| * inet_diag: Make sure we actually run the same bytecode we audited.Nelson Elhage2010-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were using nlmsg_find_attr() to look up the bytecode by attribute when auditing, but then just using the first attribute when actually running bytecode. So, if we received a message with two attribute elements, where only the second had type INET_DIAG_REQ_BYTECODE, we would validate and run different bytecode strings. Fix this by consistently using nlmsg_find_attr everywhere. Signed-off-by: Nelson Elhage <nelhage@ksplice.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

So if the related data is freed by kernel, the freed percpu_counter is still on the list, then if we insert/remove other percpu_counter, list corruption resulted. Also, if the insert/remove option modifies the ->prev,->next pointer of the freed value, the poison overwritten is resulted then. With the following patch, the percpu_counter list corruption and poison overwritten warnings disappeared. Signed-off-by: Xiaotian Feng <dfeng@redhat.com> Cc: "David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Even with the previous fix, we still are reading the iovecs once to determine SGs needed, and then again later on. Preallocating space for sg lists as part of rds_message seemed like a good idea but it might be better to not do this. While working to redo that code, this patch attempts to protect against userspace rewriting the rds_iovec array between the first and second accesses. The consequences of this would be either a too-small or too-large sg list array. Too large is not an issue. This patch changes all callers of message_alloc_sgs to handle running out of preallocated sgs, and fail gracefully. Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Change rds_cmsg_rdma_args to copy rds_iovec array once only. This eliminates the possibility of userspace changing it after our sanity checks. Implement stack-based storage for small numbers of iovecs, based on net/socket.c, to save an alloc in the extremely common case. Although this patch reduces iovec copies in cmsg_rdma_args to 1, we still do another one in rds_rdma_extra_size. Getting rid of that one will be trickier, so it'll be a separate patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported by Thomas Pollet, the rdma page counting can overflow. We get the rdma sizes in 64-bit unsigned entities, but then limit it to UINT_MAX bytes and shift them down to pages (so with a possible "+1" for an unaligned address). So each individual page count fits comfortably in an 'unsigned int' (not even close to overflowing into signed), but as they are added up, they might end up resulting in a signed return value. Which would be wrong. Catch the case of tot_pages turning negative, and return the appropriate error code.

Patch below. The key_key_read() function returns ssize_t and the value that's actually returned is the return value of simple_read_from_buffer() which also returns ssize_t, so let's hold the return value in a ssize_t local variable rather than a int one. Also, memory is allocated dynamically with kmalloc() which can fail, but the return value of kmalloc() is not checked, so we may end up operating on a null pointer further on. So check for a NULL return and bail out with -ENOMEM in that case. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Once we hit INT_MAX we truncate out the rest of the iovec by setting the iov_len members to zero. This works because: 1) For SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets, partial writes are allowed and the application will just continue with another write to send the rest of the data. 2) For datagram oriented sockets, where there must be a one-to-one correspondance between write() calls and packets on the wire, INT_MAX is going to be far larger than the packet size limit the protocol is going to check for and signal with -EMSGSIZE.

If CCID-2 for example has a full TX queue and becomes network-limited just as the application wants to close, then waiting for CCID-2 to become unblocked could lead to an indefinite delay (i.e., application "hangs"). 2) Since each TX CCID in turn uses a feedback mechanism, there may be changes in its sending policy while the queue is being drained. This can lead to further delays during which the application will not be able to terminate. 3) The minimum wait time for CCID-3/4 can be expected to be the queue length times the current inter-packet delay. For example if tx_qlen=100 and a delay of 15 ms is used for each packet, then the application would have to wait for a minimum of 1.5 seconds before being allowed to exit. 4) There is no way for the user/application to control this behaviour. It would be good to use the timeout argument of dccp_close() as an upper bound. Then the maximum time that an application is willing to wait for its CCIDs to can be set via the SO_LINGER option. These problems are addressed by giving the CCID a grace period of up to the `timeout' value. The wait-for-ccid function is, as before, used when the application (a) has read all the data in its receive buffer and (b) if SO_LINGER was set with a non-zero linger time, or (c) the socket is either in the OPEN (active close) or in the PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ state (client application closes after receiving CloseReq). In addition, there is a catch-all case of __skb_queue_purge() after waiting for the CCID. This is necessary since the write queue may still have data when (a) the host has been passively-closed, (b) abnormal termination (unread data, zero linger time), (c) wait-for-ccid could not finish within the given time limit.

| * | | dccp: Extend CCID packet dequeueing interfaceGerrit Renker2010-10-28

CCIDs to take care of timing when the next packet may be sent; 2. delayed sending (as before, with an inter-packet gap up to 65.535 seconds). The main purpose is to take CCID-2 out of its polling mode (when it is network- limited, it tries every millisecond to send, without interruption). The mode of operation for (2) is as follows: * new packet is enqueued via dccp_sendmsg() => dccp_write_xmit(), * ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() detects that it may not send (e.g. window full), * it signals this condition via `CCID_PACKET_WILL_DEQUEUE_LATER', * dccp_write_xmit() returns without further action; * after some time the wait-condition for CCID becomes true, * that CCID schedules the tasklet, * tasklet function calls ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() via dccp_write_xmit(), * since the wait-condition is now true, ccid_hc_tx_packet() returns "send now", * packet is sent, and possibly more (since dccp_write_xmit() loops). Code reuse: the taskled function calls dccp_write_xmit(), the timer function reduces to a wrapper around the same code. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * | | dccp: Return-value convention of hc_tx_send_packet()Gerrit Renker2010-10-28
| | |/ | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reorganises the return value convention of the CCID TX sending function, to permit more flexible schemes, as required by subsequent patches. Currently the convention is * values < 0 mean error, * a value == 0 means "send now", and * a value x > 0 means "send in x milliseconds". The patch provides symbolic constants and a function to interpret return values. In addition, it caps the maximum positive return value to 0xFFFF milliseconds, corresponding to 65.535 seconds. This is possible since in CCID-3/4 the maximum possible inter-packet gap is fixed at t_mbi = 64 sec. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.
