License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ppp: fix race in ppp device destruction

2017-10-06T17:16:34+00:00

ppp_release() tries to ensure that netdevices are unregistered before decrementing the unit refcount and running ppp_destroy_interface(). This is all fine as long as the the device is unregistered by ppp_release(): the unregister_netdevice() call, followed by rtnl_unlock(), guarantee that the unregistration process completes before rtnl_unlock() returns. However, the device may be unregistered by other means (like ppp_nl_dellink()). If this happens right before ppp_release() calling rtnl_lock(), then ppp_release() has to wait for the concurrent unregistration code to release the lock. But rtnl_unlock() releases the lock before completing the device unregistration process. This allows ppp_release() to proceed and eventually call ppp_destroy_interface() before the unregistration process completes. Calling free_netdev() on this partially unregistered device will BUG(): ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:8141! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 1 PID: 1557 Comm: pppd Not tainted 4.14.0-rc2+ #4 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.10.2-1.fc26 04/01/2014 Call Trace: ppp_destroy_interface+0xd8/0xe0 [ppp_generic] ppp_disconnect_channel+0xda/0x110 [ppp_generic] ppp_unregister_channel+0x5e/0x110 [ppp_generic] pppox_unbind_sock+0x23/0x30 [pppox] pppoe_connect+0x130/0x440 [pppoe] SYSC_connect+0x98/0x110 ? do_fcntl+0x2c0/0x5d0 SyS_connect+0xe/0x10 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1a/0xa5 RIP: free_netdev+0x107/0x110 RSP: ffffc28a40573d88 ---[ end trace ed294ff0cc40eeff ]--- We could set the ->needs_free_netdev flag on PPP devices and move the ppp_destroy_interface() logic in the ->priv_destructor() callback. But that'd be quite intrusive as we'd first need to unlink from the other channels and units that depend on the device (the ones that used the PPPIOCCONNECT and PPPIOCATTACH ioctls). Instead, we can just let the netdevice hold a reference on its ppp_file. This reference is dropped in ->priv_destructor(), at the very end of the unregistration process, so that neither ppp_release() nor ppp_disconnect_channel() can call ppp_destroy_interface() in the interim.

ppp: fix xmit recursion detection on ppp channels

2017-08-09T04:06:11+00:00

Commit e5dadc65f9e0 ("ppp: Fix false xmit recursion detect with two ppp devices") dropped the xmit_recursion counter incrementation in ppp_channel_push() and relied on ppp_xmit_process() for this task. But __ppp_channel_push() can also send packets directly (using the .start_xmit() channel callback), in which case the xmit_recursion counter isn't incremented anymore. If such packets get routed back to the parent ppp unit, ppp_xmit_process() won't notice the recursion and will call ppp_channel_push() on the same channel, effectively creating the deadlock situation that the xmit_recursion mechanism was supposed to prevent. This patch re-introduces the xmit_recursion counter incrementation in ppp_channel_push(). Since the xmit_recursion variable is now part of the parent ppp unit, incrementation is skipped if the channel doesn't have any. This is fine because only packets routed through the parent unit may enter the channel recursively. Finally, we have to ensure that pch->ppp is not going to be modified while executing ppp_channel_push(). Instead of taking this lock only while calling ppp_xmit_process(), we now have to hold it for the full ppp_channel_push() execution. This respects the ppp locks ordering which requires locking ->upl before ->downl.

ppp: Fix a scheduling-while-atomic bug in del_chan

2017-08-01T04:59:01+00:00

The PPTP set the pptp_sock_destruct as the sock's sk_destruct, it would trigger this bug when __sk_free is invoked in atomic context, because of the call path pptp_sock_destruct->del_chan->synchronize_rcu. Now move the synchronize_rcu to pptp_release from del_chan. This is the only one case which would free the sock and need the synchronize_rcu. The following is the panic I met with kernel 3.3.8, but this issue should exist in current kernel too according to the codes.

ppp: Fix false xmit recursion detect with two ppp devices

2017-07-18T18:20:33+00:00

The global percpu variable ppp_xmit_recursion is used to detect the ppp xmit recursion to avoid the deadlock, which is caused by one CPU tries to lock the xmit lock twice. But it would report false recursion when one CPU wants to send the skb from two different PPP devices, like one L2TP on the PPPoE. It is a normal case actually. Now use one percpu member of struct ppp instead of the gloable variable to detect the xmit recursion of one ppp device.
