rtnetlink: fix error return code in rtnl_link_fill()

2013-03-27T18:06:40Z

Fix to return a negative error code from the error handling case instead of 0(possible overwrite to 0 by ops->fill_xstats call), as returned elsewhere in this function. Signed-off-by: Wei Yongjun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: Mask the rta_type when range checking

2013-03-17T15:43:40Z

Range/validity checks on rta_type in rtnetlink_rcv_msg() do not account for flags that may be set. This causes the function to return -EINVAL when flags are set on the type (for example NLA_F_NESTED). Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Acked-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnl: fix info leak on RTM_GETLINK request for VF devices

2013-03-10T09:19:26Z

Initialize the mac address buffer with 0 as the driver specific function will probably not fill the whole buffer. In fact, all in-kernel drivers fill only ETH_ALEN of the MAX_ADDR_LEN bytes, i.e. 6 of the 32 possible bytes. Therefore we currently leak 26 bytes of stack memory to userland via the netlink interface. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators

2013-02-28T03:10:24Z

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin Acked-by: Paul E.

bridge: Add vlan support to static neighbors

2013-02-14T00:42:16Z

When a user adds bridge neighbors, allow him to specify VLAN id. If the VLAN id is not specified, the neighbor will be added for VLANs currently in the ports filter list. If no VLANs are configured on the port, we use vlan 0 and only add 1 entry. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Acked-by: Jitendra Kalsaria Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: Dump vlan information from a bridge port

2013-02-14T00:41:46Z

Using the RTM_GETLINK dump the vlan filter list of a given bridge port. The information depends on setting the filter flag similar to how nic VF info is dumped. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: Add netlink interface to configure vlans on bridge ports

2013-02-14T00:41:46Z

Add a netlink interface to add and remove vlan configuration on bridge port. The interface uses the RTM_SETLINK message and encodes the vlan configuration inside the IFLA_AF_SPEC. It is possble to include multiple vlans to either add or remove in a single message. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netns: fdb: allow unprivileged users to add/del fdb entries

2013-02-04T18:12:16Z

Right now,only ixgdb,macvlan,vxlan and bridge implement fdb_add/fdb_del operations. these operations only operate the private data of net device. So allowing the unprivileged users who creates the userns and netns to add/del fdb entries will do no harm to other netns. Signed-off-by: Gao feng Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: set addr_assign_type to NET_ADDR_SET when addr is passed on create

2013-01-07T05:05:02Z

In case user passed address via netlink during create, NET_ADDR_PERM was set. That is not correct so fix this by setting NET_ADDR_SET. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
