Similar to commit 8b4c3cdd9dd8
("net: sched: Add policy validation for tc attributes"), we need
to add proper policy validation for TC action attributes too.

  There is also a patch in here to add the proper SPDX header to a bunch

<title>net: sched: don't use tc_action-&gt;order during action dump</title>

<content type='text'>
Function tcf_action_dump() relies on tc_action-&gt;order field when starting
nested nla to send action data to userspace. This approach breaks in
several cases:

- When multiple filters point to same shared action, tc_action-&gt;order field
  is overwritten each time it is attached to filter. This causes filter
  dump to output action with incorrect attribute for all filters that have
  the action in different position (different order) from the last set
  tc_action-&gt;order value.

- When action data is displayed using tc action API (RTM_GETACTION), action
  order is overwritten by tca_action_gd() according to its position in
  resulting array of nl attributes, which will break filter dump for all
  filters attached to that shared action that expect it to have different
  order value.

Don't rely on tc_action-&gt;order when dumping actions. Set nla according to
action position in resulting array of actions instead.

<title>netlink: make validation more configurable for future strictness</title>
<updated>2019-04-27T21:07:21+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=8cb081746c031fb164089322e2336a0bf5b3070c'/>
<id>8cb081746c031fb164089322e2336a0bf5b3070c</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently have two levels of strict validation:

 1) liberal (default)
     - undefined (type &gt;= max) &amp; NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted
     - garbage at end of message accepted
 2) strict (opt-in)
     - NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted

Split out parsing strictness into four different options:
 * TRAILING     - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
                  attributes (in message or nested)
 * MAXTYPE      - reject attrs &gt; max known type
 * UNSPEC       - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
 * STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size

The default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().

Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.

We end up with the following renames:
 * nla_parse           -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated
 * nla_parse_strict    -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nlmsg_parse         -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated
 * nlmsg_parse_strict  -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nla_parse_nested    -&gt; nla_parse_nested_deprecated
 * nla_validate_nested -&gt; nla_validate_nested_deprecated

For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions
yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong.

Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a
common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication.

Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every
new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the
next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is.

In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command.

<title>netlink: make nla_nest_start() add NLA_F_NESTED flag</title>

<content type='text'>
Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most
netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not
setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers
not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's
mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display
the structure of their contents.

Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be
userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than
through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames
nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start()
as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually
are rewritten to use nla_nest_start().

Except for changes in include/net/netlink.h, the patch was generated using
this semantic patch:

<title>net/sched: let actions use RCU to access 'goto_chain'</title>

<content type='text'>
use RCU when accessing the action chain, to avoid use after free in the
traffic path when 'goto chain' is replaced on existing TC actions (see
script below). Since the control action is read in the traffic path
without holding the action spinlock, we need to explicitly ensure that
a-&gt;goto_chain is not NULL before dereferencing (i.e it's not sufficient
to rely on the value of TC_ACT_GOTO_CHAIN bits). Not doing so caused NULL
dereferences in tcf_action_goto_chain_exec() when the following script:

 # tc chain add dev dd0 chain 42 ingress protocol ip flower \
 &gt; ip_proto udp action pass index 4
 # tc filter add dev dd0 ingress protocol ip flower \
 &gt; ip_proto udp action csum udp goto chain 42 index 66
 # tc chain del dev dd0 chain 42 ingress
 (start UDP traffic towards dd0)
 # tc action replace action csum udp pass index 66

was run repeatedly for several hours.

<title>net/sched: prepare TC actions to properly validate the control action</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=85d0966fa57e0ef2d30d913c98ca93674f7a03c9'/>
<id>85d0966fa57e0ef2d30d913c98ca93674f7a03c9</id>
<content type='text'>
- pass a pointer to struct tcf_proto in each actions's init() handler,
  to allow validating the control action, checking whether the chain
  exists and (eventually) refcounting it.
- remove code that validates the control action after a successful call
  to the action's init() handler, and replace it with a test that forbids
  addition of actions having 'goto_chain' and NULL goto_chain pointer at
  the same time.
- add tcf_action_check_ctrlact(), that will validate the control action
  and eventually allocate the action 'goto_chain' within the init()
  handler.
- add tcf_action_set_ctrlact(), that will assign the control action and
  swap the current 'goto_chain' pointer with the new given one.

This disallows 'goto_chain' on actions that don't initialize it properly
in their init() handler, i.e. calling tcf_action_check_ctrlact() after
successful IDR reservation and then calling tcf_action_set_ctrlact()
to assign 'goto_chain' and 'tcf_action' consistently.

By doing this, the kernel does not leak anymore refcounts when a valid
'goto chain' handle is replaced in TC actions, causing kmemleak splats
like the following one:

 # tc chain add dev dd0 chain 42 ingress protocol ip flower \
 &gt; ip_proto tcp action drop
 # tc chain add dev dd0 chain 43 ingress protocol ip flower \
 &gt; ip_proto udp action drop
 # tc filter add dev dd0 ingress matchall \
 &gt; action gact goto chain 42 index 66
 # tc filter replace dev dd0 ingress matchall \
 &gt; action gact goto chain 43 index 66
 # echo scan &gt;/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

<title>net: Change TCA_ACT_* to TCA_ID_* to match that of TCA_ID_POLICE</title>

<id>eddd2cf195d6fb5e4bbc91a0fe4be55110f559ab</id>
<content type='text'>
Modify the kernel users of the TCA_ACT_* macros to use TCA_ID_*. For
example, use TCA_ID_GACT instead of TCA_ACT_GACT. This will align with
TCA_ID_POLICE and also differentiates these identifier, used in struct
tc_action_ops type field, from other macros starting with TCA_ACT_.

To make things clearer, we name the enum defining the TCA_ID_*
identifiers and also change the "type" field of struct tc_action to
id.
