kernfs: pass struct ns_common instead of const void * for namespace tags kernfs has historically used const void * to pass around namespace tags used for directory-level namespace filtering. The only current user of this is sysfs network namespace tagging where struct net pointers are cast to void *. Replace all const void * namespace parameters with const struct ns_common * throughout the kernfs, sysfs, and kobject namespace layers. This includes the kobj_ns_type_operations callbacks, kobject_namespace(), and all sysfs/kernfs APIs that accept or return namespace tags. Passing struct ns_common is needed because various codepaths require access to the underlying namespace. A struct ns_common can always be converted back to the concrete namespace type (e.g., struct net) via container_of() or to_ns_common() in the reverse direction. This is a preparatory change for switching to ns_id-based directory iteration to prevent a KASLR pointer leak through the current use of raw namespace pointers as hash seeds and comparison keys.

driver core: class: make namespace and get_ownership take const * The callbacks in struct class namespace() and get_ownership() do not modify the struct device passed to them, so mark the pointer as constant and fix up all callbacks in the kernel to have the correct function signature. This helps make it more obvious what calls and callbacks do, and do not, modify structures passed to them. Cc: "Rafael J.

rtnetlink: Pack newlink() params into struct There are 4 net namespaces involved when creating links: - source netns - where the netlink socket resides, - target netns - where to put the device being created, - link netns - netns associated with the device (backend), - peer netns - netns of peer device. Currently, two nets are passed to newlink() callback - "src_net" parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as follows, depending on netlink attributes in the request. +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ | peer netns | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net | +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ | | absent | source | target | | absent +-------------------+---------+---------+ | | present | link | link | +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ | | absent | peer | target | | present +-------------------+---------+---------+ | | present | peer | link | +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns first and then moved to target netns. This has some side effects, including extra ifindex allocation, ifname validation and link events. These could be avoided if we create it in target netns from the beginning. On the other hand, the meaning of src_net parameter is ambiguous. It varies depending on how parameters are passed. It is the effective link (or peer netns) by design, but some drivers ignore it and use dev_net instead. To provide more netns context for drivers, this patch packs existing newlink() parameters, along with the source netns, link netns and peer netns, into a struct. The old "src_net" is renamed to "net" to avoid confusion with real source netns, and will be deprecated later. The use of src_net are converted to params->net trivially.

Upon NETDEV_REGISTER device_event, tap_dev is registered with idr and fetched again on tap_open. Few of the tap functions are modified to accepted tap_dev as argument. tap_dev object includes callbacks to be used by underlying virtual interface to take care of tx and rx accounting.

tap: reference to KVA of an unloaded module causes kernel panic The commit 9a393b5d5988 ("tap: tap as an independent module") created a separate tap module that implements tap functionality and exports interfaces that will be used by macvtap and ipvtap modules to create create respective tap devices. However, that patch introduced a regression wherein the modules macvtap and ipvtap can be removed (through modprobe -r) while there are applications using the respective /dev/tapX devices. These applications cause kernel to hold reference to /dev/tapX through 'struct cdev macvtap_cdev' and 'struct cdev ipvtap_dev' defined in macvtap and ipvtap modules respectively. So, when the application is later closed the kernel panics because we are referencing KVA that is present in the unloaded modules. ----------8<------- Example ----------8<---------- $ sudo ip li add name mv0 link enp7s0 type macvtap $ sudo ip li show mv0 |grep mv0| awk -e '{print $1 $2}' 14:mv0@enp7s0: $ cat /dev/tap14 & $ lsmod |egrep -i 'tap|vlan' macvtap 16384 0 macvlan 24576 1 macvtap tap 24576 3 macvtap $ sudo modprobe -r macvtap $ fg cat /dev/tap14 ^C <...system panics...> BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa038c500 IP: cdev_put+0xf/0x30 ----------8<-----------------8<---------- The fix is to set cdev.owner to the module that creates the tap device (either macvtap or ipvtap). With this set, the operations (in fs/char_dev.c) on char device holds and releases the module through cdev_get() and cdev_put() and will not allow the module to unload prematurely.
