  • The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This
    patch replaces cases of:

    kzalloc(a * b, gfp)

    with:
    kcalloc(a * b, gfp)

    as well as handling cases of:

    kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

    with:

    kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

    as it's slightly less ugly than:

    kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

    This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

    kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

    though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

    Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
    dropped, since they're redundant.

    The Coccinelle script used for this was:

    // Fix redundant parens around sizeof().

  • Changes since v1:
    Added changes in these files:
    drivers/infiniband/hw/usnic/usnic_transport.c
    drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/lnet/lib-socket.c
    drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target_login.c
    drivers/vhost/net.c
    fs/dlm/lowcomms.c
    fs/ocfs2/cluster/tcp.c
    security/tomoyo/network.c

    Before:
    All these functions either return a negative error indicator,
    or store length of sockaddr into "int *socklen" parameter
    and return zero on success.

    "int *socklen" parameter is awkward. For example, if caller does not
    care, it still needs to provide on-stack storage for the value
    it does not need.

    None of the many FOO_getname() functions of various protocols
    ever used old value of *socklen. They always just overwrite it.

    This change drops this parameter, and makes all these functions, on success,
    return length of sockaddr. It's always >= 0 and can be differentiated
    from an error.

    Tests in callers are changed from "if (err)" to "if (err < 0)", where needed.

    rpc_sockname() lost "int buflen" parameter, since its only use was
    to be passed to kernel_getsockname() as &buflen and subsequently
    not used in any way.

    Userspace API is not changed.

  • /proc has been ignoring struct file_operations::owner field for 10 years.
    Specifically, it started with commit 786d7e1612f0b0adb6046f19b906609e4fe8b1ba
    ("Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries"). Notice the chunk where
    inode->i_fop is initialized with proxy struct file_operations for
    regular files:

    - if (de->proc_fops)
    - inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops;
    + if (de->proc_fops) {
    + if (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode))
    + inode->i_fop = &proc_reg_file_ops;
    + else
    + inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops;
    + }

    VFS stopped pinning module at this point.

  • With all callbacks converted, and the timer callback prototype
    switched over, the TIMER_FUNC_TYPE cast is no longer needed,
    so remove it. Conversion was done with the following scripts:

    perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_FUNC_TYPE\)||g' \
    $(git grep TIMER_FUNC_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u)

    perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_DATA_TYPE\)||g' \
    $(git grep TIMER_DATA_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u)

    The now unused macros are also dropped from include/linux/timer.h.

  • Lockdep issues a circular dependency warning when AFS issues an operation
    through AF_RXRPC from a context in which the VFS/VM holds the mmap_sem.

    The theory lockdep comes up with is as follows:

    (1) If the pagefault handler decides it needs to read pages from AFS, it
    calls AFS with mmap_sem held and AFS begins an AF_RXRPC call, but
    creating a call requires the socket lock:

    mmap_sem must be taken before sk_lock-AF_RXRPC

    (2) afs_open_socket() opens an AF_RXRPC socket and binds it. rxrpc_bind()
    binds the underlying UDP socket whilst holding its socket lock.
    inet_bind() takes its own socket lock:

    sk_lock-AF_RXRPC must be taken before sk_lock-AF_INET

    (3) Reading from a TCP socket into a userspace buffer might cause a fault
    and thus cause the kernel to take the mmap_sem, but the TCP socket is
    locked whilst doing this:

    sk_lock-AF_INET must be taken before mmap_sem

    However, lockdep's theory is wrong in this instance because it deals only
    with lock classes and not individual locks. The AF_INET lock in (2) isn't
    really equivalent to the AF_INET lock in (3) as the former deals with a
    socket entirely internal to the kernel that never sees userspace. This is
    a limitation in the design of lockdep.

    Fix the general case by:

    (1) Double up all the locking keys used in sockets so that one set are
    used if the socket is created by userspace and the other set is used
    if the socket is created by the kernel.

