[ Upstream commit 39f13ea2f61b439ebe0060393e9c39925c9ee28c ]

tc_ctl_action() has the ability to loop forever if tcf_action_add()
returns -EAGAIN.

This special case has been done in case a module needed to be loaded,
but it turns out that tcf_add_notify() could also return -EAGAIN
if the socket sk_rcvbuf limit is hit.

We need to separate the two cases, and only loop for the module
loading case.

While we are at it, add a limit of 10 attempts since unbounded
loops are always scary.

syzbot repro was something like :

socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW|SOCK_NONBLOCK, NETLINK_ROUTE) = 3
write(3, ..., 38) = 38
setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, [0], 4) = 0
sendmsg(3, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{..., 388}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0x10}, ...)

[ Upstream commit 4b793feccae3b06764268377a4030eb774ed924e ]

For TCA_ACT_KIND, we have to keep the backward compatibility too,
and rely on nla_strlcpy() to check and terminate the string with
a NUL.

Note for TC actions, nla_strcmp() is already used to compare kind
strings, so we don't need to fix other places.

<title>idr: fix overflow case for idr_for_each_entry_ul()</title>

<content type='text'>
idr_for_each_entry_ul() is buggy as it can't handle overflow
case correctly. When we have an ID == UINT_MAX, it becomes an
infinite loop. This happens when running on 32-bit CPU where
unsigned long has the same size with unsigned int.

There is no better way to fix this than casting it to a larger
integer, but we can't just 64 bit integer on 32 bit CPU. Instead
we could just use an additional integer to help us to detect this
overflow case, that is, adding a new parameter to this macro.
Fortunately tc action is its only user right now.

 "Here is another set of reviewed patches that adds SPDX tags to
  different kernel files, based on a set of rules that are being used to
  parse the comments to try to determine that the license of the file is
  "GPL-2.0-or-later" or "GPL-2.0-only". Only the "obvious" versions of
  these matches are included here, a number of "non-obvious" variants of
  text have been found but those have been postponed for later review
  and analysis.

  There is also a patch in here to add the proper SPDX header to a bunch
  of Kbuild files that we have missed in the past due to new files being
  added and forgetting that Kbuild uses two different file names for
  Makefiles. This issue was reported by the Kbuild maintainer.

  These patches have been out for review on the linux-spdx@vger mailing
  list, and while they were created by automatic tools, they were
  hand-verified by a bunch of different people, all whom names are on
  the patches are reviewers"

<title>net: sched: don't use tc_action-&gt;order during action dump</title>

<content type='text'>
Function tcf_action_dump() relies on tc_action-&gt;order field when starting
nested nla to send action data to userspace. This approach breaks in
several cases:

- When multiple filters point to same shared action, tc_action-&gt;order field
  is overwritten each time it is attached to filter. This causes filter
  dump to output action with incorrect attribute for all filters that have
  the action in different position (different order) from the last set
  tc_action-&gt;order value.

- When action data is displayed using tc action API (RTM_GETACTION), action
  order is overwritten by tca_action_gd() according to its position in
  resulting array of nl attributes, which will break filter dump for all
  filters attached to that shared action that expect it to have different
  order value.

Don't rely on tc_action-&gt;order when dumping actions. Set nla according to
action position in resulting array of actions instead.

<title>netlink: make validation more configurable for future strictness</title>
<updated>2019-04-27T21:07:21Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Johannes Berg</name>
</author>
<published>2019-04-26T12:07:28Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=8cb081746c031fb164089322e2336a0bf5b3070c'/>
<id>urn:sha1:8cb081746c031fb164089322e2336a0bf5b3070c</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently have two levels of strict validation:

 1) liberal (default)
     - undefined (type &gt;= max) &amp; NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted
     - garbage at end of message accepted
 2) strict (opt-in)
     - NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted

Split out parsing strictness into four different options:
 * TRAILING     - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
                  attributes (in message or nested)
 * MAXTYPE      - reject attrs &gt; max known type
 * UNSPEC       - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
 * STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size

The default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().

Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.

We end up with the following renames:
 * nla_parse           -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated
 * nla_parse_strict    -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nlmsg_parse         -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated
 * nlmsg_parse_strict  -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nla_parse_nested    -&gt; nla_parse_nested_deprecated
 * nla_validate_nested -&gt; nla_validate_nested_deprecated

Using spatch, of course:

For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions
yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong.

Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a
common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication.

Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every
new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the
next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is.

In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command.

Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most
netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not
setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers
not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's
mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display
the structure of their contents.

Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be
userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than
through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames
nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start()
as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually
are rewritten to use nla_nest_start().

Except for changes in include/net/netlink.h, the patch was generated using
this semantic patch:

@@ expression E1, E2; @@
-nla_nest_start(E1, E2)
+nla_nest_start_noflag(E1, E2)

@@ expression E1, E2; @@
-nla_nest_start_noflag(E1, E2 | NLA_F_NESTED)
+nla_nest_start(E1, E2)

use RCU when accessing the action chain, to avoid use after free in the
traffic path when 'goto chain' is replaced on existing TC actions (see
script below). Since the control action is read in the traffic path
without holding the action spinlock, we need to explicitly ensure that
a-&gt;goto_chain is not NULL before dereferencing (i.e it's not sufficient
to rely on the value of TC_ACT_GOTO_CHAIN bits). Not doing so caused NULL
dereferences in tcf_action_goto_chain_exec() when the following script:

 # tc chain add dev dd0 chain 42 ingress protocol ip flower \
 &gt; ip_proto udp action pass index 4
 # tc filter add dev dd0 ingress protocol ip flower \
 &gt; ip_proto udp action csum udp goto chain 42 index 66
 # tc chain del dev dd0 chain 42 ingress
 (start UDP traffic towards dd0)
 # tc action replace action csum udp pass index 66

was run repeatedly for several hours.
