2009-09-30net: Make setsockopt() optlen be unsigned.David S. Miller1-2/+2
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. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-10-08netfilter: enable netfilter in netnsAlexey Dobriyan1-3/+0
From kernel perspective, allow entrance in nf_hook_slow(). Stuff which uses nf_register_hook/nf_register_hooks, but otherwise not netns-ready: DECnet netfilter ipt_CLUSTERIP nf_nat_standalone.c together with XFRM (?) IPVS several individual match modules (like hashlimit) ctnetlink NOTRACK all sorts of queueing and reporting to userspace L3 and L4 protocol sysctls, bridge sysctls probably something else Anyway critical mass has been achieved, there is no reason to hide netfilter any longer. From userspace perspective, allow to manipulate all sorts of iptables/ip6tables/arptables rules. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2008-07-19netns: Use net_eq() to compare net-namespaces for optimization.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki1-1/+1
Without CONFIG_NET_NS, namespace is always &init_net. Compiler will be able to omit namespace comparisons with this patch. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-03-26[NET] NETNS: Omit sock->sk_net without CONFIG_NET_NS.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki1-1/+1
Introduce per-sock inlines: sock_net(), sock_net_set() and per-inet_timewait_sock inlines: twsk_net(), twsk_net_set(). Without CONFIG_NET_NS, no namespace other than &init_net exists. Let's explicitly define them to help compiler optimizations. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org>
2007-11-15[NETFILTER]: fix compat_nf_sockopt typoPatrick McHardy1-3/+3
It should pass opt to the ->get/->set functions, not ops. Tested-by: Luca Tettamanti <kronos.it@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-11-13[NETFILTER]: Consolidate nf_sockopt and compat_nf_sockoptPavel Emelyanov1-62/+44
Both lookup the nf_sockopt_ops object to call the get/set callbacks from, but they perform it in a completely similar way. Introduce the helper for finding the ops.

2007-11-07[NETFILTER]: nf_sockopts list head cleanupAlexey Dobriyan1-9/+4
Code is using knowledge that nf_sockopt_ops::list list_head is first field in structure by using casts. Switch to list_for_each_entry() itetators while I am at it.

2007-09-11[NETFILTER]: Fix/improve deadlock condition on module removal netfilterNeil Horman1-25/+11
So I've had a deadlock reported to me. I've found that the sequence of events goes like this: 1) process A (modprobe) runs to remove ip_tables.ko 2) process B (iptables-restore) runs and calls setsockopt on a netfilter socket, increasing the ip_tables socket_ops use count 3) process A acquires a file lock on the file ip_tables.ko, calls remove_module in the kernel, which in turn executes the ip_tables module cleanup routine, which calls nf_unregister_sockopt 4) nf_unregister_sockopt, seeing that the use count is non-zero, puts the calling process into uninterruptible sleep, expecting the process using the socket option code to wake it up when it exits the kernel 4) the user of the socket option code (process B) in do_ipt_get_ctl, calls ipt_find_table_lock, which in this case calls request_module to load ip_tables_nat.ko 5) request_module forks a copy of modprobe (process C) to load the module and blocks until modprobe exits. 6) Process C. forked by request_module process the dependencies of ip_tables_nat.ko, of which ip_tables.ko is one. 7) Process C attempts to lock the request module and all its dependencies, it blocks when it attempts to lock ip_tables.ko (which was previously locked in step 3) Theres not really any great permanent solution to this that I can see, but I've developed a two part solution that corrects the problem Part 1) Modifies the nf_sockopt registration code so that, instead of using a use counter internal to the nf_sockopt_ops structure, we instead use a pointer to the registering modules owner to do module reference counting when nf_sockopt calls a modules set/get routine. This prevents the deadlock by preventing set 4 from happening. Part 2) Enhances the modprobe utilty so that by default it preforms non-blocking remove operations (the same way rmmod does), and add an option to explicity request blocking operation. So if you select blocking operation in modprobe you can still cause the above deadlock, but only if you explicity try (and since root can do any old stupid thing it would like.... :) ).

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: split net/core/netfilter.c into net/netfilter/*.cHarald Welte1-0/+132
This patch doesn't introduce any code changes, but merely splits the core netfilter code into four separate files. It also moves it from it's old location in net/core/ to the recently-created net/netfilter/ directory. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
