d2ed273d30 net: disallow drivers with buggy VLAN accel to register_netdevice()
Instead of jumping aroung bugs that are easily fixed just don't let them in:
affected drivers should be either fixed or have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER
removed from advertised features.

Quick grep in drivers/net shows two drivers that have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER
but not ndo_vlan_rx_add/kill_vid(), but those are false-positives (features
are commented out).

OTOH two drivers have ndo_vlan_rx_add/kill_vid() implemented but don't
advertise NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER. Those are:

+ethernet/cisco/enic/enic_main.c
+ethernet/qlogic/qlcnic/qlcnic_main.c

604dfd6efc pktgen: correctly handle failures when adding a device
The return value of pktgen_add_device() is not checked, so
even if we fail to add some device, for example, non-exist one,
we still see "OK:...". This patch fixes it.

After this patch, I got:

	# echo "add_device non-exist" > /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
	-bash: echo: write error: No such device
	# cat /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
	Running:
	Stopped:
	Result: ERROR: can not add device non-exist
	# echo "add_device eth0" > /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
	# cat /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
	Running:
	Stopped: eth0
	Result: OK: add_device=eth0

(Candidate for -stable)

08433eff2d net neigh: Optimize neighbor entry size calculation.
When allocating memory for neighbour cache entry, if
tbl->entry_size is not set, we always calculate
sizeof(struct neighbour) + tbl->key_len, which is common
in the same table.

With this change, set tbl->entry_size during the table
initialization phase, if it was not set, and use it in
neigh_alloc() and neighbour_priv().

This change also allow us to have both of protocol private
data and device priate data at tha same time.

Note that the only user of prototcol private is DECnet
and the only user of device private is ATM CLIP.
Since those are exclusive, we have not been facing issues
here.

I found if we write a larger than 4GB value to some sysctl

cef401de7b net: fix possible wrong checksum generation
Pravin Shelar mentioned that GSO could potentially generate
wrong TX checksum if skb has fragments that are overwritten
by the user between the checksum computation and transmit.

He suggested to linearize skbs but this extra copy can be
avoided for normal tcp skbs cooked by tcp_sendmsg().

This patch introduces a new SKB_GSO_SHARED_FRAG flag, set
in skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type if at least one frag can be
modified by the user.

Typical sources of such possible overwrites are {vm}splice(),
sendfile(), and macvtap/tun/virtio_net drivers.

Tested:

$ netperf -H 7.7.8.84
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to
7.7.8.84 () port 0 AF_INET

Performance of the SENDFILE is impacted by the extra allocation and
copy, and because we use order-0 pages, while the TCP_STREAM uses
bigger pages.

2724680bce neigh: Keep neighbour cache entries if number of them is small enough.
Since we have removed NCE (Neighbour Cache Entry) reference from
routing entries, the only refcnt holders of an NCE are its timer
(if running) and its owner table, in usual cases.  As a result,
neigh_periodic_work() purges NCEs over and over again even for
gateways.

It does not make sense to purge entries, if number of them is
very small, so keep them.  The minimum number of entries to keep
is specified by gc_thresh1.

d84295067f net: net_cls: fd passed in SCM_RIGHTS datagram not set correctly
Commit 6a328d8c6f changed the update
logic for the socket but it does not update the SCM_RIGHTS update
as well. This patch is based on the net_prio fix commit

48a87cc26c

    net: netprio: fd passed in SCM_RIGHTS datagram not set correctly

    A socket fd passed in a SCM_RIGHTS datagram was not getting
    updated with the new tasks cgrp prioidx. This leaves IO on
    the socket tagged with the old tasks priority.

    To fix this add a check in the scm recvmsg path to update the
    sock cgrp prioidx with the new tasks value.

