Linus Torvalds bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Thorsten BlumandJakub Kicinski ff736a2861 net: ipconfig: Replace strncpy with strscpy in ic_proto_name
strncpy() is deprecated [1] for NUL-terminated destination buffers
because it does not guarantee NUL termination. Replace it with strscpy()
to ensure the destination buffer is always NUL-terminated and to avoid
any additional NUL padding.

Although the identifier buffer has 252 usable bytes, strncpy() copied
only up to 251 bytes to the zero-initialized buffer, relying on the last
byte to act as an implicit NUL terminator. Switching to strscpy() avoids
this implicit behavior and does not use magic numbers.

The source string is also NUL-terminated and satisfies the
__must_be_cstr() requirement of strscpy().

Martin WetterwaldandDavid S. Miller 81ac2722fa net: ipconfig: Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK
Some DHCP server implementations only send the important requested DHCP
options in the final BOOTP reply (DHCPACK).
One example is systemd-networkd.
However, RFC2131, in section 4.3.1 states:

> The server MUST return to the client:
> [...]
> o Parameters requested by the client, according to the following
>   rules:
>
>      -- IF the server has been explicitly configured with a default
>         value for the parameter, the server MUST include that value
>         in an appropriate option in the 'option' field, ELSE

I've reported the issue here:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/27471

Linux PNP DHCP client implementation only takes into account the DNS
servers received in the first BOOTP reply (DHCPOFFER).
This usually isn't an issue as servers are required to put the same
values in the DHCPOFFER and DHCPACK.
However, RFC2131, in section 4.3.2 states:

> Any configuration parameters in the DHCPACK message SHOULD NOT
> conflict with those in the earlier DHCPOFFER message to which the
> client is responding.  The client SHOULD use the parameters in the
> DHCPACK message for configuration.

When making Linux PNP DHCP client (cmdline ip=dhcp) interact with
systemd-networkd DHCP server, an interesting "protocol misunderstanding"
happens:
Because DNS servers were only specified in the DHCPACK and not in the
DHCPOFFER, Linux will not catch the correct DNS servers: in the first
BOOTP reply (DHCPOFFER), it sees that there is no DNS, and sets as
fallback the IP of the DHCP server itself. When the second BOOTP reply
comes (DHCPACK), it's already too late: the kernel will not overwrite
the fallback setting it has set previously.

This patch makes the kernel overwrite its DNS fallback by DNS servers
specified in the DHCPACK if any.

Saravana KannanandGreg Kroah-Hartman dd429036e7 net: ipconfig: Relax fw_devlink if we need to mount a network rootfs
If there are network devices that could probe without some of their
suppliers probing and those network devices are needed to mount a
network rootfs, then fw_devlink=on might break that usecase by blocking
the network devices from probing by the time IP auto config starts.

So, if no network devices are available when IP auto config is enabled
and we have a network rootfs, make sure fw_devlink doesn't block the
probing of any device that has a driver and then retry finding a network
device.

Maxime ChevallierandDavid S. Miller ee046d9a22 net: ipconfig: Release the rtnl_lock while waiting for carrier
While waiting for a carrier to come on one of the netdevices, some
devices will require to take the rtnl lock at some point to fully
initialize all parts of the link.

That's the case for SFP, where the rtnl is taken when a module gets
detected. This prevents mounting an NFS rootfs over an SFP link.

This means that while ipconfig waits for carriers to be detected, no SFP
modules can be detected in the meantime, it's only detected after
ipconfig times out.

This commit releases the rtnl_lock while waiting for the carrier to come
up, and re-takes it to check the for the init device and carrier status.

Vladimir OlteanandDavid S. Miller a50a151e31 net: ipconfig: ic_dev can be NULL in ic_close_devs
ic_close_dev contains a generalization of the logic to not close a
network interface if it's the host port for a DSA switch. This logic is
disguised behind an iteration through the lowers of ic_dev in
ic_close_dev.

When no interface for ipconfig can be found, ic_dev is NULL, and
ic_close_dev:
- dereferences a NULL pointer when assigning selected_dev
- would attempt to search through the lower interfaces of a NULL
  net_device pointer

So we should protect against that case.

The "lower_dev" iterator variable was shortened to "lower" in order to
keep the 80 character limit.

Vladimir OlteanandDavid S. Miller f68cbaed67 net: ipconfig: avoid use-after-free in ic_close_devs
Due to the fact that ic_dev->dev is kept open in ic_close_dev, I had
thought that ic_dev will not be freed either. But that is not the case,
but instead "everybody dies" when ipconfig cleans up, and just the
net_device behind ic_dev->dev remains allocated but not ic_dev itself.

This is a problem because in ic_close_devs, for every net device that
we're about to close, we compare it against the list of lower interfaces
of ic_dev, to figure out whether we should close it or not. But since
ic_dev itself is subject to freeing, this means that at some point in
the middle of the list of ipconfig interfaces, ic_dev will have been
freed, and we would be still attempting to iterate through its list of
lower interfaces while checking whether to bring down the remaining
ipconfig interfaces.

There are multiple ways to avoid the use-after-free: we could delay
freeing ic_dev until the very end (outside the while loop). Or an even
simpler one: we can observe that we don't need ic_dev when iterating
through its lowers, only ic_dev->dev, structure which isn't ever freed.
So, by keeping ic_dev->dev in a variable assigned prior to freeing
ic_dev, we can avoid all use-after-free issues.

Vladimir OlteanandJakub Kicinski 46acf7bdbc Revert "net: ipv4: handle DSA enabled master network devices"
This reverts commit 728c02089a.

Since 2015 DSA has gained more integration with the network stack, we
can now have the same functionality without explicitly open-coding for
it:
- It now opens the DSA master netdevice automatically whenever a user
  netdevice is opened.
- The master and switch interfaces are coupled in an upper/lower
  hierarchy using the netdev adjacency lists.

In the nfsroot example below, the interface chosen by autoconfig was
swp3, and every interface except that and the DSA master, eth1, was
brought down afterwards:

Thierry RedingandJakub Kicinski c9f64d1fc1 net: ipconfig: Avoid spurious blank lines in boot log
When dumping the name and NTP servers advertised by DHCP, a blank line
is emitted if either of the lists is empty. This can lead to confusing
issues such as the blank line getting flagged as warning. This happens
because the blank line is the result of pr_cont("\n") and that may see
its level corrupted by some other driver concurrently writing to the
console.

Fix this by making sure that the terminating newline is only emitted
if at least one entry in the lists was printed before.

Martin KepplingerandDavid S. Miller 3fc46fc9f6 ipconfig: add carrier_timeout kernel parameter
commit 3fb72f1e6e ("ipconfig wait for carrier") added a
"wait for carrier" policy, with a fixed worst case maximum wait
of two minutes.

Now make the wait for carrier timeout configurable on the kernel
commandline and use the 120s as the default.

The timeout messages introduced with
commit 5e404cd658 ("ipconfig: add informative timeout messages while
waiting for carrier") are done in a fixed interval of 20 seconds, just
like they were before (240/12).

David S. Miller 2be09de7d6 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Lots of conflicts, by happily all cases of overlapping
changes, parallel adds, things of that nature.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell, Saeed Mahameed, and others
for their guidance in these resolutions.

Dave TahtandDavid S. Miller 65cab850f0 net: Allow class-e address assignment via ifconfig ioctl
While most distributions long ago switched to the iproute2 suite
of utilities, which allow class-e (240.0.0.0/4) address assignment,
distributions relying on busybox, toybox and other forms of
ifconfig cannot assign class-e addresses without this kernel patch.

While CIDR has been obsolete for 2 decades, and a survey of all the
open source code in the world shows the IN_whatever macros are also
obsolete... rather than obsolete CIDR from this ioctl entirely, this
patch merely enables class-e assignment, sanely.

Petr MachataandDavid S. Miller 567c5e13be net: core: dev: Add extack argument to dev_change_flags()
In order to pass extack together with NETDEV_PRE_UP notifications, it's
necessary to route the extack to __dev_open() from diverse (possibly
indirect) callers. One prominent API through which the notification is
invoked is dev_change_flags().

Therefore extend dev_change_flags() with and extra extack argument and
update all users. Most of the calls end up just encoding NULL, but
several sites (VLAN, ipvlan, VRF, rtnetlink) do have extack available.

Since the function declaration line is changed anyway, name the other
function arguments to placate checkpatch.
