* netlink: eliminate nl_sk_hash_lockYing Xue2015-01-133-19/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | As rhashtable_lookup_compare_insert() can guarantee the process of search and insertion is atomic, it's safe to eliminate the nl_sk_hash_lock. After this, object insertion or removal will be protected with per bucket lock on write side while object lookup is guarded with rcu read lock on read side.

* netlink: Lockless lookup with RCU grace period in socket releaseThomas Graf2015-01-032-16/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Defers the release of the socket reference using call_rcu() to allow using an RCU read-side protected call to rhashtable_lookup() This restores behaviour and performance gains as previously introduced by e341694 ("netlink: Convert netlink_lookup() to use RCU protected hash table") without the side effect of severely delayed socket destruction.

* rhashtable: Per bucket locks & deferred expansion/shrinkingThomas Graf2015-01-031-13/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduces an array of spinlocks to protect bucket mutations. The number of spinlocks per CPU is configurable and selected based on the hash of the bucket. This allows for parallel insertions and removals of entries which do not share a lock. The patch also defers expansion and shrinking to a worker queue which allows insertion and removal from atomic context. Insertions and deletions may occur in parallel to it and are only held up briefly while the particular bucket is linked or unzipped. Mutations of the bucket table pointer is protected by a new mutex, read access is RCU protected. In the event of an expansion or shrinking, the new bucket table allocated is exposed as a so called future table as soon as the resize process starts. Lookups, deletions, and insertions will briefly use both tables. The future table becomes the main table after an RCU grace period and initial linking of the old to the new table was performed. Optimization of the chains to make use of the new number of buckets follows only the new table is in use. The side effect of this is that during that RCU grace period, a bucket traversal using any rht_for_each() variant on the main table will not see any insertions performed during the RCU grace period which would at that point land in the future table. The lookup will see them as it searches both tables if needed. Having multiple insertions and removals occur in parallel requires nelems to become an atomic counter.

* rhashtable: Convert bucket iterators to take table and indexThomas Graf2015-01-032-5/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is in preparation to introduce per bucket spinlocks. It extends all iterator macros to take the bucket table and bucket index. It also introduces a new rht_dereference_bucket() to handle protected accesses to buckets. It introduces a barrier() to the RCU iterators to the prevent the compiler from caching the first element. The lockdep verifier is introduced as stub which always succeeds and properly implement in the next patch when the locks are introduced.

* netlink/genetlink: pass network namespace to bind/unbindJohannes Berg2014-12-273-19/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Netlink families can exist in multiple namespaces, and for the most part multicast subscriptions are per network namespace. Thus it only makes sense to have bind/unbind notifications per network namespace. To achieve this, pass the network namespace of a given client socket to the bind/unbind functions. Also do this in generic netlink, and there also make sure that any bind for multicast groups that only exist in init_net is rejected. This isn't really a problem if it is accepted since a client in a different namespace will never receive any notifications from such a group, but it can confuse the family if not rejected (it's also possible to silently (without telling the family) accept it, but it would also have to be ignored on unbind so families that take any kind of action on bind/unbind won't do unnecessary work for invalid clients like that.

* netlink: call unbind when releasing socketJohannes Berg2014-12-271-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, netlink_unbind() is only called when the socket explicitly unbinds, which limits its usefulness (luckily there are no users of it yet anyway.) Call netlink_unbind() also when a socket is released, so it becomes possible to track listeners with this callback and without also implementing a netlink notifier (and checking netlink_has_listeners() in there.)

* netlink: update listeners directly when removing socketJohannes Berg2014-12-271-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code is now confusing to read - first in one function down (netlink_remove) any group subscriptions are implicitly removed by calling __sk_del_bind_node(), but the subscriber database is only updated far later by calling netlink_update_listeners(). Move the latter call to just after removal from the list so it is easier to follow the code. This also enables moving the locking inside the kernel-socket conditional, which improves the normal socket destruction path.

