Recent commit 8da645e101
sctp: Get rid of an extra routing lookup when adding a transport
introduced a regression in the connection setup. The behavior was
different between IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 case ended up working because the
route lookup routing returned a NULL route, which triggered another
route lookup later in the output patch that succeeded. In the IPv6 case,
a valid route was returned for first call, but we could not find a valid
source address at the time since the source addresses were not set on the
association yet. Thus resulted in a hung connection.
The solution is to set the source addresses on the association prior to
adding peers.

RFC 2003 requires the outer header to have DF set if DF is set
on the inner header, even when PMTU discovery is off for the
tunnel. Our implementation does exactly that.
For this to work properly the IPIP gateway also needs to engate
in PMTU when the inner DF bit is set. As otherwise the original
host would not be able to carry out its PMTU successfully since
part of the path is only visible to the gateway.
Unfortunately when the tunnel PMTU discovery setting is off, we
do not collect the necessary soft state, resulting in blackholes
when the original host tries to perform PMTU discovery.
This problem is not reproducible on the IPIP gateway itself as
the inner packet usually has skb->local_df set. This is not
correctly cleared (an unrelated bug) when the packet passes
through the tunnel, which allows fragmentation to occur. For
hosts behind the IPIP gateway it is readily visible with a simple
ping.
This patch fixes the problem by performing PMTU discovery for
all packets with the inner DF bit set, regardless of the PMTU
discovery setting on the tunnel itself.

Vitezslav Samel discovered that since 2.6.30.4+ active FTP can not work
over NAT. The "cause" of the problem was a fix of unacknowledged data
detection with NAT (commit a3a9f79e36).
However, actually, that fix uncovered a long standing bug in TCP conntrack:
when NAT was enabled, we simply updated the max of the right edge of
the segments we have seen (td_end), by the offset NAT produced with
changing IP/port in the data. However, we did not update the other parameter
(td_maxend) which is affected by the NAT offset. Thus that could drift
away from the correct value and thus resulted breaking active FTP.
The patch below fixes the issue by *not* updating the conntrack parameters
from NAT, but instead taking into account the NAT offsets in conntrack in a
consistent way. (Updating from NAT would be more harder and expensive because
it'd need to re-calculate parameters we already calculated in conntrack.)

Augment raw_send_hdrinc to correct for incorrect ip header length values
A series of oopses was reported to me recently. Apparently when using AF_RAW
sockets to send data to peers that were reachable via ipsec encapsulation,
people could panic or BUG halt their systems.
I've tracked the problem down to user space sending an invalid ip header over an
AF_RAW socket with IP_HDRINCL set to 1.
Basically what happens is that userspace sends down an ip frame that includes
only the header (no data), but sets the ip header ihl value to a large number,
one that is larger than the total amount of data passed to the sendmsg call. In
raw_send_hdrincl, we allocate an skb based on the size of the data in the msghdr
that was passed in, but assume the data is all valid. Later during ipsec
encapsulation, xfrm4_tranport_output moves the entire frame back in the skbuff
to provide headroom for the ipsec headers. During this operation, the
skb->transport_header is repointed to a spot computed by
skb->network_header + the ip header length (ihl). Since so little data was
passed in relative to the value of ihl provided by the raw socket, we point
transport header to an unknown location, resulting in various crashes.
This fix for this is pretty straightforward, simply validate the value of of
iph->ihl when sending over a raw socket. If (iph->ihl*4U) > user data buffer
size, drop the frame and return -EINVAL. I just confirmed this fixes the
reported crashes.

A small typo in the ethernet address comparison statement caused a

other case of joining a ibss cell without providing a static bssid where
the value of ifibss->bssid is not set before the cell is joined.

