2016-03-22AF_VSOCK: Shrink the area influenced by prepare_to_waitClaudio Imbrenda1-73/+85
When a thread is prepared for waiting by calling prepare_to_wait, sleeping is not allowed until either the wait has taken place or finish_wait has been called. The existing code in af_vsock imposed unnecessary no-sleep assumptions to a broad list of backend functions. This patch shrinks the influence of prepare_to_wait to the area where it is strictly needed, therefore relaxing the no-sleep restriction there.

2016-03-22Revert "vsock: Fix blocking ops call in prepare_to_wait"Claudio Imbrenda1-6/+13
This reverts commit 5988818008257ca42010d6b43a3e0e48afec9898 ("vsock: Fix blocking ops call in prepare_to_wait") The commit reverted with this patch caused us to potentially miss wakeups. Since the condition is not checked between the prepare_to_wait and the schedule(), if a wakeup happens after the condition is checked but before the sleep happens, we will miss it. ( A description of the problem can be found here: http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/chp-6-sect-2 ). By reverting the patch, the behaviour is still incorrect (since we shouldn't sleep between the prepare_to_wait and the schedule) but at least it will not miss wakeups. The next patch in the series actually fixes the behaviour. Signed-off-by: Claudio Imbrenda <imbrenda@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2015-11-04VSOCK: call sk->sk_data_ready() on accept()Stefan Hajnoczi1-1/+1
When a listen socket enqueues a connection for userspace to accept(), the sk->sk_data_ready() callback should be invoked. In-kernel socket users rely on this callback to detect when incoming connections are available. Currently the sk->sk_state_change() callback is invoked by vmci_transport.c. This happens to work for userspace applications since sk->sk_state_change = sock_def_wakeup() and sk->sk_data_ready = sock_def_readable() both wake up the accept() waiter. In-kernel socket users, on the other hand, fail to detect incoming connections. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The SS_LISTEN socket state is defined by both af_vsock.c and vmci_transport.c. This is risky since the value could be changed in one file and the other would be out of sync. Rename from SS_LISTEN to VSOCK_SS_LISTEN since the constant is not part of enum socket_state (SS_CONNECTED, ...). This way it is clear that the constant is vsock-specific. The big text reflow in af_vsock.c was necessary to keep to the maximum line length. Text is unchanged except for s/SS_LISTEN/VSOCK_SS_LISTEN/.

2015-10-22VSOCK: sock_put wasn't safe to call in interrupt contextJorgen Hansen2-91/+86
In the vsock vmci_transport driver, sock_put wasn't safe to call in interrupt context, since that may call the vsock destructor which in turn calls several functions that should only be called from process context. This change defers the callling of these functions to a worker thread. All these functions were deallocation of resources related to the transport itself. Furthermore, an unused callback was removed to simplify the cleanup. Multiple customers have been hitting this issue when using VMware tools on vSphere 2015. Also added a version to the vmci transport module (starting from 1.0.2.0-k since up until now it appears that this module was sharing version with vsock that is currently at 1.0.1.0-k).

2014-04-11net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.David S. Miller2-3/+3
Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like: skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb); sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len); But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially to freed up memory. Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is possible that the value isn't accurate. And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and even '1'. So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get fixed as a side effect.

2013-11-20net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logicHannes Frederic Sowa2-4/+0
This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) to return msg_name to the user. This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak uninitialized memory. Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets msg_name to NULL. Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David Miller. Changes since RFC: Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of verify_iovec. With this change in place I could remove " if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0) msg->msg_name = NULL ". This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL. Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change comments to netdev style.

2013-02-10VSOCK: Introduce VM SocketsAndy King12-0/+5862
VM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor. User level applications both in a virtual machine and on the host can use the VM Sockets API, which facilitates fast and efficient communication between guest virtual machines and their host. A socket address family, designed to be compatible with UDP and TCP at the interface level, is provided. Today, VM Sockets is used by various VMware Tools components inside the guest for zero-config, network-less access to VMware host services. In addition to this, VMware's users are using VM Sockets for various applications, where network access of the virtual machine is restricted or non-existent. Examples of this are VMs communicating with device proxies for proprietary hardware running as host applications and automated testing of applications running within virtual machines. The VMware VM Sockets are similar to other socket types, like Berkeley UNIX socket interface. The VM Sockets module supports both connection-oriented stream sockets like TCP, and connectionless datagram sockets like UDP. The VM Sockets protocol family is defined as "AF_VSOCK" and the socket operations split for SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM. For additional information about the use of VM Sockets, please refer to the VM Sockets Programming Guide available at: https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vmci-sdk/ Signed-off-by: George Zhang <georgezhang@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Andy king <acking@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