* netlink: use jhash as hashfn for rhashtableDaniel Borkmann2014-12-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For netlink, we shouldn't be using arch_fast_hash() as a hashing discipline, but rather jhash() instead. Since netlink sockets can be opened by any user, a local attacker would be able to easily create collisions with the DPDK-derived arch_fast_hash(), which trades off performance for security by using crc32 CPU instructions on x86_64. While it might have a legimite use case in other places, it should be avoided in netlink context, though. As rhashtable's API is very flexible, we could later on still decide on other hashing disciplines, if legitimate.

* fix misuses of f_count() in ppp and netlinkAl Viro2014-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | we used to check for "nobody else could start doing anything with that opened file" by checking that refcount was 2 or less - one for descriptor table and one we'd acquired in fget() on the way to wherever we are. That was race-prone (somebody else might have had a reference to descriptor table and do fget() just as we'd been checking) and it had become flat-out incorrect back when we switched to fget_light() on those codepaths - unlike fget(), it doesn't grab an extra reference unless the descriptor table is shared. The same change allowed a race-free check, though - we are safe exactly when refcount is less than 2. It was a long time ago; pre-2.6.12 for ioctl() (the codepath leading to ppp one) and 2.6.17 for sendmsg() (netlink one). OTOH, netlink hadn't grown that check until 3.9 and ppp used to live in drivers/net, not drivers/net/ppp until 3.1. The bug existed well before that, though, and the same fix used to apply in old location of file. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Heavy Netlink users such as Open vSwitch spend a considerable amount of time in netlink_lookup() due to the read-lock on nl_table_lock. Use of RCU relieves the lock contention. Makes use of the new resizable hash table to avoid locking on the lookup. The hash table will grow if entries exceeds 75% of table size up to a total table size of 64K. It will automatically shrink if usage falls below 30%. Also splits nl_table_lock into a separate mutex to protect hash table mutations and allow synchronize_rcu() to sleep while waiting for readers during expansion and shrinking.

To prevent this we check that both the creator of the socket and the currentl applications has permission to reconfigure the network stack. Unfortunately this breaks Zebra which always uses sendto/sendmsg and creates it's socket without any privileges. To keep Zebra working don't bother checking if the creator of the socket has privilege when a destination address is specified. Instead rely exclusively on the privileges of the sender of the socket. Note from Andy: This is exactly Eric's code except for some comment clarifications and formatting fixes. Neither I nor, I think, anyone else is thrilled with this approach, but I'm hesitant to wait on a better fix since 3.15 is almost here. Note to stable maintainers: This is a mess. An earlier series of patches in 3.15 fix a rather serious security issue (CVE-2014-0181), but they did so in a way that breaks Zebra.

These were simple transformations from netlink_capable to netlink_ns_capable. The Altera driver conflict was simply code removal overlapping some void pointer cast cleanups in net-next.

| * net: Use netlink_ns_capable to verify the permisions of netlink messagesEric W. Biederman2014-04-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that privileged executable did not intend to do. To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls. Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.

* | netlink: have netlink per-protocol bind function return an error code.Richard Guy Briggs2014-04-222-22/+52
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Have the netlink per-protocol optional bind function return an int error code rather than void to signal a failure. This will enable netlink protocols to perform extra checks including capabilities and permissions verifications when updating memberships in multicast groups. In netlink_bind() and netlink_setsockopt() the call to the per-protocol bind function was moved above the multicast group update to prevent any access to the multicast socket groups before checking with the per-protocol bind function. This will enable the per-protocol bind function to be used to check permissions which could be denied before making them available, and to avoid the messy job of undoing the addition should the per-protocol bind function fail. The netfilter subsystem seems to be the only one currently using the per-protocol bind function. Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.David S. Miller2014-04-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* netlink: autosize skb lengthesEric Dumazet2014-03-102-1/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One known problem with netlink is the fact that NLMSG_GOODSIZE is really small on PAGE_SIZE==4096 architectures, and it is difficult to know in advance what buffer size is used by the application. This patch adds an automatic learning of the size. First netlink message will still be limited to ~4K, but if user used bigger buffers, then following messages will be able to use up to 16KB. This speedups dump() operations by a large factor and should be safe for legacy applications.
