drivers/net/wan/lapbether: Added needed_headroom and a skb->len check

2020-08-19T06:24:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit c7ca03c216acb14466a713fedf1b9f2c24994ef2 ]

1. Added a skb->len check

This driver expects upper layers to include a pseudo header of 1 byte
when passing down a skb for transmission. This driver will read this
1-byte header. This patch added a skb->len check before reading the
header to make sure the header exists.

2. Changed to use needed_headroom instead of hard_header_len to request
necessary headroom to be allocated

In net/packet/af_packet.c, the function packet_snd first reserves a
headroom of length (dev->hard_header_len + dev->needed_headroom).
Then if the socket is a SOCK_DGRAM socket, it calls dev_hard_header,
which calls dev->header_ops->create, to create the link layer header.
If the socket is a SOCK_RAW socket, it "un-reserves" a headroom of
length (dev->hard_header_len), and assumes the user to provide the
appropriate link layer header.

So according to the logic of af_packet.c, dev->hard_header_len should
be the length of the header that would be created by
dev->header_ops->create.

However, this driver doesn't provide dev->header_ops, so logically
dev->hard_header_len should be 0.

So we should use dev->needed_headroom instead of dev->hard_header_len
to request necessary headroom to be allocated.

This change fixes kernel panic when this driver is used with AF_PACKET
SOCK_RAW sockets.

drivers/net/wan: lapb: Corrected the usage of skb_cow

2020-08-05T07:58:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8754e1379e7089516a449821f88e1fe1ebbae5e1 ]

This patch fixed 2 issues with the usage of skb_cow in LAPB drivers
"lapbether" and "hdlc_x25":

1) After skb_cow fails, kfree_skb should be called to drop a reference
to the skb. But in both drivers, kfree_skb is not called.

2) skb_cow should be called before skb_push so that is can ensure the
safety of skb_push. But in "lapbether", it is incorrectly called after
skb_push.

More details about these 2 issues:

1) The behavior of calling kfree_skb on failure is also the behavior of
netif_rx, which is called by this function with "return netif_rx(skb);".
So this function should follow this behavior, too.

2) In "lapbether", skb_cow is called after skb_push. This results in 2
logical issues:
   a) skb_push is not protected by skb_cow;
   b) An extra headroom of 1 byte is ensured after skb_push. This extra
      headroom has no use in this function. It also has no use in the
      upper-layer function that this function passes the skb to
      (x25_lapb_receive_frame in net/x25/x25_dev.c).
So logically skb_cow should instead be called before skb_push.

drivers/net/wan/lapbether: Fixed the value of hard_header_len

2020-07-29T08:19:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9dc829a135fb5927f1519de11286e2bbb79f5b66 ]

When this driver transmits data,
  first this driver will remove a pseudo header of 1 byte,
  then the lapb module will prepend the LAPB header of 2 or 3 bytes,
  then this driver will prepend a length field of 2 bytes,
  then the underlying Ethernet device will prepend its own header.

So, the header length required should be:
  -1 + 3 + 2 + "the header length needed by the underlying device".

This patch fixes kernel panic when this driver is used with AF_PACKET
SOCK_DGRAM sockets.

net: wan: lapbether.c: Use built-in RCU list checking

2020-01-16T13:30:52+00:00

The only callers of the function lapbeth_get_x25_dev()
are lapbeth_rcv() and lapbeth_device_event().

lapbeth_rcv() uses rcu_read_lock() whereas lapbeth_device_event()
is called with RTNL held (As mentioned in the comments).

Therefore, pass lockdep_rtnl_is_held() as cond argument in
list_for_each_entry_rcu();

net: lapbether: fix double free

2017-11-01T03:11:02+00:00

The function netdev_priv() returns the private data of the device. The
memory to store the private data is allocated in alloc_netdev() and is
released in netdev_free(). Calling kfree() on the return value of
netdev_priv() after netdev_free() results in a double free bug.

net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.

2017-06-07T19:53:24+00:00

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops->ndo_init().  However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.

Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().

The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.

netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.

netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.

Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().

This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.

If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit().  But
it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().

This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.

However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev->destructor() will not be.

Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.

Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.

Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().

netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
free_netdev().

netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().

Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
and netdev->priv_destructor().

And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().
