Conflicts were two cases of simple overlapping changes, nothing serious. In the UDP case, we need to add a hlist_add_tail_rcu() to linux/rculist.h, because we've moved UDP socket handling away from using nulls lists. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-04-10netlink: don't send NETLINK_URELEASE for unbound socketsDmitry Ivanov
All existing users of NETLINK_URELEASE use it to clean up resources that were previously allocated to a socket via some command. As a result, no users require getting this notification for unbound sockets. Sending it for unbound sockets, however, is a problem because any user (including unprivileged users) can create a socket that uses the same ID as an existing socket. Binding this new socket will fail, but if the NETLINK_URELEASE notification is generated for such sockets, the users thereof will be tricked into thinking the socket that they allocated the resources for is closed. In the nl80211 case, this will cause destruction of virtual interfaces that still belong to an existing hostapd process; this is the case that Dmitry noticed. In the NFC case, it will cause a poll abort. In the case of netlink log/queue it will cause them to stop reporting events, as if NFULNL_CFG_CMD_UNBIND/NFQNL_CFG_CMD_UNBIND had been called. Fix this problem by checking that the socket is bound before generating the NETLINK_URELEASE notification.

2016-03-22netlink: add support for NIC driver ioctlsDavid Decotigny
By returning -ENOIOCTLCMD, sock_do_ioctl() falls back to calling dev_ioctl(), which provides support for NIC driver ioctls, which includes ethtool support. This is similar to the way ioctls are handled in udp.c or tcp.c. This removes the requirement that ethtool for example be tied to the support of a specific L3 protocol (ethtool uses an AF_INET socket today).

2016-02-18netlink: remove mmapped netlink supportFlorian Westphal
mmapped netlink has a number of unresolved issues: - TX zerocopy support had to be disabled more than a year ago via commit 4682a0358639b29cf ("netlink: Always copy on mmap TX.") because the content of the mmapped area can change after netlink attribute validation but before message processing. - RX support was implemented mainly to speed up nfqueue dumping packet payload to userspace. However, since commit ae08ce0021087a5d812d2 ("netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: zero copy support") we avoid one copy with the socket-based interface too (via the skb_zerocopy helper). The other problem is that skbs attached to mmaped netlink socket behave different from normal skbs: - they don't have a shinfo area, so all functions that use skb_shinfo() (e.g. skb_clone) cannot be used. - reserving headroom prevents userspace from seeing the content as it expects message to start at skb->head. See for instance commit aa3a022094fa ("netlink: not trim skb for mmaped socket when dump"). - skbs handed e.g. to netlink_ack must have non-NULL skb->sk, else we crash because it needs the sk to check if a tx ring is attached. Also not obvious, leads to non-intuitive bug fixes such as 7c7bdf359 ("netfilter: nfnetlink: use original skbuff when acking batches"). mmaped netlink also didn't play nicely with the skb_zerocopy helper used by nfqueue and openvswitch. Daniel Borkmann fixed this via commit 6bb0fef489f6 ("netlink, mmap: fix edge-case leakages in nf queue zero-copy")' but at the cost of also needing to provide remaining length to the allocation function. nfqueue also has problems when used with mmaped rx netlink: - mmaped netlink doesn't allow use of nfqueue batch verdict messages. Problem is that in the mmap case, the allocation time also determines the ordering in which the frame will be seen by userspace (A allocating before B means that A is located in earlier ring slot, but this also means that B might get a lower sequence number then A since seqno is decided later. To fix this we would need to extend the spinlocked region to also cover the allocation and message setup which isn't desirable. - nfqueue can now be configured to queue large (GSO) skbs to userspace. Queing GSO packets is faster than having to force a software segmentation in the kernel, so this is a desirable option. However, with a mmap based ring one has to use 64kb per ring slot element, else mmap has to fall back to the socket path (NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY) for all large packets. To use the mmap interface, userspace not only has to probe for mmap netlink support, it also has to implement a recv/socket receive path in order to handle messages that exceed the size of an rx ring element.

