2020-02-29net: ipv6: mld: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array memberGustavo A. R. Silva
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2014-09-22ipv6: mld: answer mldv2 queries with mldv1 reports in mldv1 fallbackDaniel Borkmann
RFC2710 (MLDv1), section 3.7. says: The length of a received MLD message is computed by taking the IPv6 Payload Length value and subtracting the length of any IPv6 extension headers present between the IPv6 header and the MLD message. If that length is greater than 24 octets, that indicates that there are other fields present *beyond* the fields described above, perhaps belonging to a *future backwards-compatible* version of MLD. An implementation of the version of MLD specified in this document *MUST NOT* send an MLD message longer than 24 octets and MUST ignore anything past the first 24 octets of a received MLD message. RFC3810 (MLDv2), section 8.2.1. states for *listeners* regarding presence of MLDv1 routers: In order to be compatible with MLDv1 routers, MLDv2 hosts MUST operate in version 1 compatibility mode. [...] When Host Compatibility Mode is MLDv2, a host acts using the MLDv2 protocol on that interface. When Host Compatibility Mode is MLDv1, a host acts in MLDv1 compatibility mode, using *only* the MLDv1 protocol, on that interface. [...] While section 8.3.1. specifies *router* behaviour regarding presence of MLDv1 routers: MLDv2 routers may be placed on a network where there is at least one MLDv1 router. The following requirements apply: If an MLDv1 router is present on the link, the Querier MUST use the *lowest* version of MLD present on the network. This must be administratively assured. Routers that desire to be compatible with MLDv1 MUST have a configuration option to act in MLDv1 mode; if an MLDv1 router is present on the link, the system administrator must explicitly configure all MLDv2 routers to act in MLDv1 mode. When in MLDv1 mode, the Querier MUST send periodic General Queries truncated at the Multicast Address field (i.e., 24 bytes long), and SHOULD also warn about receiving an MLDv2 Query (such warnings must be rate-limited). The Querier MUST also fill in the Maximum Response Delay in the Maximum Response Code field, i.e., the exponential algorithm described in section 5.1.3. is not used. [...] That means that we should not get queries from different versions of MLD. When there's a MLDv1 router present, MLDv2 enforces truncation and MRC == MRD (both fields are overlapping within the 24 octet range). Section 8.3.2. specifies behaviour in the presence of MLDv1 multicast address *listeners*: MLDv2 routers may be placed on a network where there are hosts that have not yet been upgraded to MLDv2. In order to be compatible with MLDv1 hosts, MLDv2 routers MUST operate in version 1 compatibility mode. MLDv2 routers keep a compatibility mode per multicast address record. The compatibility mode of a multicast address is determined from the Multicast Address Compatibility Mode variable, which can be in one of the two following states: MLDv1 or MLDv2. The Multicast Address Compatibility Mode of a multicast address record is set to MLDv1 whenever an MLDv1 Multicast Listener Report is *received* for that multicast address. At the same time, the Older Version Host Present timer for the multicast address is set to Older Version Host Present Timeout seconds. The timer is re-set whenever a new MLDv1 Report is received for that multicast address. If the Older Version Host Present timer expires, the router switches back to Multicast Address Compatibility Mode of MLDv2 for that multicast address. [...] That means, what can happen is the following scenario, that hosts can act in MLDv1 compatibility mode when they previously have received an MLDv1 query (or, simply operate in MLDv1 mode-only); and at the same time, an MLDv2 router could start up and transmits MLDv2 startup query messages while being unaware of the current operational mode. Given RFC2710, section 3.7 we would need to answer to that with an MLDv1 listener report, so that the router according to RFC3810, section 8.3.2. would receive that and internally switch to MLDv1 compatibility as well. Right now, I believe since the initial implementation of MLDv2, Linux hosts would just silently drop such MLDv2 queries instead of replying with an MLDv1 listener report, which would prevent a MLDv2 router going into fallback mode (until it receives other MLDv1 queries). Since the mapping of MRC to MRD in exactly such cases can make use of the exponential algorithm from 5.1.3, we cannot [strictly speaking] be aware in MLDv1 of the encoding in MRC, it seems also not mentioned by the RFC. Since encodings are the same up to 32767, assume in such a situation this value as a hard upper limit we would clamp. We have asked one of the RFC authors on that regard, and he mentioned that there seem not to be any implementations that make use of that exponential algorithm on startup messages. In any case, this patch fixes this MLD interoperability issue. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-09-04net: ipv6: mld: fix v1/v2 switchback timeout to rfc3810, 9.12.Daniel Borkmann
i) RFC3810, 9.2. Query Interval [QI] says: The Query Interval variable denotes the interval between General Queries sent by the Querier. Default value: 125 seconds. [...] ii) RFC3810, 9.3. Query Response Interval [QRI] says: The Maximum Response Delay used to calculate the Maximum Response Code inserted into the periodic General Queries. Default value: 10000 (10 seconds) [...] The number of seconds represented by the [Query Response Interval] must be less than the [Query Interval]. iii) RFC3810, 9.12. Older Version Querier Present Timeout [OVQPT] says: The Older Version Querier Present Timeout is the time-out for transitioning a host back to MLDv2 Host Compatibility Mode. When an MLDv1 query is received, MLDv2 hosts set their Older Version Querier Present Timer to [Older Version Querier Present Timeout]. This value MUST be ([Robustness Variable] times (the [Query Interval] in the last Query received)) plus ([Query Response Interval]). Hence, on *default* the timeout results in: [RV] = 2, [QI] = 125sec, [QRI] = 10sec [OVQPT] = [RV] * [QI] + [QRI] = 260sec Having that said, we currently calculate [OVQPT] (here given as 'switchback' variable) as ... switchback = (idev->mc_qrv + 1) * max_delay RFC3810, 9.12. says "the [Query Interval] in the last Query received". In section "9.14. Configuring timers", it is said: This section is meant to provide advice to network administrators on how to tune these settings to their network. Ambitious router implementations might tune these settings dynamically based upon changing characteristics of the network. [...] iv) RFC38010, 9.14.2. Query Interval: The overall level of periodic MLD traffic is inversely proportional to the Query Interval. A longer Query Interval results in a lower overall level of MLD traffic. The value of the Query Interval MUST be equal to or greater than the Maximum Response Delay used to calculate the Maximum Response Code inserted in General Query messages. I assume that was why switchback is calculated as is (3 * max_delay), although this setting seems to be meant for routers only to configure their [QI] interval for non-default intervals. So usage here like this is clearly wrong. Concluding, the current behaviour in IPv6's multicast code is not conform to the RFC as switch back is calculated wrongly. That is, it has a too small value, so MLDv2 hosts switch back again to MLDv2 way too early, i.e. ~30secs instead of ~260secs on default. Hence, introduce necessary helper functions and fix this up properly as it should be. Introduced in 06da92283 ("[IPV6]: Add MLDv2 support.").
