2014-12-29genetlink: A genl_bind() to an out-of-range multicast group should not WARN().David S. Miller
Users can request to bind to arbitrary multicast groups, so warning when the requested group number is out of range is not appropriate. And with the warning removed, and the 'err' variable properly given an initial value, we can remove 'found' altogether. Reported-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-12-27netlink/genetlink: pass network namespace to bind/unbindJohannes Berg
Netlink families can exist in multiple namespaces, and for the most part multicast subscriptions are per network namespace. Thus it only makes sense to have bind/unbind notifications per network namespace. To achieve this, pass the network namespace of a given client socket to the bind/unbind functions. Also do this in generic netlink, and there also make sure that any bind for multicast groups that only exist in init_net is rejected. This isn't really a problem if it is accepted since a client in a different namespace will never receive any notifications from such a group, but it can confuse the family if not rejected (it's also possible to silently (without telling the family) accept it, but it would also have to be ignored on unbind so families that take any kind of action on bind/unbind won't do unnecessary work for invalid clients like that.

2014-12-27netlink: call unbind when releasing socketJohannes Berg
Currently, netlink_unbind() is only called when the socket explicitly unbinds, which limits its usefulness (luckily there are no users of it yet anyway.) Call netlink_unbind() also when a socket is released, so it becomes possible to track listeners with this callback and without also implementing a netlink notifier (and checking netlink_has_listeners() in there.)

2014-12-27netlink: update listeners directly when removing socketJohannes Berg
The code is now confusing to read - first in one function down (netlink_remove) any group subscriptions are implicitly removed by calling __sk_del_bind_node(), but the subscriber database is only updated far later by calling netlink_update_listeners(). Move the latter call to just after removal from the list so it is easier to follow the code. This also enables moving the locking inside the kernel-socket conditional, which improves the normal socket destruction path.

2014-12-18netlink: Don't reorder loads/stores before marking mmap netlink frame as ↵Thomas Graf
available Each mmap Netlink frame contains a status field which indicates whether the frame is unused, reserved, contains data or needs to be skipped. Both loads and stores may not be reordeded and must complete before the status field is changed and another CPU might pick up the frame for use. Use an smp_mb() to cover needs of both types of callers to netlink_set_status(), callers which have been reading data frame from the frame, and callers which have been filling or releasing and thus writing to the frame. - Example code path requiring a smp_rmb(): memcpy(skb->data, (void *)hdr + NL_MMAP_HDRLEN, hdr->nm_len); netlink_set_status(hdr, NL_MMAP_STATUS_UNUSED); - Example code path requiring a smp_wmb(): hdr->nm_uid = from_kuid(sk_user_ns(sk), NETLINK_CB(skb).creds.uid); hdr->nm_gid = from_kgid(sk_user_ns(sk), NETLINK_CB(skb).creds.gid); netlink_frame_flush_dcache(hdr); netlink_set_status(hdr, NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID); Fixes: f9c228 ("netlink: implement memory mapped recvmsg()") Reported-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-12-10netlink: use jhash as hashfn for rhashtableDaniel Borkmann
For netlink, we shouldn't be using arch_fast_hash() as a hashing discipline, but rather jhash() instead. Since netlink sockets can be opened by any user, a local attacker would be able to easily create collisions with the DPDK-derived arch_fast_hash(), which trades off performance for security by using crc32 CPU instructions on x86_64. While it might have a legimite use case in other places, it should be avoided in netlink context, though. As rhashtable's API is very flexible, we could later on still decide on other hashing disciplines, if legitimate.

Therefore, no reason to continue passing allocation hints through the API.

2014-10-09fix misuses of f_count() in ppp and netlinkAl Viro
we used to check for "nobody else could start doing anything with that opened file" by checking that refcount was 2 or less - one for descriptor table and one we'd acquired in fget() on the way to wherever we are. That was race-prone (somebody else might have had a reference to descriptor table and do fget() just as we'd been checking) and it had become flat-out incorrect back when we switched to fget_light() on those codepaths - unlike fget(), it doesn't grab an extra reference unless the descriptor table is shared. The same change allowed a race-free check, though - we are safe exactly when refcount is less than 2. It was a long time ago; pre-2.6.12 for ioctl() (the codepath leading to ppp one) and 2.6.17 for sendmsg() (netlink one). OTOH, netlink hadn't grown that check until 3.9 and ppp used to live in drivers/net, not drivers/net/ppp until 3.1. The bug existed well before that, though, and the same fix used to apply in old location of file. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2014-08-02netlink: Convert netlink_lookup() to use RCU protected hash tableThomas Graf
Heavy Netlink users such as Open vSwitch spend a considerable amount of time in netlink_lookup() due to the read-lock on nl_table_lock. Use of RCU relieves the lock contention. Makes use of the new resizable hash table to avoid locking on the lookup. The hash table will grow if entries exceeds 75% of table size up to a total table size of 64K. It will automatically shrink if usage falls below 30%. Also splits nl_table_lock into a separate mutex to protect hash table mutations and allow synchronize_rcu() to sleep while waiting for readers during expansion and shrinking.

