Smack: IPv6 casting error fix for 3.11

2013-08-06T10:53:54Z

The original implementation of the Smack IPv6 port based local controls works most of the time using a sockaddr as a temporary variable, but not always as it overflows in some circumstances. The correct data is a sockaddr_in6. A struct sockaddr isn't as large as a struct sockaddr_in6. There would need to be casting one way or the other. This patch gets it the right way.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have trickeled in. Highlights: 1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll(). Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature. Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'") From Eliezer Tamir. 2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from Eric Dumazet. 3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski, Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan. 4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from Pavel Emelyanov. 5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from Rony Efraim. 6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar. 7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet. 8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis, from Cong Wang. 9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular, support receiving on multiple UDP ports. 10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel Borkmann. 11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel devices. From Nicolas Dichtel. 12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all. From Daniel Borkmann. 13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver, from Johannes Berg. 14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue, by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung Cheng. 16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon Horman. 17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri Pirko and Timo Teräs. 18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter Huewe. 19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet. 20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel. 21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet. 22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From Willem de Bruijn. 23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric Dumazet. 24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also from Eric Dumazet. 25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix from Vlad Yasevich. 26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti. 27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time too, from David Majnemer. 28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs. 29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1214 commits) drivers/net: caif: fix wrong rtnl_is_locked() usage drivers/net: enic: release rtnl_lock on error-path vhost-net: fix use-after-free in vhost_net_flush net: mv643xx_eth: do not use port number as platform device id net: sctp: confirm route during forward progress virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing virtio: support unlocked queue poll net/cadence/macb: fix bug/typo in extracting gem_irq_read_clear bit Documentation: Fix references to defunct linux-net@vger.kernel.org net/fs: change busy poll time accounting net: rename low latency sockets functions to busy poll bridge: fix some kernel warning in multicast timer sfc: Fix memory leak when discarding scattered packets sit: fix tunnel update via netlink dt:net:stmmac: Add dt specific phy reset callback support. dt:net:stmmac: Add support to dwmac version 3.610 and 3.710 dt:net:stmmac: Allocate platform data only if its NULL. net:stmmac: fix memleak in the open method ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information are available net: ipv6: fix wrong ping_v6_sendmsg return value ...

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo: "This pull request contains the following changes. - cgroup_subsys_state (css) reference counting has been converted to percpu-ref. css is what each resource controller embeds into its own control structure and perform reference count against. It may be used in hot paths of various subsystems and is similar to module refcnt in that aspect. For example, block-cgroup's css refcnting was showing up a lot in Mikulaus's device-mapper scalability work and this should alleviate it. - cgroup subtree iterator has been updated so that RCU read lock can be released after grabbing reference. This allows simplifying its users which requires blocking which used to build iteration list under RCU read lock and then traverse it outside. This pull request contains simplification of cgroup core and device-cgroup. A separate pull request will update cpuset. - Fixes for various bugs including corner race conditions and RCU usage bugs. - A lot of cleanups and some prepartory work for the planned unified hierarchy support." * 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (48 commits) cgroup: CGRP_ROOT_SUBSYS_BOUND should also be ignored when mounting an existing hierarchy cgroup: CGRP_ROOT_SUBSYS_BOUND should be ignored when comparing mount options cgroup: fix deadlock on cgroup_mutex via drop_parsed_module_refcounts() cgroup: always use RCU accessors for protected accesses cgroup: fix RCU accesses around task->cgroups cgroup: fix RCU accesses to task->cgroups cgroup: grab cgroup_mutex in drop_parsed_module_refcounts() cgroup: fix cgroupfs_root early destruction path cgroup: reserve ID 0 for dummy_root and 1 for unified hierarchy cgroup: implement for_each_[builtin_]subsys() cgroup: move init_css_set initialization inside cgroup_mutex cgroup: s/for_each_subsys()/for_each_root_subsys()/ cgroup: clean up find_css_set() and friends cgroup: remove cgroup->actual_subsys_mask cgroup: prefix global variables with "cgroup_" cgroup: convert CFTYPE_* flags to enums cgroup: rename cont to cgrp cgroup: clean up cgroup_serial_nr_cursor cgroup: convert cgroup_cft_commit() to use cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() cgroup: make serial_nr_cursor available throughout cgroup.c ...

SELinux: Institute file_path_has_perm()

2013-06-29T08:57:14Z

Create a file_path_has_perm() function that is like path_has_perm() but instead takes a file struct that is the source of both the path and the inode (rather than getting the inode from the dentry in the path). This is then used where appropriate. This will be useful for situations like unionmount where it will be possible to have an apparently-negative dentry (eg. a fallthrough) that is open with the file struct pointing to an inode on the lower fs.
