[PATCH net v6 0/3] Insulate Kernel Space From SOCK_ADDR Hooks

==OVERVIEW==

The sock_sendmsg(), kernel_connect(), and kernel_bind() functions
provide kernel space equivalents to the sendmsg(), connect(), and bind()
system calls.

When used in conjunction with BPF SOCK_ADDR hooks that rewrite the send,
connect, or bind address, callers may observe that the address passed to
the call is modified. This is a problem not just in theory, but in
practice, with uninsulated calls to kernel_connect() causing issues with
broken NFS and CIFS mounts.

commit 0bdf399342c5 ("net: Avoid address overwrite in kernel_connect")
ensured that callers to kernel_connect() are insulated from such effects
by passing a copy of the address parameter down the stack, but did not
go far enough:

- There remain many instances of direct calls to sock->ops->connect()
  throughout the kernel which do not benefit from the change to
  kernel_connect().
- sock_sendmsg() and kernel_bind() remain uninsulated from address
  rewrites and there exist many direct calls to sock->ops->bind()
  throughout the kernel.

This patch series is the first step to ensuring all socket operations in
kernel space are safe to use with BPF SOCK_ADDR hooks. It

1) Wraps direct calls to sock->ops->connect() with kernel_connect() to
   insulate them.
2) Introduces an address copy to sock_sendmsg() to insulate both calls
   to kernel_sendmsg() and sock_sendmsg() in kernel space.
3) Introduces an address copy to kernel_bind() and wraps direct calls to
   sock->ops->bind() to insulate them.

Earlier versions of this patch series wrapped all calls to
sock->ops->conect() and sock->ops->bind() throughout the kernel, but
this was pared down to instances occuring only in net to avoid merge
conflicts. A set of patches to various trees will be made as a follow up
to this series to address this gap.

==CHANGELOG==

V5->V6
------
- Preserve original value of msg->msg_namelen in sock_sendmsg() in
  anticipation of this patch that adds support for SOCK_ADDR hooks to
  Unix sockets and the ability to modify msg->msg_namelen:
  - https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]/T/#m181770af51156bdaa70fd4a4cb013ba11f28e101

V4->V5
------
- Removed non-net changes to avoid potential merge conflicts.

V3->V4
------
- Removed address length precondition checks from kernel_connect() and
  kernel_bind().
- Reordered variable declarations in sock_sendmsg() to maintain reverse
  xmas tree order.

V2->V3
------
- Added "Fixes" tags
- Added address length precondition checks to kernel_connect() and
  kernel_bind().

V1->V2
------
- Split up single patch into patch series.
- Wrapped all direct calls to sock->ops->connect() with kernel_connect()
  instead of pushing the address deeper into the stack to avoid
  duplication of address copy logic and to encourage a consistent
  interface.
- Moved address copy up the stack to sock_sendmsg() to avoid duplication
  of address copy logic.
- Introduced address copy to kernel_bind() and insulated direct calls to
  sock->ops->bind().

Jordan Rife (3):
  net: replace calls to sock->ops->connect() with kernel_connect()
  net: prevent rewrite of msg_name and msg_namelen in sock_sendmsg()
  net: prevent address rewrite in kernel_bind()
