This highlights a problem with usb_fill_bulk_urb(). It doesn't notice

AF_RAW: Augment raw_send_hdrinc to expand skb to fit iphdr->ihl (v2)
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.

"holes" in the ring buffer may occur which lead to a hangup until the buffer

remains porous and no packets are processed until the next overflow. Setting

The following patch fixes the problem. Without the patch we could reproduce
the hang within minutes (given other devices also generating lots of
interrupts), without we couldn't reproduce within a few days of long term
testing.
This version contains minor style adjustments and is sent with mutt which
will hopefully not destroy the formatting again.

tcp: accept socket after TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period
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.

AF_UNIX: Fix deadlock on connecting to shutdown socket
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());
/* 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.

The mechanism to clear the statistics register is dependent
on the status of GMIIEN bit in MAC control register. If the
GMIIEN bit is set, the stats registers are write to decrement.
If the GMIIEN bit is cleared, the stats registers are plain
read/write registers. The stats register clearing operation
must take into account the current state of GMIIEN as it
can be cleared when the interface is brought down.
With existing implementation logic, querying for interface stats

Cisco HDLC uses keepalive packets and sequence numbers to determine link
state. In rare cases both ends could transmit keepalive packets at the same
time, causing the received sequence numbers to be treated as incorrect.
Now we accept our current sequence number as well as the previous one.

tcp: fix tcp_defer_accept to consider the timeout
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.
