<title>netlink: make validation more configurable for future strictness</title>
<updated>2019-04-27T21:07:21+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mirrors.hust.edu.cn/git/lwn.git/commit/?id=8cb081746c031fb164089322e2336a0bf5b3070c'/>
<id>urn:sha1:8cb081746c031fb164089322e2336a0bf5b3070c</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently have two levels of strict validation:

 1) liberal (default)
     - undefined (type &gt;= max) &amp; NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted
     - garbage at end of message accepted
 2) strict (opt-in)
     - NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted

Split out parsing strictness into four different options:
 * TRAILING     - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
                  attributes (in message or nested)
 * MAXTYPE      - reject attrs &gt; max known type
 * UNSPEC       - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
 * STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size

The default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().

Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.

We end up with the following renames:
 * nla_parse           -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated
 * nla_parse_strict    -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nlmsg_parse         -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated
 * nlmsg_parse_strict  -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nla_parse_nested    -&gt; nla_parse_nested_deprecated
 * nla_validate_nested -&gt; nla_validate_nested_deprecated

Using spatch, of course:

    expression TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT;

    +nlmsg_validate_deprecated(NLH, HDRLEN, MAX, POL, EXT)

For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions
yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong.

Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a
common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication.

Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every
new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the
next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is.

In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command.

<title>netlink: make nla_nest_start() add NLA_F_NESTED flag</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ae0be8de9a53cda3505865c11826d8ff0640237c</id>
<content type='text'>
Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most
netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not
setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers
not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's
mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display
the structure of their contents.

Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be
userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than
through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames
nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start()
as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually
are rewritten to use nla_nest_start().

Except for changes in include/net/netlink.h, the patch was generated using
this semantic patch:

@@ expression E1, E2; @@
-nla_nest_start(E1, E2)
+nla_nest_start_noflag(E1, E2)

@@ expression E1, E2; @@
-nla_nest_start_noflag(E1, E2 | NLA_F_NESTED)
+nla_nest_start(E1, E2)

Allows a later patch to use the nexthop.h name for the new
nexthop code.

<content type='text'>
Add support for an IPv6 gateway to rtable. Since a gateway is either
IPv4 or IPv6, make it a union with rt_gw4 where rt_gw_family decides
which address is in use.

When dumping the route data, encode an ipv6 nexthop using RTA_VIA.

To allow the gateway to be either an IPv4 or IPv6 address, remove
rt_uses_gateway from rtable and replace with rt_gw_family. If
rt_gw_family is set it implies rt_uses_gateway. Rename rt_gateway
to rt_gw4 to represent the IPv4 version.

<content type='text'>
The number of stubs is growing and has nothing to do with addrconf.
Move the definition of the stubs to a separate header file and update
users. In the move, drop the vxlan specific comment before ipv6_stub.

Code move only; no functional change intended.

<title>mpls: Fix 6PE forwarding</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mirrors.hust.edu.cn/git/lwn.git/commit/?id=f84532ce5887dac2ef67498b897a8713793eebde'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f84532ce5887dac2ef67498b897a8713793eebde</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds support for 6PE (RFC 4798) which uses IPv4-mapped IPv6
nexthop to connect IPv6 islands over IPv4 only MPLS network core.

Prior to this fix, to find the link-layer destination mac address, 6PE
enabled host/router was sending IPv6 ND requests for IPv4-mapped IPv6
nexthop address over the interface facing the IPv4 only core which
wouldn't success as the core is IPv6 free.

This fix changes that behavior on 6PE host to treat the nexthop as IPv4
address and send ARP requests whenever the next-hop address is an
IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.

Below topology illustrates the issue and how the patch addresses it.

abcd::1.1.1.1 (lo)                                              abcd::2.2.2.2 (lo)
R0 (PE/host)------------------------R1--------------------------------R2 (PE/host)
            &lt;--- IPv4 MPLS core ---&gt;   &lt;------ IPv4 MPLS core --------&gt;
           eth1               eth2       eth3                       eth4
          172.18.0.10     172.18.0.11   172.19.0.11              172.19.0.12
    ffff::172.18.0.10                                      ffff::172.19.0.12
            &lt;------------------IPv6 MPLS tunnel ----------------------&gt;

R0 and R2 act as 6PE routers of IPv6 islands. R1 is IPv4 only with MPLS tunnels
between R0,R1 and R1,R2.

 docker exec r0 ip -f inet6 route add abcd::2.2.2.2/128 nexthop encap mpls 100 via ::ffff:172.18.0.11 dev eth1
 docker exec r2 ip -f inet6 route add abcd::1.1.1.1/128 nexthop encap mpls 200 via ::ffff:172.19.0.11 dev eth4

 docker exec r1 ip -f mpls route add 100 via inet 172.19.0.12 dev eth3
 docker exec r1 ip -f mpls route add 200 via inet 172.18.0.10 dev eth2

With the change, when R0 sends an IPv6 packet over MPLS tunnel to abcd::2.2.2.2,
using ::ffff:172.18.0.11 as the nexthop, it does neighbor discovery for
172.18.18.0.11.
