rtnetlink: validate attributes in do_setlink()

2018-06-13T14:12:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit 644c7eebbfd59e72982d11ec6cc7d39af12450ae ]

It seems that rtnl_group_changelink() can call do_setlink
while a prior call to validate_linkmsg(dev = NULL, ...) could
not validate IFLA_ADDRESS / IFLA_BROADCAST

Make sure do_setlink() calls validate_linkmsg() instead
of letting its callers having this responsibility.

With help from Dmitry Vyukov, thanks a lot !

net: Fix untag for vlan packets without ethernet header

2018-05-30T05:47:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit ae4745730cf8e693d354ccd4dbaf59ea440c09a9 ]

In some situation vlan packets do not have ethernet headers. One example
is packets from tun devices. Users can specify vlan protocol in tun_pi
field instead of IP protocol, and skb_vlan_untag() attempts to untag such
packets.

skb_vlan_untag() (more precisely, skb_reorder_vlan_header() called by it)
however did not expect packets without ethernet headers, so in such a case
size argument for memmove() underflowed and triggered crash.

We don't need to copy headers for packets which do not have preceding
headers of vlan headers, so skip memmove() in that case.

net: Fix vlan untag for bridge and vlan_dev with reorder_hdr off

2018-05-30T05:47:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4bbb3e0e8239f9079bf1fe20b3c0cb598714ae61 ]

When we have a bridge with vlan_filtering on and a vlan device on top of
it, packets would be corrupted in skb_vlan_untag() called from
br_dev_xmit().

The problem sits in skb_reorder_vlan_header() used in skb_vlan_untag(),
which makes use of skb->mac_len. In this function mac_len is meant for
handling rx path with vlan devices with reorder_header disabled, but in
tx path mac_len is typically 0 and cannot be used, which is the problem
in this case.

The current code even does not properly handle rx path (skb_vlan_untag()
called from __netif_receive_skb_core()) with reorder_header off actually.

In rx path single tag case, it works as follows:

- Before skb_reorder_vlan_header()

 mac_header                                data
   v                                        v
   +-------------------+-------------+------+----
   |        ETH        |    VLAN     | ETH  |
   |       ADDRS       | TPID | TCI  | TYPE |
   +-------------------+-------------+------+----
   <-------- mac_len --------->
                       <------------->
                        to be removed

- After skb_reorder_vlan_header()

            mac_header                     data
                 v                          v
                 +-------------------+------+----
                 |        ETH        | ETH  |
                 |       ADDRS       | TYPE |
                 +-------------------+------+----
                 <-------- mac_len --------->

This is ok, but in rx double tag case, it corrupts packets:

- Before skb_reorder_vlan_header()

 mac_header                                              data
   v                                                      v
   +-------------------+-------------+-------------+------+----
   |        ETH        |    VLAN     |    VLAN     | ETH  |
   |       ADDRS       | TPID | TCI  | TPID | TCI  | TYPE |
   +-------------------+-------------+-------------+------+----
   <--------------- mac_len ---------------->
                                     <------------->
                                    should be removed
                       <--------------------------->
                         actually will be removed

- After skb_reorder_vlan_header()

            mac_header                                   data
                 v                                        v
                               +-------------------+------+----
                               |        ETH        | ETH  |
                               |       ADDRS       | TYPE |
                               +-------------------+------+----
                 <--------------- mac_len ---------------->

So, two of vlan tags are both removed while only inner one should be
removed and mac_header (and mac_len) is broken.

skb_vlan_untag() is meant for removing the vlan header at (skb->data - 2),
so use skb->data and skb->mac_header to calculate the right offset.

skbuff: return -EMSGSIZE in skb_to_sgvec to prevent overflow

2018-04-13T17:52:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 48a1df65334b74bd7531f932cca5928932abf769 ]

This is a defense-in-depth measure in response to bugs like
4d6fa57b4dab ("macsec: avoid heap overflow in skb_to_sgvec"). There's
not only a potential overflow of sglist items, but also a stack overflow
potential, so we fix this by limiting the amount of recursion this function
is allowed to do. Not actually providing a bounded base case is a future
disaster that we can easily avoid here.

As a small matter of house keeping, we take this opportunity to move the
documentation comment over the actual function the documentation is for.

While this could be implemented by using an explicit stack of skbuffs,
when implementing this, the function complexity increased considerably,
and I don't think such complexity and bloat is actually worth it. So,
instead I built this and tested it on x86, x86_64, ARM, ARM64, and MIPS,
and measured the stack usage there. I also reverted the recent MIPS
changes that give it a separate IRQ stack, so that I could experience
some worst-case situations. I found that limiting it to 24 layers deep
yielded a good stack usage with room for safety, as well as being much
deeper than any driver actually ever creates.

net: move somaxconn init from sysctl code

2018-04-13T17:52:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7c3f1875c66fbc19762760097cabc91849ea0bbb ]

The default value for somaxconn is set in sysctl_core_net_init(), but this
function is not called when kernel is configured without CONFIG_SYSCTL.

This results in the kernel not being able to accept TCP connections,
because the backlog has zero size. Usually, the user ends up with:
"TCP: request_sock_TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 7. Dropping request.  Check SNMP counters."
If SYN cookies are not enabled the connection is rejected.

Before ef547f2ac16 (tcp: remove max_qlen_log), the effects were less
severe, because the backlog was always at least eight slots long.

neighbour: update neigh timestamps iff update is effective

2018-04-13T17:52:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 77d7123342dcf6442341b67816321d71da8b2b16 ]

It's a common practice to send gratuitous ARPs after moving an
IP address to another device to speed up healing of a service. To
fulfill service availability constraints, the timing of network peers
updating their caches to point to a new location of an IP address can be
particularly important.

Sometimes neigh_update calls won't touch neither lladdr nor state, for
example if an update arrives in locktime interval. The neigh->updated
value is tested by the protocol specific neigh code, which in turn
will influence whether NEIGH_UPDATE_F_OVERRIDE gets set in the
call to neigh_update() or not. As a result, we may effectively ignore
the update request, bailing out of touching the neigh entry, except that
we still bump its timestamps inside neigh_update.

This may be a problem for updates arriving in quick succession. For
example, consider the following scenario:

A service is moved to another device with its IP address. The new device
sends three gratuitous ARP requests into the network with ~1 seconds
interval between them. Just before the first request arrives to one of
network peer nodes, its neigh entry for the IP address transitions from
STALE to DELAY.  This transition, among other things, updates
neigh->updated. Once the kernel receives the first gratuitous ARP, it
ignores it because its arrival time is inside the locktime interval. The
kernel still bumps neigh->updated. Then the second gratuitous ARP
request arrives, and it's also ignored because it's still in the (new)
locktime interval. Same happens for the third request. The node
eventually heals itself (after delay_first_probe_time seconds since the
initial transition to DELAY state), but it just wasted some time and
require a new ARP request/reply round trip. This unfortunate behaviour
both puts more load on the network, as well as reduces service
availability.

This patch changes neigh_update so that it bumps neigh->updated (as well
as neigh->confirmed) only once we are sure that either lladdr or entry
state will change). In the scenario described above, it means that the
second gratuitous ARP request will actually update the entry lladdr.

Ideally, we would update the neigh entry on the very first gratuitous
ARP request. The locktime mechanism is designed to ignore ARP updates in
a short timeframe after a previous ARP update was honoured by the kernel
layer. This would require tracking timestamps for state transitions
separately from timestamps when actual updates are received. This would
probably involve changes in neighbour struct. Therefore, the patch
doesn't tackle the issue of the first gratuitous APR ignored, leaving
it for a follow-up.
