2007-10-01[IEEE80211]: avoid integer underflow for runt rx framesJohn W. Linville
Reported by Chris Evans <scarybeasts@gmail.com>: > The summary is that an evil 80211 frame can crash out a victim's > machine.

2007-10-01[SFQ]: Remove artificial limitation for queue limit.Alexey Kuznetsov
This is followup to Patrick's patch. A little optimization to enqueue routine allows to remove artificial limitation on queue length. Plus, testing showed that hash function used by SFQ is too bad or even worse. It does not even sweep the whole range of hash values. Switched to Jenkins' hash.

2007-09-28[TCP]: Fix MD5 signature handling on big-endian.David S. Miller
Based upon a report and initial patch by Peter Lieven. tcp4_md5sig_key and tcp6_md5sig_key need to start with the exact same members as tcp_md5sig_key. Because they are both cast to that type by tcp_v{4,6}_md5_do_lookup(). Unfortunately tcp{4,6}_md5sig_key use a u16 for the key length instead of a u8, which is what tcp_md5sig_key uses. This just so happens to work by accident on little-endian, but on big-endian it doesn't. Instead of casting, just place tcp_md5sig_key as the first member of the address-family specific structures, adjust the access sites, and kill off the ugly casts. Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-09-27[NET]: Zero length write() on socket should not simply return 0.David S. Miller
This fixes kernel bugzilla #5731 It should generate an empty packet for datagram protocols when the socket is connected, for one. The check is doubly-wrong because all that a write() can be is a sendmsg() call with a NULL msg_control and a single entry iovec. No special semantics should be assigned to it, therefore the zero length check should be removed entirely. This matches the behavior of BSD and several other systems. Alan Cox notes that SuSv3 says the behavior of a zero length write on non-files is "unspecified", but that's kind of useless since BSD has defined this behavior for a quarter century and BSD is essentially what application folks code to. Based upon a patch from Stephen Hemminger. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-09-25SCTP : Add paramters validity check for ASCONF chunkWei Yongjun
If ADDIP is enabled, when an ASCONF chunk is received with ASCONF paramter length set to zero, this will cause infinite loop. By the way, if an malformed ASCONF chunk is received, will cause processing to access memory without verifying. This is because of not check the validity of parameters in ASCONF chunk.

2007-09-25SCTP: Discard OOTB packetes with bundled INIT early.Vlad Yasevich
RFC 4460 and future RFC 4960 (2960-bis) specify that packets with bundled INIT chunks need to be dropped. We currenlty do that only after processing any leading chunks. For OOTB chunks, since we already walk the entire packet, we should discard packets with bundled INITs. There are other chunks chunks that MUST NOT be bundled, but the spec is silent on theire treatment. Thus, we'll leave their teatment alone for the moment.

2007-09-25SCTP: Clean up OOTB handling and fix infinite loop processingVlad Yasevich
While processing OOTB chunks as well as chunks with an invalid length of 0, it was possible to SCTP to get wedged inside an infinite loop because we didn't catch the condition correctly, or didn't mark the packet for discard correctly.

2007-09-25SCTP: Explicitely discard OOTB chunksVlad Yasevich
Explicitely discard OOTB chunks, whether the result is a SHUTDOWN COMPLETE or an ABORT. We need to discard the OOTB SHUTDOWN ACK to prevent bombing attackes since responsed MUST NOT be bundled. We also explicietely discard in the ABORT case since that function is widely used internally. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Acked-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com>
2007-09-25SCTP: Send ABORT chunk with correct tag in response to INIT ACKWei Yongjun
When SCTP client received an INIT ACK chunk with missing mandatory parameter such as "cookie parameter", it will send back a ABORT with T-bit not set and verification tag is set to 0. This is because before we accept this INIT ACK chunk, we do not know the peer's tag. This patch change to reflect vtag when responding to INIT ACK with missing mandatory parameter.

Since then we get the message lockd: too many open TCP sockets, consider increasing the number of nfsd threads lockd: last TCP connect from ^\\236^\É^D These random characters in the second line are caused by a bug in svc_tcp_accept. (Note: there are two previous __svc_print_addr(sin, buf, sizeof(buf)) calls in this function, either of which would initialize buf correctly; but both are inside "if"'s and are not necessarily executed.

