2021-01-26wext: fix NULL-ptr-dereference with cfg80211's lack of commit()Johannes Berg1-2/+3
Since cfg80211 doesn't implement commit, we never really cared about that code there (and it's configured out w/o CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT). After all, since it has no commit, it shouldn't return -EIWCOMMIT to indicate commit is needed. However, EIWCOMMIT is actually an alias for EINPROGRESS, which _can_ happen if e.g. we try to change the frequency but we're already in the process of connecting to some network, and drivers could return that value (or even cfg80211 itself might). This then causes us to crash because dev->wireless_handlers is NULL but we try to check dev->wireless_handlers->standard[0]. Fix this by also checking dev->wireless_handlers. Also simplify the code a little bit.

After the introduction of CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3, the wext code produces a bogus warning: In function 'iw_handler_get_iwstats', inlined from 'ioctl_standard_call' at net/wireless/wext-core.c:1015:9, inlined from 'wireless_process_ioctl' at net/wireless/wext-core.c:935:10, inlined from 'wext_ioctl_dispatch.part.8' at net/wireless/wext-core.c:986:8, inlined from 'wext_handle_ioctl': net/wireless/wext-core.c:671:3: error: argument 1 null where non-null expected [-Werror=nonnull] memcpy(extra, stats, sizeof(struct iw_statistics)); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from arch/x86/include/asm/string.h:5, net/wireless/wext-core.c: In function 'wext_handle_ioctl': arch/x86/include/asm/string_64.h:14:14: note: in a call to function 'memcpy' declared here The problem is that ioctl_standard_call() sometimes calls the handler with a NULL argument that would cause a problem for iw_handler_get_iwstats.

2018-03-29net: Don't take rtnl_lock() in wireless_nlevent_flush()Kirill Tkhai1-4/+0
This function iterates over net_namespace_list and flushes the queue for every of them. What does this rtnl_lock() protects?! Since we may add skbs to net::wext_nlevents without rtnl_lock(), it does not protects us about queuers. It guarantees, two threads can't flush the queue in parallel, that can change the order, but since skb can be queued in any order, it doesn't matter, how many threads do this in parallel. In case of several threads, this will be even faster. So, we can remove rtnl_lock() here, as it was used for iteration over net_namespace_list only.

2018-03-29net: Introduce net_rwsem to protect net_namespace_listKirill Tkhai1-0/+2
rtnl_lock() is used everywhere, and contention is very high. When someone wants to iterate over alive net namespaces, he/she has no a possibility to do that without exclusive lock. But the exclusive rtnl_lock() in such places is overkill, and it just increases the contention. Yes, there is already for_each_net_rcu() in kernel, but it requires rcu_read_lock(), and this can't be sleepable. Also, sometimes it may be need really prevent net_namespace_list growth, so for_each_net_rcu() is not fit there. This patch introduces new rw_semaphore, which will be used instead of rtnl_mutex to protect net_namespace_list. It is sleepable and allows not-exclusive iterations over net namespaces list. It allows to stop using rtnl_lock() in several places (what is made in next patches) and makes less the time, we keep rtnl_mutex. Here we just add new lock, while the explanation of we can remove rtnl_lock() there are in next patches. Fine grained locks generally are better, then one big lock, so let's do that with net_namespace_list, while the situation allows that.

2017-06-14dev_ioctl: copy only the smaller struct iwreq for wextJohannes Berg1-3/+3
Unfortunately, struct iwreq isn't a proper subset of struct ifreq, but is still handled by the same code path. Robert reported that then applications may (randomly) fault if the struct iwreq they pass happens to land within 8 bytes of the end of a mapping (the struct is only 32 bytes, vs. struct ifreq's 40 bytes). To fix this, pull out the code handling wireless extension ioctls and copy only the smaller structure in this case. This bug goes back a long time, I tracked that it was introduced into mainline in 2.1.15, over 20 years ago!

