mainlining shenanigans
a9ba23d48d
At present the ipv6_renew_options_kern() function ends up calling into access_ok() which is problematic if done from inside an interrupt as access_ok() calls WARN_ON_IN_IRQ() on some (all?) architectures (x86-64 is affected). Example warning/backtrace is shown below: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 3144 at lib/usercopy.c:11 _copy_from_user+0x85/0x90 ... Call Trace: <IRQ> ipv6_renew_option+0xb2/0xf0 ipv6_renew_options+0x26a/0x340 ipv6_renew_options_kern+0x2c/0x40 calipso_req_setattr+0x72/0xe0 netlbl_req_setattr+0x126/0x1b0 selinux_netlbl_inet_conn_request+0x80/0x100 selinux_inet_conn_request+0x6d/0xb0 security_inet_conn_request+0x32/0x50 tcp_conn_request+0x35f/0xe00 ? __lock_acquire+0x250/0x16c0 ? selinux_socket_sock_rcv_skb+0x1ae/0x210 ? tcp_rcv_state_process+0x289/0x106b tcp_rcv_state_process+0x289/0x106b ? tcp_v6_do_rcv+0x1a7/0x3c0 tcp_v6_do_rcv+0x1a7/0x3c0 tcp_v6_rcv+0xc82/0xcf0 ip6_input_finish+0x10d/0x690 ip6_input+0x45/0x1e0 ? ip6_rcv_finish+0x1d0/0x1d0 ipv6_rcv+0x32b/0x880 ? ip6_make_skb+0x1e0/0x1e0 __netif_receive_skb_core+0x6f2/0xdf0 ? process_backlog+0x85/0x250 ? process_backlog+0x85/0x250 ? process_backlog+0xec/0x250 process_backlog+0xec/0x250 net_rx_action+0x153/0x480 __do_softirq+0xd9/0x4f7 do_softirq_own_stack+0x2a/0x40 </IRQ> ... While not present in the backtrace, ipv6_renew_option() ends up calling access_ok() via the following chain: access_ok() _copy_from_user() copy_from_user() ipv6_renew_option() The fix presented in this patch is to perform the userspace copy earlier in the call chain such that it is only called when the option data is actually coming from userspace; that place is do_ipv6_setsockopt(). Not only does this solve the problem seen in the backtrace above, it also allows us to simplify the code quite a bit by removing ipv6_renew_options_kern() completely. We also take this opportunity to cleanup ipv6_renew_options()/ipv6_renew_option() a small amount as well. This patch is heavily based on a rough patch by Al Viro. I've taken his original patch, converted a kmemdup() call in do_ipv6_setsockopt() to a memdup_user() call, made better use of the e_inval jump target in the same function, and cleaned up the use ipv6_renew_option() by ipv6_renew_options().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
