2021-03-16can: dev: Move device back to init netns on owning netns deleteMartin Willi
When a non-initial netns is destroyed, the usual policy is to delete all virtual network interfaces contained, but move physical interfaces back to the initial netns. This keeps the physical interface visible on the system. CAN devices are somewhat special, as they define rtnl_link_ops even if they are physical devices. If a CAN interface is moved into a non-initial netns, destroying that netns lets the interface vanish instead of moving it back to the initial netns. default_device_exit() skips CAN interfaces due to having rtnl_link_ops set. Reproducer: ip netns add foo ip link set can0 netns foo ip netns delete foo WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 84 at net/core/dev.c:11030 ops_exit_list+0x38/0x60 CPU: 1 PID: 84 Comm: kworker/u4:2 Not tainted 5.10.19 #1 Workqueue: netns cleanup_net [<c010e700>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<c010a1d8>] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) [<c010a1d8>] (show_stack) from [<c086dc10>] (dump_stack+0x94/0xa8) [<c086dc10>] (dump_stack) from [<c086b938>] (__warn+0xb8/0x114) [<c086b938>] (__warn) from [<c086ba10>] (warn_slowpath_fmt+0x7c/0xac) [<c086ba10>] (warn_slowpath_fmt) from [<c0629f20>] (ops_exit_list+0x38/0x60) [<c0629f20>] (ops_exit_list) from [<c062a5c4>] (cleanup_net+0x230/0x380) [<c062a5c4>] (cleanup_net) from [<c0142c20>] (process_one_work+0x1d8/0x438) [<c0142c20>] (process_one_work) from [<c0142ee4>] (worker_thread+0x64/0x5a8) [<c0142ee4>] (worker_thread) from [<c0148a98>] (kthread+0x148/0x14c) [<c0148a98>] (kthread) from [<c0100148>] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x2c) To properly restore physical CAN devices to the initial netns on owning netns exit, introduce a flag on rtnl_link_ops that can be set by drivers. For CAN devices setting this flag, default_device_exit() considers them non-virtual, applying the usual namespace move. The issue was introduced in the commit mentioned below, as at that time CAN devices did not have a dellink() operation. Fixes: e008b5fc8dc7 ("net: Simplfy default_device_exit and improve batching.")

2018-05-31rtnetlink: Remove VLA usageKees Cook
In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this allocates the maximum size expected for all possible types and adds sanity-checks at both registration and usage to make sure nothing gets out of sync. This matches the proposed VLA solution for nfnetlink[2]. The values chosen here were based on finding assignments for .maxtype and .slave_maxtype and manually counting the enums: slave_maxtype (max 33): IFLA_BRPORT_MAX 33 IFLA_BOND_SLAVE_MAX 9 maxtype (max 45): IFLA_BOND_MAX 28 IFLA_BR_MAX 45 __IFLA_CAIF_HSI_MAX 8 IFLA_CAIF_MAX 4 IFLA_CAN_MAX 16 IFLA_GENEVE_MAX 12 IFLA_GRE_MAX 25 IFLA_GTP_MAX 5 IFLA_HSR_MAX 7 IFLA_IPOIB_MAX 4 IFLA_IPTUN_MAX 21 IFLA_IPVLAN_MAX 3 IFLA_MACSEC_MAX 15 IFLA_MACVLAN_MAX 7 IFLA_PPP_MAX 2 __IFLA_RMNET_MAX 4 IFLA_VLAN_MAX 6 IFLA_VRF_MAX 2 IFLA_VTI_MAX 7 IFLA_VXLAN_MAX 28 VETH_INFO_MAX 2 VXCAN_INFO_MAX 2 This additionally changes maxtype and slave_maxtype fields to unsigned, since they're only ever using positive values.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-01-17net: AF-specific RTM_GETSTATS attributesRobert Shearman
Add the functionality for including address-family-specific per-link stats in RTM_GETSTATS messages. This is done through adding a new IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC attribute under which address family attributes are nested and then the AF-specific attributes can be further nested. This follows the model of IFLA_AF_SPEC on RTM_*LINK messages and it has the advantage of presenting an easily extended hierarchy. The rtnl_af_ops structure is extended to provide AFs with the opportunity to fill and provide the size of their stats attributes. One alternative would have been to provide AFs with the ability to add attributes directly into the RTM_GETSTATS message without a nested hierarchy. I discounted this approach as it increases the rate at which the 32 attribute number space is used up and it makes implementation a little more tricky for stats dump resuming (at the moment the order in which attributes are added to the message has to match the numeric order of the attributes). Another alternative would have been to register per-AF RTM_GETSTATS handlers. I discounted this approach as I perceived a common use-case to be getting all the stats for an interface and this approach would necessitate multiple requests/dumps to retrieve them all.

