commit e6bd18f57aad1a2d1ef40e646d03ed0f2515c9e3 upstream.

The drivers/infiniband stack uses write() as a replacement for
bi-directional ioctl().  This is not safe. There are ways to
trigger write calls that result in the return structure that
is normally written to user space being shunted off to user
specified kernel memory instead.

For the immediate repair, detect and deny suspicious accesses to
the write API.

For long term, update the user space libraries and the kernel API
to something that doesn't present the same security vulnerabilities
(likely a structured ioctl() interface).

The impacted uAPI interfaces are generally only available if
hardware from drivers/infiniband is installed in the system.

[js] backport to 3.12: hfi1 is not there yet (exclude), ipath is still
     there (include)

<title>IB/core: Add receive flow steering support</title>

<id>319a441d1361ea703b091caf92418f8121eadfc5</id>
<content type='text'>
The RDMA stack allows for applications to create IB_QPT_RAW_PACKET
QPs, which receive plain Ethernet packets, specifically packets that
don't carry any QPN to be matched by the receiving side.  Applications
using these QPs must be provided with a method to program some
steering rule with the HW so packets arriving at the local port can be
routed to them.

This patch adds ib_create_flow(), which allow providing a flow
specification for a QP.  When there's a match between the
specification and a received packet, the packet is forwarded to that
QP, in a the same way one uses ib_attach_multicast() for IB UD
multicast handling.

Flow specifications are provided as instances of struct ib_flow_spec_yyy,
which describe L2, L3 and L4 headers.  Currently specs for Ethernet, IPv4,
TCP and UDP are defined.  Flow specs are made of values and masks.

The input to ib_create_flow() is a struct ib_flow_attr, which contains
a few mandatory control elements and optional flow specs.

    struct ib_flow_attr {
            enum ib_flow_attr_type type;
            u16      size;
            u16      priority;
            u32      flags;
            u8       num_of_specs;
            u8       port;
            /* Following are the optional layers according to user request
             * struct ib_flow_spec_yyy
             * struct ib_flow_spec_zzz
             */
    };

As these specs are eventually coming from user space, they are defined and
used in a way which allows adding new spec types without kernel/user ABI
change, just with a little API enhancement which defines the newly added spec.

The flow spec structures are defined with TLV (Type-Length-Value)
entries, which allows calling ib_create_flow() with a list of variable
length of optional specs.

For the actual processing of ib_flow_attr the driver uses the number
of specs and the size mandatory fields along with the TLV nature of
the specs.

Steering rules processing order is according to the domain over which
the rule is set and the rule priority.  All rules set by user space
applicatations fall into the IB_FLOW_DOMAIN_USER domain, other domains
could be used by future IPoIB RFS and Ethetool flow-steering interface
implementation.  Lower numerical value for the priority field means
higher priority.

The returned value from ib_create_flow() is a struct ib_flow, which
contains a database pointer (handle) provided by the HW driver to be
used when calling ib_destroy_flow().

Applications that offload TCP/IP traffic can also be written over IB
UD QPs.  The ib_create_flow() / ib_destroy_flow() API is designed to
support UD QPs too.  A HW driver can set IB_DEVICE_MANAGED_FLOW_STEERING
to denote support for flow steering.

The ib_flow_attr enum type supports usage of flow steering for promiscuous
and sniffer purposes:

    IB_FLOW_ATTR_NORMAL - "regular" rule, steering according to rule specification

    IB_FLOW_ATTR_ALL_DEFAULT - default unicast and multicast rule, receive
        all Ethernet traffic which isn't steered to any QP

    IB_FLOW_ATTR_MC_DEFAULT - same as IB_FLOW_ATTR_ALL_DEFAULT but only for multicast

    IB_FLOW_ATTR_SNIFFER - sniffer rule, receive all port traffic

ALL_DEFAULT and MC_DEFAULT rules options are valid only for Ethernet link type.
