genetlink: hold RCU in genlmsg_mcast()

2024-11-01T00:56:00+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

2023-12-13T17:39:12+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].

genetlink: piggy back on resv_op to default to a reject policy

2022-10-25T02:08:46+00:00

To keep backward compatibility we used to leave attribute parsing to the family if no policy is specified. This becomes tedious as we move to more strict validation. Families must define reject all policies if they don't want any attributes accepted. Piggy back on the resv_start_op field as the switchover point. AFAICT only ethtool has added new commands since the resv_start_op was defined, and it has per-op policies so this should be a no-op. Nonetheless the patch should still go into v6.1 for consistency.

genetlink: start to validate reserved header bytes

2022-08-29T11:47:15+00:00

We had historically not checked that genlmsghdr.reserved is 0 on input which prevents us from using those precious bytes in the future. One use case would be to extend the cmd field, which is currently just 8 bits wide and 256 is not a lot of commands for some core families. To make sure that new families do the right thing by default put the onus of opting out of validation on existing families.

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.