2016-02-11openvswitch: allow management from inside user namespacesTycho Andersen
Operations with the GENL_ADMIN_PERM flag fail permissions checks because this flag means we call netlink_capable, which uses the init user ns. Instead, let's introduce a new flag, GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM for operations which should be allowed inside a user namespace. The motivation for this is to be able to run openvswitch in unprivileged containers. I've tested this and it seems to work, but I really have no idea about the security consequences of this patch, so thoughts would be much appreciated. v2: use the GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM flag instead of a check in each function v3: use separate ifs for UNS_ADMIN_PERM and ADMIN_PERM, instead of one massive one Reported-by: James Page <james.page@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Tycho Andersen <tycho.andersen@canonical.com> CC: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> CC: Pravin Shelar <pshelar@ovn.org> CC: Justin Pettit <jpettit@nicira.com> CC: "David S.

2015-11-06mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to ↵Mel Gorman
sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

2015-10-22netlink: fix locking around NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPSDavid Herrmann
Currently, NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS grabs the netlink table while copying the membership state to user-space. However, grabing the netlink table is effectively a write_lock_irq(), and as such we should not be triggering page-faults in the critical section. This can be easily reproduced by the following snippet: int s = socket(AF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_ROUTE); void *p = mmap(0, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON, -1, 0); int r = getsockopt(s, 0x10e, 9, p, (void*)((char*)p + 4092)); This should work just fine, but currently triggers EFAULT and a possible WARN_ON below handle_mm_fault(). Fix this by reducing locking of NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS to a read-side lock. The write-lock was overkill in the first place, and the read-lock allows page-faults just fine.

2015-10-18netlink: Trim skb to alloc size to avoid MSG_TRUNCArad, Ronen
netlink_dump() allocates skb based on the calculated min_dump_alloc or a per socket max_recvmsg_len. min_alloc_size is maximum space required for any single netdev attributes as calculated by rtnl_calcit(). max_recvmsg_len tracks the user provided buffer to netlink_recvmsg. It is capped at 16KiB. The intention is to avoid small allocations and to minimize the number of calls required to obtain dump information for all net devices. netlink_dump packs as many small messages as could fit within an skb that was sized for the largest single netdev information. The actual space available within an skb is larger than what is requested. It could be much larger and up to near 2x with align to next power of 2 approach. Allowing netlink_dump to use all the space available within the allocated skb increases the buffer size a user has to provide to avoid truncaion (i.e. MSG_TRUNG flag set). It was observed that with many VLANs configured on at least one netdev, a larger buffer of near 64KiB was necessary to avoid "Message truncated" error in "ip link" or "bridge [-c[ompressvlans]] vlan show" when min_alloc_size was only little over 32KiB. This patch trims skb to allocated size in order to allow the user to avoid truncation with more reasonable buffer size. Signed-off-by: Ronen Arad <ronen.arad@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The reason this one is OK is because we do not use nlk->portid or try to get nlk from the hash table before we return to user-space. However, there is a real bug here that none of these acquire/release helpers discovered. The two bound tests here used to be a single one. Now that they are separate it is entirely possible for another thread to come in the middle and bind the socket. So we need to repeat the portid check in order to maintain consistency. > > @@ -1587,7 +1594,7 @@ static int netlink_connect(struct socket *sock, struct sockaddr *addr, > > !netlink_allowed(sock, NL_CFG_F_NONROOT_SEND)) > > return -EPERM; > > > > - if (!nlk->portid) > > + if (!nlk->bound) > > Don't we need load_acquire here too?

Ditto. ---8<--- The commit 1f770c0a09da855a2b51af6d19de97fb955eca85 ("netlink: Fix autobind race condition that leads to zero port ID") created some new races that can occur due to inconcsistencies between the two port IDs. Tejun is right that a barrier is unavoidable. Therefore I am reverting to the original patch that used a boolean to indicate that a user netlink socket has been bound. Barriers have been added where necessary to ensure that a valid portid and the hashed socket is visible. I have also changed netlink_insert to only return EBUSY if the socket is bound to a portid different to the requested one. This combined with only reading nlk->bound once in netlink_bind fixes a race where two threads that bind the socket at the same time with different port IDs may both succeed.

