regular management-frame timestamp offset instead of the S1G timestamp.

Extension frames only have the extension header at the regular 802.11
header offset. The generic RX path can still reach helpers and interface
dispatch code that read regular header address fields before unsupported
extension subtypes are dropped.
mac80211 currently only handles S1G beacon extension frames. Drop other
extension subtypes before they can reach regular-header RX processing.
For S1G beacons, linearize the SKB with the management-frame path and
require the fixed S1G beacon header, including optional fixed fields
indicated by frame control, before generic RX dispatch.
Route S1G beacons through the station/default-link RX path without
regular-header station lookup. Avoid regular-header address reads in the
mac80211 RX paths that process S1G extension beacons, including
accept-frame, duplicate-detection, address-copy, and MLO
address-translation paths.
Also make ieee80211_get_bssid() length-safe before returning the S1G
source-address pointer.

When a netlink socket that owns a PMSR session is closed,
cfg80211_release_pmsr() clears the request's nl_portid and queues
pmsr_free_wk to call cfg80211_pmsr_process_abort() asynchronously.
If the interface tears down concurrently, cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down()
is called under wiphy_lock and calls cancel_work_sync(&pmsr_free_wk)
to wait for any running work. The work function acquires wiphy_lock
via guard(wiphy) before calling process_abort.
This is a deadlock: wdev_down holds wiphy_lock and blocks inside
cancel_work_sync(); pmsr_free_wk blocks trying to acquire that same
wiphy_lock. Neither thread can proceed.
The same deadlock is reachable from cfg80211_leave_locked(), which
calls cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() for all interface types under
wiphy_lock.
Fix this by converting pmsr_free_wk from a plain work_struct to a
wiphy_work. The wiphy_work dispatcher holds wiphy_lock when running
work items, so the explicit guard(wiphy) in the work function is no
longer needed. wiphy_work_cancel() can be called safely while holding
wiphy_lock - since wiphy_lock prevents the work from running
concurrently, wiphy_work_cancel() never blocks, eliminating the
deadlock.
Remove the cancel_work_sync() for pmsr_free_wk from the
NETDEV_GOING_DOWN handler. cfg80211_leave(), called unconditionally
just before it, already cancels any pending work under wiphy_lock
via wiphy_work_cancel() inside cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down().

cfg80211_gen_new_ie() copies ML probe response elements from
the parent frame when the parent EHT multi-link element has an
MLD ID matching the nontransmitted BSSID index.
The code only checked that the extension element had more than
one byte before calling ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id(). That helper
assumes a BASIC MLE with enough common info and documents that
callers must first use ieee80211_mle_type_ok().
Attack chain:
malicious AP sends a short EHT MLE in an MBSSID beacon.
cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data() stores the copied IE buffer.
cfg80211_parse_mbssid_data() builds the nontransmitted BSS IE.
cfg80211_gen_new_ie() sees the EHT MLE in the parent frame.
ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id() then reads past the IE boundary.
Validate the MLE type and size before reading the MLD ID. This
matches the contract required by the MLE helper and rejects the
short element before any internal MLE fields are accessed.

sta_remove_link() frees a removed MLO link's RX stats percpu buffer right
away, but defers only the link container to RCU:
sta_info_free_link(&alloc->info);
kfree_rcu(alloc, rcu_head);
The RX fast path reads link_sta under rcu_read_lock and writes the percpu
stats. A reader that resolved link_sta before the removal keeps the
pointer. The container stays alive from the kfree_rcu, so the read still
works. But the percpu block it points to is already freed. This needs
uses_rss. That is when pcpu_rx_stats exists.
The full STA teardown frees the deflink stats only after
synchronize_net(). The link removal path had no such barrier. The race is
hard to win in practice, but the free should still wait for RCU.
Free the link together with its data from a single RCU callback, so the
percpu block is reclaimed only after readers drain.

ieee80211_build_hdr() stores an ACK status frame before it has
finished all validation and header construction. If a later error path
is taken, the transmit skb is freed but the stored ACK status frame
remains in local->ack_status_frames.
This can happen for control port frames when the requested MLO link ID
does not match the link selected for a non-MLO station. Repeated
failures can fill the ACK status IDR and leave pending ACK frames until
hardware teardown.
Remove any stored ACK status frame before returning an error after it
has been inserted into the IDR.

