net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic

2013-12-08T15:29:13Z

[ Upstream commit f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c ] This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) to return msg_name to the user. This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak uninitialized memory. Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets msg_name to NULL. Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David Miller. Changes since RFC: Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of verify_iovec. With this change in place I could remove " if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0) msg->msg_name = NULL ". This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL. Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change comments to netdev style.

ip: generate unique IP identificator if local fragmentation is allowed

2013-09-19T18:11:15Z

If local fragmentation is allowed, then ip_select_ident() and ip_select_ident_more() need to generate unique IDs to ensure correct defragmentation on the peer. For example, if IPsec (tunnel mode) has to encrypt large skbs that have local_df bit set, then all IP fragments that belonged to different ESP datagrams would have used the same identificator. If one of these IP fragments would get lost or reordered, then peer could possibly stitch together wrong IP fragments that did not belong to the same datagram. This would lead to a packet loss or data corruption. Signed-off-by: Ansis Atteka Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

pptp: fix byte order warnings

2013-08-13T22:10:22Z

Pptp driver has lots of byte order warnings from sparse. This was because the on-the-wire header is in network byte order (obviously) but the definition did not reflect that. Also, the address structure to user space actually put the call id in host order. Rather than break ABI compatibility, just acknowledge the existing design.

tty: Fix recursive deadlock in tty_perform_flush()

2013-03-18T23:52:24Z

tty_perform_flush() can deadlock when called while holding a line discipline reference. By definition, all ldisc drivers hold a ldisc reference, so calls originating from ldisc drivers must not block for a ldisc reference. The deadlock can occur when: CPU 0 | CPU 1 | tty_ldisc_ref(tty) | .... | tty_ldisc_ref_wait(tty) | | CPU 0 cannot progess because it cannot obtain an ldisc reference with the line discipline has been halted (thus no new references are granted). CPU 1 cannot progress because an outstanding ldisc reference has not been released. An in-tree call-tree audit of tty_perform_flush() [1] shows 5 ldisc drivers calling tty_perform_flush() indirectly via n_tty_ioctl_helper() and 2 ldisc drivers calling directly. A single tty driver safely uses the function.
