2013-01-04net: introduce upper device listsJiri Pirko
This lists are supposed to serve for storing pointers to all upper devices. Eventually it will replace dev->master pointer which is used for bonding, bridge, team but it cannot be used for vlan, macvlan where there might be multiple upper present. In case the upper link is replacement for dev->master, it is marked with "master" flag. New upper device list resolves this limitation. Also, the information stored in lists is used for preventing looping setups like "bond->somethingelse->samebond" Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-12-30net: filter: return -EINVAL if BPF_S_ANC* operation is not supportedDaniel Borkmann
Currently, we return -EINVAL for malformed or wrong BPF filters. However, this is not done for BPF_S_ANC* operations, which makes it more difficult to detect if it's actually supported or not by the BPF machine. Therefore, we should also return -EINVAL if K is within the SKF_AD_OFF universe and the ancillary operation did not match. Why exactly is it needed? If tools such as libpcap/tcpdump want to make use of new ancillary operations (like filtering VLAN in kernel space), there is currently no sane way to test if this feature / BPF_S_ANC* op is present or not, since no error is returned. This patch will make life easier for that and allow for a proper usage for user space applications. There was concern, if this patch will break userland. Short answer: Yes and no. Long answer: It will "break" only for code that calls ... { BPF_LD | BPF_(W|H|B) | BPF_ABS, 0, 0, <K> }, ... where <K> is in [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] _and_ <K> is *not* an ancillary. And here comes the BUT: assuming some *old* code will have such an instruction where <K> is between [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] and it doesn't know ancillary operations, then this will give a non-expected / unwanted behavior as well (since we do not return the BPF machine with 0 after a failed load_pointer(), which was the case before introducing ancillary operations, but load sth. into the accumulator instead, and continue with the next instruction, for instance). Thus, user space code would already have been broken by introducing ancillary operations into the BPF machine per se. Code that does such a direct load, e.g. "load word at packet offset 0xffffffff into accumulator" ("ld [0xffffffff]") is quite broken, isn't it? The whole assumption of ancillary operations is that no-one intentionally calls things like "ld [0xffffffff]" and expect this word to be loaded from such a packet offset. Hence, we can also safely make use of this feature testing patch and facilitate application development. Therefore, at least from this patch onwards, we have *for sure* a check whether current or in future implemented BPF_S_ANC* ops are supported in the kernel. Patch was tested on x86_64.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user space interface is now complete. This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces. The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from using cool new kernel features is broken. This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for the pid, user, mount namespaces. This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS, ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission checks are always applied. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same namespaces. Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user namespace root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my tree. Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree. Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

2012-12-15userns: Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for most uses of setns.Eric W. Biederman
Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> found a nasty little bug in the permissions of setns. With unprivileged user namespaces it became possible to create new namespaces without privilege. However the setns calls were relaxed to only require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the user nameapce of the targed namespace. Which made the following nasty sequence possible. pid = clone(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS); if (pid == 0) { /* child */ system("mount --bind /home/me/passwd /etc/passwd"); } else if (pid != 0) { /* parent */ char path[PATH_MAX]; snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/proc/%u/ns/mnt"); fd = open(path, O_RDONLY); setns(fd, 0); system("su -"); } Prevent this possibility by requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the current user namespace when joing all but the user namespace.

2012-12-09net: Add support for hardware-offloaded encapsulationJoseph Gasparakis
This patch adds support in the kernel for offloading in the NIC Tx and Rx checksumming for encapsulated packets (such as VXLAN and IP GRE). For Tx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set the right bits in netdev->hw_enc_features. The protocol driver will have to set the skb->encapsulation bit and populate the inner headers, so the NIC driver will use those inner headers to calculate the csum in hardware. For Rx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set again the skb->encapsulation flag and the skb->ip_csum to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In that case the protocol driver should push the decapsulated packet up to the stack, again with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In ether case, the protocol driver should set the skb->encapsulation flag back to zero. Finally the protocol driver should have NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag set in its features.

unres_qlen_bytes and unres_qlen are int type. But multiple relation(unres_qlen_bytes = unres_qlen * SKB_TRUESIZE(ETH_FRAME_LEN)) will cause type overflow when seting unres_qlen. e.g. $ echo 1027506 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen $ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen 1182657265 $ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen_bytes -2147479756 The gutted value is not that we setting。 But user/administrator don't know this is caused by int type overflow. what's more, it is meaningless and even dangerous that unres_qlen_bytes is set with negative number.

2012-12-04net: dev_change_net_namespace: send a KOBJ_REMOVED/KOBJ_ADDSerge Hallyn
When a new nic is created in namespace ns1, the kernel sends a KOBJ_ADD uevent to ns1. When the nic is moved to ns2, we only send a KOBJ_MOVE to ns2, and nothing to ns1. This patch changes that behavior so that when moving a nic from ns1 to ns2, we send a KOBJ_REMOVED to ns1 and KOBJ_ADD to ns2. (The KOBJ_MOVE is still sent to ns2). The effects of this can be seen when starting and stopping containers in an upstart based host. Lxc will create a pair of veth nics, the kernel sends KOBJ_ADD, and upstart starts network-instance jobs for each. When one nic is moved to the container, because no KOBJ_REMOVED event is received, the network-instance job for that veth never goes away. This was reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1065589 With this patch the networ-instance jobs properly go away. The other oddness solved here is that if a nic is passed into a running upstart-based container, without this patch no network-instance job is started in the container. But when the container creates a new nic itself (ip link add new type veth) then network-interface jobs are created. With this patch, behavior comes in line with a regular host. v2: also send KOBJ_ADD to new netns. There will then be a _MOVE event from the device_rename() call, but that should be innocuous.

