UDP-Lite supports variable-length checksum and has two socket
options, UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV and UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV, to control
the checksum coverage.

Let's remove the support.

setsockopt(UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV / UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV) was only
available for UDP-Lite and returned -ENOPROTOOPT for UDP.

Now, the options are handled in ip_setsockopt() and
ipv6_setsockopt(), which still return the same error.

getsockopt(UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV / UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV) was available
for UDP and always returned 0, meaning full checksum, but now
-ENOPROTOOPT is returned.

Given that getsockopt() is meaningless for UDP and even the options
are not defined under include/uapi/, this should not be a problem.

  $ man 7 udplite
  ...
  BUGS
       Where glibc support is missing, the following definitions
       are needed:

           #define IPPROTO_UDPLITE     136
           #define UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV  10
           #define UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV  11

<content type='text'>
UDP TX paths also have some code for UDP-Lite partial
checksum:

  * udplite_csum() in udp_send_skb() and udp_v6_send_skb()
  * udplite_getfrag() in udp_sendmsg() and udpv6_sendmsg()

Let's remove such code.

Now, we can use IPPROTO_UDP directly instead of sk-&gt;sk_protocol
or fl6-&gt;flowi6_proto for csum_tcpudp_magic() and csum_ipv6_magic().

UDP-Lite supports the partial checksum and the coverage is
stored in the position of the length field of struct udphdr.

In RX paths, udp4_csum_init() / udp6_csum_init() save the value
in UDP_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;cscov and set UDP_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;partial_cov
to 1 if the coverage is not full.

The subsequent processing diverges depending on the value,
but such paths are now dead.

Also, these functions have some code guarded for UDP:

  * udp_unicast_rcv_skb / udp6_unicast_rcv_skb
  * __udp4_lib_rcv() and __udp6_lib_rcv().

Let's remove the partial csum code and the unnecessary
guard for UDP-Lite in RX.

<content type='text'>
We have deprecated IPv6 UDP-Lite sockets.

Let's drop support for IPv4 UDP-Lite sockets as well.

Most of the changes are similar to the IPv6 patch: removing
udplite.c and udp_impl.h, marking most functions in udp_impl.h
as static, moving the prototype for udp_recvmsg() to udp.h, and
adding INDIRECT_CALLABLE_SCOPE for it.

In addition, the INET_DIAG support for UDP-Lite is dropped.

We will remove the remaining dead code in the following patches.

udp-&gt;pcflag, udp-&gt;pcslen and udp-&gt;pcrlen reads/writes are racy.

Move udp-&gt;pcflag to udp-&gt;udp_flags for atomicity,

<title>tcp/udp: Call inet6_destroy_sock() in IPv6 sk-&gt;sk_destruct().</title>

<content type='text'>
Originally, inet6_sk(sk)-&gt;XXX were changed under lock_sock(), so we were
able to clean them up by calling inet6_destroy_sock() during the IPv6 -&gt;
IPv4 conversion by IPV6_ADDRFORM.  However, commit 03485f2adcde ("udpv6:
Add lockless sendmsg() support") added a lockless memory allocation path,
which could cause a memory leak:

setsockopt(IPV6_ADDRFORM)                 sendmsg()
+-----------------------+                 +-------+
- do_ipv6_setsockopt(sk, ...)             - udpv6_sendmsg(sk, ...)
  - sockopt_lock_sock(sk)                   ^._ called via udpv6_prot
    - lock_sock(sk)                             before WRITE_ONCE()
  - WRITE_ONCE(sk-&gt;sk_prot, &amp;tcp_prot)
  - inet6_destroy_sock()                    - if (!corkreq)
  - sockopt_release_sock(sk)                  - ip6_make_skb(sk, ...)
    - release_sock(sk)                          ^._ lockless fast path for
                                                    the non-corking case

                                                - __ip6_append_data(sk, ...)
                                                  - ipv6_local_rxpmtu(sk, ...)
                                                    - xchg(&amp;np-&gt;rxpmtu, skb)
                                                      ^._ rxpmtu is never freed.

                                                - goto out_no_dst;

                                            - lock_sock(sk)

For now, rxpmtu is only the case, but not to miss the future change
and a similar bug fixed in commit e27326009a3d ("net: ping6: Fix
memleak in ipv6_renew_options()."), let's set a new function to IPv6
sk-&gt;sk_destruct() and call inet6_cleanup_sock() there.  Since the
conversion does not change sk-&gt;sk_destruct(), we can guarantee that
we can clean up IPv6 resources finally.

We can now remove all inet6_destroy_sock() calls from IPv6 protocol
specific -&gt;destroy() functions, but such changes are invasive to
backport.  So they can be posted as a follow-up later for net-next.

<content type='text'>
Since UDP-Lite is always using checksum, the following path is
triggered when calculating pseudo header for it:

  udp4_csum_init() or udp6_csum_init()
    skb_checksum_init_zero_check()
      __skb_checksum_validate_complete()

The problem can appear if skb-&gt;len is less than CHECKSUM_BREAK. In
this particular case __skb_checksum_validate_complete() also invokes
__skb_checksum_complete(skb). If UDP-Lite is using partial checksum
that covers only part of a packet, the function will return bad
checksum and the packet will be dropped.

It can be fixed if we skip skb_checksum_init_zero_check() and only
set the required pseudo header checksum for UDP-Lite with partial
checksum before udp4_csum_init()/udp6_csum_init() functions return.
