Author: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Wed May 22 14:07:44 2013 -0700net: Block MSG_CMSG_COMPAT in send(m)msg and recv(m)msg
This patch adds __sys_sendmsg and __sys_sendmsg as common helpers that accept
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT and blocks MSG_CMSG_COMPAT at the syscall entrypoints. It
also reverts some unnecessary checks in sys_socketcall.Apparently I was suffering from underscore blindness the first time around.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] net: Block MSG_CMSG_COMPAT in send(m)msg and recv(m)msgMSG_CMSG_COMPAT is (AFAIK) not intended to be part of the API --
it's a hack that steals a bit to indicate to other networking code
that a compat entry was used. So don't allow it from a non-compat
syscall.This prevents an oops when running this code:
int main()
{
int s;
struct sockaddr_in addr;
struct msghdr *hdr;char *highpage = mmap((void*)(TASK_SIZE_MAX - 4096), 4096,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
if (highpage == MAP_FAILED)
err(1, "mmap");s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP);
if (s == -1)
err(1, "socket");addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
addr.sin_port = htons(1);
addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK);
if (connect(s, (struct sockaddr*)&addr, sizeof(addr)) != 0)
err(1, "connect");void *evil = highpage + 4096 - COMPAT_MSGHDR_SIZE;
printf("Evil address is %p\n", evil);if (syscall(__NR_sendmmsg, s, evil, 1, MSG_CMSG_COMPAT) < 0)
err(1, "sendmmsg");return 0;

Currently, ktime2ts is a small helper function that is only used in
net/socket.c. Move this helper into the ktime API as a small inline
function, so that i) it's maintained together with ktime routines,
and ii) also other files can make use of it. The function is named
ktime_to_timespec_cond() and placed into the generic part of ktime,
since we internally make use of ktime_to_timespec(). ktime_to_timespec()
itself does not check the ktime variable for zero, hence, we name
this function ktime_to_timespec_cond() for only a conditional
conversion, and adapt its users to it.Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

Allocating a file structure in function get_empty_filp() might fail because
of several reasons:
- not enough memory for file structures
- operation is not allowed
- user is over its limitCurrently the function returns NULL in all cases and we loose the exact
reason of the error. All callers of get_empty_filp() assume that the function
can fail with ENFILE only.Return error through pointer. Change all callers to preserve this error code.

The original suggestion to delete wanrouter started earlier
with the mainline commit f0d1b3c2bcc5de8a17af5f2274f7fcde8292b5fc
("net/wanrouter: Deprecate and schedule for removal") in May 2012.More importantly, Dan Carpenter found[1] that the driver had a
fundamental breakage introduced back in 2008, with commit
7be6065b39c3 ("netdevice wanrouter: Convert directly reference of
netdev->priv"). So we know with certainty that the code hasn't been
used by anyone willing to at least take the effort to send an e-mail
report of breakage for at least 4 years.This commit does a decouple of the wanrouter subsystem, by going
after the Makefile/Kconfig and similar files, so that these mainline
files that we are keeping do not have the big wanrouter file/driver
deletion commit tied into their history.Once this commit is in place, we then can remove the obsolete cyclomx
drivers and similar that have a dependency on CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS.[1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg218670.html

The cgroup logic part of net_cls is very similar as the one in
net_prio. Let's stream line the net_cls logic with the net_prio one.The net_prio update logic was changed by following commit (note there
were some changes necessary later on)commit 406a3c638ce8b17d9704052c07955490f732c2b8
Author: John Fastabend
Date: Fri Jul 20 10:39:25 2012 +0000net: netprio_cgroup: rework update socket logic
Instead of updating the sk_cgrp_prioidx struct field on every send
this only updates the field when a task is moved via cgroup
infrastructure.This allows sockets that may be used by a kernel worker thread
to be managed. For example in the iscsi case today a user can
put iscsid in a netprio cgroup and control traffic will be sent
with the correct sk_cgrp_prioidx value set but as soon as data
is sent the kernel worker thread isssues a send and sk_cgrp_prioidx
is updated with the kernel worker threads value which is the
default case.It seems more correct to only update the field when the user
explicitly sets it via control group infrastructure. This allows
the users to manage sockets that may be used with other threads.Since classid is now updated when the task is moved between the
cgroups, we don't have to call sock_update_classid() from various
places to ensure we always using the latest classid value.[v2: Use iterate_fd() instead of open coding]

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:
- big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
that is moved to fs/file.c(BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
struct file we used to have way back).A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
leak.- related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).- also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
switch of fdinfo to seq_file.- Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.- a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()

