[PATCH net-next 0/2] Clean devlink net namespace operations

[PATCH net-next 0/2] Clean devlink net namespace operations

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

Hi Dave, Jakub and Jiri

This short series continues my work on devlink core code to make devlink
reload less prone to errors and harden it from API abuse.

Despite first patch being a clear fix, I would ask you to apply it to net-next
anyway, because the fixed patch is anyway old and it will help us to eliminate
merge conflicts that will arise for following patches or even for the second one.

Thanks

    unload/load driver

[PATCH net-next 1/2] devlink: Break parameter notification sequence to be before/after unload/load driver

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

The change of namespaces during devlink reload calls to driver unload
before it accesses devlink parameters. The commands below causes to
use-after-free bug when trying to get flow steering mode.

 * ip netns add n1
 * devlink dev reload pci/0000:00:09.0 netns n1

The right solution to devlink reload is to notify about deletion of
parameters, unload driver, change net namespaces, load driver and notify
about addition of parameters.

Please name it differently. This function notifies not only the params,
but the devlink instance itself as well.

This is quite odd. According to PARAMS cmd you decife devlink CMD.

Just have bool arg which would help you select both
DEVLINK_CMD_PARAM_NEW/DEL and DEVLINK_CMD_NEW/DEL.

I'm open for suggestion. What did you have in mind?

The patch is quite misleading, but the final result looks neat:

   3847 static void devlink_params_notify(struct devlink *devlink, struct net *dest_net,
   3848                                   struct net *curr_net,
   3849                                   enum devlink_command cmd)
   3850 {
   3851         struct devlink_param_item *param_item;
   3852 
   3853         /* Userspace needs to be notified about devlink objects
   3854          * removed from original and entering new network namespace.
   3855          * The rest of the devlink objects are re-created during
   3856          * reload process so the notifications are generated separatelly.
   3857          */
   3858 
   3859         if (!dest_net || net_eq(dest_net, curr_net))
   3860                 return;
   3861 
   3862         if (cmd == DEVLINK_CMD_PARAM_NEW)
   3863                 devlink_notify(devlink, DEVLINK_CMD_NEW);
   3864 
   3865         list_for_each_entry(param_item, &devlink->param_list, list)
   3866                 devlink_param_notify(devlink, 0, param_item, cmd);
   3867 
   3868         if (cmd == DEVLINK_CMD_PARAM_DEL)
   3869                 devlink_notify(devlink, DEVLINK_CMD_DEL);
   3870 }


So as you can see in line 3866, we anyway will need to provide "cmd", so
do you suggest to add extra two bool variables to the function signature
to avoid "cmd == DEVLINK_CMD_PARAM_NEW" and "cmd == DEVLINK_CMD_PARAM_DEL" ifs?

Thanks

Nothing misleading here. This is exactly what I'm pointing out...

[PATCH net-next 2/2] devlink: Allocate devlink directly in requested net namespace

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

There is no need in extra call indirection and check from impossible
flow where someone tries to set namespace without prior call
to devlink_alloc().

Instead of this extra logic and additional EXPORT_SYMBOL, use specialized
devlink allocation function that receives net namespace as an argument.

Such specialized API allows clear view when devlink initialized in wrong
net namespace and/or kernel users don't try to change devlink namespace
under the hood.

Not sure what "RAW call" is, perhaps you can just avoid this here.

Otherwise, this patch looks fine to me:

I wanted to emphasize the message that we shouldn't see this call in
regular drivers and it is very specific to SW drivers.

I'll drop "RAW".
