ipv6: do not clear pinet6 field

2013-05-19T17:04:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit f77d602124d865c38705df7fa25c03de9c284ad2 ]

We have seen multiple NULL dereferences in __inet6_lookup_established()

After analysis, I found that inet6_sk() could be NULL while the
check for sk_family == AF_INET6 was true.

Bug was added in linux-2.6.29 when RCU lookups were introduced in UDP
and TCP stacks.

Once an IPv6 socket, using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is inserted in a hash
table, we no longer can clear pinet6 field.

This patch extends logic used in commit fcbdf09d9652c891
("net: fix nulls list corruptions in sk_prot_alloc")

TCP/UDP/UDPLite IPv6 protocols provide their own .clear_sk() method
to make sure we do not clear pinet6 field.

At socket clone phase, we do not really care, as cloning the parent (non
NULL) pinet6 is not adding a fatal race.

net: fix incorrect credentials passing

2013-05-01T15:56:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 83f1b4ba917db5dc5a061a44b3403ddb6e783494 ]

Commit 257b5358b32f ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm
sender") changed the credentials passing code to pass in the effective
uid/gid instead of the real uid/gid.

Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are
the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong
uid/gid ends up being used.

This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit.

net: guard tcp_set_keepalive() to tcp sockets

2012-10-12T20:28:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3e10986d1d698140747fcfc2761ec9cb64c1d582 ]

Its possible to use RAW sockets to get a crash in
tcp_set_keepalive() / sk_reset_timer()

Fix is to make sure socket is a SOCK_STREAM one.

tcp: Apply device TSO segment limit earlier

2012-10-02T16:47:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1485348d2424e1131ea42efc033cbd9366462b01 ]

Cache the device gso_max_segs in sock::sk_gso_max_segs and use it to
limit the size of TSO skbs.  This avoids the need to fall back to
software GSO for local TCP senders.

net: sock: validate data_len before allocating skb in sock_alloc_send_pskb()

2012-07-16T15:47:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit cc9b17ad29ecaa20bfe426a8d4dbfb94b13ff1cc ]

We need to validate the number of pages consumed by data_len, otherwise frags
array could be overflowed by userspace. So this patch validate data_len and
return -EMSGSIZE when data_len may occupies more frags than MAX_SKB_FRAGS.

net: add POLLPRI to sock_def_readable()

2011-01-06T18:54:29+00:00

Leonardo Chiquitto found poll() could block forever on tcp sockets and
Urgent data was received, if the event flag only contains POLLPRI.

He did a bisection and found commit 4938d7e0233 (poll: avoid extra
wakeups in select/poll) was the source of the problem.

Problem is TCP sockets use standard sock_def_readable() function for
their sk_data_ready() handler, and sock_def_readable() doesnt signal
POLLPRI.

Only TCP is affected by the problem. Adding POLLPRI to the list of flags
might trigger unnecessary schedules, but URGENT handling is such a
seldom used feature this seems a good compromise.

Thanks a lot to Leonardo for providing the bisection result and a test
program as well.
