netlink: Add field to skip in-kernel notifications

2019-06-18T16:45:36Z

The struct includes a 'skip_notify' flag that indicates if netlink notifications to user space should be suppressed. As explained in commit 3b1137fe7482 ("net: ipv6: Change notifications for multipath add to RTA_MULTIPATH"), this is useful to suppress per-nexthop RTM_NEWROUTE notifications when an IPv6 multipath route is added / deleted. Instead, one notification is sent for the entire multipath route. This concept is also useful for in-kernel notifications. Sending one in-kernel notification for the addition / deletion of an IPv6 multipath route - instead of one per-nexthop - provides a significant increase in the insertion / deletion rate to underlying devices. Add a 'skip_notify_kernel' flag to suppress in-kernel notifications. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel Acked-by: Jiri Pirko Reviewed-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

nl80211: require and validate vendor command policy

2019-06-14T12:12:01Z

Require that each vendor command give a policy of its sub-attributes in NL80211_ATTR_VENDOR_DATA, and then (stricly) check the contents, including the NLA_F_NESTED flag that we couldn't check on the outer layer because there we don't know yet. It is possible to use VENDOR_CMD_RAW_DATA for raw data, but then no nested data can be given (NLA_F_NESTED flag must be clear) and the data is just passed as is to the command.

netlink: add validation of NLA_F_NESTED flag

Add new validation flag NL_VALIDATE_NESTED which adds three consistency checks of NLA_F_NESTED_FLAG: - the flag is set on attributes with NLA_NESTED{,_ARRAY} policy - the flag is not set on attributes with other policies except NLA_UNSPEC - the flag is set on attribute passed to nla_parse_nested() Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek v2: change error messages to mention NLA_F_NESTED explicitly Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg Reviewed-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S.

netlink: add strict parsing for future attributes

2019-04-27T21:07:22Z

Unfortunately, we cannot add strict parsing for all attributes, as that would break existing userspace. We currently warn about it, but that's about all we can do. For new attributes, however, the story is better: nobody is using them, so we can reject bad sizes. Also, for new attributes, we need not accept them when the policy doesn't declare their usage. David Ahern and I went back and forth on how to best encode this, and the best way we found was to have a "boundary type", from which point on new attributes have all possible validation applied, and NLA_UNSPEC is rejected. As we didn't want to add another argument to all functions that get a netlink policy, the workaround is to encode that boundary in the first entry of the policy array (which is for type 0 and thus probably not really valid anyway). I put it into the validation union for the rare possibility that somebody is actually using attribute 0, which would continue to work fine unless they tried to use the extended validation, which isn't likely. We also didn't find any in-tree users with type 0. The reason for setting the "start strict here" attribute is that we never really need to start strict from 0, which is invalid anyway (or in legacy families where that isn't true, it cannot be set to strict), so we can thus reserve the value 0 for "don't do this check" and don't have to add the tag to all policies right now. Thus, policies can now opt in to this validation, which we should do for all existing policies, at least when adding new attributes. Note that entirely *new* policies won't need to set it, as the use of that should be using nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc. which anyway do fully strict validation now, regardless of this. So in effect, this patch only covers the "existing command with new attribute" case. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: re-add parse/validate functions in strict mode

2019-04-27T21:07:22Z

This re-adds the parse and validate functions like nla_parse() that are now actually strict after the previous rename and were just split out to make sure everything is converted (and if not compilation of the previous patch would fail.) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: make validation more configurable for future strictness

2019-04-27T21:07:21Z

We currently have two levels of strict validation: 1) liberal (default) - undefined (type >= max) & NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted - attribute length >= expected accepted - garbage at end of message accepted 2) strict (opt-in) - NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted - attribute length >= expected accepted Split out parsing strictness into four different options: * TRAILING - check that there's no trailing data after parsing attributes (in message or nested) * MAXTYPE - reject attrs > max known type * UNSPEC - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries * STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size The default for future things should be *everything*. The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE, and is renamed to _deprecated_strict(). The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to *_parse_deprecated(). Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply to the POLICY flag. We end up with the following renames: * nla_parse -> nla_parse_deprecated * nla_parse_strict -> nla_parse_deprecated_strict * nlmsg_parse -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated * nlmsg_parse_strict -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict * nla_parse_nested -> nla_parse_nested_deprecated * nla_validate_nested -> nla_validate_nested_deprecated Using spatch, of course: @@ expression TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT; @@ -nla_parse(TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT) +nla_parse_deprecated(TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT) @@ expression NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT; @@ -nlmsg_parse(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT) +nlmsg_parse_deprecated(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT) @@ expression NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT; @@ -nlmsg_parse_strict(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT) +nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT) @@ expression TB, MAX, NLA, POL, EXT; @@ -nla_parse_nested(TB, MAX, NLA, POL, EXT) +nla_parse_nested_deprecated(TB, MAX, NLA, POL, EXT) @@ expression START, MAX, POL, EXT; @@ -nla_validate_nested(START, MAX, POL, EXT) +nla_validate_nested_deprecated(START, MAX, POL, EXT) @@ expression NLH, HDRLEN, MAX, POL, EXT; @@ -nlmsg_validate(NLH, HDRLEN, MAX, POL, EXT) +nlmsg_validate_deprecated(NLH, HDRLEN, MAX, POL, EXT) For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong. Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication. Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is. In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: make nla_nest_start() add NLA_F_NESTED flag

2019-04-27T21:03:44Z

Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display the structure of their contents. Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start() as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually are rewritten to use nla_nest_start(). Except for changes in include/net/netlink.h, the patch was generated using this semantic patch: @@ expression E1, E2; @@ -nla_nest_start(E1, E2) +nla_nest_start_noflag(E1, E2) @@ expression E1, E2; @@ -nla_nest_start_noflag(E1, E2 | NLA_F_NESTED) +nla_nest_start(E1, E2) Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek Acked-by: Jiri Pirko Acked-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S.
