genetlink: hold RCU in genlmsg_mcast()

2024-11-01T00:52:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit 56440d7ec28d60f8da3bfa09062b3368ff9b16db ] While running net selftests with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y I saw one lockdep splat [1]. genlmsg_mcast() uses for_each_net_rcu(), and must therefore hold RCU. Instead of letting all callers guard genlmsg_multicast_allns() with a rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pair, do it in genlmsg_mcast(). This also means the @flags parameter is useless, we need to always use GFP_ATOMIC.

drop_monitor: Require 'CAP_SYS_ADMIN' when joining "events" group

2023-12-13T17:36:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit e03781879a0d524ce3126678d50a80484a513c4b ] The "NET_DM" generic netlink family notifies drop locations over the "events" multicast group. This is problematic since by default generic netlink allows non-root users to listen to these notifications. Fix by adding a new field to the generic netlink multicast group structure that when set prevents non-root users or root without the 'CAP_SYS_ADMIN' capability (in the user namespace owning the network namespace) from joining the group. Set this field for the "events" group. Use 'CAP_SYS_ADMIN' rather than 'CAP_NET_ADMIN' because of the nature of the information that is shared over this group. Note that the capability check in this case will always be performed against the initial user namespace since the family is not netns aware and only operates in the initial network namespace. A new field is added to the structure rather than using the "flags" field because the existing field uses uAPI flags and it is inappropriate to add a new uAPI flag for an internal kernel check. In net-next we can rework the "flags" field to use internal flags and fold the new field into it. But for now, in order to reduce the amount of changes, add a new field. Since the information can only be consumed by root, mark the control plane operations that start and stop the tracing as root-only using the 'GENL_ADMIN_PERM' flag. Tested using [1].

Once event support is added this may need to allocate memory while msk lock is held with softirqs disabled. Not using lock_fast also allows to do the allocation with GFP_KERNEL. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: Mat Martineau Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

genetlink: bring back per op policy

2020-10-03T02:11:12+00:00

Add policy to the struct genl_ops structure, this time with maxattr, so it can be used properly. Propagate .policy and .maxattr from the family in genl_get_cmd() if needed, this way the rest of the code does not have to worry if the policy is per op or global.

genetlink: add small version of ops

2020-10-03T02:11:11+00:00

We want to add maxattr and policy back to genl_ops, to enable dumping per command policy to user space. This, however, would cause bloat for all the families with global policies. Introduce smaller version of ops (half the size of genl_ops). Translate these smaller ops into a full blown struct before use in the core. v1: - use struct assignment - put a full copy of the op in struct genl_dumpit_info - s/light/small/ Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

genetlink: reorg struct genl_family

2020-10-03T02:11:11+00:00

There are holes and oversized members in struct genl_family. Before: /* size: 104, cachelines: 2, members: 16 */ After: /* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 16 */ The command field in struct genlmsghdr is a u8, so no point in the operation count being 32 bit. Also operation 0 is usually undefined, so we only need 255 entries. netnsok and parallel_ops are only ever initialized to true. We can grow the fields as needed, compiler should warn us if someone tries to assign larger constants. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
