2013-05-01af_unix: If we don't care about credentials coallesce all messagesEric W. Biederman
[ Upstream commit 0e82e7f6dfeec1013339612f74abc2cdd29d43d2 ] It was reported that the following LSB test case failed https://lsbbugs.linuxfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=2144 because we were not coallescing unix stream messages when the application was expecting us to. The problem was that the first send was before the socket was accepted and thus sock->sk_socket was NULL in maybe_add_creds, and the second send after the socket was accepted had a non-NULL value for sk->socket and thus we could tell the credentials were not needed so we did not bother. The unnecessary credentials on the first message cause unix_stream_recvmsg to start verifying that all messages had the same credentials before coallescing and then the coallescing failed because the second message had no credentials. Ignoring credentials when we don't care in unix_stream_recvmsg fixes a long standing pessimization which would fail to coallesce messages when reading from a unix stream socket if the senders were different even if we did not care about their credentials. I have tested this and verified that the in the LSB test case mentioned above that the messages do coallesce now, while the were failing to coallesce without this change.

2013-04-05unix: fix a race condition in unix_release()Paul Moore
[ Upstream commit ded34e0fe8fe8c2d595bfa30626654e4b87621e0 ] As reported by Jan, and others over the past few years, there is a race condition caused by unix_release setting the sock->sk pointer to NULL before properly marking the socket as dead/orphaned. This can cause a problem with the LSM hook security_unix_may_send() if there is another socket attempting to write to this partially released socket in between when sock->sk is set to NULL and it is marked as dead/orphaned. This patch fixes this by only setting sock->sk to NULL after the socket has been marked as dead; I also take the opportunity to make unix_release_sock() a void function as it only ever returned 0/success. Dave, I think this one should go on the -stable pile. Special thanks to Jan for coming up with a reproducer for this problem.

2012-10-02af_netlink: force credentials passing [CVE-2012-3520]Eric Dumazet
[ Upstream commit e0e3cea46d31d23dc40df0a49a7a2c04fe8edfea ] Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that avahi and potentially NetworkManager accept spoofed Netlink messages because of a kernel bug. The kernel passes all-zero SCM_CREDENTIALS ancillary data to the receiver if the sender did not provide such data, instead of not including any such data at all or including the correct data from the peer (as it is the case with AF_UNIX). This bug was introduced in commit 16e572626961 (af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default) This patch forces passing credentials for netlink, as before the regression. Another fix would be to not add SCM_CREDENTIALS in netlink messages if not provided by the sender, but it might break some programs.

2012-03-23poll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functionsHans Verkuil
In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for. An example is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen in the video4linux subsystem among others. Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't provide that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it has a key field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL poll_table pointer. Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead of using the requested events mask. This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual events that should be polled for as set by the caller. The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table pointer itself. That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new poll_requested_events inline. The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events). Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually wait. If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the select() call without waiting. This might be useful information in order to avoid doing expensive work. A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use to detect this situation. This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h. This was the only place in the kernel that needed this information. Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions instead. In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them directly. This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used the key field to get the requested events. It's been replaced by a call to poll_requested_events(). For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past. Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile. Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll() function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument. This pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in the select()'s fdset matched the requested events. There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument: 1) obtain the key field: events = wait ? wait->key : ~0; This will still work although it should be replaced with the new poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same). This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL unnecessarily. 2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW. 3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL. However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though. There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens (sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch. Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait() actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.

2012-02-22af_unix: MSG_TRUNC support for dgram socketsEric Dumazet
Piergiorgio Beruto expressed the need to fetch size of first datagram in queue for AF_UNIX sockets and suggested a patch against SIOCINQ ioctl. I suggested instead to implement MSG_TRUNC support as a recv() input flag, as already done for RAW, UDP & NETLINK sockets. len = recv(fd, &byte, 1, MSG_PEEK | MSG_TRUNC); MSG_TRUNC asks recv() to return the real length of the packet, even when is was longer than the passed buffer. There is risk that a userland application used MSG_TRUNC by accident (since it had no effect on af_unix sockets) and this might break after this patch.