cfg80211_sched_scan_results() can queue rdev->sched_scan_res_wk from a
driver result notification while a scheduled scan request is present. The
work callback recovers the containing cfg80211_registered_device and then
locks the wiphy and walks the scheduled-scan request list.
wiphy_unregister() already makes the wiphy unreachable and drains rdev work
items before cfg80211_dev_free() can release the object, but it does not
drain sched_scan_res_wk. A queued or running result work item can therefore
cross the unregister/free boundary and access freed rdev state.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
scheduled-scan result path: unregister/free path:
1. cfg80211_sched_scan_results() 1. interface teardown stops and
queues rdev->sched_scan_res_wk. removes the scheduled scan request.
2. cfg80211_wq starts the work 2. wiphy_unregister() drains other
item and recovers rdev. rdev work items.
3. The worker locks rdev->wiphy 3. cfg80211_dev_free() destroys and
and walks rdev state. frees rdev.
Cancel sched_scan_res_wk in wiphy_unregister() alongside the other rdev
work items. cancel_work_sync() removes a pending result notification and
waits for an already running callback, so cfg80211_dev_free() cannot free
rdev while this work item is still active.

====================
netfilter: updates for net
The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for *net*.
Due to bug volume the plan is to make a second *net* pull request
this Friday.
1) Zero nf_conntrack_expect at allocation to prevent uninitialized data
leaks to userspace. Add missing exp->dir initialization.
2) Prevent out-of-bounds writes in nft_set_pipapo caused by inconsistent
clones during allocation failures. Fail operations if the clone enters an
error state. This was a day-0 bug.
3) Fix use-after-free race between ipset dump and array resizing. Protect
array pointer access with rcu_read_lock(). From Xiang Mei. Bug existed
since v4.20.
4) Validate skb_dst() exists before access in nf_conntrack_sip.
This Prevent crash when called from tc ingress or openvswitch.
From Pablo Neira Ayuso. Bug added in 4.3 when ovs gained support
for conntrack helpers.
5) Cap the maximum number of expectations to NF_CT_EXPECT_MAX_CNT during
userspace helper policy updates. Also from Pablo.
6) Prevent NULL pointer dereference in nft_fib on netdev egress hooks. Add
nft_fib_netdev_validate() to restrict fib expressions to appropriate
netdev hooks. Restrict nft_fib_validate() to IPv4, IPv6, and INET
protocols. From Theodor Arsenij Larionov-Trichkine.
Bug was exposed in v5.16 when egress hooks got added.
7) Restrict nfnetlink_queue writes to network headers. Validate IP/IPv6
header length and disable extension headers or IP option modifications.
Disable bridge modification for now, its unlikely anyone is using this.
8) Restrict arbitrary writes to link-layer and network headers in nftables.
Prevent link-layer modifications from spilling into network headers.
Prevent writes to IP version and length fields.
9) Restrict L3 checksum update offset to IPv4. Else csum offset can be
used to munge arbitrary header offsets, rendering the previous change moot.
These three patches are follow-ups to a 7.1 change that disabled
header rewrite ability in unprivileged network namespaces.
unprivileged netns support is not yet enabled again here.

DualPI2 leaves previous classification state attached to an skb when

on stale state from an earlier classification attempt.

sctp_free_addr_wq() previously removed addr_wq_timer using timer_delete()
while holding addr_wq_lock. However, timer_delete() does not guarantee that
a currently running timer handler has completed.
This allows a race with sctp_addr_wq_timeout_handler(), where the handler
may still run after addr_waitq has been freed, acquire addr_wq_lock, and
access freed memory, leading to a use-after-free.
Fix this by calling timer_shutdown_sync() before taking addr_wq_lock. This
guarantees that any in-flight timer handler has finished and prevents the
timer from being re-armed during teardown, making subsequent cleanup safe.

The three STP timers are not supposed to be armed while the bridge is
administratively down. They are synchronously deactivated when the
bridge is put administratively down and the various call sites check for
'IFF_UP' before arming them.
This check is missing from br_topology_change_detection() and it is
possible to engineer a situation in which the topology change timer is
armed while the bridge is administratively down, resulting in a
use-after-free [1] when the bridge is deleted.
Fix by adding the missing check and for good measures synchronously
shutdown the three timers when the bridge is deleted.

