The idea here is this minimizes the number of places one has to edit
in order to make changes to how flows are defined and used.

<title>net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=8909c9ad8ff03611c9c96c9a92656213e4bb495b'/>
<id>8909c9ad8ff03611c9c96c9a92656213e4bb495b</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

If ipip is built as a module the 'ip tunnel add' command would fail because
the ipip module was not being autoloaded.  Adding an alias for
the tunl0 device name cause dev_load() to autoload it when needed.

<title>tunnels: Fix tunnels change rcu protection</title>

<id>74b0b85b88aaa952023762e0280799aaae849841</id>
<content type='text'>
After making rcu protection for tunnels (ipip, gre, sit and ip6) a bug
was introduced into the SIOCCHGTUNNEL code.

The tunnel is first unlinked, then addresses change, then it is linked
back probably into another bucket. But while changing the parms, the
hash table is unlocked to readers and they can lookup the improper tunnel.

Respective commits are b7285b79 (ipip: get rid of ipip_lock), 1507850b
(gre: get rid of ipgre_lock), 3a43be3c (sit: get rid of ipip6_lock) and
94767632 (ip6tnl: get rid of ip6_tnl_lock).

The quick fix is to wait for quiescent state to pass after unlinking,
but if it is inappropriate I can invent something better, just let me
know.

In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we
drop it before it enters protocol stack :
- softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat)
- bad vlan tag (not accounted)
- unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted)

We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level,
and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so
that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev)

This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped
accounting), thus reverting it.
