tty: convert tty_ldisc_ops 'read()' function to take a kernel pointer

2021-03-04T11:14:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3b830a9c34d5897be07176ce4e6f2d75e2c8cfd7 ] The tty line discipline .read() function was passed the final user pointer destination as an argument, which doesn't match the 'write()' function, and makes it very inconvenient to do a splice method for ttys. This is a conversion to use a kernel buffer instead. NOTE! It does this by passing the tty line discipline ->read() function an additional "cookie" to fill in, and an offset into the cookie data. The line discipline can fill in the cookie data with its own private information, and then the reader will repeat the read until either the cookie is cleared or it runs out of data. The only real user of this is N_HDLC, which can use this to handle big packets, even if the kernel buffer is smaller than the whole packet.

ppp: fix refcount underflow on channel unbridge

2021-01-09T03:21:06+00:00

When setting up a channel bridge, ppp_bridge_channels sets the pch->bridge field before taking the associated reference on the bridge file instance. This opens up a refcount underflow bug if ppp_bridge_channels called via. iotcl runs concurrently with ppp_unbridge_channels executing via. file release. The bug is triggered by ppp_bridge_channels taking the error path through the 'err_unset' label. In this scenario, pch->bridge is set, but the reference on the bridged channel will not be taken because the function errors out. If ppp_unbridge_channels observes pch->bridge before it is unset by the error path, it will erroneously drop the reference on the bridged channel and cause a refcount underflow. To avoid this, ensure that ppp_bridge_channels holds a reference on each channel in advance of setting the bridge pointers.

ppp: add PPPIOCBRIDGECHAN and PPPIOCUNBRIDGECHAN ioctls

2020-12-10T21:57:36+00:00

This new ioctl pair allows two ppp channels to be bridged together: frames arriving in one channel are transmitted in the other channel and vice versa. The practical use for this is primarily to support the L2TP Access Concentrator use-case. The end-user session is presented as a ppp channel (typically PPPoE, although it could be e.g. PPPoA, or even PPP over a serial link) and is switched into a PPPoL2TP session for transmission to the LNS. At the LNS the PPP session is terminated in the ISP's network. When a PPP channel is bridged to another it takes a reference on the other's struct ppp_file. This reference is dropped when the channels are unbridged, which can occur either explicitly on userspace calling the PPPIOCUNBRIDGECHAN ioctl, or implicitly when either channel in the bridge is unregistered. In order to implement the channel bridge, struct channel is extended with a new field, 'bridge', which points to the other struct channel making up the bridge. This pointer is RCU protected to avoid adding another lock to the data path. To guard against concurrent writes to the pointer, the existing struct channel lock 'upl' coverage is extended rather than adding a new lock. The 'upl' lock is used to protect the existing unit pointer. Since the bridge effectively replaces the unit (they're mutually exclusive for a channel) it makes coding easier to use the same lock to cover them both.

mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()

2020-08-07T18:33:22+00:00

As said by Linus: A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use. Otherwise it's actively misleading. In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the caller wants. In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_. The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory objects. Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit. In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure that it won't get optimized away by the compiler. The renaming is done by using the command sequence: git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\ xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/' followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

Furthermore, multicast and broadcast packets make no sense here, so only PACKET_HOST is accepted.

pptp: support sockets bound to an interface

use sk_bound_dev_if for route lookup as already done in most of the other ip_route_output_ports() calls. Since most PPPoA providers use 10.0.0.138 as default gateway IP this will allow connections to multiple PPTP providers with the same IP address over different interfaces.
