2008-01-25cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus()Gautham R Shenoy
Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the refcount semantics in these operations. The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed. In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the cpu_present_map there.

2008-01-23[NETNS]: Re-export init_net via EXPORT_SYMBOL.Denis V. Lunev

2008-01-20[NET]: rtnl_link: fix use-after-freePatrick McHardy
When unregistering the rtnl_link_ops, all existing devices using the ops are destroyed. With nested devices this may lead to a use-after-free despite the use of for_each_netdev_safe() in case the upper device is next in the device list and is destroyed by the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier. The easy fix is to restart scanning the device list after removing a device. Alternatively we could add new devices to the front of the list to avoid having dependant devices follow the device they depend on. A third option would be to only restart scanning if dev->iflink of the next device matches dev->ifindex of the current one. For now this seems like the safest solution. With this patch, the veth rtnl_link_ops unregistration can use rtnl_link_unregister() directly since it now also handles destruction of multiple devices at once.

Commit 9cd40029423701c376391da59d2c6469672b4bed (Fix race between neigh_parms_release and neightbl_fill_parms) introduced device reference counting regressions for several people, see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9778 for example. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-01-10[NEIGH]: Fix race between neigh_parms_release and neightbl_fill_parmsPavel Emelyanov
The neightbl_fill_parms() is called under the write-locked tbl->lock and accesses the parms->dev. The negh_parm_release() calls the dev_put(parms->dev) without this lock. This creates a tiny race window on which the parms contains potentially stale dev pointer. To fix this race it's enough to move the dev_put() upper under the tbl->lock, but note, that the parms are held by neighbors and thus can live after the neigh_parms_release() is called, so we still can have a parm with bad dev pointer. I didn't find where the neigh->parms->dev is accessed, but still think that putting the dev is to be done in a place, where the parms are really freed. Am I right with that?

2008-01-08[NET]: Clone the sk_buff 'iif' field in __skb_clone()Paul Moore
Both NetLabel and SELinux (other LSMs may grow to use it as well) rely on the 'iif' field to determine the receiving network interface of inbound packets. Unfortunately, at present this field is not preserved across a skb clone operation which can lead to garbage values if the cloned skb is sent back through the network stack. This patch corrects this problem by properly copying the 'iif' field in __skb_clone() and removing the 'iif' field assignment from skb_act_clone() since it is no longer needed. Also, while we are here, put the assignments in the same order as the offsets to reduce cacheline bounces. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-12-20[NET]: Fix function put_cmsg() which may cause usr application memory overflowWei Yongjun
When used function put_cmsg() to copy kernel information to user application memory, if the memory length given by user application is not enough, by the bad length calculate of msg.msg_controllen, put_cmsg() function may cause the msg.msg_controllen to be a large value, such as 0xFFFFFFF0, so the following put_cmsg() can also write data to usr application memory even usr has no valid memory to store this. This may cause usr application memory overflow. int put_cmsg(struct msghdr * msg, int level, int type, int len, void *data) { struct cmsghdr __user *cm = (__force struct cmsghdr __user *)msg->msg_control; struct cmsghdr cmhdr; int cmlen = CMSG_LEN(len); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ int err; if (MSG_CMSG_COMPAT & msg->msg_flags) return put_cmsg_compat(msg, level, type, len, data); if (cm==NULL || msg->msg_controllen < sizeof(*cm)) { msg->msg_flags |= MSG_CTRUNC; return 0; /* XXX: return error? check spec. */ } if (msg->msg_controllen < cmlen) { ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ msg->msg_flags |= MSG_CTRUNC; cmlen = msg->msg_controllen; } cmhdr.cmsg_level = level; cmhdr.cmsg_type = type; cmhdr.cmsg_len = cmlen; err = -EFAULT; if (copy_to_user(cm, &cmhdr, sizeof cmhdr)) goto out; if (copy_to_user(CMSG_DATA(cm), data, cmlen - sizeof(struct cmsghdr))) goto out; cmlen = CMSG_SPACE(len); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If MSG_CTRUNC flags is set, msg->msg_controllen is less than CMSG_SPACE(len), "msg->msg_controllen -= cmlen" will cause unsinged int type msg->msg_controllen to be a large value. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ msg->msg_control += cmlen; msg->msg_controllen -= cmlen; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ err = 0; out: return err; } The same promble exists in put_cmsg_compat().

2007-11-26[SKBUFF]: Free old skb properly in skb_morphHerbert Xu
The skb_morph function only freed the data part of the dst skb, but leaked the auxiliary data such as the netfilter fields. This patch fixes this by moving the relevant parts from __kfree_skb to skb_release_all and calling it in skb_morph. It also makes kfree_skbmem static since it's no longer called anywhere else and it now no longer does skb_release_data. Thanks to Yasuyuki KOZAKAI for finding this problem and posting a patch for it.

Other possible solution would be to place "return 0" right after the first unlock, but at this place the err is known to be 0, so these solutions are the same except for this one makes the code shorter.

2007-11-15[INET]: Fix potential kfree on vmalloc-ed area of request_sock_queuePavel Emelyanov
The request_sock_queue's listen_opt is either vmalloc-ed or kmalloc-ed depending on the number of table entries. Thus it is expected to be handled properly on free, which is done in the reqsk_queue_destroy(). However the error path in inet_csk_listen_start() calls the lite version of reqsk_queue_destroy, called __reqsk_queue_destroy, which calls the kfree unconditionally. Fix this and move the __reqsk_queue_destroy into a .c file as it looks too big to be inline. As David also noticed, this is an error recovery path only, so no locking is required and the lopt is known to be not NULL. reqsk_queue_yank_listen_sk is also now only used in net/core/request_sock.c so we should move it there too.

