genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse

2013-11-19T21:39:06+00:00

Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with
the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead
of passing the global group ID to the various functions that
send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most
families that's just 0 because the only have one group.

This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new
field for the mcast group ID offset to the family.

At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups
again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now
check that a family only uses a group it owns.

genetlink: pass family to functions using groups

2013-11-19T21:39:06+00:00

This doesn't really change anything, but prepares for the
next patch that will change the APIs to pass the group ID
within the family, rather than the global group ID.

genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops()

2013-11-19T21:39:05+00:00

As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops()
a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the
macro, this is a little safer.

The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in
that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the
family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and
code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

inet: prevent leakage of uninitialized memory to user in recv syscalls

2013-11-18T20:12:03+00:00

Only update *addr_len when we actually fill in sockaddr, otherwise we
can return uninitialized memory from the stack to the caller in the
recvfrom, recvmmsg and recvmsg syscalls. Drop the the (addr_len == NULL)
checks because we only get called with a valid addr_len pointer either
from sock_common_recvmsg or inet_recvmsg.

If a blocking read waits on a socket which is concurrently shut down we
now return zero and set msg_msgnamelen to 0.

6lowpan: Uncompression of traffic class field was incorrect

2013-11-15T08:11:06+00:00

If priority/traffic class field in IPv6 header is set (seen when
using ssh), the uncompression sets the TC and Flow fields incorrectly.

Example:

This is IPv6 header of a sent packet. Note the priority/TC (=1) in
the first byte.

00000000: 61 00 00 00 00 2c 06 40 fe 80 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000010: 02 02 72 ff fe c6 42 10 fe 80 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000020: 02 1e ab ff fe 4c 52 57

This gets compressed like this in the sending side

00000000: 72 31 04 06 02 1e ab ff fe 4c 52 57 ec c2 00 16
00000010: aa 2d fe 92 86 4e be c6 ....

In the receiving end, the packet gets uncompressed to this
IPv6 header

00000000: 60 06 06 02 00 2a 1e 40 fe 80 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000010: 02 02 72 ff fe c6 42 10 fe 80 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000020: ab ff fe 4c 52 57 ec c2

First four bytes are set incorrectly and we have also lost
two bytes from destination address.

The fix is to switch the case values in switch statement
when checking the TC field.

genetlink: make all genl_ops users const

2013-11-14T22:10:41+00:00

Now that genl_ops are no longer modified in place when
registering, they can be made const. This patch was done
mostly with spatch:

@@
identifier ops;
@@
+const
 struct genl_ops ops[] = {
 ...
 };

(except the struct thing in net/openvswitch/datapath.c)

ieee802154: use genl_register_family_with_ops()

2013-11-14T22:10:40+00:00

This simplifies the code since there's no longer a need to
have error handling in the registration.

Unfortunately it means more extern function declarations are
needed, but the overall goal would seem to justify this.

While at it, also fix the registration error path - if the
family registration failed then it shouldn't be unregistered.

6lowpan: cleanup skb copy data

This patch drops the direct memcpy on skb and uses the right skb
memcpy functions. Also remove an unnecessary check if plen is non zero.

6lowpan: set 6lowpan network and transport header

2013-10-30T21:18:46+00:00

This is necessary to access network header with the skb_network_header
function instead of calculate the position with mac_len, etc.
Do the same for the transport header, when we replace the IPv6 header
with the 6LoWPAN header.
