Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissions

2009-09-19T19:50:38+00:00

This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero, random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no other userspace process applies the expected permissions. This also fixes a wrong assignment in pktcdvd and a checkpatch.pl complain. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Fixed up trivial conflicts: - arch/x86/include/asm/socket.h converted to in the x86 tree. The generic header has the same new #define's, so that works out fine. - drivers/net/tun.c fix conflict between 89f56d1e9 ("tun: reuse struct sock fields") that switched over to using 'tun->socket.sk' instead of the redundantly available (and thus removed) 'tun->sk', and 2b980dbd ("lsm: Add hooks to the TUN driver") which added a new 'tun->sk' use.

tun: reuse struct sock fields

2009-09-02T00:40:33+00:00

As tun always has an embeedded struct sock, use sk and sk_receive_queue fields instead of duplicating them in tun_struct. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

lsm: Add hooks to the TUN driver

2009-08-31T22:29:48+00:00

The TUN driver lacks any LSM hooks which makes it difficult for LSM modules, such as SELinux, to enforce access controls on network traffic generated by TUN users; this is particularly problematic for virtualization apps such as QEMU and KVM. This patch adds three new LSM hooks designed to control the creation and attachment of TUN devices, the hooks are: * security_tun_dev_create() Provides access control for the creation of new TUN devices * security_tun_dev_post_create() Provides the ability to create the necessary socket LSM state for newly created TUN devices * security_tun_dev_attach() Provides access control for attaching to existing, persistent TUN devices and the ability to update the TUN device's socket LSM state as necessary Signed-off-by: Paul Moore Acked-by: Eric Paris Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Acked-by: David S.

tun: Extend RTNL lock coverage over whole ioctl

2009-08-10T04:45:35+00:00

As it is, parts of the ioctl runs under the RTNL and parts of it do not. The unlocked section is still protected by the BKL, but there can be subtle races. For example, Eric Biederman and Paul Moore observed that if two threads tried to create two tun devices on the same file descriptor, then unexpected results may occur. As there isn't anything in the ioctl that is expected to sleep indefinitely, we can prevent this from occurring by extending the RTNL lock coverage. This also allows to get rid of the BKL. Finally, I changed tun_get_iff to take a tun device in order to avoid calling tun_put which would dead-lock as it also tries to take the RTNL lock. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
