ipv6: do not clear pinet6 field

2013-05-11T23:26:38+00:00

We have seen multiple NULL dereferences in __inet6_lookup_established()

After analysis, I found that inet6_sk() could be NULL while the
check for sk_family == AF_INET6 was true.

Bug was added in linux-2.6.29 when RCU lookups were introduced in UDP
and TCP stacks.

Once an IPv6 socket, using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is inserted in a hash
table, we no longer can clear pinet6 field.

This patch extends logic used in commit fcbdf09d9652c891
("net: fix nulls list corruptions in sk_prot_alloc")

TCP/UDP/UDPLite IPv6 protocols provide their own .clear_sk() method
to make sure we do not clear pinet6 field.

At socket clone phase, we do not really care, as cloning the parent (non
NULL) pinet6 is not adding a fatal race.

net: frag, fix race conditions in LRU list maintenance

2013-05-06T15:06:51+00:00

This patch fixes race between inet_frag_lru_move() and inet_frag_lru_add()
which was introduced in commit 3ef0eb0db4bf92c6d2510fe5c4dc51852746f206
("net: frag, move LRU list maintenance outside of rwlock")

One cpu already added new fragment queue into hash but not into LRU.
Other cpu found it in hash and tries to move it to the end of LRU.
This leads to NULL pointer dereference inside of list_move_tail().

Another possible race condition is between inet_frag_lru_move() and
inet_frag_lru_del(): move can happens after deletion.

This patch initializes LRU list head before adding fragment into hash and
inet_frag_lru_move() doesn't touches it if it's empty.

I saw this kernel oops two times in a couple of days.

af_unix: fix a fatal race with bit fields

2013-05-01T19:13:49+00:00

Using bit fields is dangerous on ppc64/sparc64, as the compiler [1]
uses 64bit instructions to manipulate them.
If the 64bit word includes any atomic_t or spinlock_t, we can lose
critical concurrent changes.

This is happening in af_unix, where unix_sk(sk)->gc_candidate/
gc_maybe_cycle/lock share the same 64bit word.

This leads to fatal deadlock, as one/several cpus spin forever
on a spinlock that will never be available again.

A safer way would be to use a long to store flags.
This way we are sure compiler/arch wont do bad things.

As we own unix_gc_lock spinlock when clearing or setting bits,
we can use the non atomic __set_bit()/__clear_bit().

recursion_level can share the same 64bit location with the spinlock,
as it is set only with this spinlock held.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
The following patchset contains relevant updates for the Netfilter
tree, they are:

* Enhancements for ipset: Add the counter extension for sets, this
  information can be used from the iptables set match, to change
  the matching behaviour. Jozsef required to add the extension
  infrastructure and moved the existing timeout support upon it.
  This also includes a change in net/sched/em_ipset to adapt it to
  the new extension structure.

* Enhancements for performance boosting in nfnetlink_queue: Add new
  configuration flags that allows user-space to receive big packets (GRO)
  and to disable checksumming calculation. This were proposed by Eric
  Dumazet during the Netfilter Workshop 2013 in Copenhagen. Florian
  Westphal was kind enough to find the time to materialize the proposal.

* A sparse fix from Simon, he noticed it in the SCTP NAT helper, the fix
  required a change in the interface of sctp_end_cksum.
