commit f026bc29a8e093edfbb2a77700454b285c97e8ad upstream.

Using l2tp_tunnel_find() in pppol2tp_session_create() and
l2tp_eth_create() is racy, because no reference is held on the
returned session. These functions are only used to implement the
-&gt;session_create callback which is run by l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create().
Therefore searching for the parent tunnel isn't necessary because
l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create() already has a pointer to it and holds a
reference.

This patch modifies -&gt;session_create()'s prototype to directly pass the
the parent tunnel as parameter, thus avoiding searching for it in
pppol2tp_session_create() and l2tp_eth_create().

Since we have to touch the -&gt;session_create() call in
l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create(), let's also remove the useless conditional:
we know that -&gt;session_create isn't NULL at this point because it's
already been checked earlier in this same function.

Finally, one might be tempted to think that the removed
l2tp_tunnel_find() calls were harmless because they would return the
same tunnel as the one held by l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create() anyway.
But that tunnel might be removed and a new one created with same tunnel
Id before the l2tp_tunnel_find() call. In this case l2tp_tunnel_find()
would return the new tunnel which wouldn't be protected by the
reference held by l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create().

<title>l2tp: prevent creation of sessions on terminated tunnels</title>

commit f3c66d4e144a0904ea9b95d23ed9f8eb38c11bfb upstream.

l2tp_tunnel_destruct() sets tunnel-&gt;sock to NULL, then removes the
tunnel from the pernet list and finally closes all its sessions.
Therefore, it's possible to add a session to a tunnel that is still
reachable, but for which tunnel-&gt;sock has already been reset. This can
make l2tp_session_create() dereference a NULL pointer when calling
sock_hold(tunnel-&gt;sock).

This patch adds the .acpt_newsess field to struct l2tp_tunnel, which is
used by l2tp_tunnel_closeall() to prevent addition of new sessions to
tunnels. Resetting tunnel-&gt;sock is done after l2tp_tunnel_closeall()
returned, so that l2tp_session_add_to_tunnel() can safely take a
reference on it when .acpt_newsess is true.

The .acpt_newsess field is modified in l2tp_tunnel_closeall(), rather
than in l2tp_tunnel_destruct(), so that it benefits all tunnel removal
mechanisms. E.g. on UDP tunnels, a session could be added to a tunnel
after l2tp_udp_encap_destroy() proceeded. This would prevent the tunnel
from being removed because of the references held by this new session
on the tunnel and its socket. Even though the session could be removed
manually later on, this defeats the purpose of
commit 9980d001cec8 ("l2tp: add udp encap socket destroy handler").

Use l2tp_tunnel_get() to retrieve tunnel, so that it can't go away on
us. Otherwise l2tp_tunnel_destruct() might release the last reference
count concurrently, thus freeing the tunnel while we're using it.

commit af87ae465abdc070de0dc35d6c6a9e7a8cd82987 upstream.

There's no point in checking for duplicate sessions at the beginning of
l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create(); the -&gt;session_create() callbacks already
return -EEXIST when the session already exists.

Furthermore, even if l2tp_session_find() returns NULL, a new session
might be created right after the test. So relying on -&gt;session_create()
to avoid duplicate session is the only sane behaviour.

commit 54652eb12c1b72e9602d09cb2821d5760939190f upstream.

l2tp_tunnel_find() doesn't take a reference on the returned tunnel.
Therefore, it's unsafe to use it because the returned tunnel can go
away on us anytime.

Fix this by defining l2tp_tunnel_get(), which works like
l2tp_tunnel_find(), but takes a reference on the returned tunnel.
Caller then has to drop this reference using l2tp_tunnel_dec_refcount().

As l2tp_tunnel_dec_refcount() needs to be moved to l2tp_core.h, let's
simplify the patch and not move the L2TP_REFCNT_DEBUG part. This code
has been broken (not even compiling) in May 2012 by
commit a4ca44fa578c ("net: l2tp: Standardize logging styles")
and fixed more than two years later by
commit 29abe2fda54f ("l2tp: fix missing line continuation"). So it
doesn't appear to be used by anyone.

Same thing for l2tp_tunnel_free(); instead of moving it to l2tp_core.h,
let's just simplify things and call kfree_rcu() directly in
l2tp_tunnel_dec_refcount(). Extra assertions and debugging code
provided by l2tp_tunnel_free() didn't help catching any of the
reference counting and socket handling issues found while working on
this series.

commit 9aaef50c44f132e040dcd7686c8e78a3390037c5 upstream.

Make l2tp_pernet()'s parameter constant, so that l2tp_session_get*() can
declare their "net" variable as "const".
Also constify "ifname" in l2tp_session_get_by_ifname().

commit 9ee369a405c57613d7c83a3967780c3e30c52ecc upstream.

Sessions must be fully initialised before calling
l2tp_session_add_to_tunnel(). Otherwise, there's a short time frame
where partially initialised sessions can be accessed by external users.

Fixes: dbdbc73b4478 ("l2tp: fix duplicate session creation")
