ac30ef832e netlink: Fix handling of error from netlink_dump().
netlink_dump() returns a negative errno value on error.  Until now,
netlink_recvmsg() directly recorded that negative value in sk->sk_err, but
that's wrong since sk_err takes positive errno values.  (This manifests as
userspace receiving a positive return value from the recv() system call,
falsely indicating success.) This bug was introduced in the commit that
started checking the netlink_dump() return value, commit b44d211 (netlink:
handle errors from netlink_dump()).

Multithreaded Netlink dumps are one way to trigger this behavior in
practice, as described in the commit message for the userspace workaround
posted here:
    http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2014-June/042339.html

This commit also fixes the same bug in netlink_poll(), introduced in commit
cd1df525d (netlink: add flow control for memory mapped I/O).

2d7a85f4b0 netlink: Only check file credentials for implicit destinations
It was possible to get a setuid root or setcap executable to write to
it's stdout or stderr (which has been set made a netlink socket) and
inadvertently reconfigure the networking stack.

To prevent this we check that both the creator of the socket and
the currentl applications has permission to reconfigure the network
stack.

Unfortunately this breaks Zebra which always uses sendto/sendmsg
and creates it's socket without any privileges.

To keep Zebra working don't bother checking if the creator of the
socket has privilege when a destination address is specified.  Instead
rely exclusively on the privileges of the sender of the socket.

Note from Andy: This is exactly Eric's code except for some comment
clarifications and formatting fixes.  Neither I nor, I think, anyone
else is thrilled with this approach, but I'm hesitant to wait on a
better fix since 3.15 is almost here.

Note to stable maintainers: This is a mess.  An earlier series of
patches in 3.15 fix a rather serious security issue (CVE-2014-0181),
but they did so in a way that breaks Zebra.  The offending series
includes:

If a given kernel version is missing that series of fixes, it's
probably worth backporting it and this patch.  if that series is
present, then this fix is critical if you care about Zebra.

4f52090052 netlink: have netlink per-protocol bind function return an error code.
Have the netlink per-protocol optional bind function return an int error code
rather than void to signal a failure.

This will enable netlink protocols to perform extra checks including
capabilities and permissions verifications when updating memberships in
multicast groups.

In netlink_bind() and netlink_setsockopt() the call to the per-protocol bind
function was moved above the multicast group update to prevent any access to
the multicast socket groups before checking with the per-protocol bind
function.  This will enable the per-protocol bind function to be used to check
permissions which could be denied before making them available, and to avoid
the messy job of undoing the addition should the per-protocol bind function
fail.

The netfilter subsystem seems to be the only one currently using the
per-protocol bind function.

676d23690f net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.
Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:

	skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
	sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);

But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up.  So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.

Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.

And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument.  And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.

So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.

Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.

9063e21fb0 netlink: autosize skb lengthes
One known problem with netlink is the fact that NLMSG_GOODSIZE is
really small on PAGE_SIZE==4096 architectures, and it is difficult
to know in advance what buffer size is used by the application.

This patch adds an automatic learning of the size.

First netlink message will still be limited to ~4K, but if user used
bigger buffers, then following messages will be able to use up to 16KB.

This speedups dump() operations by a large factor and should be safe
for legacy applications.

604d13c97f netlink: specify netlink packet direction for nlmon
In order to facilitate development for netlink protocol dissector,
fill the unused field skb->pkt_type of the cloned skb with a hint
of the address space of the new owner (receiver) socket in the
notion of "to kernel" resp. "to user".

At the time we invoke __netlink_deliver_tap_skb(), we already have
set the new skb owner via netlink_skb_set_owner_r(), so we can use
that for netlink_is_kernel() probing.

In normal PF_PACKET network traffic, this field denotes if the
packet is destined for us (PACKET_HOST), if it's broadcast
(PACKET_BROADCAST), etc.

As we only have 3 bit reserved, we can use the value (= 6) of
PACKET_FASTROUTE as it's _not used_ anywhere in the whole kernel
and not supported anywhere, and packets of such type were never
exposed to user space, so there are no overlapping users of such
kind. Thus, as wished, that seems the only way to make both
PACKET_* values non-overlapping and therefore device agnostic.

By using those two flags for netlink skbs on nlmon devices, they
can be made available and picked up via sll_pkttype (previously
unused in netlink context) in struct sockaddr_ll. We now have
these two directions:

 - PACKET_USER (= 6)    ->  to user space
 - PACKET_KERNEL (= 7)  ->  to kernel space

Partial `ip a` example strace for sa_family=AF_NETLINK with
detected nl msg direction:

syscall:                     direction:
sendto(3,  ...) = 40         /* to kernel */
recvmsg(3, ...) = 3404       /* to user */
recvmsg(3, ...) = 1120       /* to user */
recvmsg(3, ...) = 20         /* to user */
sendto(3,  ...) = 40         /* to kernel */
recvmsg(3, ...) = 168        /* to user */
recvmsg(3, ...) = 144        /* to user */
recvmsg(3, ...) = 20         /* to user */

f3d3342602 net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic
This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must
set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to return msg_name to the user.

This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the
recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak
uninitialized memory.

Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't
need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the
recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must
cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets
msg_name to NULL.

Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David
Miller.

