2012-11-18net: Allow userns root to control llc, netfilter, netlink, packet, and xfrmEric W. Biederman
Allow an unpriviled user who has created a user namespace, and then created a network namespace to effectively use the new network namespace, by reducing capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) and capable(CAP_NET_RAW) calls to be ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN), or capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_RAW) calls. Allow creation of af_key sockets. Allow creation of llc sockets. Allow creation of af_packet sockets. Allow sending xfrm netlink control messages. Allow binding to netlink multicast groups. Allow sending to netlink multicast groups. Allow adding and dropping netlink multicast groups. Allow sending to all netlink multicast groups and port ids. Allow reading the netfilter SO_IP_SET socket option. Allow sending netfilter netlink messages. Allow setting and getting ip_vs netfilter socket options. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2012-11-07packet: tx_ring: allow the user to choose tx data offsetPaul Chavent
The tx data offset of packet mmap tx ring used to be : (TPACKET2_HDRLEN - sizeof(struct sockaddr_ll)) The problem is that, with SOCK_RAW socket, the payload (14 bytes after the beginning of the user data) is misaligned. This patch allows to let the user gives an offset for it's tx data if he desires. Set sock option PACKET_TX_HAS_OFF to 1, then specify in each frame of your tx ring tp_net for SOCK_DGRAM, or tp_mac for SOCK_RAW.

This tiny patch removes two unused err assignments.

2012-09-10netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusionEric W. Biederman
It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid. I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to userspace to avoid changing the userspace API. I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2012-08-22packet: Protect packet sk list with mutex (v2)Pavel Emelyanov
Change since v1: * Fixed inuse counters access spotted by Eric In patch eea68e2f (packet: Report socket mclist info via diag module) I've introduced a "scheduling in atomic" problem in packet diag module -- the socket list is traversed under rcu_read_lock() while performed under it sk mclist access requires rtnl lock (i.e. -- mutex) to be taken. [152363.820563] BUG: scheduling while atomic: crtools/12517/0x10000002 [152363.820573] 4 locks held by crtools/12517: [152363.820581] #0: (sock_diag_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81a2dcb5>] sock_diag_rcv+0x1f/0x3e [152363.820613] #1: (sock_diag_table_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81a2de70>] sock_diag_rcv_msg+0xdb/0x11a [152363.820644] #2: (nlk->cb_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81a67d01>] netlink_dump+0x23/0x1ab [152363.820693] #3: (rcu_read_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff81b6a049>] packet_diag_dump+0x0/0x1af Similar thing was then re-introduced by further packet diag patches (fanount mutex and pgvec mutex for rings) :( Apart from being terribly sorry for the above, I propose to change the packet sk list protection from spinlock to mutex. This lock currently protects two modifications: * sklist * prot inuse counters The sklist modifications can be just reprotected with mutex since they already occur in a sleeping context. The inuse counters modifications are trickier -- the __this_cpu_-s are used inside, thus requiring the caller to handle the potential issues with contexts himself. Since packet sockets' counters are modified in two places only (packet_create and packet_release) we only need to protect the context from being preempted. BH disabling is not required in this case.

2012-08-20af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout groupEric Leblond
If a packet is emitted on one socket in one group of fanout sockets, it is transmitted again. It is thus read again on one of the sockets of the fanout group. This result in a loop for software which generate packets when receiving one. This retransmission is not the intended behavior: a fanout group must behave like a single socket. The packet should not be transmitted on a socket if it originates from a socket belonging to the same fanout group. This patch fixes the issue by changing the transmission check to take fanout group info account.

2012-08-12af_packet: remove BUG statement in tpacket_destruct_skbdanborkmann@iogearbox.net
Here's a quote of the comment about the BUG macro from asm-generic/bug.h: Don't use BUG() or BUG_ON() unless there's really no way out; one example might be detecting data structure corruption in the middle of an operation that can't be backed out of. If the (sub)system can somehow continue operating, perhaps with reduced functionality, it's probably not BUG-worthy. If you're tempted to BUG(), think again: is completely giving up really the *only* solution? There are usually better options, where users don't need to reboot ASAP and can mostly shut down cleanly. In our case, the status flag of a ring buffer slot is managed from both sides, the kernel space and the user space. This means that even though the kernel side might work as expected, the user space screws up and changes this flag right between the send(2) is triggered when the flag is changed to TP_STATUS_SENDING and a given skb is destructed after some time. Then, this will hit the BUG macro. As David suggested, the best solution is to simply remove this statement since it cannot be used for kernel side internal consistency checks. I've tested it and the system still behaves /stable/ in this case, so in accordance with the above comment, we should rather remove it.

2011-10-03make PACKET_STATISTICS getsockopt report consistently between ring and non-ringWillem de Bruijn
This is a minor change. Up until kernel 2.6.32, getsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_STATISTICS, ...) would return total and dropped packets since its last invocation. The introduction of socket queue overflow reporting [1] changed drop rate calculation in the normal packet socket path, but not when using a packet ring. As a result, the getsockopt now returns different statistics depending on the reception method used. With a ring, it still returns the count since the last call, as counts are incremented in tpacket_rcv and reset in getsockopt. Without a ring, it returns 0 if no drops occurred since the last getsockopt and the total drops over the lifespan of the socket otherwise. The culprit is this line in packet_rcv, executed on a drop: drop_n_acct: po->stats.tp_drops = atomic_inc_return(&sk->sk_drops); As it shows, the new drop number it taken from the socket drop counter, which is not reset at getsockopt. I put together a small example that demonstrates the issue [2]. It runs for 10 seconds and overflows the queue/ring on every odd second. The reported drop rates are: ring: 16, 0, 16, 0, 16, ... non-ring: 0, 15, 0, 30, 0, 46, 0, 60, 0 , 74. Note how the even ring counts monotonically increase. Because the getsockopt adds tp_drops to tp_packets, total counts are similarly reported cumulatively. Long story short, reinstating the original code, as the below patch does, fixes the issue at the cost of additional per-packet cycles. Another solution that does not introduce per-packet overhead is be to keep the current data path, record the value of sk_drops at getsockopt() at call N in a new field in struct packetsock and subtract that when reporting at call N+1. I'll be happy to code that, instead, it's just more messy.

2011-09-15net: consolidate and fix ethtool_ops->get_settings callingJiri Pirko
This patch does several things: - introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and from drivers as well. Put ASSERT_RTNL there. - dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings() - changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls. - introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create() so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they are from other places. - use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> v2->v3: -removed dev_ethtool_get_settings() -added ASSERT_RTNL into __ethtool_get_settings() -prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo - use __dev_get_by_index() and lock around it and __ethtool_get_settings() call v1->v2: add missing export_symbol Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> [except FCoE bits] Acked-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

All AF_PACKET sockets trying to join the same fanout must all have the same bind settings. Fanouts are identified (within a network namespace) by a 16-bit ID. The first socket to try to add itself to a fanout with a particular ID, creates that fanout.
