[PATCH v3 0/2] taskstats: fix cross-netns exit listener delivery

[tjdqudcks0424]

From: 성병찬 <tjdqudcks0424@naver.com>

CPU-mask taskstats listeners are currently identified only by a numeric
Generic Netlink port ID and exit records are sent through init_net. Since
port IDs are namespace-local, an unprivileged init_net socket can bind the
same number as a listener in another network namespace and receive that
listener's cross-UID exit record.

Patch 1 associates listener entries with the registering Generic Netlink
socket's namespace and port ID and cleans them up when that socket closes.
Patch 2 adds an acct kselftest which constructs the collision and checks the
normal listener, explicit deregistration, and unrelated-port controls.

The test was built with GCC using -Wall -Wextra and run in disposable QEMU
guests with the same userspace binary. On the unmodified baseline it reports
3 passes and 1 failure: the child-netns listener misses the victim record and
the colliding unprivileged init_net socket receives it. On the fixed kernel,
three independent clean boots each report 4 passes and no failures. No
KASAN, UBSAN, BUG, WARNING, Oops, panic, lockdep, refcount, use-after-free,
out-of-bounds, or kmemleak diagnostic was emitted during the final runs.

Changes in v3:
- remove wording that called a private draft "v1"
- add an in-tree taskstats CPU-listener network-namespace regression test
- send the fix and selftest as a two-patch series

[PATCH v3 1/2] taskstats: route exit listener records through their netns

[tjdqudcks0424]

From: 성병찬 <tjdqudcks0424@naver.com>

Commit edc73c7261ca ("kernel: make taskstats available from all net
namespaces") made the taskstats Generic Netlink family available from all
network namespaces. CPU-mask listener registrations, however, still store
only a bare netlink port ID in a global per-CPU list and send exit records
through init_net.

Netlink port IDs are namespace-local. An administrator can register an exit
listener after unsharing only the network namespace, while an unprivileged
init_net socket binds the same numeric port ID. The latter then receives
taskstats for exiting tasks of other UIDs. It cannot register a listener or
issue a direct taskstats query.

Associate each listener with taskstats family-private storage for the exact
Generic Netlink socket. Record that socket's network namespace and port ID
and use both for unicast. On socket release, the family-private destructor
removes every listener owned by that socket. The socket pins its namespace
until the destructor returns, so no additional net reference is needed.

The per-CPU rwsem protects the listener-to-owner pointer from registration
through unicast and removal. It also makes explicit deregistration,
failed-send cleanup, and socket destruction mutually safe. Allocate a
complete multi-CPU registration batch before publishing it so an allocation
failure neither leaves a partial registration nor removes an older one.

An in-tree regression test creates the cross-network-namespace port-ID
collision. In a disposable QEMU guest with the unmodified kernel, the test
fails because the child-netns listener misses the victim's exit record and
the colliding unprivileged init_net socket receives it. The same test passes
in three independent boots with this fix: the child-netns listener receives
the record while the colliding socket does not. It also verifies the victim
identity, EPERM for the unprivileged socket's direct query and registration,
normal init_net delivery, explicit deregistration, and an unrelated port ID.

Nit: this is an O(nr_cpu_ids) write lock sweep
per socket close. Fine for taskstats, listeners are rare, but maybe
worth a comment saying you know?????? ↓

[PATCH v3 2/2] selftests: acct: test taskstats listener netns routing

[tjdqudcks0424]

From: 성병찬 <tjdqudcks0424@naver.com>

Add a regression test for CPU-mask listener routing across network
namespaces. The test registers a privileged listener in a child network
namespace and binds an unprivileged init_net socket to the same numeric
Generic Netlink port ID. A single pinned victim exit is observed by that
pair and by the normal controls.

On the unmodified kernel the child-netns listener misses the record and the
colliding init_net socket receives it, so the test fails. It passes when the
record reaches the child-netns listener and not the colliding socket. Decode
and validate the victim PID, TGID, UID, GID, comm, and exit code.

Also verify that an init_net administrator listener receives the record,
that explicit deregistration suppresses it, that an unrelated port ID does
not receive it, and that the unprivileged socket's direct query and listener
registration both fail with EPERM.

Use pipe handshakes instead of sleeps and bound every receive. Skip when the
test lacks root, CAP_NET_ADMIN in the initial user namespace, network
namespace support, or the taskstats Generic Netlink family.

NAK, Have you run this in a loop? I mean like 10 back to back runs on the
same boot, not one run per fresh QEMU boot.

It failed, but:

1: the test can't tell me which failure it was. receive_victim()
returns 0 both when there was no record and when the 3s deadline hit,
so "no record" and "recv timeout" print the same. Something like this
would separate them:

	int ret;
	...
	ret = wait_fd(fd, POLLIN, left);
	if (ret == -ETIMEDOUT) {
		result->recv_errno = -ret;   /* new field */
		return 0;
	}

or just print the Drops column from /proc/net/netlink for the socket
after the run, that would show a kernel sised drop.


2: first run, the
colliding socket got the victim record and the test failed exactly as
described. But every run after the first went silent: all four
listeners report found=0, including the init_net admin one that passed
in run 1

So NAK for now, I don't want this merged yet, sorry.

Re: [PATCH v3 2/2] selftests: acct: test taskstats listener netns routing

[tjdqudcks0424]

Hi Bradley,

Thank you for testing the series and for the detailed feedback.

I reproduced the repeated-run problem and found that the test was rejecting
valid unsolicited exit notifications after the first one.  The kernel uses
an increasing per-CPU nlmsg_seq for these notifications; run 1 used sequence
zero, while later runs used nonzero sequences that receive_victim() silently
discarded.  The normal init_net listener therefore appeared silent for the
same userspace reason even though unicast succeeded.

The test now distinguishes matched, unmatched, expected-no-record, poll
timeout, deadline expiry, malformed, receive-error, socket-error, and
suspected-drop outcomes.  It reports receive counters and per-socket
/proc/net/netlink diagnostics, including Drops.  I also made registration,
victim exit, deregistration, close, and reap ordering explicit, added bounded
cooperative cleanup, and made closed-pipe cleanup SIGPIPE-safe.

I ran the same test binary 20 times back-to-back on one vulnerable boot.
Every run delivered the exact victim record to the colliding unprivileged
init_net socket instead of the child-netns registrar, while the normal
administrator and negative controls behaved as expected.  I then ran it 20
times back-to-back on each of two fixed boots; all 40 runs passed.  After
four induced failure modes, the post-failure recovery test passed 10/10.

I also repeated the validation on current mainline: the vulnerable kernel
reproduced 10/10, two fixed boots passed 20/20 each, and post-failure
recovery passed 10/10.

I added comments documenting the socket-private namespace lifetime and the
intentional all-CPU listener sweep during socket destruction.

I will send v4 as a separate series after allowing time for review.

Thanks,
Sung Byeongchan

Please slow down, there's no rush here and you aren't giving people a
chance to test or review any of this.
