drivers, net, ppp: convert asyncppp.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-10-22T01:22:39Z

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable asyncppp.refcnt is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. Suggested-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: David Windsor Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

networking: make skb_push & __skb_push return void pointers

2017-06-16T15:48:40Z

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *, and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not. Make these functions return void * and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the following spatch: @@ expression SKB, LEN; typedef u8; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; @@ - *(fn(SKB, LEN)) + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression E, SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; type T; @@ - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN))) + E = fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; @@ - fn(SKB, LEN)[0] + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) Note that the last part there converts from push(...)[0] to the more idiomatic *(u8 *)push(...).

networking: introduce and use skb_put_data()

2017-06-16T15:48:37Z

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy() some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for this. An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many of the places using it: @@ identifier p, p2; expression len, skb, data; type t, t2; @@ ( -p = skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len); | -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len); ) ( p2 = (t2)p; -memcpy(p2, data, len); | -memcpy(p, data, len); ) @@ type t, t2; identifier p, p2; expression skb, data; @@ t *p; ... ( -p = skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t)); | -p = (t *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t)); ) ( p2 = (t2)p; -memcpy(p2, data, sizeof(*p)); | -memcpy(p, data, sizeof(*p)); ) @@ expression skb, len, data; @@ -memcpy(skb_put(skb, len), data, len); +skb_put_data(skb, data, len); (again, manually post-processed to retain some comments) Reviewed-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

tty: Fix recursive deadlock in tty_perform_flush()

2013-03-18T23:52:24Z

tty_perform_flush() can deadlock when called while holding a line discipline reference. By definition, all ldisc drivers hold a ldisc reference, so calls originating from ldisc drivers must not block for a ldisc reference. The deadlock can occur when: CPU 0 | CPU 1 | tty_ldisc_ref(tty) | .... | tty_ldisc_ref_wait(tty) | | CPU 0 cannot progess because it cannot obtain an ldisc reference with the line discipline has been halted (thus no new references are granted). CPU 1 cannot progress because an outstanding ldisc reference has not been released. An in-tree call-tree audit of tty_perform_flush() [1] shows 5 ldisc drivers calling tty_perform_flush() indirectly via n_tty_ioctl_helper() and 2 ldisc drivers calling directly. A single tty driver safely uses the function. [1] Recursive usage: /* These functions are line discipline ioctls and thus * recursive wrt line discipline references */ tty_perform_flush() - ./drivers/tty/tty_ioctl.c n_tty_ioctl_helper() hci_uart_tty_ioctl(default) - drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c (N_HCI) n_hdlc_tty_ioctl(default) - drivers/tty/n_hdlc.c (N_HDLC) gsmld_ioctl(default) - drivers/tty/n_gsm.c (N_GSM0710) n_tty_ioctl(default) - drivers/tty/n_tty.c (N_TTY) gigaset_tty_ioctl(default) - drivers/isdn/gigaset/ser-gigaset.c (N_GIGASET_M101) ppp_synctty_ioctl(TCFLSH) - drivers/net/ppp/pps_synctty.c ppp_asynctty_ioctl(TCFLSH) - drivers/net/ppp/ppp_async.c Non-recursive use: tty_perform_flush() - drivers/tty/tty_ioctl.c ipw_ioctl(TCFLSH) - drivers/tty/ipwireless/tty.c /* This function is a tty i/o ioctl method, which * is invoked by tty_ioctl() */ Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ppp: Replace uses of with

2012-03-05T01:41:38Z

Since all that include/linux/if_ppp.h does is #include , this replaces the occurrences of #include with #include . It also corrects an error in Documentation/networking/l2tp.txt, where it referenced include/linux/if_ppp.h as the source of some definitions that are actually now defined in include/linux/if_pppol2tp.h.
