<id>cb787f4ac0c2e439ea8d7e6387b925f74576bdf8</id>
<content type='text'>
no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441
("fs: remove no_llseek")

To quote that commit,

  At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

  git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\&lt;no_llseek\&gt;/d' $i
  done

  would do it.

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done.  Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
	.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

<title>tap: add missing verification for short frame</title>

<id>ed7f2afdd0e043a397677e597ced0830b83ba0b3</id>
<content type='text'>
The cited commit missed to check against the validity of the frame length
in the tap_get_user_xdp() path, which could cause a corrupted skb to be
sent downstack. Even before the skb is transmitted, the
tap_get_user_xdp()--&gt;skb_set_network_header() may assume the size is more
than ETH_HLEN. Once transmitted, this could either cause out-of-bound
access beyond the actual length, or confuse the underlayer with incorrect
or inconsistent header length in the skb metadata.

In the alternative path, tap_get_user() already prohibits short frame which
has the length less than Ethernet header size from being transmitted.

This is to drop any frame shorter than the Ethernet header size just like
how tap_get_user() does.

<title>net: extend ubuf_info callback to ops structure</title>

<id>7ab4f16f9e2440e797eae88812f800458e5879d2</id>
<content type='text'>
We'll need to associate additional callbacks with ubuf_info, introduce
a structure holding ubuf_info callbacks. Apart from a more smarter
io_uring notification management introduced in next patches, it can be
used to generalise msg_zerocopy_put_abort() and also store
-&gt;sg_from_iter, which is currently passed in struct msghdr.

<title>net: tap: change tap_alloc_skb() to allow bigger paged allocations</title>

tap_alloc_skb() is currently calling sock_alloc_send_pskb()
forcing order-0 page allocations.

Switch to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER, to increase max size by 8x.

Also add logic to increase the linear part if needed.

tap_alloc_skb() is currently calling sock_alloc_send_pskb()
forcing order-0 page allocations.

Switch to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER, to increase max size by 8x.

Also add logic to increase the linear part if needed.

<title>net: tap_open(): set sk_uid from current_fsuid()</title>

Commit 66b2c338adce initializes the "sk_uid" field in the protocol socket
(struct sock) from the "/dev/tapX" device node's owner UID. Per original
commit 86741ec25462 ("net: core: Add a UID field to struct sock.",
2016-11-04), that's wrong: the idea is to cache the UID of the userspace
process that creates the socket. Commit 86741ec25462 mentions socket() and
accept(); with "tap", the action that creates the socket is
open("/dev/tapX").

Therefore the device node's owner UID is irrelevant. In most cases,
"/dev/tapX" will be owned by root, so in practice, commit 66b2c338adce has
no observable effect:

- before, "sk_uid" would be zero, due to undefined behavior
  (CVE-2023-1076),

- after, "sk_uid" would be zero, due to "/dev/tapX" being owned by root.

What matters is the (fs)UID of the process performing the open(), so cache
that in "sk_uid".
