Fix finer-grained control and let only a whitelist of allowed netlink
protocols pass, in our case related to networking. If later on, other
subsystems decide they want to add their protocol as well to the list
of allowed protocols they shall simply add it. While at it, we also

Since (c05cdb1 netlink: allow large data transfers from user-space),
netlink splats if it invokes skb_clone on large netlink skbs since:
* skb_shared_info was not correctly initialized.
* skb->destructor is not set in the cloned skb.
This was spotted by trinity:
[ 894.990671] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc9000047b001

Fix it by:
1) introducing a new netlink_skb_clone function that is used in nl_fib_input,
that sets our special skb->destructor in the cloned skb. Moreover, handle
the release of the large cloned skb head area in the destructor path.
2) not allowing large skbuffs in the netlink broadcast path. I cannot find
any reasonable use of the large data transfer using netlink in that path,
moreover this helps to skip extra skb_clone handling.
I found two more netlink clients that are cloning the skbs, but they are
not in the sendmsg path. Therefore, the sole client cloning that I found
seems to be the fib frontend.

Similarly to the networking receive path with ptype_all taps, we add
the possibility to register netdevices that are for ARPHRD_NETLINK to
the netlink subsystem, so that those can be used for netlink analyzers
resp. debuggers. We do not offer a direct callback function as out-of-tree

The ath9k Kconfig conflict was a change of a Kconfig option name right
next to the deletion of another option.
The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the
handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action().
Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically
keep everything in both conflict hunks.
The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a
dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that
Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted
to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine
whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation.
However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have
to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the
conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the
RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should
be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes.
To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try
to allocate 'tb'.

As we know, netlink sockets are private resource of
net namespace, they can communicate with each other
only when they in the same net namespace. this works
well until we try to add namespace support for other
subsystems which use netlink.
Don't like ipv4 and route table.., it is not suited to
make these subsytems belong to net namespace, Such as
audit and crypto subsystems,they are more suitable to
user namespace.
So we must have the ability to make the netlink sockets
in same user namespace can communicate with each other.
This patch adds a new function pointer "compare" for
netlink_table, we can decide if the netlink sockets can
communicate with each other through this netlink_table
self-defined compare function.
The behavior isn't changed if we don't provide the compare
function for netlink_table.

I can hit ENOBUFS in the sendmsg() path with a large batch that is
composed of many netlink messages. Here that limit is 8 MBytes of
skbuff data area as kmalloc does not manage to get more than that.
While discussing atomic rule-set for nftables with Patrick McHardy,
we decided to put all rule-set updates that need to be applied
atomically in one single batch to simplify the existing approach.
However, as explained above, the existing netlink code limits us
to a maximum of ~20000 rules that fit in one single batch without
hitting ENOBUFS. iptables does not have such limitation as it is
using vmalloc.
This patch adds netlink_alloc_large_skb() which is only used in
the netlink_sendmsg() path. It uses alloc_skb if the memory
requested is <= one memory page, that should be the common case
for most subsystems, else vmalloc for higher memory allocations.

Eric Dumazet spotted that we have to check skb->head instead
of skb->data as skb->head points to the beginning of the
data area of the skbuff. Similarly, we have to initialize the
skb->head pointer, not skb->data in __alloc_skb_head.
After this fix, netlink crashes in the release path of the
sk_buff, so let's fix that as well.
This bug was introduced in (0ebd0ac net: add function to
allocate sk_buff head without data area).

Add support for mmap'ed recvmsg(). To allow the kernel to construct messages
into the mapped area, a dataless skb is allocated and the data pointer is
set to point into the ring frame. This means frames will be delivered to
userspace in order of allocation instead of order of transmission. This
usually doesn't matter since the order is either not determinable by
userspace or message creation/transmission is serialized. The only case
where this can have a visible difference is nfnetlink_queue. Userspace
can't assume mmap'ed messages have ordered IDs anymore and needs to check
this if using batched verdicts.

For mmap'ed I/O a netlink specific skb destructor needs to be invoked
after the final kfree_skb() to clean up state. This doesn't work currently
since the skb's ownership is transfered to the receiving socket using
skb_set_owner_r(), which orphans the skb, thereby invoking the destructor
prematurely.
Since netlink doesn't account skbs to the originating socket, there's no
need to orphan the skb. Add a netlink specific skb_set_owner_r() variant
that does not orphan the skb and use a netlink specific destructor to
call sock_rfree().

