net: validate veth and vxcan peer ifindexes

2023-08-20T10:40:03Z

veth and vxcan need to make sure the ifindexes of the peer are not negative, core does not validate this. Using iproute2 with user-space-level checking removed: Before: # ./ip link add index 10 type veth peer index -1 # ip link show 1: lo: mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: enp1s0: mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:74:b2:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 10: veth1@veth0: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 8a:90:ff:57:6d:5d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff -1: veth0@veth1: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether ae:ed:18:e6:fa:7f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Now: $ ./ip link add index 10 type veth peer index -1 Error: ifindex can't be negative. This problem surfaced in net-next because an explicit WARN() was added, the root cause is older. Fixes: e6f8f1a739b6 ("veth: Allow to create peer link with given ifindex") Fixes: a8f820a380a2 ("can: add Virtual CAN Tunnel driver (vxcan)") Reported-by: syzbot+5ba06978f34abb058571@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

rtnetlink: Honour NLM_F_ECHO flag in rtnl_delete_link

2022-11-01T01:10:21Z

This patch use the new helper unregister_netdevice_many_notify() for rtnl_delete_link(), so that the kernel could reply unicast when userspace set NLM_F_ECHO flag to request the new created interface info. At the same time, the parameters of rtnl_delete_link() need to be updated since we need nlmsghdr and portid info.

rtnetlink: pass netlink message header and portid to rtnl_configure_link()

2022-11-01T01:10:21Z

This patch pass netlink message header and portid to rtnl_configure_link() All the functions in this call chain need to add the parameters so we can use them in the last call rtnl_notify(), and notify the userspace about the new link info if NLM_F_ECHO flag is set. - rtnl_configure_link() - __dev_notify_flags() - rtmsg_ifinfo() - rtmsg_ifinfo_event() - rtmsg_ifinfo_build_skb() - rtmsg_ifinfo_send() - rtnl_notify() Also move __dev_notify_flags() declaration to net/core/dev.h, as Jakub suggested.

net: rtnetlink: add bulk delete support flag

2022-04-13T11:46:26Z

Add a new rtnl flag (RTNL_FLAG_BULK_DEL_SUPPORTED) which is used to verify that the delete operation allows bulk object deletion. Also emit a warning if anyone tries to set it for non-delete kind. Suggested-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: add extack arg for link ops

2021-08-04T09:01:26Z

Pass extack arg to validate_linkmsg and validate_link_af callbacks. If a netlink attribute has a reject_message, use the extended ack mechanism to carry the message back to user space. Signed-off-by: Rocco Yue Reviewed-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: add alloc() method to rtnl_link_ops

2021-06-12T20:16:45Z

In order to make rtnetlink ops that can create different kinds of devices, like what we want to add to the WWAN framework, the priv_size and setup parameters aren't quite sufficient. Make this easier to manage by allowing ops to allocate their own netdev via an @alloc method that gets the tb netlink data.

Setting iftoken can fail for several different reasons but there and there was no report to user as to the cause. Add netlink extended errors to the processing of the request.
