net: disable BRIDGE_NETFILTER by default
The description says 'If unsure, say N.' but
the module is built as M by default (once
the dependencies are satisfied).

When the module is selected (Y or M), it enables
NETFILTER_FAMILY_BRIDGE and SKB_EXTENSIONS
which alter kernel internal structures.

We (Android Studio Emulator) currently do not
use this module and think this it is more consistent
to have it disabled by default as opposite to
disabling it explicitly to prevent enabling
NETFILTER_FAMILY_BRIDGE and SKB_EXTENSIONS.

16a556eeb7 openvswitch: Distribute switch variables for initialization
Variables declared in a switch statement before any case statements
cannot be automatically initialized with compiler instrumentation (as
they are not part of any execution flow). With GCC's proposed automatic
stack variable initialization feature, this triggers a warning (and they
don't get initialized). Clang's automatic stack variable initialization
(via CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL=y) doesn't throw a warning, but it also
doesn't initialize such variables[1]. Note that these warnings (or silent
skipping) happen before the dead-store elimination optimization phase,
so even when the automatic initializations are later elided in favor of
direct initializations, the warnings remain.

To avoid these problems, move such variables into the "case" where
they're used or lift them up into the main function body.

303d0403b8 udp: rehash on disconnect
As of the below commit, udp sockets bound to a specific address can
coexist with one bound to the any addr for the same port.

The commit also phased out the use of socket hashing based only on
port (hslot), in favor of always hashing on {addr, port} (hslot2).

The change broke the following behavior with disconnect (AF_UNSPEC):

    server binds to 0.0.0.0:1337
    server connects to 127.0.0.1:80
    server disconnects
    client connects to 127.0.0.1:1337
    client sends "hello"
    server reads "hello"	// times out, packet did not find sk

On connect the server acquires a specific source addr suitable for
routing to its destination. On disconnect it reverts to the any addr.

The connect call triggers a rehash to a different hslot2. On
disconnect, add the same to return to the original hslot2.

Skip this step if the socket is going to be unhashed completely.

06f5201c63 net/tls: Fix to avoid gettig invalid tls record
Current code doesn't check if tcp sequence number is starting from (/after)
1st record's start sequnce number. It only checks if seq number is before
1st record's end sequnce number. This problem will always be a possibility
in re-transmit case. If a record which belongs to a requested seq number is
already deleted, tls_get_record will start looking into list and as per the
check it will look if seq number is before the end seq of 1st record, which
will always be true and will return 1st record always, it should in fact
return NULL.
As part of the fix, start looking each record only if the sequence number
lies in the list else return NULL.
There is one more check added, driver look for the start marker record to
handle tcp packets which are before the tls offload start sequence number,
hence return 1st record if the record is tls start marker and seq number is
before the 1st record's starting sequence number.

9a7712048f netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: Don't abuse unlikely() in pipapo_refill()
I originally used unlikely() in the if (match_only) clause, which
we hit on the mapping table for the last field in a set, to ensure
we avoid branching to the rest of for loop body, which is executed
more frequently.

However, Pablo reports, this is confusing as it gives the impression
that this is not a common case, and it's actually not the intended
usage of unlikely().

I couldn't observe any statistical difference in matching rates on
x864_64 and aarch64 without it, so just drop it.

This is harmless (we use bits 1 & 2 instead of 0 and 1), but would
break eventually when adding BIT(5) (or 6, depends on size of 'long').

Just use 0 and 1, the values are only passed to test/set/clear_bit

245709ec8b sctp: move the format error check out of __sctp_sf_do_9_1_abort
When T2 timer is to be stopped, the asoc should also be deleted,
otherwise, there will be no chance to call sctp_association_free
and the asoc could last in memory forever.

However, in sctp_sf_shutdown_sent_abort(), after adding the cmd
SCTP_CMD_TIMER_STOP for T2 timer, it may return error due to the
format error from __sctp_sf_do_9_1_abort() and miss adding
SCTP_CMD_ASSOC_FAILED where the asoc will be deleted.

This patch is to fix it by moving the format error check out of
__sctp_sf_do_9_1_abort(), and do it before adding the cmd
SCTP_CMD_TIMER_STOP for T2 timer.

Thanks Hangbin for reporting this issue by the fuzz testing.