Willy Tarreau and many other folks in recent years
were concerned what happens when the TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period
expires for clients which sent ACK packet. They prefer clients
that actively resend ACK on our SYN-ACK retransmissions to be
converted from open requests to sockets and queued to the
listener for accepting after the deferring period is finished.
Then application server can decide to wait longer for data
or to properly terminate the connection with FIN if read()
returns EAGAIN which is an indication for accepting after
the deferring period. This change still can have side effects
for applications that expect always to see data on the accepted
socket. Others can be prepared to work in both modes (with or
without TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period) and their data processing can
ignore the read=EAGAIN notification and to allocate resources for
clients which proved to have no data to send during the deferring
period. OTOH, servers that use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT=1 as flag (not
as a timeout) to wait for data will notice clients that didn't
send data for 3 seconds but that still resend ACKs.

Eric Dumazet for the review and testing the change.

I found a deadlock bug in UNIX domain socket, which makes able to DoS
attack against the local machine by non-root users.
How to reproduce:
1. Make a listening AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM socket with an abstruct
namespace(*), and shutdown(2) it.
2. Repeat connect(2)ing to the listening socket from the other sockets
until the connection backlog is full-filled.
3. connect(2) takes the CPU forever. If every core is taken, the
system hangs.
PoC code: (Run as many times as cores on SMP machines.)
int main(void)
{
int ret;
int csd;
int lsd;
struct sockaddr_un sun;
/* make an abstruct name address (*) */
memset(&sun, 0, sizeof(sun));
sun.sun_family = PF_UNIX;
sprintf(&sun.sun_path[1], "%d", getpid());
/* create the listening socket and shutdown */
lsd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
bind(lsd, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun));
listen(lsd, 1);
shutdown(lsd, SHUT_RDWR);
/* connect loop */
alarm(15); /* forcely exit the loop after 15 sec */
for (;;) {
csd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
ret = connect(csd, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun));
if (-1 == ret) {
perror("connect()");
break;
}
puts("Connection OK");
}
return 0;
}
(*) Make sun_path[0] = 0 to use the abstruct namespace.
If a file-based socket is used, the system doesn't deadlock because
of context switches in the file system layer.
Why this happens:
Error checks between unix_socket_connect() and unix_wait_for_peer() are
inconsistent. The former calls the latter to wait until the backlog is
processed. Despite the latter returns without doing anything when the
socket is shutdown, the former doesn't check the shutdown state and
just retries calling the latter forever.
Patch:
The patch below adds shutdown check into unix_socket_connect(), so
connect(2) to the shutdown socket will return -ECONREFUSED.

I was trying to use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT and noticed that if the
client does not talk, the connection is never accepted and
remains in SYN_RECV state until the retransmits expire, where
it finally is deleted. This is bad when some firewall such as
netfilter sits between the client and the server because the
firewall sees the connection in ESTABLISHED state while the
server will finally silently drop it without sending an RST.
This behaviour contradicts the man page which says it should
wait only for some time :
TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT (since Linux 2.4)
Allows a listener to be awakened only when data arrives
on the socket. Takes an integer value (seconds), this
can bound the maximum number of attempts TCP will
make to complete the connection. This option should not
be used in code intended to be portable.
Also, looking at ipv4/tcp.c, a retransmit counter is correctly
computed :
case TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT:
icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept = 0;
if (val > 0) {
/* Translate value in seconds to number of
* retransmits */
while (icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept < 32 &&
val > ((TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT / HZ) <<
icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept))
icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
}
break;
==> rskq_defer_accept is used as a counter of retransmits.
But in tcp_minisocks.c, this counter is only checked. And in
fact, I have found no location which updates it. So I think
that what was intended was to decrease it in tcp_minisocks
whenever it is checked, which the trivial patch below does.

done in software, there's no problem as both run from the
single-threaded mac80211 workqueue and are thus serialised
against each other, but with hardware scan the completion
can be in a different context and race against callers of
this function from the workqueue (e.g. due to beacon RX).
So instead of calling ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() directly,
just arm the timer and have it fire, scheduling the work,
which will invoke ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() (if that is
