net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.

2017-07-05T12:41:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit cf124db566e6b036b8bcbe8decbed740bdfac8c6 ] Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

l2tp: don't mask errors in pppol2tp_getsockopt()

2017-04-08T15:29:04+00:00

pppol2tp_getsockopt() doesn't take into account the error code returned by pppol2tp_tunnel_getsockopt() or pppol2tp_session_getsockopt(). If error occurs there, pppol2tp_getsockopt() continues unconditionally and reports erroneous values.

l2tp: don't mask errors in pppol2tp_setsockopt()

2017-04-08T15:29:04+00:00

pppol2tp_setsockopt() unconditionally overwrites the error value returned by pppol2tp_tunnel_setsockopt() or pppol2tp_session_setsockopt(), thus hiding errors from userspace.

l2tp: take reference on sessions being dumped

2017-04-04T17:00:56+00:00

Take a reference on the sessions returned by l2tp_session_find_nth() (and rename it l2tp_session_get_nth() to reflect this change), so that caller is assured that the session isn't going to disappear while processing it. For procfs and debugfs handlers, the session is held in the .start() callback and dropped in .show(). Given that pppol2tp_seq_session_show() dereferences the associated PPPoL2TP socket and that l2tp_dfs_seq_session_show() might call pppol2tp_show(), we also need to call the session's .ref() callback to prevent the socket from going away from under us.

l2tp: take a reference on sessions used in genetlink handlers

2017-04-02T03:16:41+00:00

Callers of l2tp_nl_session_find() need to hold a reference on the returned session since there's no guarantee that it isn't going to disappear from under them. Relying on the fact that no l2tp netlink message may be processed concurrently isn't enough: sessions can be deleted by other means (e.g. by closing the PPPOL2TP socket of a ppp pseudowire). l2tp_nl_cmd_session_delete() is a bit special: it runs a callback function that may require a previous call to session->ref(). In particular, for ppp pseudowires, the callback is l2tp_session_delete(), which then calls pppol2tp_session_close() and dereferences the PPPOL2TP socket. The socket might already be gone at the moment l2tp_session_delete() calls session->ref(), so we need to take a reference during the session lookup. So we need to pass the do_ref variable down to l2tp_session_get() and l2tp_session_get_by_ifname(). Since all callers have to be updated, l2tp_session_find_by_ifname() and l2tp_nl_session_find() are renamed to reflect their new behaviour.

l2tp: hold session while sending creation notifications

2017-04-02T03:16:41+00:00

l2tp_session_find() doesn't take any reference on the returned session. Therefore, the session may disappear while sending the notification. Use l2tp_session_get() instead and decrement session's refcount once the notification is sent.

l2tp: fix duplicate session creation

2017-04-02T03:16:41+00:00

l2tp_session_create() relies on its caller for checking for duplicate sessions. This is racy since a session can be concurrently inserted after the caller's verification. Fix this by letting l2tp_session_create() verify sessions uniqueness upon insertion. Callers need to be adapted to check for l2tp_session_create()'s return code instead of calling l2tp_session_find(). pppol2tp_connect() is a bit special because it has to work on existing sessions (if they're not connected) or to create a new session if none is found. When acting on a preexisting session, a reference must be held or it could go away on us. So we have to use l2tp_session_get() instead of l2tp_session_find() and drop the reference before exiting.

l2tp: ensure session can't get removed during pppol2tp_session_ioctl()

2017-04-02T03:16:41+00:00

Holding a reference on session is required before calling pppol2tp_session_ioctl(). The session could get freed while processing the ioctl otherwise. Since pppol2tp_session_ioctl() uses the session's socket, we also need to take a reference on it in l2tp_session_get().

l2tp: fix race in l2tp_recv_common()

2017-04-02T03:16:41+00:00

Taking a reference on sessions in l2tp_recv_common() is racy; this has to be done by the callers. To this end, a new function is required (l2tp_session_get()) to atomically lookup a session and take a reference on it. Callers then have to manually drop this reference.
