dcbnl: fix various netlink info leaks

2013-03-10T09:19:26Z

The dcb netlink interface leaks stack memory in various places: * perm_addr[] buffer is only filled at max with 12 of the 32 bytes but copied completely, * no in-kernel driver fills all fields of an IEEE 802.1Qaz subcommand, so we're leaking up to 58 bytes for ieee_ets structs, up to 136 bytes for ieee_pfc structs, etc., * the same is true for CEE -- no in-kernel driver fills the whole struct, Prevent all of the above stack info leaks by properly initializing the buffers/structures involved.

net: Allow DCBnl to use other namespaces besides init_net

2012-12-10T19:09:01Z

Allow DCB and net namespace to work together. This is useful if you have containers that are bound to 'phys' interfaces that want to also manage their DCB attributes. The net namespace is taken from sock_net(skb->sk) of the netlink skb. CC: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Push capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) into the rtnl methods

2012-11-19T01:32:44Z

- In rtnetlink_rcv_msg convert the capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) check to ns_capable(net->user-ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN). Allowing unprivileged users to make netlink calls to modify their local network namespace. - In the rtnetlink doit methods add capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) so that calls that are not safe for unprivileged users are still protected. Later patches will remove the extra capable calls from methods that are safe for unprivilged users. Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion

2012-09-10T19:30:41Z

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid. I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to userspace to avoid changing the userspace API. I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

net: dcb: fix small regression in __dcbnl_pg_setcfg()

2012-06-21T22:06:00Z

A small regression was introduced in the reply command of dcbnl_pg_setcfg(). User space apps may be expecting the DCB_ATTR_PG_CFG attribute to be returned with the patch below TX or RX variants are returned. commit 7be994138b188387691322921c08e19bddf6d3c5 Author: Thomas Graf Date: Wed Jun 13 02:54:55 2012 +0000 dcbnl: Shorten all command handling functions This patch reverts this behavior and returns DCB_ATTR_PG_CFG Signed-off-by: John Fastabend Acked-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S.
