Hi,
The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for *net*.
Most of these are LLM fixes for old issues flagged by sashiko/LLMs.
Many of these trigger drive-by-findings in sashiko. In particular:
- many load/store tearing and missing memory barriers, races
etc. in ipset, esp. with GC and resizing.
Keeping the proposed patches spinning for yet-another-iteration
keeps legit fixes back, so I prefer to add these now and follow
up with other reports later.
- flowtable work queue still has possible races with teardown,
but same rationale as with ipset: drive-by findings, not
problems coming with the flowtable IPIP changeset in this PR.
- ever since unreadable frag skb support was added in 6.12, we can no
longer do: BUG_ON(skb_copy_bits( ...): it will fire with such skbs.
Mina Almasry is looking at similar patterns elsewhere in the stack.
1) Guard skb->mac_header adjustment after IPv6 defragmentation in
nf_conntrack_reasm. From Xiang Mei.
2) NUL-terminate ebtables table names before calling find_table_lock() to
prevent stack-out-of-bounds reads. Also from Xiang Mei.
3) Zero the ebtables chainstack array, else error unwind may free bogus
pointer when CPU mask is sparse. All three issues date from 2.6 days.
4) Ensure ebtables module names are c-strings, same bug pattern as 2).
Bug added in 4.6.
5) Fix catchall element handling for inverted lookups in nft_lookup. Fold the
catchall lookup into ext before computing the match status. Was like
this ever since catchall elements got introduced in 5.13.
From Tamaki Yanagawa.
6-9) ipset updates from Jozsef Kadlecsik:
- mark rcu protected areas correctly
- address gc and resize clash in the comment extension
- add/del backlog cleanup in the error path
- allocate right size for the generic hash structure
10-12): IPIP flowtable updates from Pablo Neira Ayuso:
- Use the current direction's route when pushing IPIP headers
Fix incorrect headroom and fragmentation offset calculations.
- Avoid hardware offload for IPIP tunnels due to lack of driver support.
- Support IPIP tunnels with direct xmit in netfilter flowtable.
dst_cache and dst_cookie are moved outside the union to share route
state across flows. This is a followup to work done in 6.19 cycle.
13) Don't BUG() on skb_copy_bits error. Handle unreadable fragments by
either returning an error or restricting the copy operations to linear area,
This became an issue when unreable frag support was merged in 6.12.
14-16): IPVS updates from Yizhou Zhao:
- Pass parsed transport offset to IPVS state handlers.
update callback signatures.
- use correct transport header offset on state lookp in TCP.
As-is it was possible for ipv6 extension header data to be
treated as L4 header.
- same for SCTP. This was also broken since 2.6 days.
17) Ensure inner IP headers in ICMP errors are in the skb headroom after
stripping outer headers. Add more checks for the length of inner headers.
This was broken since 3.7 days.
From Julian Anastasov.

nf_ct_frag6_reasm() slides the packet head forward to drop the IPv6
fragment header and then unconditionally advances skb->mac_header:
skb->mac_header += sizeof(struct frag_hdr);
On the NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT defrag path the skb has no link-layer header
yet, so skb->mac_header is still the "not set" sentinel (u16)~0U. Adding
sizeof(struct frag_hdr) wraps it to a small value (0xffff + 8 == 7),
after which skb_mac_header_was_set() wrongly reports a MAC header is
present and skb_mac_header() points into the headroom.
The reassembler has done this unconditional add since it was introduced;
it was harmless while mac_header was a bare pointer, but wrong once
mac_header became a u16 offset whose unset state is the ~0U sentinel
tested by skb_mac_header_was_set(). The sibling net/ipv6/reassembly.c
does the same relocation and does guard the adjustment; mirror the
guard here.

update_counters() and compat_update_counters() forward a user-supplied
32-byte table name to find_table_lock() without NUL-terminating it. On a
lookup miss, find_inlist_lock() calls try_then_request_module(..., "%s%s",
"ebtable_", name), and vsnprintf() reads past the name field and the
stack object until it hits a zero byte.
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in string (lib/vsprintf.c:648 lib/vsprintf.c:730)

compat_do_replace() shares the same unterminated name via
compat_copy_ebt_replace_from_user(); terminate it there too so all
find_table_lock() callers behave alike. The other callers already
terminate the name after the copy.

sashiko reports:
looking at ebtables table
translation, could a sparse cpu_possible_mask lead to an uninitialized pointer
free?
If cpu_possible_mask is sparse (for example, CPU 0 and CPU 2 are possible,
but CPU 1 is not), the allocation loop skips CPU 1. If vmalloc_node() fails at
CPU 2, the cleanup loop will blindly decrement and call vfree() on
newinfo->chainstack[1].
Not a real-world bug, such allocation isn't expected to fail
in the first place.

nft_lookup_eval() decides whether a lookup matched (`found`) from the
direct set lookup and priv->invert before falling back to the
catchall element used by interval sets (e.g. nft_set_rbtree) for the
open-ended default range. Since `found` is never recomputed after
`ext` is replaced by the catchall lookup, inverted lookups
(NFT_LOOKUP_F_INV, "!= @set") can wrongly match or wrongly skip the
catchall element, producing the wrong verdict. Fold the catchall
lookup into `ext` before computing `found`, matching the order
already used by nft_objref_map_eval().

When we bump the uref counter, there's no need to keep
the rcu lock because the referred hash table can't
disappear. Also, from the same reason in mtype_gc we
need the rcu lock and not a spinlock.