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

a) Socket credentials. If UID != 0, then the message comes from
some ilegitimate process and the message needs to be dropped.
b) Netlink portID. In general, portID == 0 means that the origin
of the messages comes from the kernel. Thus, discarding any
message not coming from the kernel.
However, ctnetlink sets the portID in event messages that has
been triggered by some user-space process, eg. conntrack utility.
So other processes subscribed to ctnetlink events, eg. conntrackd,
know that the event was triggered by some user-space action.
Neither of the two ways to discard ilegitimate messages coming
from non-root processes can help for ctnetlink.
This patch adds capability validation in case that dst_pid is set
in netlink_sendmsg(). This approach is aggressive since existing
applications using any Netlink bus to deliver messages between
two user-space processes will break. Note that the exception is
NETLINK_USERSOCK, since it is reserved for netlink-to-netlink
userspace communication.
Still, if anyone wants that his Netlink bus allows netlink-to-netlink
userspace, then they can set NL_NONROOT_SEND. However, by default,
I don't think it makes sense to allow to use NETLINK_ROUTE to
communicate two processes that are sending no matter what information
that is not related to link/neighbouring/routing. They should be using
NETLINK_USERSOCK instead for that.

Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that avahi and
potentially NetworkManager accept spoofed Netlink messages because of a
kernel bug. The kernel passes all-zero SCM_CREDENTIALS ancillary data
to the receiver if the sender did not provide such data, instead of not
including any such data at all or including the correct data from the
peer (as it is the case with AF_UNIX).
This bug was introduced in commit 16e5726269
(af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default)
This patch forces passing credentials for netlink, as
before the regression.
Another fix would be to not add SCM_CREDENTIALS in
netlink messages if not provided by the sender, but it
might break some programs.

The sending socket of an skb is already available by it's port id
in the NETLINK_CB. If you want to know more like to examine the
credentials on the sending socket you have to look up the sending
socket by it's port id and all of the needed functions and data
structures are static inside of af_netlink.c. So do the simple
thing and pass the sending socket to the receivers in the NETLINK_CB.
I intend to use this to get the user namespace of the sending socket
in inet_diag so that I can report uids in the context of the process
who opened the socket, the same way I report uids in the contect
of the process who opens files.

This patch adds the following structure:

unsigned int groups;
void (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb);
struct mutex *cb_mutex;
};
That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations
for netlink kernel sockets.
I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the
existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still
left in the original interface.
That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows
easy extensibility of this interface in the future.
This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

Consider the following situation:
* a dump that would show 8 entries, four in the first
round, and four in the second
* between the first and second rounds, 6 entries are
removed
* now the second round will not show any entry, and
even if there is a sequence/generation counter the
application will not know
To solve this problem, add a new flag NLM_F_DUMP_INTR
to the netlink header that indicates the dump wasn't
consistent, this flag can also be set on the MSG_DONE
message that terminates the dump, and as such above
situation can be detected.
To achieve this, add a sequence counter to the netlink
callback struct. Of course, netlink code still needs
to use this new functionality. The correct way to do
that is to always set cb->seq when a dumpit callback
is invoked and call nl_dump_check_consistent() for
each new message. The core code will also call this
function for the final MSG_DONE message.
To make it usable with generic netlink, a new function
genlmsg_nlhdr() is needed to obtain the netlink header
from the genetlink user header.

The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an
easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.
If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
(intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
(currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
"(nil)".
The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm
tree. This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK. Cases of printing
pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful
information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is
already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.

netlink_dump() may failed, but nobody handle its error.
It generates output data, when a previous portion has been returned to
user space. This mechanism works when all data isn't go in skb. If we
enter in netlink_recvmsg() and skb is absent in the recv queue, the
netlink_dump() will not been executed. So if netlink_dump() is failed
one time, the new data never appear and the reader will sleep forever.
netlink_dump() is called from two places:
1. from netlink_sendmsg->...->netlink_dump_start().
In this place we can report error directly and it will be returned
by sendmsg().
2. from netlink_recvmsg
There we can't report error directly, because we have a portion of
valid output data and call netlink_dump() for prepare the next portion.
If netlink_dump() is failed, the socket will be mark as error and the
next recvmsg will be failed.

commit 6c04bb18dd (netlink: use call_rcu for netlink_change_ngroups)

