* keys: Pass the network namespace into request_key mechanismDavid Howells2019-06-271-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Create a request_key_net() function and use it to pass the network namespace domain tag into DNS revolver keys and rxrpc/AFS keys so that keys for different domains can coexist in the same keyring.

* dns_resolver: Allow used keys to be invalidatedDavid Howells2019-05-151-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow used DNS resolver keys to be invalidated after use if the caller is doing its own caching of the results. This reduces the amount of resources required. Fix AFS to invalidate DNS results to kill off permanent failure records that get lodged in the resolver keyring and prevent future lookups from happening.

* dns: Allow the dns resolver to retrieve a server setDavid Howells2018-10-041-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow the DNS resolver to retrieve a set of servers and their associated addresses, ports, preference and weight ratings. In terms of communication with userspace, "srv=1" is added to the callout string (the '1' indicating the maximum data version supported by the kernel) to ask the userspace side for this. If the userspace side doesn't recognise it, it will ignore the option and return the usual text address list. If the userspace side does recognise it, it will return some binary data that begins with a zero byte that would cause the string parsers to give an error. The second byte contains the version of the data in the blob (this may be between 1 and the version specified in the callout data). The remainder of the payload is version-specific. In version 1, the payload looks like (note that this is packed): u8 Non-string marker (ie. 0) u8 Content (0 => Server list) u8 Version (ie. 1) u8 Source (eg. DNS_RECORD_FROM_DNS_SRV) u8 Status (eg. DNS_LOOKUP_GOOD) u8 Number of servers foreach-server { u16 Name length (LE) u16 Priority (as per SRV record) (LE) u16 Weight (as per SRV record) (LE) u16 Port (LE) u8 Source (eg. DNS_RECORD_FROM_NSS) u8 Status (eg. DNS_LOOKUP_GOT_NOT_FOUND) u8 Protocol (eg. DNS_SERVER_PROTOCOL_UDP) u8 Number of addresses char[] Name (not NUL-terminated) foreach-address { u8 Family (AF_INET{,6}) union { u8[4] ipv4_addr u8[16] ipv6_addr } } } This can then be used to fetch a whole cell's VL-server configuration for AFS, for example.

* net: dns_resolver: convert time_t to time64_tAya Mahfouz2015-11-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Changes the definition of the pointer _expiry from time_t to time64_t. This is to handle the Y2038 problem where time_t will overflow in the year 2038. The change is safe because the kernel subsystems that call dns_query pass NULL.

* DNS: Separate out CIFS DNS Resolver codeWang Lei2010-08-051-0/+34
Separate out the DNS resolver key type from the CIFS filesystem into its own module so that it can be made available for general use, including the AFS filesystem module. This facility makes it possible for the kernel to upcall to userspace to have it issue DNS requests, package up the replies and present them to the kernel in a useful form. The kernel is then able to cache the DNS replies as keys can be retained in keyrings. Resolver keys are of type "dns_resolver" and have a case-insensitive description that is of the form "[<type>:]<domain_name>". The optional <type> indicates the particular DNS lookup and packaging that's required. The <domain_name> is the query to be made. If <type> isn't given, a basic hostname to IP address lookup is made, and the result is stored in the key in the form of a printable string consisting of a comma-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This key type is supported by userspace helpers driven from /sbin/request-key and configured through /etc/request-key.conf. The cifs.upcall utility is invoked for UNC path server name to IP address resolution. The CIFS functionality is encapsulated by the dns_resolve_unc_to_ip() function, which is used to resolve a UNC path to an IP address for CIFS filesystem. This part remains in the CIFS module for now. See the added Documentation/networking/dns_resolver.txt for more information.
