net: Pass kern from net_proto_family.create to sk_alloc

2015-05-11T14:50:17+00:00

In preparation for changing how struct net is refcounted on kernel sockets pass the knowledge that we are creating a kernel socket from sock_create_kern through to sk_alloc. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Convert LIMIT_NETDEBUG to net_dbg_ratelimited

2014-11-11T19:10:31+00:00

Use the more common dynamic_debug capable net_dbg_ratelimited and remove the LIMIT_NETDEBUG macro. All messages are still ratelimited. Some KERN_ uses are changed to KERN_DEBUG. This may have some negative impact on messages that were emitted at KERN_INFO that are not not enabled at all unless DEBUG is defined or dynamic_debug is enabled. Even so, these messages are now _not_ emitted by default. This also eliminates the use of the net_msg_warn sysctl "/proc/sys/net/core/warnings". For backward compatibility, the sysctl is not removed, but it has no function. The extern declaration of net_msg_warn is removed from sock.h and made static in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c Miscellanea: o Update the sysctl documentation o Remove the embedded uses of pr_fmt o Coalesce format fragments o Realign arguments Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S.

net: cleanup unsigned to unsigned int

Use of "unsigned int" is preferred to bare "unsigned" in net tree. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: reintroduce missing rcu_assign_pointer() calls

2012-01-12T20:26:56+00:00

commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, y). We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet CC: Stephen Hemminger CC: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER

2011-08-02T11:29:23+00:00

When assigning a NULL value to an RCU protected pointer, no barrier is needed. The rcu_assign_pointer, used to handle that but will soon change to not handle the special case. Convert all rcu_assign_pointer of NULL value. //smpl @@ expression P; @@ - rcu_assign_pointer(P, NULL) + RCU_INIT_POINTER(P, NULL) // Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-by: Paul E.

Phonet: return an error when packet TX fails

2011-03-09T19:59:30+00:00

Phonet assumes that packets are never dropped. We try our best to avoid this situation. But lets return ENOBUFS if queueing to the network device fails so that the caller knows things went wrong. Signed-off-by: Rémi Denis-Courmont Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Phonet: fix NULL dereference on TX path with implicit source

2011-03-09T19:59:29+00:00

The previous Phonet patch series introduced per-socket implicit destination (i.e. connect()). In that case, the destination socket address is NULL in the transmit function. However commit a8059512b120362b15424f152b2548fe8b11bd0c ("Phonet: implement per-socket destination/peer address") is incomplete and would trigger a NULL dereference. (Fortunately, the code is not in released kernel, and in fact currently not reachable.) Signed-off-by: Rémi Denis-Courmont Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

phonet: some signedness bugs

2011-01-10T21:33:17+00:00

Dan Rosenberg pointed out that there were some signed comparison bugs in the phonet protocol. http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=129424528425330&w=2 The problem is that we check for array overflows but "protocol" is signed and we don't check for array underflows. If you have already have CAP_SYS_ADMIN then you could use the bugs to get root, or someone could cause an oops by mistake.