The teql master->slaves singly linked list is not protected against
multiple writes. It can be mod'ed concurently from teql_master_xmit(),
teql_dequeue(), teql_init() and teql_destroy() without holding any list
lock or RCU protection.
zdi-disclosures@trendmicro.com has demonstrated that the qdisc is freed
after an RCU grace period, but teql_master_xmit() running on another
CPU can still hold a stale pointer into the list, resulting in a
slab-use-after-free:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in teql_master_xmit+0xf0f/0x16b0
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888013fb0440 by task poc/332
Freed 512-byte region [ffff888013fb0400, ffff888013fb0600) (kmalloc-512)
The fix?
Add a per-master slaves_lock spinlock that serializes all mutations of
master->slaves and the NEXT_SLAVE() links in teql_destroy() and
teql_qdisc_init(). teql_master_xmit() also takes the same slaves_lock
around those updates.
Annotate master->slaves and the per-slave ->next pointer with __rcu and
use the appropriate RCU accessors everywhere they are touched:
rcu_assign_pointer() on the writer side (under slaves_lock),
rcu_dereference_protected() for the writer-side loads (also under
slaves_lock), rcu_dereference_bh() for the loads in teql_master_xmit() and
rtnl_dereference() for the loads in teql_master_open()/teql_master_mtu(),
which run under RTNL.
Pair this with rcu_read_lock_bh()/rcu_read_unlock_bh() around the list
traversal in teql_master_xmit(), so that readers either observe a fully
linked list or are deferred until the in-flight mutation completes. The two
early-return paths in teql_master_xmit() are updated to release the RCU-bh
read-side critical section before returning, since leaving it held would
disable BH on that CPU for good.

After previous patch, writes to network header are restricted.
However, there is another way to manipulate the l3 header: The
checksum update function.
Restrict this for network header writes, only the ipv4 header is

Don't permit arbitrary writes to linklayer and network header data.
Several spots in network stack trust header validation performed in
ipv4/ipv6 before PRE_ROUTING hook.
For linklayer, allow writes for netdev ingress. For other hooks, only
allow link layer writes that do not spill into network header.
For network header, check the offset/length combinations:
- changing dscp requires store at offset 0 for checsum fixups, so
make sure ip version + length field isn't altered.
- ip6 dscp starts directly after the version field, so make sure it
remains 6.
Several of these checks could already be done at rule insertion time.
Risk is that this might cause ruleset load failures for existing
rulesets. With this change such writes are silently skipped and packet
passes unchanged.
Transport and inner header bases are not checked / restricted.

A fib expression in a netdev egress base chain dereferences nft_in(pkt),
NULL on the transmit path, causing a NULL pointer dereference at eval.
nft_fib_validate() masks the hook with NF_INET_* values, but netdev hook
numbers are a separate enum that aliases them (NF_NETDEV_EGRESS ==
NF_INET_LOCAL_IN), so an egress chain passes validation and then faults.
Add nft_fib_netdev_validate() that limits each result/flag to the netdev
hook where the device it reads exists: the input-device cases (OIF,
OIFNAME, ADDRTYPE with F_IIF) to ingress, the output-device case (ADDRTYPE
with F_OIF) to egress, ADDRTYPE with no device flag to both. Also restrict
nft_fib_validate() to NFPROTO_IPV4/IPV6/INET so its NF_INET_* masks are
not applied to another family's hooks.

tc ingress and openvswitch do not guarantee routing information to be

the SIP helper relies on the skb_dst() to be present if

parameter).
This effectively disables the sip_external_media toggle for these
subsystems without resulting in a crash.

The release path of ip_set_dump_do() and ip_set_dump_done() read
inst->ip_set_list via ip_set_ref_netlink(), a plain rcu_dereference_raw()
of the array pointer. These run from netlink_recvmsg() without the nfnl
mutex and without an RCU read-side critical section.
A concurrent ip_set_create() can grow the array: it publishes the new
array, calls synchronize_net() and then kvfree()s the old one. Since the
dump paths read the array outside any RCU reader, synchronize_net() does
not wait for them and the old array can be freed while they still index
into it, causing a use-after-free.
The dumped set itself stays pinned via set->ref_netlink, so only the
array load needs protecting. Take rcu_read_lock() around it, matching
ip_set_get_byname() and __ip_set_put_byindex().