Changes since RFC:

Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of
verify_iovec.

With this change in place I could remove "
if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0)
	msg->msg_name = NULL
".

This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore
msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL.

Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change
comments to netdev style.

3a36515f72 netlink: fix splat in skb_clone with large messages
Since (c05cdb1 netlink: allow large data transfers from user-space),
netlink splats if it invokes skb_clone on large netlink skbs since:

* skb_shared_info was not correctly initialized.
* skb->destructor is not set in the cloned skb.

This was spotted by trinity:

[  894.990671] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc9000047b001
[  894.991034] IP: [<ffffffff81a212c4>] skb_clone+0x24/0xc0

Fix it by:

1) introducing a new netlink_skb_clone function that is used in nl_fib_input,
   that sets our special skb->destructor in the cloned skb. Moreover, handle
   the release of the large cloned skb head area in the destructor path.

2) not allowing large skbuffs in the netlink broadcast path. I cannot find
   any reasonable use of the large data transfer using netlink in that path,
   moreover this helps to skip extra skb_clone handling.

I found two more netlink clients that are cloning the skbs, but they are
not in the sendmsg path. Therefore, the sole client cloning that I found
seems to be the fib frontend.

The ath9k Kconfig conflict was a change of a Kconfig option name right

Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically
keep everything in both conflict hunks.

The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved.  In 'net' we added a
dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that
Linus reported.  Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted
to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine
whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation.

However, the dump handlers to not use this logic.  Instead they have
to explicitly do the locking.  There were apparent bugs in the
conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the
RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should
be doing so.  So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes.

To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try
to allocate 'tb'.

well until we try to add namespace support for other
subsystems which use netlink.

Don't like ipv4 and route table.., it is not suited to
make these subsytems belong to net namespace, Such as
audit and crypto subsystems,they are more suitable to
user namespace.

So we must have the ability to make the netlink sockets
in same user namespace can communicate with each other.

This patch adds a new function pointer "compare" for
netlink_table, we can decide if the netlink sockets can
communicate with each other through this netlink_table
self-defined compare function.

The behavior isn't changed if we don't provide the compare
function for netlink_table.

c05cdb1b86 netlink: allow large data transfers from user-space
I can hit ENOBUFS in the sendmsg() path with a large batch that is
composed of many netlink messages. Here that limit is 8 MBytes of
skbuff data area as kmalloc does not manage to get more than that.

While discussing atomic rule-set for nftables with Patrick McHardy,
we decided to put all rule-set updates that need to be applied
atomically in one single batch to simplify the existing approach.
However, as explained above, the existing netlink code limits us
to a maximum of ~20000 rules that fit in one single batch without
hitting ENOBUFS. iptables does not have such limitation as it is
using vmalloc.

This patch adds netlink_alloc_large_skb() which is only used in
the netlink_sendmsg() path. It uses alloc_skb if the memory
requested is <= one memory page, that should be the common case
for most subsystems, else vmalloc for higher memory allocations.

5e71d9d77c net: fix sk_buff head without data area
Eric Dumazet spotted that we have to check skb->head instead
of skb->data as skb->head points to the beginning of the
data area of the skbuff. Similarly, we have to initialize the
skb->head pointer, not skb->data in __alloc_skb_head.

After this fix, netlink crashes in the release path of the
sk_buff, so let's fix that as well.

This bug was introduced in (0ebd0ac net: add function to
allocate sk_buff head without data area).

cd1df525da netlink: add flow control for memory mapped I/O
Add flow control for memory mapped RX. Since user-space usually doesn't
invoke recvmsg() when using memory mapped I/O, flow control is performed
in netlink_poll(). Dumps are allowed to continue if at least half of the
ring frames are unused.

f9c2288837 netlink: implement memory mapped recvmsg()
Add support for mmap'ed recvmsg(). To allow the kernel to construct messages
into the mapped area, a dataless skb is allocated and the data pointer is
set to point into the ring frame. This means frames will be delivered to
userspace in order of allocation instead of order of transmission. This
usually doesn't matter since the order is either not determinable by
userspace or message creation/transmission is serialized. The only case
where this can have a visible difference is nfnetlink_queue. Userspace
can't assume mmap'ed messages have ordered IDs anymore and needs to check
this if using batched verdicts.

For non-mapped sockets, nothing changes.

5fd96123ee netlink: implement memory mapped sendmsg()
Add support for mmap'ed sendmsg() to netlink. Since the kernel validates
received messages before processing them, the code makes sure userspace
can't modify the message contents after invoking sendmsg(). To do that
only a single mapping of the TX ring is allowed to exist and the socket
must not be shared. If either of these two conditions does not hold, it
falls back to copying.

cf0a018ac6 netlink: add netlink_skb_set_owner_r()
For mmap'ed I/O a netlink specific skb destructor needs to be invoked
after the final kfree_skb() to clean up state. This doesn't work currently
since the skb's ownership is transfered to the receiving socket using
skb_set_owner_r(), which orphans the skb, thereby invoking the destructor
prematurely.

Since netlink doesn't account skbs to the originating socket, there's no
need to orphan the skb. Add a netlink specific skb_set_owner_r() variant
that does not orphan the skb and use a netlink specific destructor to
call sock_rfree().
