[ Upstream commit 1853c949646005b5959c483becde86608f548f24 ]

Ken-ichirou reported that running netlink in mmap mode for receive in
combination with nlmon will throw a NULL pointer dereference in
__kfree_skb() on nlmon_xmit(), in my case I can also trigger an "unable
to handle kernel paging request". The problem is the skb_clone() in
__netlink_deliver_tap_skb() for skbs that are mmaped.

I.e. the cloned skb doesn't have a destructor, whereas the mmap netlink
skb has it pointed to netlink_skb_destructor(), set in the handler
netlink_ring_setup_skb(). There, skb-&gt;head is being set to NULL, so
that in such cases, __kfree_skb() doesn't perform a skb_release_data()
via skb_release_all(), where skb-&gt;head is possibly being freed through
kfree(head) into slab allocator, although netlink mmap skb-&gt;head points
to the mmap buffer. Similarly, the same has to be done also for large
netlink skbs where the data area is vmalloced. Therefore, as discussed,
make a copy for these rather rare cases for now. This fixes the issue
on my and Ken-ichirou's test-cases.

<title>lib/rhashtable: fix race between rhashtable_lookup_compare and hashtable resize</title>

Hash value passed as argument into rhashtable_lookup_compare could be
computed using different hash table than rhashtable_lookup_compare sees.

This patch passes key into rhashtable_lookup_compare() instead of hash and
compures hash value right in place using the same table as for lookup.

Also it adds comment for rhashtable_hashfn and rhashtable_obj_hashfn:
user must prevent concurrent insert/remove otherwise returned hash value
could be invalid.

[ Upstream commit 2ea2f62c8bda242433809c7f4e9eae1c52c40bbe ]

When I added pfmemalloc support in build_skb(), I forgot netlink
was using build_skb() with a vmalloc() area.

In this patch I introduce __build_skb() for netlink use,
and build_skb() is a wrapper handling both skb-&gt;head_frag and
skb-&gt;pfmemalloc

This means netlink no longer has to hack skb-&gt;head_frag

[ Upstream commit 2ea2f62c8bda242433809c7f4e9eae1c52c40bbe ]

When I added pfmemalloc support in build_skb(), I forgot netlink
was using build_skb() with a vmalloc() area.

In this patch I introduce __build_skb() for netlink use,
and build_skb() is a wrapper handling both skb-&gt;head_frag and
skb-&gt;pfmemalloc

This means netlink no longer has to hack skb-&gt;head_frag

[ Upstream commit a18e6a186f53af06937a2c268c72443336f4ab56 ]

Each mmap Netlink frame contains a status field which indicates
whether the frame is unused, reserved, contains data or needs to
be skipped. Both loads and stores may not be reordeded and must
complete before the status field is changed and another CPU might
pick up the frame for use. Use an smp_mb() to cover needs of both
types of callers to netlink_set_status(), callers which have been
reading data frame from the frame, and callers which have been
filling or releasing and thus writing to the frame.

- Example code path requiring a smp_rmb():
  memcpy(skb-&gt;data, (void *)hdr + NL_MMAP_HDRLEN, hdr-&gt;nm_len);
  netlink_set_status(hdr, NL_MMAP_STATUS_UNUSED);

- Example code path requiring a smp_wmb():
  hdr-&gt;nm_uid	= from_kuid(sk_user_ns(sk), NETLINK_CB(skb).creds.uid);
  hdr-&gt;nm_gid	= from_kgid(sk_user_ns(sk), NETLINK_CB(skb).creds.gid);
  netlink_frame_flush_dcache(hdr);
  netlink_set_status(hdr, NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID);

[ Upstream commit 4682a0358639b29cf69437ed909c6221f8c89847 ]

Checking the file f_count and the nlk-&gt;mapped count is not completely
sufficient to prevent the mmap'd area contents from changing from
under us during netlink mmap sendmsg() operations.

Be careful to sample the header's length field only once, because this
could change from under us as well.

[ Upstream commit 7f19fc5e0b617593dcda0d9956adc78b559ef1f5 ]

For netlink, we shouldn't be using arch_fast_hash() as a hashing
discipline, but rather jhash() instead.

Since netlink sockets can be opened by any user, a local attacker
would be able to easily create collisions with the DPDK-derived
arch_fast_hash(), which trades off performance for security by
using crc32 CPU instructions on x86_64.

While it might have a legimite use case in other places, it should
be avoided in netlink context, though. As rhashtable's API is very
flexible, we could later on still decide on other hashing disciplines,
if legitimate.

And fix wrong argument of test_bit() and off by one problem.

we used to check for "nobody else could start doing anything with
that opened file" by checking that refcount was 2 or less - one
for descriptor table and one we'd acquired in fget() on the way to
wherever we are.  That was race-prone (somebody else might have
had a reference to descriptor table and do fget() just as we'd
been checking) and it had become flat-out incorrect back when
we switched to fget_light() on those codepaths - unlike fget(),
it doesn't grab an extra reference unless the descriptor table
is shared.  The same change allowed a race-free check, though -
we are safe exactly when refcount is less than 2.

It was a long time ago; pre-2.6.12 for ioctl() (the codepath leading
to ppp one) and 2.6.17 for sendmsg() (netlink one).  OTOH,
netlink hadn't grown that check until 3.9 and ppp used to live
in drivers/net, not drivers/net/ppp until 3.1.  The bug existed
well before that, though, and the same fix used to apply in old
location of file.
