fa84309533 genetlink: add auto module loading
When testing L2TP support, I discovered that the l2tp module is not autoloaded
as are other netlink interfaces. There is because of lack of hook in genetlink to call
request_module and load the module.

16e5726269 af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default
Since commit 7361c36c52 (af_unix: Allow credentials to work across
user and pid namespaces) af_unix performance dropped a lot.

This is because we now take a reference on pid and cred in each write(),
and release them in read(), usually done from another process,
eventually from another cpu. This triggers false sharing.

This patch includes SCM_CREDENTIALS information in a af_unix message/skb
only if requested by the sender, [man 7 unix for details how to include
ancillary data using sendmsg() system call]

Note: This might break buggy applications that expected SCM_CREDENTIAL
from an unaware write() system call, and receiver not using SO_PASSCRED
socket option.

If SOCK_PASSCRED is set on source or destination socket, we still
include credentials for mere write() syscalls.

670dc2833d netlink: advertise incomplete dumps
Consider the following situation:
 * a dump that would show 8 entries, four in the first
   round, and four in the second
 * between the first and second rounds, 6 entries are
   removed
 * now the second round will not show any entry, and
   even if there is a sequence/generation counter the
   application will not know

To solve this problem, add a new flag NLM_F_DUMP_INTR
to the netlink header that indicates the dump wasn't
consistent, this flag can also be set on the MSG_DONE
message that terminates the dump, and as such above
situation can be detected.

To achieve this, add a sequence counter to the netlink
callback struct. Of course, netlink code still needs
to use this new functionality. The correct way to do
that is to always set cb->seq when a dumpit callback
is invoked and call nl_dump_check_consistent() for
each new message. The core code will also call this
function for the final MSG_DONE message.

To make it usable with generic netlink, a new function
genlmsg_nlhdr() is needed to obtain the netlink header
from the genetlink user header.

c7ac8679be rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump size
The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to
a single page.  This is not enough for additional interface info
available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in
which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately
40 VFs were created per interface.

Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will
calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate
enough data to satisfy the request.

71338aa7d0 net: convert %p usage to %pK
The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
specifically via /proc interfaces.  Exposing these pointers provides an
easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
pointers.  The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.

If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
occurs.  If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
(intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
(currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
 If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
0's regardless of privileges.  Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
"(nil)".

The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm
tree.  This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK.  Cases of printing
pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful
information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is
already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.

b44d211e16 netlink: handle errors from netlink_dump()
netlink_dump() may failed, but nobody handle its error.
It generates output data, when a previous portion has been returned to
user space. This mechanism works when all data isn't go in skb. If we
enter in netlink_recvmsg() and skb is absent in the recv queue, the
netlink_dump() will not been executed. So if netlink_dump() is failed
one time, the new data never appear and the reader will sleep forever.

netlink_dump() is called from two places:

1. from netlink_sendmsg->...->netlink_dump_start().
   In this place we can report error directly and it will be returned
   by sendmsg().

2. from netlink_recvmsg
   There we can't report error directly, because we have a portion of
   valid output data and call netlink_dump() for prepare the next portion.
   If netlink_dump() is failed, the socket will be mark as error and the
   next recvmsg will be failed.

0ab03c2b14 netlink: test for all flags of the NLM_F_DUMP composite
Due to NLM_F_DUMP is composed of two bits, NLM_F_ROOT | NLM_F_MATCH,
when doing "if (x & NLM_F_DUMP)", it tests for _either_ of the bits
being set. Because NLM_F_MATCH's value overlaps with NLM_F_EXCL,
non-dump requests with NLM_F_EXCL set are mistaken as dump requests.

Substitute the condition to test for _all_ bits being set.

5c398dc8f5 netlink: fix netlink_change_ngroups()
commit 6c04bb18dd (netlink: use call_rcu for netlink_change_ngroups)
used a somewhat convoluted and racy way to perform call_rcu().

The old block of memory is freed after a grace period, but the rcu_head
used to track it is located in new block.

This can clash if we call two times or more netlink_change_ngroups(),
and a block is freed before another. call_rcu() called on different cpus
makes no guarantee in order of callbacks.

Fix this using a more standard way of handling this : Each block of
memory contains its own rcu_head, so that no 'use after free' can
happens.

ff4c92d85c genetlink: introduce pre_doit/post_doit hooks
Each family may have some amount of boilerplate
locking code that applies to most, or even all,
commands.

