1) xfrm6: fix out-of-bounds write in xfrm6_input_addr() when secpath is full
Tighten the secpath-depth check so a full chain can't write
past xvec[].
2) Add and revert "esp: do not unref managed frag pages in esp_ssg_unref()"
The patch does not fully fully resolve the issue, a corrected version
will follow.
3) xfrm: espintcp: fix UAF during close
Synchronize espintcp close with the xfrm_trans_reinject work
queue so the freed socket message isn't dereferenced again.
4) xfrm: drop ESP-in-TCP packets with no ingress device
Drop queued ESP-in-TCP records whose saved ingress device has
gone away, avoiding a NULL device deref in the XFRM input path.
5) xfrm: avoid lock inversion in nat keepalive work
Split the NAT keepalive walk into a reference-collection phase
and a per-state lock phase to break the AB-BA with state removal.
This patch has some issues that are fixed with a followup patch.
6) xfrm: Fix skb double-free in xfrm_dev_direct_output()
Stop freeing the skb unconditionally in xfrm_dev_direct_output(),
letting local_out()'s result indicate when ownership has moved on.
7) xfrm: ah6: validate routing header segments_left
Validate the segments_left/hdrlen invariant before rearranging
the routing-header addresses, avoiding an OOB memmove on
malformed HDRINCL packets.
8) xfrm: fix xfrm_state_construct() auth-trunc leak
Detect an already-attached auth-trunc allocation by the pointer
rather than inferring it from the algorithm id, so a prior
attach isn't overwritten and lost.
9) xfrm: bound nat keepalive state collection
Replace the per-state allocation in the NAT keepalive walk
with a fixed-size batch that drains under BH-disabled locking
and resumes from the cursor, bounding the worker's memory.

The v1 nat keepalive fix allocates a GFP_ATOMIC object for every state
while collecting references for phase two. This makes the worker's
temporary memory use depend on the number of states and lets -ENOMEM abort
the scan.
Replace the allocated list with a fixed-size batch. When the batch is full,
return a private walk status so xfrm_state_walk() leaves a cursor; drain
the references after the walk releases xfrm_state_lock and resume from
the cursor. This bounds temporary memory use and avoids the allocation
failure path.
The v1 fix also moved nat_keepalive_send() out of the walk callback. Keep
the phase-two drain BH-disabled, as required by local_lock_nested_bh()
used by the keepalive sockets.

attach_auth_trunc() can allocate x->aalg while leaving
x->props.aalgo at zero when the selected auth algorithm has no
sadb_alg_id. One real case is cmac(aes).
xfrm_state_construct() then treats !x->props.aalgo as "no auth
algorithm attached yet" and calls attach_auth(). That overwrites
x->aalg and loses the first allocation. Any later failure or teardown
only frees the replacement pointer.
Check whether x->aalg is already attached instead of inferring that
state from x->props.aalgo.

A return value other than 1 from local_out() means that the skb has been
consumed or its ownership was transferred. xfrm_dev_direct_output()
nevertheless frees the skb on this path, causing a double-free when
netfilter drops the packet and invalidating any other owner.

nat_keepalive_work() walks the state table while xfrm_state_walk()
holds net->xfrm.xfrm_state_lock. Its callback then acquires x->lock,
which conflicts with the delete path taking the same locks in reverse
order via xfrm_state_delete() and __xfrm_state_delete(). This creates
an AB-BA deadlock that is reported by lockdep when a NAT keepalive
worker races with SA deletion.
Fix this by splitting the keepalive walk into two phases. First,
collect the candidate states while the walk holds xfrm_state_lock and
take a reference on each state. Then, after the walk completes, process
each collected state and acquire x->lock without nesting it under
xfrm_state_lock.

