  • IP addresses are often stored in netlink attributes. Add generic functions
    to do that.

    For nla_put_in_addr, it would be nicer to pass struct in_addr but this is
    not used universally throughout the kernel, in way too many places __be32 is
    used to store IPv4 address.

  • Using the IPCB() macro to get the IPv4 options is convenient, but
    unfortunately NetLabel often needs to examine the CIPSO option outside
    of the scope of the IP layer in the stack. While historically IPCB()
    worked above the IP layer, due to the inclusion of the inet_skb_param
    struct at the head of the {tcp,udp}_skb_cb structs, recent commit
    971f10ec ("tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout to reduce cache line misses")
    reordered the tcp_skb_cb struct and invalidated this IPCB() trick.

    This patch fixes the problem by creating a new function,
    cipso_v4_optptr(), which locates the CIPSO option inside the IP header
    without calling IPCB(). Unfortunately, this isn't as fast as a simple
    lookup so some additional tweaks were made to limit the use of this
    new function.

  • 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 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

  • Historically the NetLabel LSM secattr catmap functions and data
    structures have had very long names which makes a mess of the NetLabel
    code and anyone who uses NetLabel. This patch renames the catmap
    functions and structures from "*_secattr_catmap_*" to just "*_catmap_*"
    which improves things greatly.

    There are no substantial code or logic changes in this patch.

  • The two NetLabel LSM secattr catmap walk functions didn't handle
    certain edge conditions correctly, causing incorrect security labels
    to be generated in some cases. This patch corrects these problems and
    converts the functions to use the new _netlbl_secattr_catmap_getnode()
    function in order to reduce the amount of repeated code.

  • The NetLabel secattr catmap functions, and the SELinux import/export
    glue routines, were broken in many horrible ways and the SELinux glue
    code fiddled with the NetLabel catmap structures in ways that we
    probably shouldn't allow. At some point this "worked", but that was
    likely due to a bit of dumb luck and sub-par testing (both inflicted
    by yours truly). This patch corrects these problems by basically
    gutting the code in favor of something less obtuse and restoring the
    NetLabel abstractions in the SELinux catmap glue code.

    Everything is working now, and if it decides to break itself in the
    future this code will be much easier to debug than the code it
    replaces.

    One noteworthy side effect of the changes is that it is no longer
    necessary to allocate a NetLabel catmap before calling one of the
    NetLabel APIs to set a bit in the catmap. NetLabel will automatically
    allocate the catmap nodes when needed, resulting in less allocations
    when the lowest bit is greater than 255 and less code in the LSMs.

  • The NetLabel category (catmap) functions have a problem in that they
    assume categories will be set in an increasing manner, e.g. the next
    category set will always be larger than the last. Unfortunately, this
    is not a valid assumption and could result in problems when attempting
    to set categories less than the startbit in the lowest catmap node.
    In some cases kernel panics and other nasties can result.

    This patch corrects the problem by checking for this and allocating a
    new catmap node instance and placing it at the front of the list.

  • As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops()
    a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the
    macro, this is a little safer.

    The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in
    that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the
    family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and
    code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

  • TCP listener refactoring, part 5 :

    We want to be able to insert request sockets (SYN_RECV) into main
    ehash table instead of the per listener hash table to allow RCU
    lookups and remove listener lock contention.

    This patch includes the needed struct sock_common in front
    of struct request_sock

    This means there is no more inet6_request_sock IPv6 specific
    structure.

    Following inet_request_sock fields were renamed as they became
    macros to reference fields from struct sock_common.
    Prefix ir_ was chosen to avoid name collisions.

  • NetLabel has the ability to selectively assign network security labels
    to outbound traffic based on either the LSM's "domain" (different for
    each LSM), the network destination, or a combination of both. Depending
    on the type of traffic, local or forwarded, and the type of traffic
    selector, domain or address based, different hooks are used to label the
    traffic; the goal being minimal overhead.

    Unfortunately, there is a bug such that a system using NetLabel domain
    based traffic selectors does not correctly label outbound local traffic
    that is not assigned to a socket. The issue is that in these cases
    the associated NetLabel hook only looks at the address based selectors
    and not the domain based selectors. This patch corrects this by
    checking both the domain and address based selectors so that the correct
    labeling is applied, regardless of the configuration type.

    In order to acomplish this fix, this patch also simplifies some of the
    NetLabel domainhash structures to use a more common outbound traffic
    mapping type: struct netlbl_dommap_def. This simplifies some of the code
    in this patch and paves the way for further simplifications in the
    future.

  • The net/netlabel/netlabel_domainhash.c:netlbl_domhsh_add() function
    does not properly validate new domain hash entries resulting in
    potential problems when an administrator attempts to add an invalid
    entry. One such problem, as reported by Vlad Halilov, is a kernel
    BUG (found in netlabel_domainhash.c:netlbl_domhsh_audit_add()) when
    adding an IPv6 outbound mapping with a CIPSO configuration.

    This patch corrects this problem by adding the necessary validation
    code to netlbl_domhsh_add() via the newly created
    netlbl_domhsh_validate() function.

    Ideally this patch should also be pushed to the currently active

  • A recent fix to the the NetLabel code caused build problem with
    configurations that did not have IPv6 enabled; see below:

    netlabel_kapi.c: In function 'netlbl_cfg_unlbl_map_add':
    netlabel_kapi.c:165:4:
    error: implicit declaration of function 'netlbl_af6list_add'

    This patch fixes this problem by making the IPv6 specific code conditional
    on the IPv6 configuration flags as we done in the rest of NetLabel and the
    network stack as a whole. We have to move some variable declarations
    around as a result so things may not be quite as pretty, but at least it
    builds cleanly now.

    Some additional IPv6 conditionals were added to the NetLabel code as well
    for the sake of consistency.
