When we free cb->skb after a dump, we do it after releasing the
lock. This means that a new dump could have started in the time
being and we'll end up freeing their skb instead of ours.This patch saves the skb and module before we unlock so we free
the right memory.Fixes: 16b304f3404f ("netlink: Eliminate kmalloc in netlink dump operation.")

All existing users of NETLINK_URELEASE use it to clean up resources that
were previously allocated to a socket via some command. As a result, no
users require getting this notification for unbound sockets.Sending it for unbound sockets, however, is a problem because any user
(including unprivileged users) can create a socket that uses the same ID
as an existing socket. Binding this new socket will fail, but if the
NETLINK_URELEASE notification is generated for such sockets, the users
thereof will be tricked into thinking the socket that they allocated the
resources for is closed.In the nl80211 case, this will cause destruction of virtual interfaces
that still belong to an existing hostapd process; this is the case that
Dmitry noticed. In the NFC case, it will cause a poll abort. In the case
of netlink log/queue it will cause them to stop reporting events, as if
NFULNL_CFG_CMD_UNBIND/NFQNL_CFG_CMD_UNBIND had been called.Fix this problem by checking that the socket is bound before generating
the NETLINK_URELEASE notification.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

By returning -ENOIOCTLCMD, sock_do_ioctl() falls back to calling
dev_ioctl(), which provides support for NIC driver ioctls, which
includes ethtool support. This is similar to the way ioctls are handled
in udp.c or tcp.c.This removes the requirement that ethtool for example be tied to the
support of a specific L3 protocol (ethtool uses an AF_INET socket

mmapped netlink has a number of unresolved issues:
- TX zerocopy support had to be disabled more than a year ago via
commit 4682a0358639b29cf ("netlink: Always copy on mmap TX.")
because the content of the mmapped area can change after netlink
attribute validation but before message processing.- RX support was implemented mainly to speed up nfqueue dumping packet
payload to userspace. However, since commit ae08ce0021087a5d812d2
("netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: zero copy support") we avoid one copy
with the socket-based interface too (via the skb_zerocopy helper).The other problem is that skbs attached to mmaped netlink socket
behave different from normal skbs:- they don't have a shinfo area, so all functions that use skb_shinfo()
(e.g. skb_clone) cannot be used.- reserving headroom prevents userspace from seeing the content as
it expects message to start at skb->head.
See for instance
commit aa3a022094fa ("netlink: not trim skb for mmaped socket when dump").- skbs handed e.g. to netlink_ack must have non-NULL skb->sk, else we
crash because it needs the sk to check if a tx ring is attached.Also not obvious, leads to non-intuitive bug fixes such as 7c7bdf359
("netfilter: nfnetlink: use original skbuff when acking batches").mmaped netlink also didn't play nicely with the skb_zerocopy helper
used by nfqueue and openvswitch. Daniel Borkmann fixed this via
commit 6bb0fef489f6 ("netlink, mmap: fix edge-case leakages in nf queue
zero-copy")' but at the cost of also needing to provide remaining
length to the allocation function.nfqueue also has problems when used with mmaped rx netlink:
- mmaped netlink doesn't allow use of nfqueue batch verdict messages.
Problem is that in the mmap case, the allocation time also determines
the ordering in which the frame will be seen by userspace (A
allocating before B means that A is located in earlier ring slot,
but this also means that B might get a lower sequence number then A
since seqno is decided later. To fix this we would need to extend the
spinlocked region to also cover the allocation and message setup which
isn't desirable.
- nfqueue can now be configured to queue large (GSO) skbs to userspace.
Queing GSO packets is faster than having to force a software segmentation
in the kernel, so this is a desirable option. However, with a mmap based
ring one has to use 64kb per ring slot element, else mmap has to fall back
to the socket path (NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY) for all large packets.To use the mmap interface, userspace not only has to probe for mmap netlink
support, it also has to implement a recv/socket receive path in order to
handle messages that exceed the size of an rx ring element.Cc: Daniel Borkmann

…d avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net>

Currently, NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS grabs the netlink table while copying
the membership state to user-space. However, grabing the netlink table is
effectively a write_lock_irq(), and as such we should not be triggering
page-faults in the critical section.This can be easily reproduced by the following snippet:
int s = socket(AF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_ROUTE);
void *p = mmap(0, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON, -1, 0);
int r = getsockopt(s, 0x10e, 9, p, (void*)((char*)p + 4092));This should work just fine, but currently triggers EFAULT and a possible
WARN_ON below handle_mm_fault().Fix this by reducing locking of NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS to a read-side
lock. The write-lock was overkill in the first place, and the read-lock
allows page-faults just fine.Reported-by: Dmitry Vyukov