2007-11-14[NET]: Remove notifier block from chain when register_netdevice_notifier failsPavel Emelyanov
Commit fcc5a03ac42564e9e255c1134dda47442289e466: [NET]: Allow netdev REGISTER/CHANGENAME events to fail makes the register_netdevice_notifier() handle the error from the NETDEV_REGISTER event, sent to the registering block. The bad news is that in this case the notifier block is not removed from the list, but the error is returned to the caller. In case the caller is in module init function and handles this error this can abort the module loading. The notifier block will be then removed from the kernel, but will be left in the list. Oops :( I think that the notifier block should be removed from the chain in case of error, regardless whether this error is handled by the caller or not. In the worst case (the error is _not_ handled) module will not receive the events any longer.

2007-11-07[NET]: Define infrastructure to keep 'inuse' changes in an efficent SMP/NUMA ↵Eric Dumazet
way. "struct proto" currently uses an array stats[NR_CPUS] to track change on 'inuse' sockets per protocol. If NR_CPUS is big, this means we use a big memory area for this. Moreover, all this memory area is located on a single node on NUMA machines, increasing memory pressure on the boot node. In this patch, I tried to : - Keep a fast !CONFIG_SMP implementation - Keep a fast CONFIG_SMP implementation for often used protocols (tcp,udp,raw,...) - Introduce a NUMA efficient implementation Some helper macros are defined in include/net/sock.h These macros take into account CONFIG_SMP If a "struct proto" is declared without using DEFINE_PROTO_INUSE / REF_PROTO_INUSE macros, it will automatically use a default implementation, using a dynamically allocated percpu zone. This default implementation will be NUMA efficient, but might use 32/64 bytes per possible cpu because of current alloc_percpu() implementation. However it still should be better than previous implementation based on stats[NR_CPUS] field. When a "struct proto" is changed to use the new macros, we use a single static "int" percpu variable, lowering the memory and cpu costs, still preserving NUMA efficiency.

2007-10-30[NET]: Fix incorrect sg_mark_end() calls.David S. Miller
This fixes scatterlist corruptions added by commit 68e3f5dd4db62619fdbe520d36c9ebf62e672256 [CRYPTO] users: Fix up scatterlist conversion errors The issue is that the code calls sg_mark_end() which clobbers the sg_page() pointer of the final scatterlist entry. The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end(). After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is what all of the callers would end up doing anyways. I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec(). Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to __sg_mark_end() as well. Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is what led to these bugs in the first place. The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable() and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h Signed-off-by: David S.

When a network namespace reference is held by a network subsystem, and when this reference is decremented in a rcu update callback, we must ensure that there is no more outstanding rcu update before trying to free the network namespace. In the normal case, the rcu_barrier is called when the network namespace is exiting in the cleanup_net function. But when a network namespace creation fails, and the subsystems are undone (like the cleanup), the rcu_barrier is missing. This patch adds the missing rcu_barrier.

2007-10-30[NET]: Fix free_netdev on register_netdev failure.Daniel Lezcano
Point 1: The unregistering of a network device schedule a netdev_run_todo. This function calls dev->destructor when it is set and the destructor calls free_netdev. Point 2: In the case of an initialization of a network device the usual code is: * alloc_netdev * register_netdev -> if this one fails, call free_netdev and exit with error. Point 3: In the register_netdevice function at the later state, when the device is at the registered state, a call to the netdevice_notifiers is made. If one of the notification falls into an error, a rollback to the registered state is done using unregister_netdevice. Conclusion: When a network device fails to register during initialization because one network subsystem returned an error during a notification call chain, the network device is freed twice because of fact 1 and fact 2. The second free_netdev will be done with an invalid pointer. Proposed solution: The following patch move all the code of unregister_netdevice *except* the call to net_set_todo, to a new function "rollback_registered". The following functions are changed in this way: * register_netdevice: calls rollback_registered when a notification fails * unregister_netdevice: calls rollback_register + net_set_todo, the call order to net_set_todo is changed because it is the latest now. Since it justs add an element to a list that should not break anything. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-29[NET]: Fix race between poll_napi() and net_rx_action()David S. Miller
netpoll_poll_lock() synchronizes the ->poll() invocation code paths, but once we have the lock we have to make sure that NAPI_STATE_SCHED is still set. Otherwise we get: cpu 0 cpu 1 net_rx_action() poll_napi() netpoll_poll_lock() ... spin on ->poll_lock ->poll() netif_rx_complete netpoll_poll_unlock() acquire ->poll_lock() ->poll() netif_rx_complete() CRASH Based upon a bug report from Tina Yang.

2007-10-26[NETNS]: Fix get_net_ns_by_pidEric W. Biederman
The pid namespace patches changed the semantics of find_task_by_pid without breaking the compile resulting in get_net_ns_by_pid doing the wrong thing. So switch to using the intended find_task_by_vpid. Combined with Denis' earlier patch to make netlink traffic fully synchronous the inadvertent race I introduced with accessing current is actually removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-26[NET]: Marking struct pernet_operations __net_initdata was inappropriateEric W. Biederman
It is not safe to to place struct pernet_operations in a special section. We need struct pernet_operations to last until we call unregister_pernet_subsys. Which doesn't happen until module unload. So marking struct pernet_operations is a disaster for modules in two ways. - We discard it before we call the exit method it points to. - Because I keep struct pernet_operations on a linked list discarding it for compiled in code removes elements in the middle of a linked list and does horrible things for linked insert. So this looks safe assuming __exit_refok is not discarded for modules. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
