2018-12-13net: dev: Add extack argument to dev_set_mac_address()Petr Machata1-1/+1
A follow-up patch will add a notifier type NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR, which allows vetoing of MAC address changes. One prominent path to that notification is through dev_set_mac_address(). Therefore give this function an extack argument, so that it can be packed together with the notification. Thus a textual reason for rejection (or a warning) can be communicated back to the user.

2018-12-06net: core: dev: Add extack argument to dev_change_flags()Petr Machata1-1/+1
In order to pass extack together with NETDEV_PRE_UP notifications, it's necessary to route the extack to __dev_open() from diverse (possibly indirect) callers. One prominent API through which the notification is invoked is dev_change_flags(). Therefore extend dev_change_flags() with and extra extack argument and update all users. Most of the calls end up just encoding NULL, but several sites (VLAN, ipvlan, VRF, rtnetlink) do have extack available. Since the function declaration line is changed anyway, name the other function arguments to placate checkpatch.

2018-07-24net: remove redundant input checks in SIOCSIFTXQLEN case of dev_ifsiocTariq Toukan1-6/+1
The cited patch added a call to dev_change_tx_queue_len in SIOCSIFTXQLEN case. This obsoletes the new len comparison check done before the function call. Remove it here. For the desicion of keep/remove the negative value check, we examine the range check in dev_change_tx_queue_len. On 64-bit we will fail with -ERANGE. The 32-bit int ifr_qlen will be sign extended to 64-bits when it is passed into dev_change_tx_queue_len(). And then for negative values this test triggers: if (new_len != (unsigned int)new_len) return -ERANGE; because: if (0xffffffffWHATEVER != 0x00000000WHATEVER) On 32-bit the signed value will be accepted, changing behavior. Therefore, the negative value check is kept.

2018-03-07net: don't unnecessarily load kernel modules in dev_ioctl()Paul Moore1-2/+5
Starting with v4.16-rc1 we've been seeing a higher than usual number of requests for the kernel to load networking modules, even on events which shouldn't trigger a module load (e.g. ioctl(TCGETS)). Stephen Smalley suggested the problem may lie in commit 44c02a2c3dc5 ("dev_ioctl(): move copyin/copyout to callers") which moves changes the network dev_ioctl() function to always call dev_load(), regardless of the requested ioctl. This patch moves the dev_load() calls back into the individual ioctls while preserving the rest of the original patch.

2018-01-24net: separate SIOCGIFCONF handling from dev_ioctl()Al Viro1-22/+7
Only two of dev_ioctl() callers may pass SIOCGIFCONF to it. Separating that codepath from the rest of dev_ioctl() allows both to simplify dev_ioctl() itself (all other cases work with struct ifreq *) *and* seriously simplify the compat side of that beast: all it takes is passing to inet_gifconf() an extra argument - the size of individual records (sizeof(struct ifreq) or sizeof(struct compat_ifreq)). With dev_ifconf() called directly from sock_do_ioctl()/compat_dev_ifconf() that's easy to arrange. As the result, compat side of SIOCGIFCONF doesn't need any allocations, copy_in_user() back and forth, etc. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-07-29net: check dev->addr_len for dev_set_mac_address()WANG Cong1-0/+2
Historically, dev_ifsioc() uses struct sockaddr as mac address definition, this is why dev_set_mac_address() accepts a struct sockaddr pointer as input but now we have various types of mac addresse whose lengths are up to MAX_ADDR_LEN, longer than struct sockaddr, and saved in dev->addr_len. It is too late to fix dev_ifsioc() due to API compatibility, so just reject those larger than sizeof(struct sockaddr), otherwise we would read and use some random bytes from kernel stack. Fortunately, only a few IPv6 tunnel devices have addr_len larger than sizeof(struct sockaddr) and they don't support ndo_set_mac_addr(). But with team driver, in lb mode, they can still be enslaved to a team master and make its mac addr length as the same.

2017-06-14dev_ioctl: copy only the smaller struct iwreq for wextJohannes Berg1-3/+16
Unfortunately, struct iwreq isn't a proper subset of struct ifreq, but is still handled by the same code path. Robert reported that then applications may (randomly) fault if the struct iwreq they pass happens to land within 8 bytes of the end of a mapping (the struct is only 32 bytes, vs. struct ifreq's 40 bytes). To fix this, pull out the code handling wireless extension ioctls and copy only the smaller structure in this case.

2014-09-05dev_ioctl: remove dev_load() CAP_SYS_MODULE messageDaniel Borkmann1-5/+2
Marcel reported to see the following message when autoloading is being triggered when adding nlmon device: Loading kernel module for a network device with CAP_SYS_MODULE (deprecated). Use CAP_NET_ADMIN and alias netdev-nlmon instead. This false-positive happens despite with having correct capabilities set, e.g. through issuing `ip link del dev nlmon` more than once on a valid device with name nlmon, but Marcel has also seen it on creation time when no nlmon module is previously compiled-in or loaded as module and the device name equals a link type name (e.g. nlmon, vxlan, team). Stephen says: The netdev module alias is a hold over from the past. For normal devices, people used to create a alias eth0 to and point it to the type of network device used, that was back in the bad old ISA days before real discovery. Also, the tunnels create module alias for the control device and ip used to use this to autoload the tunnel device. The message is bogus and should just be removed, I also see it in a couple of other cases where tap devices are renamed for other usese. As mentioned in 8909c9ad8ff0 ("net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules"), we nevertheless still might want to leave the old autoloading behaviour in place as it could break old scripts, so for now, lets just remove the log message as Stephen suggests.

2013-06-26net: fix kernel deadlock with interface rename and netdev name retrieval.Nicolas Schichan1-15/+4
When the kernel (compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) is performing the rename of a network interface, it can end up waiting for a workqueue to complete. If userland is able to invoke a SIOCGIFNAME ioctl or a SO_BINDTODEVICE getsockopt in between, the kernel will deadlock due to the fact that read_secklock_begin() will spin forever waiting for the writer process (the one doing the interface rename) to update the devnet_rename_seq sequence. This patch fixes the problem by adding a helper (netdev_get_name()) and using it in the code handling the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl and SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt. The netdev_get_name() helper uses raw_seqcount_begin() to avoid spinning forever, waiting for devnet_rename_seq->sequence to become even. cond_resched() is used in the contended case, before retrying the access to give the writer process a chance to finish. The use of raw_seqcount_begin() will incur some unneeded work in the reader process in the contended case, but this is better than deadlocking the system.
