2007-06-07xfrm: Add security check before flushing SAD/SPDJoy Latten
Currently we check for permission before deleting entries from SAD and SPD, (see security_xfrm_policy_delete() security_xfrm_state_delete()) However we are not checking for authorization when flushing the SPD and the SAD completely. It was perhaps missed in the original security hooks patch. This patch adds a security check when flushing entries from the SAD and SPD. It runs the entire database and checks each entry for a denial. If the process attempting the flush is unable to remove all of the entries a denial is logged the the flush function returns an error without removing anything. This is particularly useful when a process may need to create or delete its own xfrm entries used for things like labeled networking but that same process should not be able to delete other entries or flush the entire database.

2007-05-24[XFRM]: Allow packet drops during larval state resolution.David S. Miller
The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the -EAGAIN buisness we had before. Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route. That works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules. We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in libc. With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default. This lays the framework to either: 1) Make this default at some point or... 2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of. The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we re-resolve the route and push the packets out. The packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved in a certain amount of time. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This is a natural extension of the changeset [XFRM]: Probe selected algorithm only. which only removed the probe call for xfrm_user. This patch does exactly the same thing for af_key.

2007-05-14[IPSEC]: Check validity of direction in xfrm_policy_byidHerbert Xu
The function xfrm_policy_byid takes a dir argument but finds the policy using the index instead. We only use the dir argument to update the policy count for that direction. Since the user can supply any value for dir, this can corrupt our policy count. I know this is the problem because a few days ago I was deleting policies by hand using indicies and accidentally typed in the wrong direction. It still deleted the policy and at the time I thought that was cool. In retrospect it isn't such a good idea :) I decided against letting it delete the policy anyway just in case we ever remove the connection between indicies and direction.

2007-04-30[XFRM]: Restrict upper layer information by bundle.Masahide NAKAMURA
On MIPv6 usage, XFRM sub policy is enabled. When main (IPsec) and sub (MIPv6) policy selectors have the same address set but different upper layer information (i.e. protocol number and its ports or type/code), multiple bundle should be created. However, currently we have issue to use the same bundle created for the first time with all flows covered by the case. It is useful for the bundle to have the upper layer information to be restructured correctly if it does not match with the flow. 1. Bundle was created by two policies Selector from another policy is added to xfrm_dst. If the flow does not match the selector, it goes to slow path to restructure new bundle by single policy. 2. Bundle was created by one policy Flow cache is added to xfrm_dst as originated one. If the flow does not match the cache, it goes to slow path to try searching another policy.

2007-04-26[NET]: Clean up sk_buff walkers.Jean Delvare
I noticed recently that, in skb_checksum(), "offset" and "start" are essentially the same thing and have the same value throughout the function, despite being computed differently. Using a single variable allows some cleanups and makes the skb_checksum() function smaller, more readable, and presumably marginally faster. We appear to have many other "sk_buff walker" functions built on the exact same model, so the cleanup applies to them, too. Here is a list of the functions I found to be affected: net/appletalk/ddp.c:atalk_sum_skb() net/core/datagram.c:skb_copy_datagram_iovec() net/core/datagram.c:skb_copy_and_csum_datagram() net/core/skbuff.c:skb_copy_bits() net/core/skbuff.c:skb_store_bits() net/core/skbuff.c:skb_checksum() net/core/skbuff.c:skb_copy_and_csum_bit() net/core/user_dma.c:dma_skb_copy_datagram_iovec() net/xfrm/xfrm_algo.c:skb_icv_walk() net/xfrm/xfrm_algo.c:skb_to_sgvec() OTOH, I admit I'm a bit surprised, the cleanup is rather obvious so I'm really wondering if I am missing something.

2007-04-26[XFRM]: Export SAD info.Jamal Hadi Salim
On a system with a lot of SAs, counting SAD entries chews useful CPU time since you need to dump the whole SAD to user space; i.e something like ip xfrm state ls | grep -i src | wc -l I have seen taking literally minutes on a 40K SAs when the system is swapping. With this patch, some of the SAD info (that was already being tracked) is exposed to user space. i.e you do: ip xfrm state count And you get the count; you can also pass -s to the command line and get the hash info.

2007-04-25[NETLINK]: Remove error pointer from netlink message handlerThomas Graf
The error pointer argument in netlink message handlers is used to signal the special case where processing has to be interrupted because a dump was started but no error happened. Instead it is simpler and more clear to return -EINTR and have netlink_run_queue() deal with getting the queue right. nfnetlink passed on this error pointer to its subsystem handlers but only uses it to signal the start of a netlink dump. Therefore it can be removed there as well. This patch also cleans up the error handling in the affected message handlers to be consistent since it had to be touched anyway.

2007-03-07[IPSEC]: xfrm_policy delete security check misplacedEric Paris
The security hooks to check permissions to remove an xfrm_policy were actually done after the policy was removed. Since the unlinking and deletion are done in xfrm_policy_by* functions this moves the hooks inside those 2 functions. There we have all the information needed to do the security check and it can be done before the deletion. Since auditing requires the result of that security check err has to be passed back and forth from the xfrm_policy_by* functions. This patch also fixes a bug where a deletion that failed the security check could cause improper accounting on the xfrm_policy (xfrm_get_policy didn't have a put on the exit path for the hold taken by xfrm_policy_by*) It also fixes the return code when no policy is found in xfrm_add_pol_expire. In old code (at least back in the 2.6.18 days) err wasn't used before the return when no policy is found and so the initialization would cause err to be ENOENT. But since err has since been used above when we don't get a policy back from the xfrm_policy_by* function we would always return 0 instead of the intended ENOENT. Also fixed some white space damage in the same area.
