[ Upstream commit 1f461dcdd296eecedaffffc6bae2bfa90bd7eb89 ]

Let channels hold a reference on their network namespace.
Some channel types, like ppp_async and ppp_synctty, can have their
userspace controller running in a different namespace. Therefore they
can't rely on them to preclude their netns from being removed from
under them.

[ Upstream commit e8e56ffd9d2973398b60ece1f1bebb8d67b4d032 ]

Locking ppp_mutex must be done before dereferencing file-&gt;private_data,
otherwise it could be modified before ppp_unattached_ioctl() takes the
lock. This could lead ppp_unattached_ioctl() to override -&gt;private_data,
thus leaking reference to the ppp_file previously pointed to.

v2: lock all ppp_ioctl() instead of just checking private_data in
    ppp_unattached_ioctl(), to avoid ambiguous behaviour.

Currently slhc_init() treats out-of-range values of rslots and tslots
as equivalent to 0, except that if tslots is too large it will
dereference a null pointer (CVE-2015-7799).

Add a range-check at the top of the function and make it return an
ERR_PTR() on error instead of NULL.  Change the callers accordingly.

Compile-tested only.

ppp_dev_uninit() locks all_ppp_mutex while under rtnl mutex protection.
ppp_create_interface() must then lock these mutexes in that same order
to avoid possible deadlock.

Let packets move from one netns to the other at PPP encapsulation and
decapsulation time.

PPP units and channels remain in the netns in which they were
originally created. Only the net_device may move to a different
namespace. Cross netns handling is thus transparent to lower PPP
layers (PPPoE, L2TP, etc.).

PPP devices are automatically unregistered when their netns gets
removed. So read() and poll() on the unit file descriptor will
respectively receive EOF and POLLHUP. Channels aren't affected.

PPP devices may get automatically unregistered when their network
namespace is getting removed. This happens if the ppp control plane
daemon (e.g. pppd) exits while it is the last user of this namespace.

This leads to several races:

  * ppp_exit_net() may destroy the per namespace idr (pn-&gt;units_idr)
    before all file descriptors were released. Successive ppp_release()
    calls may then cleanup PPP devices with ppp_shutdown_interface() and
    try to use the already destroyed idr.

  * Automatic device unregistration may also happen before the
    ppp_release() call for that device gets executed. Once called on
    the file owning the device, ppp_release() will then clean it up and
    try to unregister it a second time.

To fix these issues, operations defined in ppp_shutdown_interface() are
moved to the PPP device's ndo_uninit() callback. This allows PPP
devices to be properly cleaned up by unregister_netdev() and friends.
So checking for ppp-&gt;owner is now an accurate test to decide if a PPP
device should be unregistered.

Setting ppp-&gt;owner is done in ppp_create_interface(), before device
registration, in order to avoid unprotected modification of this field.

Finally, ppp_exit_net() now starts by unregistering all remaining PPP
devices to ensure that none will get unregistered after the call to
idr_destroy().

Call checksum_complete_unset in PPP receive to discard checksum-complete
value. PPP does not pull checksum for headers and also modifies packet
as in VJ compression.

<title>net: ppp: Don't call bpf_prog_create() in ppp_lock</title>

<content type='text'>
In ppp_ioctl(), bpf_prog_create() is called inside ppp_lock, which
eventually calls vmalloc() and hits BUG_ON() in vmalloc.c.  This patch
works around the problem by moving the allocation outside the lock.

The bug was revealed by the recent change in net/core/filter.c, as it
allocates via vmalloc() instead of kmalloc() now.
