<title>ppp: remove the PPPIOCDETACH ioctl</title>

<id>urn:sha1:af8d3c7c001ae7df1ed2b2715f058113efc86187</id>
<content type='text'>
The PPPIOCDETACH ioctl effectively tries to "close" the given ppp file
before f_count has reached 0, which is fundamentally a bad idea.  It
does check 'f_count &lt; 2', which excludes concurrent operations on the
file since they would only be possible with a shared fd table, in which
case each fdget() would take a file reference.  However, it fails to
account for the fact that even with 'f_count == 1' the file can still be
linked into epoll instances.  As reported by syzbot, this can trivially
be used to cause a use-after-free.

Yet, the only known user of PPPIOCDETACH is pppd versions older than
ppp-2.4.2, which was released almost 15 years ago (November 2003).
Also, PPPIOCDETACH apparently stopped working reliably at around the
same time, when the f_count check was added to the kernel, e.g. see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2002/12/31/83.  Also, the current 'f_count &lt; 2'
check makes PPPIOCDETACH only work in single-threaded applications; it
always fails if called from a multithreaded application.

All pppd versions released in the last 15 years just close() the file
descriptor instead.

Therefore, instead of hacking around this bug by exporting epoll
internals to modules, and probably missing other related bugs, just
remove the PPPIOCDETACH ioctl and see if anyone actually notices.  Leave
a stub in place that prints a one-time warning and returns EINVAL.

Once dst has been cached in socket via sk_setup_caps(),
it is illegal to call ip_rt_put() (or dst_release()),
since sk_setup_caps() did not change dst refcount.

We can still dereference it since we hold socket lock.

Fun set of conflict resolutions here...

For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel
adds.  Trivially resolved.

In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the
function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in
'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed.

In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the
'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that
added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied
over here.

The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating
the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst
a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code.

The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial,
the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and
here are their notes:

====================

    Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc
    branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started
    being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial
    merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch
    and the for-next branch.  This merge resolves those conflicts and
    provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can
    be based.

    Conflicts:
            drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f9524
            (IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and
            commit b5ca15ad7e61 (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support)
            add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the
            init/de-init functions used by mlx5.  To support the new
            representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch
            needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list
            added by the representors patch needed to be modified to
            match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup
            patch.
    Updates:
            drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h - Update function
            prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function
            names as changed by cleanup patch

            stage list to match new order from cleanup patch

<title>ppp: avoid loop in xmit recursion detection code</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6d066734e9f09cdea4a3b9cb76136db3f29cfb02</id>
<content type='text'>
We already detect situations where a PPP channel sends packets back to
its upper PPP device. While this is enough to avoid deadlocking on xmit
locks, this doesn't prevent packets from looping between the channel
and the unit.

The problem is that ppp_start_xmit() enqueues packets in ppp-&gt;file.xq
before checking for xmit recursion. Therefore, __ppp_xmit_process()
might dequeue a packet from ppp-&gt;file.xq and send it on the channel
which, in turn, loops it back on the unit. Then ppp_start_xmit()
queues the packet back to ppp-&gt;file.xq and __ppp_xmit_process() picks
it up and sends it again through the channel. Therefore, the packet
will loop between __ppp_xmit_process() and ppp_start_xmit() until some
other part of the xmit path drops it.

For L2TP, we rapidly fill the skb's headroom and pppol2tp_xmit() drops
the packet after a few iterations. But PPTP reallocates the headroom
if necessary, letting the loop run and exhaust the machine resources
(as reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199109).

Fix this by letting __ppp_xmit_process() enqueue the skb to
ppp-&gt;file.xq, so that we can check for recursion before adding it to
the queue. Now ppp_xmit_process() can drop the packet when recursion is
detected.

__ppp_channel_push() is a bit special. It calls __ppp_xmit_process()
without having any actual packet to send. This is used by
ppp_output_wakeup() to re-enable transmission on the parent unit (for
implementations like ppp_async.c, where the .start_xmit() function
might not consume the skb, leaving it in ppp-&gt;xmit_pending and
disabling transmission).
Therefore, __ppp_xmit_process() needs to handle the case where skb is
NULL, dequeuing as many packets as possible from ppp-&gt;file.xq.

<title>ppp: prevent unregistered channels from connecting to PPP units</title>

<id>urn:sha1:77f840e3e5f09c6d7d727e85e6e08276dd813d11</id>
<content type='text'>
PPP units don't hold any reference on the channels connected to it.
It is the channel's responsibility to ensure that it disconnects from
its unit before being destroyed.
In practice, this is ensured by ppp_unregister_channel() disconnecting
the channel from the unit before dropping a reference on the channel.

However, it is possible for an unregistered channel to connect to a PPP
unit: register a channel with ppp_register_net_channel(), attach a
/dev/ppp file to it with ioctl(PPPIOCATTCHAN), unregister the channel
with ppp_unregister_channel() and finally connect the /dev/ppp file to
a PPP unit with ioctl(PPPIOCCONNECT).

Once in this situation, the channel is only held by the /dev/ppp file,
which can be released at anytime and free the channel without letting
the parent PPP unit know. Then the ppp structure ends up with dangling
pointers in its -&gt;channels list.

Prevent this scenario by forbidding unregistered channels from
connecting to PPP units. This maintains the code logic by keeping
ppp_unregister_channel() responsible from disconnecting the channel if
necessary and avoids modification on the reference counting mechanism.

This issue seems to predate git history (successfully reproduced on
Linux 2.6.26 and earlier PPP commits are unrelated).

These pernet_operations are similar to bond_net_ops. Exit method
unregisters all net ppp devices, and it looks like another
pernet_operations are not interested in foreign net ppp list.
So, it's possible to mark them async.
