2018-06-15l2tp: reject creation of non-PPP sessions on L2TPv2 tunnelsGuillaume Nault1-0/+6
The /proc/net/pppol2tp handlers (pppol2tp_seq_*()) iterate over all L2TPv2 tunnels, and rightfully expect that only PPP sessions can be found there. However, l2tp_netlink accepts creating Ethernet sessions regardless of the underlying tunnel version. This confuses pppol2tp_seq_session_show(), which expects that l2tp_session_priv() returns a pppol2tp_session structure. When the session is an Ethernet pseudo-wire, a struct l2tp_eth_sess is returned instead. This leads to invalid memory access when pppol2tp_session_get_sock() later tries to dereference ps->sk.

2018-04-13l2tp: hold reference on tunnels in netlink dumpsGuillaume Nault1-3/+8
l2tp_tunnel_find_nth() is unsafe: no reference is held on the returned tunnel, therefore it can be freed whenever the caller uses it. This patch defines l2tp_tunnel_get_nth() which works similarly, but also takes a reference on the returned tunnel. The caller then has to drop it after it stops using the tunnel. Convert netlink dumps to make them safe against concurrent tunnel deletion.

2018-04-11l2tp: fix race in duplicate tunnel detectionGuillaume Nault1-6/+0
We can't use l2tp_tunnel_find() to prevent l2tp_nl_cmd_tunnel_create() from creating a duplicate tunnel. A tunnel can be concurrently registered after l2tp_tunnel_find() returns. Therefore, searching for duplicates must be done at registration time. Finally, remove l2tp_tunnel_find() entirely as it isn't use anywhere anymore.

2018-04-11l2tp: fix races in tunnel creationGuillaume Nault1-3/+13
l2tp_tunnel_create() inserts the new tunnel into the namespace's tunnel list and sets the socket's ->sk_user_data field, before returning it to the caller. Therefore, there are two ways the tunnel can be accessed and freed, before the caller even had the opportunity to take a reference. In practice, syzbot could crash the module by closing the socket right after a new tunnel was returned to pppol2tp_create(). This patch moves tunnel registration out of l2tp_tunnel_create(), so that the caller can safely hold a reference before publishing the tunnel. This second step is done with the new l2tp_tunnel_register() function, which is now responsible for associating the tunnel to its socket and for inserting it into the namespace's list. While moving the code to l2tp_tunnel_register(), a few modifications have been done. First, the socket validation tests are done in a helper function, for clarity. Also, modifying the socket is now done after having inserted the tunnel to the namespace's tunnels list. This will allow insertion to fail, without having to revert theses modifications in the error path (a followup patch will check for duplicate tunnels before insertion). Either the socket is a kernel socket which we control, or it is a user-space socket for which we have a reference on the file descriptor. In any case, the socket isn't going to be closed from under us.

2018-01-05l2tp: remove configurable payload offsetJames Chapman1-3/+0
If L2TP_ATTR_OFFSET is set to a non-zero value in L2TPv3 tunnels, it results in L2TPv3 packets being transmitted which might not be compliant with the L2TPv3 RFC. This patch has l2tp ignore the offset setting and send all packets with no offset. In more detail: L2TPv2 supports a variable offset from the L2TPv2 header to the payload. The offset value is indicated by an optional field in the L2TP header. Our L2TP implementation already detects the presence of the optional offset and skips that many bytes when handling data received packets. All transmitted packets are always transmitted with no offset. L2TPv3 has no optional offset field in the L2TPv3 packet header. Instead, L2TPv3 defines optional fields in a "Layer-2 Specific Sublayer". At the time when the original L2TP code was written, there was talk at IETF of offset being implemented in a new Layer-2 Specific Sublayer. A L2TP_ATTR_OFFSET netlink attribute was added so that this offset could be configured and the intention was to allow it to be also used to set the tx offset for L2TPv2. However, no L2TPv3 offset was ever specified and the L2TP_ATTR_OFFSET parameter was forgotten about. Setting L2TP_ATTR_OFFSET results in L2TPv3 packets being transmitted with the specified number of bytes padding between L2TPv3 header and payload. This is not compliant with L2TPv3 RFC3931. This change removes the configurable offset altogether while retaining L2TP_ATTR_OFFSET for backwards compatibility. Any L2TP_ATTR_OFFSET value is ignored.