Commit 644595f89620 ("compat: Handle COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in
net/socket.c") introduced a bug where the helper functions to take
either a 64-bit or compat time[spec|val] got the arguments in the wrong
order, passing the kernel stack pointer off as a user pointer (and vice
versa).Because of the user address range check, that in turn then causes an
EFAULT due to the user pointer range checking failing for the kernel
address. Incorrectly resuling in a failed system call for 32-bit
processes with a 64-bit kernel.On odder architectures like HP-PA (with separate user/kernel address
spaces), it can be used read kernel memory.Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka

lsof reports some of socket descriptors as "can't identify protocol" like:
[yamato@localhost]/tmp% sudo lsof | grep dbus | grep iden
dbus-daem 652 dbus 6u sock ... 17812 can't identify protocol
dbus-daem 652 dbus 34u sock ... 24689 can't identify protocol
dbus-daem 652 dbus 42u sock ... 24739 can't identify protocol
dbus-daem 652 dbus 48u sock ... 22329 can't identify protocol
...lsof cannot resolve the protocol used in a socket because procfs
doesn't provide the map between inode number on sockfs and protocol
type of the socket.For improving the situation this patch adds an extended attribute named
'system.sockprotoname' in which the protocol name for
/proc/PID/fd/SOCKET is stored. So lsof can know the protocol for a
given /proc/PID/fd/SOCKET with getxattr system call.A few weeks ago I submitted a patch for the same purpose. The patch
was introduced /proc/net/sockfs which enumerates inodes and protocols
of all sockets alive on a system. However, it was rejected because (1)
a global lock was needed, and (2) the layout of struct socket was
changed with the patch.This patch doesn't use any global lock; and doesn't change the layout
of any structs.In this patch, a protocol name is stored to dentry->d_name of sockfs
when new socket is associated with a file descriptor. Before this
patch dentry->d_name was not used; it was just filled with empty
string. lsof may use an extended attribute named
'system.sockprotoname' to retrieve the value of dentry->d_name.It is nice if we can see the protocol name with ls -l
/proc/PID/fd. However, "socket:[#INODE]", the name format returned
from sockfs_dname() was already defined. To keep the compatibility
between kernel and user land, the extended attribute is used to
prepare the value of dentry->d_name.Signed-off-by: Masatake YAMATO

This patch fixes a crash
tun_chr_close -> netdev_run_todo -> tun_free_netdev -> sk_release_kernel ->
sock_release -> iput(SOCK_INODE(sock))
introduced by commit 1ab5ecb90cb6a3df1476e052f76a6e8f6511cb3dThe problem is that this socket is embedded in struct tun_struct, it has
no inode, iput is called on invalid inode, which modifies invalid memory
and optionally causes a crash.sock_release also decrements sockets_in_use, this causes a bug that
"sockets: used" field in /proc/*/net/sockstat keeps on decreasing when
creating and closing tun devices.This patch introduces a flag SOCK_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED that instructs
sock_release to not free the inode and not decrement sockets_in_use,
fixing both memory corruption and sockets_in_use underflow.It should be backported to 3.3 an 3.4 stabke.

The following 4 functions:
move_addr_to_kernel
move_addr_to_user
verify_iovec
verify_compat_iovec
are always effectively called with a sockaddr_storage.Make this explicit by changing their signature.
This removes a large number of casts from sockaddr_storage to sockaddr.

commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to
RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a
complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x,
y).We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL.

We're doing some odd things there, which already messes up various users
(see the net/socket.c code that this removes), and it was going to add
yet more crud to the block layer because of the incorrect error code
translation.ENOIOCTLCMD is not an error return that should be returned to user mode
from the "ioctl()" system call, but it should *not* be translated as
EINVAL ("Invalid argument"). It should be translated as ENOTTY
("Inappropriate ioctl for device").That EINVAL confusion has apparently so permeated some code that the
block layer actually checks for it, which is sad. We continue to do so
for now, but add a big comment about how wrong that is, and we should
remove it entirely eventually. In the meantime, this tries to keep the
changes localized to just the EINVAL -> ENOTTY fix, and removing code
that makes it harder to do the right thing.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Define special location values for RX NFC that request the driver to
select the actual rule location. This allows for implementation on
devices that use hash-based filter lookup, whereas currently the API is
more suited to devices with TCAM lookup or linear search.In ethtool_set_rxnfc() and the compat wrapper ethtool_ioctl(), copy
the structure back to user-space after insertion so that the actual
location is returned.Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

This patch adds in the infrastructure code to create the network priority
cgroup. The cgroup, in addition to the standard processes file creates two
control files:1) prioidx - This is a read-only file that exports the index of this cgroup.
This is a value that is both arbitrary and unique to a cgroup in this subsystem,
and is used to index the per-device priority map2) priomap - This is a writeable file. On read it reports a table of 2-tuples
where name is the name of a network interface and priority is
indicates the priority assigned to frames egresessing on the named interface and
originating from a pid in this cgroupThis cgroup allows for skb priority to be set prior to a root qdisc getting
selected. This is benenficial for DCB enabled systems, in that it allows for any
application to use dcb configured priorities so without application modificationSigned-off-by: Neil Horman
