af_netlink: ensure that NLMSG_DONE never fails in dumps

2017-11-24T07:35:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0642840b8bb008528dbdf929cec9f65ac4231ad0 ] The way people generally use netlink_dump is that they fill in the skb as much as possible, breaking when nla_put returns an error. Then, they get called again and start filling out the next skb, and again, and so forth. The mechanism at work here is the ability for the iterative dumping function to detect when the skb is filled up and not fill it past the brim, waiting for a fresh skb for the rest of the data. However, if the attributes are small and nicely packed, it is possible that a dump callback function successfully fills in attributes until the skb is of size 4080 (libmnl's default page-sized receive buffer size). The dump function completes, satisfied, and then, if it happens to be that this is actually the last skb, and no further ones are to be sent, then netlink_dump will add on the NLMSG_DONE part: nlh = nlmsg_put_answer(skb, cb, NLMSG_DONE, sizeof(len), NLM_F_MULTI); It is very important that netlink_dump does this, of course. However, in this example, that call to nlmsg_put_answer will fail, because the previous filling by the dump function did not leave it enough room. And how could it possibly have done so? All of the nla_put variety of functions simply check to see if the skb has enough tailroom, independent of the context it is in. In order to keep the important assumptions of all netlink dump users, it is therefore important to give them an skb that has this end part of the tail already reserved, so that the call to nlmsg_put_answer does not fail. Otherwise, library authors are forced to find some bizarre sized receive buffer that has a large modulo relative to the common sizes of messages received, which is ugly and buggy. This patch thus saves the NLMSG_DONE for an additional message, for the case that things are dangerously close to the brim. This requires keeping track of the errno from ->dump() across calls.

netlink: fix netlink_ack() extack race

2017-11-18T10:30:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 48044eb490be71c203e14dd89e8bae87209eab52 ] It seems that it's possible to toggle NETLINK_F_EXT_ACK through setsockopt() while another thread/CPU is building a message inside netlink_ack(), which could then trigger the WARN_ON()s I added since if it goes from being turned off to being turned on between allocating and filling the message, the skb could end up being too small. Avoid this whole situation by storing the value of this flag in a separate variable and using that throughout the function instead.

netlink: do not set cb_running if dump's start() errs

2017-11-18T10:30:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 41c87425a1ac9b633e0fcc78eb1f19640c8fb5a0 ] It turns out that multiple places can call netlink_dump(), which means it's still possible to dereference partially initialized values in dump() that were the result of a faulty returned start(). This fixes the issue by calling start() _before_ setting cb_running to true, so that there's no chance at all of hitting the dump() function through any indirect paths. It also moves the call to start() to be when the mutex is held. This has the nice side effect of serializing invocations to start(), which is likely desirable anyway. It also prevents any possible other races that might come out of this logic. In testing this with several different pieces of tricky code to trigger these issues, this commit fixes all avenues that I'm aware of. Signed-off-by: Jason A.

netlink: do not proceed if dump's start() errs

2017-10-12T09:56:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit fef0035c0f31322d417d1954bba5ab959bf91183 ] Drivers that use the start method for netlink dumping rely on dumpit not being called if start fails. For example, ila_xlat.c allocates memory and assigns it to cb->args[0] in its start() function. It might fail to do that and return -ENOMEM instead. However, even when returning an error, dumpit will be called, which, in the example above, quickly dereferences the memory in cb->args[0], which will OOPS the kernel. This is but one example of how this goes wrong. Since start() has always been a function with an int return type, it therefore makes sense to use it properly, rather than ignoring it. This patch thus returns early and does not call dumpit() when start() fails. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld Cc: Johannes Berg Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

net: convert sock.sk_refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-07-01T14:39:08+00:00

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free situations. This patch uses refcount_inc_not_zero() instead of atomic_inc_not_zero_hint() due to absense of a _hint() version of refcount API. If the hint() version must be used, we might need to revisit API.

networking: make skb_put & friends return void pointers

2017-06-16T15:48:39+00:00

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *, and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not. Make these functions (skb_put, __skb_put and pskb_put) return void * and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the following spatch: @@ expression SKB, LEN; typedef u8; identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put }; @@ - *(fn(SKB, LEN)) + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression E, SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put }; type T; @@ - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN))) + E = fn(SKB, LEN) which actually doesn't cover pskb_put since there are only three users overall. A handful of stragglers were converted manually, notably a macro in drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_bsdcomp.c and, oddly enough, one of the many instances in net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c. In the former file, I also had to fix one whitespace problem spatch introduced. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

networking: introduce and use skb_put_data()

2017-06-16T15:48:37+00:00

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy() some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for this. An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many of the places using it: @@ identifier p, p2; expression len, skb, data; type t, t2; @@ ( -p = skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len); | -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len); ) ( p2 = (t2)p; -memcpy(p2, data, len); | -memcpy(p, data, len); ) @@ type t, t2; identifier p, p2; expression skb, data; @@ t *p; ... ( -p = skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t)); | -p = (t *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t)); ) ( p2 = (t2)p; -memcpy(p2, data, sizeof(*p)); | -memcpy(p, data, sizeof(*p)); ) @@ expression skb, len, data; @@ -memcpy(skb_put(skb, len), data, len); +skb_put_data(skb, data, len); (again, manually post-processed to retain some comments) Reviewed-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

netlink: don't send unknown nsid

2017-06-01T15:49:39+00:00

The NETLINK_F_LISTEN_ALL_NSID otion enables to listen all netns that have a nsid assigned into the netns where the netlink socket is opened. The nsid is sent as metadata to userland, but the existence of this nsid is checked only for netns that are different from the socket netns. Thus, if no nsid is assigned to the socket netns, NETNSA_NSID_NOT_ASSIGNED is reported to the userland. This value is confusing and useless. After this patch, only valid nsid are sent to userland.
