skbuff: Fix not waking applications when errors are enqueued

2018-05-31T23:30:22+00:00

commit 6e5d58fdc9bedd0255a8781b258f10bbdc63e975 upstream.

When errors are enqueued to the error queue via sock_queue_err_skb()
function, it is possible that the waiting application is not notified.

Calling 'sk->sk_data_ready()' would not notify applications that
selected only POLLERR events in poll() (for example).

net: fix race on decreasing number of TX queues

2018-05-31T23:30:15+00:00

commit ac5b70198adc25c73fba28de4f78adcee8f6be0b upstream.

netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() can be called when netdev is up.
That usually happens when user requests change of number of
channels/rings with ethtool -L.  The procedure for changing
the number of queues involves resetting the qdiscs and setting
dev->num_tx_queues to the new value.  When the new value is
lower than the old one, extra care has to be taken to ensure
ordering of accesses to the number of queues vs qdisc reset.

Currently the queues are reset before new dev->num_tx_queues
is assigned, leaving a window of time where packets can be
enqueued onto the queues going down, leading to a likely
crash in the drivers, since most drivers don't check if TX
skbs are assigned to an active queue.

net: enable interface alias removal via rtnl

2018-01-01T20:50:58+00:00

commit 2459b4c635858094df78abb9ca87d99f89fe8ca5 upstream.

IFLA_IFALIAS is defined as NLA_STRING. It means that the minimal length of
the attribute is 1 ("\0"). However, to remove an alias, the attribute
length must be 0 (see dev_set_alias()).

Let's define the type to NLA_BINARY to allow 0-length string, so that the
alias can be removed.

Example:
$ ip l s dummy0 alias foo
$ ip l l dev dummy0
5: dummy0:  mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ae:20:30:4f:a7:f3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    alias foo

Before the patch:
$ ip l s dummy0 alias ""
RTNETLINK answers: Numerical result out of range

After the patch:
$ ip l s dummy0 alias ""
$ ip l l dev dummy0
5: dummy0:  mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ae:20:30:4f:a7:f3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

net: prevent sign extension in dev_get_stats()

2017-09-15T17:30:56+00:00

commit 6f64ec74515925cced6df4571638b5a099a49aae upstream.

Similar to the fix provided by Dominik Heidler in commit
9b3dc0a17d73 ("l2tp: cast l2tp traffic counter to unsigned")
we need to take care of 32bit kernels in dev_get_stats().

When using atomic_long_read(), we add a 'long' to u64 and
might misinterpret high order bit, unless we cast to unsigned.

commit db833d40ad3263b2ee3b59a1ba168bb3cfed8137 upstream.

Network interface groups support added while ago, however
there is no IFLA_GROUP attribute description in policy
and netlink message size calculations until now.

Add IFLA_GROUP attribute to the policy.

net: mangle zero checksum in skb_checksum_help()

2017-03-16T02:18:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4f2e4ad56a65f3b7d64c258e373cb71e8d2499f4 ]

Sending zero checksum is ok for TCP, but not for UDP.

UDPv6 receiver should by default drop a frame with a 0 checksum,
and UDPv4 would not verify the checksum and might accept a corrupted
packet.

Simply replace such checksum by 0xffff, regardless of transport.

This error was caught on SIT tunnels, but seems generic.

net: clear sk_err_soft in sk_clone_lock()

[ Upstream commit e551c32d57c88923f99f8f010e89ca7ed0735e83 ]

At accept() time, it is possible the parent has a non zero
sk_err_soft, leftover from a prior error.

Make sure we do not leave this value in the child, as it
makes future getsockopt(SO_ERROR) calls quite unreliable.
