<id>urn:sha1:96f887a612e4cda89efc3f54bc10c1997e3ab0e9</id>
<content type='text'>
xmit() functions should consume skb or return error codes in error
paths.
When the configuration "CONFIG_INET_ESPINTCP" is not set, the
implementation of the function "esp_output_tail_tcp" violates this rule.
The function frees the skb and returns the error code.
This change removes the kfree_skb from both functions, for both
esp4 and esp6.
WARN_ON is added because esp_output_tail_tcp() should never be called if
CONFIG_INET_ESPINTCP is not set.

This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis
Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.

pull request (net-next): ipsec-next 2024-05-03

1) Remove Obsolete UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE Support.
   This was defined by an early version of an IETF draft
   that did not make it to a standard.

2) Introduce direction attribute for xfrm states.
   xfrm states have a direction, a stsate can be used
   either for input or output packet processing.
   Add a direction to xfrm states to make it clear
   for what a xfrm state is used.

<content type='text'>
The UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE mode, introduced into the Linux kernel
in 2004 [2], has remained inactive and obsolete for an extended period.

This mode was originally defined in an early version of an IETF draft
[1] from 2001. By the time it was integrated into the kernel in 2004 [2],
it had already been replaced by UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP [3] in later
versions of draft-ietf-ipsec-udp-encaps, particularly in version 06.

Over time, UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE has lost its relevance, with no
known use cases.

With this commit, we remove support for UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE,
simplifying the codebase and eliminating unnecessary complexity.
Kernel will return an error -ENOPROTOOPT if the userspace tries to set
this option.

<title>net: move skb ref helpers to new header</title>

<content type='text'>
Add a new header, linux/skbuff_ref.h, which contains all the skb_*_ref()
helpers. Many of the consumers of skbuff.h do not actually use any of
the skb ref helpers, and we can speed up compilation a bit by minimizing
this header file.

Additionally in the later patch in the series we add page_pool support
to skb_frag_ref(), which requires some page_pool dependencies. We can
now add these dependencies to skbuff_ref.h instead of a very ubiquitous
skbuff.h

The implementations of these 2 functions are almost identical. Remove
the implementation of napi_frag_unref, and make it a call into
skb_page_unref so we don't duplicate the implementation.

<title>page_pool: check for PP direct cache locality later</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4a96a4e807c390a9d91b450ebe04eeb2e0ecc076</id>
<content type='text'>
Since we have pool-&gt;p.napi (Jakub) and pool-&gt;cpuid (Lorenzo) to check
whether it's safe to use direct recycling, we can use both globally for
each page instead of relying solely on @allow_direct argument.
Let's assume that @allow_direct means "I'm sure it's local, don't waste
time rechecking this" and when it's false, try the mentioned params to
still recycle the page directly. If neither is true, we'll lose some
CPU cycles, but then it surely won't be hotpath. On the other hand,
paths where it's possible to use direct cache, but not possible to
safely set @allow_direct, will benefit from this move.
The whole propagation of @napi_safe through a dozen of skb freeing
functions can now go away, which saves us some stack space.

<content type='text'>
When the skb is reorganized during esp_output (!esp-&gt;inline), the pages
coming from the original skb fragments are supposed to be released back
to the system through put_page. But if the skb fragment pages are
originating from a page_pool, calling put_page on them will trigger a
page_pool leak which will eventually result in a crash.

This leak can be easily observed when using CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and doing
ipsec + gre (non offloaded) forwarding:

The suggested fix is to introduce a new wrapper (skb_page_unref) that