2017-09-03l2tp: pass tunnel pointer to ->session_create()Guillaume Nault1-4/+4
Using l2tp_tunnel_find() in pppol2tp_session_create() and l2tp_eth_create() is racy, because no reference is held on the returned session. These functions are only used to implement the ->session_create callback which is run by l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create(). Therefore searching for the parent tunnel isn't necessary because l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create() already has a pointer to it and holds a reference. This patch modifies ->session_create()'s prototype to directly pass the the parent tunnel as parameter, thus avoiding searching for it in pppol2tp_session_create() and l2tp_eth_create(). Since we have to touch the ->session_create() call in l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create(), let's also remove the useless conditional: we know that ->session_create isn't NULL at this point because it's already been checked earlier in this same function. Finally, one might be tempted to think that the removed l2tp_tunnel_find() calls were harmless because they would return the same tunnel as the one held by l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create() anyway. But that tunnel might be removed and a new one created with same tunnel Id before the l2tp_tunnel_find() call. In this case l2tp_tunnel_find() would return the new tunnel which wouldn't be protected by the reference held by l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create().

2017-08-28l2tp: hold tunnel while looking up sessions in l2tp_netlinkGuillaume Nault1-2/+4
l2tp_tunnel_find() doesn't take a reference on the returned tunnel. Therefore, it's unsafe to use it because the returned tunnel can go away on us anytime. Fix this by defining l2tp_tunnel_get(), which works like l2tp_tunnel_find(), but takes a reference on the returned tunnel. Caller then has to drop this reference using l2tp_tunnel_dec_refcount(). As l2tp_tunnel_dec_refcount() needs to be moved to l2tp_core.h, let's simplify the patch and not move the L2TP_REFCNT_DEBUG part. This code has been broken (not even compiling) in May 2012 by commit a4ca44fa578c ("net: l2tp: Standardize logging styles") and fixed more than two years later by commit 29abe2fda54f ("l2tp: fix missing line continuation"). So it doesn't appear to be used by anyone. Same thing for l2tp_tunnel_free(); instead of moving it to l2tp_core.h, let's just simplify things and call kfree_rcu() directly in l2tp_tunnel_dec_refcount(). Extra assertions and debugging code provided by l2tp_tunnel_free() didn't help catching any of the reference counting and socket handling issues found while working on this series.

2017-04-11l2tp: remove useless duplicate session detection in l2tp_netlinkGuillaume Nault1-5/+0
There's no point in checking for duplicate sessions at the beginning of l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create(); the ->session_create() callbacks already return -EEXIST when the session already exists. Furthermore, even if l2tp_session_find() returns NULL, a new session might be created right after the test. So relying on ->session_create() to avoid duplicate session is the only sane behaviour.

2017-04-04l2tp: take reference on sessions being dumpedGuillaume Nault1-2/+5
Take a reference on the sessions returned by l2tp_session_find_nth() (and rename it l2tp_session_get_nth() to reflect this change), so that caller is assured that the session isn't going to disappear while processing it. For procfs and debugfs handlers, the session is held in the .start() callback and dropped in .show(). Given that pppol2tp_seq_session_show() dereferences the associated PPPoL2TP socket and that l2tp_dfs_seq_session_show() might call pppol2tp_show(), we also need to call the session's .ref() callback to prevent the socket from going away from under us.

