[PATCH net 1/9] batman-adv: fix stale receive device on merged fragments

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Zhiling Zou <zhilinz@nebusec.ai>

Fragment reassembly reuses the skb from the highest-numbered buffered
fragment as the merged packet. When that fragment was received on a hard
interface which is deleted before the chain completes, the merged skb can
re-enter the receive path with a stale skb->dev and skb_iif.

batadv_batman_skb_recv() passes such merged packets through the normal
receive handlers again. DAT and bridge loop avoidance both derive the ARP
header length from skb->dev, so they can dereference the freed net_device
before the packet reaches the local mesh interface.

Refresh the receive device metadata from the current receive device before
running the packet handlers. This keeps internally reinjected merged
fragments consistent with the normal receive path after hard interface
teardown.

[PATCH net 2/9] batman-adv: bla: avoid CRC corruption due to parallel claim add

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

batadv_bla_add_claim() is used to add claims and modify the backbone of
claims for CLAIM frames from remote backbones and local packets. When it
handles a claim, it needs to either

* add the new claim's CRC to the backbone CRC
* remove the already existing claim's CRC from the old backbone and add it
  to the new backbone

But when the "new" claim code was running in parallel to the "change
backbone" code, it can happen that the CRC was invalid because the
backbone_gw of the claim was changed twice in the "new" claim code path:

* CPU0 creates the claim for gateway A and publishes it in the claim
  hash. The crc16 of the address has not yet been added to A's crc at
  this point.

* CPU1 processes a claim frame of gateway B for the same client, finds
  the just published claim, and performs the ownership change: it
  switches the pointer to B, removes the crc16 from A's crc - which
  never contained it - and adds it to B's crc.

* CPU0 continues behind the creation branch, unconditionally switches
  the pointer back to A without compensating B's crc (its remove_crc
  is false for the creation path), and finally adds the crc16 to A's
  crc

The CRC is then wrong for both:

* claim belongs to A: but CRC is not part of backbone A's CRC
* claim doesn't belong to B: CRC is still part of backbone B's CRC

This wrong CRC is never recomputated from the stored claims. For local
backbone claims, this can also not recovered using syncs.

To avoid this, split the functionality in clear separate parts:

* new claim which always adds claim CRC to the backbone CRC (but never
  changes the already set backbone_gw of the claim back)

* update of existing claim which automatically changes the backbone_gw
  entry and only updates both backbone CRCs when there was an actual change

[PATCH net 3/9] batman-adv: bla: prevent CRC corruptions after claim flush

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

When batadv_bla_del_backbone_claims() tried to remove all claims of a
backbone, it sets the CRC to 0. It assumes that the it had the last
reference of the claims because batadv_claim_release() (which runs after
the last reference was released), is XORing the crc16 of the claim address
with the backbone CRC.

If there would be a parallel holder of any of these references, it could
happen that the backbone CRC is (0 ^ crc16(delayed_released_claim)). Which
is the wrong starting point for the new claims it may receive when the
remote answers the claim request from batadv_bla_send_request().

This reinitializations can be completely dropped to avoid this problem.
batadv_claim_release() will take care of fixing the backbone CRC.

[PATCH net 4/9] batman-adv: dat: avoid unaligned fault in IP extraction

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

Independent of the alignment of the ARP packet in the SKB, either the
batadv_arp_ip_src or the batadv_arp_ip_dst will have an unaligned access
(on HW without native unaligned read support).

Use get_unaligned() to handle this properly on all architectures.

[PATCH net 5/9] batman-adv: dat: atomically update mac addresses

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

When a MAC address is updated in batadv_dat_entry_add(), it is done using a
simple copy function. A parallel reader might only see parts of this
update. In worst case, the reader is transporting the half updated MAC
address over the network or is creating an ARP response using it -
poisoning the ARP cache.

atomic64_t can be used to store the 48 bit of a mac address. A reader will
then either see the old mac address or the new one - never a mixture of
both.

[PATCH net 6/9] batman-adv: fix TX priority extraction for BATADV_FORW_MCAST

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

batadv_mcast_forw_mode_by_count() pushs the skb->data for BATADV_FORW_MCAST
forwarding via batadv_mcast_forw_mcsend(). But the
batadv_skb_set_priority() expects the ethernet header directly before
(skb->data + offset). With the moved skb->data, just some random data would
be accessed to get the priority data.

Move the batadv_skb_set_priority() before the decision about the handling
multicast packets and potential header modifications.

[PATCH net 7/9] batman-adv: mcast: ensure unshared skb for multicast packets

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

When a packet is transmitted via a batman-adv interface and has already
enough room for the header then nothing will make sure that the skbuff is
unshared. But it is not allowed to modify a currently shared skbuff.

Always make sure that the pskb_expand_head() is not only called for a too
small header but also for shared skbuffs.

[PATCH net 8/9] batman-adv: mcast: linearize skbuff for packet generation

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

batadv_mcast_forw_packet() and batadv_mcast_forw_scrape() is not only
called (indirectly) by the unsharing+linearizing batadv_recv_mcast_packet()
handler. When it is called (indirectly) by batadv_mcast_forw_mcsend() then
it will be unshared but not linearized. The SKB_LINEAR_ASSERT() can
therefore cause a fatal BUG().

The linearization should happen during the expansion of the head because
the scrape function can be hit already during the initial
batadv_mcast_forw_mode() selection code:

* batadv_interface_tx
* batadv_mcast_forw_mode
* batadv_mcast_forw_mode_by_count()
* batadv_mcast_forw_push()
  -> calls batadv_mcast_forw_expand_head() before everything else
* batadv_mcast_forw_push_tvlvs()
* batadv_mcast_forw_push_dests()
* batadv_mcast_forw_push_adjust_padding()
* batadv_mcast_forw_scrape()

[PATCH net 9/9] batman-adv: bla: fix freeing of claims on meshif deletion

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

When the mesh interface is getting deleted, then
batadv_bla_del_backbone_claims() (via batadv_bla_purge_backbone_gw()) could
make sure that all claims gets removed. But this function is only executed
when bat_priv->bla.claim_hash is not NULL. And since batadv_bla_free() is
always setting it to NULL before it is (indirectly) called, it was never
actually executed.

But the batadv_bla_purge_claims() -> batadv_handle_unclaim() is at the
moment too fragile because the BLA code is not handling the rehashing in
batadv_bla_update_orig_address(). The stored backbone address doesn't have
to be the one actually used for the hash bucket selection during the
initial adding of the backbone. The batadv_handle_unclaim() can therefore
fail to find the respective backbone for the unclaim and then stop the
deletion.

But the actual backbone_gw object is not needed for the unclaim because all
relevant information is always provided by the caller. And the check for
the existence of the backbone_gw doesn't provide any additional security
check for the deletion of a claim.
