2021-02-04	netlink: add tracepoint at NL_SET_ERR_MSG	Marcelo Ricardo Leitner
	Often userspace won't request the extack information, or they don't log it because of log level or so, and even when they do, sometimes it's not enough to know exactly what caused the error. Netlink extack is the standard way of reporting erros with descriptive error messages. With a trace point on it, we then can know exactly where the error happened, regardless of userspace app. Also, we can even see if the err msg was overwritten. The wrapper do_trace_netlink_extack() is because trace points shouldn't be called from .h files, as trace points are not that small, and the function call to do_trace_netlink_extack() on the macros is not protected by tracepoint_enabled() because the macros are called from modules, and this would require exporting some trace structs. As this is error path, it's better to export just the wrapper instead. v2: removed leftover tracepoint declaration Signed-off-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/4546b63e67b2989789d146498b13cc09e1fdc543.1612403190.git.marcelo.leitner@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
2020-10-21	rtnetlink: fix data overflow in rtnl_calcit()	Di Zhu
	"ip addr show" command execute error when we have a physical network card with a large number of VFs The return value of if_nlmsg_size() in rtnl_calcit() will exceed range of u16 data type when any network cards has a larger number of VFs. rtnl_vfinfo_size() will significant increase needed dump size when the value of num_vfs is larger. Eventually we get a wrong value of min_ifinfo_dump_size because of overflow which decides the memory size needed by netlink dump and netlink_dump() will return -EMSGSIZE because of not enough memory was allocated. So fix it by promoting min_dump_alloc data type to u32 to avoid whole netlink message size overflow and it's also align with the data type of struct netlink_callback{}.min_dump_alloc which is assigned by return value of rtnl_calcit() Signed-off-by: Di Zhu <zhudi21@huawei.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201021020053.1401-1-zhudi21@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
2020-10-09	netlink: export policy in extended ACK	Johannes Berg
	Add a new attribute NLMSGERR_ATTR_POLICY to the extended ACK to advertise the policy, e.g. if an attribute was out of range, you'll know the range that's permissible. Add new NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR_POL() and NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR_POL() macros to set this, since realistically it's only useful to do this when the bad attribute (offset) is also returned. Use it in lib/nlattr.c which practically does all the policy validation. v2: - add and use netlink_policy_dump_attr_size_estimate() v3: - remove redundant break v4: - really remove redundant break ... sorry Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