Let's apply the same fix for net_cls.

splice() can handle pages of any order, but network code tries hard to
split them in PAGE_SIZE units. Not quite successfully anyway, as
__splice_segment() assumed poff < PAGE_SIZE. This is true for

This patch removes this logic to give the pages as they are in the skb.

d59577b6ff sk-filter: Add ability to lock a socket filter program
While a privileged program can open a raw socket, attach some
restrictive filter and drop its privileges (or send the socket to an
unprivileged program through some Unix socket), the filter can still
be removed or modified by the unprivileged program. This commit adds a
socket option to lock the filter (SO_LOCK_FILTER) preventing any
modification of a socket filter program.

This is similar to OpenBSD BIOCLOCK ioctl on bpf sockets, except even
root is not allowed change/drop the filter.

The state of the lock can be read with getsockopt(). No error is
triggered if the state is not changed. -EPERM is returned when a user
tries to remove the lock or to change/remove the filter while the lock
is active. The check is done directly in sk_attach_filter() and
sk_detach_filter() and does not affect only setsockopt() syscall.

d07d7507bf net, wireless: overwrite default_ethtool_ops
Since:

commit 2c60db0370
Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
Date:   Sun Sep 16 09:17:26 2012 +0000

    net: provide a default dev->ethtool_ops

wireless core does not correctly assign ethtool_ops.

After alloc_netdev*() call, some cfg80211 drivers provide they own
ethtool_ops, but some do not. For them, wireless core provide generic
cfg80211_ethtool_ops, which is assigned in NETDEV_REGISTER notify call:

        if (!dev->ethtool_ops)
                dev->ethtool_ops = &cfg80211_ethtool_ops;

But after Eric's commit, dev->ethtool_ops is no longer NULL (on cfg80211
drivers without custom ethtool_ops), but points to &default_ethtool_ops.

In order to fix the problem, provide function which will overwrite
default_ethtool_ops and use it by wireless core.

01c5f864e6 net: Rewrite netif_set_xps_queues to address several issues
This change is meant to address several issues I found within the
netif_set_xps_queues function.

If the allocation of one of the maps to be assigned to new_dev_maps failed
we could end up with the device map in an inconsistent state since we had
already worked through a number of CPUs and removed or added the queue.  To
address that I split the process into several steps.  The first of which is
just the allocation of updated maps for CPUs that will need larger maps to
store the queue.  By doing this we can fail gracefully without actually
altering the contents of the current device map.

The second issue I found was the fact that we were always allocating a new
device map even if we were not adding any queues.  I have updated the code
so that we only allocate a new device map if we are adding queues,
otherwise if we are not adding any queues to CPUs we just skip to the
removal process.

The last change I made was to reuse the code from remove_xps_queue to remove
the queue from the CPU.  By making this change we can be consistent in how
we go about adding and removing the queues from the CPUs.

10cdc3f3cd net: Rewrite netif_reset_xps_queue to allow for better code reuse
This patch does a minor refactor on netif_reset_xps_queue to address a few
items I noticed.

First is the fact that we are doing removal of queues in both
netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue.  Since there is no need to
have the code in two places I am pushing it out into a separate function
and will come back in another patch and reuse the code in
netif_set_xps_queue.

The second item this change addresses is the fact that the Tx queues were
not getting their numa_node value cleared as a part of the XPS queue reset.
This patch resolves that by resetting the numa_node value if the dev_maps
value is set.

This patch adds two functions, netif_reset_xps_queue and
netif_set_xps_queue.  The main idea behind these two functions is to
provide a mechanism through which drivers can update their defaults in
regards to XPS.

Currently no such mechanism exists and as a result we cannot use XPS for
things such as ATR which would require a basic configuration to start in
which the Tx queues are mapped to CPUs via a 1:1 mapping.  With this change
I am making it possible for drivers such as ixgbe to be able to use the XPS
feature by controlling the default configuration.

One long standing problem with TSO/GSO/GRO packets is that skb->len
doesn't represent a precise amount of bytes on wire.

Headers are only accounted for the first segment.
For TCP, thats typically 66 bytes per 1448 bytes segment missing,
an error of 4.5 % for normal MSS value.

As consequences :

1) TBF/CBQ/HTB/NETEM/... can send more bytes than the assigned limits.
2) Device stats are slightly under estimated as well.

