<title>net: add validation for the socket syscall protocol argument</title>

[ Upstream commit 79462ad02e861803b3840cc782248c7359451cd9 ]

郭永刚 reported that one could simply crash the kernel as root by
using a simple program:

	int socket_fd;
	struct sockaddr_in addr;
	addr.sin_port = 0;
	addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
	addr.sin_family = 10;

	socket_fd = socket(10,3,0x40000000);
	connect(socket_fd , &amp;addr,16);

AF_INET, AF_INET6 sockets actually only support 8-bit protocol
identifiers. inet_sock's skc_protocol field thus is sized accordingly,
thus larger protocol identifiers simply cut off the higher bits and
store a zero in the protocol fields.

This could lead to e.g. NULL function pointer because as a result of
the cut off inet_num is zero and we call down to inet_autobind, which
is NULL for raw sockets.

kernel: Call Trace:
kernel:  [&lt;ffffffff816db90e&gt;] ? inet_autobind+0x2e/0x70

kernel:  [&lt;ffffffff81779515&gt;] tracesys_phase2+0x84/0x89

I found no particular commit which introduced this problem.

[ Upstream commit 50010c20597d14667eff0fdb628309986f195230 ]

This is decrementing the pointer, instead of the value stored in the
pointer.  KASan detects it as an out of bounds reference.

<id>2c3fbe3cf28fbd7001545a92a83b4f8acfd9fa36</id>
<content type='text'>
In case an infinite timeout (0) is requested, the irda wait_until_sent
implementation would use a zero poll timeout rather than the default
200ms.

Note that wait_until_sent is currently never called with a 0-timeout
argument due to a bug in tty_wait_until_sent.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

In case an infinite timeout (0) is requested, the irda wait_until_sent
implementation would use a zero poll timeout rather than the default
200ms.

Note that wait_until_sent is currently never called with a 0-timeout
argument due to a bug in tty_wait_until_sent.

The rocker commit was two overlapping changes, one to rename
the -&gt;vport member to -&gt;pport, and another making the bitmask
expression use '1ULL' instead of plain '1'.

<title>net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg</title>

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
networking stack.

<title>irda: replace current-&gt;state by set_current_state()</title>

Use helper functions to access current-&gt;state.
Direct assignments are prone to races and therefore buggy.

current-&gt;state = TASK_RUNNING can be replaced by __set_current_state()

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for the exact definition of the problem.

This is only an API consolidation and should make things more readable
it replaces  var * HZ / 1000  constructs by  msecs_to_jiffies(var).
