firewire: cdev: secure add_descriptor ioctl

The access permissions and ownership or ACL of /dev/fw* character device
files will typically be set based on the device type of the respective
nodes, as obtained by firewire-core from descriptors in the device's
configuration ROM.  An example policy is to deny write permission by
default but grant write permission to files of AV/C video and audio
devices and IIDC video devices.

The FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR ioctl could be used to partly subvert
such a policy:  Find a device file with relaxed permissions, use the
ioctl to add a descriptor with AV/C marker to the local node's ROM, thus
gain access to the local node's character device file.  (This is only
possible if there are udev scripts installed which actively relax
permissions for known device types and if there is a device of such a
type connected.)

Accessibility of the local node's device file is relevant to host
security if the host contains two or more IEEE 1394 link layer
controllers which are plugged into a single bus.

Therefore change the ABI to deny FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR if the file
belongs to a remote node.  (This change has no impact on known
implementers of the ABI:  None of them uses the ioctl yet.)

Also clarify the documentation:  The ioctl affects all local nodes, not
just one local node.

15 years agofirewire: prevent creation of multiple IR DMA contexts for the same channel
Stefan Richter [Sun, 21 Dec 2008 15:39:46 +0000 (16:39 +0100)]
firewire: prevent creation of multiple IR DMA contexts for the same channel

OHCI-1394 1.1 clause 10.4.3 says:  "If more than one IR DMA context
specifies receives for packets from the same isochronous channel, the
context destination for that channel's packets is undefined."

Any userspace client and in the future also kernelspace clients can
allocate IR DMA contexts for any channel.  We don't want them to
interfere with each other, hence it is preferable to return -EBUSY if
allocation of a second context for a channel is attempted.

Notes:
  - This limitation is OHCI-1394 specific, therefore its proper place of
    implementation is down in the low-level driver.

  - Since the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI simply maps one userspace iso
    client context to one hardware iso context, this OHCI-1394
    limitation alas requires userspace to implement its own multiplexing
    of iso reception from the same channel and card to multiple clients
    when needed.

  - The limitation is independent of channel allocation at the IRM; the
    latter is really only important for the initiation of iso
    transmission but not of iso reception.

  - We don't need to do the same for IT DMA because OHCI-1394 does not
    have any ties between IT contexts and channels.  Only the voluntary
    channel allocation protocol via the IRM, globally to the FireWire
    bus, can ensure proper isochronous transmit behaviour anyway.

  Bug-Entry       : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208
  Subject         : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host

This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
changes.

The problem is this:

 - task A is ptracing task B
 - task B stops on a trace event
 - task A is woken up and preempts task B
 - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
 - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
 - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
 - ...

Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.

This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.

eCryptfs: Allocate a variable number of pages for file headers

When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a
single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page().
However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or
ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is
stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front
field.

ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using
num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to
the lower filesystem for the file header.  Unfortunately, at least 8K
was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single,
zeroed page being smaller than 8K.  This resulted in random areas of
kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets
in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K.

This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with
num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages
along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents().

Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with
me to find the problem.  2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this
vulnerability.  Corresponds to CVE-2009-0787

every time the interface is brought up, instead of only when the module

Without this patch the adjust_link function never updates the hardware
after an ifconfig down; ifconfig up.  On a full duplex link this causes
the tx error counter to increment, even though packets are correctly
transmitted, as the default MAC_CR register setting is for half duplex.

The tx errors are "no carrier" errors, which should be ignored in
full-duplex mode.  When MAC_CR is set to "full duplex" mode they are
correctly ignored by the hardware.

Note that even with this patch the tx error counter can increment if
packets are transmitted between "ifconfig up" and the first phy poll
interval.  An improved solution would use the phy interrupt with phylib,

tulip: fix crash on iface up with shirq debug

Tulip is currently doing request_irq before it has done its
initialization. This is usually not a problem because it hasn't
enable interrupts yet, but with DEBUG_SHIRQ on, we call the irq handler
when registering the interrupt as a sanity check.

This can result in a NULL ptr dereference, so call tulip_init_ring
before request_irq, and add a free_ring function to do the freeing
now shared with tulip_close.

Tested with a shell loop running ifup, ifdown in a loop a few hundred
times with DEBUG_SHIRQ on.

virtio_net: Make virtio_net support carrier detection

Impact: Make NetworkManager work with virtio_net

For now the semantics are simple: There is always carrier.

This allows a seamless experience with e.g., qemu/kvm
where NetworkManager just configures and sets up
everything automagically.

If/when a generally agreed-upon way to control
carrier on/off in the emulator/hypervisor level
emerges, it will be trivial to extend the driver
to support that too, but for now even this 2-liner
makes user experience that much better.

This patch corrects an omission from the following commit:

commit f0c76d61779b153dbfb955db3f144c62d02173c2
Author: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com>
Date:   Wed Jul 2 18:21:58 2008 -0700

The un-refactored code checked the link speed and duplex of
every slave on every pass; the refactored code did not do so.

The 802.3ad and balance-alb/tlb modes utilize the speed and
duplex information, and require it to be kept up to date.  This patch
adds a notifier check to perform the appropriate updating when the slave
device speed changes.

bnx2: Fix problem of using wrong IRQ handler.

The MSI-X handler was chosen before the call to pci_enable_msix().
If MSI-X was not available, the wrong MSI-X handler would be used in
INTA mode.  This would cause a screaming interrupt problem because
INTA would not be cleared by the MSI-X handler.

Fixed by assigning MSI-X handler after pci_enable_msix() returns
successfully.  Also update version to 1.9.3.

Thomas Chenault <thomas_chenault@dell.com> helped us find this problem.
