net: tcp: add RTAX_CC_ALGO fib handling

2015-01-06T03:55:24+00:00

This patch adds the minimum necessary for the RTAX_CC_ALGO congestion
control metric to be set up and dumped back to user space.

While the internal representation of RTAX_CC_ALGO is handled as a u32
key, we avoided to expose this implementation detail to user space, thus
instead, we chose the netlink attribute that is being exchanged between
user space to be the actual congestion control algorithm name, similarly
as in the setsockopt(2) API in order to allow for maximum flexibility,
even for 3rd party modules.

It is a bit unfortunate that RTAX_QUICKACK used up a whole RTAX slot as
it should have been stored in RTAX_FEATURES instead, we first thought
about reusing it for the congestion control key, but it brings more
complications and/or confusion than worth it.

Joint work with Florian Westphal.

net: Use netlink_ns_capable to verify the permisions of netlink messages

2014-04-24T17:44:54+00:00

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged
executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket
data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that
privileged executable did not intend to do.

To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls
with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls.
Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the
opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.

rtnetlink: Remove passing of attributes into rtnl_doit functions

2013-03-22T14:31:16+00:00

With decnet converted, we can finally get rid of rta_buf and its
computations around it. It also gets rid of the minimal header
length verification since all message handlers do that explicitly
anyway.

decnet: Parse netlink attributes on our own

2013-03-22T14:31:16+00:00

decnet is the only subsystem left that is relying on the global
netlink attribute buffer rta_buf. It's horrible design and we
want to get rid of it.

This converts all of decnet to do implicit attribute parsing. It
also gets rid of the error prone struct dn_kern_rta.

Yes, the fib_magic() stuff is not pretty.

It's compiled tested but I need someone with appropriate hardware
to test the patch since I don't have access to it.

net: Push capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) into the rtnl methods

2012-11-19T01:32:44+00:00

- In rtnetlink_rcv_msg convert the capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) check
  to ns_capable(net->user-ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN).  Allowing unprivileged
  users to make netlink calls to modify their local network
  namespace.

- In the rtnetlink doit methods add capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) so
  that calls that are not safe for unprivileged users are still
  protected.

Later patches will remove the extra capable calls from methods
that are safe for unprivilged users.

netlink: Get rid of obsolete rtnetlink macros

2012-06-27T22:36:44+00:00

Removes all RTA_GET*() and RTA_PUT*() variations, as well as the
the unused rtattr_strcmp(). Get rid of rtm_get_table() by moving
it to its only user decnet.
