* ppp: implement x-netns supportGuillaume Nault2015-08-251-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let packets move from one netns to the other at PPP encapsulation and decapsulation time. PPP units and channels remain in the netns in which they were originally created. Only the net_device may move to a different namespace. Cross netns handling is thus transparent to lower PPP layers (PPPoE, L2TP, etc.). PPP devices are automatically unregistered when their netns gets removed. So read() and poll() on the unit file descriptor will respectively receive EOF and POLLHUP. Channels aren't affected. Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@alphalink.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ppp: fix device unregistration upon netns deletionGuillaume Nault2015-08-171-36/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PPP devices may get automatically unregistered when their network namespace is getting removed. This happens if the ppp control plane daemon (e.g. pppd) exits while it is the last user of this namespace. This leads to several races: * ppp_exit_net() may destroy the per namespace idr (pn->units_idr) before all file descriptors were released. Successive ppp_release() calls may then cleanup PPP devices with ppp_shutdown_interface() and try to use the already destroyed idr. * Automatic device unregistration may also happen before the ppp_release() call for that device gets executed. Once called on the file owning the device, ppp_release() will then clean it up and try to unregister it a second time. To fix these issues, operations defined in ppp_shutdown_interface() are moved to the PPP device's ndo_uninit() callback. This allows PPP devices to be properly cleaned up by unregister_netdev() and friends. So checking for ppp->owner is now an accurate test to decide if a PPP device should be unregistered. Setting ppp->owner is done in ppp_create_interface(), before device registration, in order to avoid unprotected modification of this field. Finally, ppp_exit_net() now starts by unregistering all remaining PPP devices to ensure that none will get unregistered after the call to idr_destroy().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | In ppp_ioctl(), bpf_prog_create() is called inside ppp_lock, which eventually calls vmalloc() and hits BUG_ON() in vmalloc.c. This patch works around the problem by moving the allocation outside the lock. The bug was revealed by the recent change in net/core/filter.c, as it allocates via vmalloc() instead of kmalloc() now.

| * fix misuses of f_count() in ppp and netlinkAl Viro2014-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | we used to check for "nobody else could start doing anything with that opened file" by checking that refcount was 2 or less - one for descriptor table and one we'd acquired in fget() on the way to wherever we are. That was race-prone (somebody else might have had a reference to descriptor table and do fget() just as we'd been checking) and it had become flat-out incorrect back when we switched to fget_light() on those codepaths - unlike fget(), it doesn't grab an extra reference unless the descriptor table is shared. The same change allowed a race-free check, though - we are safe exactly when refcount is less than 2. It was a long time ago; pre-2.6.12 for ioctl() (the codepath leading to ppp one) and 2.6.17 for sendmsg() (netlink one). OTOH, netlink hadn't grown that check until 3.9 and ppp used to live in drivers/net, not drivers/net/ppp until 3.1. The bug existed well before that, though, and the same fix used to apply in old location of file. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* | net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE supportEric Dumazet2014-10-071-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets, I found strange dst refcount false sharing. Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal. Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit() before even taking qdisc lock. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some packet schedulers or classifiers. This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers or qdiscs/classifiers. Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call following helper in their setup instead of the prior : dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE; -> netif_keep_dst(dev); Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers. The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something smarter later.

| * net: ppp: fix creating PPP pass and active filtersChristoph Schulz2014-07-161-6/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 568f194e8bd16c353ad50f9ab95d98b20578a39d ("net: ppp: use sk_unattached_filter api") inadvertently changed the logic when setting PPP pass and active filters. This applies to both the generic PPP subsystem implemented by drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c and the ISDN PPP subsystem implemented by drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_ppp.c. The original code in ppp_ioctl() (or isdn_ppp_ioctl(), resp.) handling PPPIOCSPASS and PPPIOCSACTIVE allowed to remove a pass/active filter previously set by using a filter of length zero. However, with the new code this is not possible anymore as this case is not explicitly checked for, which leads to passing NULL as a filter to sk_unattached_filter_create(). This results in returning EINVAL to the caller. Additionally, the variables ppp->pass_filter and ppp->active_filter (or is->pass_filter and is->active_filter, resp.) are not reset to NULL, although the filters they point to may have been destroyed by sk_unattached_filter_destroy(), so in this EINVAL case dangling pointers are left behind (provided the pointers were previously non-NULL). This patch corrects both problems by checking whether the filter passed is empty or non-empty, and prevents sk_unattached_filter_create() from being called in the first case. Moreover, the pointers are always reset to NULL as soon as sk_unattached_filter_destroy() returns. Signed-off-by: Christoph Schulz <develop@kristov.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

