[v2] net: ioctl: Use kernel memory on protocol ioctl callbacks

Commit Message

Breno Leitao May 22, 2023, 1:47 p.m. UTC

Most of the ioctls to net protocols  operates directly on userspace
argument (arg). Usually doing get_user()/put_user() directly in the
ioctl callback.  This is not flexible, because it is hard to reuse these
functions without passing userspace buffers.

Change the "struct proto" ioctls to avoid touching userspace memory and
operate on kernel buffers, i.e., all protocol's ioctl callbacks is
adapted to operate on a kernel memory other than on userspace (so, no
more {put,get}_user() and friends being called in the ioctl callback).

This changes the "struct proto" ioctl format in the following way:

    int                     (*ioctl)(struct sock *sk, int cmd,
-                                        unsigned long arg);
+                                        int *karg);

So, the "karg" argument, which is passed to the ioctl callback, is a
pointer allocated to kernel space memory (inside a function wrapper -
sk_ioctl()). This buffer (karg) may contain input argument
(copied from userspace in a prep function) and it might return a
value/buffer, which is copied back to userspace if necessary. There is
not one-size-fits-all format (that is I am using 'may' above), but
basically, there are three type of ioctls:

1) Do not read from userspace, returns a result to userspace
2) Read an input parameter from userspace, and does not return anything
  to userspace
3) Read an input from userspace, and return a buffer to userspace.

The default case (1) (where no input parameter is given, and an "int" is
returned to userspace) encompasses more than 90% of the cases, but there
are two other exceptions. Here is a list of exceptions:

* Protocol RAW:
   * cmd = SIOCGETVIFCNT:
     * input and output = struct sioc_vif_req
   * cmd = SIOCGETSGCNT
     * input and output = struct sioc_sg_req
   * Explanation: for the SIOCGETVIFCNT case, userspace passes the input
     argument, which is struct sioc_vif_req. Then the callback populates
     the struct, which is copied back to userspace.

* Protocol RAW6:
   * cmd = SIOCGETMIFCNT_IN6
     * input and output = struct sioc_mif_req6
   * cmd = SIOCGETSGCNT_IN6
     * input and output = struct sioc_sg_req6

* Protocol PHONET:
  * cmd == SIOCPNADDRESOURCE | SIOCPNDELRESOURCE
     * input int (4 bytes)
  * Nothing is copied back to userspace.

For the exception cases, functions sk_ioctl_in{out}() will
copy the userspace input, and copy it back to kernel space.

The wrapper that prepare the buffer and put the buffer back to user is
sk_ioctl(), so, instead of calling sk->sk_prot->ioctl(), the
callee now calls sk_ioctl(), which will handle all cases.

Hi Breno,

Thank you for your modifications, that's great!

Our CI did some validations and here is its report:

- KVM Validation: normal (except selftest_mptcp_join):
  - Unstable: 2 failed test(s): packetdrill_fastopen selftest_simult_flows

This is for the ioctl constants only, right.

Then like those header files, include the uapi header, and only that,
to minimize the dependencies added to net/core/sock.c

The pointer can be const.

The comment and cast are u32, but the datatype is int. Is there a
reason for that.

I just copied what we have in pn_ioctl()[1]

	static int pn_ioctl(struct sock *sk, int cmd, unsigned long arg)
	{

		switch (cmd) {
		case SIOCPNADDRESOURCE:
		case SIOCPNDELRESOURCE: {
				u32 res;
				if (get_user(res, (u32 __user *)arg))
				....


I will cast it to "int" on V3.

Rather than bleed some of these protocol specific details into core
code, how about something like this in include net/phonet/phonet.h

static inline bool sk_is_phonet(struct sock *sk)
{
	return sk->sk_family == PF_PHONET && \
		sk->sk_protocol == PN_PROTO_PHONET;
}

And then in net/core/sock.c:

	if (sk_is_phonet(sk)) {
		rc = phonet_sk_ioctl(...);
		if (rc <= 0)
			return rc;
	}

where < 0 means error, == 0 means handled and > 0 means (keep going).
Similarly for the other 2 above.