====================
BIG TCP for UDP tunnels
This series is a follow-up to "BIG TCP without HBH in IPv6", and it adds
support for BIG TCP IPv4/IPv6 workloads in vxlan and geneve. Now that
IPv6 BIG TCP doesn't require stripping the HBH in all various
combinations in tunneled traffic, adding BIG TCP becomes feasible.
Patch 01 adds accessors for the length field in the UDP header, as
suggested by Paolo in review. The usage of udp_set_len is then added in
the following patches that start using length=0 in BIG TCP UDP packets.
Patches 02-04 close the gaps that prevent BIG TCP packets from going
through UDP tunnel code.
Patch 05 validates packets in udp_gro_receive to exclude packets with
length=0 from GRO aggregation.
Patch 06 is for proper formatting in tcpdump (set UDP len to 0 rather
than a trimmed value on overflow).
Patches 07-08 bump up tso_max_size for VXLAN and GENEVE.
Patch 09 adds selftests.

Since BIG TCP for UDP tunnels will start using len=0 in the UDP header
as an indicator of a GSO packet bigger than 65535 bytes, this commit
introduces the following getter and setters to use tree-wide, in order
to explicitly mark places where len=0 may be expected, and handle them
properly:
1. udp_set_len() sets uh->len to its real value if it's not bigger than
65535, and to 0 otherwise: to be used in GSO context with aggregated
packets.
2. udp_set_len_short() is to be used when the length is known to fit 16
bits. It WARNs when the caller tries to assign a bigger value if
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET=y.
3. udp_get_len_short() returns len in host byte order: to be used on the
RX side to deal with non-aggregated packets, or to access the raw value
of the len field.
4. udp_get_len() decodes uh->len set by udp_set_len(). It checks whether
the packet is GSO to guard from malformed packets.
At the moment udp_set_len() is not used, a following commit will start
using it after enabling len>65535 for GSO.
Raw uh->len (in network byte order) is still accessed in a few places
for checksum calculation purposes, and to decode len=0 in udpv6_rcv for
jumbograms. udp_rcv and udpv6_rcv will be addressed by the commit that
starts using udp_set_len() to set UDP len=0 for BIG TCP packets in UDP
tunnels.

ESP-in-TCP receives records through the TCP strparser. handle_esp()
restores skb->dev from the saved skb_iif before passing the packet into
the XFRM input path.
Queued TCP data can be processed after the original ingress device has
been removed, for example during veth or net namespace teardown. In that
case dev_get_by_index_rcu() returns NULL. The XFRM IPv4 and IPv6 input
paths both expect skb->dev to be valid while building the route lookup,
so queued ESP-in-TCP data can dereference a NULL device.
Drop the packet if the saved ingress device can no longer be resolved.
Such a packet can no longer be routed through the normal XFRM receive
path, and this preserves the existing behaviour for packets whose ingress
device still exists.

ZDI reported and analyzed a race condition during close for espintcp
sockets:
espintcp_close() frees emsg->skb via kfree_skb() without holding
any socket lock. Concurrently, the xfrm_trans_reinject work queue
invokes esp_output_tcp_finish() -> espintcp_push_skb() ->
espintcp_push_msgs() -> skb_send_sock_locked(), which reads the
same skb as a data source.
Fix this by adding a synchronize_rcu() call after resetting sk_prot,
since esp_output_tcp_finish() runs under RCU and won't use a socket
with sk_prot == &tcp_prot. Simply taking the socket lock in
espintcp_close() could lead to leaks, if esp_output_tcp_finish()
re-adds an skb in the slot we just freed. After this, the existing
barrier() is no longer needed.

xfrm_hash_rebuild()'s first loop preallocates the bins/chains the reinsert
loop needs, so the reinsert (after hlist_del_rcu()) cannot allocate or
fail. But its guard is inverted: it skips policies with prefixlen <
threshold and preallocates for the rest.
prefixlen < threshold is exactly when policy_hash_bysel() returns NULL and
the reinsert takes the allocating xfrm_policy_inexact_insert() path. So the
loop preallocates for the exact policies (which never allocate) and skips
the inexact ones, whose bin/node is then allocated GFP_ATOMIC during
reinsert. On failure the error path only WARN_ONCE()s and continues,
leaving a poisoned bydst node; the next rebuild's hlist_del_rcu()
dereferences LIST_POISON2 and takes a GPF. Reachable under memory pressure,
deterministic via failslab.
Invert the guard so preallocation covers exactly the reinserted policies;
the reinsert then allocates nothing and cannot fail.

