2017-06-07net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.David S. Miller
Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Note that ipoib has no min_mtu set, and thus, the network core's mtu > 0 check is the only lower bounds here. mptlan: - use net core MTU range checking - remove now redundant mpt_lan_change_mtu fddi: - min_mtu = 21, max_mtu = 4470 - remove now redundant fddi_change_mtu (including export) fjes: - min_mtu = 8192, max_mtu = 65536 - The max_mtu value is actually one over IP_MAX_MTU here, but the idea is to get past the core net MTU range checks so fjes_change_mtu can validate a new MTU against what it supports (see fjes_support_mtu in fjes_hw.c) hsr: - min_mtu = 0 (calls ether_setup, max_mtu is 1500) f_phonet: - min_mtu = 6, max_mtu = 65541 u_ether: - min_mtu = 14, max_mtu = 15412 phonet/pep-gprs: - min_mtu = 576, max_mtu = 65530 - remove redundant gprs_set_mtu CC: netdev@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org CC: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> CC: Faisal Latif <faisal.latif@intel.com> CC: linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org CC: Cliff Whickman <cpw@sgi.com> CC: Robin Holt <robinmholt@gmail.com> CC: Jes Sorensen <jes@trained-monkey.org> CC: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch> CC: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de> CC: Antonio Quartulli <a@unstable.cc> CC: Sathya Prakash <sathya.prakash@broadcom.com> CC: Chaitra P B <chaitra.basappa@broadcom.com> CC: Suganath Prabu Subramani <suganath-prabu.subramani@broadcom.com> CC: MPT-FusionLinux.pdl@broadcom.com CC: Sebastian Reichel <sre@kernel.org> CC: Felipe Balbi <balbi@kernel.org> CC: Arvid Brodin <arvid.brodin@alten.se> CC: Remi Denis-Courmont <courmisch@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jarod Wilson <jarod@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-11-11net: Convert LIMIT_NETDEBUG to net_dbg_ratelimitedJoe Perches
Use the more common dynamic_debug capable net_dbg_ratelimited and remove the LIMIT_NETDEBUG macro. All messages are still ratelimited. Some KERN_<LEVEL> uses are changed to KERN_DEBUG. This may have some negative impact on messages that were emitted at KERN_INFO that are not not enabled at all unless DEBUG is defined or dynamic_debug is enabled. Even so, these messages are now _not_ emitted by default. This also eliminates the use of the net_msg_warn sysctl "/proc/sys/net/core/warnings". For backward compatibility, the sysctl is not removed, but it has no function. The extern declaration of net_msg_warn is removed from sock.h and made static in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c Miscellanea: o Update the sysctl documentation o Remove the embedded uses of pr_fmt o Coalesce format fragments o Realign arguments Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-04-11net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.David S. Miller
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>
