connector/cn_proc: Add filtering to fix some bugs

2023-07-23T10:34:22+00:00

The current proc connector code has the foll. bugs - if there are more than one listeners for the proc connector messages, and one of them deregisters for listening using PROC_CN_MCAST_IGNORE, they will still get all proc connector messages, as long as there is another listener. Another issue is if one client calls PROC_CN_MCAST_LISTEN, and another one calls PROC_CN_MCAST_IGNORE, then both will end up not getting any messages. This patch adds filtering and drops packet if client has sent PROC_CN_MCAST_IGNORE. This data is stored in the client socket's sk_user_data. In addition, we only increment or decrement proc_event_num_listeners once per client. This fixes the above issues. cn_release is the release function added for NETLINK_CONNECTOR. It uses the newly added netlink_release function added to netlink_sock. It will free sk_user_data. Signed-off-by: Anjali Kulkarni Reviewed-by: Liam R. Howlett Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/connector: Add const qualifier to cb_id

2020-12-16T19:06:49+00:00

The connector driver never modifies any cb_id passed to it, so add a const qualifier to those arguments so callers can declare their struct cb_id as a constant object. Fixes build warnings like these when passing a constant struct cb_id: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘cn_add_callback’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target Signed-off-by: Geoff Levand Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/a9e49c9e-67fa-16e7-0a6b-72f6bd30c58a@infradead.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

docs: connector: convert to ReST and rename to connector.rst

2019-07-15T12:20:23+00:00

As it has some function definitions, move them to connector.h. The remaining conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

drivers, connector: convert cn_callback_entry.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-10-22T01:22:39+00:00

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable cn_callback_entry.refcnt is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. Suggested-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: David Windsor Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

connector: allow multiple messages to be sent in one packet

2014-05-27T20:56:21+00:00

This increases the amount of bundling to reduce the number of packets sent. For the one wire use there can be multiple struct w1_netlink_cmd in a struct w1_netlink_msg and multiple of those in struct cn_msg, and with this change multiple of those in a struct nlmsghdr, and at each level the len identifies there being multiple of the next.
