[RESEND PATCH v2] can: netlink: prevent incoherent can configuration in case of early return
From: Vincent Mailhol
Date: Fri Sep 03 2021 - 03:18:29 EST
struct can_priv has a set of flags (can_priv::ctrlmode) which are
correlated with the other fields of the structure. In
can_changelink(), those flags are set first and copied to can_priv. If
the function has to return early, for example due to an out of range
value provided by the user, then the global configuration might become
incoherent.
Example: the user provides an out of range dbitrate (e.g. 20
Mbps). The command fails (-EINVAL), however the FD flag was already
set resulting in a configuration where FD is on but the databittiming
parameters are empty.
* Illustration of above example *
| $ ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000 dbitrate 20000000 fd on
| RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
| $ ip --details link show can0
| 1: can0: <NOARP,ECHO> mtu 72 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 10
| link/can promiscuity 0 minmtu 0 maxmtu 0
| can <FD> state STOPPED restart-ms 0
^^ FD flag is set without any of the databittiming parameters...
| bitrate 500000 sample-point 0.875
| tq 12 prop-seg 69 phase-seg1 70 phase-seg2 20 sjw 1
| ES582.1/ES584.1: tseg1 2..256 tseg2 2..128 sjw 1..128 brp 1..512 brp-inc 1
| ES582.1/ES584.1: dtseg1 2..32 dtseg2 1..16 dsjw 1..8 dbrp 1..32 dbrp-inc 1
| clock 80000000 numtxqueues 1 numrxqueues 1 gso_max_size 65536 gso_max_segs 65535
To prevent this from happening, we do a local copy of can_priv, work
on it, an copy it at the very end of the function (i.e. only if all
previous checks succeeded).
Once this done, there is no more need to have a temporary variable for
a specific parameter. As such, the bittiming and data bittiming (bt
and dbt) are directly written to the temporary priv variable.
Finally, function can_calc_tdco() was retrieving can_priv from the
net_device and directly modifying it. We changed the prototype so that
it instead writes its changes into our temporary priv variable.

Resending because I got no answers on:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/20210823024750.702542-1-mailhol.vincent@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#u
(I guess everyone bas busy with the upcoming merge window)
I am not sure whether or not this needs a "Fixes" tag. Just in case,
there it is:
Fixes: 9859ccd2c8be ("can: introduce the data bitrate configuration for CAN FD")
* Changelog *
v1 -> v2:
- Change the prototype of can_calc_tdco() so that the changes are
applied to the temporary priv instead of netdev_priv(dev).