When iptfs_skb_add_frags() copies frag references from the source
frag walk into a new SKB, it increments the page reference count via
__skb_frag_ref() but does not propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG to the
destination SKB's skb_shinfo->flags.
If the source SKB carries shared frags (e.g. from a page-pool backed
receive path), the new inner SKB will appear to ESP as having privately
owned frags. A subsequent esp_input() call for a nested transport-mode
SA then takes the no-COW fast path and decrypts in place, writing over
pages that are still referenced by the outer IPTFS SKB. This causes
kernel-visible memory corruption and can trigger a panic.
All other frag-transfer helpers in the kernel (skb_try_coalesce,
skb_gro_receive, __pskb_copy_fclone, skb_shift, skb_segment) correctly
propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG; align iptfs_skb_add_frags() with this
convention by setting the flag inside the loop immediately after
__skb_frag_ref() and nr_frags++, so every exit path that attaches a frag
unconditionally propagates SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG.

xfrm_state_gc_task can run long after a failed IPTFS state setup. In the
reproduced case, __xfrm_init_state() cached x->mode_cbs, IPTFS setup
returned -ENOMEM before publishing mode_data, and the temporary module
reference from xfrm_get_mode_cbs() was dropped immediately. The dead state
then kept x->mode_cbs until deferred GC ran after xfrm_iptfs had been
unloaded.
Clear x->mode_cbs when mode init or clone fails before publishing
mode_data. Those states never installed mode-specific state or the
long-term IPTFS module pin, so deferred GC has nothing mode-specific to
destroy and must not retain a callback table pointer past the temporary
lookup reference.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
failed setup path:
1. cache x->mode_cbs
2. mode setup fails before mode_data
3. drop the temporary module ref
4. dead state keeps x->mode_cbs cached
GC/unload path:
1. xfrm_state_put() queues GC work
2. xfrm_iptfs unloads later
3. xfrm_state_gc_task runs
4. GC dereferences stale x->mode_cbs
This also covers the failed clone path where clone_state() returns before
publishing mode_data.

copy_to_user_state_extra() only holds a reference to the outer xfrm_state.
That does not pin x->xso.dev. NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_UNREGISTER can race

xfrm_dev_state_free(), which clears xso->dev and drops the netdev

The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
XFRM_MSG_GETSA dump path: NETDEV teardown path:
1. xfrm_get_sa() gets xfrm_state 1. xfrm_dev_state_flush() finds x

3. copy_user_offload() calls 3. xfrm_dev_state_free() clears
xso_to_xuo() xso->dev
4. xso->dev->ifindex dereferences 4. netdev_put() drops the device
a detached net_device reference
Avoid following the live net_device from the dump paths. Cache the
attached ifindex in xfrm_dev_offload when state or policy offload is bound
to a device, and serialize that snapshot instead. This preserves the
user-visible XFRMA_OFFLOAD_DEV value without depending on the embedded
net_device lifetime.

i.e. the non-atomic __sk_dst_set(sk, NULL): it reads sk_dst_cache with
rcu_dereference_protected(), stores NULL and dst_release()s the old dst.
That is only safe if no other thread modifies sk_dst_cache concurrently.
For a connected UDP socket that does not hold: the transmit fast path
(udp_sendmsg -> sk_dst_check -> sk_dst_reset) resets the cache locklessly

That cleanup is only correct before the skb is handed to the output
path. Once ip_build_and_send_pkt() or ip6_xmit() takes ownership, the
networking stack may already have consumed the skb before returning an
error, so freeing it again is unsafe.
Handle the pre-handoff failure cases inside nat_keepalive_send_ipv4()
and nat_keepalive_send_ipv6(), where the caller still owns the skb, and
keep nat_keepalive_send() responsible only for family dispatch and the
unsupported-family cleanup path.

skb_gso_segment() leaves the segment list head with ->prev pointing at
the last segment, an invariant validate_xmit_skb_list() relies on when
it sets its tail pointer (tail = skb->prev).
When validate_xmit_xfrm() walks a GSO list and some segments are stolen
by async crypto (->xmit() returns -EINPROGRESS), those segments are
unlinked from the list but the head ->prev is never updated. If the
last segment is the one stolen, the returned head still has ->prev
pointing at it, even though it is now owned by the crypto engine and may
be freed. validate_xmit_skb_list() later does tail->next = skb, writing
through that stale pointer -- a use-after-free.
Repoint skb->prev at the last retained segment before returning.

