Commit 053c095a82cf ("netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void") didn't catch all of the cases where callers were breaking out on the return value being equal to zero, which they no longer should when zero means success.

2015-01-18netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() voidJohannes Berg1-3/+5
Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb. This makes the very common pattern of if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... } be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do return nlmsg_end(...); and the caller is expected to deal with it. This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very common to write if (my_function(...)) /* error condition */ and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong. Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there. Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did - return nlmsg_end(...); + nlmsg_end(...); + return 0; I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more efficient version. One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time. I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

Workqueue used in ipv4 layer have no real dependency of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them.

Help of this function says: "in_dev: only on this interface, 0=any interface", but since commit 39a6d0630012 ("[NETNS]: Process inet_confirm_addr in the correct namespace."), the code supposes that it will never be NULL. This function is never called with in_dev == NULL, but it's exported and may be used by an external module.

2013-12-09neigh: restore old behaviour of default parms valuesJiri Pirko1-0/+2
Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added. Therefore the default neigh parms values they get are the ones at the time of these operations. Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the behaviour of default neigh parms values in an incompatible way (see bug #8519). This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly set by the user since the inet device's creation.

2013-08-09net: igmp: Allow user-space configuration of igmp unsolicited report intervalWilliam Manley1-0/+8
Adds the new procfs knobs: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/igmpv2_unsolicited_report_interval /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/igmpv3_unsolicited_report_interval Which will allow userspace configuration of the IGMP unsolicited report interval (see below) in milliseconds. The defaults are 10000ms for IGMPv2 and 1000ms for IGMPv3 in accordance with RFC2236 and RFC3376. Background: If an IGMP join packet is lost you will not receive data sent to the multicast group so if no data arrives from that multicast group in a period of time after the IGMP join a second IGMP join will be sent. The delay between joins is the "IGMP Unsolicited Report Interval". Prior to this patch this value was hard coded in the kernel to 10s for IGMPv2 and 1s for IGMPv3. 10s is unsuitable for some use-cases, such as IPTV as it can cause channel change to be slow in the presence of packet loss. This patch allows the value to be overridden from userspace for both IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 such that it can be tuned accoding to the network. Tested with Wireshark and a simple program to join a (non-existent) multicast group. The distribution of timings for the second join differ based upon setting the procfs knobs. igmpvX_unsolicited_report_interval is intended to follow the pattern established by force_igmp_version, and while a procfs entry has been added a corresponding sysctl knob has not as it is my understanding that sysctl is deprecated[1].

As a side effect this caused the routing cache to be flushed as it was declared as a DEVINET_SYSCTL_FLUSHING_ENTRY. Flushing is unnecessary and this patch makes it so flushing does not occur.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin1-7/+3
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.

2013-01-29ipv4: introduce address lifetimeJiri Pirko1-5/+210
There are some usecase when lifetime of ipv4 addresses might be helpful. For example: 1) initramfs networkmanager uses a DHCP daemon to learn network configuration parameters 2) initramfs networkmanager addresses, routes and DNS configuration 3) initramfs networkmanager is requested to stop 4) initramfs networkmanager stops all daemons including dhclient 5) there are addresses and routes configured but no daemon running. If the system doesn't start networkmanager for some reason, addresses and routes will be used forever, which violates RFC 2131. This patch is essentially a backport of ivp6 address lifetime mechanism for ipv4 addresses. Current "ip" tool supports this without any patch (since it does not distinguish between ipv4 and ipv6 addresses in this perspective. Also, this should be back-compatible with all current netlink users. Reported-by: Pavel Šimerda <psimerda@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-11-18net: Allow userns root to control ipv4Eric W. Biederman1-2/+2
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. Settings that merely control a single network device are allowed. Either the network device is a logical network device where restrictions make no difference or the network device is hardware NIC that has been explicity moved from the initial network namespace. In general policy and network stack state changes are allowed while resource control is left unchanged. Allow creating raw sockets. Allow the SIOCSARP ioctl to control the arp cache. Allow the SIOCSIFFLAG ioctl to allow setting network device flags. Allow the SIOCSIFADDR ioctl to allow setting a netdevice ipv4 address. Allow the SIOCSIFBRDADDR ioctl to allow setting a netdevice ipv4 broadcast address. Allow the SIOCSIFDSTADDR ioctl to allow setting a netdevice ipv4 destination address. Allow the SIOCSIFNETMASK ioctl to allow setting a netdevice ipv4 netmask. Allow the SIOCADDRT and SIOCDELRT ioctls to allow adding and deleting ipv4 routes. Allow the SIOCADDTUNNEL, SIOCCHGTUNNEL and SIOCDELTUNNEL ioctls for adding, changing and deleting gre tunnels. Allow the SIOCADDTUNNEL, SIOCCHGTUNNEL and SIOCDELTUNNEL ioctls for adding, changing and deleting ipip tunnels. Allow the SIOCADDTUNNEL, SIOCCHGTUNNEL and SIOCDELTUNNEL ioctls for adding, changing and deleting ipsec virtual tunnel interfaces. Allow setting the MRT_INIT, MRT_DONE, MRT_ADD_VIF, MRT_DEL_VIF, MRT_ADD_MFC, MRT_DEL_MFC, MRT_ASSERT, MRT_PIM, MRT_TABLE socket options on multicast routing sockets. Allow setting and receiving IPOPT_CIPSO, IP_OPT_SEC, IP_OPT_SID and arbitrary ip options. Allow setting IP_SEC_POLICY/IP_XFRM_POLICY ipv4 socket option. Allow setting the IP_TRANSPARENT ipv4 socket option. Allow setting the TCP_REPAIR socket option. Allow setting the TCP_CONGESTION socket option. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

- In rtnetlink_rcv_msg convert the capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) check to ns_capable(net->user-ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN). Allowing unprivileged users to make netlink calls to modify their local network namespace. - In the rtnetlink doit methods add capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) so that calls that are not safe for unprivileged users are still protected.

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.
