The net/core/dev.c conflict was the overlap of one commit marking an
existing function static whilst another was adding a new function.
In the include/linux/if_vlan.h case, the type used for a local
variable was changed in 'net', whereas the function got rewritten
to fix a stacked vlan bug in 'net-next'.
In drivers/vhost/net.c, Al Viro's iov_iter conversions in 'net-next'
overlapped with an endainness fix for VHOST 1.0 in 'net'.
In drivers/net/vxlan.c, vxlan_find_vni() added a 'flags' parameter
in 'net-next' whereas in 'net' there was a bug fix to pass in the
correct network namespace pointer in calls to this function.

As it is, zero msg_iovlen means that the first iovec in the kernel
array of iovecs is left uninitialized, so checking if its ->iov_base
is NULL is random. Since the real users of that thing are doing
sendto(fd, NULL, 0, ...), they are getting msg_iovlen = 1 and
msg_iov[0] = {NULL, 0}, which is what this test is trying to catch.
As suggested by davem, let's just check that msg_iovlen was 1 and
msg_iov[0].iov_base was NULL - _that_ is well-defined and it catches
what we want to catch.

The subscription bitmask passed via struct sockaddr_nl is converted to
the group number when calling the netlink_bind() and netlink_unbind()
callbacks.
The conversion is however incorrect since bitmask (1 << 0) needs to be
mapped to group number 1. Note that you cannot specify the group number 0
(usually known as _NONE) from setsockopt() using NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP
since this is rejected through -EINVAL.
This problem became noticeable since 97840cb ("netfilter: nfnetlink:

(1 << 0) in ctnetlink.

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.
This makes the very common pattern of
if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... }
be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do
return nlmsg_end(...);
and the caller is expected to deal with it.
This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to write
if (my_function(...))
/* error condition */
and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.
Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there.
Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did
- return nlmsg_end(...);
+ nlmsg_end(...);
+ return 0;
I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.
One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

In addition to the problem Jeff Layton reported, I looked at the code
and reproduced the same warning by subscribing and removing the genl
family with a socket still open. This is a fairly tricky race which
originates in the fact that generic netlink allows the family to go
away while sockets are still open - unlike regular netlink which has
a module refcount for every open socket so in general this cannot be
triggered.
Trying to resolve this issue by the obvious locking isn't possible as
it will result in deadlocks between unregistration and group unbind
notification (which incidentally lockdep doesn't find due to the home
grown locking in the netlink table.)
To really resolve this, introduce a "closing socket" reference counter
(for generic netlink only, as it's the only affected family) in the
core netlink code and use that in generic netlink to wait for all the
sockets that are being closed at the same time as a generic netlink
family is removed.
This fixes the race that when a socket is closed, it will should call
the unbind, but if the family is removed at the same time the unbind
will not find it, leading to the warning. The real problem though is
that in this case the unbind could actually find a new family that is
registered to have a multicast group with the same ID, and call its
mcast_unbind() leading to confusing.
Also remove the warning since it would still trigger, but is now no
longer a problem.
This also moves the code in af_netlink.c to before unreferencing the
module to avoid having the same problem in the normal non-genl case.

Jeff Layton reported that he could trigger the multicast unbind warning
in generic netlink using trinity. I originally thought it was a race
condition between unregistering the generic netlink family and closing
the socket, but there's a far simpler explanation: genetlink currently
allows subscribing to groups that don't (yet) exist, and the warning is
triggered when unsubscribing again while the group still doesn't exist.
Originally, I had a warning in the subscribe case and accepted it out of
userspace API concerns, but the warning was of course wrong and removed
later.
However, I now think that allowing userspace to subscribe to groups that
don't exist is wrong and could possibly become a security problem:
Consider a (new) genetlink family implementing a permission check in
the mcast_bind() function similar to the like the audit code does today;
it would be possible to bypass the permission check by guessing the ID
and subscribing to the group it exists. This is only possible in case a
family like that would be dynamically loaded, but it doesn't seem like a
huge stretch, for example wireless may be loaded when you plug in a USB
device.
To avoid this reject such subscription attempts.
If this ends up causing userspace issues we may need to add a workaround
in af_netlink to deny such requests but not return an error.

Introduces an array of spinlocks to protect bucket mutations. The number
of spinlocks per CPU is configurable and selected based on the hash of
the bucket. This allows for parallel insertions and removals of entries
which do not share a lock.
The patch also defers expansion and shrinking to a worker queue which
allows insertion and removal from atomic context. Insertions and
deletions may occur in parallel to it and are only held up briefly
while the particular bucket is linked or unzipped.
Mutations of the bucket table pointer is protected by a new mutex, read
access is RCU protected.
In the event of an expansion or shrinking, the new bucket table allocated
is exposed as a so called future table as soon as the resize process
starts. Lookups, deletions, and insertions will briefly use both tables.
The future table becomes the main table after an RCU grace period and
initial linking of the old to the new table was performed. Optimization
of the chains to make use of the new number of buckets follows only the
new table is in use.
The side effect of this is that during that RCU grace period, a bucket
traversal using any rht_for_each() variant on the main table will not see
any insertions performed during the RCU grace period which would at that
point land in the future table. The lookup will see them as it searches
both tables if needed.
Having multiple insertions and removals occur in parallel requires nelems
to become an atomic counter.

Netlink families can exist in multiple namespaces, and for the most
part multicast subscriptions are per network namespace. Thus it only
makes sense to have bind/unbind notifications per network namespace.
To achieve this, pass the network namespace of a given client socket
to the bind/unbind functions.
Also do this in generic netlink, and there also make sure that any
bind for multicast groups that only exist in init_net is rejected.
This isn't really a problem if it is accepted since a client in a
different namespace will never receive any notifications from such
a group, but it can confuse the family if not rejected (it's also
possible to silently (without telling the family) accept it, but it
would also have to be ignored on unbind so families that take any
kind of action on bind/unbind won't do unnecessary work for invalid
clients like that.

For netlink, we shouldn't be using arch_fast_hash() as a hashing

Since netlink sockets can be opened by any user, a local attacker

arch_fast_hash(), which trades off performance for security by
using crc32 CPU instructions on x86_64.
While it might have a legimite use case in other places, it should
be avoided in netlink context, though. As rhashtable's API is very

we are safe exactly when refcount is less than 2.

lookup.
The hash table will grow if entries exceeds 75% of table size up to a
total table size of 64K. It will automatically shrink if usage falls
below 30%.
Also splits nl_table_lock into a separate mutex to protect hash table
mutations and allow synchronize_rcu() to sleep while waiting for readers
during expansion and shrinking.

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:
commit aa4cf9452f
Author: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
Date: Wed Apr 23 14:28:03 2014 -0700
net: Add variants of capable for use on netlink messages
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.

the local variable ops and n_ops were just read out from family,
and not changed, hence no need to assign back.
Validation functions should operate on const parameters and not
change anything.