2014-07-09netlink: Fix handling of error from netlink_dump().Ben Pfaff
netlink_dump() returns a negative errno value on error. Until now, netlink_recvmsg() directly recorded that negative value in sk->sk_err, but that's wrong since sk_err takes positive errno values. (This manifests as userspace receiving a positive return value from the recv() system call, falsely indicating success.) This bug was introduced in the commit that started checking the netlink_dump() return value, commit b44d211 (netlink: handle errors from netlink_dump()). Multithreaded Netlink dumps are one way to trigger this behavior in practice, as described in the commit message for the userspace workaround posted here: http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2014-June/042339.html This commit also fixes the same bug in netlink_poll(), introduced in commit cd1df525d (netlink: add flow control for memory mapped I/O).

2014-06-02netlink: Only check file credentials for implicit destinationsEric W. Biederman
It was possible to get a setuid root or setcap executable to write to it's stdout or stderr (which has been set made a netlink socket) and inadvertently reconfigure the networking stack. To prevent this we check that both the creator of the socket and the currentl applications has permission to reconfigure the network stack. Unfortunately this breaks Zebra which always uses sendto/sendmsg and creates it's socket without any privileges. To keep Zebra working don't bother checking if the creator of the socket has privilege when a destination address is specified. Instead rely exclusively on the privileges of the sender of the socket. Note from Andy: This is exactly Eric's code except for some comment clarifications and formatting fixes. Neither I nor, I think, anyone else is thrilled with this approach, but I'm hesitant to wait on a better fix since 3.15 is almost here. Note to stable maintainers: This is a mess. An earlier series of patches in 3.15 fix a rather serious security issue (CVE-2014-0181), but they did so in a way that breaks Zebra.

Have the netlink per-protocol optional bind function return an int error code rather than void to signal a failure. This will enable netlink protocols to perform extra checks including capabilities and permissions verifications when updating memberships in multicast groups. In netlink_bind() and netlink_setsockopt() the call to the per-protocol bind function was moved above the multicast group update to prevent any access to the multicast socket groups before checking with the per-protocol bind function. This will enable the per-protocol bind function to be used to check permissions which could be denied before making them available, and to avoid the messy job of undoing the addition should the per-protocol bind function fail. The netfilter subsystem seems to be the only one currently using the per-protocol bind function. Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.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.

One known problem with netlink is the fact that NLMSG_GOODSIZE is really small on PAGE_SIZE==4096 architectures, and it is difficult to know in advance what buffer size is used by the application. This patch adds an automatic learning of the size. First netlink message will still be limited to ~4K, but if user used bigger buffers, then following messages will be able to use up to 16KB. This speedups dump() operations by a large factor and should be safe for legacy applications.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jesse/openvswitch Jesse Gross says: ==================== [GIT net-next] Open vSwitch Open vSwitch changes for net-next/3.14. Highlights are: * Performance improvements in the mechanism to get packets to userspace using memory mapped netlink and skb zero copy where appropriate. * Per-cpu flow stats in situations where flows are likely to be shared across CPUs. Standard flow stats are used in other situations to save memory and allocation time. * A handful of code cleanups and rationalization. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-01-06netlink: Avoid netlink mmap alloc if msg size exceeds frame sizeThomas Graf
An insufficent ring frame size configuration can lead to an unnecessary skb allocation for every Netlink message. Check frame size before taking the queue lock and allocating the skb and re-check with lock to be safe.

2014-01-06genl: Add genlmsg_new_unicast() for unicast message allocationThomas Graf
Allocates a new sk_buff large enough to cover the specified payload plus required Netlink headers. Will check receiving socket for memory mapped i/o capability and use it if enabled. Will fall back to non-mapped skb if message size exceeds the frame size of the ring.

2013-12-31netlink: specify netlink packet direction for nlmonDaniel Borkmann
In order to facilitate development for netlink protocol dissector, fill the unused field skb->pkt_type of the cloned skb with a hint of the address space of the new owner (receiver) socket in the notion of "to kernel" resp. "to user". At the time we invoke __netlink_deliver_tap_skb(), we already have set the new skb owner via netlink_skb_set_owner_r(), so we can use that for netlink_is_kernel() probing. In normal PF_PACKET network traffic, this field denotes if the packet is destined for us (PACKET_HOST), if it's broadcast (PACKET_BROADCAST), etc. As we only have 3 bit reserved, we can use the value (= 6) of PACKET_FASTROUTE as it's _not used_ anywhere in the whole kernel and not supported anywhere, and packets of such type were never exposed to user space, so there are no overlapping users of such kind. Thus, as wished, that seems the only way to make both PACKET_* values non-overlapping and therefore device agnostic. By using those two flags for netlink skbs on nlmon devices, they can be made available and picked up via sll_pkttype (previously unused in netlink context) in struct sockaddr_ll. We now have these two directions: - PACKET_USER (= 6) -> to user space - PACKET_KERNEL (= 7) -> to kernel space Partial `ip a` example strace for sa_family=AF_NETLINK with detected nl msg direction: syscall: direction: sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 3404 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 1120 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */ sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 168 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 144 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */ Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Zawadzki <darkjames-ws@darkjames.pl> Signed-off-by: David S.
