This patch addresses multiple problems : UDP/RAW sendmsg() need to get a stable struct ipv6_txoptions while socket is not locked : Other threads can change np->opt concurrently. Dmitry posted a syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller) program desmonstrating use-after-free. Starting with TCP/DCCP lockless listeners, tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() and dccp_v6_request_recv_sock() also need to use RCU protection to dereference np->opt once (before calling ipv6_dup_options()) This patch adds full RCU protection to np->opt Reported-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

The Ethernet controller found in the Armada 38x SoC's family support TCP/IP checksumming with frame sizes larger than 1600 bytes, however only on port 0.

Since Armada 38x SoC can support IP checksum for jumbo frames only on a single port, it means that this feature should be enabled per-port, rather than for the whole SoC. This patch enables setting custom TX IP checksum limit by adding new optional property to the mvneta device tree node. If not used, by default 1600B is set for "marvell,armada-370-neta" and 9800B for other strings, which ensures backward compatibility. Binding documentation is updated accordingly.

In the actual RX processing, there is same error path for both descriptor ring refilling and building skb fails. This is not correct, because after successful refill, the ring is already updated with newly allocated buffer. Then, in case of build_skb() fail, hitherto code left the original buffer unmapped. This patch fixes above situation by swapping error check of skb build with DMA-unmap of original buffer.

A value originally defined in the driver was inappropriate.

Enable or disable BGX LMAC's RX/TX based on corresponding VF's status. If otherwise, when multiple LMAC's physical link is up then packets from all LMAC's whose corresponding VF is not yet initialized will get forwarded to VF0. This is due to VNIC's default configuration where CPI, RSSI e.t.c point to VF0/QSET0/RQ0. This patch will prevent multiple copies of packets on VF0.

During own review but also reported by Dmitry's syzkaller [1] it has been noticed that we trigger a heap out-of-bounds access on eBPF array maps when updating elements. This happens with each map whose map->value_size (specified during map creation time) is not multiple of 8 bytes. In array_map_alloc(), elem_size is round_up(attr->value_size, 8) and used to align array map slots for faster access. However, in function array_map_update_elem(), we update the element as ... memcpy(array->value + array->elem_size * index, value, array->elem_size); ... where we access 'value' out-of-bounds, since it was allocated from map_update_elem() from syscall side as kmalloc(map->value_size, GFP_USER) and later on copied through copy_from_user(value, uvalue, map->value_size). Thus, up to 7 bytes, we can access out-of-bounds. Same could happen from within an eBPF program, where in worst case we access beyond an eBPF program's designated stack. Since 1be7f75d ("bpf: enable non-root eBPF programs") didn't hit an official release yet, it only affects priviledged users. In case of array_map_lookup_elem(), the verifier prevents eBPF programs from accessing beyond map->value_size through check_map_access(). Also from syscall side map_lookup_elem() only copies map->value_size back to user, so nothing could leak.

Dmitry provided a syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller) triggering a fault in sock_wake_async() when async IO is requested. Said program stressed af_unix sockets, but the issue is generic and should be addressed in core networking stack. The problem is that by the time sock_wake_async() is called, we should not access the @flags field of 'struct socket', as the inode containing this socket might be freed without further notice, and without RCU grace period. We already maintain an RCU protected structure, "struct socket_wq" so moving SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE & SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA into it is the safe route. It also reduces number of cache lines needing dirtying, so might provide a performance improvement anyway. In followup patches, we might move remaining flags (SOCK_NOSPACE, SOCK_PASSCRED, SOCK_PASSSEC) to save 8 bytes and let 'struct socket' being mostly read and let it being shared between cpus.

This patch is a cleanup to make following patch easier to review. Goal is to move SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCK_ASYNC_WAITDATA from (struct socket)->flags to a (struct socket_wq)->flags to benefit from RCU protection in sock_wake_async() To ease backports, we rename both constants. Two new helpers, sk_set_bit(int nr, struct sock *sk) and sk_clear_bit(int net, struct sock *sk) are added so that following patch can change their implementation.

The N_X25 line discipline may access the previous line discipline's closed and already-freed private data on open [1]. The tty->disc_data field _never_ refers to valid data on entry to the line discipline's open() method. Rather, the ldisc is expected to initialize that field for its own use for the lifetime of the instance (ie. from open() to close() only).

This reverts commit ab450605. In IPv6, we cannot inherit the dst of the original dst. ndisc packets are IPv6 packets and may take another route than the original packet. This patch breaks the following scenario: a packet comes from eth0 and is forwarded through vxlan1. The encapsulated packet triggers an NS which cannot be sent because of the wrong route.

The receive skb buffers can be preallocated when the link is opened according to mtu size. While testing on a network environment with not standard MTU (e.g. 3000), a panic occurred if an incoming packet had a length greater than rx skb buffer size. This is because the HW is programmed to copy, from the DMA, an Jumbo frame and the Sw must check if the allocated buffer is enough to store the frame.

