2017-10-05VSOCK: use TCP state constants for sk_stateStefan Hajnoczi
There are two state fields: socket->state and sock->sk_state. The socket->state field uses SS_UNCONNECTED, SS_CONNECTED, etc while the sock->sk_state typically uses values that match TCP state constants (TCP_CLOSE, TCP_ESTABLISHED). AF_VSOCK does not follow this convention and instead uses SS_* constants for both fields. The sk_state field will be exposed to userspace through the vsock_diag interface for ss(8), netstat(8), and other programs. This patch switches sk_state to TCP state constants so that the meaning of this field is consistent with other address families. Not just AF_INET and AF_INET6 use the TCP constants, AF_UNIX and others do too. The following mapping was used to convert the code: SS_FREE -> TCP_CLOSE SS_UNCONNECTED -> TCP_CLOSE SS_CONNECTING -> TCP_SYN_SENT SS_CONNECTED -> TCP_ESTABLISHED SS_DISCONNECTING -> TCP_CLOSING VSOCK_SS_LISTEN -> TCP_LISTEN In __vsock_create() the sk_state initialization was dropped because sock_init_data() already initializes sk_state to TCP_CLOSE.

2016-12-17ATM: use designated initializersKees Cook
Prepare to mark sensitive kernel structures for randomization by making sure they're using designated initializers. These were identified during allyesconfig builds of x86, arm, and arm64, with most initializer fixes extracted from grsecurity.

The vmci_transport_notify_ops structures are never modified, so declare them as const. Done with the help of Coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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>
2013-02-10VSOCK: Introduce VM SocketsAndy King
VM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor. User level applications both in a virtual machine and on the host can use the VM Sockets API, which facilitates fast and efficient communication between guest virtual machines and their host. A socket address family, designed to be compatible with UDP and TCP at the interface level, is provided. Today, VM Sockets is used by various VMware Tools components inside the guest for zero-config, network-less access to VMware host services. In addition to this, VMware's users are using VM Sockets for various applications, where network access of the virtual machine is restricted or non-existent. Examples of this are VMs communicating with device proxies for proprietary hardware running as host applications and automated testing of applications running within virtual machines. The VMware VM Sockets are similar to other socket types, like Berkeley UNIX socket interface. The VM Sockets module supports both connection-oriented stream sockets like TCP, and connectionless datagram sockets like UDP. The VM Sockets protocol family is defined as "AF_VSOCK" and the socket operations split for SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM. For additional information about the use of VM Sockets, please refer to the VM Sockets Programming Guide available at: https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vmci-sdk/ Signed-off-by: George Zhang <georgezhang@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Andy king <acking@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
