* wext: remove seq_start/stop sparse annotationsJohannes Berg2009-05-131-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Even though they are true, they cause sparse to complain because it doesn't see the __acquires(dev_base_lock) on dev_seq_start() because it is only added to the function in net/core/dev.c, not the header file. To keep track of the nesting correctly we should probably annotate those functions publically, but for now let's just remove the annotation I added to wext.

* wext: fix get_wireless_stats lockingJohannes Berg2009-05-111-4/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, get_wireless_stats is racy by _design_. This is because it returns a buffer, which needs to be statically allocated since it cannot be freed if it was allocated dynamically. Also, SIOCGIWSTATS and /proc/net/wireless use no common lock, and /proc/net/wireless accesses are not synchronised against each other. This is a design flaw in get_wireless_stats since the beginning. This patch fixes it by wrapping /proc/net/wireless accesses with the RTNL so they are protected against each other and SIOCGIWSTATS. The more correct method of fixing this would be to pass in the buffer instead of returning it and have the caller take care of synchronisation of the buffer, but even then most drivers probably assume that their callback is protected by the RTNL like all other wext callbacks.

* [WIRELESS] WEXT: Fix userspace corruption on 64-bit.David S. Miller2007-11-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 64-bit systems sizeof(struct ifreq) is 8 bytes larger than sizeof(struct iwreq). For GET calls, the wireless extension code copies back into userspace using sizeof(struct ifreq) but userspace and elsewhere only allocates a "struct iwreq". Thus, this copy writes past the end of the iwreq object and corrupts whatever sits after it in memory. Fix the copy_to_user() length. This particularly hurts the compat case because the wireless compat code uses compat_alloc_userspace() and right after this allocated buffer is the current bottom of the user stack, and that's what gets overwritten by the copy_to_user() call.

* [NET]: Fix race when opening a proc file while a network namespace is exiting.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-111-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem: proc_net files remember which network namespace the are against but do not remember hold a reference count (as that would pin the network namespace). So we currently have a small window where the reference count on a network namespace may be incremented when opening a /proc file when it has already gone to zero. To fix this introduce maybe_get_net and get_proc_net. maybe_get_net increments the network namespace reference count only if it is greater then zero, ensuring we don't increment a reference count after it has gone to zero. get_proc_net handles all of the magic to go from a proc inode to the network namespace instance and call maybe_get_net on it. PROC_NET the old accessor is removed so that we don't get confused and use the wrong helper function. Then I fix up the callers to use get_proc_net and handle the case case where get_proc_net returns NULL. In that case I return -ENXIO because effectively the network namespace has already gone away so the files we are trying to access don't exist anymore. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-111-9/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespaceEric W. Biederman2007-10-111-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace. The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument, and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument. This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces. Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents that are relevant to a single network namespace.

| | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes a bunch of inline abuse from wext.