The old block of memory is freed after a grace period, but the rcu_head
used to track it is located in new block.
This can clash if we call two times or more netlink_change_ngroups(),
and a block is freed before another. call_rcu() called on different cpus
makes no guarantee in order of callbacks.
Fix this using a more standard way of handling this : Each block of

net/compat/wext: send different messages to compat tasks
we had a race condition when setting and then
restoring frag_list. Eric attempted to fix it,
but the fix created even worse problems.
However, the original motivation I had when I
added the code that turned out to be racy is
no longer clear to me, since we only copy up
to skb->len to userspace, which doesn't include
the frag_list length. As a result, not doing
any frag_list clearing and restoring avoids
the race condition, while not introducing any
other problems.
Additionally, while preparing this patch I found
that since none of the remaining netlink code is
really aware of the frag_list, we need to use the
original skb's information for packet information
and credentials. This fixes, for example, the
group information received by compat tasks.

Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical
pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount
of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage
should instead be used as a basis here.
Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory)
should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

Wireless extensions have the unfortunate problem that events
are multicast netlink messages, and are not independent of
pointer size. Thus, currently 32-bit tasks on 64-bit platforms
cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of
strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices
disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a
32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is
lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00.
The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller
fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort.
A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the
ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a
32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its
internal information, which is worse than it not getting the
information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a
custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a
severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern
access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this
patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event.
A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink
users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for
64-bit quantities.
In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to
send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send
the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in
skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read
from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only
the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was
suggested by David Miller, my original approach required
always sending two skbs but that had various small problems.
To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and
recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg
parameter.
I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't
think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read()
rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong
(64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do
this, nor would it be a regression.

This patch adds the NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flag. This flag can
be used by unicast and broadcast listeners to avoid receiving
ENOBUFS errors.
Generally speaking, ENOBUFS errors are useful to notify two things
to the listener:
a) You may increase the receiver buffer size via setsockopt().
b) You have lost messages, you may be out of sync.
In some cases, ignoring ENOBUFS errors can be useful. For example:
a) nfnetlink_queue: this subsystem does not have any sort of resync
method and you can decide to ignore ENOBUFS once you have set a
given buffer size.
b) ctnetlink: you can use this together with the socket flag
NETLINK_BROADCAST_SEND_ERROR to stop getting ENOBUFS errors as
you do not need to resync (packets whose event are not delivered
are drop to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization).
Moreover, the use of NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS also reduces a "go up, go down"
effect in terms of performance which is due to the netlink congestion
control when the listener cannot back off. The effect is the following:
1) throughput rate goes up and netlink messages are inserted in the
receiver buffer.
2) Then, netlink buffer fills and overruns (set on nlk->state bit 0).
3) While the listener empties the receiver buffer, netlink keeps
dropping messages. Thus, throughput goes dramatically down.
4) Then, once the listener has emptied the buffer (nlk->state
bit 0 is set off), goto step 1.
This effect is easy to trigger with netlink broadcast under heavy
load, and it is more noticeable when using a big receiver buffer.
You can find some results in [1] that show this problem.
[1] http://1984.lsi.us.es/linux/netlink/
This patch also includes the use of sk_drop to account the number of
netlink messages drop due to overrun. This value is shown in

The callers of netlink_set_err() currently pass a negative value
as parameter for the error code. However, sk->sk_err wants a
positive error value. Without this patch, skb_recv_datagram() called
by netlink_recvmsg() may return a positive value to report an error.
Another choice to fix this is to change callers to pass a positive
error value, but this seems a bit inconsistent and error prone
to me. Indeed, the callers of netlink_set_err() assumed that the
(usual) negative value for error codes was fine before this patch :).
This patch also includes some documentation in docbook format
for netlink_set_err() to avoid this sort of confusion.

This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:
If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.
This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.
This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

This patch adds NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR which is a netlink
socket option that the listener can set to make netlink_broadcast()
return errors in the delivery to the caller. This option is useful
if the caller of netlink_broadcast() do something with the result
of the message delivery, like in ctnetlink where it drops a network
packet if the event delivery failed, this is used to enable reliable
logging and state-synchronization. If this socket option is not set,
netlink_broadcast() only reports ESRCH errors and silently ignore
ENOBUFS errors, which is what most netlink_broadcast() callers
should do.
This socket option is based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.

Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
messages at all were delivered:
1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
failure, return -ENOBUFS.
3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.
With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
messages to the listeners have failed:
1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
-ENOBUFS.
2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.
In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
conntrackd) in return.
This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
if they hit ENOBUFS.
BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

The comment about "race free view of the set of network
namespaces" was a bit hasty. Look (there even can be only
one CPU, as discovered by Alexey Dobriyan and Denis Lunev):
put_net()
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&net->refcnt))
/* true */
__put_net(net);
queue_work(...);
/*
* note: the net now has refcnt 0, but still in
* the global list of net namespaces
*/
== re-schedule ==
register_pernet_subsys(&some_ops);
register_pernet_operations(&some_ops);
(*some_ops)->init(net);
/*
* we call netlink_kernel_create() here
* in some places
*/
netlink_kernel_create();
sk_alloc();
get_net(net); /* refcnt = 1 */
/*
* now we drop the net refcount not to
* block the net namespace exit in the
* future (or this can be done on the
* error path)
*/
put_net(sk->sk_net);
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&...))
/*
* true. BOOOM! The net is
* scheduled for release twice
*/
When thinking on this problem, I decided, that getting and
putting the net in init callback is wrong. If some init
callback needs to have a refcount-less reference on the struct
net, _it_ has to be careful himself, rather than relying on
the infrastructure to handle this correctly.
In case of netlink_kernel_create(), the problem is that the
sk_alloc() gets the given namespace, but passing the info
that we don't want to get it inside this call is too heavy.
Instead, I propose to crate the socket inside an init_net
namespace and then re-attach it to the desired one right
after the socket is created.
After doing this, we also have to be careful on error paths
not to drop the reference on the namespace, we didn't get
the one on.

only partial as socket to be stoped until proper stop is a valid

is not a problem until it resides in initial namespace (no processes

So marking struct pernet_operations is a disaster for modules in two ways.
- We discard it before we call the exit method it points to.
- Because I keep struct pernet_operations on a linked list discarding
it for compiled in code removes elements in the middle of a linked

This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced
asynchronious user -> kernel communication.
The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.
Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.
This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.
Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.

With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section,
thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before.
Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace
creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns
stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot.
Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls
are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be
merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to
use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes"
for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS
is not set to save more space in memory.
The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section,
as noticed by David, since the init section will have
references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost
checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace
never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I
introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already
done with the __init_refok.

The problem: proc_net files remember which network namespace the are
against but do not remember hold a reference count (as that would pin
the network namespace). So we currently have a small window where
the reference count on a network namespace may be incremented when opening
a /proc file when it has already gone to zero.
To fix this introduce maybe_get_net and get_proc_net.
maybe_get_net increments the network namespace reference count only if it is
greater then zero, ensuring we don't increment a reference count after it
has gone to zero.
get_proc_net handles all of the magic to go from a proc inode to the network
namespace instance and call maybe_get_net on it.
PROC_NET the old accessor is removed so that we don't get confused and use
the wrong helper function.
Then I fix up the callers to use get_proc_net and handle the case case
where get_proc_net returns NULL. In that case I return -ENXIO because
effectively the network namespace has already gone away so the files
we are trying to access don't exist anymore.

Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace,

This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols
to only support the initial network namespace. Request
by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED.
As they would if the kernel did not have the support for
that netlink protocol compiled in.
As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network

to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.
Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.
Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.
Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
ATOMIC CHAINS

BLOCKING CHAINS
---------------

net/core/dev.c netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain
It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

netlink overrun was broken while improvement of netlink.
Destination socket is used in the place where it was meant to be source socket,
so that now overrun is never sent to user netlink sockets, when it should be,
and it even can be set on kernel socket, which results in complete deadlock
of rtnetlink.
Suggested fix is to restore status quo passing source socket as additional
argument to netlink_attachskb().
A little explanation: overrun is set on a socket, when it failed
to receive some message and sender of this messages does not or even
have no way to handle this error. This happens in two cases:
1. when kernel sends something. Kernel never retransmits and cannot
wait for buffer space.
2. when user sends a broadcast and the message was not delivered
to some recipients.

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)
This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.
This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)
I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.
This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.

Introduces netlink_run_queue() to handle the receive queue of
a netlink socket in a generic way. Processes as much as there
was in the queue upon entry and invokes a callback function
for each netlink message found. The callback function may
refuse a message by returning a negative error code but setting
the error pointer to 0 in which case netlink_run_queue() will
return with a qlen != 0.

