  • 9e903e085   net: add skb frag size accessors ... Browse Code »

    To ease skb->truesize sanitization, its better to be able to localize
    all references to skb frags size.

    Define accessors : skb_frag_size() to fetch frag size, and
    skb_frag_size_{set|add|sub}() to manipulate it.

    Commit 60d9f461a20ba59219fdcdc30cbf8e3a4ad3f625 ("appletalk: remove
    the BKL") added a dereference of "sk" before checking for NULL in
    atalk_release().

    Guard the code block completely, rather than partially, with the
    NULL check.

    The BKL removal in appletalk introduced a use-after-free problem,
    where atalk_destroy_socket frees a sock, but we still release
    the socket lock on it.

    An easy fix is to take an extra reference on the sock and sock_put
    it when returning from atalk_release.

  • 60d9f461a   appletalk: remove the BKL ... Browse Code »

    This changes appletalk to use lock_sock instead of
    lock_kernel for serialization. I tried to make sure
    that we don't hold the socket lock during sleeping
    functions, but I did not try to prove whether the
    locks are necessary in the first place.

    Compile-tested only.

  • 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.

  • ecced8ba8   net/appletalk: push down BKL into a atalk_dgram_ops ... Browse Code »

    Making the BKL usage explicit in appletalk makes it more
    obvious where it is used, reduces code size and helps
    getting rid of the BKL in common code.

    I did not analyse how to kill lock_kernel from appletalk
    entirely, this will involve either proving that it's not
    needed, or replacing with a proper mutex or spinlock,
    after finding out which data structures are protected
    by the lock.

  • 6885ffb3a   Use correct NET_RX_* returns for atalk_rcv() ... Browse Code »

    In all rx'd SKB cases, atalk_rcv() either eventually jumps to or falls through
    to the label out:, which returns numeric 0. Numeric 0 corresponds to
    NET_RX_SUCCESS, which is incorrect in failed SKB cases.

    This patch makes atalk_rcv() provide the correct returns by:

    o explicitly returning NET_RX_SUCCESS in the two success cases
    o having the out: label return NET_RX_DROP, instead of numeric 0
    o making the failed SKB labels and processing more consistent with other
    _rcv() routines in the kernel, simplifying validation and removing a
    backwards goto

    Some protocols check sk_wmem_alloc value to determine if a timer

    value being one instead of zero when no write allocations are pending.

    Reported by Ingo Molnar, and full diagnostic from David Miller.

    and a followup patch will use these helpers to report correct
    write allocations to user.

  • 99b762338   proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner ... Browse Code »

    Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
    as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
    ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
    in module refcount underflow.

    We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
    and ->data.

    But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
    and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
    switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
    some thoughts.

    ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
    protection.

    rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
    And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
    We definitely don't want such modular code.

    Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

    So, let's nuke it.

    Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

    We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
    1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
    2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
    netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
    But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
    directly.

    This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
    Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
    But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
    I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
    which is max size allowed by vger.
