* sctp: Fix kernel panic while process protocol violation parameterWei Yongjun2008-09-302-24/+61
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since call to function sctp_sf_abort_violation() need paramter 'arg' with 'struct sctp_chunk' type, it will read the chunk type and chunk length from the chunk_hdr member of chunk. But call to sctp_sf_violation_paramlen() always with 'struct sctp_paramhdr' type's parameter, it will be passed to sctp_sf_abort_violation(). This may cause kernel panic. sctp_sf_violation_paramlen() |-- sctp_sf_abort_violation() |-- sctp_make_abort_violation() This patch fixed this problem.

After that, polling is stopped and the trans is destroyed. This sequence has a few problems. * Read and write works were never cancelled and the p9_conn can be destroyed while the works are running as r/w works remove requests from the list and dereference the p9_conn from them. * The list emptiness wait using p9_conn->equeue wouldn't trigger because p9_conn_cancel() always clears all the lists and the only way the wait can be triggered is to have another task to issue a request between the slim window between p9_conn_cancel() and the wait, which isn't safe under the current implementation with or without the wait. This patch fixes the problem by first stopping poll, which can schedule r/w works, first and cancle r/w works which guarantees that r/w works are not and will not run from that point and then calling p9_conn_cancel() and do the rest of destruction.

* | | sys_paccept: disable paccept() until API design is resolvedMichael Kerrisk2008-09-231-0/+2
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reasons for disabling paccept() are as follows: * The API is more complex than needed. There is AFAICS no demonstrated use case that the sigset argument of this syscall serves that couldn't equally be served by the use of pselect/ppoll/epoll_pwait + traditional accept(). Roland seems to concur with this opinion (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723953/focus=732255). I have (more than once) asked Ulrich to explain otherwise (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723952/focus=731018), but he does not respond, so one is left to assume that he doesn't know of such a case. * The use of a sigset argument is not consistent with other I/O APIs that can block on a single file descriptor (e.g., read(), recv(), connect()). * The behavior of paccept() when interrupted by a signal is IMO strange: the kernel restarts the system call if SA_RESTART was set for the handler. I think that it should not do this -- that it should behave consistently with paccept()/ppoll()/epoll_pwait(), which never restart, regardless of SA_RESTART. The reasoning here is that the very purpose of paccept() is to wait for a connection or a signal, and that restarting in the latter case is probably never useful. (Note: Roland disagrees on this point, believing that rather paccept() should be consistent with accept() in its behavior wrt EINTR (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723953/focus=732255).) I believe that instead, a simpler API, consistent with Ulrich's other recent additions, is preferable: accept4(int fd, struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t *salen, ind flags); (This simpler API was originally proposed by Ulrich: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/92072) If this simpler API is added, then if we later decide that the sigset argument really is required, then a suitable bit in 'flags' could be added to indicate the presence of the sigset argument. At this point, I am hoping we either will get a counter-argument from Ulrich about why we really do need paccept()'s sigset argument, or that he will resubmit the original accept4() patch.

This causes a serious performance regression which can be seen by sending UDP frames larger than mtu on multiqueue devices.

However, that introduces a problem with sctp_connectx(), because we don't mark the proper state for the transports provided by the user. So, we'll simply mark user-provided transports as ACTIVE.

* [Bluetooth] Fix regression from using default link policyMarcel Holtmann2008-09-121-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To speed up the Simple Pairing connection setup, the support for the default link policy has been enabled. This is in contrast to settings the link policy on every connection setup. Using the default link policy is the preferred way since there is no need to dynamically change it for every connection. For backward compatibility reason and to support old userspace the HCISETLINKPOL ioctl has been switched over to using hci_request() to issue the HCI command for setting the default link policy instead of just storing it in the HCI device structure. However the hci_request() can only be issued when the device is brought up. If used on a device that is registered, but still down it will timeout and fail. This is problematic since the command is put on the TX queue and the Bluetooth core tries to submit it to hardware that is not ready yet. The timeout for these requests is 10 seconds and this causes a significant regression when setting up a new device. The userspace can perfectly handle a failure of the HCISETLINKPOL ioctl and will re-submit it later, but the 10 seconds delay causes a problem. So in case hci_request() is called on a device that is still down, just fail it with ENETDOWN to indicate what happens. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

| * [Bluetooth] Reject L2CAP connections on an insecure ACL linkMarcel Holtmann2008-09-093-5/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Security Mode 4 of the Bluetooth 2.1 specification has strict authentication and encryption requirements. It is the initiators job to create a secure ACL link. However in case of malicious devices, the acceptor has to make sure that the ACL is encrypted before allowing any kind of L2CAP connection. The only exception here is the PSM 1 for the service discovery protocol, because that is allowed to run on an insecure ACL link. Previously it was enough to reject a L2CAP connection during the connection setup phase, but with Bluetooth 2.1 it is forbidden to do any L2CAP protocol exchange on an insecure link (except SDP). The new hci_conn_check_link_mode() function can be used to check the integrity of an ACL link. This functions also takes care of the cases where Security Mode 4 is disabled or one of the devices is based on an older specification. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
| * [Bluetooth] Enforce correct authentication requirementsMarcel Holtmann2008-09-093-6/+23

