[ Upstream commit df85bc140a4d6cbaa78d8e9c35154e1a2f0622c7 ]

In commit 826f328e2b7e ("net: dcb: Validate netlink message in DCB
handler"), Linux started rejecting RTM_GETDCB netlink messages if they
contained a set-like DCB_CMD_ command.

The reason was that privileges were only verified for RTM_SETDCB messages,
but the value that determined the action to be taken is the command, not
the message type. And validation of message type against the DCB command
was the obvious missing piece.

Unfortunately it turns out that mlnx_qos, a somewhat widely deployed tool
for configuration of DCB, accesses the DCB set-like APIs through
RTM_GETDCB.

Therefore do not bounce the discrepancy between message type and command.
Instead, in addition to validating privileges based on the actual message
type, validate them also based on the expected message type. This closes
the loophole of allowing DCB configuration on non-admin accounts, while
maintaining backward compatibility.

[ Upstream commit 826f328e2b7e8854dd42ea44e6519cd75018e7b1 ]

DCB uses the same handler function for both RTM_GETDCB and RTM_SETDCB
messages. dcb_doit() bounces RTM_SETDCB mesasges if the user does not have
the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.

However, the operation to be performed is not decided from the DCB message
type, but from the DCB command. Thus DCB_CMD_*_GET commands are used for
reading DCB objects, the corresponding SET and DEL commands are used for
manipulation.

The assumption is that set-like commands will be sent via an RTM_SETDCB
message, and get-like ones via RTM_GETDCB. However, this assumption is not
enforced.

It is therefore possible to manipulate DCB objects without CAP_NET_ADMIN
capability by sending the corresponding command in an RTM_GETDCB message.
That is a bug. Fix it by validating the type of the request message against
the type used for the response.

[ Upstream commit 297e77e53eadb332d5062913447b104a772dc33b ]

The parameter passed via DCB_ATTR_DCB_BUFFER is a struct dcbnl_buffer. The
field prio2buffer is an array of IEEE_8021Q_MAX_PRIORITIES bytes, where
each value is a number of a buffer to direct that priority's traffic to.
That value is however never validated to lie within the bounds set by
DCBX_MAX_BUFFERS. The only driver that currently implements the callback is
mlx5 (maintainers CCd), and that does not do any validation either, in
particual allowing incorrect configuration if the prio2buffer value does
not fit into 4 bits.

Instead of offloading the need to validate the buffer index to drivers, do
it right there in core, and bounce the request if the value is too large.

<title>net: dcb: Add priority-to-DSCP map getters</title>

On ingress, a network device such as a switch assigns to packets
priority based on various criteria. Common options include interpreting
PCP and DSCP fields according to user configuration. When a packet
egresses the switch, a reverse process may rewrite PCP and/or DSCP
values according to packet priority.

The following three functions support a) obtaining a DSCP-to-priority
map or vice versa, and b) finding default-priority entries in APP
database.

The DCB subsystem supports for APP entries a very generous M:N mapping
between priorities and protocol identifiers. Understandably,
several (say) DSCP values can map to the same priority. But this
asymmetry holds the other way around as well--one priority can map to
several DSCP values. For this reason, the following functions operate in
terms of bitmaps, with ones in positions that match some APP entry.

- dcb_ieee_getapp_dscp_prio_mask_map() to compute for a given netdevice
  a map of DSCP-to-priority-mask, which gives for each DSCP value a
  bitmap of priorities related to that DSCP value by APP, along the
  lines of dcb_ieee_getapp_mask().

- dcb_ieee_getapp_prio_dscp_mask_map() similarly to compute for a given
  netdevice a map from priorities to a bitmap of DSCPs.

- dcb_ieee_getapp_default_prio_mask() which finds all default-priority
  rules for a given port in APP database, and returns a mask of
  priorities allowed by these default-priority rules.

<title>net: dcb: For wild-card lookups, use priority -1, not 0</title>

The function dcb_app_lookup walks the list of specified DCB APP entries,
looking for one that matches a given criteria: ifindex, selector,
protocol ID and optionally also priority. The "don't care" value for
priority is set to 0, because that priority has not been allowed under
CEE regime, which predates the IEEE standardization.

