d979a39d72 cgroup: duplicate cgroup reference when cloning sockets
When a socket is cloned, the associated sock_cgroup_data is duplicated
but not its reference on the cgroup.  As a result, the cgroup reference
count will underflow when both sockets are destroyed later on.

24b27fc4cd bonding: Fix bonding crash
Following few steps will crash kernel -

  (a) Create bonding master
      > modprobe bonding miimon=50
  (b) Create macvlan bridge on eth2
      > ip link add link eth2 dev mvl0 address aa:0:0:0:0:01 \
	   type macvlan
  (c) Now try adding eth2 into the bond
      > echo +eth2 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
      <crash>

Bonding does lots of things before checking if the device enslaved is
busy or not.

In this case when the notifier call-chain sends notifications, the
bond_netdev_event() assumes that the rx_handler /rx_handler_data is
registered while the bond_enslave() hasn't progressed far enough to
register rx_handler for the new slave.

This patch adds a rx_handler check that can be performed right at the
beginning of the enslave code to avoid getting into this situation.

952fcfd08c net: remove type_check from dev_get_nest_level()
The idea for type_check in dev_get_nest_level() was to count the number
of nested devices of the same type (currently, only macvlan or vlan
devices).
This prevented the false positive lockdep warning on configurations such
as:

eth0 <--- macvlan0 <--- vlan0 <--- macvlan1

However, this doesn't prevent a warning on a configuration such as:

eth0 <--- macvlan0 <--- vlan0
eth1 <--- vlan1 <--- macvlan1

In this case, all the locks end up with a nesting subclass of 1, so
lockdep thinks that there is still a deadlock:

- in the first case we have (macvlan_netdev_addr_lock_key, 1) and then
  take (vlan_netdev_xmit_lock_key, 1)
- in the second case, we have (vlan_netdev_xmit_lock_key, 1) and then
  take (macvlan_netdev_addr_lock_key, 1)

By removing the linktype check in dev_get_nest_level() and always
incrementing the nesting depth, lockdep considers this configuration
valid.

0ed661d5a4 bpf: fix write helpers with regards to non-linear parts
Fix the bpf_try_make_writable() helper and all call sites we have in BPF,
it's currently defect with regards to skbs when the write_len spans into
non-linear parts, no matter if cloned or not.

There are multiple issues at once. First, using skb_store_bits() is not
correct since even if we have a cloned skb, page frags can still be shared.
To really make them private, we need to pull them in via __pskb_pull_tail()
first, which also gets us a private head via pskb_expand_head() implicitly.

This is for helpers like bpf_skb_store_bytes(), bpf_l3_csum_replace(),
bpf_l4_csum_replace(). Really, the only thing reasonable and working here
is to call skb_ensure_writable() before any write operation. Meaning, via
pskb_may_pull() it makes sure that parts we want to access are pulled in and
if not does so plus unclones the skb implicitly. If our write_len still fits
the headlen and we're cloned and our header of the clone is not writable,
then we need to make a private copy via pskb_expand_head(). skb_store_bits()
is a bit misleading and only safe to store into non-linear data in different
contexts such as 357b40a18b ("[IPV6]: IPV6_CHECKSUM socket option can
corrupt kernel memory").

For above BPF helper functions, it means after fixed bpf_try_make_writable(),
we've pulled in enough, so that we operate always based on skb->data. Thus,
the call to skb_header_pointer() and skb_store_bits() becomes superfluous.
In bpf_skb_store_bytes(), the len check is unnecessary too since it can
only pass in maximum of BPF stack size, so adding offset is guaranteed to
never overflow. Also bpf_l3/4_csum_replace() helpers must test for proper
offset alignment since they use __sum16 pointer for writing resulting csum.

The remaining helpers that change skb data not discussed here yet are
bpf_skb_vlan_push(), bpf_skb_vlan_pop() and bpf_skb_change_proto(). The
vlan helpers internally call either skb_ensure_writable() (pop case) and
skb_cow_head() (push case, for head expansion), respectively. Similarly,
bpf_skb_proto_xlat() takes care to not mangle page frags.

747ea55e4f bpf: fix bpf_skb_in_cgroup helper naming
While hashing out BPF's current_task_under_cgroup helper bits, it came
to discussion that the skb_in_cgroup helper name was suboptimally chosen.

Tejun says:

  So, I think in_cgroup should mean that the object is in that
  particular cgroup while under_cgroup in the subhierarchy of that
  cgroup. Let's rename the other subhierarchy test to under too. I
  think that'd be a lot less confusing going forward.

  [...]

  It's more intuitive and gives us the room to implement the real
  "in" test if ever necessary in the future.

