rtnetlink: Fix memory(net_device) leak when ->newlink fails

2020-07-31T16:39:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit cebb69754f37d68e1355a5e726fdac317bcda302 ]

When vlan_newlink call register_vlan_dev fails, it might return error
with dev->reg_state = NETREG_UNREGISTERED. The rtnl_newlink should
free the memory. But currently rtnl_newlink only free the memory which
state is NETREG_UNINITIALIZED.

net: rtnetlink: validate IFLA_MTU attribute in rtnl_create_link()

[ Upstream commit d836f5c69d87473ff65c06a6123e5b2cf5e56f5b ]

rtnl_create_link() needs to apply dev->min_mtu and dev->max_mtu
checks that we apply in do_setlink()

Otherwise malicious users can crash the kernel, for example after
an integer overflow :

net: rtnetlink: prevent underflows in do_setvfinfo()

2019-11-22T17:28:46+00:00

The "ivm->vf" variable is a u32, but the problem is that a number of
drivers cast it to an int and then forget to check for negatives.  An
example of this is in the cxgb4 driver.

drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/cxgb4_main.c
  2890  static int cxgb4_mgmt_get_vf_config(struct net_device *dev,
  2891                                      int vf, struct ifla_vf_info *ivi)
                                            ^^^^^^
  2892  {
  2893          struct port_info *pi = netdev_priv(dev);
  2894          struct adapter *adap = pi->adapter;
  2895          struct vf_info *vfinfo;
  2896
  2897          if (vf >= adap->num_vfs)
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  2898                  return -EINVAL;
  2899          vfinfo = &adap->vfinfo[vf];
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

netns: fix GFP flags in rtnl_net_notifyid()

2019-10-26T03:14:42+00:00

In rtnl_net_notifyid(), we certainly can't pass a null GFP flag to
rtnl_notify(). A GFP_KERNEL flag would be fine in most circumstances,
but there are a few paths calling rtnl_net_notifyid() from atomic
context or from RCU critical sections. The later also precludes the use
of gfp_any() as it wouldn't detect the RCU case. Also, the nlmsg_new()
call is wrong too, as it uses GFP_KERNEL unconditionally.

Therefore, we need to pass the GFP flags as parameter and propagate it
through function calls until the proper flags can be determined.

In most cases, GFP_KERNEL is fine. The exceptions are:
  * openvswitch: ovs_vport_cmd_get() and ovs_vport_cmd_dump()
    indirectly call rtnl_net_notifyid() from RCU critical section,

  * rtnetlink: rtmsg_ifinfo_build_skb() already receives GFP flags as
    parameter.

Also, in ovs_vport_cmd_build_info(), let's change the GFP flags used
by nlmsg_new(). The function is allowed to sleep, so better make the
flags consistent with the ones used in the following
ovs_vport_cmd_fill_info() call.

Found by code inspection.

net: core: add generic lockdep keys

2019-10-24T21:53:48+00:00

Some interface types could be nested.
(VLAN, BONDING, TEAM, MACSEC, MACVLAN, IPVLAN, VIRT_WIFI, VXLAN, etc..)
These interface types should set lockdep class because, without lockdep
class key, lockdep always warn about unexisting circular locking.

In the current code, these interfaces have their own lockdep class keys and
these manage itself. So that there are so many duplicate code around the
/driver/net and /net/.
This patch adds new generic lockdep keys and some helper functions for it.

This patch does below changes.
a) Add lockdep class keys in struct net_device
   - qdisc_running, xmit, addr_list, qdisc_busylock
   - these keys are used as dynamic lockdep key.
b) When net_device is being allocated, lockdep keys are registered.
   - alloc_netdev_mqs()
c) When net_device is being free'd llockdep keys are unregistered.
   - free_netdev()
d) Add generic lockdep key helper function
   - netdev_register_lockdep_key()
   - netdev_unregister_lockdep_key()
   - netdev_update_lockdep_key()
e) Remove unnecessary generic lockdep macro and functions
f) Remove unnecessary lockdep code of each interfaces.

After this patch, each interface modules don't need to maintain
their lockdep keys.

rtnetlink: skip metrics loop for dst_default_metrics

2019-06-26T20:14:59+00:00

dst_default_metrics has all of the metrics initialized to 0, so nothing
will be added to the skb in rtnetlink_put_metrics. Avoid the loop if
metrics is from dst_default_metrics.

rtnetlink: always put IFLA_LINK for links with a link-netnsid

2019-05-14T22:40:01+00:00

Currently, nla_put_iflink() doesn't put the IFLA_LINK attribute when
iflink == ifindex.

In some cases, a device can be created in a different netns with the
same ifindex as its parent. That device will not dump its IFLA_LINK
attribute, which can confuse some userspace software that expects it.
For example, if the last ifindex created in init_net and foo are both
8, these commands will trigger the issue:

    ip link add parent type dummy                   # ifindex 9
    ip link add link parent netns foo type macvlan  # ifindex 9 in ns foo

So, in case a device puts the IFLA_LINK_NETNSID attribute in a dump,
always put the IFLA_LINK attribute as well.

Thanks to Dan Winship for analyzing the original OpenShift bug down to
the missing netlink attribute.