Zhengchuan Liang and Eulgyu Kim reported that because resize
does not copy the comment extension into the resized set but
uses it's pointer, ongoing gc can free the extension in the
original set which then results stale pointer in the resized
one. The proposed patch was to recreate the extensions for
every element in the resized set. It is both expensive and
wastes memory, so better exclude gc when resizing in progress
detected: resizing will destroy the original set anyway,
so doing gc on it is unnecessary.
Introduce a new spinlock to exclude parallel gc and resize.
Because we just set and check a bool value, there's no need
for the parameter to be atomic_t and rename it for better
readability.

Sashiko pointed out that the add/del backlog was not cleaned up
when resize failed. Fix it in the corresponding error path. Also,
make sure that the add/del backlog is htable-specific so when
resize creates a new htable, old/new backlog can't be mixed up.

Because a single create function is emitted for every hash type,
from the IPv4 and IPv6 generic hash structure definitions the last
one, i.e. the IPv6 was in effect for IPv4 too. Use the proper size
when allocating the structure. Comment properly that because create()
refers to elements of the generic hash structure, all referred ones
must come before the IPv4/IPv6 dependent 'next' member.

When pushing the IPIP header, the route of the other direction is used
to calculate the headroom, use the route in this direction. Accessing
the other tuple to set the IP source and destination is fine because
this tuple does not provide such information to avoid storing redundant
information. However, this tuple already provides the dst for this
direction, this went unnoticed because this bug affects headroom and
iph->frag_off only at this stage.

No driver supports for IPIP tunnels yet, give up early on setting up the
hardware offload for this scenario.
This patch adds a stub that can be enhanced to add more configuration
that are currently not supported. As of now, the offload work is
enqueued to the worker, then ignored if the hardware offload
configuration is not supported.
Check the NF_FLOW_HW flag to know if this entry was already tried once
to be offloaded so this is not retried on refresh when unsupported. Move
NF_FLOW_HW flag check to nf_flow_offload_add(). If this NF_FLOW_HW flag
is unset the _del and _stats variants are never called.
This can be updated later on to skip hardware offload work to be queued
in case hardware offload does not support it.

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
The combination of IPIP tunnel with direct xmit, eg. bridge device,
breaks because no dst_entry is provided to check the skb headroom and to
set the iph->frag_off field. This leads to invalid dst usage and can
trigger a crash in the tunnel transmit path.
Fix this by moving dst_cache and dst_cookie out of the runtime union so
that they can be shared by neighbour, xfrm, and direct tunnel flows.
For FLOW_OFFLOAD_XMIT_DIRECT tuples carrying tunnel metadata, preserve
route state in these shared fields and release it through the common
dst release path.
Since dst_entry is now available to the three supported xmit modes and
dst_release() already deals with NULL dst, remove the xmit type check
in nft_flow_dst_release(). Moreover, skip the check if the dst entry
is NULL in nf_flow_dst_check() which is now the case for the direct
xmit case.
Based on patch from Rein Wei <n05ec@lzu.edu.cn>.

sashiko reports:
When an skb with unreadable fragments (such as from devmem TCP, where
skb_frags_readable(skb) returns false) is processed by the u32 module,
skb_copy_bits() will safely return a negative error code [..]
xt_u32: bail out with hotdrop in this case.
gather_frags: return -1, just as if we had no fragment header.
nfnetlink_queue: restrict to the linear part.
nfnetlink_log: restrict to the linear part.
v2:
- skb_zerocopy helpers don't copy readable flag, i.e. nfnetlink_queue
is broken too
xt_u32 shouldn't return true if hotdrop was set.

From: Yizhou Zhao <zhaoyz24@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn>
IPVS callers already parse the packet into struct ip_vs_iphdr before
updating connection state. For IPv6 this records the real
transport-header offset after extension headers in iph.len.
Pass this parsed transport offset through ip_vs_set_state() and the
protocol state_transition() callback so protocol handlers can use the
same packet context as scheduling and NAT handling. This patch only
changes the common callback plumbing and adapts the protocol callback
signatures; TCP and SCTP start using the value in follow-up patches.

TCP state handling reparses the skb to find the TCP header. For IPv6 it
uses sizeof(struct ipv6hdr), while the surrounding IPVS code already
parsed the packet with ip_vs_fill_iph_skb() and has the real
transport-header offset in iph.len.
This makes TCP state handling look at the wrong bytes when an IPv6
packet carries extension headers. Use the parsed transport offset passed
down from ip_vs_set_state() when reading the TCP header.
For IPv4 and for IPv6 packets without extension headers, the passed
offset matches the previous value.

set_sctp_state() reads the SCTP chunk header again in order to drive the
IPVS SCTP state table. For IPv6 it computes the offset with
sizeof(struct ipv6hdr), while the surrounding IPVS code uses iph.len from
ip_vs_fill_iph_skb(), where ipv6_find_hdr() has already skipped
extension headers and found the real transport header.
This makes the state machine read from the wrong offset for IPv6 SCTP
packets that carry extension headers. For example, an INIT packet with an
8-byte destination options header can be scheduled correctly by
sctp_conn_schedule(), but set_sctp_state() reads the first byte of the
SCTP verification tag as a DATA chunk type. The connection then moves
from NONE to ESTABLISHED instead of INIT1, gets the longer established
timeout, and updates the active/inactive destination counters
incorrectly. This happens even though the SCTP handshake has not
completed.
Use the parsed transport offset passed down from ip_vs_set_state() for
the SCTP chunk-header lookup. For IPv4 and IPv6 packets without
extension headers this preserves the existing offset.

Sashiko points out that after stripping the outer headers
with pskb_pull() we should ensure the inner IP headers
in ICMP errors from tunnels are present in the skb headroom
for functions like ipv4_update_pmtu(), icmp_send() and
IP_VS_DBG().
Also, add more checks for the length of the inner headers.