The only exception here is PSM 1 for the service discovery protocol (SDP). It is meant to be used without any encryption since it contains only public information. This is how Bluetooth 2.0 and before handle connections on PSM 1. For Bluetooth 2.1 devices the pairing procedure differentiates between no bonding, general bonding and dedicated bonding. The L2CAP layer wrongly uses always general bonding when creating new connections, but it should not do this for SDP connections. In this case the authentication requirement should be no bonding and the just-works model should be used, but in case of non-SDP connection it is required to use general bonding. If the new connection requires man-in-the-middle (MITM) protection, it also first wrongly creates an unauthenticated link key and then later on requests an upgrade to an authenticated link key to provide full MITM protection. With Simple Pairing the link key generation is an expensive operation (compared to Bluetooth 2.0 and before) and doing this twice during a connection setup causes a noticeable delay when establishing a new connection. This should be avoided to not regress from the expected Bluetooth 2.0 connection times. The authentication requirements are known up-front and so enforce them. To fulfill these requirements the hci_connect() function has been extended with an authentication requirement parameter that will be stored inside the connection information and can be retrieved by userspace at any time. This allows the correct IO capabilities exchange and results in the expected behavior. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
| * [Bluetooth] Fix reference counting during ACL config stageMarcel Holtmann2008-09-091-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ACL config stage keeps holding a reference count on incoming connections when requesting the extended features. This results in keeping an ACL link up without any users. The problem here is that the Bluetooth specification doesn't define an ownership of the ACL link and thus it can happen that the implementation on the initiator side doesn't care about disconnecting unused links. In this case the acceptor needs to take care of this. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

The timewait sockets life cycle is not tied with the network namespace, that means the timewait sockets stay alive while the network namespace dies. The timewait sockets are for avoiding to receive a duplicate packet from the network, if the network namespace is freed, the network stack is removed, so no chance to receive any packets from the outside world. Furthermore, having a pending destruction timer on these sockets with a network namespace freed is not safe and will lead to an oops if the timer callback which try to access data belonging to the namespace like for example in: inet_twdr_do_twkill_work -> NET_INC_STATS_BH(twsk_net(tw), LINUX_MIB_TIMEWAITED); Purging the timewait sockets at the network namespace destruction will: 1) speed up memory freeing for the namespace 2) fix kernel panic on asynchronous timewait destruction Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Acked-by: Denis V.

| * | ipsec: Fix deadlock in xfrm_state management.David S. Miller2008-09-031-9/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ever since commit 4c563f7669c10a12354b72b518c2287ffc6ebfb3 ("[XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") it is illegal to call __xfrm_state_destroy (and thus xfrm_state_put()) with xfrm_state_lock held. If we do, we'll deadlock since we have the lock already and __xfrm_state_destroy() tries to take it again. Fix this by pushing the xfrm_state_put() calls after the lock is dropped.

| * | ipv: Re-enable IP when MTU > 68Breno Leitao2008-09-031-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Re-enable IP when the MTU gets back to a valid size. This patch just checks if the in_dev is NULL on a NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event and if MTU is valid (bigger than 68), then re-enable in_dev. Also a function that checks valid MTU size was created.

So a NULL test that comes after an IS_ERR test should be deleted. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @match_bad_null_test@ expression x, E; statement S1,S2; @@ x = xfrm_bundle_create(...) ... when != x = E * if (x != NULL) S1 else S2 // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julien Brunel <brunel@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * | mac80211: Fix debugfs union misuse and pointer corruptionJouni Malinen2008-09-022-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures; usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost. Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct (common_debugfs) that contains dentries (more to be added in future) that are shared by all vif types. The debugfs union must only be used for vif type-specific entries to avoid this type of pointer corruption.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current setup with hal and NetworkManager will fail to work without newest hal version with this config option disabled. Although this will solve itself by time, at the moment it is dishonest to say that we don't know any software that uses it, if there are many many people relying on old hal versions.