Fix this by taking account of headers in qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len
computation.

Packet schedulers should use qdisc pkt_len instead of skb->len for their
bandwidth limitations, and TSO enabled devices drivers could use pkt_len
if their statistics are not hardware assisted, and if they don't scratch
skb->cb[] first word.

Both egress and ingress paths work, thanks to commit fda55eca5a
(net: introduce skb_transport_header_was_set()) : If GRO built
a GSO packet, it also set the transport header for us.

We have skb_mac_header_was_set() helper to tell if mac_header
was set on a skb. We would like the same for transport_header.

__netif_receive_skb() doesn't reset the transport header if already
set by GRO layer.

Note that network stacks usually reset the transport header anyway,
after pulling the network header, so this change only allows
a followup patch to have more precise qdisc pkt_len computation
for GSO packets at ingress side.

aa1113d9f8 net: filter: return -EINVAL if BPF_S_ANC* operation is not supported
Currently, we return -EINVAL for malformed or wrong BPF filters.
However, this is not done for BPF_S_ANC* operations, which makes it
more difficult to detect if it's actually supported or not by the
BPF machine. Therefore, we should also return -EINVAL if K is within
the SKF_AD_OFF universe and the ancillary operation did not match.

Why exactly is it needed? If tools such as libpcap/tcpdump want to
make use of new ancillary operations (like filtering VLAN in kernel
space), there is currently no sane way to test if this feature /
BPF_S_ANC* op is present or not, since no error is returned. This
patch will make life easier for that and allow for a proper usage
for user space applications.

There was concern, if this patch will break userland. Short answer: Yes
and no. Long answer: It will "break" only for code that calls ...

  { BPF_LD | BPF_(W|H|B) | BPF_ABS, 0, 0, <K> },

... where <K> is in [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] _and_ <K> is *not* an
ancillary. And here comes the BUT: assuming some *old* code will have
such an instruction where <K> is between [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] and
it doesn't know ancillary operations, then this will give a
non-expected / unwanted behavior as well (since we do not return the
BPF machine with 0 after a failed load_pointer(), which was the case
before introducing ancillary operations, but load sth. into the
accumulator instead, and continue with the next instruction, for
instance). Thus, user space code would already have been broken by
introducing ancillary operations into the BPF machine per se. Code
that does such a direct load, e.g. "load word at packet offset
0xffffffff into accumulator" ("ld [0xffffffff]") is quite broken,
isn't it? The whole assumption of ancillary operations is that no-one
intentionally calls things like "ld [0xffffffff]" and expect this
word to be loaded from such a packet offset. Hence, we can also safely
make use of this feature testing patch and facilitate application
development. Therefore, at least from this patch onwards, we have
*for sure* a check whether current or in future implemented BPF_S_ANC*
ops are supported in the kernel. Patch was tested on x86_64.

(Thanks to Eric for the previous review.)

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
  containers in general and user namespaces in particular.  The user
  space interface is now complete.

  This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
  namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces.
  The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from
  using cool new kernel features is broken.

  This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
  the pid, user, mount namespaces.

  This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
  cleanups/simplifications.  Of particular significance is the rework of
  the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out
  tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation.  At
  least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
  to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS,
  ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is
  currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission
  checks are always applied.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers
  so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
  namespaces.

  Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
  permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user
  namespace root to usefully use the networking stack.  Similar changes
  for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my
  tree.

  Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn
  in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
  /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.

  Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
  ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the
  Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from
  being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

  Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
  user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."

5e4a08476b userns: Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for most uses of setns.
Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> found a nasty little bug in
the permissions of setns.  With unprivileged user namespaces it
became possible to create new namespaces without privilege.

However the setns calls were relaxed to only require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in
the user nameapce of the targed namespace.

Which made the following nasty sequence possible.

pid = clone(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS);
if (pid == 0) { /* child */
	system("mount --bind /home/me/passwd /etc/passwd");
}
else if (pid != 0) { /* parent */
	char path[PATH_MAX];
	snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/proc/%u/ns/mnt");
	fd = open(path, O_RDONLY);
	setns(fd, 0);
	system("su -");
}

Prevent this possibility by requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN
in the current user namespace when joing all but the user namespace.