8a9093c798 net: sched: correct flower port blocking
tc flower rules that are based on src or dst port blocking are sometimes
ineffective due to uninitialized stack data. __skb_flow_dissect() extracts
ports from the skb for tc flower to match against. However, the port
dissection is not done when when the FLOW_DIS_IS_FRAGMENT bit is set in
key_control->flags. All callers of __skb_flow_dissect(), zero-out the
key_control field except for fl_classify() as used by the flower
classifier. Thus, the FLOW_DIS_IS_FRAGMENT may be set on entry to
__skb_flow_dissect(), since key_control is allocated on the stack
and may not be initialized.

Since key_basic and key_control are present for all flow keys, let's
make sure they are initialized.

6a757c07e5 netfilter: conntrack: allow insertion of clashing entries
This patch further relaxes the need to drop an skb due to a clash with
an existing conntrack entry.

Current clash resolution handles the case where the clash occurs between
two identical entries (distinct nf_conn objects with same tuples), i.e.:

                    Original                        Reply
existing: 10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53      10.2.3.4:42 <- 10.0.0.6:5353
clashing: 10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53      10.2.3.4:42 <- 10.0.0.6:5353

... existing handling will discard the unconfirmed clashing entry and
makes skb->_nfct point to the existing one.  The skb can then be
processed normally just as if the clash would not have existed in the
first place.

For other clashes, the skb needs to be dropped.
This frequently happens with DNS resolvers that send A and AAAA queries
back-to-back when NAT rules are present that cause packets to get
different DNAT transformations applied, for example:

-m statistics --mode random ... -j DNAT --dnat-to 10.0.0.6:5353
-m statistics --mode random ... -j DNAT --dnat-to 10.0.0.7:5353

In this case the A or AAAA query is dropped which incurs a costly
delay during name resolution.

This patch also allows this collision type:
                       Original                   Reply
existing: 10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53      10.2.3.4:42 <- 10.0.0.6:5353
clashing: 10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53      10.2.3.4:42 <- 10.0.0.7:5353

In this case, clash is in original direction -- the reply direction
is still unique.

The change makes it so that when the 2nd colliding packet is received,
the clashing conntrack is tagged with new IPS_NAT_CLASH_BIT, gets a fixed
1 second timeout and is inserted in the reply direction only.

The entry is hidden from 'conntrack -L', it will time out quickly
and it can be early dropped because it will never progress to the
ASSURED state.

To avoid special-casing the delete code path to special case
the ORIGINAL hlist_nulls node, a new helper, "hlist_nulls_add_fake", is
added so hlist_nulls_del() will work.

Example:

      CPU A:                               CPU B:
1.  10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53 (A)
2.                                         10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53 (AAAA)
3.  Apply DNAT, reply changed to 10.0.0.6
4.                                         10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53 (AAAA)
5.                                         Apply DNAT, reply changed to 10.0.0.7
6. confirm/commit to conntrack table, no collisions
7.                                         commit clashing entry

Reply comes in:

10.2.3.4:42 <- 10.0.0.6:5353 (A)
 -> Finds a conntrack, DNAT is reversed & packet forwarded to 10.2.3.4:42
10.2.3.4:42 <- 10.0.0.7:5353 (AAAA)
 -> Finds a conntrack, DNAT is reversed & packet forwarded to 10.2.3.4:42
    The conntrack entry is deleted from table, as it has the NAT_CLASH
    bit set.

In case of a retransmit from ORIGINAL dir, all further packets will get
the DNAT transformation to 10.0.0.6.

I tried to come up with other solutions but they all have worse
problems.

Alternatives considered were:
1.  Confirm ct entries at allocation time, not in postrouting.
 a. will cause uneccesarry work when the skb that creates the
    conntrack is dropped by ruleset.
 b. in case nat is applied, ct entry would need to be moved in
    the table, which requires another spinlock pair to be taken.
 c. breaks the 'unconfirmed entry is private to cpu' assumption:
    we would need to guard all nfct->ext allocation requests with
    ct->lock spinlock.

2. Make the unconfirmed list a hash table instead of a pcpu list.
   Shares drawback c) of the first alternative.

3. Document this is expected and force users to rearrange their
   ruleset (e.g. by using "-m cluster" instead of "-m statistics").
   nft has the 'jhash' expression which can be used instead of 'numgen'.

   Major drawback: doesn't fix what I consider a bug, not very realistic
   and I believe its reasonable to have the existing rulesets to 'just
   work'.

4. Document this is expected and force users to steer problematic
   packets to the same CPU -- this would serialize the "allocate new
   conntrack entry/nat table evaluation/perform nat/confirm entry", so
   no race can occur.  Similar drawback to 3.

Another advantage of this patch compared to 1) and 2) is that there are
no changes to the hot path; things are handled in the udp tracker and
the clash resolution path.
