2018-01-01net: enable interface alias removal via rtnlNicolas Dichtel
commit 2459b4c635858094df78abb9ca87d99f89fe8ca5 upstream. IFLA_IFALIAS is defined as NLA_STRING. It means that the minimal length of the attribute is 1 ("\0"). However, to remove an alias, the attribute length must be 0 (see dev_set_alias()). Let's define the type to NLA_BINARY to allow 0-length string, so that the alias can be removed. Example: $ ip l s dummy0 alias foo $ ip l l dev dummy0 5: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether ae:20:30:4f:a7:f3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff alias foo Before the patch: $ ip l s dummy0 alias "" RTNETLINK answers: Numerical result out of range After the patch: $ ip l s dummy0 alias "" $ ip l l dev dummy0 5: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether ae:20:30:4f:a7:f3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff CC: Oliver Hartkopp <oliver@hartkopp.net> CC: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> Fixes: 96ca4a2cc145 ("net: remove ifalias on empty given alias") Reported-by: Julien FLoret <julien.floret@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

commit f567e950bf51290755a2539ff2aaef4c26f735d3 upstream. To avoid having dangling function pointers left behind, reset calcit in rtnl_unregister(), too. This is no issue so far, as only the rtnl core registers a netlink handler with a calcit hook which won't be unregistered, but may become one if new code makes use of the calcit hook.

2015-08-12rtnetlink: verify IFLA_VF_INFO attributes before passing them to driverDaniel Borkmann
commit 4f7d2cdfdde71ffe962399b7020c674050329423 upstream. Jason Gunthorpe reported that since commit c02db8c6290b ("rtnetlink: make SR-IOV VF interface symmetric"), we don't verify IFLA_VF_INFO attributes anymore with respect to their policy, that is, ifla_vfinfo_policy[]. Before, they were part of ifla_policy[], but they have been nested since placed under IFLA_VFINFO_LIST, that contains the attribute IFLA_VF_INFO, which is another nested attribute for the actual VF attributes such as IFLA_VF_MAC, IFLA_VF_VLAN, etc. Despite the policy being split out from ifla_policy[] in this commit, it's never applied anywhere. nla_for_each_nested() only does basic nla_ok() testing for struct nlattr, but it doesn't know about the data context and their requirements. Fix, on top of Jason's initial work, does 1) parsing of the attributes with the right policy, and 2) using the resulting parsed attribute table from 1) instead of the nla_for_each_nested() loop (just like we used to do when still part of ifla_policy[]).

2015-05-09rtnetlink: call ->dellink on failure when ->newlink existsWANG Cong
[ Upstream commit 7afb8886a05be68e376655539a064ec672de8a8e ] Ignacy reported that when eth0 is down and add a vlan device on top of it like: ip link add link eth0 name eth0.1 up type vlan id 1 We will get a refcount leak: unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0.1 to become free.

2015-05-09rtnetlink: ifla_vf_policy: fix misuses of NLA_BINARYDaniel Borkmann
commit 364d5716a7adb91b731a35765d369602d68d2881 upstream. ifla_vf_policy[] is wrong in advertising its individual member types as NLA_BINARY since .type = NLA_BINARY in combination with .len declares the len member as *max* attribute length [0, len]. The issue is that when do_setvfinfo() is being called to set up a VF through ndo handler, we could set corrupted data if the attribute length is less than the size of the related structure itself. The intent is exactly the opposite, namely to make sure to pass at least data of minimum size of len.

