appletalk: Fix socket referencing in skb

2014-08-06T17:07:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit 36beddc272c111689f3042bf3d10a64d8a805f93 ]

Setting just skb->sk without taking its reference and setting a
destructor is invalid. However, in the places where this was done, skb
is used in a way not requiring skb->sk setting. So dropping the setting
of skb->sk.
Thanks to Eric Dumazet  for correct solution.

net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic

2014-01-03T04:33:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c ]

This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must
set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to return msg_name to the user.

This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the
recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak
uninitialized memory.

Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't
need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the
recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must
cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets
msg_name to NULL.

Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David
Miller.

Changes since RFC:

Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of
verify_iovec.

With this change in place I could remove "
if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0)
	msg->msg_name = NULL
".

This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore
msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL.

Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change
comments to netdev style.

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30+00:00

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence
of module.h from everywhere.

net: add skb frag size accessors

2011-10-19T07:10:46+00:00

To ease skb->truesize sanitization, its better to be able to localize
all references to skb frags size.

Define accessors : skb_frag_size() to fetch frag size, and
skb_frag_size_{set|add|sub}() to manipulate it.

appletalk: Fix OOPS in atalk_release().

2011-04-01T01:59:10+00:00

Commit 60d9f461a20ba59219fdcdc30cbf8e3a4ad3f625 ("appletalk: remove
the BKL") added a dereference of "sk" before checking for NULL in
atalk_release().

Guard the code block completely, rather than partially, with the
NULL check.

net/appletalk: fix atalk_release use after free

2011-03-22T01:18:00+00:00

The BKL removal in appletalk introduced a use-after-free problem,
where atalk_destroy_socket frees a sock, but we still release
the socket lock on it.

An easy fix is to take an extra reference on the sock and sock_put
it when returning from atalk_release.

appletalk: remove the BKL

2011-03-05T09:55:57+00:00

This changes appletalk to use lock_sock instead of
lock_kernel for serialization. I tried to make sure
that we don't hold the socket lock during sleeping
functions, but I did not try to prove whether the
locks are necessary in the first place.

Compile-tested only.

Converts the list and the core manipulating with it to be the same as uc_list.

+uses two functions for adding/removing mc address (normal and "global"
 variant) instead of a function parameter.
+removes dev_mcast.c completely.
+exposes netdev_hw_addr_list_* macros along with __hw_addr_* functions for
 manipulation with lists on a sandbox (used in bonding and 80211 drivers)