This fixes PPPoE connections which do not have a "Service" or "Host-Uniq" configured (which is violating the spec, but is still widely used in real-world setups).

Currently, when having map file descriptors pointing to program arrays, there's still the issue that we unconditionally flush program array contents via bpf_fd_array_map_clear() in bpf_map_release(). This happens when such a file descriptor is released and is independent of the map's refcount. Having this flush independent of the refcount is for a reason: there can be arbitrary complex dependency chains among tail calls, also circular ones (direct or indirect, nesting limit determined during runtime), and we need to make sure that the map drops all references to eBPF programs it holds, so that the map's refcount can eventually drop to zero and initiate its freeing. Btw, a walk of the whole dependency graph would not be possible for various reasons, one being complexity and another one inconsistency, i.e. new programs can be added to parts of the graph at any time, so there's no guaranteed consistent state for the time of such a walk. Now, the program array pinning itself works, but the issue is that each derived file descriptor on close would nevertheless call unconditionally into bpf_fd_array_map_clear(). Instead, keep track of users and postpone this flush until the last reference to a user is dropped. As this only concerns a subset of references (f.e. a prog array could hold a program that itself has reference on the prog array holding it, etc), we need to track them separately. Short analysis on the refcounting: on map creation time usercnt will be one, so there's no change in behaviour for bpf_map_release(), if unpinned. If we already fail in map_create(), we are immediately freed, and no file descriptor has been made public yet. In bpf_obj_pin_user(), we need to probe for a possible map in bpf_fd_probe_obj() already with a usercnt reference, so before we drop the reference on the fd with fdput(). Therefore, if actual pinning fails, we need to drop that reference again in bpf_any_put(), otherwise we keep holding it. When last reference drops on the inode, the bpf_any_put() in bpf_evict_inode() will take care of dropping the usercnt again. In the bpf_obj_get_user() case, the bpf_any_get() will grab a reference on the usercnt, still at a time when we have the reference on the path. Should we later on fail to grab a new file descriptor, bpf_any_put() will drop it, otherwise we hold it until bpf_map_release() time. Joint work with Alexei.

Commit 35a4a573 ("isdn: clean up debug format string usage") introduced a safeguard to avoid accidential format string interpolation of data when calling debugl1 or HiSax_putstatus. This did however not take into account VHiSax_putstatus (called by HiSax_putstatus) does *not* call vsprintf if the head parameter is NULL - the format string is treated as plain text then instead. As a result, the string "%s" is processed literally, and the actual information is lost. This affects the isdnlog userspace program which stopped logging information since that commit. So revert the HiSax_putstatus invocations to the previous state.

Sasha's found a NULL pointer dereference in the RDS connection code when sending a message to an apparently unbound socket. The problem is caused by the code checking if the socket is bound in rds_sendmsg(), which checks the rs_bound_addr field without taking a lock on the socket. This opens a race where rs_bound_addr is temporarily set but where the transport is not in rds_bind(), leading to a NULL pointer dereference when trying to dereference 'trans' in __rds_conn_create(). Vegard wrote a reproducer for this issue, so kindly ask him to share if you're interested. I cannot reproduce the NULL pointer dereference using Vegard's reproducer with this patch, whereas I could without.

During pre-upstream development, the openvswitch datapath used a custom hashtable to store vports that could fail on delete due to lack of memory. However, prior to upstream submission, this code was reworked to use an hlist based hastable with flexible-array based buckets. As such the failure condition was eliminated from the vport_del path, rendering this comment invalid. Signed-off-by: Aaron Conole <aconole@bytheb.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Since (at least) commit b17a7c17 ("[NET]: Do sysfs registration as part of register_netdevice."), netdev_run_todo() deals only with unregistration, so we don't need to do the rtnl_unlock/lock cycle to finish registration when failing pimreg or dvmrp device creation. In fact that opens a race condition where someone can delete the device while rtnl is unlocked because it's fully registered. The problem gets worse when netlink support is introduced as there are more points of entry that can cause it and it also makes reusing that code correctly impossible.

Normally, the transmit phase of a client call is implicitly ack'd by the reception of the first data packet of the response being received. However, if a security negotiation happens, the transmit phase, if it is entirely contained in a single packet, may get an ack packet in response and then may get aborted due to security negotiation failure. Because the client has shifted state to RXRPC_CALL_CLIENT_AWAIT_REPLY due to having transmitted all the data, the code that handles processing of the received ack packet doesn't note the hard ack the data packet. The following abort packet in the case of security negotiation failure then incurs an assertion failure when it tries to drain the Tx queue because the hard ack state is out of sync (hard ack means the packets have been processed and can be discarded by the sender; a soft ack means that the packets are received but could still be discarded and rerequested by the receiver). To fix this, we should record the hard ack we received for the ack packet. The assertion failure looks like: RxRPC: Assertion failed 1 <= 0 is false 0x1 <= 0x0 is false ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at ../net/rxrpc/ar-ack.c:431! ...
