netns: provide pure entropy for net_hash_mix()

2019-03-29T00:00:45Z

net_hash_mix() currently uses kernel address of a struct net, and is used in many places that could be used to reveal this address to a patient attacker, thus defeating KASLR, for the typical case (initial net namespace, &init_net is not dynamically allocated) I believe the original implementation tried to avoid spending too many cycles in this function, but security comes first. Also provide entropy regardless of CONFIG_NET_NS.

net: xsk: track AF_XDP sockets on a per-netns list

2019-01-25T00:50:03Z

Track each AF_XDP socket in a per-netns list. This will be used later by the sock_diag interface for querying sockets from userspace. Signed-off-by: Björn Töpel Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

flow_dissector: implements flow dissector BPF hook

2018-09-14T19:04:33Z

Adds a hook for programs of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_FLOW_DISSECTOR and attach type BPF_FLOW_DISSECTOR that is executed in the flow dissector path. The BPF program is per-network namespace. Signed-off-by: Petar Penkov Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov

net: create reusable function for getting ownership info of sysfs inodes

2018-07-21T06:44:36Z

Make net_ns_get_ownership() reusable by networking code outside of core. This is useful, for example, to allow bridge related sysfs files to be owned by container root. Add a function comment since this is a potentially dangerous function to use given the way that kobject_get_ownership() works by initializing uid and gid before calling .get_ownership().

netfilter: ipv6: nf_defrag: reduce struct net memory waste

2018-06-18T12:13:25Z

It is a waste of memory to use a full "struct netns_sysctl_ipv6" while only one pointer is really used, considering netns_sysctl_ipv6 keeps growing. Also, since "struct netns_frags" has cache line alignment, it is better to move the frags_hdr pointer outside, otherwise we spend a full cache line for this pointer. This saves 192 bytes of memory per netns. Fixes: c038a767cd69 ("ipv6: add a new namespace for nf_conntrack_reasm") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

net: Introduce net_rwsem to protect net_namespace_list

2018-03-29T17:47:53Z

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. Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Rename net_sem to pernet_ops_rwsem

net_sem is some undefined area name, so it will be better to make the area more defined. Rename it to pernet_ops_rwsem for better readability and better intelligibility. Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: add uevent socket member

2018-03-22T15:16:42Z

This commit adds struct uevent_sock to struct net. Since struct uevent_sock records the position of the uevent socket in the uevent socket list we can trivially remove it from the uevent socket list during cleanup. This speeds up the old removal codepath. Note, list_del() will hit __list_del_entry_valid() in its call chain which will validate that the element is a member of the list. If it isn't it will take care that the list is not modified. Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
