tools: ynl: fix string attribute length to include null terminator

2025-11-13T20:33:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 65f9c4c5888913c2cf5d2fc9454c83f9930d537d ] The ynl_attr_put_str() function was not including the null terminator in the attribute length calculation. This caused kernel to reject CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY requests with EINVAL: "Attribute failed policy validation". For a 4-character family name like "dpll": - Sent: nla_len=8 (4 byte header + 4 byte string without null) - Expected: nla_len=9 (4 byte header + 5 byte string with null) The bug was introduced in commit 15d2540e0d62 ("tools: ynl: check for overflow of constructed messages") when refactoring from stpcpy() to strlen(). The original code correctly included the null terminator: end = stpcpy(ynl_attr_data(attr), str); attr->nla_len = NLA_HDRLEN + NLA_ALIGN(end - (char *)ynl_attr_data(attr)); Since stpcpy() returns a pointer past the null terminator, the length included it. The refactored version using strlen() omitted the +1. The fix also removes NLA_ALIGN() from nla_len calculation, since nla_len should contain actual attribute length, not aligned length. Alignment is only for calculating next attribute position. This makes the code consistent with ynl_attr_put(). CTRL_ATTR_FAMILY_NAME uses NLA_NUL_STRING policy which requires null terminator. Kernel validates with memchr() and rejects if not found.

tools: ynl-gen: validate 0 len strings from kernel

2025-05-29T09:03:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4720f9707c783f642332dee3d56dccaefa850e42 ] Strings from the kernel are guaranteed to be null terminated and ynl_attr_validate() checks for this. But it doesn't check if the string has a len of 0, which would cause problems when trying to access data[len - 1]. Fix this by checking that len is positive.

tools: ynl: c: correct reverse decode of empty attrs

2025-02-08T08:58:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit 964417a5d4a06614ef7fb3ae69bb17c91a2dc016 ] netlink reports which attribute was incorrect by sending back an attribute offset. Offset points to the address of struct nlattr, but to interpret the type we also need the nesting path. Attribute IDs have different meaning in different nests of the same message. Correct the condition for "is the offset within current attribute". ynl_attr_data_len() does not include the attribute header, so the end offset was off by 4 bytes. This means that we'd always skip over flags and empty nests. The devmem tests, for example, issues an invalid request with empty queue nests, resulting in the following error: YNL failed: Kernel error: missing attribute: .queues.ifindex The message is incorrect, "queues" nest does not have an "ifindex" attribute defined. With this fix we decend correctly into the nest: YNL failed: Kernel error: missing attribute: .queues.id Fixes: 86878f14d71a ("tools: ynl: user space helpers") Reviewed-by: Donald Hunter Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250124012130.1121227-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

tools/net/ynl: fix sub-message key lookup for nested attributes

selftests: add ncdevmem, netcat for devmem TCP

2024-09-12T03:44:32+00:00

ncdevmem is a devmem TCP netcat. It works similarly to netcat, but it sends and receives data using the devmem TCP APIs. It uses udmabuf as the dmabuf provider. It is compatible with a regular netcat running on a peer, or a ncdevmem running on a peer. In addition to normal netcat support, ncdevmem has a validation mode, where it sends a specific pattern and validates this pattern on the receiver side to ensure data integrity.
