net: Add net_passive_inc() and net_passive_dec().

2025-08-20T16:30:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit e57a6320215c3967f51ab0edeff87db2095440e4 ] net_drop_ns() is NULL when CONFIG_NET_NS is disabled. The next patch introduces a function that increments and decrements net->passive. As a prep, let's rename and export net_free() to net_passive_dec() and add net_passive_inc().

net: add dev_net_rcu() helper

2025-02-21T13:01:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit 482ad2a4ace2740ca0ff1cbc8f3c7f862f3ab507 ] dev->nd_net can change, readers should either use rcu_read_lock() or RTNL. We currently use a generic helper, dev_net() with no debugging support. We probably have many hidden bugs. Add dev_net_rcu() helper for callers using rcu_read_lock() protection.

net: defer final 'struct net' free in netns dismantle

2024-12-19T17:13:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0f6ede9fbc747e2553612271bce108f7517e7a45 ] Ilya reported a slab-use-after-free in dst_destroy [1] Issue is in xfrm6_net_init() and xfrm4_net_init() : They copy xfrm[46]_dst_ops_template into net->xfrm.xfrm[46]_dst_ops. But net structure might be freed before all the dst callbacks are called. So when dst_destroy() calls later : if (dst->ops->destroy) dst->ops->destroy(dst); dst->ops points to the old net->xfrm.xfrm[46]_dst_ops, which has been freed. See a relevant issue fixed in : ac888d58869b ("net: do not delay dst_entries_add() in dst_release()") A fix is to queue the 'struct net' to be freed after one another cleanup_net() round (and existing rcu_barrier()) [1] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in dst_destroy (net/core/dst.c:112) Read of size 8 at addr ffff8882137ccab0 by task swapper/37/0 Dec 03 05:46:18 kernel: CPU: 37 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/37 Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.12.0 #67 Hardware name: Red Hat KVM/RHEL, BIOS 1.16.1-1.el9 04/01/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl (lib/dump_stack.c:124) print_address_description.constprop.0 (mm/kasan/report.c:378) ?

net: Don't register pernet_operations if only one of id or size is specified.

2024-08-03T21:38:44+00:00

We can allocate per-netns memory for struct pernet_operations by specifying id and size. register_pernet_operations() assigns an id to pernet_operations and later ops_init() allocates the specified size of memory as net->gen->ptr[id]. If id is missing, no memory is allocated. If size is not specified, pernet_operations just wastes an entry of net->gen->ptr[] for every netns. net_generic is available only when both id and size are specified, so let's ensure that. While we are at it, we add const to both fields. Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: add exit_batch_rtnl() method

2024-02-08T02:55:10+00:00

Many (struct pernet_operations)->exit_batch() methods have to acquire rtnl. In presence of rtnl mutex pressure, this makes cleanup_net() very slow. This patch adds a new exit_batch_rtnl() method to reduce number of rtnl acquisitions from cleanup_net(). exit_batch_rtnl() handlers are called while rtnl is locked, and devices to be killed can be queued in a list provided as their second argument. A single unregister_netdevice_many() is called right before rtnl is released. exit_batch_rtnl() handlers are called before ->exit() and ->exit_batch() handlers.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain: "Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c arrays and placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help avoid merge conflicts. Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're going to do that we might as well also *save* space while at it and try to remove the extra last sysctl entry added at the end of each array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the kernel by adding a new sentinel with each array moved. Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves of kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new move. The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl is being done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot of this is truly painful code refactoring and testing and then trying to measure the savings of each move and removing the sentinels. Although Joel already has code which does most of this work, experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to be careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to the amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use. To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major housekeeping needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this merge request. The rest of the work to actually remove the sentinels will be done later in future kernel releases. The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each sentinel in the future. That also means there is no more bloating the kernel with the extra ~64 bytes per array moved as no new sentinels are created" * tag 'sysctl-6.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: sysctl: Use ctl_table_size as stopping criteria for list macro sysctl: SIZE_MAX->ARRAY_SIZE in register_net_sysctl vrf: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz networking: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz netfilter: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz ax.25: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz sysctl: Add size to register_net_sysctl function sysctl: Add size arg to __register_sysctl_init sysctl: Add size to register_sysctl sysctl: Add a size arg to __register_sysctl_table sysctl: Add size argument to init_header sysctl: Add ctl_table_size to ctl_table_header sysctl: Use ctl_table_header in list_for_each_table_entry sysctl: Prefer ctl_table_header in proc_sysctl

sysctl: SIZE_MAX->ARRAY_SIZE in register_net_sysctl

2023-08-15T22:26:18+00:00

Replace SIZE_MAX with ARRAY_SIZE in the register_net_sysctl macro. Now that all the callers to register_net_sysctl are actual arrays, we can call ARRAY_SIZE() without any compilation warnings. By calculating the actual array size, this commit is making sure that register_net_sysctl and all its callers forward the table_size into sysctl backend for when the sentinel elements in the ctl_table arrays (last empty markers) are removed. Without it the removal would fail lacking a stopping criteria for traversing the ctl_table arrays. Stopping condition continues to be based on both table size and the procname null test. This is needed in order to allow for the systematic removal al the sentinel element in subsequent commits: Before removing sentinel the stopping criteria will be the last null element. When the sentinel is removed then the (correct) size will take over. Signed-off-by: Joel Granados Suggested-by: Jani Nikula Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain

sysctl: Add size to register_net_sysctl function

2023-08-15T22:26:17+00:00

This commit adds size to the register_net_sysctl indirection function to facilitate the removal of the sentinel elements (last empty markers) from the ctl_table arrays. Though we don't actually remove any sentinels in this commit, register_net_sysctl* now has the capability of forwarding table_size for when that happens. We create a new function register_net_sysctl_sz with an extra size argument. A macro replaces the existing register_net_sysctl. The size in the macro is SIZE_MAX instead of ARRAY_SIZE to avoid compilation errors while we systematically migrate to register_net_sysctl_sz. Will change to ARRAY_SIZE in subsequent commits. Care is taken to add table_size to the stopping criteria in such a way that when we remove the empty sentinel element, it will continue stopping in the last element of the ctl_table array.
