[PATCH net v2 1/5] net/diag: Do not race on dumping MD5 keys with adding new MD5 keys

From: Dmitry Safonov via B4 Relay

From: Dmitry Safonov <0x7f454c46@xxxxxxxxx>

Inet-diag has two modes: (1) dumping information for a specific socket,
for which kernel creates one netlink message with the information and
(2) dumping information for multiple sockets (possibly with a filter),
where for the reply kernel sends many messages, one for each matched
socket.

Currently those two modes work differently as the information about
a specific socket is never split between multiple messages. For (2),
multi-socket dump for the reply kernel allocates up to 32Kb skb and
fills that with as many socket dumps as possible. For (1), one-socket
dump kernel pre-calculates the required space for the reply, allocates
a new skb and nlmsg and only then starts filling the socket's details.

Preallocating the needed size quite makes sense as most of the details
are fix-sized and provided for each socket, see inet_sk_attr_size().
But there's an exception: .idiag_get_aux_size() which is optional for
a socket. This is provided only for TCP sockets by tcp_diag.

For TCP-MD5 it calculates the memory needed to fill an array of
(struct tcp_diag_md5sig). The issue here is that the amount of keys may
change in inet_diag_dump_one_icsk() between inet_sk_attr_size() and
sk_diag_fill() calls. As the code expects fix-sized information on any
socket, it considers sk_diag_fill() failures by -EMSGSIZE reason as
a bug, resulting in such WARN_ON():

One way to solve it would be to grab lock_sock() in
inet_diag_dump_one_icsk(), but that may be costly and bring new lock
dependencies. The alternative is to call tcp_diag_put_md5sig() as
the last attribute of the netlink message and calculate how much space
left after all previous attributes filled and translate it into
(struct tcp_diag_md5sig)-sized units. If it turns out that there's not
enough space for all TCP-MD5 keys, mark the dump as inconsistent by
setting NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag. Userspace may figure out that dumping
raced with the socket properties change and retry again.

Currently it may be unexpected by userspace that netlink message for one
socket may be inconsistent, but I believe we're on a safe side from
breaking userspace as previously dump would fail and an ugly WARN was
produced in dmesg. IOW, it is a clear improvement.

This is not a theoretical issue: I've written a test and that reproduces
the issue I suspected (the backtrace above).
