      net: Pass optional SKB and SK arguments to dst_ops->{update_pmtu,redirect}() · 6700c270
      David S. Miller authored 
      
This will be used so that we can compose a full flow key.

Even though we have a route in this context, we need more.  In the
future the routes will be without destination address, source address,
etc. keying.  One ipv4 route will cover entire subnets, etc.

In this environment we have to have a way to possess persistent storage
for redirects and PMTU information.  This persistent storage will exist
in the FIB tables, and that's why we'll need to be able to rebuild a
full lookup flow key here.  Using that flow key will do a fib_lookup()
and create/update the persistent entry.

      ipv4: Handle PMTU in all ICMP error handlers. · 36393395
      David S. Miller authored 
      
With ip_rt_frag_needed() removed, we have to explicitly update PMTU
information in every ICMP error handler.

Create two helper functions to facilitate this.

1) ipv4_sk_update_pmtu()

   This updates the PMTU when we have a socket context to
   work with.

2) ipv4_update_pmtu()

   Raw version, used when no socket context is available.  For this
   interface, we essentially just pass in explicit arguments for
   the flow identity information we would have extracted from the
   socket.

   And you'll notice that ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() is simply implemented
   in terms of ipv4_update_pmtu()

Note that __ip_route_output_key() is used, rather than something like
ip_route_output_flow() or ip_route_output_key().  This is because we
absolutely do not want to end up with a route that does IPSEC
encapsulation and the like.  Instead, we only want the route that
would get us to the node described by the outermost IP header.

      net: Convert printks to pr_<level> · 058bd4d2
      Joe Perches authored 
      
Use a more current kernel messaging style.

Convert a printk block to print_hex_dump.
Coalesce formats, align arguments.
Use %s, __func__ instead of embedding function names.

Some messages that were prefixed with <foo>_close are
now prefixed with <foo>_fini.  Some ah4 and esp messages
are now not prefixed with "ip ".

The intent of this patch is to later add something like
  #define pr_fmt(fmt) "IPv4: " fmt.
to standardize the output messages.

Text size is trivially reduced. (x86-32 allyesconfig)

$ size net/ipv4/built-in.o*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

      ipv6: Fix ip_gre lockless xmits. · f2b3ee9e
      Willem de Bruijn authored 
      Tunnel devices set NETIF_F_LLTX to bypass HARD_TX_LOCK.  Sit and
ipip set this unconditionally in ops->setup, but gre enables it
conditionally after parameter passing in ops->newlink. This is
not called during tunnel setup as below, however, so GRE tunnels are
still taking the lock.

modprobe ip_gre
ip tunnel add test0 mode gre remote 10.5.1.1 dev lo
ip link set test0 up
ip addr add 10.6.0.1 dev test0
 # cat /sys/class/net/test0/features
 # $DIR/test_tunnel_xmit 10 10.5.2.1
ip route add 10.5.2.0/24 dev test0
ip tunnel del test0

The newlink callback is only called in rtnl_netlink, and only if
the device is new, as it calls register_netdevice internally. Gre
tunnels are created at 'ip tunnel add' with ioctl SIOCADDTUNNEL,
which calls ipgre_tunnel_locate, which calls register_netdev.
rtnl_newlink is called at 'ip link set', but skips ops->newlink
and the device is up with locking still enabled. The equivalent
ipip tunnel works fine, btw (just substitute 'method gre' for
'method ipip').

On kernels before /sys/class/net/*/features was removed [1],
the first commented out line returns 0x6000 with method gre,
which indicates that NETIF_F_LLTX (0x1000) is not set. With ipip,
it reports 0x7000. This test cannot be used on recent kernels where
the sysfs file is removed (and ETHTOOL_GFEATURES does not currently
work for tunnel devices, because they lack dev->ethtool_ops).

The second commented out line calls a simple transmission test [2]
that sends on 24 cores at maximum rate. Results of a single run:

ipip:			19,372,306
gre before patch:	 4,839,753
gre after patch:	19,133,873

This patch replicates the condition check in ipgre_newlink to
ipgre_tunnel_locate. It works for me, both with oseq on and off.
This is the first time I looked at rtnetlink and iproute2 code,
though, so someone more knowledgeable should probably check the
patch. Thanks.

The tail of both functions is now identical, by the way. To avoid
code duplication, I'll be happy to rework this and merge the two.

      net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules · 8909c9ad
      Vasiliy Kulikov authored 
      Since a8f80e8f any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/.  This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**.  However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.

This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases.  This fixes CVE-2011-1019.

Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".

Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream
kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit.

    root@albatros:~# capsh --drop=$(seq -s, 0 11),$(seq -s, 13 34) --
    root@albatros:~# grep Cap /proc/$$/status
    CapInh:	0000000000000000
    CapPrm:	fffffff800001000
    CapEff:	fffffff800001000
    CapBnd:	fffffff800001000
    root@albatros:~# modprobe xfs
    FATAL: Error inserting xfs

    root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep xfs
    root@albatros:~# ifconfig xfs
    xfs: error fetching interface information: Device not found
    root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep xfs
    root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep sit
    root@albatros:~# ifconfig sit

    root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep sit

    tunnel4                 2957  1 sit

For CAP_SYS_MODULE module loading is still relaxed:

    root@albatros:~# grep Cap /proc/$$/status
    CapInh:	0000000000000000
    CapPrm:	ffffffffffffffff
    CapEff:	ffffffffffffffff
    CapBnd:	ffffffffffffffff
    root@albatros:~# ifconfig xfs
    xfs: error fetching interface information: Device not found
    root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep xfs
    xfs                   745319  0

      ipv4: Don't pre-seed hoplimit metric. · 323e126f
      David S. Miller authored 
      
Always go through a new ip4_dst_hoplimit() helper, just like ipv6.

This allowed several simplifications:

1) The interim dst_metric_hoplimit() can go as it's no longer
   userd.

2) The sysctl_ip_default_ttl entry no longer needs to use
   ipv4_doint_and_flush, since the sysctl is not cached in
   routing cache metrics any longer.

3) ipv4_doint_and_flush no longer needs to be exported and
   therefore can be marked static.

When ipv4_doint_and_flush_strategy was removed some time ago,
the external declaration in ip.h was mistakenly left around
so kill that off too.

We have to move the sysctl_ip_default_ttl declaration into
ipv4's route cache definition header net/route.h, because
currently net/ip.h (where the declaration lives now) has
a back dependency on net/route.h

      net: Abstract away all dst_entry metrics accesses. · defb3519
      David S. Miller authored 
      
Use helper functions to hide all direct accesses, especially writes,
to dst_entry metrics values.

This will allow us to:

1) More easily change how the metrics are stored.

2) Implement COW for metrics.

In particular this will help us put metrics into the inetpeer
cache if that is what we end up doing.  We can make the _metrics
member a pointer instead of an array, initially have it point
at the read-only metrics in the FIB, and then on the first set
grab an inetpeer entry and point the _metrics member there.
