mptcp: avoid lock_fast usage in accept path

2021-02-13T00:31:46Z

Once event support is added this may need to allocate memory while msk lock is held with softirqs disabled. Not using lock_fast also allows to do the allocation with GFP_KERNEL. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: Mat Martineau Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

genetlink: allow dumping command-specific policy

2020-10-03T21:18:29Z

Right now CTRL_CMD_GETPOLICY can only dump the family-wide policy. Support dumping policy of a specific op. v3: - rebase after per-op policy export and handle that v2: - make cmd U32, just in case. v1: - don't echo op in the output in a naive way, this should make it cleaner to extend the output format for dumping policies for all the commands at once in the future.

genetlink: properly support per-op policy dumping

2020-10-03T21:18:29Z

Add support for per-op policy dumping. The data is pretty much as before, except that now the assumption that the policy with index 0 is "the" policy no longer holds - you now need to look at the new CTRL_ATTR_OP_POLICY attribute which is a nested attr (indexed by op) containing attributes for do and dump policies. When a single op is requested, the CTRL_ATTR_OP_POLICY will be added in the same way, since do and dump policies may differ. v2: - conditionally advertise per-command policies only if there actually is a policy being used for the do/dump and it's present at all Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

genetlink: factor skb preparation out of ctrl_dumppolicy()

2020-10-03T21:18:29Z

We'll need this later for the per-op policy index dump. Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: rework policy dump to support multiple policies

2020-10-03T21:18:29Z

Rework the policy dump code a bit to support adding multiple policies to a single dump, in order to e.g. support per-op policies in generic netlink. v2: - move kernel-doc to implementation [Jakub] - squash the first patch to not flip-flop on the prototype [Jakub] - merge netlink_policy_dump_get_policy_idx() with the old get_policy_idx() we already had - rebase without Jakub's patch to have per-op dump Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

genetlink: switch control commands to per-op policies

2020-10-03T02:11:12Z

In preparation for adding a new attribute to CTRL_CMD_GETPOLICY split the policies for getpolicy and getfamily apart. This will cause a slight user-visible change in that dumping the policies will switch from per family to per op, but supposedly sniffer-type applications (which are the main use case for policy dumping thus far) should support both, anyway.

genetlink: use parsed attrs in dumppolicy

2020-10-03T02:11:12Z

Attributes are already parsed based on the policy specified in the family and ready-to-use in info->attrs. No need to call genlmsg_parse() again. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

genetlink: bring back per op policy

2020-10-03T02:11:12Z

Add policy to the struct genl_ops structure, this time with maxattr, so it can be used properly. Propagate .policy and .maxattr from the family in genl_get_cmd() if needed, this way the rest of the code does not have to worry if the policy is per op or global.

genetlink: use .start callback for dumppolicy

2020-10-03T02:11:12Z

The structure of ctrl_dumppolicy() is clearly split into init and dumping. Move the init to a .start callback for clarity, it's a more idiomatic netlink dump code structure. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

genetlink: add a structure for dump state

2020-10-03T02:11:12Z

Whenever netlink dump uses more than 2 cb->args[] entries code gets hard to read. We're about to add more state to ctrl_dumppolicy() so create a structure. Since the structure is typed and clearly named we can remove the local fam_id variable and use ctx->fam_id directly. v3: - rebase onto explicit free fix v1: - s/nl_policy_dump/netlink_policy_dump_state/ - forward declare struct netlink_policy_dump_state, and move from passing unsigned long to actual pointer type - add build bug on - u16 fam_id - s/args/ctx/ Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.
