Fix TIPC to disallow sending to remote addresses prior to entering NET_MODE

user programs can oops the kernel by sending datagrams via AF_TIPC prior to
entering networked mode.  The following backtrace has been observed:

What happens is that, when the tipc module in inserted it enters a standalone
node mode in which communication to its own address is allowed &lt;0.0.0&gt; but not
to other addresses, since the appropriate data structures have not been
allocated yet (specifically the tipc_net pointer).  There is nothing stopping a
client from trying to send such a message however, and if that happens, we
attempt to dereference tipc_net.zones while the pointer is still NULL, and
explode.  The fix is pretty straightforward.  Since these oopses all arise from
the dereference of global pointers prior to their assignment to allocated
values, and since these allocations are small (about 2k total), lets convert
these pointers to static arrays of the appropriate size.  All the accesses to
these bits consider 0/NULL to be a non match when searching, so all the lookups
still work properly, and there is no longer a chance of a bad dererence
anywhere.  As a bonus, this lets us eliminate the setup/teardown routines for
those pointers, and elimnates the need to preform any locking around them to
prevent access while their being allocated/freed.

I've updated the tipc_net structure to behave this way to fix the exact reported
problem, and also fixed up the tipc_bearers and media_list arrays to fix an
obvious simmilar problem that arises from issuing tipc-config commands to
manipulate bearers/links prior to entering networked mode

I've tested this for a few hours by running the sanity tests and stress test
with the tipcutils suite, and nothing has fallen over.  There have been a few
lockdep warnings, but those were there before, and can be addressed later, as
they didn't actually result in any deadlock.

The generic __sock_create function has a kern argument which allows the
security system to make decisions based on if a socket is being created by
the kernel or by userspace.  This patch passes that flag to the
net_proto_family specific create function, so it can do the same thing.

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.

<title>genetlink: make netns aware</title>

<id>134e63756d5f3d0f7604dfcca847b09d1b14fd66</id>
<content type='text'>
This makes generic netlink network namespace aware. No
generic netlink families except for the controller family
are made namespace aware, they need to be checked one by
one and then set the family-&gt;netnsok member to true.

A new function genlmsg_multicast_netns() is introduced to
allow sending a multicast message in a given namespace,
for example when it applies to an object that lives in
that namespace, a new function genlmsg_multicast_allns()
to send a message to all network namespaces (for objects
that do not have an associated netns).

The function genlmsg_multicast() is changed to multicast
the message in just init_net, which is currently correct
for all generic netlink families since they only work in
init_net right now. Some will later want to work in all
net namespaces because they do not care about the netns
at all -- those will have to be converted to use one of
the new functions genlmsg_multicast_allns() or
genlmsg_multicast_netns() whenever they are made netns
aware in some way.

After this patch families can easily decide whether or
not they should be available in all net namespaces. Many
genl families us it for objects not related to networking
and should therefore be available in all namespaces, but
that will have to be done on a per family basis.

Note that this doesn't touch on the checkpoint/restart
problem where network namespaces could be used, genl
families and multicast groups are numbered globally and
I see no easy way of changing that, especially since it
must be possible to multicast to all network namespaces
for those families that do not care about netns.

This makes generic netlink network namespace aware. No
generic netlink families except for the controller family
are made namespace aware, they need to be checked one by
one and then set the family-&gt;netnsok member to true.

A new function genlmsg_multicast_netns() is introduced to
allow sending a multicast message in a given namespace,
for example when it applies to an object that lives in
that namespace, a new function genlmsg_multicast_allns()
to send a message to all network namespaces (for objects
that do not have an associated netns).

The function genlmsg_multicast() is changed to multicast
the message in just init_net, which is currently correct
for all generic netlink families since they only work in
init_net right now. Some will later want to work in all
net namespaces because they do not care about the netns
at all -- those will have to be converted to use one of
the new functions genlmsg_multicast_allns() or
genlmsg_multicast_netns() whenever they are made netns
aware in some way.

After this patch families can easily decide whether or
not they should be available in all net namespaces. Many
genl families us it for objects not related to networking
and should therefore be available in all namespaces, but
that will have to be done on a per family basis.

Note that this doesn't touch on the checkpoint/restart
problem where network namespaces could be used, genl
families and multicast groups are numbered globally and
I see no easy way of changing that, especially since it
must be possible to multicast to all network namespaces
for those families that do not care about netns.

This patch allows a TIPC application to determine the number of messages
currently waiting in a socket's receive queue (TIPC_SOCK_RECVQ_DEPTH) or
in all TIPC socket receive queues (TIPC_NODE_RECVQ_DEPTH).
