[ Upstream commit 7707a4d01a648e4c655101a469c956cb11273655 ]

While existing code is correct, KCSAN is reporting
a data-race in netlink_insert / netlink_sendmsg [1]

It is correct to read nlk-&gt;bound without a lock, as netlink_autobind()
will acquire all needed locks.

<title>netlink: disable IRQs for netlink_lock_table()</title>

[ Upstream commit 1d482e666b8e74c7555dbdfbfb77205eeed3ff2d ]

Syzbot reports that in mac80211 we have a potential deadlock
between our "local-&gt;stop_queue_reasons_lock" (spinlock) and
netlink's nl_table_lock (rwlock). This is because there's at
least one situation in which we might try to send a netlink
message with this spinlock held while it is also possible to
take the spinlock from a hardirq context, resulting in the
following deadlock scenario reported by lockdep:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(nl_table_lock);
                               local_irq_disable();
                               lock(&amp;local-&gt;queue_stop_reason_lock);
                               lock(nl_table_lock);
  &lt;Interrupt&gt;
    lock(&amp;local-&gt;queue_stop_reason_lock);

This seems valid, we can take the queue_stop_reason_lock in
any kind of context ("CPU0"), and call ieee80211_report_ack_skb()
with the spinlock held and IRQs disabled ("CPU1") in some
code path (ieee80211_do_stop() via ieee80211_free_txskb()).

Short of disallowing netlink use in scenarios like these
(which would be rather complex in mac80211's case due to
the deep callchain), it seems the only fix for this is to
disable IRQs while nl_table_lock is held to avoid hitting
this scenario, this disallows the "CPU0" portion of the
reported deadlock.

Note that the writer side (netlink_table_grab()) already
disables IRQs for this lock.

Unfortunately though, this seems like a huge hammer, and
maybe the whole netlink table locking should be reworked.

<title>genetlink: remove genl_bind</title>

[ 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.

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().

Pointer members of an object with static storage duration, if not
explicitly initialized, will be initialized to a NULL pointer. The
net namespace API checks if this pointer is not NULL before using it,
it are safe to remove the function.

netlink_walk_start() needed to return an error code because of
rhashtable_walk_init(). but that was converted to rhashtable_walk_enter()
and it is a void type function. so now netlink_walk_start() doesn't need
any return value.

Pull SPDX update from Greg KH:
 "Here is a series of patches that add SPDX tags to different kernel
  files, based on two different things:

   - SPDX entries are added to a bunch of files that we missed a year
     ago that do not have any license information at all.

     These were either missed because the tool saw the MODULE_LICENSE()
     tag, or some EXPORT_SYMBOL tags, and got confused and thought the
     file had a real license, or the files have been added since the
     last big sweep, or they were Makefile/Kconfig files, which we
     didn't touch last time.

   - Add GPL-2.0-only or GPL-2.0-or-later tags to files where our scan
     tools can determine the license text in the file itself. Where this
     happens, the license text is removed, in order to cut down on the
     700+ different ways we have in the kernel today, in a quest to get
     rid of all of these.

  These patches have been out for review on the linux-spdx@vger mailing
  list, and while they were created by automatic tools, they were
  hand-verified by a bunch of different people, all whom names are on
  the patches are reviewers.

  The reason for these "large" patches is if we were to continue to
  progress at the current rate of change in the kernel, adding license
  tags to individual files in different subsystems, we would be finished
  in about 10 years at the earliest.

  There will be more series of these types of patches coming over the
  next few weeks as the tools and reviewers crunch through the more
  "odd" variants of how to say "GPLv2" that developers have come up with
  over the years, combined with other fun oddities (GPL + a BSD
  disclaimer?) that are being unearthed, with the goal for the whole
  kernel to be cleaned up.

  These diffstats are not small, 3840 files are touched, over 10k lines
  removed in just 24 patches"
