ppp: Fix generating ifname when empty IFLA_IFNAME is specified

2021-08-18T06:59:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2459dcb96bcba94c08d6861f8a050185ff301672 ] IFLA_IFNAME is nul-term string which means that IFLA_IFNAME buffer can be larger than length of string which contains. Function __rtnl_newlink() generates new own ifname if either IFLA_IFNAME was not specified at all or userspace passed empty nul-term string. It is expected that if userspace does not specify ifname for new ppp netdev then kernel generates one in format "ppp" where id matches to the ppp unit id which can be later obtained by PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl. And it works in this way if IFLA_IFNAME is not specified at all. But it does not work when IFLA_IFNAME is specified with empty string. So fix this logic also for empty IFLA_IFNAME in ppp_nl_newlink() function and correctly generates ifname based on ppp unit identifier if userspace did not provided preferred ifname. Without this patch when IFLA_IFNAME was specified with empty string then kernel created a new ppp interface in format "ppp" but id did not match ppp unit id returned by PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl. In this case id was some number generated by __rtnl_newlink() function.

ppp: Fix generating ppp unit id when ifname is not specified

2021-08-15T12:00:26+00:00

commit 3125f26c514826077f2a4490b75e9b1c7a644c42 upstream. When registering new ppp interface via PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl then kernel has to choose interface name as this ioctl API does not support specifying it. Kernel in this case register new interface with name "ppp" where is the ppp unit id, which can be obtained via PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl. This applies also in the case when registering new ppp interface via rtnl without supplying IFLA_IFNAME. PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl allows to specify own ppp unit id which will kernel assign to ppp interface, in case this ppp id is not already used by other ppp interface. In case user does not specify ppp unit id then kernel choose the first free ppp unit id. This applies also for case when creating ppp interface via rtnl method as it does not provide a way for specifying own ppp unit id. If some network interface (does not have to be ppp) has name "ppp" with this first free ppp id then PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl or rtnl call fails. And registering new ppp interface is not possible anymore, until interface which holds conflicting name is renamed. Or when using rtnl method with custom interface name in IFLA_IFNAME. As list of allocated / used ppp unit ids is not possible to retrieve from kernel to userspace, userspace has no idea what happens nor which interface is doing this conflict. So change the algorithm how ppp unit id is generated. And choose the first number which is not neither used as ppp unit id nor in some network interface with pattern "ppp". This issue can be simply reproduced by following pppd call when there is no ppp interface registered and also no interface with name pattern "ppp": pppd ifname ppp1 +ipv6 noip noauth nolock local nodetach pty "pppd +ipv6 noip noauth nolock local nodetach notty" Or by creating the one ppp interface (which gets assigned ppp unit id 0), renaming it to "ppp1" and then trying to create a new ppp interface (which will always fails as next free ppp unit id is 1, but network interface with name "ppp1" exists). This patch fixes above described issue by generating new and new ppp unit id until some non-conflicting id with network interfaces is generated.

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

2021-03-04T10:37:36+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.

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.

use sk_bound_dev_if for route lookup as already done in most of the other ip_route_output_ports() calls.