6a674e9c75 net: Add support for hardware-offloaded encapsulation
This patch adds support in the kernel for offloading in the NIC Tx and Rx
checksumming for encapsulated packets (such as VXLAN and IP GRE).

For Tx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set the right bits
in netdev->hw_enc_features. The protocol driver will have to set the
skb->encapsulation bit and populate the inner headers, so the NIC driver will
use those inner headers to calculate the csum in hardware.

For Rx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set again the
skb->encapsulation flag and the skb->ip_csum to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
In that case the protocol driver should push the decapsulated packet up
to the stack, again with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In ether case, the protocol
driver should set the skb->encapsulation flag back to zero. Finally the
protocol driver should have NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag set in its features.

commit 2e71a6f808 (net: gro: selective flush of packets) added
a bug for skbs using frag_list. This part of the GRO stack is rarely
used, as it needs skb not using a page fragment for their skb->head.

Most drivers do use a page fragment, but some of them use GFP_KERNEL
allocations for the initial fill of their RX ring buffer.

napi_gro_flush() overwrite skb->prev that was used for these skb to
point to the last skb in frag_list.

Fix this using a separate field in struct napi_gro_cb to point to the
last fragment.

ce46cc64d4 net: neighbour: prohibit negative value for unres_qlen_bytes parameter
unres_qlen_bytes and unres_qlen are int type.
But multiple relation(unres_qlen_bytes = unres_qlen * SKB_TRUESIZE(ETH_FRAME_LEN))
will cause type overflow when seting unres_qlen. e.g.

$ echo 1027506 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen
1182657265
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen_bytes
-2147479756

The gutted value is not that we setting。
But user/administrator don't know this is caused by int type overflow.

what's more, it is meaningless and even dangerous that unres_qlen_bytes is set
with negative number. Because, for unresolved neighbour address, kernel will cache packets
without limit in __neigh_event_send()(e.g. (u32)-1 = 2GB).

4e66ae2ea3 net: dev_change_net_namespace: send a KOBJ_REMOVED/KOBJ_ADD
When a new nic is created in namespace ns1, the kernel sends a KOBJ_ADD uevent
to ns1.  When the nic is moved to ns2, we only send a KOBJ_MOVE to ns2, and
nothing to ns1.

This patch changes that behavior so that when moving a nic from ns1 to ns2, we
send a KOBJ_REMOVED to ns1 and KOBJ_ADD to ns2.  (The KOBJ_MOVE is still
sent to ns2).

The effects of this can be seen when starting and stopping containers in
an upstart based host.  Lxc will create a pair of veth nics, the kernel
sends KOBJ_ADD, and upstart starts network-instance jobs for each.  When
one nic is moved to the container, because no KOBJ_REMOVED event is
received, the network-instance job for that veth never goes away.  This
was reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1065589
With this patch the networ-instance jobs properly go away.

The other oddness solved here is that if a nic is passed into a running
upstart-based container, without this patch no network-instance job is
started in the container.  But when the container creates a new nic
itself (ip link add new type veth) then network-interface jobs are
created.  With this patch, behavior comes in line with a regular host.

v2: also send KOBJ_ADD to new netns.  There will then be a
_MOVE event from the device_rename() call, but that should
be innocuous.

Instead of having the getsockopt() of SO_BINDTODEVICE return an index, which
will then require another call like if_indextoname() to get the actual interface
name, have it return the name directly.

This also matches the existing man page description on socket(7) which mentions
the argument being an interface name.

If the value has not been set, zero is returned and optlen will be set to zero
to indicate there is no interface name present.

Added a seqlock to protect this code path, and dev_ifname(), from someone
changing the device name via dev_change_name().

4a6ee25c7e netprio_cgroup: reimplement priomap expansion
netprio kept track of the highest prioidx allocated and resized
priomaps accordingly when necessary.  This makes it necessary to keep
track of prioidx allocation and may end up resizing on every new
prioidx.

