iptfs_reassem_cont() completes a saved runt by reading the missing bytes
at payload offset "data", and then reads from that same offset again to
fill the inner IP header, deliberately re-copying them.
skb_seq_read() is forward-only. Once a read has stepped past the current
segment of a non-linear skb, st->stepped_offset is larger than the offset
of the re-read, and
*data = st->cur_skb->data + (abs_offset - st->stepped_offset);
underflows in unsigned arithmetic. The companion return value
"block_limit - abs_offset" stays large and positive, so
skb_copy_seq_read() memcpy()s up to iphlen - runtlen bytes from about
4GiB past the skb data.

The sibling parser __input_process_payload() already restarts the walk
when the reader has stepped; do the same after the runt fill. While here,
pass 0 rather than "data" as the new lower bound in that sibling, since
every caller keeps handing skb_copy_seq_read() absolute payload offsets
and skb_seq_read() adds lower_offset to them.

xfrm: iptfs: do not seek the sequential skb reader backwards
iptfs_reassem_cont() can underflow its offset arithmetic when reading
a saved runt if the sequential reader stepped, leading to an out-of-bounds
memcpy. This patch aborts and restarts the sequence read to avoid backwards
seeks. It also fixes a sibling parser to use offset 0 when restarting.

Does this code introduce a data race that corrupts reassembly?
When __input_process_payload() saves a runt, it calls iptfs_input_save_runt()
without acquiring xtfs->drop_lock or any other SA-level lock:
net/xfrm/xfrm_iptfs.c:__input_process_payload() {
...
/* save the bytes we have, advance data and exit */
iptfs_input_save_runt(xtfs, seq, hbytes, remaining);
...
}
This locklessly modifies xtfs->ra_runt, xtfs->ra_runtlen, and
xtfs->ra_wantseq.
Concurrently, another CPU processing packets for the same IP-TFS SA might
execute iptfs_input_ordered() and read xtfs->ra_runtlen locklessly, then
acquire drop_lock for iptfs_reassem_cont():
net/xfrm/xfrm_iptfs.c:iptfs_input_ordered() {
...
/* check before locking i.e., maybe */
if (blkoff || xtfs->ra_runtlen || xtfs->ra_newskb) {
spin_lock(&xtfs->drop_lock);
/* check again after lock */
if (blkoff || xtfs->ra_runtlen || xtfs->ra_newskb) {
data = iptfs_reassem_cont(xtfs, seq, &skbseq, skb, data,
blkoff, &sublist);
}
spin_unlock(&xtfs->drop_lock);
}
...
}
Because iptfs_input_save_runt() does not hold drop_lock, the lockless read
and locked memcpy of xtfs->ra_runt race directly with the lockless writes.
Can this cause memory corruption, torn reads, and packet corruption?
Can this code cause a lock context violation on PREEMPT_RT kernels?
In iptfs_input_ordered(), a sleepable spinlock is acquired while a
kmap_atomic mapping might still be held:
net/xfrm/xfrm_iptfs.c:iptfs_input_ordered() {
...
if (skb_copy_seq_read(&skbseq, 0, ipth, sizeof(*ipth))) {
...
if (blkoff || xtfs->ra_runtlen || xtfs->ra_newskb) {
spin_lock(&xtfs->drop_lock);
...
}
If the packet is non-linear and the header resides in a paged fragment,
skb_copy_seq_read() maps the fragment using kmap_atomic() and leaves
skbseq.frag_data actively mapped.
Acquiring spin_lock(&xtfs->drop_lock) without first aborting the sequence
read violates lock context rules, as spinlock_t maps to a sleepable rt_mutex
on PREEMPT_RT.
Could this lead to a 'sleeping in atomic context' bug?