validate_xmit_xfrm() returns NULL both when a packet is dropped and
when it is stolen by async crypto (-EINPROGRESS from ->xmit()).
Callers cannot distinguish the two cases.
f53c723902 ("net: Add asynchronous callbacks for xfrm on layer 2.")
changed the semantics of a NULL return from "dropped" to "stolen or
dropped", but __dev_queue_xmit() was not updated. On virtual/bridge
interfaces (noqueue qdisc) __dev_queue_xmit() initialises rc=-ENOMEM
and jumps to out: when skb is NULL, returning -ENOMEM to the caller
even though the packet will be delivered correctly via xfrm_dev_resume().
Return ERR_PTR(-EINPROGRESS) from validate_xmit_xfrm() for the async
case so callers can tell it apart from a real drop. Update
__dev_queue_xmit() to handle ERR_PTR(-EINPROGRESS) from
validate_xmit_skb() correctly. Update validate_xmit_skb_list() to
use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() so that ERR_PTR(-EINPROGRESS) is not mistakenly
added to the transmitted list.

1) xfrm: use compat translator only for u64 alignment mismatch
Gate the XFRM_USER_COMPAT translator on COMPAT_FOR_U64_ALIGNMENT
so 32-bit compat tasks on arches whose 32-bit ABI already matches
the native 64-bit layout are no longer rejected with -EOPNOTSUPP.

xfrmi_changelink() operates on at most two netns, dev_net(dev) and the
interface link netns xi->net. They differ once the device is created in
or moved to a netns other than the one the request runs in. The rtnl
changelink path checks CAP_NET_ADMIN only against dev_net(dev), so a
caller privileged there but not in xi->net can rewrite an interface that
lives in xi->net.

The xfrm input state cache insertion code checks the validity of
the state before acquiring the global xfrm_state_lock. Thus it's
possible for someone else to kill the state after it passed the
validity check, and then the insertion will add the dead state
to the cache.
Fix this by moving the validity check inside the lock.
This entire function is called on the input path, where BH must
be off (e.g., the caller of this function xfrm_input acquires
its spinlocks without disabling BH).
So there is no need to disable BH here or take the RCU read lock.
Remove both and replace them with an assertion that trips if BH
is accidentally enabled on some future calling path.

The XFRM compat layer (CONFIG_XFRM_USER_COMPAT) translates 32-bit xfrm
netlink and setsockopt messages into the native 64-bit layout. It is
only needed on architectures where the 32-bit and 64-bit ABIs disagree
on u64 alignment, which the kernel encodes as COMPAT_FOR_U64_ALIGNMENT.
That symbol is defined only by arch/x86. XFRM_USER_COMPAT depends on it,
so the translator can never be built on any other architecture,
including arm64, which still provides a 32-bit compat ABI (CONFIG_COMPAT)
for AArch32 EL0 userspace. On arm64 the AArch32 EABI already aligns u64
to 8 bytes, identical to the AArch64 ABI, so no translation is required
and the native code path is correct for 32-bit tasks.
However, xfrm_user_rcv_msg() and xfrm_user_policy() gate on
in_compat_syscall() alone and then call xfrm_get_translator(), which
returns NULL when no translator is registered. On arm64 that is always
the case, so every xfrm netlink message and the XFRM_POLICY setsockopt
issued by a 32-bit task returns -EOPNOTSUPP. A 32-bit userspace process
on arm64 (and on any other arch with CONFIG_COMPAT but without
COMPAT_FOR_U64_ALIGNMENT) therefore cannot configure XFRM state or
policy through the XFRM_USER netlink API, and cannot use the XFRM_POLICY
setsockopt path, because both fail before reaching the native parser.
The translator series replaced the blanket compat rejection with a
translator lookup. That made the path usable on x86 when the translator
is available, but left architectures that cannot build the translator
permanently rejected even when their compat layout already matches the
native layout. Let those architectures use the native parser instead.
Gate the translator requirement on COMPAT_FOR_U64_ALIGNMENT instead of
on in_compat_syscall() alone. Gating on the ABI property rather than on
CONFIG_XFRM_USER_COMPAT is deliberate: on x86 with IA32_EMULATION=y but
XFRM_USER_COMPAT=n, a 32-bit task must still be rejected rather than
routed through the native parser, which would misread genuinely
4-byte-aligned x86-32 messages. COMPAT_FOR_U64_ALIGNMENT is the ABI
property that makes the XFRM translator mandatory.
Only the receive/input direction needs the guard. The send, dump and
notification paths already call the translator as "if (xtr) { ... }"
with no error on NULL, so on arches without a translator they no-op and
the kernel emits native 64-bit-layout messages, which is what an AArch32
task expects.
Tested on Juniper SRX hardware: with the fix, 32-bit IPsec userspace
netlink and XFRM_POLICY setsockopt operations that previously failed
with -EOPNOTSUPP now succeed; x86 behaviour is unchanged by inspection.

