macvtap: advertise link netns via netlink

2022-03-02T01:59:28+00:00

Assign rtnl_link_ops->get_link_net() callback so that IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is added to rtnetlink messages. This fixes iproute2 which otherwise resolved the link interface to an interface in the wrong namespace. Test commands: ip netns add nst ip link add dummy0 type dummy ip link add link macvtap0 link dummy0 type macvtap ip link set macvtap0 netns nst ip -netns nst link show macvtap0 Before: 10: macvtap0@gre0: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 500 link/ether 5e:8f:ae:1d:60:50 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff After: 10: macvtap0@if2: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 500 link/ether 5e:8f:ae:1d:60:50 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 0 Reported-by: Leonardo Mörlein Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220228003240.1337426-1-sven@narfation.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: macvtap: fix template string argument of device_create() call

2021-10-16T07:51:21+00:00

The last argument of device_create() call should be a template string. The tap_name variable should be the argument to the string, but not the argument of the call itself. We should add the template string and turn tap_name into its argument. Signed-off-by: Jean Sacren Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2017-10-30T12:09:24+00:00

Several conflicts here. NFP driver bug fix adding nfp_netdev_is_nfp_repr() check to nfp_fl_output() needed some adjustments because the code block is in an else block now. Parallel additions to net/pkt_cls.h and net/sch_generic.h A bug fix in __tcp_retransmit_skb() conflicted with some of the rbtree changes in net-next. The tc action RCU callback fixes in 'net' had some overlap with some of the recent tcf_block reworking. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tap: reference to KVA of an unloaded module causes kernel panic

2017-10-28T10:17:21+00:00

The commit 9a393b5d5988 ("tap: tap as an independent module") created a separate tap module that implements tap functionality and exports interfaces that will be used by macvtap and ipvtap modules to create create respective tap devices. However, that patch introduced a regression wherein the modules macvtap and ipvtap can be removed (through modprobe -r) while there are applications using the respective /dev/tapX devices. These applications cause kernel to hold reference to /dev/tapX through 'struct cdev macvtap_cdev' and 'struct cdev ipvtap_dev' defined in macvtap and ipvtap modules respectively. So, when the application is later closed the kernel panics because we are referencing KVA that is present in the unloaded modules. ----------8<------- Example ----------8<---------- $ sudo ip li add name mv0 link enp7s0 type macvtap $ sudo ip li show mv0 |grep mv0| awk -e '{print $1 $2}' 14:mv0@enp7s0: $ cat /dev/tap14 & $ lsmod |egrep -i 'tap|vlan' macvtap 16384 0 macvlan 24576 1 macvtap tap 24576 3 macvtap $ sudo modprobe -r macvtap $ fg cat /dev/tap14 ^C <...system panics...> BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa038c500 IP: cdev_put+0xf/0x30 ----------8<-----------------8<---------- The fix is to set cdev.owner to the module that creates the tap device (either macvtap or ipvtap). With this set, the operations (in fs/char_dev.c) on char device holds and releases the module through cdev_get() and cdev_put() and will not allow the module to unload prematurely.
