2016-11-20netlink: smaller nla_attr_minlen tableAlexey Dobriyan1-1/+1
Length of a netlink attribute may be u16 but lengths of basic attributes are much smaller, so small we can save 16 bytes of .rodata and pocket change inside .text. 16-bit is worse on x86-64 than 8-bit because of operand size override prefix. add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-19 (-19) function old new delta validate_nla 418 417 -1 nla_policy_len 66 64 -2 nla_attr_minlen 32 16 -16 Total: Before=154865051, After=154865032, chg -0.00% Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-03-31netlink: pad nla_memcpy dest buffer with zeroesJiri Benc1-0/+2
This is especially important in cases where the kernel allocs a new structure and expects a field to be set from a netlink attribute. If such attribute is shorter than expected, the rest of the field is left containing previous data. When such field is read back by the user space, kernel memory content is leaked.

2015-02-13lib/nlattr.c: remove redundant includeRasmus Villemoes1-1/+0
nlattr.c doesn't seem to rely on anything from netdevice.h. Removing it yields identical objdump -d output for each of {allyes,allno,def}config, and eliminates more than 200 lines from the generated dependency file.

2014-06-02netlink: rate-limit leftover bytes warning and print process nameMichal Schmidt1-2/+2
Any process is able to send netlink messages with leftover bytes. Make the warning rate-limited to prevent too much log spam. The warning is supposed to help find userspace bugs, so print the triggering command name to implicate the buggy program.

2014-04-01netlink: don't compare the nul-termination in nla_strcmpPablo Neira1-2/+8
nla_strcmp compares the string length plus one, so it's implicitly including the nul-termination in the comparison. int nla_strcmp(const struct nlattr *nla, const char *str) { int len = strlen(str) + 1; ... d = memcmp(nla_data(nla), str, len); However, if NLA_STRING is used, userspace can send us a string without the nul-termination. This is a problem since the string comparison will not match as the last byte may be not the nul-termination. Fix this by skipping the comparison of the nul-termination if the attribute data is nul-terminated. Suggested by Thomas Graf.

2012-03-08lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possiblePaul Gortmaker1-1/+1
For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even using those, then just delete the include.

2011-11-05netlink: validate NLA_MSECS lengthJohannes Berg1-0/+1
L2TP for example uses NLA_MSECS like this: policy: [L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT] = { .type = NLA_MSECS, }, code: if (info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]) cfg.reorder_timeout = nla_get_msecs(info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]); As nla_get_msecs() is essentially nla_get_u64() plus the conversion to a HZ-based value, this will not properly reject attributes from userspace that aren't long enough and might overrun the message. Add NLA_MSECS to the attribute minlen array to check the size properly.

2010-11-16netlink: let nlmsg and nla functions take pointer-to-const argsJan Engelhardt1-11/+11
The changed functions do not modify the NL messages and/or attributes at all. They should use const (similar to strchr), so that callers which have a const nlmsg/nlattr around can make use of them without casting. While at it, constify a data array.

2009-03-11nlattr: Fix build error with NET offHerbert Xu1-9/+11
We moved the netlink attribute support from net to lib in order for it to be available for general consumption. However, parts of the code (the bits that we don't need :) really depends on NET because the target object is sk_buff. This patch fixes this by wrapping them in CONFIG_NET. Some EXPORTs have been moved to make this work. Tested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <Geert.Uytterhoeven@sonycom.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-03-04netlink: Move netlink attribute parsing support to libGeert Uytterhoeven1-0/+473
Netlink attribute parsing may be used even if CONFIG_NET is not set. Move it from net/netlink to lib and control its inclusion based on the new config symbol CONFIG_NLATTR, which is selected by CONFIG_NET.