espintcp keeps a single in-flight transmit in ctx->partial.
Before building a new sk_msg, espintcp_sendmsg() first tries to flush
that state through espintcp_push_msgs().
For blocking callers, espintcp_push_msgs() may return success even when
the previous partial send is still pending. espintcp_sendmsg() would
then reinitialize emsg->skmsg and reuse ctx->partial while the old
transfer still owns that state.
Do not rebuild the send message when ctx->partial is still in progress.
If espintcp_push_msgs() returns with emsg->len still set, fail the new
send instead of overwriting the live partial state.
This is a memory-safety fix: reusing the live partial-send state can
leave a stale offset attached to a new sk_msg and lead to an out-of-
bounds read in the send path.
tcp_sendmsg_locked() already handles waiting for send buffer memory, so
the fix here is just to preserve espintcp's one-message-at-a-time
transmit state.

iptfs_destroy_state() calls hrtimer_cancel() while holding a spinlock
that the timer callback also acquires, leading to an ABBA deadlock on
SMP systems.
For the output timer (iptfs_timer):
- iptfs_destroy_state() holds x->lock, calls hrtimer_cancel()
- iptfs_delay_timer() callback takes x->lock
For the drop timer (drop_timer):
- iptfs_destroy_state() holds drop_lock, calls hrtimer_cancel()
- iptfs_drop_timer() callback takes drop_lock
Both timers use HRTIMER_MODE_REL_SOFT, so their callbacks run in softirq
context. When hrtimer_cancel() is called for a soft timer that is
currently executing on another CPU, hrtimer_cancel_wait_running() spins
on softirq_expiry_lock -- the same lock held by the softirq running the
callback. If the callback is blocked waiting for the spinlock held by
the caller of hrtimer_cancel(), a circular dependency forms:
CPU 0: holds lock_A -> waits for softirq_expiry_lock
CPU 1: holds softirq_expiry_lock -> waits for lock_A
Fix by calling hrtimer_cancel() before acquiring the respective locks.
hrtimer_cancel() is safe to call without holding any lock and will wait
for any in-progress callback to complete. For the output timer, the
lock is still acquired afterwards to drain the packet queue. For the
drop timer, the lock/unlock pair is removed entirely since it only
existed to serialize with the timer callback, which hrtimer_cancel()
already guarantees.

During SA migration via xfrm_state_clone_and_setup(),
nat_keepalive_interval was silently dropped and never copied to the new
SA. mapping_maxage was unconditionally copied even when migrating to a
non-encapsulated SA.
Both fields are only meaningful when UDP encapsulation (NAT-T) is in
use. Move mapping_maxage and add nat_keepalive_interval inside the
existing if (encap) block, so both are inherited when migrating with
encapsulation and correctly absent when migrating without it.

The current code prevents migrating an SA from UDP encapsulation to
plain ESP. This is needed when moving from a NATed path to a non-NATed
one, for example when switching from IPv4+NAT to IPv6.
Only copy the existing encapsulation during migration if the encap
attribute is explicitly provided.
Note: PF_KEY's SADB_X_MIGRATE always passes encap=NULL and never
supported encapsulation in migration. PF_KEY is deprecated and was
in feature freeze when UDP encapsulation was added to xfrm.