The same here -- we can protect the sk_peek_off manipulations with the unix_sk->readlock mutex. The peeking of data from a stream socket is done in the datagram style, i.e. even if there's enough room for more data in the user buffer, only the head skb's data is copied in there. This feature is preserved when peeking data from a given offset -- the data is read till the nearest skb's boundary.

2012-01-30af_unix: fix EPOLLET regression for stream socketsEric Dumazet
Commit 0884d7aa24 (AF_UNIX: Fix poll blocking problem when reading from a stream socket) added a regression for epoll() in Edge Triggered mode (EPOLLET) Appropriate fix is to use skb_peek()/skb_unlink() instead of skb_dequeue(), and only call skb_unlink() when skb is fully consumed. This remove the need to requeue a partial skb into sk_receive_queue head and the extra sk->sk_data_ready() calls that added the regression. This is safe because once skb is given to sk_receive_queue, it is not modified by a writer, and readers are serialized by u->readlock mutex. This also reduce number of spinlock acquisition for small reads or MSG_PEEK users so should improve overall performance.

2011-08-24Scm: Remove unnecessary pid & credential references in Unix socket's send ↵Tim Chen
and receive path Patch series 109f6e39..7361c36c back in 2.6.36 added functionality to allow credentials to work across pid namespaces for packets sent via UNIX sockets. However, the atomic reference counts on pid and credentials caused plenty of cache bouncing when there are numerous threads of the same pid sharing a UNIX socket. This patch mitigates the problem by eliminating extraneous reference counts on pid and credentials on both send and receive path of UNIX sockets. I found a 2x improvement in hackbench's threaded case. On the receive path in unix_dgram_recvmsg, currently there is an increment of reference count on pid and credentials in scm_set_cred. Then there are two decrement of the reference counts. Once in scm_recv and once when skb_free_datagram call skb->destructor function unix_destruct_scm. One pair of increment and decrement of ref count on pid and credentials can be eliminated from the receive path. Until we destroy the skb, we already set a reference when we created the skb on the send side. On the send path, there are two increments of ref count on pid and credentials, once in scm_send and once in unix_scm_to_skb. Then there is a decrement of the reference counts in scm_destroy's call to scm_destroy_cred at the end of unix_dgram_sendmsg functions. One pair of increment and decrement of the reference counts can be removed so we only need to increment the ref counts once. By incorporating these changes, for hackbench running on a 4 socket NHM-EX machine with 40 cores, the execution of hackbench on 50 groups of 20 threads sped up by factor of 2.

2011-05-24net: convert %p usage to %pKDan Rosenberg
The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers, specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl. If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user (intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG (currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's. If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects "(nil)". The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm tree. This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK. Cases of printing pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.

In the buggy seqpacket case we were allowing unconnected sockets to call recvmsg and try to receive the pseudo packet. That is always wrong and as of commit 7361c36c5 the pseudo packet had become enough different from a normal packet that the kernel started oopsing. Do for seqpacket_recv what was done for seqpacket_send in 2.5 and only allow it on connected seqpacket sockets. Cc: stable@kernel.org Tested-by: Dan Aloni <dan@aloni.org> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2011-03-07net: fix multithreaded signal handling in unix recv routinesRainer Weikusat
The unix_dgram_recvmsg and unix_stream_recvmsg routines in net/af_unix.c utilize mutex_lock(&u->readlock) calls in order to serialize read operations of multiple threads on a single socket. This implies that, if all n threads of a process block in an AF_UNIX recv call trying to read data from the same socket, one of these threads will be sleeping in state TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and all others in state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. Provided that a particular signal is supposed to be handled by a signal handler defined by the process and that none of this threads is blocking the signal, the complete_signal routine in kernel/signal.c will select the 'first' such thread it happens to encounter when deciding which thread to notify that a signal is supposed to be handled and if this is one of the TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE threads, the signal won't be handled until the one thread not blocking on the u->readlock mutex is woken up because some data to process has arrived (if this ever happens). The included patch fixes this by changing mutex_lock to mutex_lock_interruptible and handling possible error returns in the same way interruptions are handled by the actual receive-code.
