[ Upstream commit ec79003c5f9d2c7f9576fc69b8dbda80305cbe3a ]

syzbot reported the splat below. [0]

When atmtcp_v_open() or atmtcp_v_close() is called via connect()
or close(), atmtcp_send_control() is called to send an in-kernel
special message.

The message has ATMTCP_HDR_MAGIC in atmtcp_control.hdr.length.
Also, a pointer of struct atm_vcc is set to atmtcp_control.vcc.

The notable thing is struct atmtcp_control is uAPI but has a
space for an in-kernel pointer.

  struct atmtcp_control {
  	struct atmtcp_hdr hdr;	/* must be first */
  ...
  	atm_kptr_t vcc;		/* both directions */
  ...
  } __ATM_API_ALIGN;

  typedef struct { unsigned char _[8]; } __ATM_API_ALIGN atm_kptr_t;

The special message is processed in atmtcp_recv_control() called
from atmtcp_c_send().

atmtcp_c_send() is vcc-&gt;dev-&gt;ops-&gt;send() and called from 2 paths:

  1. .ndo_start_xmit() (vcc-&gt;send() == atm_send_aal0())
  2. vcc_sendmsg()

The problem is sendmsg() does not validate the message length and
userspace can abuse atmtcp_recv_control() to overwrite any kptr
by atmtcp_control.

Let's add a new -&gt;pre_send() hook to validate messages from sendmsg().

<title>atm: Revert atm_account_tx() if copy_from_iter_full() fails.</title>

commit 7851263998d4269125fd6cb3fdbfc7c6db853859 upstream.

In vcc_sendmsg(), we account skb-&gt;truesize to sk-&gt;sk_wmem_alloc by
atm_account_tx().

It is expected to be reverted by atm_pop_raw() later called by
vcc-&gt;dev-&gt;ops-&gt;send(vcc, skb).

However, vcc_sendmsg() misses the same revert when copy_from_iter_full()
fails, and then we will leak a socket.

Let's factorise the revert part as atm_return_tx() and call it in
the failure path.

Note that the corresponding sk_wmem_alloc operation can be found in
alloc_tx() as of the blamed commit.

  $ git blame -L:alloc_tx net/atm/common.c c55fa3cccbc2c~

push_scqe() uses in_interrupt() to figure out if it is allowed to sleep.

The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly
requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should
either be separated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the
caller, which usually knows the context.

Aside of that in_interrupt() is not correct as it does not catch preempt
disabled regions which neither can sleep.

ns_send() (the only caller of push_scqe()) has the following callers:

- vcc_sendmsg() used as proto_ops::sendmsg is expected to be invoked in
  preemtible context.
  -&gt; vcc-&gt;dev-&gt;ops-&gt;send() (ns_send())

- atm_vcc::send via atmdev_ops::send either directly (pointer copied by
  atm_init_aal34() or atm_init_aal5()) or via atm_send_aal0().
  This is invoked by drivers (like br2684, clip, pppoatm, ...) which are
  called from net_device_ops::ndo_start_xmit with BH disabled.

Add atmdev_ops::send_bh which is used by callers from BH context
(atm_send_aal*()) and if this callback missing then ::send is used
instead.
Implement this callback in nicstar and use it to replace in_interrupt().

<title>atm: Preserve value of skb-&gt;truesize when accounting to vcc</title>

<content type='text'>
ATM accounts for in-flight TX packets in sk_wmem_alloc of the VCC on
which they are to be sent. But it doesn't take ownership of those
packets from the sock (if any) which originally owned them. They should
remain owned by their actual sender until they've left the box.

There's a hack in pskb_expand_head() to avoid adjusting skb-&gt;truesize
for certain skbs, precisely to avoid messing up sk_wmem_alloc
accounting. Ideally that hack would cover the ATM use case too, but it
doesn't — skbs which aren't owned by any sock, for example PPP control
frames, still get their truesize adjusted when the low-level ATM driver
adds headroom.

This has always been an issue, it seems. The truesize of a packet
increases, and sk_wmem_alloc on the VCC goes negative. But this wasn't
for normal traffic, only for control frames. So I think we just got away
with it, and we probably needed to send 2GiB of LCP echo frames before
the misaccounting would ever have caused a problem and caused
atm_may_send() to start refusing packets.

Commit 14afee4b609 ("net: convert sock.sk_wmem_alloc from atomic_t to
refcount_t") did exactly what it was intended to do, and turned this
mostly-theoretical problem into a real one, causing PPPoATM to fail
immediately as sk_wmem_alloc underflows and atm_may_send() *immediately*
starts refusing to allow new packets.

The least intrusive solution to this problem is to stash the value of
skb-&gt;truesize that was accounted to the VCC, in a new member of the
ATM_SKB(skb) structure. Then in atm_pop_raw() subtract precisely that
value instead of the then-current value of skb-&gt;truesize.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
