ip6_tunnel: copy parms.name after register_netdevice

2011-11-26T17:09:55Z

commit 731abb9cb27aef6013ce60808a04e04a545f3f4e upstream. Commit 1c5cae815d removed an explicit call to dev_alloc_name in ip6_tnl_create because register_netdevice will now create a valid name. This works for the net_device itself. However the tunnel keeps a copy of the name in the parms structure for the ip6_tnl associated with the tunnel. parms.name is set by copying the net_device name in ip6_tnl_dev_init_gen. That function is called from ip6_tnl_dev_init in ip6_tnl_create, but it is done before register_netdevice is called so the name is set to a bogus value in the parms.name structure. This shows up if you do a simple tunnel add, followed by a tunnel show: [root@localhost ~]# ip -6 tunnel add remote fec0::100 local fec0::200 [root@localhost ~]# ip -6 tunnel show ip6tnl0: ipv6/ipv6 remote :: local :: encaplimit 0 hoplimit 0 tclass 0x00 flowlabel 0x00000 (flowinfo 0x00000000) ip6tnl%d: ipv6/ipv6 remote fec0::100 local fec0::200 encaplimit 4 hoplimit 64 tclass 0x00 flowlabel 0x00000 (flowinfo 0x00000000) [root@localhost ~]# Fix this by moving the strcpy out of ip6_tnl_dev_init_gen, and calling it after register_netdevice has successfully returned.

cfg80211: fix bug on regulatory core exit on access to last_request

2011-11-26T17:09:55Z

commit 58ebacc66bd11be2327edcefc79de94bd6f5bb4a upstream. Commit 4d9d88d1 by Scott James Remnant added the .uevent() callback for the regulatory device used during the platform device registration. The change was done to account for queuing up udev change requests through udevadm triggers. The change also meant that upon regulatory core exit we will now send a uevent() but the uevent() callback, reg_device_uevent(), also accessed last_request. Right before commiting device suicide we free'd last_request but never set it to NULL so platform_device_unregister() would lead to bogus kernel paging request. Fix this and also simply supress uevents right before we commit suicide as they are pointless. This fix is required for kernels >= v2.6.39 $ git describe --contains 4d9d88d1 v2.6.39-rc1~468^2~25^2^2~21 The impact of not having this present is that a bogus paging access may occur (only read) upon cfg80211 unload time. You may also get this BUG complaint below. Although Johannes could not reproduce the issue this fix is theoretically correct. mac80211_hwsim: unregister radios mac80211_hwsim: closing netlink BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88001a06b5ab IP: [] reg_device_uevent+0x1a/0x50 [cfg80211] PGD 1836063 PUD 183a063 PMD 1ffcb067 PTE 1a06b160 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC CPU 0 Modules linked in: cfg80211(-) [last unloaded: mac80211] Pid: 2279, comm: rmmod Tainted: G W 3.1.0-wl+ #663 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[] [] reg_device_uevent+0x1a/0x50 [cfg80211] RSP: 0000:ffff88001c5f9d58 EFLAGS: 00010286 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88001d2eda88 RCX: ffff88001c7468fc RDX: ffff88001a06b5a0 RSI: ffff88001c7467b0 RDI: ffff88001c7467b0 RBP: ffff88001c5f9d58 R08: 000000000000ffff R09: 000000000000ffff R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: ffff88001c7467b0 R13: ffff88001d2eda78 R14: ffffffff8164a840 R15: 0000000000000001 FS: 00007f8a91d8a6e0(0000) GS:ffff88001fc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: ffff88001a06b5ab CR3: 000000001c62e000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process rmmod (pid: 2279, threadinfo ffff88001c5f8000, task ffff88000023c780) Stack: ffff88001c5f9d98 ffffffff812ff7e5 ffffffff8176ab3d ffff88001c7468c2 000000000000ffff ffff88001d2eda88 ffff88001c7467b0 ffff880000114820 ffff88001c5f9e38 ffffffff81241dc7 ffff88001c5f9db8 ffffffff81040189 Call Trace: [] dev_uevent+0xc5/0x170 [] kobject_uevent_env+0x1f7/0x490 [] ? sub_preempt_count+0x29/0x60 [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x4a/0x90 [] ? devres_release_all+0x27/0x60 [] kobject_uevent+0xb/0x10 [] device_del+0x157/0x1b0 [] platform_device_del+0x1d/0x90 [] platform_device_unregister+0x16/0x30 [] regulatory_exit+0x5d/0x180 [cfg80211] [] cfg80211_exit+0x2b/0x45 [cfg80211] [] sys_delete_module+0x16c/0x220 [] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x7e/0x120 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: RIP [] reg_device_uevent+0x1a/0x50 [cfg80211] RSP CR2: ffff88001a06b5ab ---[ end trace 147c5099a411e8c0 ]--- Reported-by: Johannes Berg Cc: Scott James Remnant Signed-off-by: Luis R.

nl80211: fix HT capability attribute validation

commit 6c7394197af90f6a332180e33f5d025d3037d883 upstream. Since the NL80211_ATTR_HT_CAPABILITY attribute is used as a struct, it needs a minimum, not maximum length. Enforce that properly.

mac80211: fix NULL dereference in radiotap code

2011-11-26T17:09:54Z

commit f8d1ccf15568268c76f913b45ecdd33134387f1a upstream. When receiving failed PLCP frames is enabled, there won't be a rate pointer when we add the radiotap header and thus the kernel will crash. Fix this by not assuming the rate pointer is always valid. It's still always valid for frames that have good PLCP though, and that is checked & enforced. This was broken by my commit fc88518916793af8ad6a02e05ff254d95c36d875 Author: Johannes Berg Date: Fri Jul 30 13:23:12 2010 +0200 mac80211: don't check rates on PLCP error frames where I removed the check in this case but didn't take into account that the rate info would be used.

mac80211: disable powersave for broken APs

commit 05cb91085760ca378f28fc274fbf77fc4fd9886c upstream. Only AID values 1-2007 are valid, but some APs have been found to send random bogus values, in the reported case an AP that was sending the AID field value 0xffff, an AID of 0x3fff (16383).

mac80211: fix remain_off_channel regression

2011-11-11T17:37:12Z

commit eaa7af2ae582c9a8c51b374c48d5970b748a5ce2 upstream. The offchannel code is currently broken - we should remain_off_channel if the work was started, and the work's channel and channel_type are the same as local->tmp_channel and local->tmp_channel_type. However, if wk->chan_type and local->tmp_channel_type coexist (e.g. have the same channel type), we won't remain_off_channel. This behavior was introduced by commit da2fd1f ("mac80211: Allow work items to use existing channel type.") Tested-by: Ben Greear Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller Signed-off-by: John W.

NFS/sunrpc: don't use a credential with extra groups.

2011-11-11T17:37:07Z

commit dc6f55e9f8dac4b6479be67c5c9128ad37bb491f upstream. The sunrpc layer keeps a cache of recently used credentials and 'unx_match' is used to find the credential which matches the current process. However unx_match allows a match when the cached credential has extra groups at the end of uc_gids list which are not in the process group list. So if a process with a list of (say) 4 group accesses a file and gains access because of the last group in the list, then another process with the same uid and gid, and a gid list being the first tree of the gids of the original process tries to access the file, it will be granted access even though it shouldn't as the wrong rpc credential will be used.
