[ Upstream commit 2b7cda9c35d3b940eb9ce74b30bbd5eb30db493d ]

Based on SNMP values provided by Roman, Yuchung made the observation
that some crashes in tcp_sacktag_walk() might be caused by MTU probing.

Looking at tcp_mtu_probe(), I found that when a new skb was placed
in front of the write queue, we were not updating tcp highest sack.

If one skb is freed because all its content was copied to the new skb
(for MTU probing), then tp-&gt;highest_sack could point to a now freed skb.

Bad things would then happen, including infinite loops.

This patch renames tcp_highest_sack_combine() and uses it
from tcp_mtu_probe() to fix the bug.

Note that I also removed one test against tp-&gt;sacked_out,
since we want to replace tp-&gt;highest_sack regardless of whatever
condition, since keeping a stale pointer to freed skb is a recipe
for disaster.

<title>tap: reference to KVA of an unloaded module causes kernel panic</title>

[ Upstream commit dea6e19f4ef746aa18b4c33d1a7fed54356796ed ]

The commit 9a393b5d5988 ("tap: tap as an independent module") created a
separate tap module that implements tap functionality and exports
interfaces that will be used by macvtap and ipvtap modules to create
create respective tap devices.

However, that patch introduced a regression wherein the modules macvtap
and ipvtap can be removed (through modprobe -r) while there are
applications using the respective /dev/tapX devices. These applications
cause kernel to hold reference to /dev/tapX through 'struct cdev
macvtap_cdev' and 'struct cdev ipvtap_dev' defined in macvtap and ipvtap
modules respectively. So,  when the application is later closed the
kernel panics because we are referencing KVA that is present in the
unloaded modules.

----------8&lt;------- Example ----------8&lt;----------
$ sudo ip li add name mv0 link enp7s0 type macvtap
$ sudo ip li show mv0 |grep mv0| awk -e '{print $1 $2}'
  14:mv0@enp7s0:
$ cat /dev/tap14 &amp;
$ lsmod |egrep -i 'tap|vlan'
macvtap                16384  0
macvlan                24576  1 macvtap
tap                    24576  3 macvtap
$ sudo modprobe -r macvtap
$ fg
cat /dev/tap14
^C

&lt;...system panics...&gt;
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa038c500
IP: cdev_put+0xf/0x30
----------8&lt;-----------------8&lt;----------

The fix is to set cdev.owner to the module that creates the tap device
(either macvtap or ipvtap). With this set, the operations (in
fs/char_dev.c) on char device holds and releases the module through
cdev_get() and cdev_put() and will not allow the module to unload
prematurely.

<title>tcp/dccp: fix other lockdep splats accessing ireq_opt</title>

[ Upstream commit 06f877d613be3621604c2520ec0351d9fbdca15f ]

In my first attempt to fix the lockdep splat, I forgot we could
enter inet_csk_route_req() with a freshly allocated request socket,
for which refcount has not yet been elevated, due to complex
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU rules.

We either are in rcu_read_lock() section _or_ we own a refcount on the
request.

Correct RCU verb to use here is rcu_dereference_check(), although it is
not possible to prove we actually own a reference on a shared
refcount :/

In v2, I added ireq_opt_deref() helper and use in three places, to fix other
possible splats.

[ Upstream commit c92e8c02fe664155ac4234516e32544bec0f113d ]

syzkaller found another bug in DCCP/TCP stacks [1]

For the reasons explained in commit ce1050089c96 ("tcp/dccp: fix
ireq-&gt;pktopts race"), we need to make sure we do not access
ireq-&gt;opt unless we own the request sock.

Note the opt field is renamed to ireq_opt to ease grep games.

[ Upstream commit 0ad646c81b2182f7fa67ec0c8c825e0ee165696d ]

register_netdevice() could fail early when we have an invalid
dev name, in which case -&gt;ndo_uninit() is not called. For tun
device, this is a problem because a timer etc. are already
initialized and it expects -&gt;ndo_uninit() to clean them up.

We could move these initializations into a -&gt;ndo_init() so
that register_netdevice() knows better, however this is still
complicated due to the logic in tun_detach().

Therefore, I choose to just call dev_get_valid_name() before
register_netdevice(), which is quicker and much easier to audit.
And for this specific case, it is already enough.

commit 3510c7aa069aa83a2de6dab2b41401a198317bdc upstream.

The recent fix for adding rwsem nesting annotation was using the given
"hop" argument as the lock subclass key.  Although the idea itself
works, it may trigger a kernel warning like:
  BUG: looking up invalid subclass: 8
  ....
since the lockdep has a smaller number of subclasses (8) than we
currently allow for the hops there (10).