    (2) Store the kern parameter passed to sk_alloc() in a variable in the
    sock struct (sk_kern_sock). This informs sock_lock_init(),
    sock_init_data() and sk_clone_lock() as to the lock keys to be used.

    Note that the child created by sk_clone_lock() inherits the parent's
    kern setting.

    (3) Add a 'kern' parameter to ->accept() that is analogous to the one
    passed in to ->create() that distinguishes whether kernel_accept() or
    sys_accept4() was the caller and can be passed to sk_alloc().

    Note that a lot of accept functions merely dequeue an already
    allocated socket. I haven't touched these as the new socket already
    exists before we get the parameter.

    Note also that there are a couple of places where I've made the accepted
    socket unconditionally kernel-based:

    irda_accept()
    rds_rcp_accept_one()
    tcp_accept_from_sock()

    because they follow a sock_create_kern() and accept off of that.

    Whilst creating this, I noticed that lustre and ocfs don't create sockets
    through sock_create_kern() and thus they aren't marked as for-kernel,
    though they appear to be internal. I wonder if these should do that so
    that they use the new set of lock keys.

  • Sockets can have a filter program attached that drops or trims
    incoming packets based on the filter program return value.

    Rose requires data packets to have at least ROSE_MIN_LEN bytes. It
    verifies this on arrival in rose_route_frame and unconditionally pulls
    the bytes in rose_recvmsg. The filter can trim packets to below this
    value in-between, causing pull to fail, leaving the partial header at
    the time of skb_copy_datagram_msg.

    Place a lower bound on the size to which sk_filter may trim packets
    by introducing sk_filter_trim_cap and call this for rose packets.

  • Not setting the destination address is a bug that I suspect causes no
    problems today, as only the arp code seems to call dev_hard_header and
    the description I have of rose is that it is expected to be used with a
    static neigbour table.

    I have derived the offset and the length of the rose destination address

  • After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
    implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
    structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
    Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
    implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
    networking stack.

  • This encapsulates all of the skb_copy_datagram_iovec() callers
    with call argument signature "skb, offset, msghdr->msg_iov, length".

    When we move to iov_iters in the networking, the iov_iter object will
    sit in the msghdr.

    Having a helper like this means there will be less places to touch
    during that transformation.

    Based upon descriptions and patch from Al Viro.

  • 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.

  • This is a follow-up patch to f3d3342602f8bc ("net: rework recvmsg
    handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic").

    DECLARE_SOCKADDR validates that the structure we use for writing the
    name information to is not larger than the buffer which is reserved
    for msg->msg_name (which is 128 bytes). Also use DECLARE_SOCKADDR
    consistently in sendmsg code paths.

  • recvmsg handler in net/rose/af_rose.c performs size-check ->msg_namelen.

    After commit f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c
    (net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic), we now
    always take the else branch due to namelen being initialized to 0.

    Digging in netdev-vger-cvs git repo shows that msg_namelen was
    initialized with a fixed-size since at least 1995, so the else branch
    was never taken.

    Compile tested only.

  • The code in rose_recvmsg() does not initialize all of the members of
    struct sockaddr_rose/full_sockaddr_rose when filling the sockaddr info.
    Nor does it initialize the padding bytes of the structure inserted by
    the compiler for alignment. This will lead to leaking uninitialized
    kernel stack bytes in net/socket.c.

    Fix the issue by initializing the memory used for sockaddr info with
    memset(0).

  • 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:

  • proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries
    that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for
    removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove
    some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still
    need to call remove_proc_entry.

    this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove.
    we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.

  • Right now, some modules such as bonding use proc_create
    to create proc entries under /proc/net/, and other modules
    such as ipv4 use proc_net_fops_create.

    It looks a little chaos.this patch changes all of
    proc_net_fops_create to proc_create. we can remove
    proc_net_fops_create after this patch.
