[ Upstream commit 9b663b5cbb15b494ef132a3c937641c90646eb73 ]

netlink_getsockbyportid() reads sk_state while a concurrent
netlink_connect() can change its value.

[ Upstream commit c1bb9484e3b05166880da8574504156ccbd0549e ]

syzbot reminds us netlink_getname() runs locklessly [1]

This first patch annotates the race against nlk-&gt;portid.

Following patches take care of the remaining races.

<title>genetlink: limit the use of validation workarounds to old ops</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ce48ebdd56513fa5ad9dab683a96399e00dbf464</id>
<content type='text'>
During review of previous change another thing came up - we should
limit the use of validation workarounds to old commands.
Don't list the workarounds one by one, as we're rejecting all existing
ones. We can deal with the masking in the unlikely event that new flag
is added.

<title>genetlink: piggy back on resv_op to default to a reject policy</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4fa86555d1cd338afc6e6308cc1ff890a014ec8c</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<content type='text'>
Commit 9c5d03d36251 ("genetlink: start to validate reserved header bytes")
introduced extra validation for genetlink headers. We had to gate it
to only apply to new commands, to maintain bug-wards compatibility.
Use this opportunity (before the new checks make it to Linus's tree)
to add more conditions.

Validate that Generic Netlink families do not use nlmsg_flags outside
of the well-understood set.

switch from __nlmsg_put to nlmsg_put(), and explain the bounds check
for dealing with the memcpy() across a composite flexible array struct.
Avoids this future run-time warning:

<title>netlink: add support for ext_ack missing attributes</title>

<content type='text'>
There is currently no way to report via extack in a structured way
that an attribute is missing. This leads to families resorting to
string messages.

Add a pair of attributes - @offset and @type for machine-readable
way of reporting missing attributes. The @offset points to the
nest which should have contained the attribute, @type is the
expected nla_type. The offset will be skipped if the attribute
is missing at the message level rather than inside a nest.

User space should be able to figure out which attribute enum
(AKA attribute space AKA attribute set) the nest pointed to by
@offset is using.

The ext_ack writing code looks very "organically grown".
Move the calculation of the size and writing out to helpers.
This is more idiomatic and gives us the ability to return early
avoiding the long (and randomly ordered) "if" conditions.

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.