The current definition is merely a sanity check for avoiding the too
deep delivery paths, and the 8 hops are already enough.  So, as a
quick fix, just follow the max hops as same as the max lockdep
subclasses.

<title>ALSA: timer: Limit max instances per timer</title>

commit 9b7d869ee5a77ed4a462372bb89af622e705bfb8 upstream.

Currently we allow unlimited number of timer instances, and it may
bring the system hogging way too much CPU when too many timer
instances are opened and processed concurrently.  This may end up with
a soft-lockup report as triggered by syzkaller, especially when
hrtimer backend is deployed.

Since such insane number of instances aren't demanded by the normal
use case of ALSA sequencer and it merely  opens a risk only for abuse,
this patch introduces the upper limit for the number of instances per
timer backend.  As default, it's set to 1000, but for the fine-grained
timer like hrtimer, it's set to 100.

<title>ACPICA: Make it possible to enable runtime GPEs earlier</title>

commit 1312b7e0caca44e7ff312bc2eaa888943384e3e1 upstream.

Runtime GPEs have corresponding _Lxx/_Exx methods and are enabled
automatically during the initialization of the ACPI subsystem through
acpi_update_all_gpes() with the assumption that acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake()
will be called in advance for all of the GPEs pointed to by _PRW
objects in the namespace that may be affected by acpi_update_all_gpes().
That is, acpi_ev_initialize_gpe_block() can only be called for a GPE
block after acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() has been called for all of the
_PRW (wakeup) GPEs in it.

The platform firmware on some systems, however, expects GPEs to be
enabled before the enumeration of devices which is when
acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() is called and that goes against the above
assumption.

For this reason, introduce a new flag to be set by
acpi_ev_initialize_gpe_block() when automatically enabling a GPE
to indicate to acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() that it needs to drop the
reference to the GPE coming from acpi_ev_initialize_gpe_block()
and modify acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() accordingly.  These changes
allow acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() and acpi_ev_initialize_gpe_block()
to be invoked in any order.

<title>netfilter: nat: Revert "netfilter: nat: convert nat bysrc hash to rhashtable"</title>

commit e1bf1687740ce1a3598a1c5e452b852ff2190682 upstream.

This reverts commit 870190a9ec9075205c0fa795a09fa931694a3ff1.

It was not a good idea. The custom hash table was a much better
fit for this purpose.

A fast lookup is not essential, in fact for most cases there is no lookup
at all because original tuple is not taken and can be used as-is.
What needs to be fast is insertion and deletion.

rhlist removal however requires a rhlist walk.
We can have thousands of entries in such a list if source port/addresses
are reused for multiple flows, if this happens removal requests are so
expensive that deletions of a few thousand flows can take several
seconds(!).

The advantages that we got from rhashtable are:
1) table auto-sizing
2) multiple locks

1) would be nice to have, but it is not essential as we have at
most one lookup per new flow, so even a million flows in the bysource
table are not a problem compared to current deletion cost.
2) is easy to add to custom hash table.

I tried to add hlist_node to rhlist to speed up rhltable_remove but this
isn't doable without changing semantics.  rhltable_remove_fast will
check that the to-be-deleted object is part of the table and that
requires a list walk that we want to avoid.

Furthermore, using hlist_node increases size of struct rhlist_head, which
in turn increases nf_conn size.

<title>mm, swap: fix race between swap count continuation operations</title>

commit 2628bd6fc052bd85e9864dae4de494d8a6313391 upstream.

One page may store a set of entries of the sis-&gt;swap_map
(swap_info_struct-&gt;swap_map) in multiple swap clusters.

If some of the entries has sis-&gt;swap_map[offset] &gt; SWAP_MAP_MAX,
multiple pages will be used to store the set of entries of the
sis-&gt;swap_map.  And the pages are linked with page-&gt;lru.  This is called
swap count continuation.  To access the pages which store the set of
entries of the sis-&gt;swap_map simultaneously, previously, sis-&gt;lock is
used.  But to improve the scalability of __swap_duplicate(), swap
cluster lock may be used in swap_count_continued() now.  This may race
with add_swap_count_continuation() which operates on a nearby swap
cluster, in which the sis-&gt;swap_map entries are stored in the same page.

The race can cause wrong swap count in practice, thus cause unfreeable
swap entries or software lockup, etc.

To fix the race, a new spin lock called cont_lock is added to struct
swap_info_struct to protect the swap count continuation page list.  This
is a lock at the swap device level, so the scalability isn't very well.
But it is still much better than the original sis-&gt;lock, because it is
only acquired/released when swap count continuation is used.  Which is
considered rare in practice.  If it turns out that the scalability
becomes an issue for some workloads, we can split the lock into some
more fine grained locks.
