* netlink: Convert netlink_lookup() to use RCU protected hash tableThomas Graf2014-08-023-195/+119
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Heavy Netlink users such as Open vSwitch spend a considerable amount of time in netlink_lookup() due to the read-lock on nl_table_lock. Use of RCU relieves the lock contention. Makes use of the new resizable hash table to avoid locking on the lookup. The hash table will grow if entries exceeds 75% of table size up to a total table size of 64K. It will automatically shrink if usage falls below 30%. Also splits nl_table_lock into a separate mutex to protect hash table mutations and allow synchronize_rcu() to sleep while waiting for readers during expansion and shrinking.

| * netlink: Fix handling of error from netlink_dump().Ben Pfaff2014-07-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | netlink_dump() returns a negative errno value on error. Until now, netlink_recvmsg() directly recorded that negative value in sk->sk_err, but that's wrong since sk_err takes positive errno values. (This manifests as userspace receiving a positive return value from the recv() system call, falsely indicating success.) This bug was introduced in the commit that started checking the netlink_dump() return value, commit b44d211 (netlink: handle errors from netlink_dump()). Multithreaded Netlink dumps are one way to trigger this behavior in practice, as described in the commit message for the userspace workaround posted here: http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2014-June/042339.html This commit also fixes the same bug in netlink_poll(), introduced in commit cd1df525d (netlink: add flow control for memory mapped I/O).

To prevent this we check that both the creator of the socket and the currentl applications has permission to reconfigure the network stack. Unfortunately this breaks Zebra which always uses sendto/sendmsg and creates it's socket without any privileges. To keep Zebra working don't bother checking if the creator of the socket has privilege when a destination address is specified. Instead rely exclusively on the privileges of the sender of the socket. Note from Andy: This is exactly Eric's code except for some comment clarifications and formatting fixes. Neither I nor, I think, anyone else is thrilled with this approach, but I'm hesitant to wait on a better fix since 3.15 is almost here. Note to stable maintainers: This is a mess. An earlier series of patches in 3.15 fix a rather serious security issue (CVE-2014-0181), but they did so in a way that breaks Zebra.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Have the netlink per-protocol optional bind function return an int error code rather than void to signal a failure. This will enable netlink protocols to perform extra checks including capabilities and permissions verifications when updating memberships in multicast groups. In netlink_bind() and netlink_setsockopt() the call to the per-protocol bind function was moved above the multicast group update to prevent any access to the multicast socket groups before checking with the per-protocol bind function. This will enable the per-protocol bind function to be used to check permissions which could be denied before making them available, and to avoid the messy job of undoing the addition should the per-protocol bind function fail. The netfilter subsystem seems to be the only one currently using the per-protocol bind function. Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.David S. Miller2014-04-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like: skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb); sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len); But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially to freed up memory. Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is possible that the value isn't accurate. And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and even '1'. So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get fixed as a side effect. Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this issue tree-wide. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* netlink: autosize skb lengthesEric Dumazet2014-03-102-1/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One known problem with netlink is the fact that NLMSG_GOODSIZE is really small on PAGE_SIZE==4096 architectures, and it is difficult to know in advance what buffer size is used by the application. This patch adds an automatic learning of the size. First netlink message will still be limited to ~4K, but if user used bigger buffers, then following messages will be able to use up to 16KB. This speedups dump() operations by a large factor and should be safe for legacy applications.

