net: use rtnl_register_module where needed

2017-12-04T16:32:39+00:00

all of these can be compiled as a module, so use new _module version to make sure module can no longer be removed while callback/dump is in use. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: make rtnl_register accept a flags parameter

2017-08-09T23:57:38+00:00

This change allows us to later indicate to rtnetlink core that certain doit functions should be called without acquiring rtnl_mutex. This change should have no effect, we simply replace the last (now unused) calcit argument with the new flag. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Reviewed-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.

can: network namespace support for CAN gateway

2017-04-25T07:04:30+00:00

The CAN gateway was not implemented as per-net in the initial network namespace support by Mario Kicherer (8e8cda6d737d). This patch enables the CAN gateway to be used in different namespaces. Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde

net: rtnetlink: plumb extended ack to doit function

2017-04-17T19:35:38+00:00

Add netlink_ext_ack arg to rtnl_doit_func. Pass extack arg to nlmsg_parse for doit functions that call it directly. This is the first step to using extended error reporting in rtnetlink. >From here individual subsystems can be updated to set netlink_ext_ack as needed.

netlink: pass extended ACK struct to parsing functions

2017-04-13T17:58:22+00:00

Pass the new extended ACK reporting struct to all of the generic netlink parsing functions. For now, pass NULL in almost all callers (except for some in the core.) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

can: initial support for network namespaces

2017-04-04T15:35:58+00:00

This patch adds initial support for network namespaces. The changes only enable support in the CAN raw, proc and af_can code. GW and BCM still have their checks that ensure that they are used only from the main namespace. The patch boils down to moving the global structures, i.e. the global filter list and their /proc stats, into a per-namespace structure and passing around the corresponding "struct net" in a lot of different places. Changes since v1: - rebased on current HEAD (2bfe01e) - fixed overlong line Signed-off-by: Mario Kicherer Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde

can: Fix kernel panic at security_sock_rcv_skb

2017-01-29T23:30:56+00:00

Zhang Yanmin reported crashes [1] and provided a patch adding a synchronize_rcu() call in can_rx_unregister() The main problem seems that the sockets themselves are not RCU protected. If CAN uses RCU for delivery, then sockets should be freed only after one RCU grace period. Recent kernels could use sock_set_flag(sk, SOCK_RCU_FREE), but let's ease stable backports with the following fix instead.

ktime: Get rid of the union

2016-12-25T16:21:22+00:00

ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but become completely pointless. Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64. The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra

can: cangw: introduce optional uid to reference created routing jobs

2015-06-09T07:39:49+00:00

Similar to referencing iptables rules by their line number this UID allows to reference created routing jobs, e.g. to alter configured data modifications. The UID is an optional non-zero value which can be provided at routing job creation time. When the UID is set the UID replaces the data modification configuration as job identification attribute e.g. at job removal time. Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde

netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void

2015-01-18T06:03:45+00:00

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb. This makes the very common pattern of if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... } be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do return nlmsg_end(...); and the caller is expected to deal with it. This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very common to write if (my_function(...)) /* error condition */ and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong. Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there. Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did - return nlmsg_end(...); + nlmsg_end(...); + return 0; I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more efficient version. One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time. I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.
