net: inet_diag: always export IPV6_V6ONLY sockopt for listening sockets

2015-07-11T06:25:24+00:00

Reconsidering my commit 20462155 "net: inet_diag: export IPV6_V6ONLY
sockopt", I am not happy with the limitations it causes for socket
analysing code in userspace. Exporting the value only if it is set makes
it hard for userspace to decide whether the option is not set or the
kernel does not support exporting the option at all.

>From an auditor's perspective, the interesting question for listening
AF_INET6 sockets is: "Does it NOT have IPV6_V6ONLY set?" Because it is
the unexpected case. This patch allows to answer this question reliably.

====================
Netfilter fixes for net

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for your net tree. This batch
mostly comes with patches to address fallout from the previous merge window
cycle, they are:

1) Use entry->state.hook_list from nf_queue() instead of the global nf_hooks
   which is not valid when used from NFPROTO_NETDEV, this should cause no
   problems though since we have no userspace queueing for that family, but
   let's fix this now for the sake of correctness. Patch from Eric W. Biederman.

2) Fix compilation breakage in bridge netfilter if CONFIG_NF_DEFRAG_IPV4 is not
   set, from Bernhard Thaler.

3) Use percpu jumpstack in arptables too, now that there's a single copy of the
   rule blob we can't store the return address there anymore. Patch from
   Florian Westphal.

4) Fix a skb leak in the xmit path of bridge netfilter, problem there since
   2.6.37 although it should be not possible to hit invalid traffic there, also
   from Florian.

5) Eric Leblond reports that when loading a large ruleset with many missing
   modules after a fresh boot, nf_tables can take long time commit it. Fix this
   by processing the full batch until the end, even on missing modules, then
   abort only once and restart processing.

6) Add bridge netfilter files to the MAINTAINER files.

7) Fix a net_device refcount leak in the new IPV6 bridge netfilter code, from
   Julien Grall.

ip_tunnel: fix ipv4 pmtu check to honor inner ip header df

2015-07-08T23:03:09+00:00

Frag needed should be sent only if the inner header asked
to not fragment. Currently fragmentation is broken if the
tunnel has df set, but df was not asked in the original
packet. The tunnel's df needs to be still checked to update
internally the pmtu cache.

Commit 23a3647bc4f93bac broke it, and this commit fixes
the ipv4 df check back to the way it was.

Merge tag 'module_init-alternate_initcall-v4.1-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux

2015-07-02T17:36:29+00:00

Pull module_init replacement part two from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Replace module_init with appropriate alternate initcall in non
  modules.

  This series converts non-modular code that is using the module_init()
  call to hook itself into the system to instead use one of our
  alternate priority initcalls.

  Unlike the previous series that used device_initcall and hence was a
  runtime no-op, these commits change to one of the alternate initcalls,
  because (a) we have them and (b) it seems like the right thing to do.

  For example, it would seem logical to use arch_initcall for arch
  specific setup code and fs_initcall for filesystem setup code.

  This does mean however, that changes in the init ordering will be
  taking place, and so there is a small risk that some kind of implicit
  init ordering issue may lie uncovered.  But I think it is still better
  to give these ones sensible priorities than to just assign them all to
  device_initcall in order to exactly preserve the old ordering.

  Thad said, we have already made similar changes in core kernel code in
  commit c96d6660dc65 ("kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of
  module_init in core code") without any regressions reported, so this
  type of change isn't without precedent.  It has also got the same
  local testing and linux-next coverage as all the other pull requests
  that I'm sending for this merge window have got.

  Once again, there is an unused module_exit function removal that shows
  up as an outlier upon casual inspection of the diffstat"

netfilter: arptables: use percpu jumpstack

2015-07-02T15:58:59+00:00

commit 482cfc318559 ("netfilter: xtables: avoid percpu ruleset duplication")

Unlike ip and ip6tables, arp tables were never converted to use the percpu
jump stack.

It still uses the rule blob to store return address, which isn't safe
anymore since we now share this blob among all processors.

Because there is no TEE support for arptables, we don't need to cope
with reentrancy, so we can use loocal variable to hold stack offset.

net: inet_diag: export IPV6_V6ONLY sockopt

2015-06-24T09:51:39+00:00

For AF_INET6 sockets, the value of struct ipv6_pinfo.ipv6only is
exported to userspace. It indicates whether a socket bound to in6addr_any
listens on IPv4 as well as IPv6. Since the socket is natively IPv6, it is not
listed by e.g. 'ss -l -4'.

This patch is accompanied by an appropriate one for iproute2 to enable
the additional information in 'ss -e'.
