net: unix: allow set_peek_off to fail

2013-12-11T02:45:15+00:00

unix_dgram_recvmsg() will hold the readlock of the socket until recv is complete. In the same time, we may try to setsockopt(SO_PEEK_OFF) which will hang until unix_dgram_recvmsg() will complete (which can take a while) without allowing us to break out of it, triggering a hung task spew. Instead, allow set_peek_off to fail, this way userspace will not hang. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic

2013-11-21T02:52:30+00:00

This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) to return msg_name to the user. This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak uninitialized memory. Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets msg_name to NULL. Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David Miller. Changes since RFC: Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of verify_iovec. With this change in place I could remove " if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0) msg->msg_name = NULL ". This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL. Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change comments to netdev style.

net: make net_get_random_once irq safe

2013-10-25T23:03:39+00:00

I initial build non irq safe version of net_get_random_once because I would liked to have the freedom to defer even the extraction process of get_random_bytes until the nonblocking pool is fully seeded. I don't think this is a good idea anymore and thus this patch makes net_get_random_once irq safe. Now someone using net_get_random_once does not need to care from where it is called. Cc: David S.

net: introduce new macro net_get_random_once

2013-10-19T23:45:35+00:00

net_get_random_once is a new macro which handles the initialization of secret keys. It is possible to call it in the fast path. Only the initialization depends on the spinlock and is rather slow. Otherwise it should get used just before the key is used to delay the entropy extration as late as possible to get better randomness. It returns true if the key got initialized. The usage of static_keys for net_get_random_once is a bit uncommon so it needs some further explanation why this actually works: === In the simple non-HAVE_JUMP_LABEL case we actually have === no constrains to use static_key_(true|false) on keys initialized with STATIC_KEY_INIT_(FALSE|TRUE). So this path just expands in favor of the likely case that the initialization is already done. The key is initialized like this: ___done_key = { .enabled = ATOMIC_INIT(0) } The check if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \ expands into (pseudo code) if (!likely(___done_key > 0)) , so we take the fast path as soon as ___done_key is increased from the helper function. === If HAVE_JUMP_LABELs are available this depends === on patching of jumps into the prepared NOPs, which is done in jump_label_init at boot-up time (from start_kernel). It is forbidden and dangerous to use net_get_random_once in functions which are called before that! At compilation time NOPs are generated at the call sites of net_get_random_once. E.g. net/ipv6/inet6_hashtable.c:inet6_ehashfn (we need to call net_get_random_once two times in inet6_ehashfn, so two NOPs): 71: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 76: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) Both will be patched to the actual jumps to the end of the function to call __net_get_random_once at boot time as explained above. arch_static_branch is optimized and inlined for false as return value and actually also returns false in case the NOP is placed in the instruction stream. So in the fast case we get a "return false". But because we initialize ___done_key with (enabled != (entries & 1)) this call-site will get patched up at boot thus returning true. The final check looks like this: if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \ ___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \ expands to if (!!static_key_false(&___done_key)) \ ___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \ So we get true at boot time and as soon as static_key_slow_inc is called on the key it will invert the logic and return false for the fast path. static_key_slow_inc will change the branch because it got initialized with .enabled == 0. After static_key_slow_inc is called on the key the branch is replaced with a nop again. === Misc: === The helper defers the increment into a workqueue so we don't have problems calling this code from atomic sections. A seperate boolean (___done) guards the case where we enter net_get_random_once again before the increment happend.

net.h/skbuff.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-26T21:53:19+00:00

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

net: rename random32 to prandom

Commit 496f2f93b1cc ("random32: rename random32 to prandom") renamed random32() and srandom32() to prandom_u32() and prandom_seed() respectively. net_random() and net_srandom() need to be redefined with prandom_* in order to finish the naming transition.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2012-10-03T03:25:04+00:00

Pull vfs update from Al Viro: - big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of that is moved to fs/file.c (BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is, we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of struct file we used to have way back). A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives, disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file leak. - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have). - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and switch of fdinfo to seq_file. - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate pile, this was just a mechanical code movement. - a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle, there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)." Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file() interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers" vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of /proc/PID/fd entries" adding a dentry name to the socket) * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (72 commits) MAX_LFS_FILESIZE should be a loff_t compat: fs: Generic compat_sys_sendfile implementation fs: push rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() to filesystems btrfs: reada_extent doesn't need kref for refcount coredump: move core dump functionality into its own file coredump: prevent double-free on an error path in core dumper usb/gadget: fix misannotations fcntl: fix misannotations ceph: don't abuse d_delete() on failure exits hypfs: ->d_parent is never NULL or negative vfs: delete surplus inode NULL check switch simple cases of fget_light to fdget new helpers: fdget()/fdput() switch o2hb_region_dev_write() to fget_light() proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with grabbing files make get_file() return its argument vhost_set_vring(): turn pollstart/pollstop into bool switch prctl_set_mm_exe_file() to fget_light() switch xfs_find_handle() to fget_light() switch xfs_swapext() to fget_light() ...