Since this touches uapi bits, we need to change this as long as v4.8
is not yet officially released. Thus, change the helper enum and rename
related bits.

8065694e65 bpf: fix checksum for vlan push/pop helper
When having skbs on ingress with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, tc BPF programs don't
push rcsum of mac header back in and after BPF run back pull out again as
opposed to some other subsystems (ovs, for example).

For cases like q-in-q, meaning when a vlan tag for offloading is already
present and we're about to push another one, then skb_vlan_push() pushes the
inner one into the skb, increasing mac header and skb_postpush_rcsum()'ing
the 4 bytes vlan header diff. Likewise, for the reverse operation in
skb_vlan_pop() for the case where vlan header needs to be pulled out of the
skb, we're decreasing the mac header and skb_postpull_rcsum()'ing the 4 bytes
rcsum of the vlan header that was removed.

However mangling the rcsum here will lead to hw csum failure for BPF case,
since we're pulling or pushing data that was not part of the current rcsum.
Changing tc BPF programs in general to push/pull rcsum around BPF_PROG_RUN()
is also not really an option since current behaviour is ABI by now, but apart
from that would also mean to do quite a bit of useless work in the sense that
usually 12 bytes need to be rcsum pushed/pulled also when we don't need to
touch this vlan related corner case. One way to fix it would be to push the
necessary rcsum fixup down into vlan helpers that are (mostly) slow-path
anyway.

479ffcccef bpf: fix checksum fixups on bpf_skb_store_bytes
bpf_skb_store_bytes() invocations above L2 header need BPF_F_RECOMPUTE_CSUM
flag for updates, so that CHECKSUM_COMPLETE will be fixed up along the way.
Where we ran into an issue with bpf_skb_store_bytes() is when we did a
single-byte update on the IPv6 hoplimit despite using BPF_F_RECOMPUTE_CSUM
flag; simple ping via ICMPv6 triggered a hw csum failure as a result. The
underlying issue has been tracked down to a buffer alignment issue.

Meaning, that csum_partial() computations via skb_postpull_rcsum() and
skb_postpush_rcsum() pair invoked had a wrong result since they operated on
an odd address for the hoplimit, while other computations were done on an
even address. This mix doesn't work as-is with skb_postpull_rcsum(),
skb_postpush_rcsum() pair as it always expects at least half-word alignment
of input buffers, which is normally the case. Thus, instead of these helpers
using csum_sub() and (implicitly) csum_add(), we need to use csum_block_sub(),
csum_block_add(), respectively. For unaligned offsets, they rotate the sum
to align it to a half-word boundary again, otherwise they work the same as
csum_sub() and csum_add().

Adding __skb_postpull_rcsum(), __skb_postpush_rcsum() variants that take the
offset as an input and adapting bpf_skb_store_bytes() to them fixes the hw
csum failures again. The skb_postpull_rcsum(), skb_postpush_rcsum() helpers
use a 0 constant for offset so that the compiler optimizes the offset & 1
test away and generates the same code as with csum_sub()/_add().

a2bfe6bf09 bpf: also call skb_postpush_rcsum on xmit occasions
Follow-up to commit f8ffad69c9 ("bpf: add skb_postpush_rcsum and fix
dev_forward_skb occasions") to fix an issue for dev_queue_xmit() redirect
locations which need CHECKSUM_COMPLETE fixups on ingress.

For the same reasons as described in f8ffad69c9 already, we of course
also need this here, since dev_queue_xmit() on a veth device will let us
end up in the dev_forward_skb() helper again to cross namespaces.

Latter then calls into skb_postpull_rcsum() to pull out L2 header, so
that netif_rx_internal() sees CHECKSUM_COMPLETE as it is expected. That
is, CHECKSUM_COMPLETE on ingress covering L2 _payload_, not L2 headers.

Also here we have to address bpf_redirect() and bpf_clone_redirect().

554828ee0d Merge branch 'salted-string-hash'
This changes the vfs dentry hashing to mix in the parent pointer at the
_beginning_ of the hash, rather than at the end.

That actually improves both the hash and the code generation, because we
can move more of the computation to the "static" part of the dcache
setup, and do less at lookup runtime.

It turns out that a lot of other hash users also really wanted to mix in
a base pointer as a 'salt' for the hash, and so the slightly extended
interface ends up working well for other cases too.

Users that want a string hash that is purely about the string pass in a
'salt' pointer of NULL.

d1c2b5010d net: neigh: disallow transition to NUD_STALE if lladdr is unchanged in neigh_update()
NUD_STALE is used when the caller(e.g. arp_process()) can't guarantee
neighbour reachability. If the entry was NUD_VALID and lladdr is unchanged,
the entry state should not be changed.

