commit 0453c682459583910d611a96de928f4442205493 upstream.

This patch adds a limit on the number of skbs that fuzzers can queue
into loopback_queue. 1000 packets for rose loopback seems more than enough.

Then, since we now have multiple cpus in most linux hosts,
we also need to limit the number of skbs rose_loopback_timer()
can dequeue at each round.

rose_loopback_queue() can be drop-monitor friendly, calling
consume_skb() or kfree_skb() appropriately.

Finally, use mod_timer() instead of del_timer() + add_timer()

commit f4979fcea7fd36d8e2f556abef86f80e0d5af1ba upstream.

Sockets can have a filter program attached that drops or trims
incoming packets based on the filter program return value.

Rose requires data packets to have at least ROSE_MIN_LEN bytes. It
verifies this on arrival in rose_route_frame and unconditionally pulls
the bytes in rose_recvmsg. The filter can trim packets to below this
value in-between, causing pull to fail, leaving the partial header at
the time of skb_copy_datagram_msg.

Place a lower bound on the size to which sk_filter may trim packets
by introducing sk_filter_trim_cap and call this for rose packets.

A ROSE socket doesn't necessarily always have a neighbour pointer so check
if the neighbour pointer is valid before dereferencing it.

<title>net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.</title>

<id>676d23690fb62b5d51ba5d659935e9f7d9da9f8e</id>
<content type='text'>
Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:

	skb_queue_tail(&amp;sk-&gt;s_receive_queue, skb);
	sk-&gt;sk_data_ready(sk, skb-&gt;len);

But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up.  So this skb-&gt;len access is potentially
to freed up memory.

Furthermore, the skb-&gt;len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.

And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument.  And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.

So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.

Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.

This is a follow-up patch to f3d3342602f8bc ("net: rework recvmsg
handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic").

DECLARE_SOCKADDR validates that the structure we use for writing the
name information to is not larger than the buffer which is reserved
for msg-&gt;msg_name (which is 128 bytes). Also use DECLARE_SOCKADDR
consistently in sendmsg code paths.

recvmsg handler in net/rose/af_rose.c performs size-check -&gt;msg_namelen.

After commit f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c
(net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic), we now
always take the else branch due to namelen being initialized to 0.

Digging in netdev-vger-cvs git repo shows that msg_namelen was
initialized with a fixed-size since at least 1995, so the else branch
was never taken.

Compile tested only.

This patch now always passes msg-&gt;msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must
set msg_namelen to the proper size &lt;= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to return msg_name to the user.

This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the
recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak
uninitialized memory.

Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't
need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the
recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must
cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets
msg_name to NULL.

Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David
Miller.

Changes since RFC:

Set msg-&gt;msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of
verify_iovec.

With this change in place I could remove "
if (!uaddr || msg_sys-&gt;msg_namelen == 0)
	msg-&gt;msg_name = NULL
".

This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore
msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL.

Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change
comments to netdev style.

<title>net: Convert uses of typedef ctl_table to struct ctl_table</title>

Reduce the uses of this unnecessary typedef.

Done via perl script:

$ git grep --name-only -w ctl_table net | \
  xargs perl -p -i -e '\
	sub trim { my ($local) = @_; $local =~ s/(^\s+|\s+$)//g; return $local; } \
        s/\b(?&lt;!struct\s)ctl_table\b(\s*\*\s*|\s+\w+)/"struct ctl_table " . trim($1)/ge'

Reflow the modified lines that now exceed 80 columns.
