Phonet: provide pipe socket option to retrieve the pipe identifier

User-space sometimes needs this information. In particular, the GPRS
context or the AT commands pipe setups may use the pipe handle as a
reference.

This removes the settable pipe handle with CONFIG_PHONET_PIPECTRLR.
It did not handle error cases correctly. Furthermore, the kernel
*could* implement a smart scheme for allocating handles (if ever
needed), but userspace really cannot.

inetpeer: seqlock optimization

David noticed :

------------------
Eric, I was profiling the non-routing-cache case and something that
stuck out is the case of calling inet_getpeer() with create==0.

If an entry is not found, we have to redo the lookup under a spinlock
to make certain that a concurrent writer rebalancing the tree does
not "hide" an existing entry from us.

This makes the case of a create==0 lookup for a not-present entry
really expensive.  It is on the order of 600 cpu cycles on my
Niagara2.

I added a hack to not do the relookup under the lock when create==0
and it now costs less than 300 cycles.

This is now a pretty common operation with the way we handle COW'd
metrics, so I think it's definitely worth optimizing.
-----------------

One solution is to use a seqlock instead of a spinlock to protect struct
inet_peer_base.

After a failed avl tree lookup, we can easily detect if a writer did
some changes during our lookup. Taking the lock and redo the lookup is

sfc: Use write-combining to reduce TX latency

Based on work by Neil Turton <nturton@solarflare.com> and
Kieran Mansley <kmansley@solarflare.com>.

The BIU has now been verified to handle 3- and 4-dword writes within a
single 128-bit register correctly.  This means we can enable write-
combining and only insert write barriers between writes to distinct
registers.

This has been observed to save about 0.5 us when pushing a TX
descriptor to an empty TX queue.

13 years agoDNS: Fix a NULL pointer deref when trying to read an error key [CVE-2011-1076]
David Howells [Thu, 3 Mar 2011 11:28:58 +0000 (11:28 +0000)]
DNS: Fix a NULL pointer deref when trying to read an error key [CVE-2011-1076]

When a DNS resolver key is instantiated with an error indication, attempts to
read that key will result in an oops because user_read() is expecting there to
be a payload - and there isn't one [CVE-2011-1076].

Give the DNS resolver key its own read handler that returns the error cached in
key->type_data.x[0] as an error rather than crashing.

Also make the kenter() at the beginning of dns_resolver_instantiate() limit the
amount of data it prints, since the data is not necessarily NUL-terminated.

The buggy code was added in:

commit 4a2d789267e00b5a1175ecd2ddefcc78b83fbf09
Author: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Aug 11 09:37:58 2010 +0100
Subject: DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2]

This can trivially be reproduced by any user with the following program
compiled with -lkeyutils:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <keyutils.h>
#include <err.h>
static char payload[] = "#dnserror=6";
int main()
{
key_serial_t key;
key = add_key("dns_resolver", "a", payload, sizeof(payload),
      KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING);
if (key == -1)
err(1, "add_key");
if (keyctl_read(key, NULL, 0) == -1)
err(1, "read_key");
return 0;
}

What should happen is that keyctl_read() reports error 6 (ENXIO) to the user:

dns-break: read_key: No such device or address

but instead the kernel oopses.

This cannot be reproduced with the 'keyutils add' or 'keyutils padd' commands
as both of those cut the data down below the NUL termination that must be
included in the data.  Without this dns_resolver_instantiate() will return
-EINVAL and the key will not be instantiated such that it can be read.

The oops looks like:
