[PATCH net 00/12] net: iflink and link-netnsid fixes
by Sabrina Dubroca 14 May '22

14 May '22

In a lot of places, we use this kind of comparison to detect if a device has a lower link: dev->ifindex != dev_get_iflink(dev) This seems to be a leftover of the pre-netns days, when the ifindex was unique over the whole system. Nowadays, with network namespaces, it's very easy to create a device with the same ifindex as its lower link: ip netns add main ip netns add peer ip -net main link add dummy0 type dummy ip -net main link add link dummy0 macvlan0 netns peer type macvlan ip -net main link show type dummy 9: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop ... ip -net peer link show type macvlan 9: macvlan0@if9: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop ... To detect if a device has a lower link, we can simply check the existence of the dev->netdev_ops->ndo_get_iflink operation, instead of checking its return value. In particular, I attempted to fix one of these checks in commit feadc4b6cf42 ("rtnetlink: always put IFLA_LINK for links with a link-netnsid"), but this patch isn't correct, since tunnel devices can export IFLA_LINK_NETNSID without IFLA_LINK. That patch needs to be reverted. This series will fix all those bogus comparisons, and export missing IFLA_LINK_NETNSID attributes in bridge and ipv6 dumps. ipvlan and geneve are also missing the get_link_net operation, so userspace can't know when those device are cross-netns. There are a couple of other device types that have an ndo_get_iflink op but no get_link_net (virt_wifi, ipoib), and should probably also have a get_link_net.

[PATCH] batman-adv: compat: Fix linux/build_bug.h include for Linux 4.9.297
by Sven Eckelmann 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

Linux 4.9.297 doesn't provide BUILD_BUG_ON anymore in linux/bug.h also identified itself with the version number 4.9.255 when decoding the LINUX_VERSION_CODE. So we have to try to guess now if we need to include linux/build_bug.h based on whether BUILD_BUG_ON is defined or not after including linux/bug.h. If not doing this, the build will fail with errors like: net/batman-adv/bat_algo.c:146:1: error: undefined identifier 'BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO' net/batman-adv/bat_algo.c:146:1: error: undefined identifier 'BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO' net/batman-adv/bat_algo.c:146:1: error: undefined identifier 'BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO' net/batman-adv/bat_algo.c:146:1: error: undefined identifier 'BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO' net/batman-adv/bat_algo.c:146:1: error: undefined identifier 'BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO' net/batman-adv/bat_algo.c:146:1: error: undefined identifier 'BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO' In file included from ./arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h:5, from ./arch/x86/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:5, from ./arch/x86/include/asm/atomic.h:7, from ./include/linux/atomic.h:4, from net/batman-adv/main.h:207, from net/batman-adv/bat_algo.c:7: ./arch/x86/include/asm/qspinlock.h: In function ‘virt_spin_lock’: ./arch/x86/include/asm/required-features.h:104:29: error: implicit declaration of function ‘BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven(a)narfation.org> --- compat-include/linux/build_bug.h | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/compat-include/linux/build_bug.h b/compat-include/linux/build_bug.h index 0eecc688..1002431d 100644 --- a/compat-include/linux/build_bug.h +++ b/compat-include/linux/build_bug.h @@ -15,6 +15,17 @@ #include_next <linux/build_bug.h> #else #include <linux/bug.h> + +/* Linux 4.9.297 doesn't provide BUILD_BUG_ON anymore in linux/bug.h + * also identified itself with the version number 4.9.255 when decoding the + * LINUX_VERSION_CODE.

alfred: allow startup without network interface
by Marek Lindner 22 Jan '22

22 Jan '22

Hi, alfred could be used without any interface at all and operate as local data storage between 2 processes on the same system or the interface could be configured at a later time (via unix socket). To allow for these additional use cases and keep the current behavior, the interface command line parameter shall accept 'none' as interface name (similar to the batman-adv interface). Cheers, Marek

[RFC PATCH] batman-adv: Drop support for Linux < 4.9

alfred: runtime configuration
by Marek Lindner 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Hi, the alfred daemon has built-in capabilities for accepting runtime configuration. Network interfaces and alfred 'mode' (primary/secondary) settings can be modified via instructions sent over unix socket. To make all settings configurable, the unix socket commands are extended to also support setting the batman-adv interface name at runtime. Network interfaces should no longer be required at startup as those can be configured at runtime. All these runtime settings make understanding the current alfred configuration tricky. Therefore, alfred should be able to export its operating configuration via unix socket. Cheers, Marek

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 08/73] batman-adv: allow netlink usage in unprivileged containers
by Sasha Levin 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

From: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing(a)c0d3.blue> [ Upstream commit 9057d6c23e7388ee9d037fccc9a7bc8557ce277b ] Currently, creating a batman-adv interface in an unprivileged LXD container and attaching secondary interfaces to it with "ip" or "batctl" works fine. However all batctl debug and configuration commands fail: root@container:~# batctl originators Error received: Operation not permitted root@container:~# batctl orig_interval 1000 root@container:~# batctl orig_interval 2000 root@container:~# batctl orig_interval 1000 To fix this change the generic netlink permissions from GENL_ADMIN_PERM to GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM. This way a batman-adv interface is fully maintainable as root from within a user namespace, from an unprivileged container. All except one batman-adv netlink setting are per interface and do not leak information or change settings from the host system and are therefore save to retrieve or modify as root from within an unprivileged container. "batctl routing_algo" / BATADV_CMD_GET_ROUTING_ALGOS is the only exception: It provides the batman-adv kernel module wide default routing algorithm. However it is read-only from netlink and an unprivileged container is still not allowed to modify /sys/module/batman_adv/parameters/routing_algo. Instead it is advised to use the newly introduced "batctl if create routing_algo RA_NAME" / IFLA_BATADV_ALGO_NAME to set the routing algorithm on interface creation, which already works fine in an unprivileged container.

From: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing(a)c0d3.blue> [ Upstream commit 9057d6c23e7388ee9d037fccc9a7bc8557ce277b ] Currently, creating a batman-adv interface in an unprivileged LXD container and attaching secondary interfaces to it with "ip" or "batctl" works fine. However all batctl debug and configuration commands fail: root@container:~# batctl originators Error received: Operation not permitted root@container:~# batctl orig_interval 1000 root@container:~# batctl orig_interval 2000 root@container:~# batctl orig_interval 1000 To fix this change the generic netlink permissions from GENL_ADMIN_PERM to GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM. This way a batman-adv interface is fully maintainable as root from within a user namespace, from an unprivileged container. All except one batman-adv netlink setting are per interface and do not leak information or change settings from the host system and are therefore save to retrieve or modify as root from within an unprivileged container. "batctl routing_algo" / BATADV_CMD_GET_ROUTING_ALGOS is the only exception: It provides the batman-adv kernel module wide default routing algorithm. However it is read-only from netlink and an unprivileged container is still not allowed to modify /sys/module/batman_adv/parameters/routing_algo. Instead it is advised to use the newly introduced "batctl if create routing_algo RA_NAME" / IFLA_BATADV_ALGO_NAME to set the routing algorithm on interface creation, which already works fine in an unprivileged container.
