SUNRPC: Never reuse the socket port after an xs_close()

2011-03-27T19:00:45+00:00

commit 246408dcd5dfeef2df437ccb0ef4d6ee87805f58 upstream.

If we call xs_close(), we're in one of two situations:
 - Autoclose, which means we don't expect to resend a request
 - bind+connect failed, which probably means the port is in use

ethtool: Compat handling for struct ethtool_rxnfc

2011-03-27T19:00:08+00:00

commit 3a7da39d165e0c363c294feec119db1427032afd upstream.

This structure was accidentally defined such that its layout can
differ between 32-bit and 64-bit processes.  Add compat structure
definitions and an ioctl wrapper function.

RPC: killing RPC tasks races fixed

2011-03-23T19:50:35+00:00

commit 8e26de238fd794c8ea56a5c98bf67c40cfeb051d upstream.

RPC task RPC_TASK_QUEUED bit is set must be checked before trying to wake up
task rpc_killall_tasks() because task->tk_waitqueue can not be set (equal to
NULL).
Also, as Trond Myklebust mentioned, such approach (instead of checking
tk_waitqueue to NULL) allows us to "optimise away the call to
rpc_wake_up_queued_task() altogether for those
tasks that aren't queued".

Here is an example of dereferencing of tk_waitqueue equal to NULL:

CPU 0               	CPU 1				CPU 2
--------------------	---------------------	--------------------------
nfs4_run_open_task
rpc_run_task
rpc_execute
rpc_set_active
rpc_make_runnable
(waiting)
			rpc_async_schedule
			nfs4_open_prepare
			nfs_wait_on_sequence
						nfs_umount_begin
						rpc_killall_tasks
						rpc_wake_up_task
						rpc_wake_up_queued_task
						spin_lock(tk_waitqueue == NULL)
						BUG()
			rpc_sleep_on
			spin_lock(&q->lock)
			__rpc_sleep_on
			task->tk_waitqueue = q

SUNRPC: Ensure we always run the tk_callback before tk_action

2011-03-23T19:50:34+00:00

commit e020c6800c9621a77223bf2c1ff68180e41e8ebf upstream.

This fixes a race in which the task->tk_callback() puts the rpc_task
to sleep, setting a new callback. Under certain circumstances, the current
code may end up executing the task->tk_action before it gets round to the
callback.

netfilter: fix export secctx error handling

2011-03-23T19:49:56+00:00

commit cba85b532e4aabdb97f44c18987d45141fd93faa upstream.

In 1ae4de0cdf855305765592647025bde55e85e451, the secctx was exported
via the /proc/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack and ctnetlink interfaces
instead of the secmark.

That patch introduced the use of security_secid_to_secctx() which may
return a non-zero value on error.

In one of my setups, I have NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK enabled but no
security modules. Thus, security_secid_to_secctx() returns a negative
value that results in the breakage of the /proc and `conntrack -L'
outputs. To fix this, we skip the inclusion of secctx if the
aforementioned function fails.

This patch also fixes the dynamic netlink message size calculation
if security_secid_to_secctx() returns an error, since its logic is
also wrong.

This problem exists in Linux kernel >= 2.6.37.

sunrpc: Propagate errors from xs_bind() through xs_create_sock()

2011-03-23T19:49:54+00:00

commit 4cea288aaf0e11647880cc487350b1dc45d9febc upstream.

xs_create_sock() is supposed to return a pointer or an ERR_PTR-encoded
error, but it currently returns 0 if xs_bind() fails.

netfilter: arpt_mangle: fix return values of checkentry

2011-03-14T21:17:38+00:00

commit 9d0db8b6b1da9e3d4c696ef29449700c58d589db upstream.

In 135367b "netfilter: xtables: change xt_target.checkentry return type",
the type returned by checkentry was changed from boolean to int, but the
return values where not adjusted.

arptables: Input/output error

This broke arptables with the mangle target since it returns true
under success, which is interpreted by xtables as >0, thus
returning EIO.

net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules

2011-03-14T21:17:37+00:00

commit 8909c9ad8ff03611c9c96c9a92656213e4bb495b upstream.

Since a8f80e8ff94ecba629542d9b4b5f5a8ee3eb565c any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/.  This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**.  However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.

This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases.  This fixes CVE-2011-1019.

Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".

Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream
kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit.

ipvs: fix dst_lock locking on dest update

	Fix dst_lock usage in __ip_vs_update_dest. We need
_bh locking because destination is updated in user context.
Can cause lockups on frequent destination updates.
Problem reported by Simon Kirby. Bug was introduced
in 2.6.37 from the "ipvs: changes for local real server"
change.