netlink_dump() allocates skb based on the calculated min_dump_alloc or
a per socket max_recvmsg_len.
min_alloc_size is maximum space required for any single netdev
attributes as calculated by rtnl_calcit().
max_recvmsg_len tracks the user provided buffer to netlink_recvmsg.
It is capped at 16KiB.
The intention is to avoid small allocations and to minimize the number
of calls required to obtain dump information for all net devices.netlink_dump packs as many small messages as could fit within an skb
that was sized for the largest single netdev information. The actual
space available within an skb is larger than what is requested. It could
be much larger and up to near 2x with align to next power of 2 approach.Allowing netlink_dump to use all the space available within the
allocated skb increases the buffer size a user has to provide to avoid
truncaion (i.e. MSG_TRUNG flag set).It was observed that with many VLANs configured on at least one netdev,
a larger buffer of near 64KiB was necessary to avoid "Message truncated"
error in "ip link" or "bridge [-c[ompressvlans]] vlan show" when
min_alloc_size was only little over 32KiB.This patch trims skb to allocated size in order to allow the user to
avoid truncation with more reasonable buffer size.Signed-off-by: Ronen Arad

try to get nlk from the hash table before we return to user-space.However, there is a real bug here that none of these acquire/release
helpers discovered. The two bound tests here used to be a single
one. Now that they are separate it is entirely possible for another
thread to come in the middle and bind the socket. So we need to
repeat the portid check in order to maintain consistency.> > @@ -1587,7 +1594,7 @@ static int netlink_connect(struct socket *sock, struct sockaddr *addr,

Ken-ichirou reported that running netlink in mmap mode for receive in
combination with nlmon will throw a NULL pointer dereference in
__kfree_skb() on nlmon_xmit(), in my case I can also trigger an "unable
to handle kernel paging request". The problem is the skb_clone() in
__netlink_deliver_tap_skb() for skbs that are mmaped.I.e. the cloned skb doesn't have a destructor, whereas the mmap netlink
skb has it pointed to netlink_skb_destructor(), set in the handler
netlink_ring_setup_skb(). There, skb->head is being set to NULL, so
that in such cases, __kfree_skb() doesn't perform a skb_release_data()
via skb_release_all(), where skb->head is possibly being freed through
kfree(head) into slab allocator, although netlink mmap skb->head points
to the mmap buffer. Similarly, the same has to be done also for large
netlink skbs where the data area is vmalloced. Therefore, as discussed,
make a copy for these rather rare cases for now. This fixes the issue
on my and Ken-ichirou's test-cases.Reference: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/371129

When netlink mmap on receive side is the consumer of nf queue data,
it can happen that in some edge cases, we write skb shared info into
the user space mmap buffer:Assume a possible rx ring frame size of only 4096, and the network skb,
which is being zero-copied into the netlink skb, contains page frags
with an overall skb->len larger than the linear part of the netlink
skb.skb_zerocopy(), which is generic and thus not aware of the fact that
shared info cannot be accessed for such skbs then tries to write and
fill frags, thus leaking kernel data/pointers and in some corner cases
possibly writing out of bounds of the mmap area (when filling the
last slot in the ring buffer this way).I.e. the ring buffer slot is then of status NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID, has
an advertised length larger than 4096, where the linear part is visible
at the slot beginning, and the leaked sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)
has been written to the beginning of the next slot (also corrupting
the struct nl_mmap_hdr slot header incl. status etc), since skb->end
points to skb->data + ring->frame_size - NL_MMAP_HDRLEN.The fix adds and lets __netlink_alloc_skb() take the actual needed
linear room for the network skb + meta data into account. It's completely
irrelevant for non-mmaped netlink sockets, but in case mmap sockets
are used, it can be decided whether the available skb_tailroom() is
really large enough for the buffer, or whether it needs to internally
fallback to a normal alloc_skb().>From nf queue side, the information whether the destination port is
an mmap RX ring is not really available without extra port-to-socket
lookup, thus it can only be determined in lower layers i.e. when
__netlink_alloc_skb() is called that checks internally for this. I
chose to add the extra ldiff parameter as mmap will then still work:
We have data_len and hlen in nfqnl_build_packet_message(), data_len
is the full length (capped at queue->copy_range) for skb_zerocopy()
and hlen some possible part of data_len that needs to be copied; the
rem_len variable indicates the needed remaining linear mmap space.The only other workaround in nf queue internally would be after
allocation time by f.e. cap'ing the data_len to the skb_tailroom()
iff we deal with an mmap skb, but that would 1) expose the fact that
we use a mmap skb to upper layers, and 2) trim the skb where we
otherwise could just have moved the full skb into the normal receive
queue.After the patch, in my test case the ring slot doesn't fit and therefore
shows NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY, where a full skb carries all the data and
thus needs to be picked up via recv().Fixes: 3ab1f683bf8b ("nfnetlink: add support for memory mapped netlink")