This allows a family to handle such things in
a more generic way, by allowing it to
 a) include private flags in each operation
 b) specify a pre_doit hook that is called,
    before an operation's doit() callback and
    may return an error directly,
 c) specify a post_doit hook that can undo
    locking or similar things done by pre_doit,
    and finally
 d) include two private pointers in each info
    struct passed between all these operations
    including doit(). (It's two because I'll
    need two in nl80211 -- can be extended.)

    net/compat/wext: send different messages to compat tasks

we had a race condition when setting and then
restoring frag_list. Eric attempted to fix it,
but the fix created even worse problems.

However, the original motivation I had when I
added the code that turned out to be racy is
no longer clear to me, since we only copy up
to skb->len to userspace, which doesn't include
the frag_list length. As a result, not doing
any frag_list clearing and restoring avoids
the race condition, while not introducing any
other problems.

Additionally, while preparing this patch I found
that since none of the remaining netlink code is
really aware of the frag_list, we need to use the
original skb's information for packet information
and credentials. This fixes, for example, the
group information received by compat tasks.

Convert a few calls from kfree_skb to consume_skb

Noticed while I was working on dropwatch that I was detecting lots of internal
skb drops in several places.  While some are legitimate, several were not,
freeing skbs that were at the end of their life, rather than being discarded due
to an error.  This patch converts those calls sites from using kfree_skb to
consume_skb, which quiets the in-kernel drop_monitor code from detecting them as
drops.  Tested successfully by myself

When netlink sockets are used to convey data that is in a namespace
we need a way to select a subset of the listening sockets to deliver
the packet to.  For the network namespace we have been doing this
by only transmitting packets in the correct network namespace.

For data belonging to other namespaces netlink_bradcast_filtered
provides a mechanism that allows us to examine the destination
socket and to decide if we should transmit the specified packet
to it.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

1a50307ba1 netlink: fix NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS in netlink_set_err()
Currently, ENOBUFS errors are reported to the socket via
netlink_set_err() even if NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS is set. However,
that should not happen. This fixes this problem and it changes the
prototype of netlink_set_err() to return the number of sockets that
have set the NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS socket option. This return
value is used in the next patch in these bugfix series.

974c37e9d8 netlink: fix for too early rmmod
Netlink code does module autoload if protocol userspace is asking for is
not ready. However, module can dissapear right after it was autoloaded.
Example: modprobe/rmmod stress-testing and xfrm_user.ko providing NETLINK_XFRM.

netlink_create() in such situation _will_ create userspace socket and
_will_not_ pin module. Now if module was removed and we're going to call
->netlink_rcv into nothing:

988ade6b8e genetlink: Optimize and one bug fix in genl_generate_id()
1. GENL_MIN_ID is a valid id -> no need to start at
   GENL_MIN_ID + 1.
2. Avoid going through the ids two times: If we start at
   GENL_MIN_ID+1 (*or bigger*) and all ids are over!, the
   code iterates through the list twice (*or lesser*).
3. Simplify code - no need to start at idx=0 which gets
   reset to GENL_MIN_ID.

Patch on net-next-2.6. Reboot test shows that first id
passed to genl_register_family was 16, next two were
GENL_ID_GENERATE and genl_generate_id returned 17 & 18
(user level testing of same code shows expected values
across entire range of MIN/MAX).

cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of
strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices
disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a
32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is
lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00.

The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller
fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort.

A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the
ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a
32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its
internal information, which is worse than it not getting the
information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a
custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a
severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern
access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this
patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event.

A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink
users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for
64-bit quantities.

In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to
send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send
the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in
skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read
from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only
the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was
suggested by David Miller, my original approach required
always sending two skbs but that had various small problems.

To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and
recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg
parameter.

I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't
think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read()
rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong
(64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do
this, nor would it be a regression.

134e63756d genetlink: make netns aware
This makes generic netlink network namespace aware. No
generic netlink families except for the controller family
are made namespace aware, they need to be checked one by
one and then set the family->netnsok member to true.

A new function genlmsg_multicast_netns() is introduced to
allow sending a multicast message in a given namespace,
for example when it applies to an object that lives in
that namespace, a new function genlmsg_multicast_allns()
to send a message to all network namespaces (for objects
that do not have an associated netns).

The function genlmsg_multicast() is changed to multicast
the message in just init_net, which is currently correct
for all generic netlink families since they only work in
init_net right now. Some will later want to work in all
net namespaces because they do not care about the netns
at all -- those will have to be converted to use one of
the new functions genlmsg_multicast_allns() or
genlmsg_multicast_netns() whenever they are made netns
aware in some way.