On memory allocation failure the cloned nft_pipapo_match can enter a bad
state:
- some fields can have their lookup tables resized while others did
not
- bits might have been toggled
- scratch map can be undersized which also means m->bsize_max can be
lower than what is required
This means that the next insertion in the same batch can trigger
out-of-bounds writes.
Furthermore, a failure in the first can result in the bad clone to
leak into the next transaction because the abort callback is never
executed in this case (the upper layer saw an error and no attempt to
allocate a transactional request was made).
Record a state for the nft_pipapo_match structure:
- NEW (pristine clone)
- MOD (modified clone with good state)
- ERR (potentially bogus content)
Then make it so that deletes and insertions fail when the clone
entered ERR state.
In case the very first insert attempt results in an error, free the
clone right away.

The md5+ao reconciliation in tcp_connect() (net/ipv4/tcp_output.c)
has two symmetric branches:
if (needs_md5) {
tcp_ao_destroy_sock(sk, false);
} else if (needs_ao) {
tcp_clear_md5_list(sk);
kfree(rcu_replace_pointer(tp->md5sig_info, NULL, ...));
}
Both branches free a per-socket auth-info object while the socket is
in TCP_SYN_SENT and is already on the inet ehash (inserted by
inet_hash_connect() in tcp_v4_connect()). Both branches are reachable
by softirq RX-path readers that load the corresponding info pointer
via implicit RCU before bh_lock_sock_nested() is taken.
The needs_md5 branch is fixed in the prior patch by re-introducing
the call_rcu() free in tcp_ao_destroy_sock(): the equivalent per-key
loop runs inside tcp_ao_info_free_rcu(), the RCU callback, so by the
time it frees each tcp_ao_key all softirq readers that captured the
container have already completed rcu_read_unlock().
The needs_ao branch is not symmetric in the same way. The container
free can be deferred via kfree_rcu(md5sig, rcu) -- struct
tcp_md5sig_info already has the required rcu member
(include/net/tcp.h:1999-2002), and the rest of the tree already does
this in the tcp_md5sig_info_add() rollback paths
(net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:1410, 1436). But the per-key teardown is done
by tcp_clear_md5_list() in process context BEFORE the container's
RCU grace period: it walks &md5sig->head and frees each
tcp_md5sig_key with bare hlist_del + kfree. A concurrent softirq
reader in __tcp_md5_do_lookup() / __tcp_md5_do_lookup_exact()
(tcp_ipv4.c:1253, 1298) walks the same list via
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() and races with that bare kfree on the
keys themselves -- a per-key slab use-after-free of the same class
as the TCP-AO bug, on the same race window.
Fix this in two halves:
1. Convert the bare kfree() in tcp_connect() to kfree_rcu() so the
md5sig_info container joins the rest of the md5sig lifecycle.
The local-variable lift is mechanical and required because
kfree_rcu() is a macro that expects an lvalue.
2. Make tcp_clear_md5_list() RCU-safe by replacing hlist_del +
kfree(key) with hlist_del_rcu + kfree_rcu(key, rcu). struct
tcp_md5sig_key already carries the rcu member
(include/net/tcp.h:1995) and tcp_md5_do_del()
(net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:1456) already uses kfree_rcu, so this
restores the lifecycle invariant the rest of the file follows
rather than introducing a one-off.
The other caller of tcp_clear_md5_list() is tcp_md5_destruct_sock()
(net/ipv4/tcp.c:412), which runs from the sock destructor when the
socket is already unhashed and unreachable; the extra grace period
there is unnecessary but harmless. Making the helper unconditionally
RCU-safe is the cleaner contract.
The needs_ao branch is not reachable by the userns reproducer used
to demonstrate the AO-side splat (the repro installs both keys but
ends up in the needs_md5 branch because the connect peer matches
the MD5 key, not the AO key); however the symmetric race exists
and a maintainer touching this code should not have to think about
which branch escapes RCU and which one does not.

