[ Upstream commit 1e82a62fec613844da9e558f3493540a5b7a7b67 ]

A potential deadlock can occur during registering or unregistering a
new generic netlink family between the main nl_table_lock and the
cb_lock where each thread wants the lock held by the other, as
demonstrated below.

1) Thread 1 is performing a netlink_bind() operation on a socket. As part
   of this call, it will call netlink_lock_table(), incrementing the
   nl_table_users count to 1.
2) Thread 2 is registering (or unregistering) a genl_family via the
   genl_(un)register_family() API. The cb_lock semaphore will be taken for
   writing.
3) Thread 1 will call genl_bind() as part of the bind operation to handle
   subscribing to GENL multicast groups at the request of the user. It will
   attempt to take the cb_lock semaphore for reading, but it will fail and
   be scheduled away, waiting for Thread 2 to finish the write.
4) Thread 2 will call netlink_table_grab() during the (un)registration
   call. However, as Thread 1 has incremented nl_table_users, it will not
   be able to proceed, and both threads will be stuck waiting for the
   other.

genl_bind() is a noop, unless a genl_family implements the mcast_bind()
function to handle setting up family-specific multicast operations. Since
no one in-tree uses this functionality as Cong pointed out, simply removing
the genl_bind() function will remove the possibility for deadlock, as there
is no attempt by Thread 1 above to take the cb_lock semaphore.

<title>net: netlink: cap max groups which will be considered in netlink_bind()</title>

commit 3a20773beeeeadec41477a5ba872175b778ff752 upstream.

Since nl_groups is a u32 we can't bind more groups via -&gt;bind
(netlink_bind) call, but netlink has supported more groups via
setsockopt() for a long time and thus nlk-&gt;ngroups could be over 32.
Recently I added support for per-vlan notifications and increased the
groups to 33 for NETLINK_ROUTE which exposed an old bug in the
netlink_bind() code causing out-of-bounds access on archs where unsigned
long is 32 bits via test_bit() on a local variable. Fix this by capping the
maximum groups in netlink_bind() to BITS_PER_TYPE(u32), effectively
capping them at 32 which is the minimum of allocated groups and the
maximum groups which can be bound via netlink_bind().

commit 91874ecf32e41b5d86a4cb9d60e0bee50d828058 upstream.

It's legal to have 64 groups for netlink_sock.

As user-supplied nladdr-&gt;nl_groups is __u32, it's possible to subscribe
only to first 32 groups.

The check for correctness of .bind() userspace supplied parameter
is done by applying mask made from ngroups shift. Which broke Android
as they have 64 groups and the shift for mask resulted in an overflow.

[ Upstream commit 02a2385f37a7c6594c9d89b64c4a1451276f08eb ]

nlmsg_multicast() consumes always the skb, thus the original skb must be
freed only when this function is called with a clone.

[ Upstream commit cb9f7a9a5c96a773bbc9c70660dc600cfff82f82 ]

Nowadays, nlmsg_multicast() returns only 0 or -ESRCH but this was not the
case when commit 134e63756d5f was pushed.
However, there was no reason to stop the loop if a netns does not have
listeners.
Returns -ESRCH only if there was no listeners in all netns.

To avoid having the same problem in the future, I didn't take the
assumption that nlmsg_multicast() returns only 0 or -ESRCH.
