Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like: skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb); sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len); But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially to freed up memory. Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is possible that the value isn't accurate. And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and even '1'. So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get fixed as a side effect. Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this issue tree-wide. Signed-off-by:

This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) to return msg_name to the user. This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak uninitialized memory. Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets msg_name to NULL. Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David Miller. Changes since RFC: Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of verify_iovec. With this change in place I could remove " if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0) msg->msg_name = NULL ". This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL. Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change comments to netdev style. Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Suggested-by:

The current code does not fill the msg_name member in case it is set. It also does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore makes net/socket.c leak the local, uninitialized sockaddr_storage variable to userland -- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory. Fix that by simply setting msg_namelen to 0 as obviously nobody cared about vcc_recvmsg() not filling the msg_name in case it was set. Signed-off-by:

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.

Avoid submitting packets to a vcc which is being closed. Things go badly wrong when the ->pop method gets later called after everything's been torn down. Use the ATM socket lock for synchronisation with vcc_destroy_socket(), which clears the ATM_VF_READY bit under the same lock. Otherwise, we could end up submitting a packet to the device driver even after its ->ops->close method has been called. And it could call the vcc's ->pop method after the protocol has been shut down. Which leads to a panic. Signed-off-by:

The immediate use case for this is that it will allow us to ensure that a pppoatm queue is woken after it has to drop a packet due to the sock being locked. Note that 'release_cb' is called when the socket is *unlocked*. This is not to be confused with vcc_release() — which probably ought to be called vcc_close(). Signed-off-by:

The vcc_destroy_socket() closes vcc before the protocol is detached from vcc by calling vcc->push() with NULL skb. This leaves some time window, where the protocol may call vcc->send() on closed vcc and crash. Now pppoatm_send(), like vcc_sendmsg(), checks for vcc flags that indicate that vcc is not ready. If the vcc is not ready we just drop frame. Queueing frames is much more complicated because we don't have callbacks that inform us about vcc flags changes. Signed-off-by:

The pppoatm_send() does not take any lock that will prevent concurrent vcc_sendmsg(). This causes two problems: - there is no locking between checking the send queue size with atm_may_send() and incrementing sk_wmem_alloc, and the real queue size can be a little higher than sk_sndbuf - the vcc->sendmsg() can be called concurrently. I'm not sure if it's allowed. Some drivers (eni, nicstar, ...) seem to assume it will never happen. Now pppoatm_send() takes ATM socket lock, the same that is used in vcc_sendmsg() and other ATM socket functions. The pppoatm_send() is called with BH disabled, so bh_lock_sock() is used instead of lock_sock(). Signed-off-by:

The atm is using atmvcc->push(vcc, NULL) callback to notify protocol that vcc will be closed and protocol must detach from it. This callback is usually used by protocol to decrement module usage count by module_put(), but it leaves small window then module is still used after module_put(). Now the owner of push() callback is kept in atmvcc and module_put(atmvcc->owner) is called after the protocol is detached from vcc. Signed-off-by:

There's really no excuse for an additional wmem_default of buffering between the netdev queue and the ATM device. Two packets (one in-flight, and one ready to send) ought to be fine. It's not as if it should take long to get another from the netdev queue when we need it. If necessary we can make the queue space configurable later, but I don't think it's likely to be necessary. cf. commit 9d02daf7 (pppoatm: Fix excessive queue bloat) which did something very similar for PPPoATM. Note that there is a tremendously unlikely race condition which may result in qspace temporarily going negative. If a CPU running the br2684_pop() function goes off into the weeds for a long period of time after incrementing qspace to 1, but before calling netdev_wake_queue()... and another CPU ends up calling br2684_start_xmit() and *stopping* the queue again before the first CPU comes back, the netdev queue could end up being woken when qspace has already reached zero. An alternative approach to coping with this race would be to check in br2684_start_xmit() for qspace==0 and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, but just using '> 0' and '< 1' for comparison instead of '== 0' and '!= 0' is simpler. It just warranted a mention of *why* we do it that way... Move the call to atmvcc->send() to happen *after* the accounting and potentially stopping the netdev queue, in br2684_xmit_vcc(). This matters if the ->send() call suffers an immediate failure, because it'll call br2684_pop() with the offending skb before returning. We want that to happen *after* we've done the initial accounting for the packet in question. Also make it return an appropriate success/failure indication while we're at it. Tested by running 'ping -l 1000 bottomless.aaisp.net.uk' from within my network, with only a single PPPoE-over-BR2684 link running. And after setting txqueuelen on the nas0 interface to something low (5, in fact). Before the patch, we'd see about 15 packets being queued and a resulting latency of ~56ms being reached. After the patch, we see only about 8, which is fairly much what we expect. And a max latency of ~36ms. On this OpenWRT box, wmem_default is 163840. Signed-off-by:

We discovered that PPPoATM has an excessively deep transmit queue. A queue the size of the default socket send buffer (wmem_default) is maintained between the PPP generic core and the ATM device. Fix it to queue a maximum of *two* packets. The one the ATM device is currently working on, and one more for the ATM driver to process immediately in its TX done interrupt handler. The PPP core is designed to feed packets to the channel with minimal latency, so that really ought to be enough to keep the ATM device busy. While we're at it, fix the fact that we were triggering the wakeup tasklet on *every* pppoatm_pop() call. The comment saying "this is inefficient, but doing it right is too hard" turns out to be overly pessimistic... I think :) On machines like the Traverse Geos, with a slow Geode CPU and two high-speed ADSL2+ interfaces, there were reports of extremely high CPU usage which could partly be attributed to the extra wakeups. (The wakeup handling could actually be made a whole lot easier if we stop checking sk->sk_sndbuf altogether. Given that we now only queue *two* packets ever, one wonders what the point is. As it is, you could already deadlock the thing by setting the sk_sndbuf to a value lower than the MTU of the device, and it'd just block for ever.) Signed-off-by:

Since all that include/linux/if_ppp.h does is #include <linux/ppp-ioctl.h>, this replaces the occurrences of #include <linux/if_ppp.h> with #include <linux/ppp-ioctl.h>. It also corrects an error in Documentation/networking/l2tp.txt, where it referenced include/linux/if_ppp.h as the source of some definitions that are actually now defined in include/linux/if_pppol2tp.h.
