netfilter: ipset: Remove unused htable_bits in macro ahash_region

2025-09-11T13:40:55+00:00

Since the ahash_region() macro was redefined to calculate the region index solely from HTABLE_REGION_BITS, the htable_bits parameter became unused. Remove the unused htable_bits argument and its call sites, simplifying the code without changing semantics.

netfilter: ipset: fix region locking in hash types

2025-05-07T21:57:31+00:00

Region locking introduced in v5.6-rc4 contained three macros to handle the region locks: ahash_bucket_start(), ahash_bucket_end() which gave back the start and end hash bucket values belonging to a given region lock and ahash_region() which should give back the region lock belonging to a given hash bucket. The latter was incorrect which can lead to a race condition between the garbage collector and adding new elements when a hash type of set is defined with timeouts.

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12+00:00

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

netfilter: ipset: Fix for recursive locking warning

2024-12-18T23:28:47+00:00

With CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, when creating a set of type bitmap:ip, adding it to a set of type list:set and populating it from iptables SET target triggers a kernel warning: | WARNING: possible recursive locking detected | 6.12.0-rc7-01692-g5e9a28f41134-dirty #594 Not tainted | -------------------------------------------- | ping/4018 is trying to acquire lock: | ffff8881094a6848 (&set->lock){+.-.}-{2:2}, at: ip_set_add+0x28c/0x360 [ip_set] | | but task is already holding lock: | ffff88811034c048 (&set->lock){+.-.}-{2:2}, at: ip_set_add+0x28c/0x360 [ip_set] This is a false alarm: ipset does not allow nested list:set type, so the loop in list_set_kadd() can never encounter the outer set itself. No other set type supports embedded sets, so this is the only case to consider. To avoid the false report, create a distinct lock class for list:set type ipset locks.

netfilter: ipset: Hold module reference while requesting a module

2024-12-04T14:39:22+00:00

User space may unload ip_set.ko while it is itself requesting a set type backend module, leading to a kernel crash. The race condition may be provoked by inserting an mdelay() right after the nfnl_unlock() call.

netfilter: ipset: add missing range check in bitmap_ip_uadt

2024-11-14T12:47:26+00:00

When tb[IPSET_ATTR_IP_TO] is not present but tb[IPSET_ATTR_CIDR] exists, the values of ip and ip_to are slightly swapped. Therefore, the range check for ip should be done later, but this part is missing and it seems that the vulnerability occurs. So we should add missing range checks and remove unnecessary range checks.

netfilter: ipset: Fix suspicious rcu_dereference_protected()

2024-06-19T13:12:56+00:00

When destroying all sets, we are either in pernet exit phase or are executing a "destroy all sets command" from userspace. The latter was taken into account in ip_set_dereference() (nfnetlink mutex is held), but the former was not. The patch adds the required check to rcu_dereference_protected() in ip_set_dereference().

netfilter: ipset: Fix race between namespace cleanup and gc in the list:set type

2024-06-11T16:46:04+00:00

Lion Ackermann reported that there is a race condition between namespace cleanup in ipset and the garbage collection of the list:set type. The namespace cleanup can destroy the list:set type of sets while the gc of the set type is waiting to run in rcu cleanup. The latter uses data from the destroyed set which thus leads use after free. The patch contains the following parts: - When destroying all sets, first remove the garbage collectors, then wait if needed and then destroy the sets. - Fix the badly ordered "wait then remove gc" for the destroy a single set case. - Fix the missing rcu locking in the list:set type in the userspace test case. - Use proper RCU list handlings in the list:set type. The patch depends on c1193d9bbbd3 (netfilter: ipset: Add list flush to cancel_gc).
