net, llc: convert llc_sap.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-07-04T21:35:15+00:00

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

net: convert sock.sk_refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-07-01T14:39:08+00:00

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

This patch uses refcount_inc_not_zero() instead of
atomic_inc_not_zero_hint() due to absense of a _hint()
version of refcount API. If the hint() version must
be used, we might need to revisit API.

net: llc: add lock_sock in llc_ui_bind to avoid a race condition

2017-05-26T18:20:29+00:00

There is a race condition in llc_ui_bind if two or more processes/threads
try to bind a same socket.

If more processes/threads bind a same socket success that will lead to
two problems, one is this action is not what we expected, another is
will lead to kernel in unstable status or oops(in my simple test case,
cause llc2.ko can't unload).

The current code is test SOCK_ZAPPED bit to avoid a process to
bind a same socket twice but that is can't avoid more processes/threads
try to bind a same socket at the same time.

So, add lock_sock in llc_ui_bind like others, such as llc_ui_connect.

mm: Rename SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU

2017-04-18T18:42:36+00:00

A group of Linux kernel hackers reported chasing a bug that resulted
from their assumption that SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU provided an existence
guarantee, that is, that no block from such a slab would be reallocated
during an RCU read-side critical section.  Of course, that is not the
case.  Instead, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU only prevents freeing of an entire
slab of blocks.

However, there is a phrase for this, namely "type safety".  This commit
therefore renames SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU in order
to avoid future instances of this sort of confusion.

net: Work around lockdep limitation in sockets that use sockets

2017-03-10T02:23:27+00:00

Lockdep issues a circular dependency warning when AFS issues an operation
through AF_RXRPC from a context in which the VFS/VM holds the mmap_sem.

The theory lockdep comes up with is as follows:

 (1) If the pagefault handler decides it needs to read pages from AFS, it
     calls AFS with mmap_sem held and AFS begins an AF_RXRPC call, but
     creating a call requires the socket lock:

	mmap_sem must be taken before sk_lock-AF_RXRPC

 (2) afs_open_socket() opens an AF_RXRPC socket and binds it.  rxrpc_bind()
     binds the underlying UDP socket whilst holding its socket lock.
     inet_bind() takes its own socket lock:

	sk_lock-AF_RXRPC must be taken before sk_lock-AF_INET

 (3) Reading from a TCP socket into a userspace buffer might cause a fault
     and thus cause the kernel to take the mmap_sem, but the TCP socket is
     locked whilst doing this:

	sk_lock-AF_INET must be taken before mmap_sem

However, lockdep's theory is wrong in this instance because it deals only
with lock classes and not individual locks.  The AF_INET lock in (2) isn't
really equivalent to the AF_INET lock in (3) as the former deals with a
socket entirely internal to the kernel that never sees userspace.  This is
a limitation in the design of lockdep.

Fix the general case by:

 (1) Double up all the locking keys used in sockets so that one set are
     used if the socket is created by userspace and the other set is used
     if the socket is created by the kernel.

 (2) Store the kern parameter passed to sk_alloc() in a variable in the
     sock struct (sk_kern_sock).  This informs sock_lock_init(),
     sock_init_data() and sk_clone_lock() as to the lock keys to be used.

     Note that the child created by sk_clone_lock() inherits the parent's
     kern setting.

 (3) Add a 'kern' parameter to ->accept() that is analogous to the one
     passed in to ->create() that distinguishes whether kernel_accept() or
     sys_accept4() was the caller and can be passed to sk_alloc().

     Note that a lot of accept functions merely dequeue an already
     allocated socket.  I haven't touched these as the new socket already
     exists before we get the parameter.

     Note also that there are a couple of places where I've made the accepted
     socket unconditionally kernel-based:

	irda_accept()
	rds_rcp_accept_one()
	tcp_accept_from_sock()

     because they follow a sock_create_kern() and accept off of that.

Whilst creating this, I noticed that lustre and ocfs don't create sockets
through sock_create_kern() and thus they aren't marked as for-kernel,
though they appear to be internal.  I wonder if these should do that so
that they use the new set of lock keys.

net/llc: avoid BUG_ON() in skb_orphan()

2017-02-13T03:14:49+00:00

It seems nobody used LLC since linux-3.12.

Fortunately fuzzers like syzkaller still know how to run this code,
otherwise it would be no fun.

Setting skb->sk without skb->destructor leads to all kinds of
bugs, we now prefer to be very strict about it.

Ideally here we would use skb_set_owner() but this helper does not exist yet,
only CAN seems to have a private helper for that.

net: fix sleeping for sk_wait_event()

2016-11-14T18:17:21+00:00

Similar to commit 14135f30e33c ("inet: fix sleeping inside inet_wait_for_connect()"),
sk_wait_event() needs to fix too, because release_sock() is blocking,
it changes the process state back to running after sleep, which breaks
the previous prepare_to_wait().

Switch to the new wait API.