2015-09-11netlink, mmap: transform mmap skb into full skb on tapsDaniel Borkmann
Ken-ichirou reported that running netlink in mmap mode for receive in combination with nlmon will throw a NULL pointer dereference in __kfree_skb() on nlmon_xmit(), in my case I can also trigger an "unable to handle kernel paging request". The problem is the skb_clone() in __netlink_deliver_tap_skb() for skbs that are mmaped. I.e. the cloned skb doesn't have a destructor, whereas the mmap netlink skb has it pointed to netlink_skb_destructor(), set in the handler netlink_ring_setup_skb(). There, skb->head is being set to NULL, so that in such cases, __kfree_skb() doesn't perform a skb_release_data() via skb_release_all(), where skb->head is possibly being freed through kfree(head) into slab allocator, although netlink mmap skb->head points to the mmap buffer. Similarly, the same has to be done also for large netlink skbs where the data area is vmalloced. Therefore, as discussed, make a copy for these rather rare cases for now. This fixes the issue on my and Ken-ichirou's test-cases.

2015-09-09netlink, mmap: fix edge-case leakages in nf queue zero-copyDaniel Borkmann
When netlink mmap on receive side is the consumer of nf queue data, it can happen that in some edge cases, we write skb shared info into the user space mmap buffer: Assume a possible rx ring frame size of only 4096, and the network skb, which is being zero-copied into the netlink skb, contains page frags with an overall skb->len larger than the linear part of the netlink skb. skb_zerocopy(), which is generic and thus not aware of the fact that shared info cannot be accessed for such skbs then tries to write and fill frags, thus leaking kernel data/pointers and in some corner cases possibly writing out of bounds of the mmap area (when filling the last slot in the ring buffer this way). I.e. the ring buffer slot is then of status NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID, has an advertised length larger than 4096, where the linear part is visible at the slot beginning, and the leaked sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) has been written to the beginning of the next slot (also corrupting the struct nl_mmap_hdr slot header incl. status etc), since skb->end points to skb->data + ring->frame_size - NL_MMAP_HDRLEN. The fix adds and lets __netlink_alloc_skb() take the actual needed linear room for the network skb + meta data into account. It's completely irrelevant for non-mmaped netlink sockets, but in case mmap sockets are used, it can be decided whether the available skb_tailroom() is really large enough for the buffer, or whether it needs to internally fallback to a normal alloc_skb(). >From nf queue side, the information whether the destination port is an mmap RX ring is not really available without extra port-to-socket lookup, thus it can only be determined in lower layers i.e. when __netlink_alloc_skb() is called that checks internally for this. I chose to add the extra ldiff parameter as mmap will then still work: We have data_len and hlen in nfqnl_build_packet_message(), data_len is the full length (capped at queue->copy_range) for skb_zerocopy() and hlen some possible part of data_len that needs to be copied; the rem_len variable indicates the needed remaining linear mmap space. The only other workaround in nf queue internally would be after allocation time by f.e. cap'ing the data_len to the skb_tailroom() iff we deal with an mmap skb, but that would 1) expose the fact that we use a mmap skb to upper layers, and 2) trim the skb where we otherwise could just have moved the full skb into the normal receive queue. After the patch, in my test case the ring slot doesn't fit and therefore shows NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY, where a full skb carries all the data and thus needs to be picked up via recv().

2015-09-09netlink, mmap: don't walk rx ring on poll if receive queue non-emptyDaniel Borkmann
In case of netlink mmap, there can be situations where received frames have to be placed into the normal receive queue. The ring buffer indicates this through NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY, so the user is asked to pick them up via recvmsg(2) syscall, and to put the slot back to NL_MMAP_STATUS_UNUSED. Commit 0ef707700f1c ("netlink: rx mmap: fix POLLIN condition") changed polling, so that we walk in the worst case the whole ring through the new netlink_has_valid_frame(), for example, when the ring would have no NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID, but at least one NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY frame. Since we do a datagram_poll() already earlier to pick up a mask that could possibly contain POLLIN | POLLRDNORM already (due to NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY), we can skip checking the rx ring entirely. In case the kernel is compiled with !CONFIG_NETLINK_MMAP, then all this is irrelevant anyway as netlink_poll() is just defined as datagram_poll().

Poll() returns immediately after setting the kernel current frame (ring->head) to SKIP from user space even though there is no new frame. And in a case of all frames is VALID, user space program unintensionally sets (only) kernel current frame to UNUSED, then calls poll(), it will not return immediately even though there are VALID frames. To avoid situations like above, I think we need to scan all frames to find VALID frames at poll() like netlink_alloc_skb(), netlink_forward_ring() finding an UNUSED frame at skb allocation.