Update extend_netdev_table() such that it takes @target_idx which the
priomap should be able to accomodate.  If the priomap is large enough,
nothing happens; otherwise, the size is doubled until @target_idx can
be accomodated.

This makes max_prioidx and write_update_netdev_table() unnecessary.
write_priomap() now calls extend_netdev_table() directly.

"Please pull my mac80211.git tree (see below) to get two more fixes for
3.7. Both fix regressions introduced *before* this cycle that weren't
noticed until now, one for IBSS not cleaning up properly and the other
to add back the "wireless" sysfs directory for Fedora's startup scripts."

Regarding the iwlwifi tree, Johannes says:

"Please also pull my iwlwifi.git tree, I have two fixes: one to remove a
spurious warning that can actually trigger in legitimate situations, and
the other to fix a regression from when monitor mode was changed to use
the "sniffer" firmware mode."

Also included is an nfc tree pull.  Samuel says:

"We mostly have pn533 fixes here, 2 memory leaks and an early unlocking fix.
Moreover, we also have an LLCP adapter linked list insertion fix."

On top of that, a few more bits...  Albert Pool adds a USB ID
to rtlwifi.  Bing Zhao provides two mwifiex fixes -- one to fix
a system hang during a command timeout, and the other to properly
report a suspend error to the MMC core.  Finally, Sujith Manoharan

98f842e675 proc: Usable inode numbers for the namespace file descriptors.
Assign a unique proc inode to each namespace, and use that
inode number to ensure we only allocate at most one proc
inode for every namespace in proc.

A single proc inode per namespace allows userspace to test
to see if two processes are in the same namespace.

This has been a long requested feature and only blocked because
a naive implementation would put the id in a global space and
would ultimately require having a namespace for the names of
namespaces, making migration and certain virtualization tricks
impossible.

We still don't have per superblock inode numbers for proc, which
appears necessary for application unaware checkpoint/restart and
migrations (if the application is using namespace file descriptors)
but that is now allowd by the design if it becomes important.

I have preallocated the ipc and uts initial proc inode numbers so
their structures can be statically initialized.

dfc47ef863 net: Push capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) into the rtnl methods
- 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.

Later patches will remove the extra capable calls from methods
that are safe for unprivilged users.

464dc801c7 net: Don't export sysctls to unprivileged users
In preparation for supporting the creation of network namespaces
by unprivileged users, modify all of the per net sysctl exports
and refuse to allow them to unprivileged users.

This makes it safe for unprivileged users in general to access
per net sysctls, and allows sysctls to be exported to unprivileged
users on an individual basis as they are deemed safe.

d328b83682 userns: make each net (net_ns) belong to a user_ns
The user namespace which creates a new network namespace owns that
namespace and all resources created in it.  This way we can target
capability checks for privileged operations against network resources to
the user_ns which created the network namespace in which the resource
lives.  Privilege to the user namespace which owns the network
namespace, or any parent user namespace thereof, provides the same
privilege to the network resource.

This patch is reworked from a version originally by

2407dc25f7 netns: Deduplicate and fix copy_net_ns when !CONFIG_NET_NS
The copy of copy_net_ns used when the network stack is not
built is broken as it does not return -EINVAL when attempting
to create a new network namespace.  We don't even have
a previous network namespace.

Since we need a copy of copy_net_ns in net/net_namespace.h that is
available when the networking stack is not built at all move the
correct version of copy_net_ns from net_namespace.c into net_namespace.h
Leaving us with just 2 versions of copy_net_ns.  One version for when
we compile in network namespace suport and another stub for all other
occasions.

38c1a01cf1 wireless: add back sysfs directory
commit 35b2a113cb broke (at least)
Fedora's networking scripts, they check for the existence of the
wireless directory. As the files aren't used, add the directory
back and not the files. Also do it for both drivers based on the
old wireless extensions and cfg80211, regardless of whether the
compat code for wext is built into cfg80211 or not.