The get_tx_queues() member of rtnl_link_ops was replaced by two methods, get_num_tx_queues() and get_num_rx_queues(), which do not get any parameter. This was done in commit d40156aa5ecbd51fed932ed4813df82b56e5ff4d by Jiri Pirko ("rtnl: allow to specify different num for rx and tx queue count").

2012-11-29core: make GRO methods static.Rami Rosen
This patch changes three methods to be static and removes their EXPORT_SYMBOLs in core/dev.c and their external declaration in netdevice.h. The methods, dev_gro_receive(), napi_frags_finish() and napi_skb_finish(), which are in the GRO rx path, are not used outside core/dev.c.

2012-11-26sockopt: Change getsockopt() of SO_BINDTODEVICE to return an interface nameBrian Haley
Instead of having the getsockopt() of SO_BINDTODEVICE return an index, which will then require another call like if_indextoname() to get the actual interface name, have it return the name directly. This also matches the existing man page description on socket(7) which mentions the argument being an interface name. If the value has not been set, zero is returned and optlen will be set to zero to indicate there is no interface name present. Added a seqlock to protect this code path, and dev_ifname(), from someone changing the device name via dev_change_name(). v2: Added seqlock protection while copying device name. v3: Fixed word wrap in patch.

2012-11-22netprio_cgroup: allow nesting and inherit config on cgroup creationTejun Heo
Inherit netprio configuration from ->css_online(), allow nesting and remove .broken_hierarchy marking. This makes netprio_cgroup's behavior match netcls_cgroup's. Note that this patch changes userland-visible behavior. Nesting is allowed and the first level cgroups below the root cgroup behave differently - they inherit priorities from the root cgroup on creation instead of starting with 0. This is unfortunate but not doing so is much crazier. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Tested-and-Acked-by: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@bmw-carit.de> Acked-by: David S.

2012-11-22netprio_cgroup: use cgroup->id instead of cgroup_netprio_state->prioidxTejun Heo
With priomap expansion no longer depending on knowing max id allocated, netprio_cgroup can use cgroup->id insted of cs->prioidx. Drop prioidx alloc/free logic and convert all uses to cgroup->id. * In cgrp_css_alloc(), parent->id test is moved above @cs allocation to simplify error path. * In cgrp_css_free(), @cs assignment is made initialization.

2012-11-22netprio_cgroup: reimplement priomap expansionTejun Heo
netprio kept track of the highest prioidx allocated and resized priomaps accordingly when necessary. This makes it necessary to keep track of prioidx allocation and may end up resizing on every new prioidx. Update extend_netdev_table() such that it takes @target_idx which the priomap should be able to accomodate. If the priomap is large enough, nothing happens; otherwise, the size is doubled until @target_idx can be accomodated. This makes max_prioidx and write_update_netdev_table() unnecessary. write_priomap() now calls extend_netdev_table() directly.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless into for-davem John W. Linville says: ==================== This is a batch of fixes intended for 3.7... Included are two pulls. Regarding the mac80211 tree, Johannes says: "Please pull my mac80211.git tree (see below) to get two more fixes for 3.7. Both fix regressions introduced *before* this cycle that weren't noticed until now, one for IBSS not cleaning up properly and the other to add back the "wireless" sysfs directory for Fedora's startup scripts." Regarding the iwlwifi tree, Johannes says: "Please also pull my iwlwifi.git tree, I have two fixes: one to remove a spurious warning that can actually trigger in legitimate situations, and the other to fix a regression from when monitor mode was changed to use the "sniffer" firmware mode." Also included is an nfc tree pull. Samuel says: "We mostly have pn533 fixes here, 2 memory leaks and an early unlocking fix. Moreover, we also have an LLCP adapter linked list insertion fix." On top of that, a few more bits... Albert Pool adds a USB ID to rtlwifi. Bing Zhao provides two mwifiex fixes -- one to fix a system hang during a command timeout, and the other to properly report a suspend error to the MMC core. Finally, Sujith Manoharan fixes a thinko that would trigger an ath9k hang during device reset. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-11-20proc: Usable inode numbers for the namespace file descriptors.Eric W. Biederman
Assign a unique proc inode to each namespace, and use that inode number to ensure we only allocate at most one proc inode for every namespace in proc. A single proc inode per namespace allows userspace to test to see if two processes are in the same namespace. This has been a long requested feature and only blocked because a naive implementation would put the id in a global space and would ultimately require having a namespace for the names of namespaces, making migration and certain virtualization tricks impossible. We still don't have per superblock inode numbers for proc, which appears necessary for application unaware checkpoint/restart and migrations (if the application is using namespace file descriptors) but that is now allowd by the design if it becomes important. I have preallocated the ipc and uts initial proc inode numbers so their structures can be statically initialized. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

2012-11-19userns: make each net (net_ns) belong to a user_nsEric W. Biederman
The user namespace which creates a new network namespace owns that namespace and all resources created in it. This way we can target capability checks for privileged operations against network resources to the user_ns which created the network namespace in which the resource lives. Privilege to the user namespace which owns the network namespace, or any parent user namespace thereof, provides the same privilege to the network resource.