Since commit c05cdb1b864f ("netlink: allow large data transfers from user-space"), the kernel may fail to allocate the necessary room for the acknowledgment message back to userspace. This patch introduces a new socket option that trims off the payload of the original netlink message. The netlink message header is still included, so the user can guess from the sequence number what is the message that has triggered the acknowledgment.

One way, where this could trigger is that the senders NETLINK_CB(skb).portid was wrongly 0 (which is rtnetlink socket), so the rtnl_getlink() request's answer would be sent to the kernel instead to the actual user process, thus grabbing rtnl_mutex() twice. One theory would be that netlink_autobind() triggered via netlink_sendmsg() internally overwrites the -EBUSY error to 0, but where it is wrongly originating from __netlink_insert() instead. That would reset the socket's portid to 0, which is then filled into NETLINK_CB(skb).portid later on. As commit d470e3b483dc ("[NETLINK]: Fix two socket hashing bugs.") also puts it, -EBUSY should not be propagated from netlink_insert(). It looks like it's very unlikely to reproduce. We need to trigger the rhashtable_insert_rehash() handler under a situation where rehashing currently occurs (one /rare/ way would be to hit ht->elasticity limits while not filled enough to expand the hashtable, but that would rather require a specifically crafted bind() sequence with knowledge about destination slots, seems unlikely). It probably makes sense to guard __netlink_insert() in any case and remap that error. It was suggested that EOVERFLOW might be better than an already overloaded ENOMEM.

2015-06-21netlink: add API to retrieve all group membershipsDavid Herrmann
This patch adds getsockopt(SOL_NETLINK, NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS) to retrieve all groups a socket is a member of. Currently, we have to use getsockname() and look at the nl.nl_groups bitmask. However, this mask is limited to 32 groups. Hence, similar to NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and NETLINK_DROP_MEMBERSHIP, this adds a separate sockopt to manager higher groups IDs than 32. This new NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS option takes a pointer to __u32 and the size of the array. The array is filled with the full membership-set of the socket, and the required array size is returned in optlen. Hence, user-space can retry with a properly sized array in case it was too small.

2015-05-17netlink: Use random autobind roverHerbert Xu
Currently we use a global rover to select a port ID that is unique. This used to work consistently when it was protected with a global lock. However as we're now lockless, the global rover can exhibit pathological behaviour should multiple threads all stomp on it at the same time. Granted this will eventually resolve itself but the process is suboptimal. This patch replaces the global rover with a pseudorandom starting point to avoid this issue.

The commit c5adde9468b0714a051eac7f9666f23eb10b61f7 ("netlink: eliminate nl_sk_hash_lock") breaks the autobind retry mechanism because it doesn't reset portid after a failed netlink_insert. This means that should autobind fail the first time around, then the socket will be stuck in limbo as it can never be bound again since it already has a non-zero portid.

2015-05-09netlink: allow to listen "all" netnsNicolas Dichtel
More accurately, listen all netns that have a nsid assigned into the netns where the netlink socket is opened. For this purpose, a netlink socket option is added: NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID. When this option is set on a netlink socket, this socket will receive netlink notifications from all netns that have a nsid assigned into the netns where the socket has been opened. The nsid is sent to userland via an anscillary data. With this patch, a daemon needs only one socket to listen many netns. This is useful when the number of netns is high. Because 0 is a valid value for a nsid, the field nsid_is_set indicates if the field nsid is valid or not. skb->cb is initialized to 0 on skb allocation, thus we are sure that we will never send a nsid 0 by error to the userland.

Instead of computing the offset from trailer, this patch computes netlink_compare_arg_len from the offset of portid and then adds 4 to it. This allows trailer to be removed.

2015-03-20netlink: Move namespace into hash keyHerbert Xu
Currently the name space is a de facto key because it has to match before we find an object in the hash table. However, it isn't in the hash value so all objects from different name spaces with the same port ID hash to the same bucket. This is bad as the number of name spaces is unbounded. This patch fixes this by using the namespace when doing the hash. Because the namespace field doesn't lie next to the portid field in the netlink socket, this patch switches over to the rhashtable interface without a fixed key. This patch also uses the new inlined rhashtable interface where possible. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
