tcp/dccp: fix possible race __inet_lookup_established()

2020-01-04T13:00:19+00:00

commit 8dbd76e79a16b45b2ccb01d2f2e08dbf64e71e40 upstream. Michal Kubecek and Firo Yang did a very nice analysis of crashes happening in __inet_lookup_established(). Since a TCP socket can go from TCP_ESTABLISH to TCP_LISTEN (via a close()/socket()/listen() cycle) without a RCU grace period, I should not have changed listeners linkage in their hash table. They must use the nulls protocol (Documentation/RCU/rculist_nulls.txt), so that a lookup can detect a socket in a hash list was moved in another one. Since we added code in commit d296ba60d8e2 ("soreuseport: Resolve merge conflict for v4/v6 ordering fix"), we have to add hlist_nulls_add_tail_rcu() helper.

ptp: fix the race between the release of ptp_clock and cdev

Here cdev is embedded in posix_clock which is embedded in ptp_clock. The race happens because ptp_clock's lifetime is controlled by two refcounts: kref and cdev.kobj in posix_clock. This is wrong. Make ptp_clock's sysfs device a parent of cdev with cdev_device_add() created especially for such cases. This way the parent device with its ptp_clock is not released until all references to the cdev are released. This adds a requirement that an initialized but not exposed struct device should be provided to posix_clock_register() by a caller instead of a simple dev_t. This approach was adopted from the commit 72139dfa2464 ("watchdog: Fix the race between the release of watchdog_core_data and cdev"). See details of the implementation in the commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add helper function to register char devs with a struct device").

hrtimer: Annotate lockless access to timer->state

commit 56144737e67329c9aaed15f942d46a6302e2e3d8 upstream. syzbot reported various data-race caused by hrtimer_is_queued() reading timer->state. A READ_ONCE() is required there to silence the warning.

libfdt: define INT32_MAX and UINT32_MAX in libfdt_env.h

2020-01-04T12:59:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit a8de1304b7df30e3a14f2a8b9709bb4ff31a0385 ] The DTC v1.5.1 added references to (U)INT32_MAX. This is no problem for user-space programs since defines (U)INT32_MAX along with (u)int32_t. For the kernel space, libfdt_env.h needs to be adjusted before we pull in the changes. In the kernel, we usually use s/u32 instead of (u)int32_t for the fixed-width types. Accordingly, we already have S/U32_MAX for their max values. So, we should not add (U)INT32_MAX to any more. Instead, add them to the in-kernel libfdt_env.h to compile the latest libfdt. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Rob Herring Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

fs/quota: handle overflows of sysctl fs.quota.* and report as unsigned long

2020-01-04T12:59:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6fcbcec9cfc7b3c6a2c1f1a23ebacedff7073e0a ] Quota statistics counted as 64-bit per-cpu counter. Reading sums per-cpu fractions as signed 64-bit int, filters negative values and then reports lower half as signed 32-bit int. Result may looks like: fs.quota.allocated_dquots = 22327 fs.quota.cache_hits = -489852115 fs.quota.drops = -487288718 fs.quota.free_dquots = 22083 fs.quota.lookups = -486883485 fs.quota.reads = 22327 fs.quota.syncs = 335064 fs.quota.writes = 3088689 Values bigger than 2^31-1 reported as negative. All counters except "allocated_dquots" and "free_dquots" are monotonic, thus they should be reported as is without filtering negative values. Kernel doesn't have generic helper for 64-bit sysctl yet, let's use at least unsigned long.

rfkill: allocate static minor

[ Upstream commit 8670b2b8b029a6650d133486be9d2ace146fd29a ] udev has a feature of creating /dev/ device-nodes if it finds a devnode: modalias. This allows for auto-loading of modules that provide the node. This requires to use a statically allocated minor number for misc character devices. However, rfkill uses dynamic minor numbers and prevents auto-loading of the module. So allocate the next static misc minor number and use it for rfkill.

[ Upstream commit d2ed49cf6c13e379c5819aa5ac20e1f9674ebc89 ] When a PHY is probed, if the top bit is set, we end up requesting a module with the string "mdio:-10101110000000100101000101010001" - the top bit is printed to a signed -1 value. This leads to the module not being loaded. Fix the module format string and the macro generating the values for it to ensure that we only print unsigned types and the top bit is always 0/1. We correctly end up with "mdio:10101110000000100101000101010001".

inet: protect against too small mtu values.

[ Upstream commit 501a90c945103e8627406763dac418f20f3837b2 ] syzbot was once again able to crash a host by setting a very small mtu on loopback device. Let's make inetdev_valid_mtu() available in include/net/ip.h, and use it in ip_setup_cork(), so that we protect both ip_append_page() and __ip_append_data() Also add a READ_ONCE() when the device mtu is read. Pairs this lockless read with one WRITE_ONCE() in __dev_set_mtu(), even if other code paths might write over this field. Add a big comment in include/linux/netdevice.h about dev->mtu needing READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations. Hopefully we will add the missing ones in followup patches.

tcp: fix rejected syncookies due to stale timestamps

2019-12-21T09:47:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 04d26e7b159a396372646a480f4caa166d1b6720 ] If no synflood happens for a long enough period of time, then the synflood timestamp isn't refreshed and jiffies can advance so much that time_after32() can't accurately compare them any more. Therefore, we can end up in a situation where time_after32(now, last_overflow + HZ) returns false, just because these two values are too far apart. In that case, the synflood timestamp isn't updated as it should be, which can trick tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() into rejecting valid syncookies. For example, let's consider the following scenario on a system with HZ=1000: * The synflood timestamp is 0, either because that's the timestamp of the last synflood or, more commonly, because we're working with a freshly created socket. * We receive a new SYN, which triggers synflood protection. Let's say that this happens when jiffies == 2147484649 (that is, 'synflood timestamp' + HZ + 2^31 + 1). * Then tcp_synq_overflow() doesn't update the synflood timestamp, because time_after32(2147484649, 1000) returns false. With: - 2147484649: the value of jiffies, aka. 'now'. - 1000: the value of 'last_overflow' + HZ. * A bit later, we receive the ACK completing the 3WHS. But cookie_v[46]_check() rejects it because tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() says that we're not under synflood. That's because time_after32(2147484649, 120000) returns false. With: - 2147484649: the value of jiffies, aka. 'now'. - 120000: the value of 'last_overflow' + TCP_SYNCOOKIE_VALID. Of course, in reality jiffies would have increased a bit, but this condition will last for the next 119 seconds, which is far enough to accommodate for jiffie's growth. Fix this by updating the overflow timestamp whenever jiffies isn't within the [last_overflow, last_overflow + HZ] range. That shouldn't have any performance impact since the update still happens at most once per second. Now we're guaranteed to have fresh timestamps while under synflood, so tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() can safely use it with time_after32() in such situations. Stale timestamps can still make tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() return the wrong verdict when not under synflood. This will be handled in the next patch. For 64 bits architectures, the problem was introduced with the conversion of ->tw_ts_recent_stamp to 32 bits integer by commit cca9bab1b72c ("tcp: use monotonic timestamps for PAWS"). The problem has always been there on 32 bits architectures.
