Commit 053c095a82cf ("netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end()
void") didn't catch all of the cases where callers were breaking out
on the return value being equal to zero, which they no longer should
when zero means success.
Fix all such cases.

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.
This makes the very common pattern of
if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... }
be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do
return nlmsg_end(...);
and the caller is expected to deal with it.
This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to write
if (my_function(...))
/* error condition */
and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.
Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there.
Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did
- return nlmsg_end(...);
+ nlmsg_end(...);
+ return 0;
I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.
One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

This patch adds the minimum necessary for the RTAX_CC_ALGO congestion
control metric to be set up and dumped back to user space.
While the internal representation of RTAX_CC_ALGO is handled as a u32
key, we avoided to expose this implementation detail to user space, thus
instead, we chose the netlink attribute that is being exchanged between
user space to be the actual congestion control algorithm name, similarly
as in the setsockopt(2) API in order to allow for maximum flexibility,
even for 3rd party modules.
It is a bit unfortunate that RTAX_QUICKACK used up a whole RTAX slot as
it should have been stored in RTAX_FEATURES instead, we first thought
about reusing it for the congestion control key, but it brings more
complications and/or confusion than worth it.
Joint work with Florian Westphal.

Currently there are only three neigh tables in the whole kernel:
arp table, ndisc table and decnet neigh table. What's more,
we don't support registering multiple tables per family.
Therefore we can just make these tables statically built-in.

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged
executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket
data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that
privileged executable did not intend to do.
To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls
with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls.
Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the
opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.

In the dst->output() path for ipv4, the code assumes the skb it has to
transmit is attached to an inet socket, specifically via
ip_mc_output() : The sk_mc_loop() test triggers a WARN_ON() when the
provider of the packet is an AF_PACKET socket.
The dst->output() method gets an additional 'struct sock *sk'
parameter. This needs a cascade of changes so that this parameter can
be propagated from vxlan to final consumer.

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.

pull request (net-next): ipsec-next 2013-12-19
1) Use the user supplied policy index instead of a generated one
if present. From Fan Du.
2) Make xfrm migration namespace aware. From Fan Du.
3) Make the xfrm state and policy locks namespace aware. From Fan Du.
4) Remove ancient sleeping when the SA is in acquire state,
we now queue packets to the policy instead. This replaces the
sleeping code.
5) Remove FLOWI_FLAG_CAN_SLEEP. This was used to notify xfrm about the
posibility to sleep. The sleeping code is gone, so remove it.
6) Check user specified spi for IPComp. Thr spi for IPcomp is only
16 bit wide, so check for a valid value. From Fan Du.
7) Export verify_userspi_info to check for valid user supplied spi ranges
with pfkey and netlink. From Fan Du.
8) RFC3173 states that if the total size of a compressed payload and the IPComp
header is not smaller than the size of the original payload, the IP datagram
must be sent in the original non-compressed form. These packets are dropped
by the inbound policy check because they are not transformed. Document the need
to set 'level use' for IPcomp to receive such packets anyway. From Fan Du.
Please pull or let me know if there are problems.

decnet is the only subsystem left that is relying on the global

want to get rid of it.
This converts all of decnet to do implicit attribute parsing. It
also gets rid of the error prone struct dn_kern_rta.
Yes, the fib_magic() stuff is not pretty.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.
I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

This patch defines netlink_kernel_create as a wrapper function of
__netlink_kernel_create to hide the struct module *me parameter
(which seems to be THIS_MODULE in all existing netlink subsystems).

The allowed value of "how" is SHUT_RD/SHUT_WR/SHUT_RDWR (0/1/2),
rather than SHUTDOWN_MASK (3).

As pointed out, there are places, that access net->loopback_dev->ifindex
and after ifindex generation is made per-net this value becomes constant
equals 1. So go ahead and introduce the LOOPBACK_IFINDEX constant and use
it where appropriate.

It's an ipv4 defined route flag, and only ipv4 uses it.

Add a big comment explaining how the field works, and use defines
instead of magic constants for the values assigned to it.

This will be used so that we can compose a full flow key.
Even though we have a route in this context, we need more. In the
future the routes will be without destination address, source address,
etc. keying. One ipv4 route will cover entire subnets, etc.
In this environment we have to have a way to possess persistent storage
for redirects and PMTU information. This persistent storage will exist
in the FIB tables, and that's why we'll need to be able to rebuild a
full lookup flow key here. Using that flow key will do a fib_lookup()
and create/update the persistent entry.

Nobody provides non-zero values any longer.

We don't maintain it dynamically any longer, so reporting it would
be extremely misleading. Report zero instead.

This allows an easy conversion away from dst_get_neighbour*().
