rtnetlink: Fix regression in bridge VLAN configuration

2021-06-23T12:43:56Z

[ Upstream commit d2e381c4963663bca6f30c3b996fa4dbafe8fcb5 ] Cited commit started returning errors when notification info is not filled by the bridge driver, resulting in the following regression: # ip link add name br1 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 # bridge vlan add dev br1 vid 555 self pvid untagged RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument As long as the bridge driver does not fill notification info for the bridge device itself, an empty notification should not be considered as an error. This is explained in commit 59ccaaaa49b5 ("bridge: dont send notification when skb->len == 0 in rtnl_bridge_notify"). Fix by removing the error and add a comment to avoid future bugs.

net: fix dev_ifsioc_locked() race condition

2021-02-12T02:14:19Z

dev_ifsioc_locked() is called with only RCU read lock, so when there is a parallel writer changing the mac address, it could get a partially updated mac address, as shown below: Thread 1 Thread 2 // eth_commit_mac_addr_change() memcpy(dev->dev_addr, addr->sa_data, ETH_ALEN); // dev_ifsioc_locked() memcpy(ifr->ifr_hwaddr.sa_data, dev->dev_addr,...); Close this race condition by guarding them with a RW semaphore, like netdev_get_name(). We can not use seqlock here as it does not allow blocking. The writers already take RTNL anyway, so this does not affect the slow path. To avoid bothering existing dev_set_mac_address() callers in drivers, introduce a new wrapper just for user-facing callers on ioctl and rtnetlink paths. Note, bonding also changes slave mac addresses but that requires a separate patch due to the complexity of bonding code.

net: bridge: multicast: make tracked EHT hosts limit configurable

2021-01-28T01:40:35Z

Add two new port attributes which make EHT hosts limit configurable and export the current number of tracked EHT hosts: - IFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_EHT_HOSTS_LIMIT: configure/retrieve current limit - IFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_EHT_HOSTS_CNT: current number of tracked hosts Setting IFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_EHT_HOSTS_LIMIT to 0 is currently not allowed. Note that we have to increase RTNL_SLAVE_MAX_TYPE to 38 minimum, I've increased it to 40 to have space for two more future entries. v2: move br_multicast_eht_set_hosts_limit() to br_multicast_eht.c, no functional change Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: make free_netdev() more lenient with unregistering devices

2021-01-09T03:27:41Z

There are two flavors of handling netdev registration: - ones called without holding rtnl_lock: register_netdev() and unregister_netdev(); and - those called with rtnl_lock held: register_netdevice() and unregister_netdevice(). While the semantics of the former are pretty clear, the same can't be said about the latter. The netdev_todo mechanism is utilized to perform some of the device unregistering tasks and it hooks into rtnl_unlock() so the locked variants can't actually finish the work. In general free_netdev() does not mix well with locked calls. Most drivers operating under rtnl_lock set dev->needs_free_netdev to true and expect core to make the free_netdev() call some time later. The part where this becomes most problematic is error paths. There is no way to unwind the state cleanly after a call to register_netdevice(), since unreg can't be performed fully without dropping locks. Make free_netdev() more lenient, and defer the freeing if device is being unregistered. This allows error paths to simply call free_netdev() both after register_netdevice() failed, and after a call to unregister_netdevice() but before dropping rtnl_lock. Simplify the error paths which are currently doing gymnastics around free_netdev() handling. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski