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change

Use-after-free: the struct proto_ops containing the module pointer
is freed when a socket with pid=0 is released, which besides for kernel
sockets is true for all unbound sockets.
Module refcount leak: when the kernel socket is closed before all user
sockets have been closed the proto_ops struct for this family is
replaced by the generic one and the module refcount can't be dropped.
The second problem can't be solved cleanly using module refcounting in the
generic socket code, so this patch adds explicit refcounting to
netlink_create/netlink_release.

This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen
member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the
'list' member of sk_buff.
Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is
empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty()
which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

1) netlink_release() should only decrement the hash entry
count if the socket was actually hashed.
This was causing hash->entries to underflow, which
resulting in all kinds of troubles.
On 64-bit systems, this would cause the following
conditional to erroneously trigger:
err = -ENOMEM;
if (BITS_PER_LONG > 32 && unlikely(hash->entries >= UINT_MAX))
goto err;
2) netlink_autobind() needs to propagate the error return from
netlink_insert(). Otherwise, callers will not see the error
as they should and thus try to operate on a socket with a zero pid,
which is very bad.
However, it should not propagate -EBUSY. If two threads race
to autobind the socket, that is fine. This is consistent with the
autobind behavior in other protocols.
So bug #1 above, combined with this one, resulted in hangs
on netlink_sendmsg() calls to the rtnetlink socket. We'd try
to do the user sendmsg() with the socket's pid set to zero,
later we do a socket lookup using that pid (via the value we
stashed away in NETLINK_CB(skb).pid), but that won't give us the
user socket, it will give us the rtnetlink socket. So when we
try to wake up the receive queue, we dive back into rtnetlink_rcv()
which tries to recursively take the rtnetlink semaphore.
Thanks to Jakub Jelink for providing backtraces. Also, thanks to
Herbert Xu for supplying debugging patches to help track this down,
and also finding a mistake in an earlier version of this fix.

Introduces a new macro NLMSG_NEW which extends NLMSG_PUT but takes
a flags argument. NLMSG_PUT stays there for compatibility but now
calls NLMSG_NEW with flags == 0. NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER is renamed to
NLMSG_NEW_ANSWER which now also takes a flags argument.
Also converts the users of NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER to use NLMSG_NEW_ANSWER
and fixes the two direct users of __nlmsg_put to either provide
the flags or use NLMSG_NEW(_ANSWER).

In netlink_broadcast() we're sending shared skb's to netlink listeners
when possible (saves some copying). This is OK, since we hold the only
other reference to the skb.
However, this implies that we must drop our reference on the skb, before
allowing a receiving socket to disappear. Otherwise, the socket buffer
accounting is disrupted.

This bug causes:
assertion (!atomic_read(&sk->sk_rmem_alloc)) failed at net/netlink/af_netlink.c (122)
What's happening is that:
1) The skb is sent to socket 1.
2) Someone does a recvmsg on socket 1 and drops the ref on the skb.
Note that the rmalloc is not returned at this point since the
skb is still referenced.
3) The same skb is now sent to socket 2.
This version of the fix resurrects the skb_orphan call that was moved
out, last time we had 'shared-skb troubles'. It is practically a no-op
in the common case, but still prevents the possible race with recvmsg.

Here is a little optimisation for the cb_lock used by netlink_dump.
While fixing that race earlier, I noticed that the reference count
held by cb_lock is completely useless. The reason is that in order
to obtain the protection of the reference count, you have to take
the cb_lock. But the only way to take the cb_lock is through
dereferencing the socket.
That is, you must already possess a reference count on the socket
before you can take advantage of the reference count held by cb_lock.
As a corollary, we can remve the reference count held by the cb_lock.

A lot of places in there are including major.h for no reason whatsoever.
Removed. And yes, it still builds.
The history of that stuff is often amusing. E.g. for net/core/sock.c
the story looks so, as far as I've been able to reconstruct it: we used
to need major.h in net/socket.c circa 1.1.early. In 1.1.13 that need
had disappeared, along with register_chrdev(SOCKET_MAJOR, "socket",
&net_fops) in sock_init(). Include had not. When 1.2 -> 1.3 reorg of
net/* had moved a lot of stuff from net/socket.c to net/core/sock.c,
this crap had followed...

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