2016-08-08Revert "wext: Fix 32 bit iwpriv compatibility issue with 64 bit Kernel"Johannes Berg1-23/+2
This reverts commit 3d5fdff46c4b2b9534fa2f9fc78e90a48e0ff724. Ben Hutchings pointed out that the commit isn't safe since it assumes that the structure used by the driver is iw_point, when in fact there's no way to know about that. Fortunately, the only driver in the tree that ever runs this code path is the wilc1000 staging driver, so it doesn't really matter. Clearly I should have investigated this better before applying, sorry.

2016-06-09wext: Fix 32 bit iwpriv compatibility issue with 64 bit KernelPrasun Maiti1-2/+23
iwpriv app uses iw_point structure to send data to Kernel. The iw_point structure holds a pointer. For compatibility Kernel converts the pointer as required for WEXT IOCTLs (SIOCIWFIRST to SIOCIWLAST). Some drivers may use iw_handler_def.private_args to populate iwpriv commands instead of iw_handler_def.private. For those case, the IOCTLs from SIOCIWFIRSTPRIV to SIOCIWLASTPRIV will follow the path ndo_do_ioctl(). Accordingly when the filled up iw_point structure comes from 32 bit iwpriv to 64 bit Kernel, Kernel will not convert the pointer and sends it to driver. So, the driver may get the invalid data. The pointer conversion for the IOCTLs (SIOCIWFIRSTPRIV to SIOCIWLASTPRIV), which follow the path ndo_do_ioctl(), is mandatory. This patch adds pointer conversion from 32 bit to 64 bit and vice versa, if the ioctl comes from 32 bit iwpriv to 64 bit Kernel.

2016-01-29cfg80211/wext: fix message orderingJohannes Berg1-1/+2
Since cfg80211 frequently takes actions from its netdev notifier call, wireless extensions messages could still be ordered badly since the wext netdev notifier, since wext is built into the kernel, runs before the cfg80211 netdev notifier. For example, the following can happen: 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> link/ether when setting the interface down causes the wext message. To also fix this, export the wireless_nlevent_flush() function and also call it from the cfg80211 notifier. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2016-01-29wext: fix message delay/orderingJohannes Berg1-11/+40
Beniamino reported that he was getting an RTM_NEWLINK message for a given interface, after the RTM_DELLINK for it. It turns out that the message is a wireless extensions message, which was sent because the interface had been connected and disconnection while it was deleted caused a wext message. For its netlink messages, wext uses RTM_NEWLINK, but the message is without all the regular rtnetlink attributes, so "ip monitor link" prints just rudimentary information: 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Deleted 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> link/ether (from my hwsim reproduction) This can cause userspace to get confused since it doesn't expect an RTM_NEWLINK message after RTM_DELLINK. The reason for this is that wext schedules a worker to send out the messages, and the scheduling delay can cause the messages to get out to userspace in different order. To fix this, have wext register a netdevice notifier and flush out any pending messages when netdevice state changes. This fixes any ordering whenever the original message wasn't sent by a notifier itself.

2010-08-30wireless extensions: fix kernel heap content leakJohannes Berg1-0/+16
Wireless extensions have an unfortunate, undocumented requirement which requires drivers to always fill iwp->length when returning a successful status. When a driver doesn't do this, it leads to a kernel heap content leak when userspace offers a larger buffer than would have been necessary. Arguably, this is a driver bug, as it should, if it returns 0, fill iwp->length, even if it separately indicated that the buffer contents was not valid. However, we can also at least avoid the memory content leak if the driver doesn't do this by setting the iwp length to max_tokens, which then reflects how big the buffer is that the driver may fill, regardless of how big the userspace buffer is. To illustrate the point, this patch also fixes a corresponding cfg80211 bug (since this requirement isn't documented nor was ever pointed out by anyone during code review, I don't trust all drivers nor all cfg80211 handlers to implement it correctly).

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