Commit 51e547e8c8 ("tcp: Free TCP-AO/TCP-MD5 info/keys without RCU")
removed the call_rcu() callback from tcp_ao_destroy_sock(), arguing that
"the destruction of info/keys is delayed until the socket destructor"
and therefore "no one can discover it anymore".
That argument does not hold for the call site in tcp_connect()
(net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:4327-4332). At that point the socket is in
TCP_SYN_SENT, has already been inserted into the inet ehash by
inet_hash_connect() in tcp_v4_connect(), and is therefore very much
discoverable: any softirq running tcp_v4_rcv() on another CPU can take
the socket out of the ehash, walk into tcp_inbound_hash(), and load
tp->ao_info via implicit RCU before bh_lock_sock_nested() is taken on
the destroying CPU.
The reader path then enters __tcp_ao_do_lookup() (net/ipv4/tcp_ao.c:208)
which re-loads tp->ao_info via rcu_dereference_check(); the re-load can
still observe the (about-to-be-freed) pointer because there is no
synchronize_rcu() between rcu_assign_pointer(tp->ao_info, NULL) and
tcp_ao_info_free() in tcp_ao_destroy_sock(). The captured pointer is
then walked at line 223:
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(key, &ao->head, node, ...)
The writer's synchronous kfree() is free to complete between the line
218 re-fetch and the line 223 hlist iteration. The slab is reused
(or simply LIST_POISON1-stamped if not yet reused) and the iteration
walks attacker-controlled or poison memory in softirq context.
Reproducer (no debug shim, stock x86_64 v7.1-rc2 SMP+KASAN, QEMU+KVM):
an unprivileged uid=1000 process inside CLONE_NEWUSER|CLONE_NEWNET
installs TCP_MD5SIG + TCP_AO_ADD_KEY on a TCP socket, sprays forged
TCP-AO segments toward its eventual 4-tuple via raw sockets, then
calls connect(). The md5-wins reconciliation in tcp_connect() fires
tcp_ao_destroy_sock(); the softirq backlog reader on the loopback
NAPI path crashes on the freed ao->head.first walk:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical

Restore the RCU grace period: re-add struct rcu_head to tcp_ao_info
and replace the synchronous tcp_ao_info_free() with a call_rcu()
callback. Readers that captured tp->ao_info before rcu_assign_pointer
NULLed it now see the object remain valid until rcu_read_unlock().
With the patch applied the reproducer runs cleanly for 2000 iterations
on the same kernel build.

A broadcast PROTOCOL/STATE_MSG can carry a Gap ACK blocks record in its
data area. tipc_get_gap_ack_blks() only verifies that the record's len
field is self-consistent with its ugack_cnt/bgack_cnt counts
(sz == struct_size(p, gacks, ugack_cnt + bgack_cnt)); it does not check
that the record actually fits in the message data area, msg_data_sz().
The unicast caller tipc_link_proto_rcv() bounds it ("if (glen > dlen)
break;"), but the broadcast caller tipc_bcast_sync_rcv() discards the
returned size, so tipc_link_advance_transmq() copies the record off the
receive skb with an attacker-controlled count:
this_ga = kmemdup(ga, struct_size(ga, gacks, ga->bgack_cnt),
GFP_ATOMIC);
A TIPC neighbour that negotiated TIPC_GAP_ACK_BLOCK triggers it with one
ordinary broadcast STATE_MSG (msg_bc_ack_invalid() clear), sized so its
data area is short, carrying a Gap ACK record with len = 0x400,
bgack_cnt = 0xff and ugack_cnt = 0. len then equals
struct_size(p, gacks, 255), so the consistency check passes and ga is
non-NULL; kmemdup() reads struct_size(ga, gacks, 255) = 1024 bytes out
of the much smaller skb:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kmemdup_noprof+0x48/0x60

The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff0000c7030d00
which belongs to the cache skbuff_small_head of size 704
The buggy address is located 56 bytes inside of
allocated 704-byte region [ffff0000c7030d00, ffff0000c7030fc0)
The copied-out bytes are subsequently consumed as gap/ack values, but
the read is already out of bounds at the kmemdup() regardless of how
they are used.
The unicast STATE path drops such a message: "if (glen > dlen) break;"
skips the rest of STATE_MSG handling and the skb is freed. Make the
broadcast path drop it too. tipc_bcast_sync_rcv() now bounds the record
against msg_data_sz() and, when it does not fit, reports it back through
tipc_node_bc_sync_rcv() to tipc_rcv() so the skb is discarded rather than
processed. ga is not cleared on this path: ga == NULL already means
"legacy peer without Selective ACK", a distinct legitimate state.

When batadv_get_vid() accesses the proto field of the ethernet header, it
is not checking if the data itself is accessible. The caller is responsible
for it. But in contrast to other call sites, batadv_dat_get_vid() and its
caller didn't make sure this is true. This could have caused an
out-of-bounds access.