Currently the code puts an extra "NUD_CONNECTED" condition. So if old state
was NUD_DELAY or NUD_PROBE (they are NUD_VALID but not NUD_CONNECTED), the
state can be changed to NUD_STALE.

This may cause problem. Because NUD_STALE lladdr doesn't guarantee
reachability, when we send traffic, the state will be changed to
NUD_DELAY. In normal case, if we get no confirmation (by dst_confirm()),
we will change the state to NUD_PROBE and send probe traffic. But now the
state may be reset to NUD_STALE again(e.g. by broadcast ARP packets),
so the probe traffic will not be sent. This situation may happen again and
again, and packets will be sent to an non-reachable lladdr forever.

The fix is to remove the "NUD_CONNECTED" condition. After that the
"NEIGH_UPDATE_F_WEAK_OVERRIDE" condition (used by IPv6) in that branch will
be redundant, so remove it.

This change may increase probe traffic, but it's essential since NUD_STALE
lladdr is unreliable. To ensure correctness, we prefer to resolve lladdr,
when we can't get confirmation, even while remote packets try to set
NUD_STALE state.

aa7145c16d bpf, events: fix offset in skb copy handler
This patch fixes the __output_custom() routine we currently use with
bpf_skb_copy(). I missed that when len is larger than the size of the
current handle, we can issue multiple invocations of copy_func, and
__output_custom() advances destination but also source buffer by the
written amount of bytes. When we have __output_custom(), this is actually
wrong since in that case the source buffer points to a non-linear object,
in our case an skb, which the copy_func helper is supposed to walk.
Therefore, since this is non-linear we thus need to pass the offset into
the helper, so that copy_func can use it for extracting the data from
the source object.

Therefore, adjust the callback signatures properly and pass offset
into the skb_header_pointer() invoked from bpf_skb_copy() callback. The
__DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY_BODY() is adjusted to accommodate for two things:
i) to pass in whether we should advance source buffer or not; this is
a compile-time constant condition, ii) to pass in the offset for
__output_custom(), which we do with help of __VA_ARGS__, so everything
can stay inlined as is currently. Both changes allow for adapting the
__output_* fast-path helpers w/o extra overhead.

555c8a8623 bpf: avoid stack copy and use skb ctx for event output
This work addresses a couple of issues bpf_skb_event_output()
helper currently has: i) We need two copies instead of just a
single one for the skb data when it should be part of a sample.
The data can be non-linear and thus needs to be extracted via
bpf_skb_load_bytes() helper first, and then copied once again
into the ring buffer slot. ii) Since bpf_skb_load_bytes()
currently needs to be used first, the helper needs to see a
constant size on the passed stack buffer to make sure BPF
verifier can do sanity checks on it during verification time.
Thus, just passing skb->len (or any other non-constant value)
wouldn't work, but changing bpf_skb_load_bytes() is also not
the proper solution, since the two copies are generally still
needed. iii) bpf_skb_load_bytes() is just for rather small
buffers like headers, since they need to sit on the limited
BPF stack anyway. Instead of working around in bpf_skb_load_bytes(),
this work improves the bpf_skb_event_output() helper to address
all 3 at once.

We can make use of the passed in skb context that we have in
the helper anyway, and use some of the reserved flag bits as
a length argument. The helper will use the new __output_custom()
facility from perf side with bpf_skb_copy() as callback helper
to walk and extract the data. It will pass the data for setup
to bpf_event_output(), which generates and pushes the raw record
with an additional frag part. The linear data used in the first
frag of the record serves as programmatically defined meta data
passed along with the appended sample.

skb_copy_datagram_msg interprets this as a negative value, so

length. Excessively trimmed packets are now processed normally and

SCM_RIGHTS and SCM_CREDENTIALS are sent on the SOL_SOCKET layer
but they semantically belong to SOL_UNIX. Since all
cmsg-processing functions including sock_cmsg_send ignore control
messages of other layers, it is best to ignore SCM_RIGHTS

audio over TCP).

networking stack. Therefore, after first resolving a neighbour the NUD
state machine will transition it from REACHABLE to STALE until it's
finally deleted by the garbage collector.

To prevent such situations the offloading driver should notify the NUD
state machine on any neighbours that were recently used. The driver's
polling interval should be set so that the NUD state machine can
function as if the traffic wasn't offloaded.

Currently, there are no in-tree drivers that can report confirmation for
a neighbour, but only 'used' indication. Therefore, the polling interval
should be set according to DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME, as a neighbour will
transition from REACHABLE state to DELAY (instead of STALE) if "a packet
was sent within the last DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME seconds" (RFC 4861).

Send a netevent whenever the DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME changes - either via
netlink or sysctl - so that offloading drivers can correctly set their
polling interval.