Under IEEE, 0 is a valid priority number. But because dcb_app_lookup
considers zero a wild card, attempts to add an APP entry with priority 0
fail when other entries exist for a given ifindex / selector / PID
triplet.

Fix by changing the wild-card value to -1.

<id>6da2ec56059c3c7a7e5f729e6349e74ace1e5c57</id>
<content type='text'>
The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

<title>net/dcb: Add dcbnl buffer attribute</title>
<updated>2018-05-24T21:22:59+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Huy Nguyen</name>
<email>huyn@mellanox.com</email>

<published>2018-02-22T17:57:10+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=e549f6f9c098067a99e9de8ac84f5cc2c07ae5c6'/>
<id>e549f6f9c098067a99e9de8ac84f5cc2c07ae5c6</id>
<content type='text'>
In this patch, we add dcbnl buffer attribute to allow user
change the NIC's buffer configuration such as priority
to buffer mapping and buffer size of individual buffer.

This attribute combined with pfc attribute allows advanced user to
fine tune the qos setting for specific priority queue. For example,
user can give dedicated buffer for one or more priorities or user
can give large buffer to certain priorities.

The dcb buffer configuration will be controlled by lldptool.
lldptool -T -i eth2 -V BUFFER prio 0,2,5,7,1,2,3,6
  maps priorities 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to receive buffer 0,2,5,7,1,2,3,6
lldptool -T -i eth2 -V BUFFER size 87296,87296,0,87296,0,0,0,0
  sets receive buffer size for buffer 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 respectively

After discussion on mailing list with Jakub, Jiri, Ido and John, we agreed to
choose dcbnl over devlink interface since this feature is intended to set
port attributes which are governed by the netdev instance of that port, where
devlink API is more suitable for global ASIC configurations.

We present an use case scenario where dcbnl buffer attribute configured
by advance user helps reduce the latency of messages of different sizes.

Scenarios description:
On ConnectX-5, we run latency sensitive traffic with
small/medium message sizes ranging from 64B to 256KB and bandwidth sensitive
traffic with large messages sizes 512KB and 1MB. We group small, medium,
and large message sizes to their own pfc enables priorities as follow.
  Priorities 1 &amp; 2 (64B, 256B and 1KB)
  Priorities 3 &amp; 4 (4KB, 8KB, 16KB, 64KB, 128KB and 256KB)
  Priorities 5 &amp; 6 (512KB and 1MB)

By default, ConnectX-5 maps all pfc enabled priorities to a single
lossless fixed buffer size of 50% of total available buffer space. The
other 50% is assigned to lossy buffer. Using dcbnl buffer attribute,
we create three equal size lossless buffers. Each buffer has 25% of total
available buffer space. Thus, the lossy buffer size reduces to 25%. Priority
to lossless  buffer mappings are set as follow.
  Priorities 1 &amp; 2 on lossless buffer #1
  Priorities 3 &amp; 4 on lossless buffer #2
  Priorities 5 &amp; 6 on lossless buffer #3

We observe improvements in latency for small and medium message sizes
as follows. Please note that the large message sizes bandwidth performance is
reduced but the total bandwidth remains the same.
  256B message size (42 % latency reduction)
  4K message size (21% latency reduction)
  64K message size (16% latency reduction)

This change allows us to later indicate to rtnetlink core that certain
doit functions should be called without acquiring rtnl_mutex.

This change should have no effect, we simply replace the last (now
unused) calcit argument with the new flag.

Found by reviewing the warning about unused policy table.
The code implies that it meant to check for size, but since
it unrolled the loop for attribute validation that is never used.
Instead do explicit check for attribute.

Compile tested only. Needs review by original author.

Add netlink_ext_ack arg to rtnl_doit_func. Pass extack arg to nlmsg_parse
for doit functions that call it directly.

This is the first step to using extended error reporting in rtnetlink.
&gt;From here individual subsystems can be updated to set netlink_ext_ack as