2017-04-01l2tp: take a reference on sessions used in genetlink handlersGuillaume Nault1-13/+26
Callers of l2tp_nl_session_find() need to hold a reference on the returned session since there's no guarantee that it isn't going to disappear from under them. Relying on the fact that no l2tp netlink message may be processed concurrently isn't enough: sessions can be deleted by other means (e.g. by closing the PPPOL2TP socket of a ppp pseudowire). l2tp_nl_cmd_session_delete() is a bit special: it runs a callback function that may require a previous call to session->ref(). In particular, for ppp pseudowires, the callback is l2tp_session_delete(), which then calls pppol2tp_session_close() and dereferences the PPPOL2TP socket. The socket might already be gone at the moment l2tp_session_delete() calls session->ref(), so we need to take a reference during the session lookup. So we need to pass the do_ref variable down to l2tp_session_get() and l2tp_session_get_by_ifname(). Since all callers have to be updated, l2tp_session_find_by_ifname() and l2tp_nl_session_find() are renamed to reflect their new behaviour.

Static family IDs have never really been used, the only use case was the workaround I introduced for those users that assumed their family ID was also their multicast group ID. Additionally, because static family IDs would never be reserved by the generic netlink code, using a relatively low ID would only work for built-in families that can be registered immediately after generic netlink is started, which is basically only the control family (apart from the workaround code, which I also had to add code for so it would reserve those IDs) Thus, anything other than GENL_ID_GENERATE is flawed and luckily not used except in the cases I mentioned.

2015-01-18netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() voidJohannes Berg1-4/+6
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.

Previously l2tp module did not provide any means for the user space to get notified when tunnels/sessions are added/modified/deleted. This change contains the following - create a multicast group for the listeners to register. - notify the registered listeners when the tunnels/sessions are created/modified/deleted.

2014-05-23l2tp: Add support for zero IPv6 checksumsTom Herbert1-0/+7
Added new L2TP configuration options to allow TX and RX of zero checksums in IPv6. Default is not to use them. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-05-23net: Split sk_no_check into sk_no_check_{rx,tx}Tom Herbert1-2/+1
Define separate fields in the sock structure for configuring disabling checksums in both TX and RX-- sk_no_check_tx and sk_no_check_rx. The SO_NO_CHECK socket option only affects sk_no_check_tx. Also, removed UDP_CSUM_* defines since they are no longer necessary. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-03-06l2tp: fix manual sequencing (de)activation in L2TPv2Guillaume Nault1-1/+3
Commit e0d4435f "l2tp: Update PPP-over-L2TP driver to work over L2TPv3" broke the PPPOL2TP_SO_SENDSEQ setsockopt. The L2TP header length was previously computed by pppol2tp_l2t_header_len() before each call to l2tp_xmit_skb(). Now that header length is retrieved from the hdr_len session field, this field must be updated every time the L2TP header format is modified, or l2tp_xmit_skb() won't push the right amount of data for the L2TP header. This patch uses l2tp_session_set_header_len() to adjust hdr_len every time sequencing is (de)activated from userspace (either by the PPPOL2TP_SO_SENDSEQ setsockopt or the L2TP_ATTR_SEND_SEQ netlink attribute).

2013-11-19genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops()Johannes Berg1-6/+1
As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops() a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the macro, this is a little safer. The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

2013-10-09ipv6: make lookups simpler and fasterEric Dumazet1-2/+2
TCP listener refactoring, part 4 : To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct sock_common Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV. Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall). inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6 This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4, we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6, it's not doable easily. inet6_sk(sk)->daddr becomes sk->sk_v6_daddr inet6_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr becomes sk->sk_v6_rcv_saddr And timewait socket also have tw->tw_v6_daddr & tw->tw_v6_rcv_saddr at the same offset. We get rid of INET6_TW_MATCH() as INET6_MATCH() is now the generic macro. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-03-20l2tp: avoid deadlock in l2tp stats updateTom Parkin1-44/+28
l2tp's u64_stats writers were incorrectly synchronised, making it possible to deadlock a 64bit machine running a 32bit kernel simply by sending the l2tp code netlink commands while passing data through l2tp sessions. Previous discussion on netdev determined that alternative solutions such as spinlock writer synchronisation or per-cpu data would bring unjustified overhead, given that most users interested in high volume traffic will likely be running 64bit kernels on 64bit hardware. As such, this patch replaces l2tp's use of u64_stats with atomic_long_t, thereby avoiding the deadlock.
