* net: sock: replace sk_state_load with inet_sk_state_load and remove ↵Yafang Shao2017-12-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | sk_state_store sk_state_load is only used by AF_INET/AF_INET6, so rename it to inet_sk_state_load and move it into inet_sock.h. sk_state_store is removed as it is not used any more.

* net: diag: Fix refcnt leak in error path destroying socketDavid Ahern2016-08-241-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | inet_diag_find_one_icsk takes a reference to a socket that is not released if sock_diag_destroy returns an error. Fix by changing tcp_diag_destroy to manage the refcnt for all cases and remove the sock_put calls from tcp_abort.

* net: diag: Support destroying TCP sockets.Lorenzo Colitti2015-12-161-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements SOCK_DESTROY for TCP sockets. It causes all blocking calls on the socket to fail fast with ECONNABORTED and causes a protocol close of the socket. It informs the other end of the connection by sending a RST, i.e., initiating a TCP ABORT as per RFC 793. ECONNABORTED was chosen for consistency with FreeBSD.

* tcp: ensure proper barriers in lockless contextsEric Dumazet2015-11-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some functions access TCP sockets without holding a lock and might output non consistent data, depending on compiler and or architecture. tcp_diag_get_info(), tcp_get_info(), tcp_poll(), get_tcp4_sock() ... Introduce sk_state_load() and sk_state_store() to fix the issues, and more clearly document where this lack of locking is happening.

* sock_diag: implement a get_info handler for inetCraig Gallek2015-06-161-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This get_info handler will simply dispatch to the appropriate existing inet protocol handler. This patch also includes a new netlink attribute (INET_DIAG_PROTOCOL). This attribute is currently only used for multicast messages. Without this attribute, there is no way of knowing the IP protocol used by the socket information being broadcast. This attribute is not necessary in the 'dump' variant of this protocol (though it could easily be added) because dump requests are issued for specific family/protocol pairs. Tested: ss -E (note, the -E option has not yet been merged into the upstream version of ss).

* sock_diag: specify info_size per inet protocolCraig Gallek2015-06-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, there was no clear distinction between the inet protocols that used struct tcp_info to report information and those that didn't. This change adds a specific size attribute to the inet_diag_handler struct which defines these interfaces. This will make dispatching sock_diag get_info requests identical for all inet protocols in a following patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The ipv4 code uses a mixture of coding styles.

* [TCP]: Export accept queue len of a TCP listening socket via rx_queueSridhar Samudrala2006-06-301-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | While debugging a TCP server hang issue, we noticed that currently there is no way for a user to get the acceptq backlog value for a TCP listen socket. All the standard networking utilities that display socket info like netstat, ss and /proc/net/tcp have 2 fields called rx_queue and tx_queue. These fields do not mean much for listening sockets. This patch uses one of these unused fields(rx_queue) to export the accept queue len for listening sockets. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this the previous setup is back, i.e. tcp_diag can be built as a module, as dccp_diag and both share the infrastructure available in inet_diag. If one selects CONFIG_INET_DIAG as module CONFIG_INET_TCP_DIAG will also be built as a module, as will CONFIG_INET_DCCP_DIAG, if CONFIG_IP_DCCP was selected static or as a module, if CONFIG_INET_DIAG is y, being statically linked CONFIG_INET_TCP_DIAG will follow suit and CONFIG_INET_DCCP_DIAG will be built in the same manner as CONFIG_IP_DCCP. Now to aim at UDP, converting it to use inet_hashinfo, so that we can use iproute2 for UDP sockets as well.

* [ICSK]: Move TCP congestion avoidance members to icskArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-301-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changeset basically moves tcp_sk()->{ca_ops,ca_state,etc} to inet_csk(), minimal renaming/moving done in this changeset to ease review. Most of it is just changes of struct tcp_sock * to struct sock * parameters. With this we move to a state closer to two interesting goals: 1. Generalisation of net/ipv4/tcp_diag.c, becoming inet_diag.c, being used for any INET transport protocol that has struct inet_hashinfo and are derived from struct inet_connection_sock. Keeps the userspace API, that will just not display DCCP sockets, while newer versions of tools can support DCCP. 2.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is to break down the complexity of the series of patches, making it very clear that this one just does: 1. renames tcp_ prefixed hashtable functions and data structures that were already mostly generic to inet_ to share it with DCCP and other INET transport protocols. 2.

Removes some leftover prototypes in the headers (tcp_bucket_unlock & tcp_v4_build_header) Next changesets will move tcp_sk(sk)->bind_hash to inet_sock so that we can make functions such as tcp_inherit_port, __tcp_inherit_port, tcp_v4_get_port, __tcp_put_port, generic and get others like tcp_destroy_sock closer to generic (tcp_orphan_count will go to sk->sk_prot to allow this).

* [NET] Generalise TCP's struct open_request minisock infrastructureArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-06-191-11/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to ease peer review. Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn has two new members: ->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep ->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for a specific protocol The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an open_request. I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an or_calltable. Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-) Next changeset will rename some of the structs, fields and functions mentioned above, struct or_calltable is way unclear, better name it struct request_sock_ops, s/struct open_request/struct request_sock/g, etc. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NETLINK]: Synchronous message processing.Herbert Xu2005-05-031-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let's recap the problem. The current asynchronous netlink kernel message processing is vulnerable to these attacks: 1) Hit and run: Attacker sends one or more messages and then exits before they're processed. This may confuse/disable the next netlink user that gets the netlink address of the attacker since it may receive the responses to the attacker's messages. Proposed solutions: a) Synchronous processing. b) Stream mode socket. c) Restrict/prohibit binding. 2) Starvation: Because various netlink rcv functions were written to not return until all messages have been processed on a socket, it is possible for these functions to execute for an arbitrarily long period of time. If this is successfully exploited it could also be used to hold rtnl forever. Proposed solutions: a) Synchronous processing. b) Stream mode socket. Firstly let's cross off solution c). It only solves the first problem and it has user-visible impacts. In particular, it'll break user space applications that expect to bind or communicate with specific netlink addresses (pid's). So we're left with a choice of synchronous processing versus SOCK_STREAM for netlink. For the moment I'm sticking with the synchronous approach as suggested by Alexey since it's simpler and I'd rather spend my time working on other things. However, it does have a number of deficiencies compared to the stream mode solution: 1) User-space to user-space netlink communication is still vulnerable. 2) Inefficient use of resources. This is especially true for rtnetlink since the lock is shared with other users such as networking drivers. The latter could hold the rtnl while communicating with hardware which causes the rtnetlink user to wait when it could be doing other things. 3) It is still possible to DoS all netlink users by flooding the kernel netlink receive queue. The attacker simply fills the receive socket with a single netlink message that fills up the entire queue. The attacker then continues to call sendmsg with the same message in a loop. Point 3) can be countered by retransmissions in user-space code, however it is pretty messy. In light of these problems (in particular, point 3), we should implement stream mode netlink at some point. In the mean time, here is a patch that implements synchronous processing.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