In case of netlink mmap, there can be situations where received frames
have to be placed into the normal receive queue. The ring buffer indicates
this through NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY, so the user is asked to pick them up
via recvmsg(2) syscall, and to put the slot back to NL_MMAP_STATUS_UNUSED.Commit 0ef707700f1c ("netlink: rx mmap: fix POLLIN condition") changed
polling, so that we walk in the worst case the whole ring through the
new netlink_has_valid_frame(), for example, when the ring would have no
NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID, but at least one NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY frame.Since we do a datagram_poll() already earlier to pick up a mask that could
possibly contain POLLIN | POLLRDNORM already (due to NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY),
we can skip checking the rx ring entirely.In case the kernel is compiled with !CONFIG_NETLINK_MMAP, then all this is
irrelevant anyway as netlink_poll() is just defined as datagram_poll().Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

Poll() returns immediately after setting the kernel current frame
(ring->head) to SKIP from user space even though there is no new
frame. And in a case of all frames is VALID, user space program
unintensionally sets (only) kernel current frame to UNUSED, then
calls poll(), it will not return immediately even though there are
VALID frames.To avoid situations like above, I think we need to scan all frames

[12236.694440] [] ? entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6aIt seems so far plausible that the recursive call into rtnetlink_rcv()
looks suspicious. One way, where this could trigger is that the senders
NETLINK_CB(skb).portid was wrongly 0 (which is rtnetlink socket), so
the rtnl_getlink() request's answer would be sent to the kernel instead
to the actual user process, thus grabbing rtnl_mutex() twice.One theory would be that netlink_autobind() triggered via netlink_sendmsg()
internally overwrites the -EBUSY error to 0, but where it is wrongly
originating from __netlink_insert() instead. That would reset the
socket's portid to 0, which is then filled into NETLINK_CB(skb).portid
later on. As commit d470e3b483dc ("[NETLINK]: Fix two socket hashing bugs.")
also puts it, -EBUSY should not be propagated from netlink_insert().It looks like it's very unlikely to reproduce. We need to trigger the
rhashtable_insert_rehash() handler under a situation where rehashing
currently occurs (one /rare/ way would be to hit ht->elasticity limits
while not filled enough to expand the hashtable, but that would rather
require a specifically crafted bind() sequence with knowledge about
destination slots, seems unlikely). It probably makes sense to guard
__netlink_insert() in any case and remap that error. It was suggested
that EOVERFLOW might be better than an already overloaded ENOMEM.Reference: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/372676

The module_put() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

This patch adds getsockopt(SOL_NETLINK, NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS) to
retrieve all groups a socket is a member of. Currently, we have to use
getsockname() and look at the nl.nl_groups bitmask. However, this mask is
limited to 32 groups. Hence, similar to NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and
NETLINK_DROP_MEMBERSHIP, this adds a separate sockopt to manager higher
groups IDs than 32.This new NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS option takes a pointer to __u32 and the
size of the array. The array is filled with the full membership-set of the
socket, and the required array size is returned in optlen. Hence,
user-space can retry with a properly sized array in case it was too small.Signed-off-by: David Herrmann

Currently we use a global rover to select a port ID that is unique.
This used to work consistently when it was protected with a global
lock. However as we're now lockless, the global rover can exhibit
pathological behaviour should multiple threads all stomp on it at
the same time.Granted this will eventually resolve itself but the process is
suboptimal.This patch replaces the global rover with a pseudorandom starting
point to avoid this issue.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

The commit c5adde9468b0714a051eac7f9666f23eb10b61f7 ("netlink:
eliminate nl_sk_hash_lock") breaks the autobind retry mechanism
because it doesn't reset portid after a failed netlink_insert.This means that should autobind fail the first time around, then
the socket will be stuck in limbo as it can never be bound again
since it already has a non-zero portid.Fixes: c5adde9468b0 ("netlink: eliminate nl_sk_hash_lock")

Four minor merge conflicts:
1) qca_spi.c renamed the local variable used for the SPI device
from spi_device to spi, meanwhile the spi_set_drvdata() call
got moved further up in the probe function.2) Two changes were both adding new members to codel params
structure, and thus we had overlapping changes to the
initializer function.3) 'net' was making a fix to sk_release_kernel() which is
completely removed in 'net-next'.4) In net_namespace.c, the rtnl_net_fill() call for GET operations
had the command value fixed, meanwhile 'net-next' adjusted the
argument signature a bit.This also matches example merge resolutions posted by Stephen
Rothwell over the past two days.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
