Merge tag 'ovpn-net-20250603' of https://github.com/OpenVPN/ovpn-net-next

Antonio Quartulli says:

====================
In this batch you can find the following bug fixes:

Patch 1: when releasing a UDP socket we were wrongly invoking
setup_udp_tunnel_sock() with an empty config. This was not
properly shutting down the UDP encap state.
With this patch we simply undo what was done during setup.

Patch 2: ovpn was holding a reference to a 'struct socket'
without increasing its reference counter. This was intended
and worked as expected until we hit a race condition where
user space tries to close the socket while kernel space is
also releasing it. In this case the (struct socket *)->sk
member would disappear under our feet leading to a null-ptr-deref.
This patch fixes this issue by having struct ovpn_socket hold
a reference directly to the sk member while also increasing
its reference counter.

Patch 3: in case of errors along the TCP RX path (softirq)
we want to immediately delete the peer, but this operation may
sleep. With this patch we move the peer deletion to a scheduled
worker.

Patch 4 and 5 are instead fixing minor issues in the ovpn
kselftests.

Modules linked in: ovpn(O)

This happens because the peer deletion operation reaches
ovpn_socket_release() while ovpn_sock->sock (struct socket *)
and its sk member (struct sock *) are still both valid.
Here synchronize_rcu() is invoked, after which ovpn_sock->sock->sk
becomes NULL, due to the concurrent socket closing triggered
from userspace.

After having invoked synchronize_rcu(), ovpn_socket_release() will
attempt dereferencing ovpn_sock->sock->sk, triggering the crash
reported above.

The reason for accessing sk is that we need to retrieve its
protocol and continue the cleanup routine accordingly.

This crash can be easily produced by running openvpn userspace in
client mode with `--keepalive 10 20`, while entirely omitting this
option on the server side.
After 20 seconds ovpn will assume the peer (server) to be dead,
will start removing it and will notify userspace. The latter will
receive the notification and close the transport socket, thus
triggering the crash.

To fix the race condition for good, we need to refactor struct ovpn_socket.
Since ovpn is always only interested in the sock->sk member (struct sock *)
we can directly hold a reference to it, raher than accessing it via
its struct socket container.

This means changing "struct socket *ovpn_socket->sock" to
"struct sock *ovpn_socket->sk".

While acquiring a reference to sk, we can increase its refcounter
without affecting the socket close()/destroy() notification
(which we rely on when userspace closes a socket we are using).

By increasing sk's refcounter we know we can dereference it
in ovpn_socket_release() without incurring in any race condition
anymore.

ovpn_socket_release() will ultimately decrease the reference
counter.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:

- Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.

- Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
faster.

- Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
scalability.

- Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
micro-benchmarks.

- Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
performance improvement in related stream tests.

- Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
on PREMPT_RT.

- Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.

Netfilter:

- Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
use this interface.

- Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
flowtables.

- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.

- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
introspection.

BPF:

- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
using the "tc qdisc" command.

- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.

Protocols:

- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.

- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.

- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
matches the nexthop device.

- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.

- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
in the fast path.

- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.

Driver API:

- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
unsupported flags.

- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.

- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
dump operations targeting PHYs.

Tests and tooling:

- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
qdisc layer configuration.

- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
netlink output.

- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.

- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.

New hardware / drivers:

- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
user-space implementation.

- Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.

- Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.

With this change ovpn is allowed to communicate to peers also via TCP.
Parsing of incoming messages is implemented through the strparser API.

Note that ovpn redefines sk_prot and sk_socket->ops for the TCP socket
used to communicate with the peer.
For this reason it needs to access inet6_stream_ops, which is declared
as extern in the IPv6 module, but it is not fully exported.

Therefore this patch is also adding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(inet6_stream_ops)
to net/ipv6/af_inet6.c.