The tag_8021q.c tagger calls vlan_insert_tag() in dsa_8021q_xmit().
vlan_insert_tag() will consume the skb with kfree_skb() on failure
and return NULL.
When NULL is returned as error code to ->xmit() in dsa_user_xmit()
it will free the same skb again leading to a double-free.
The idea of dsa_user_xmit() and dsa_switch_rcv() dropping the skb
they held before the call to ->xmit() and ->rcv() is conceptually
wrong: the pattern elsewhere in the networking code is that consumers
drop their skb:s on failure.
Modify the ->xmit() and ->rcv() call sites to not drop the SKB if
the taggers return NULL from any of these calls. Move those drops into
the taggers so every callback error path that retains ownership consumes
the skb before returning NULL.
Keep the existing helper ownership rules: VLAN insertion helpers already
free on failure (this is the case in tag_8021q.c), while deferred
transmit paths either transfer the skb reference to worker context or
hold a worker reference with skb_get() and drop the caller's reference.
For SJA1105 meta RX, transfer the buffered stampable skb under the meta
lock and return NULL while the skb is waiting for its meta frame: the
skb is not dropped in this case.
NOTICE: Backporting patches to taggers (e.g. for stable kernels) after
this point cannot be mechanical or they will introduce double
kfree_skb().

In SCTP handshake, the INIT chunk is initially processed by the server
and embedded into the cookie carried in INIT-ACK. The client then
returns this cookie via COOKIE-ECHO, where the server unpacks it and
reconstructs the original INIT chunk.
When cookie authentication is enabled, the cookie contents are protected
against tampering, so reusing the unpacked INIT without re-verification
is safe.
However, when cookie authentication is disabled, the reconstructed INIT
can no longer be trusted. In this case, the INIT must be explicitly
validated after unpacking to avoid processing potentially tampered data.
Add sctp_verify_init() checks after cookie unpacking in COOKIE-ECHO
processing paths (sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce() and sctp_sf_do_5_2_4_dupcook())
when cookie_auth_enable is disabled. On failure, the new association is
freed and the packet is discarded.
Also tighten cookie validation in sctp_unpack_cookie() by verifying the
embedded chunk type is SCTP_CID_INIT before treating it as an INIT
chunk.
Finally, update sctp_verify_init() to validate parameter bounds using
the actual embedded INIT length instead of chunk->chunk_end, since the
INIT stored in COOKIE-ECHO may not span the entire chunk buffer.

There is a use-after-free error on netpoll, which is clearly detected by

The problem happens when there is a pending TX worker running in
parallel with the cleanup path.
This is what happens on netpoll shutdown path:
1) __netpoll_cleanup() is called
2) set dev->npinfo to NULL
3) call_rcu() with rcu_cleanup_netpoll_info()
3.1) rcu_cleanup_netpoll_info() tries to cancel all workers with
cancel_delayed_work(), but doesn't wait for the worker to finish
4) and kfree(npinfo);
Because 3.1) doesn't really cancel the work, as the comment says "we
can't call cancel_delayed_work_sync here, as we are in softirq", the TX
worker can run after 4).
Tl;DR: queue_process() is not an RCU reader, it reaches npinfo through
the work item via container_of().
Use disable_delayed_work_sync() to ensure the worker is completely
stopped and prevent any future re-arming attempts. Once npinfo is set
to NULL, senders will bail out and not queue new work. The disable flag
ensures any in-flight re-arming attempts also fail silently.
In the future, we can do the cleanup inline here without needing the
npinfo->rcu rcu_head, but that is net-next material.

SCTP_RESET_STREAMS carries a flexible array of u16 stream IDs, but the
optlen clamps treat USHRT_MAX as a byte count and then multiply
sizeof(__u16) by the fixed header size.
That caps the copied and validated option buffer at about 64 KiB, which
rejects valid requests containing more than about half of the u16 stream
ID range.
Use struct_size_t() for the maximum struct sctp_reset_streams layout
instead, so the bound matches the flexible array described by
srs_number_streams.

multiq_dequeue() takes a packet from a band's child with a direct
->dequeue() call after multiq_peek() peeked it. When the child is
non-work-conserving the peek stashes the skb in the child's gso_skb, so
the direct dequeue returns a different skb and orphans the stash,
desyncing the child's qlen/backlog. With a qfq child reached through a
peeking parent (e.g. tbf) this re-enters the child on an emptied list and
dereferences NULL, panicking the kernel from softirq on ordinary egress.
Take the packet through qdisc_dequeue_peeked(), as sch_prio already does
and as sch_red and sch_sfb were just fixed to do. The helper is a no-op
when the child has no stash, so a work-conserving child is unaffected.