This applies to both the generic PPP subsystem implemented by drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c and the ISDN PPP subsystem implemented by drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_ppp.c. The first call is from within get_filter(). The second one is through the call chain ppp_ioctl() or isdn_ppp_ioctl() --> sk_unattached_filter_create() --> __sk_prepare_filter() --> sk_chk_filter() The first call from within get_filter() should be deleted as get_filter() is called just before calling sk_unattached_filter_create() later on, which eventually calls sk_chk_filter() anyway. For 3.15.x, this proposed change is a bugfix rather than a pure optimization as in that branch, sk_chk_filter() may replace filter codes by other codes which are not recognized when executing sk_chk_filter() a second time. So with 3.15.x, if sk_chk_filter() is called twice, the second invocation may yield EINVAL (this depends on the filter codes found in the filter to be set, but because the replacement is done for frequently used codes, this is almost always the case). The net effect is that setting pass and/or active PPP filters does not work anymore, since sk_unattached_filter_create() always returns EINVAL due to the second call to sk_chk_filter(), regardless whether the filter was originally sane or not.

As a result, due to __user annotation in sock_fprog, sparse triggers false positives (incorrect type in assignment [different address space]) when filters are set up before passing them to sk_unattached_filter_create().

* ppp: Fix race condition with queue start/stopDavid Woodhouse2012-04-131-9/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit e675f0cc9a872fd152edc0c77acfed19bf28b81e ("ppp: Don't stop and restart queue on every TX packet") introduced a race condition which could leave the net queue stopped even when the channel is no longer busy. By calling netif_stop_queue() from ppp_start_xmit(), based on the return value from ppp_xmit_process() but *after* all the locks have been dropped, we could potentially do so *after* the channel has actually finished transmitting and attempted to re-wake the queue. Fix this by moving the netif_stop_queue() into ppp_xmit_process() under the xmit lock. I hadn't done this previously, because it gets called from other places than ppp_start_xmit(). But I now think it's the better option. The net queue *should* be stopped if the channel becomes congested due to writes from pppd, anyway.

* ppp: Don't stop and restart queue on every TX packetDavid Woodhouse2012-04-031-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For every transmitted packet, ppp_start_xmit() will stop the netdev queue and then, if appropriate, restart it. This causes the TX softirq to run, entirely gratuitously. This is "only" a waste of CPU time in the normal case, but it's actively harmful when the PPP device is a TEQL slave — the wakeup will cause the offending device to receive the next TX packet from the TEQL queue, when it *should* have gone to the next slave in the list. We end up seeing large bursts of packets on just *one* slave device, rather than using the full available bandwidth over all slaves. This patch fixes the problem by *not* unconditionally stopping the queue in ppp_start_xmit(). It adds a return value from ppp_xmit_process() which indicates whether the queue should be stopped or not. It *doesn't* remove the call to netif_wake_queue() from ppp_xmit_process(), because other code paths (especially from ppp_output_wakeup()) need it there and it's messy to push it out to the other callers to do it based on the return value. So we leave it in place — it's a no-op in the case where the queue wasn't stopped, so it's harmless in the TX path. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ppp: Move ioctl definitions from if_ppp.h to new ppp-ioctl.hPaul Mackerras2012-03-041-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves the definitions of the ioctls, constants and structures relating to the ppp_generic interface to userspace out from if_ppp.h to a new file, ppp-ioctl.h. The new file has my copyright since I designed and implemented the ppp_generic interface in the late 1990s. None of the contents of this file comes from the original if_ppp.h published by Carnegie Mellon University. Of the remainder of if_ppp.h, only the PPP_MTU definition was being used, and this replaces the uses of it with PPP_MRU (which is identical). Therefore, this replaces the entire file with the single line #include <linux/ppp-ioctl.h> which clearly doesn't contain any CMU code. Thus I have removed the CMU copyright notice with its problematic advertising clause, and in fact since it's only one trivial line I have not added any other copyright notice.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a (mostly cosmetic) bug introduced by the patch 'ppp: Use SKB queue abstraction interfaces in fragment processing' found here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg153312.html The above patch rewrote and moved the code responsible for cleaning up discarded fragments but the new code does not catch every case where this is necessary. This results in some discarded fragments remaining in the queue, and triggering a 'bad seq' error on the subsequent call to ppp_mp_reconstruct. Fragments are discarded whenever other fragments of the same frame have been lost. This can generate a lot of unwanted and misleading log messages. This patch also adds additional detail to the debug logging to make it clearer which fragments were lost and which other fragments were discarded as a result of losses. (Run pppd with 'kdebug 1' option to enable debug logging.) Signed-off-by: Ben McKeegan <ben@netservers.co.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