This patch adds support for the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS_SLAVE attribute which allows to export per-slave statistics if the master device supports the linkxstats callback. The attribute is passed down to the linkxstats callback and it is up to the callback user to use it (an example has been added to the only current user - the bridge). This allows us to query only specific slaves of master devices like bridge ports and export only what we're interested in instead of having to dump all ports and searching only for a single one. This will be used to export per-port IGMP/MLD stats and also per-port vlan stats in the future, possibly other statistics as well.

Also add that attribute to the idx mask check since it is expected to be able to save state and resume dumping (e.g. future bridge per-vlan stats will be dumped via this attribute and callbacks). Each link type should nest its private attributes under the per-link type attribute. This allows to have any number of separated private attributes and to avoid one call to get the dev link type.

2015-10-21netlink: Rightsize IFLA_AF_SPEC size calculationArad, Ronen
if_nlmsg_size() overestimates the minimum allocation size of netlink dump request (when called from rtnl_calcit()) or the size of the message (when called from rtnl_getlink()). This is because ext_filter_mask is not supported by rtnl_link_get_af_size() and rtnl_link_get_size(). The over-estimation is significant when at least one netdev has many VLANs configured (8 bytes for each configured VLAN). This patch-set "rightsizes" the protocol specific attribute size calculation by propagating ext_filter_mask to rtnl_link_get_af_size() and adding this a argument to get_link_af_size op in rtnl_af_ops. Bridge module already used filtering aware sizing for notifications. br_get_link_af_size_filtered() is consistent with the modified get_link_af_size op so it replaces br_get_link_af_size() in br_af_ops. br_get_link_af_size() becomes unused and thus removed.

2015-01-19rtnl: add link netns id to interface messagesNicolas Dichtel
This patch adds a new attribute (IFLA_LINK_NETNSID) which contains the 'link' netns id when this netns is different from the netns where the interface stands (for example for x-net interfaces like ip tunnels). With this attribute, it's possible to interpret correctly all advertised information (like IFLA_LINK, etc.). Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Recent patch bonding: add netlink attributes to slave link dev (1d3ee88ae0d6) Introduced yet another device specific way to access slave information over rtnetlink. There is one already there for bridge. This patch introduces generic way to do this, for getting and setting info as well by extending link_ops. Later on, this new interface will be used for bridge ports as well. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2013-09-23rtnetlink.h: Remove extern from function prototypesJoe Perches
There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

2012-11-30rtnelink: remove unused parameter from rtnl_create_link().Rami Rosen
This patch removes an unused parameter (src_net) from rtnl_create_link() method and from the method single invocation, in veth. This parameter was used in the past when calling ops->get_tx_queues(src_net, tb) in rtnl_create_link(). The get_tx_queues() member of rtnl_link_ops was replaced by two methods, get_num_tx_queues() and get_num_rx_queues(), which do not get any parameter. This was done in commit d40156aa5ecbd51fed932ed4813df82b56e5ff4d by Jiri Pirko ("rtnl: allow to specify different num for rx and tx queue count").

2012-02-21rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocationGreg Rose
Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application. At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information about the VFs belonging to the interface. This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions. Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel. Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE. With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible in the future.

2011-06-09rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump sizeGreg Rose
The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface. Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate enough data to satisfy the request.
