      hci_ldisc: fix null pointer deref · 3611f4d2
      David Newall 提交于
      Arjan:
      
        With the help of kerneloops.org I've spotted a nice little interaction
        between the TTY layer and the bluetooth code, however the tty layer is not
        something I'm all too familiar with so I rather ask than brute-force fix the
        code incorrectly.
      
        The raw details are at:
        http://www.kerneloops.org/search.php?search=uart_flush_buffer
      
        What happens is that, on closing the bluetooth tty, the tty layer goes
        into the release_dev() function, which first does a bunch of stuff, then
        sets the file->private_data to NULL, does some more stuff and then calls the
        ldisc close function.  Which in this case, is hci_uart_tty_close().
      
        Now, hci_uart_tty_close() calls hci_uart_close() which clears some
        internal bit, and then calls hci_uart_flush()...  which calls back to the
        tty layers' uart_flush_buffer() function.  (in drivers/bluetooth/hci_tty.c
        around line 194) Which then WARN_ON()'s because that's not allowed/supposed
        to be called this late in the shutdown of the port....
      
        Should the bluetooth driver even call this flush function at all??
      
      David:
      
        This seems to be what happens: Hci_uart_close() flushes using
        hci_uart_flush().  Subsequently, in hci_dev_do_close(), (one step in
        hci_unregister_dev()), hci_uart_flush() is called again.  The comment in
        uart_flush_buffer(), relating to the WARN_ON(), indicates you can't flush
        after the port is closed; which sounds reasonable.  I think hci_uart_close()
        should set hdev->flush to NULL before returning.  Hci_dev_do_close() does
        check for this.  The code path is rather involved and I'm not entirely clear
        of all steps, but I think that's what should be done.

      Jarek Poplawski 提交于
      According to one of Jann's OOPS reports it looks like
      BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer)) triggers during add_timer()
      in ax25_start_t1timer(). This patch changes current use
      of: init_timer(), add_timer() and del_timer() to
      setup_timer() with mod_timer(), which should be safer
      anyway.

      This lockdep report shows that ax25_route_lock is taken for reading in
      softirq context, and for writing in process context with BHs enabled.
      So, to make this safe, all write_locks in ax25_route.c are changed to
      _bh versions.

      shows that ax25_list_lock and slock-AF_AX25 are taken in different
      order: ax25_info_show() takes slock (bh_lock_sock(ax25->sk)) while
      ax25_list_lock is held, so reversely to other functions. To fix this
      the sock lock should be moved to ax25_info_start(), and there would
      be still problem with breaking ax25_list_lock (it seems this "proper"
      order isn't optimal yet). But, since it's only for reading proc info
      it seems this is not necessary (e.g.  ax25_send_to_raw() does similar
      reading without this lock too).
      
      So, this patch removes sock lock to avoid deadlock possibility; there
      is also used sock_i_ino() function, which reads sk_socket under proper
      read lock. Additionally printf format of this i_ino is changed to %lu.

      [IPV4]: Remove IP_TOS setting privilege checks. · e4f8b5d4
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Various RFCs have all sorts of things to say about the CS field of the
      DSCP value.  In particular they try to make the distinction between
      values that should be used by "user applications" and things like
      routing daemons.
      
      This seems to have influenced the CAP_NET_ADMIN check which exists for
      IP_TOS socket option settings, but in fact it has an off-by-one error
      so it wasn't allowing CS5 which is meant for "user applications" as
      well.
      
      Further adding to the inconsistency and brokenness here, IPV6 does not
      validate the DSCP values specified for the IPV6_TCLASS socket option.
      
      The real actual uses of these TOS values are system specific in the
      final analysis, and these RFC recommendations are just that, "a
      recommendation".  In fact the standards very purposefully use
      "SHOULD" and "SHOULD NOT" when describing how these values can be
      used.
      
      In the final analysis the only clean way to provide consistency here
      is to remove the CAP_NET_ADMIN check.  The alternatives just don't
      work out:
      
      1) If we add the CAP_NET_ADMIN check to ipv6, this can break existing
         setups.
      
      2) If we just fix the off-by-one error in the class comparison in
         IPV4, certain DSCP values can be used in IPV6 but not IPV4 by
         default.  So people will just ask for a sysctl asking to
         override that.
      
      I checked several other freely available kernel trees and they
      do not make any privilege checks in this area like we do.  For
      the BSD stacks, this goes back all the way to Stevens Volume 2
      and beyond.