Add a struct extack parameter to xfrm_init_state() and pass it
through to __xfrm_init_state(). This allows validation errors detected
during state initialization to propagate meaningful error messages back
to userspace.
xfrm_state_migrate() now passes extack so that errors from the
XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE path are properly reported. Callers without an
extack context (af_key, ipcomp4, ipcomp6) pass NULL, preserving their
existing behaviour.

Fix the race by pruning the bin while still holding xfrm_policy_lock,

the lock is already held. The wrapper xfrm_policy_inexact_prune_bin()

__input_process_payload() stores first_skb into xtfs->ra_newskb under
drop_lock when starting partial reassembly, then unlocks and breaks out
of the processing loop. The post-loop check reads xtfs->ra_newskb
without the lock to decide whether first_skb is still owned:
if (first_skb && first_iplen && !defer && first_skb != xtfs->ra_newskb)
Between spin_unlock and this read, a concurrent CPU running
iptfs_reassem_cont() (or the drop_timer hrtimer) can complete
reassembly, NULL xtfs->ra_newskb, and free the skb. The check then
evaluates first_skb != NULL as true, and pskb_trim/ip_summed/consume_skb
operate on the freed skb — a use-after-free in skbuff_head_cache.
Replace the unlocked read with a local bool that records whether
first_skb was handed to the reassembly state in the current call. The
flag is set after the existing spin_unlock, before the break, using the
pointer equality that is stable at that point (first_skb == skb iff
first_skb was stored in ra_newskb).

iptfs_consume_frags() transfers paged fragments from one socket buffer
to another but fails to propagate the SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG flag. This is
the same class of bug that was fixed in skb_try_coalesce() for
CVE-2026-46300: when fragments backed by read-only page-cache pages are
merged, the marker indicating their shared nature must be preserved so
that ESP can decide correctly whether in-place encryption is safe.
Apply the same two-line fix used in skb_try_coalesce() to
iptfs_consume_frags().

Transport-mode reinjection stores a struct net pointer in skb->cb and
uses it later from xfrm_trans_reinject(). That pointer must stay valid
until the deferred callback runs.
Take a netns reference when queueing deferred reinjection work and drop
it after the callback completes. Use maybe_get_net() so the queueing
path does not revive a namespace that is already being torn down.
This keeps the existing workqueue design and fixes the netns lifetime
handling in one place for all users of xfrm_trans_queue_net().

The struct pernet_operations docstring in include/net/net_namespace.h
explicitly warns against blocking RCU primitives in .exit handlers:
Exit methods using blocking RCU primitives, such as
synchronize_rcu(), should be implemented via exit_batch.
[...]
Please, avoid synchronize_rcu() at all, where it's possible.
Note that a combination of pre_exit() and exit() can
be used, since a synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed between
the calls.
xfrm_policy_fini() violates this: it calls synchronize_rcu() before
freeing the policy_bydst hash tables (so no RCU reader is mid-
traversal at free time), but runs from xfrm_net_ops.exit -- once per
namespace -- so a cleanup_net() of N namespaces pays N full RCU
grace periods serially.
Use the documented pre_exit/exit split. Move the policy flush (and
the workqueue drains it depends on) into a new .pre_exit handler;
xfrm_policy_fini() then runs in .exit and frees the hash tables
after the synchronize_rcu_expedited() that cleanup_net() guarantees
between the two phases. Providing O(1) RCU grace periods per batch
instead of O(N).
Observed on Linux 6.18 with a workload doing unshare(CLONE_NEWNET)
at ~13/sec sustained: cleanup_net() and the netns_wq rescuer kthread
both stuck in xfrm_policy_fini()'s synchronize_rcu(), >300k struct
net accumulated in the cleanup queue, Percpu in /proc/meminfo climbed
to 130+ GB on 256-CPU hosts, and memcg OOMs followed. setup_net and
__put_net counts were balanced, ruling out a refcount leak.