"to user". At the time we invoke __netlink_deliver_tap_skb(), we already have set the new skb owner via netlink_skb_set_owner_r(), so we can use that for netlink_is_kernel() probing. In normal PF_PACKET network traffic, this field denotes if the packet is destined for us (PACKET_HOST), if it's broadcast (PACKET_BROADCAST), etc. As we only have 3 bit reserved, we can use the value (= 6) of PACKET_FASTROUTE as it's _not used_ anywhere in the whole kernel and not supported anywhere, and packets of such type were never exposed to user space, so there are no overlapping users of such kind. Thus, as wished, that seems the only way to make both PACKET_* values non-overlapping and therefore device agnostic. By using those two flags for netlink skbs on nlmon devices, they can be made available and picked up via sll_pkttype (previously unused in netlink context) in struct sockaddr_ll. We now have these two directions: - PACKET_USER (= 6) -> to user space - PACKET_KERNEL (= 7) -> to kernel space Partial `ip a` example strace for sa_family=AF_NETLINK with detected nl msg direction: syscall: direction: sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 3404 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 1120 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */ sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 168 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 144 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */ Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Zawadzki <darkjames-ws@darkjames.pl> Signed-off-by: David S.

Make it use the correct API, but since this may already be used as-is by userspace, reserve a family ID for this code and also reserve that group ID to not break userspace assumptions. My previous patch broke event delivery in the driver as I missed that it wasn't using the right API and forgot to update it later in my series. While changing this, I noticed that the genetlink code could use the static group ID instead of a strcmp(), so also do that for the VFS_DQUOT family.

* net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logicHannes Frederic Sowa2013-11-201-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) to return msg_name to the user. This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak uninitialized memory. Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets msg_name to NULL. Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David Miller. Changes since RFC: Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of verify_iovec. With this change in place I could remove " if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0) msg->msg_name = NULL ". This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL. Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change comments to netdev style.

Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.

* quota/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIsJohannes Berg2013-11-191-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The quota code is abusing the genetlink API and is using its family ID as the multicast group ID, which is invalid and may belong to somebody else (and likely will.) Make the quota code use the correct API, but since this is already used as-is by userspace, reserve a family ID for this code and also reserve that group ID to not break userspace assumptions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The drop monitor code is abusing the genetlink API and is statically using the generic netlink multicast group 1, even if that group belongs to somebody else (which it invariably will, since it's not reserved.) Make the drop monitor code use the proper APIs to reserve a group ID, but also reserve the group id 1 in generic netlink code to preserve the userspace API. Since drop monitor can be a module, don't clear the bit for it on unregistration.

* genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops()Johannes Berg2013-11-191-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops() a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the macro, this is a little safer. The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

* genetlink: unify registration functionsJohannes Berg2013-11-151-37/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the ops assignment is just two variables rather than a long list iteration etc., there's no reason to separately export __genl_register_family() and __genl_register_family_with_ops(). Unify the two functions into __genl_register_family() and make genl_register_family_with_ops() call it after assigning the ops.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Allow making the ops array const by not modifying the ops flags on registration but rather only when ops are sent out in the family information.

* genetlink: register family ops as arrayJohannes Berg2013-11-141-45/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of using a linked list, use an array. This reduces the data size needed by the users of genetlink, for example in wireless (net/wireless/nl80211.c) on 64-bit it frees up over 1K of data space. Remove the attempted sending of CTRL_CMD_NEWOPS ctrl event since genl_ctrl_event(CTRL_CMD_NEWOPS, ...) only returns -EINVAL anyway, therefore no such event could ever be sent.

If later on, other subsystems decide they want to add their protocol as well to the list of allowed protocols they shall simply add it. While at it, we also need to tell what protocol is in use otherwise BPF_S_ANC_PROTOCOL can not pick it up (as it's not filled out).

| * genl: Hold reference on correct module while netlink-dump.Pravin B Shelar2013-08-281-9/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | netlink dump operations take module as parameter to hold reference for entire netlink dump duration. Currently it holds ref only on genl module which is not correct when we use ops registered to genl from another module. Following patch adds module pointer to genl_ops so that netlink can hold ref count on it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of genl-family with parallel ops off, dumpif() callback is expected to run under genl_lock, But commit def3117493eafd9df (genl: Allow concurrent genl callbacks.) changed this behaviour where only first dumpit() op was called under genl-lock. For subsequent dump, only nlk->cb_lock was taken. Following patch fixes it by defining locked dumpit() and done() callback which takes care of genl-locking.