2014-08-06rtnetlink: fix userspace API breakage for iproute2 < v3.9.0Michal Schmidt
commit e5eca6d41f53db48edd8cf88a3f59d2c30227f8e upstream. When running RHEL6 userspace on a current upstream kernel, "ip link" fails to show VF information. The reason is a kernel<->userspace API change introduced by commit 88c5b5ce5cb57 ("rtnetlink: Call nlmsg_parse() with correct header length"), after which the kernel does not see iproute2's IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute in the netlink request. iproute2 adjusted for the API change in its commit 63338dca4513 ("libnetlink: Use ifinfomsg instead of rtgenmsg in rtnl_wilddump_req_filter"). The problem has been noticed before: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136692296022182&w=2 (Subject: Re: getting VF link info seems to be broken in 3.9-rc8) We can do better than tell those with old userspace to upgrade. We can recognize the old iproute2 in the kernel by checking the netlink message length. Even when including the IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute, its netlink message is shorter than struct ifinfomsg. With this patch "ip link" shows VF information in both old and new iproute2 versions. Signed-off-by: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-06-09rtnetlink: Only supply IFLA_VF_PORTS information when RTEXT_FILTER_VF is setDavid Gibson
[ Upstream commit c53864fd60227de025cb79e05493b13f69843971 ] Since 115c9b81928360d769a76c632bae62d15206a94a (rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocation), RTM_NEWLINK messages only contain the IFLA_VFINFO_LIST attribute if they were solicited by a GETLINK message containing an IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute with the RTEXT_FILTER_VF flag. That was done because some user programs broke when they received more data than expected - because IFLA_VFINFO_LIST contains information for each VF it can become large if there are many VFs. However, the IFLA_VF_PORTS attribute, supplied for devices which implement ndo_get_vf_port (currently the 'enic' driver only), has the same problem. It supplies per-VF information and can therefore become large, but it is not currently conditional on the IFLA_EXT_MASK value. Worse, it interacts badly with the existing EXT_MASK handling. When IFLA_EXT_MASK is not supplied, the buffer for netlink replies is fixed at NLMSG_GOODSIZE. If the information for IFLA_VF_PORTS exceeds this, then rtnl_fill_ifinfo() returns -EMSGSIZE on the first message in a packet. netlink_dump() will misinterpret this as having finished the listing and omit data for this interface and all subsequent ones. That can cause getifaddrs(3) to enter an infinite loop. This patch addresses the problem by only supplying IFLA_VF_PORTS when IFLA_EXT_MASK is supplied with the RTEXT_FILTER_VF flag set.

2014-06-09rtnetlink: Warn when interface's information won't fit in our packetDavid Gibson
[ Upstream commit 973462bbde79bb827824c73b59027a0aed5c9ca6 ] Without IFLA_EXT_MASK specified, the information reported for a single interface in response to RTM_GETLINK is expected to fit within a netlink packet of NLMSG_GOODSIZE. If it doesn't, however, things will go badly wrong, When listing all interfaces, netlink_dump() will incorrectly treat -EMSGSIZE on the first message in a packet as the end of the listing and omit information for that interface and all subsequent ones.

2012-11-16rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocationGreg Rose
commit 115c9b81928360d769a76c632bae62d15206a94a upstream. Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application. At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information about the VFs belonging to the interface. This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions. Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel. Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE. With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible in the future.

[ Upstream commit b1beb681cba5358f62e6187340660ade226a5fcc ] When device flags are set using rtnetlink, IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI flags are handled specially. Function dev_change_flags sets IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI bits in dev->gflags according to the passed value but do_setlink passes a result of rtnl_dev_combine_flags which takes those bits from dev->flags. This can be easily trigerred by doing: tcpdump -i eth0 & ip l s up eth0 ip sets IFF_UP flag in ifi_flags and ifi_change, which is combined with IFF_PROMISC by rtnl_dev_combine_flags, causing __dev_change_flags to set IFF_PROMISC in gflags.

2011-07-01rtnl: provide link dump consistency infoThomas Graf
This patch adds a change sequence counter to each net namespace which is bumped whenever a netdevice is added or removed from the list. If such a change occurred while a link dump took place, the dump will have the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set in the first message which has been interrupted and in all subsequent messages of the same dump. Note that links may still be modified or renamed while a dump is taking place but we can guarantee for userspace to receive a complete list of links and not miss any. Testing: I have added 500 VLAN netdevices to make sure the dump is split over multiple messages. Then while continuously dumping links in one process I also continuously deleted and re-added a dummy netdevice in another process. Multiple dumps per seconds have had the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set. I guess we can wait for Johannes patch to hit net-next via the wireless tree. I just wanted to give this some testing right away.

2011-06-09rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump sizeGreg Rose
The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface. Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate enough data to satisfy the request.

Commit e67f88dd12f6 (dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks) missed fact that rtnl_fill_ifinfo() must be called with rtnl held. Because of possible deadlocks between two mutexes (cb_mutex and rtnl), its not easy to solve this problem, so revert this part of the patch.