After this patch families can easily decide whether or
not they should be available in all net namespaces. Many
genl families us it for objects not related to networking
and should therefore be available in all namespaces, but
that will have to be done on a per family basis.

Note that this doesn't touch on the checkpoint/restart
problem where network namespaces could be used, genl
families and multicast groups are numbered globally and
I see no easy way of changing that, especially since it
must be possible to multicast to all network namespaces
for those families that do not care about netns.

For the network namespace work in generic netlink I need
to be able to call this function under rcu_read_lock(),
otherwise the locking becomes a nightmare and more locks
would be needed. Instead, just embed a struct rcu_head
(actually a struct listeners_rcu_head that also carries
the pointer to the memory block) into the listeners
memory so we can use call_rcu() instead of synchronising
and then freeing. No rcu_barrier() is needed since this

38938bfe34 netlink: add NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flag
This patch adds the NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flag. This flag can
be used by unicast and broadcast listeners to avoid receiving
ENOBUFS errors.

Generally speaking, ENOBUFS errors are useful to notify two things
to the listener:

a) You may increase the receiver buffer size via setsockopt().
b) You have lost messages, you may be out of sync.

In some cases, ignoring ENOBUFS errors can be useful. For example:

a) nfnetlink_queue: this subsystem does not have any sort of resync
method and you can decide to ignore ENOBUFS once you have set a
given buffer size.

b) ctnetlink: you can use this together with the socket flag
NETLINK_BROADCAST_SEND_ERROR to stop getting ENOBUFS errors as
you do not need to resync (packets whose event are not delivered
are drop to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization).

Moreover, the use of NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS also reduces a "go up, go down"
effect in terms of performance which is due to the netlink congestion
control when the listener cannot back off. The effect is the following:

1) throughput rate goes up and netlink messages are inserted in the
receiver buffer.
2) Then, netlink buffer fills and overruns (set on nlk->state bit 0).
3) While the listener empties the receiver buffer, netlink keeps
dropping messages. Thus, throughput goes dramatically down.
4) Then, once the listener has emptied the buffer (nlk->state
bit 0 is set off), goto step 1.

This effect is easy to trigger with netlink broadcast under heavy
load, and it is more noticeable when using a big receiver buffer.
You can find some results in [1] that show this problem.

[1] http://1984.lsi.us.es/linux/netlink/

This patch also includes the use of sk_drop to account the number of
netlink messages drop due to overrun. This value is shown in
/proc/net/netlink.

4843b93c96 netlink: invert error code in netlink_set_err()
The callers of netlink_set_err() currently pass a negative value
as parameter for the error code. However, sk->sk_err wants a
positive error value. Without this patch, skb_recv_datagram() called
by netlink_recvmsg() may return a positive value to report an error.

Another choice to fix this is to change callers to pass a positive
error value, but this seems a bit inconsistent and error prone
to me. Indeed, the callers of netlink_set_err() assumed that the
(usual) negative value for error codes was fine before this patch :).

This patch also includes some documentation in docbook format
for netlink_set_err() to avoid this sort of confusion.

1ce85fe402 netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logic
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:

If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.

This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.

This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

be0c22a46c netlink: add NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option
This patch adds NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR which is a netlink
socket option that the listener can set to make netlink_broadcast()
return errors in the delivery to the caller. This option is useful
if the caller of netlink_broadcast() do something with the result
of the message delivery, like in ctnetlink where it drops a network
packet if the event delivery failed, this is used to enable reliable
logging and state-synchronization. If this socket option is not set,
netlink_broadcast() only reports ESRCH errors and silently ignore
ENOBUFS errors, which is what most netlink_broadcast() callers
should do.

This socket option is based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.

ff491a7334 netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
messages at all were delivered:

1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
   failure, return -ENOBUFS.
3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.

With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
messages to the listeners have failed:

1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
   -ENOBUFS.
2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.

In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
conntrackd) in return.

This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
if they hit ENOBUFS.

BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

netlink_dump_start(),

- dump continuance:
netlink_rcv()         : call netlink_dump
netlink_dump          : take nlk->cb_mutex
ctrl_dumpfamily()     : take genl_mutex

Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this. This slightly
widens an already existing module unload race, the genl ops used during the
dump might go away when the module is unloaded. Thomas Graf is working on a
seperate fix for this.

878628fbf2 [NET] NETNS: Omit namespace comparision without CONFIG_NET_NS.
Introduce an inline net_eq() to compare two namespaces.
Without CONFIG_NET_NS, since no namespace other than &init_net
exists, it is always 1.

We do not need to convert 1) inline vs inline and
2) inline vs &init_net comparisons.