2007-09-16[SCTP]: Convert bind_addr_list locking to RCUVlad Yasevich
Since the sctp_sockaddr_entry is now RCU enabled as part of the patch to synchronize sctp_localaddr_list, it makes sense to change all handling of these entries to RCU. This includes the sctp_bind_addrs structure and it's list of bound addresses. This list is currently protected by an external rw_lock and that looks like an overkill. There are only 2 writers to the list: bind()/bindx() calls, and BH processing of ASCONF-ACK chunks. These are already seriealized via the socket lock, so they will not step on each other. These are also relatively rare, so we should be good with RCU. The readers are varied and they are easily converted to RCU. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2007-09-14[NET]: Fix two issues wrt. SO_BINDTODEVICE.David S. Miller
1) Comments suggest that setting optlen to zero will unbind the socket from whatever device it might be attached to. This hasn't been the case since at least 2.2.x because the first thing this function does is return -EINVAL if 'optlen' is less than sizeof(int). This check also means that passing in a two byte string doesn't work so well. It's almost as if this code was testing with "eth?" patterned strings and nothing else :-) Fix this by breaking the logic of this facility out into a seperate function which validates optlen more appropriately. The optlen==0 and small string cases now work properly. 2) We should reset the cached route of the socket after we have made the device binding changes, not before. Reported by Ben Greear.

2007-09-11[IPv6]: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ip6_flush_pending_framesYOSHIFUJI Hideaki
Some of skbs in sk->write_queue do not have skb->dst because we do not fill skb->dst when we allocate new skb in append_data(). BTW, I think we may not need to (or we should not) increment some stats when using corking; if 100 sendmsg() (with MSG_MORE) result in 2 packets, how many should we increment? If 100, we should set skb->dst for every queued skbs. If 1 (or 2 (*)), we increment the stats for the first queued skb and we should just skip incrementing OutDiscards for the rest of queued skbs, adn we should also impelement this semantics in other places; e.g., we should increment other stats just once, not 100 times. *: depends on the place we are discarding the datagram. I guess should just increment by 1 (or 2). Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-09-11[NETFILTER]: Fix/improve deadlock condition on module removal netfilterNeil Horman
So I've had a deadlock reported to me. I've found that the sequence of events goes like this: 1) process A (modprobe) runs to remove ip_tables.ko 2) process B (iptables-restore) runs and calls setsockopt on a netfilter socket, increasing the ip_tables socket_ops use count 3) process A acquires a file lock on the file ip_tables.ko, calls remove_module in the kernel, which in turn executes the ip_tables module cleanup routine, which calls nf_unregister_sockopt 4) nf_unregister_sockopt, seeing that the use count is non-zero, puts the calling process into uninterruptible sleep, expecting the process using the socket option code to wake it up when it exits the kernel 4) the user of the socket option code (process B) in do_ipt_get_ctl, calls ipt_find_table_lock, which in this case calls request_module to load ip_tables_nat.ko 5) request_module forks a copy of modprobe (process C) to load the module and blocks until modprobe exits. 6) Process C. forked by request_module process the dependencies of ip_tables_nat.ko, of which ip_tables.ko is one. 7) Process C attempts to lock the request module and all its dependencies, it blocks when it attempts to lock ip_tables.ko (which was previously locked in step 3) Theres not really any great permanent solution to this that I can see, but I've developed a two part solution that corrects the problem Part 1) Modifies the nf_sockopt registration code so that, instead of using a use counter internal to the nf_sockopt_ops structure, we instead use a pointer to the registering modules owner to do module reference counting when nf_sockopt calls a modules set/get routine. This prevents the deadlock by preventing set 4 from happening. Part 2) Enhances the modprobe utilty so that by default it preforms non-blocking remove operations (the same way rmmod does), and add an option to explicity request blocking operation. So if you select blocking operation in modprobe you can still cause the above deadlock, but only if you explicity try (and since root can do any old stupid thing it would like.... :) ).

2007-09-11[IPV4] devinet: show all addresses assigned to interfaceStephen Hemminger
Bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8876 Not all ips are shown by "ip addr show" command when IPs number assigned to an interface is more than 60-80 (in fact it depends on broadcast/label etc presence on each address). Steps to reproduce: It's terribly simple to reproduce: # for i in $(seq 1 100); do ip ad add 10.0.$i.1/24 dev eth10 ; done # ip addr show this will _not_ show all IPs. Looks like the problem is in netlink/ipv4 message processing. This is fix from bug submitter, it looks correct.

2007-09-11[NET]: Do not dereference iov if length is zeroHerbert Xu
When msg_iovlen is zero we shouldn't try to dereference msg_iov. Right now the only thing that tries to do so is skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_iovec. Since the total length should also be zero if msg_iovlen is zero, it's sufficient to check the total length there and simply return if it's zero.