2011-05-02net: dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacksEric Dumazet
Four years ago, Patrick made a change to hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks. I believe it was a wrong move. This slows down concurrent dumps, making good old /proc/net/ files faster than rtnetlink in some situations. This occurred to me because one "ip link show dev ..." was _very_ slow on a workload adding/removing network devices in background. All dump callbacks are able to use RCU locking now, so this patch does roughly a revert of commits : 1c2d670f366 : [RTNETLINK]: Hold rtnl_mutex during netlink dump callbacks 6313c1e0992 : [RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacks This let writers fight for rtnl mutex and readers going full speed.

Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Date: Sun Nov 8 00:53:51 2009 -0800 net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation. There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace with a well known name. We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing logic into rtnl_link_get_net. In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base device source network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

rtnl_group_changelink() is invoked by rtnl_newlink() before the link attributes have been validated. Additionally the group changes are performed even if NLM_F_CREATE is specified and a new link is created, while more reasonable semantics would be to set the group value on the newly created link. Fix both problems by moving the rtnl_group_changelink() invocation down to the handling of non-existant links without NLM_F_CREATE() and add a dev_set_group() call to rtnl_create_link().

2010-11-27rtnl: make link af-specific updates atomicThomas Graf
As David pointed out correctly, updates to af-specific attributes are currently not atomic. If multiple changes are requested and one of them fails, previous updates may have been applied already leaving the link behind in a undefined state. This patch splits the function parse_link_af() into two functions validate_link_af() and set_link_at(). validate_link_af() is placed to validate_linkmsg() check for errors as early as possible before any changes to the link have been made. set_link_af() is called to commit the changes later. This method is not fail proof, while it is currently sufficient to make set_link_af() inerrable and thus 100% atomic, the validation function method will not be able to detect all error scenarios in the future, there will likely always be errors depending on states which are f.e. not protected by rtnl_mutex and thus may change between validation and setting. Also, instead of silently ignoring unknown address families and config blocks for address families which did not register a set function the errors EAFNOSUPPORT respectively EOPNOSUPPORT are returned to avoid comitting 4 out of 5 update requests without notifying the user.

2010-11-17rtnetlink: Link address family APIThomas Graf
Each net_device contains address family specific data such as per device settings and statistics. We already expose this data via procfs/sysfs and partially netlink. The netlink method requires the requester to send one RTM_GETLINK request for each address family it wishes to receive data of and then merge this data itself. This patch implements a new API which combines all address family specific link data in a new netlink attribute IFLA_AF_SPEC. IFLA_AF_SPEC contains a sequence of nested attributes, one for each address family which in turn defines the structure of its own attribute. Example: [IFLA_AF_SPEC] = { [AF_INET] = { [IFLA_INET_CONF] = ..., }, [AF_INET6] = { [IFLA_INET6_FLAGS] = ..., [IFLA_INET6_CONF] = ..., } } The API also allows for address families to implement a function which parses the IFLA_AF_SPEC attribute sent by userspace to implement address family specific link options.

2010-11-12rtnetlink: Fix message size calculation for link messagesThomas Graf
nlmsg_total_size() calculates the length of a netlink message including header and alignment. nla_total_size() calculates the space an individual attribute consumes which was meant to be used in this context. Also, ensure to account for the attribute header for the IFLA_INFO_XSTATS attribute as implementations of get_xstats_size() seem to assume that we do so. The addition of two message headers minus the missing attribute header resulted in a calculated message size that was larger than required. Therefore we never risked running out of skb tailroom.

There is a small possibility that a reader gets incorrect values on 32 bit arches.

One way to solve this is to add a rtnl_link_stats64 param to all ndo_get_stats64() methods, and also add such a parameter to dev_get_stats(). Rule is that we are not allowed to use dev->stats64 as a temporary storage for 64bit stats, but a caller provided area (usually on stack) Old drivers (only providing get_stats() method) need no changes.

On 32-bit architectures, insert 32 bits of padding after/before each field of struct net_device_stats to make its layout compatible with struct rtnl_link_stats64. Add an anonymous union in net_device; move stats into the union and add struct rtnl_link_stats64 stats64. Add net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64, implementations of which will return a pointer to struct rtnl_link_stats64. Drivers that implement this operation must not update the structure asynchronously. Change dev_get_stats() to call ndo_get_stats64 if available, and to return a pointer to struct rtnl_link_stats64. Change callers of dev_get_stats() accordingly.
