udplite: call proper backlog handlers

2016-11-24T20:32:14+00:00

In commits 93821778def10 ("udp: Fix rcv socket locking") and
f7ad74fef3af ("net/ipv6/udp: UDP encapsulation: break backlog_rcv into
__udpv6_queue_rcv_skb") UDP backlog handlers were renamed, but UDPlite
was forgotten.

This leads to crashes if UDPlite header is pulled twice, which happens
starting from commit e6afc8ace6dd ("udp: remove headers from UDP packets
before queueing")

Bug found by syzkaller team, thanks a lot guys !

Note that backlog use in UDP/UDPlite is scheduled to be removed starting
from linux-4.10, so this patch is only needed up to linux-4.9

Fixes: 93821778def1 ("udp: Fix rcv socket locking")
Fixes: f7ad74fef3af ("net/ipv6/udp: UDP encapsulation: break backlog_rcv into __udpv6_queue_rcv_skb")

ipv6: udp: remove udp_v6_clear_sk()

2016-08-24T06:23:50+00:00

Now RCU lookups of ipv6 udp sockets no longer dereference
pinet6 field, we can get rid of udp_v6_clear_sk() helper.

net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg

2015-03-02T18:06:31+00:00

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
networking stack.

net: ipv4/ipv6: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-10-19T23:12:11+00:00

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

ipv6: do not clear pinet6 field

2013-05-11T23:26:38+00:00

We have seen multiple NULL dereferences in __inet6_lookup_established()

After analysis, I found that inet6_sk() could be NULL while the
check for sk_family == AF_INET6 was true.

Bug was added in linux-2.6.29 when RCU lookups were introduced in UDP
and TCP stacks.

Once an IPv6 socket, using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is inserted in a hash
table, we no longer can clear pinet6 field.

This patch extends logic used in commit fcbdf09d9652c891
("net: fix nulls list corruptions in sk_prot_alloc")

TCP/UDP/UDPLite IPv6 protocols provide their own .clear_sk() method
to make sure we do not clear pinet6 field.

At socket clone phase, we do not really care, as cloning the parent (non
NULL) pinet6 is not adding a fatal race.

net: Make setsockopt() optlen be unsigned.

2009-09-30T23:12:20+00:00

This provides safety against negative optlen at the type
level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial)
checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in
each and every implementation.

Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback
from Linus Torvalds.

ipv6: Use correct data types for ICMPv6 type and code

2009-06-23T11:31:07+00:00

Change all the code that deals directly with ICMPv6 type and code
values to use u8 instead of a signed int as that's the actual data
type.

udp: introduce struct udp_table and multiple spinlocks

2008-10-29T08:41:45+00:00

UDP sockets are hashed in a 128 slots hash table.

This hash table is protected by *one* rwlock.

This rwlock is readlocked each time an incoming UDP message is handled.

This rwlock is writelocked each time a socket must be inserted in
hash table (bind time), or deleted from this table (close time)

This is not scalable on SMP machines :

1) Even in read mode, lock() and unlock() are atomic operations and
 must dirty a contended cache line, shared by all cpus.

2) A writer might be starved if many readers are 'in flight'. This can
 happen on a machine with some NIC receiving many UDP messages. User
 process can be delayed a long time at socket creation/dismantle time.

This patch prepares RCU migration, by introducing 'struct udp_table
and struct udp_hslot', and using one spinlock per chain, to reduce
contention on central rwlock.

Introducing one spinlock per chain reduces latencies, for port
randomization on heavily loaded UDP servers. This also speedup
bindings to specific ports.

udp_lib_unhash() was uninlined, becoming to big.

Some cleanups were done to ease review of following patch
(RCUification of UDP Unicast lookups)

[UDP]: Make full use of proto.h.udp_hash innovation.

2008-03-22T23:51:21+00:00

After this we have only udp_lib_get_port to get the port and two 
stubs for ipv4 and ipv6. No difference in udp and udplite except
for initialized h.udp_hash member.

I tried to find a graceful way to drop the only difference between
udp_v4_get_port and udp_v6_get_port (i.e. the rcv_saddr comparison 
routine), but adding one more callback on the struct proto didn't 
appear such :( Maybe later.
