syzbot reported the following uninit-value access issue [1]:

netlink_to_full_skb() creates a new `skb` and puts the `skb-&gt;data`
passed as a 1st arg of netlink_to_full_skb() onto new `skb`. The data
size is specified as `len` and passed to skb_put_data(). This `len`
is based on `skb-&gt;end` that is not data offset but buffer offset. The
`skb-&gt;end` contains data and tailroom. Since the tailroom is not
initialized when the new `skb` created, KMSAN detects uninitialized
memory area when copying the data.

This patch resolved this issue by correct the len from `skb-&gt;end` to
`skb-&gt;len`, which is the actual data offset.

...                                             skb_queue_tail //put skb to sk_receive_queue

      sock_put  //ref = 0
        sk_free
          ...
          __sk_destruct
            netlink_sock_destruct
              skb_queue_purge  //get skb from sk_receive_queue
                ...
                __skb_queue_purge_reason
                  kfree_skb_reason
                    __kfree_skb

                    skb_release_all
                      skb_release_head_state
                        netlink_skb_destructor
                          vfree(skb-&gt;head)  //sleeping while holding spinlock

In netlink_sendmsg, if the memory pointed to by skb-&gt;head is allocated by
vmalloc, and is put to sk_receive_queue queue, also the skb is not freed.
When the mqueue executes flush, the sleeping bug will occur. Use
vfree_atomic instead of vfree in netlink_skb_destructor to solve the issue.

                          vfree(skb-&gt;head)  //sleeping while holding spinlock

In netlink_sendmsg, if the memory pointed to by skb-&gt;head is allocated by
vmalloc, and is put to sk_receive_queue queue, also the skb is not freed.
When the mqueue executes flush, the sleeping bug will occur. Use
vfree_atomic instead of vfree in netlink_skb_destructor to solve the issue.

<title>genetlink: Use internal flags for multicast groups</title>

<id>cd4d7263d58ab98fd4dee876776e4da6c328faa3</id>
<content type='text'>
As explained in commit e03781879a0d ("drop_monitor: Require
'CAP_SYS_ADMIN' when joining "events" group"), the "flags" field in the
multicast group structure reuses uAPI flags despite the field not being
exposed to user space. This makes it impossible to extend its use
without adding new uAPI flags, which is inappropriate for internal
kernel checks.

Solve this by adding internal flags (i.e., "GENL_MCAST_*") and convert
the existing users to use them instead of the uAPI flags.

Tested using the reproducers in commit 44ec98ea5ea9 ("psample: Require
'CAP_NET_ADMIN' when joining "packets" group") and commit e03781879a0d
("drop_monitor: Require 'CAP_SYS_ADMIN' when joining "events" group").

No functional changes intended.

Introduce genl_sk_priv_get() to get the socket priv pointer for a family

Introduce __genl_sk_priv_get() to obtain socket priv pointer for a
family under RCU read lock.

Allow family to specify the priv size, init() and destroy() callbacks.

<title>drop_monitor: Require 'CAP_SYS_ADMIN' when joining "events" group</title>

<id>e03781879a0d524ce3126678d50a80484a513c4b</id>
<content type='text'>
The "NET_DM" generic netlink family notifies drop locations over the
"events" multicast group. This is problematic since by default generic
netlink allows non-root users to listen to these notifications.

Fix by adding a new field to the generic netlink multicast group
structure that when set prevents non-root users or root without the
'CAP_SYS_ADMIN' capability (in the user namespace owning the network
namespace) from joining the group. Set this field for the "events"
group. Use 'CAP_SYS_ADMIN' rather than 'CAP_NET_ADMIN' because of the
nature of the information that is shared over this group.

Note that the capability check in this case will always be performed
against the initial user namespace since the family is not netns aware
and only operates in the initial network namespace.

A new field is added to the structure rather than using the "flags"
field because the existing field uses uAPI flags and it is inappropriate
to add a new uAPI flag for an internal kernel check. In net-next we can
rework the "flags" field to use internal flags and fold the new field
into it. But for now, in order to reduce the amount of changes, add a
new field.

Since the information can only be consumed by root, mark the control
plane operations that start and stop the tracing as root-only using the
'GENL_ADMIN_PERM' flag.

Tested using [1].

Currently, split ops of doit and dumpit are merged into a single iter
item when they are subsequent. However, there is no guarantee that the
dumpit op is for the same cmd as doit op.

Fix this by checking if cmd is the same for both.
This problem does not occur in existing families.
