d543907a47 ipv4: lock mtu in fnhe when received PMTU < net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu
[ Upstream commit d52e5a7e7c ]

Prior to the rework of PMTU information storage in commit
2c8cec5c10 ("ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer."),
when a PMTU event advertising a PMTU smaller than
net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu was received, we would disable setting the DF
flag on packets by locking the MTU metric, and set the PMTU to
net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu.

Since then, we don't disable DF, and set PMTU to
net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu, so the intermediate router that has this link
with a small MTU will have to drop the packets.

This patch reestablishes pre-2.6.39 behavior by splitting
rtable->rt_pmtu into a bitfield with rt_mtu_locked and rt_pmtu.
rt_mtu_locked indicates that we shouldn't set the DF bit on that path,
and is checked in ip_dont_fragment().

One possible workaround is to set net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu to a value low
enough to accommodate the lowest MTU encountered.

Fixes: 2c8cec5c10 ("ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer.")

Lorenzo Colitti
5044292c36 UPSTREAM: net: inet: Support UID-based routing in IP protocols.
- Use the UID in routing lookups made by protocol connect() and
  sendmsg() functions.
- Make sure that routing lookups triggered by incoming packets
  (e.g., Path MTU discovery) take the UID of the socket into
  account.
- For packets not associated with a userspace socket, (e.g., ping
  replies) use UID 0 inside the user namespace corresponding to
  the network namespace the socket belongs to. This allows
  all namespaces to apply routing and iptables rules to
  kernel-originated traffic in that namespaces by matching UID 0.
  This is better than using the UID of the kernel socket that is
  sending the traffic, because the UID of kernel sockets created
  at namespace creation time (e.g., the per-processor ICMP and
  TCP sockets) is the UID of the user that created the socket,
  which might not be mapped in the namespace.

1602f49b58 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Conflicts were two cases of simple overlapping changes,
nothing serious.

In the UDP case, we need to add a hlist_add_tail_rcu()
to linux/rculist.h, because we've moved UDP socket handling
away from using nulls lists.

9ab179d83b net: vrf: Fix dst reference counting
Vivek reported a kernel exception deleting a VRF with an active
connection through it. The root cause is that the socket has a cached
reference to a dst that is destroyed. Converting the dst_destroy to
dst_release and letting proper reference counting kick in does not
work as the dst has a reference to the device which needs to be released
as well.

I talked to Hannes about this at netdev and he pointed out the ipv4 and
ipv6 dst handling has dst_ifdown for just this scenario. Rather than
continuing with the reinvented dst wheel in VRF just remove it and
leverage the ipv4 and ipv6 versions.

0340d0b9e0 net: Checks skb_dst to be NULL in inet_iif
In inet_iif check if skb_rtable is NULL for the skb and return
skb->skb_iif if it is.

This change allows inet_iif to be called before the dst
information has been set in the skb (e.g. when doing socket based
UDP GRO).

Commands run in a vrf context are not failing as expected on a route lookup:
    root@kenny:~# ip ro ls table vrf-red
    unreachable default

    root@kenny:~# ping -I vrf-red -c1 -w1 10.100.1.254
    ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than vrf-red.
    PING 10.100.1.254 (10.100.1.254) from 0.0.0.0 vrf-red: 56(84) bytes of data.

    --- 10.100.1.254 ping statistics ---
    2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 999ms

Since the vrf table does not have a route for 10.100.1.254 the ping
should have failed. The saddr lookup causes a full VRF table lookup.
Propogating a lookup failure to the user allows the command to fail as
expected:

61adedf3e3 route: move lwtunnel state to dst_entry
Currently, the lwtunnel state resides in per-protocol data. This is
a problem if we encapsulate ipv6 traffic in an ipv4 tunnel (or vice versa).
The xmit function of the tunnel does not know whether the packet has been
routed to it by ipv4 or ipv6, yet it needs the lwtstate data. Moving the
lwtstate data to dst_entry makes such inter-protocol tunneling possible.

As a bonus, this brings a nice diffstat.

f87c10a8aa ipv4: introduce ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward and protect forwarding path against pmtu spoofing
While forwarding we should not use the protocol path mtu to calculate
the mtu for a forwarded packet but instead use the interface mtu.

We mark forwarded skbs in ip_forward with IPSKB_FORWARDED, which was
introduced for multicast forwarding. But as it does not conflict with
our usage in unicast code path it is perfect for reuse.

I moved the functions ip_sk_accept_pmtu, ip_sk_use_pmtu and ip_skb_dst_mtu
along with the new ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward to net/ip.h to fix circular
dependencies because of IPSKB_FORWARDED.

Because someone might have written a software which does probe
destinations manually and expects the kernel to honour those path mtus
I introduced a new per-namespace "ip_forward_use_pmtu" knob so someone
can disable this new behaviour. We also still use mtus which are locked on a
route for forwarding.

The reason for this change is, that path mtus information can be injected
into the kernel via e.g. icmp_err protocol handler without verification
of local sockets. As such, this could cause the IPv4 forwarding path to
wrongfully emit fragmentation needed notifications or start to fragment
packets along a path.

Tunnel and ipsec output paths clear IPCB again, thus IPSKB_FORWARDED
won't be set and further fragmentation logic will use the path mtu to
determine the fragmentation size. They also recheck packet size with
help of path mtu discovery and report appropriate errors.

482fc6094a ipv4: introduce new IP_MTU_DISCOVER mode IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE
Sockets marked with IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE won't do path mtu discovery,
their sockets won't accept and install new path mtu information and they
will always use the interface mtu for outgoing packets. It is guaranteed
that the packet is not fragmented locally. But we won't set the DF-Flag
on the outgoing frames.

Florian Weimer had the idea to use this flag to ensure DNS servers are
never generating outgoing fragments. They may well be fragmented on the
path, but the server never stores or usees path mtu values, which could
well be forged in an attack.

(The root of the problem with path MTU discovery is that there is
no reliable way to authenticate ICMP Fragmentation Needed But DF Set
messages because they are sent from intermediate routers with their
source addresses, and the IMCP payload will not always contain sufficient
information to identify a flow.)

Recent research in the DNS community showed that it is possible to
implement an attack where DNS cache poisoning is feasible by spoofing
fragments. This work was done by Amir Herzberg and Haya Shulman:
<https://sites.google.com/site/hayashulman/files/fragmentation-poisoning.pdf>

This issue was previously discussed among the DNS community, e.g.
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsext/current/msg01204.html>,
without leading to fixes.

This patch depends on the patch "ipv4: fix DO and PROBE pmtu mode
regarding local fragmentation with UFO/CORK" for the enforcement of the
non-fragmentable checks. If other users than ip_append_page/data should
use this semantic too, we have to add a new flag to IPCB(skb)->flags to
suppress local fragmentation and check for this in ip_finish_output.

Many thanks to Florian Weimer for the idea and feedback while implementing
this patch.

The struct inet_cork stores the values of TOS, TTL and priority that are
passed through the struct ipcm_cookie. If there are user-specified TOS
(tos != -1) or TTL (ttl != 0) in the struct ipcm_cookie, these values are
used to override the per-socket values. In case of TOS also the priority
is changed accordingly.

into account the presence of a user specified TOS value when computing
RT_TOS and RT_CONN_FLAGS.

The routing cache works great for well behaved traffic, and the world

cache's design were considered.

What it boils down to is that the performance of the routing cache is
a product of the traffic patterns seen by a system rather than being a
product of the contents of the routing tables.  The former of which is
controllable by external entitites.

Even for "well behaved" legitimate traffic, high volume sites can see
