Nowadays, nlmsg_multicast() returns only 0 or -ESRCH but this was not the
case when commit 134e63756d5f was pushed.
However, there was no reason to stop the loop if a netns does not have
listeners.
Returns -ESRCH only if there was no listeners in all netns.

To avoid having the same problem in the future, I didn't take the
assumption that nlmsg_multicast() returns only 0 or -ESRCH.

Currently, a nlmon link inside a child namespace can observe systemwide
netlink activity.  Filter the traffic so that nlmon can only sniff
netlink messages from its own netns.

Test case:

    vpnns -- bash -c "ip link add nlmon0 type nlmon; \
                      ip link set nlmon0 up; \
                      tcpdump -i nlmon0 -q -w /tmp/nlmon.pcap -U" &amp;

Subject: netlink: Annotate nlk cb_mutex by protocol

Currently all occurences of nlk-&gt;cb_mutex are annotated by lockdep
as a single class.  This causes a false lcokdep cycle involving
genl and crypto_user.

This patch fixes it by dividing cb_mutex into individual classes
based on the netlink protocol.  As genl and crypto_user do not
use the same netlink protocol this breaks the false dependency
loop.

The start callback allows the caller to set up a context for the
dump callbacks. Presumably, the context can then be destroyed in
the done callback.

<id>urn:sha1:1723ce9816ab84ab20a4307999085e776d8032b1</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 0642840b8bb008528dbdf929cec9f65ac4231ad0 ]

The way people generally use netlink_dump is that they fill in the skb
as much as possible, breaking when nla_put returns an error. Then, they
get called again and start filling out the next skb, and again, and so
forth. The mechanism at work here is the ability for the iterative
dumping function to detect when the skb is filled up and not fill it
past the brim, waiting for a fresh skb for the rest of the data.

However, if the attributes are small and nicely packed, it is possible
that a dump callback function successfully fills in attributes until the
skb is of size 4080 (libmnl's default page-sized receive buffer size).
The dump function completes, satisfied, and then, if it happens to be
that this is actually the last skb, and no further ones are to be sent,
then netlink_dump will add on the NLMSG_DONE part:

  nlh = nlmsg_put_answer(skb, cb, NLMSG_DONE, sizeof(len), NLM_F_MULTI);

It is very important that netlink_dump does this, of course. However, in
this example, that call to nlmsg_put_answer will fail, because the
previous filling by the dump function did not leave it enough room. And
how could it possibly have done so? All of the nla_put variety of
functions simply check to see if the skb has enough tailroom,
independent of the context it is in.

In order to keep the important assumptions of all netlink dump users, it
is therefore important to give them an skb that has this end part of the
tail already reserved, so that the call to nlmsg_put_answer does not
fail. Otherwise, library authors are forced to find some bizarre sized
receive buffer that has a large modulo relative to the common sizes of
messages received, which is ugly and buggy.

This patch thus saves the NLMSG_DONE for an additional message, for the
case that things are dangerously close to the brim. This requires
keeping track of the errno from -&gt;dump() across calls.

[ Upstream commit 92964c79b357efd980812c4de5c1fd2ec8bb5520 ]

When we free cb-&gt;skb after a dump, we do it after releasing the
lock.  This means that a new dump could have started in the time
being and we'll end up freeing their skb instead of ours.

This patch saves the skb and module before we unlock so we free
the right memory.

<title>netlink: don't send NETLINK_URELEASE for unbound sockets</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3254e46ceac3033a4f7b433d36e54da714a05bd8</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit e27260203912b40751fa353d009eaa5a642c739f ]

All existing users of NETLINK_URELEASE use it to clean up resources that
were previously allocated to a socket via some command. As a result, no
users require getting this notification for unbound sockets.

Sending it for unbound sockets, however, is a problem because any user
(including unprivileged users) can create a socket that uses the same ID
as an existing socket. Binding this new socket will fail, but if the
NETLINK_URELEASE notification is generated for such sockets, the users
thereof will be tricked into thinking the socket that they allocated the
resources for is closed.

In the nl80211 case, this will cause destruction of virtual interfaces
that still belong to an existing hostapd process; this is the case that
Dmitry noticed. In the NFC case, it will cause a poll abort. In the case
of netlink log/queue it will cause them to stop reporting events, as if
NFULNL_CFG_CMD_UNBIND/NFQNL_CFG_CMD_UNBIND had been called.

Fix this problem by checking that the socket is bound before generating
the NETLINK_URELEASE notification.
