  • df008c91f   net: Allow userns root to control llc, netfilter, netlink, packet, and xfrm ... Browse Code »

    Allow an unpriviled user who has created a user namespace, and then
    created a network namespace to effectively use the new network
    namespace, by reducing capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) and
    capable(CAP_NET_RAW) calls to be ns_capable(net->user_ns,
    CAP_NET_ADMIN), or capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_RAW) calls.

    Allow creation of af_key sockets.
    Allow creation of llc sockets.
    Allow creation of af_packet sockets.

    Allow sending xfrm netlink control messages.

    Allow binding to netlink multicast groups.
    Allow sending to netlink multicast groups.
    Allow adding and dropping netlink multicast groups.
    Allow sending to all netlink multicast groups and port ids.

    Allow reading the netfilter SO_IP_SET socket option.
    Allow sending netfilter netlink messages.
    Allow setting and getting ip_vs netfilter socket options.

  • 15e473046   netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion ... Browse Code »

    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
    userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

    I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

  • 71338aa7d   net: convert %p usage to %pK ... Browse Code »

    The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
    specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an
    easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
    locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
    pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.

    If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
    occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
    (intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
    (currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
    If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
    0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
    default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
    "(nil)".

    The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm
    tree. This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK. Cases of printing
    pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful
    information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is
    already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.

  • 5a0e3ad6a   include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implic… ... Browse Code »

    …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • 8be987d73   pfkey: fix SA and SP flush sequence ... Browse Code »

    RFC 2367 says flushing behavior should be:
    1) user space -> kernel: flush
    2) kernel: flush
    3) kernel -> user space: flush event to ALL listeners

    This is not realistic today in the presence of selinux policies
    which may reject the flush etc. So we make the sequence become:
    1) user space -> kernel: flush
    2) kernel: flush
    3) kernel -> user space: flush response to originater from #1
    4) if there were no errors then:
    kernel -> user space: flush event to ALL listeners

    As reported by Alexey Dobriyan:

    --------------------
    setkey now takes several seconds to run this simple script
    and it spits "recv: Resource temporarily unavailable" messages.

    #!/usr/sbin/setkey -f
    flush;
    spdflush;

    add A B ipcomp 44 -m tunnel -C deflate;
    add B A ipcomp 45 -m tunnel -C deflate;

    spdadd A B any -P in ipsec
    ipcomp/tunnel/192.168.1.2-192.168.1.3/use;
    spdadd B A any -P out ipsec
    ipcomp/tunnel/192.168.1.3-192.168.1.2/use;
    --------------------

    Obviously applications want the events even when the table
    is empty. So we cannot make this behavioral change.

  • 180211b84   af_key: fix netns ops ordering on module load/unload ... Browse Code »

    1. After sock_register() returns, it's possible to create sockets,
    even if module still not initialized fully (blame generic module code
    for that!)
    2. Consequently, pfkey_create() can be called with pfkey_net_id still not
    initialized which will BUG_ON in net_generic():
    kernel BUG at include/net/netns/generic.h:43!
    3. During netns shutdown, netns ops should be unregistered after
    key manager unregistered because key manager calls can be triggered
    from xfrm_user module:

    general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
    pfkey_broadcast+0x111/0x210 [af_key]
    pfkey_send_notify+0x16a/0x300 [af_key]
    km_state_notify+0x41/0x70
    xfrm_flush_sa+0x75/0x90 [xfrm_user]
    4. Unregister netns ops after socket ops just in case and for symmetry.
