net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic

2014-01-03T04:33:33Z

[ 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.

caif: Add missing braces to multiline if in cfctrl_linkup_request

[ Upstream commit 0c1db731bfcf3a9fd6c58132134f8b0f423552f0 ] The indentation here implies this was meant to be a multi-line if.

caif: Fix missing msg_namelen update in caif_seqpkt_recvmsg()

2013-05-13T14:02:39Z

[ Upstream commit 2d6fbfe733f35c6b355c216644e08e149c61b271 ] The current code does not fill the msg_name member in case it is set. It also does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore makes net/socket.c leak the local, uninitialized sockaddr_storage variable to userland -- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory. Fix that by simply setting msg_namelen to 0 as obviously nobody cared about caif_seqpkt_recvmsg() not filling the msg_name in case it was set.

caif: Fix access to freed pernet memory

2012-08-19T17:15:22Z

[ Upstream commit 96f80d123eff05c3cd4701463786b87952a6c3ac ] unregister_netdevice_notifier() must be called before unregister_pernet_subsys() to avoid accessing already freed pernet memory. This fixes the following oops when doing rmmod: Call Trace: [] caif_device_notify+0x4d/0x5a0 [caif] [] unregister_netdevice_notifier+0xb9/0x100 [] caif_device_exit+0x1c/0x250 [caif] [] sys_delete_module+0x1a4/0x300 [] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x15d/0x1e0 [] ? trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0x3a/0x3 [] system_call_fastpath+0x1a/0x1f RIP [] caif_get+0x51/0xb0 [caif] Signed-off-by: Sjur Brændeland Acked-by: "Eric W.

net caif: Register properly as a pernet subsystem.

2012-02-03T17:22:18Z

[ Upstream commit 8a8ee9aff6c3077dd9c2c7a77478e8ed362b96c6 ] caif is a subsystem and as such it needs to register with register_pernet_subsys instead of register_pernet_device. Among other problems using register_pernet_device was resulting in net_generic being called before the caif_net structure was allocated. Which has been causing net_generic to fail with either BUG_ON's or by return NULL pointers. A more ugly problem that could be caused is packets in flight why the subsystem is shutting down. To remove confusion also remove the cruft cause by inappropriately trying to fix this bug. With the aid of the previous patch I have tested this patch and confirmed that using register_pernet_subsys makes the failure go away as it should. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

caif: fix endian conversion in cffrml_transmit()

2011-11-21T21:46:24Z

The "tmp" variable here is used to store the result of cpu_to_le16() so it should be an __le16 instead of an int. We want the high bits set and the current code works on little endian systems but not on big endian systems. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Acked-by: Sjur Brændeland Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30Z

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence of module.h from everywhere. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

net: Fix files explicitly needing to include module.h

2011-10-31T23:30:28Z

With calls to modular infrastructure, these files really needs the full module.h header. Call it out so some of the cleanups of implicit and unrequired includes elsewhere can be cleaned up. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

caif: Fix BUG() with network namespaces

2011-10-25T23:22:23Z

The caif code will register its own pernet_operations, and then register a netdevice_notifier. Each time the netdevice_notifier is triggered, it'll do some stuff... including a lookup of its own pernet stuff with net_generic(). If the net_generic() call ever returns NULL, the caif code will BUG(). That doesn't seem *so* unreasonable, I suppose — it does seem like it should never happen. However, it *does* happen. When we clone a network namespace, setup_net() runs through all the pernet_operations one at a time. It gets to loopback before it gets to caif. And loopback_net_init() registers a netdevice... while caif hasn't been initialised. So the caif netdevice notifier triggers, and immediately goes BUG(). We could imagine a complex and overengineered solution to this generic class of problems, but this patch takes the simple approach. It just makes caif_device_notify() *not* go looking for its pernet data structures if the device it's being notified about isn't a caif device in the first place.

caif: add error handling for allocation

2011-10-03T17:45:49Z
