| * [IPSEC]: Store idev entriesHerbert Xu2005-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found a bug that stopped IPsec/IPv6 from working. About a month ago IPv6 started using rt6i_idev->dev on the cached socket dst entries. If the cached socket dst entry is IPsec, then rt6i_idev will be NULL. Since we want to look at the rt6i_idev of the original route in this case, the easiest fix is to store rt6i_idev in the IPsec dst entry just as we do for a number of other IPv6 route attributes. Unfortunately this means that we need some new code to handle the references to rt6i_idev. That's why this patch is bigger than it would otherwise be. I've also done the same thing for IPv4 since it is conceivable that once these idev attributes start getting used for accounting, we probably need to dereference them for IPv4 IPsec entries too.

| * [NET]: Disable queueing when carrier is lost.Tommy S. Christensen2005-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some network drivers call netif_stop_queue() when detecting loss of carrier. This leads to packets being queued up at the qdisc level for an unbound period of time. In order to prevent this effect, the core networking stack will now cease to queue packets for any device, that is operationally down (i.e. the queue is flushed and disabled). Signed-off-by: Tommy S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we free up a partially processed packet because it's skb->len dropped to zero, we need to decrement qlen because we are dropping out of the top-level loop so it will do the decrement for us.

| * [NETLINK]: Synchronous message processing.Herbert Xu2005-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let's recap the problem. The current asynchronous netlink kernel message processing is vulnerable to these attacks: 1) Hit and run: Attacker sends one or more messages and then exits before they're processed. This may confuse/disable the next netlink user that gets the netlink address of the attacker since it may receive the responses to the attacker's messages. Proposed solutions: a) Synchronous processing. b) Stream mode socket. c) Restrict/prohibit binding. 2) Starvation: Because various netlink rcv functions were written to not return until all messages have been processed on a socket, it is possible for these functions to execute for an arbitrarily long period of time. If this is successfully exploited it could also be used to hold rtnl forever. Proposed solutions: a) Synchronous processing. b) Stream mode socket. Firstly let's cross off solution c). It only solves the first problem and it has user-visible impacts. In particular, it'll break user space applications that expect to bind or communicate with specific netlink addresses (pid's). So we're left with a choice of synchronous processing versus SOCK_STREAM for netlink. For the moment I'm sticking with the synchronous approach as suggested by Alexey since it's simpler and I'd rather spend my time working on other things. However, it does have a number of deficiencies compared to the stream mode solution: 1) User-space to user-space netlink communication is still vulnerable. 2) Inefficient use of resources. This is especially true for rtnetlink since the lock is shared with other users such as networking drivers. The latter could hold the rtnl while communicating with hardware which causes the rtnetlink user to wait when it could be doing other things. 3) It is still possible to DoS all netlink users by flooding the kernel netlink receive queue. The attacker simply fills the receive socket with a single netlink message that fills up the entire queue. The attacker then continues to call sendmsg with the same message in a loop. Point 3) can be countered by retransmissions in user-space code, however it is pretty messy. In light of these problems (in particular, point 3), we should implement stream mode netlink at some point. In the mean time, here is a patch that implements synchronous processing.

| * [NETLINK]: cb_lock does not needs ref count on skHerbert Xu2005-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here is a little optimisation for the cb_lock used by netlink_dump. While fixing that race earlier, I noticed that the reference count held by cb_lock is completely useless. The reason is that in order to obtain the protection of the reference count, you have to take the cb_lock. But the only way to take the cb_lock is through dereferencing the socket. That is, you must already possess a reference count on the socket before you can take advantage of the reference count held by cb_lock. As a corollary, we can remve the reference count held by the cb_lock. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our university students again. The documentation could be extended for more sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0 time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well. So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are not too much skewed. I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc. You can see result of the modified documentation build at http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick cleanup work.

There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out code, fix those up to use access_ok.
