* [PATCH] NET: mkiss/6pack: Fix SIOCSIFENCAP ioctl [not found] <20170209131211.GA16072@linux-mips.org> @ 2017-02-10 23:01 ` Ralf Baechle 2017-02-11 10:53 ` walter harms 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Ralf Baechle @ 2017-02-10 23:01 UTC (permalink / raw) To: David S. Miller, netdev; +Cc: Thomas Osterried, linux-hams When looking at Thomas' mkiss fix 7ba1b6890387 ("NET: mkiss: Fix panic") I noticed that the mkiss SIOCSIFENCAPS ioctl was also doing a slightly strange assignment dev->hard_header_len = AX25_KISS_HEADER_LEN + AX25_MAX_HEADER_LEN + 3; AX25_MAX_HEADER_LEN already accounts for the KISS byte so adding AX25_KISS_HEADER_LEN is a double allocation nor does the "+ 3" seem to be necessary. So this can be simplified to dev->hard_header_len = AX25_MAX_HEADER_LEN which after the preceeding fix is a redundant assignment of what ax_setup has already assigned so delete the line. The assignments to dev->addr_len and dev->type are similarly redundant. The SIOCSIFENCAP argument was never checked for validity. Check that it is 4 and return -EINVAL if not. The magic constant 4 dates back to the days when KISS was handled by the SLIP driver where it had the symbol name SL_MODE_AX25. Since however mkiss.c only supports a single encapsulation mode there is no point in storing it in struct mkiss so delete all that. Note that while useless we can't delete the SIOCSIFENCAP ioctl as kissattach(8) is still using it and without mkiss issuing a SIOCSIFENCAP ioctl an older kernel that does not have Thomas' mkiss fix would still panic on attempt to transmit via mkiss. 6pack was suffering from the same issue except there SIOCGIFENCAP was return 0 for the encapsulation while the spattach utility was passing 4 for the mode, so the mode check added for 6pack is a bit more lenient allow the values 0 and 4 to be set. That way we retain the option to set different encapsulation modes for future extensions.
