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.

rtnetlink: add IFLA_GROUP to ifla_policy

2017-09-15T17:30:55+00:00

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.

Final nlmsg_len field update must reflect inserted net_dm_drop_point

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.

net: fix sk_mem_reclaim_partial()

2017-03-16T02:18:52+00:00

commit 1a24e04e4b50939daa3041682b38b82c896ca438 upstream.

sk_mem_reclaim_partial() goal is to ensure each socket has
one SK_MEM_QUANTUM forward allocation. This is needed both for
performance and better handling of memory pressure situations in
follow up patches.

SK_MEM_QUANTUM is currently a page, but might be reduced to 4096 bytes
as some arches have 64KB pages.
