2020-09-18tipc: add automatic rekeying for encryption keyTuong Lien1-0/+1
Rekeying is required for security since a key is less secure when using for a long time. Also, key will be detached when its nonce value (or seqno ...) is exhausted. We now make the rekeying process automatic and configurable by user. Basically, TIPC will at a specific interval generate a new key by using the kernel 'Random Number Generator' cipher, then attach it as the node TX key and securely distribute to others in the cluster as RX keys (- the key exchange). The automatic key switching will then take over, and make the new key active shortly. Afterwards, the traffic from this node will be encrypted with the new session key. The same can happen in peer nodes but not necessarily at the same time. For simplicity, the automatically generated key will be initiated as a per node key. It is not too hard to also support a cluster key rekeying (e.g. a given node will generate a unique cluster key and update to the others in the cluster...), but that doesn't bring much benefit, while a per-node key is even more secure. We also enable user to force a rekeying or change the rekeying interval via netlink, the new 'set key' command option: 'TIPC_NLA_NODE_REKEYING' is added for these purposes as follows: - A value >= 1 will be set as the rekeying interval (in minutes); - A value of 0 will disable the rekeying; - A value of 'TIPC_REKEYING_NOW' (~0) will force an immediate rekeying; The default rekeying interval is (60 * 24) minutes i.e. done every day. There isn't any restriction for the value but user shouldn't set it too small or too large which results in an "ineffective" rekeying (thats ok for testing though).

2020-09-18tipc: introduce encryption master keyTuong Lien1-0/+1
In addition to the supported cluster & per-node encryption keys for the en/decryption of TIPC messages, we now introduce one option for user to set a cluster key as 'master key', which is simply a symmetric key like the former but has a longer life cycle. It has two purposes: - Authentication of new member nodes in the cluster. New nodes, having no knowledge of current session keys in the cluster will still be able to join the cluster as long as they know the master key. This is because all neighbor discovery (LINK_CONFIG) messages must be encrypted with this key. - Encryption of session encryption keys during automatic exchange and update of those.This is a feature we will introduce in a later commit in this series. We insert the new key into the currently unused slot 0 in the key array and start using it immediately once the user has set it. After joining, a node only knowing the master key should be fully communicable to existing nodes in the cluster, although those nodes may have their own session keys activated (i.e. not the master one). To support this, we define a 'grace period', starting from the time a node itself reports having no RX keys, so the existing nodes will use the master key for encryption instead. The grace period can be extended but will automatically stop after e.g. 5 seconds without a new report. This is also the basis for later key exchanging feature as the new node will be impossible to decrypt anything without the support from master key. For user to set a master key, we define a new netlink flag - 'TIPC_NLA_NODE_KEY_MASTER', so it can be added to the current 'set key' netlink command to specify the setting key to be a master key. Above all, the traditional cluster/per-node key mechanism is guaranteed to work when user comes not to use this master key option. This is also compatible to legacy nodes without the feature supported. Even this master key can be updated without any interruption of cluster connectivity but is so is needed, this has to be coordinated and set by the user.

2019-12-21tipc: make legacy address flag readable over netlinkJohn Rutherford1-0/+2
To enable iproute2/tipc to generate backwards compatible printouts and validate command parameters for nodes using a <z.c.n> node address, it needs to be able to read the legacy address flag from the kernel. The legacy address flag records the way in which the node identity was originally specified. The legacy address flag is requested by the netlink message TIPC_NL_ADDR_LEGACY_GET. If the flag is set the attribute TIPC_NLA_NET_ADDR_LEGACY is set in the return message.

On the other hand, the 'KEY_FLUSH' command will remove all existing keys if any.

2019-03-19tipc: support broadcast/replicast configurable for bc-linkHoang Le1-0/+2
Currently, a multicast stream uses either broadcast or replicast as transmission method, based on the ratio between number of actual destinations nodes and cluster size. However, when an L2 interface (e.g., VXLAN) provides pseudo broadcast support, this becomes very inefficient, as it blindly replicates multicast packets to all cluster/subnet nodes, irrespective of whether they host actual target sockets or not. The TIPC multicast algorithm is able to distinguish real destination nodes from other nodes, and hence provides a smarter and more efficient method for transferring multicast messages than pseudo broadcast can do. Because of this, we now make it possible for users to force the broadcast link to permanently switch to using replicast, irrespective of which capabilities the bearer provides, or pretend to provide. Conversely, we also make it possible to force the broadcast link to always use true broadcast. While maybe less useful in deployed systems, this may at least be useful for testing the broadcast algorithm in small clusters. We retain the current AUTOSELECT ability, i.e., to let the broadcast link automatically select which algorithm to use, and to switch back and forth between broadcast and replicast as the ratio between destination node number and cluster size changes. This remains the default method. Furthermore, we make it possible to configure the threshold ratio for such switches. The default ratio is now set to 10%, down from 25% in the earlier implementation.

2018-03-23tipc: add 128-bit node identifierJon Maloy1-0/+2
We add a 128-bit node identity, as an alternative to the currently used 32-bit node address. For the sake of compatibility and to minimize message header changes we retain the existing 32-bit address field. When not set explicitly by the user, this field will be filled with a hash value generated from the much longer node identity, and be used as a shorthand value for the latter. We permit either the address or the identity to be set by configuration, but not both, so when the address value is set by a legacy user the corresponding 128-bit node identity is generated based on the that value.

2018-03-22tipc: implement socket diagnostics for AF_TIPCGhantaKrishnamurthy MohanKrishna1-0/+18
This commit adds socket diagnostics capability for AF_TIPC in netlink family NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG in a new kernel module (diag.ko). The following are key design considerations: - config TIPC_DIAG has default y, like INET_DIAG. - only requests with flag NLM_F_DUMP is supported (dump all). - tipc_sock_diag_req message is introduced to send filter parameters. - the response attributes are of TLV, some nested. To avoid exposing data structures between diag and tipc modules and avoid code duplication, the following additions are required: - export tipc_nl_sk_walk function to reuse socket iterator. - export tipc_sk_fill_sock_diag to fill the tipc diag attributes. - create a sock_diag response message in __tipc_add_sock_diag defined in diag.c and use the above exported tipc_sk_fill_sock_diag to fill response.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was chosen based on the license information in the file. GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall exception: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL code, without confusing license compliance tools. Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format is: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE) SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will happen in a separate step. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

This patch introduces UDP replicast. A concept where we emulate multicast by sending multiple unicast messages to configured peers. The purpose of replicast is mainly to be able to use TIPC in cloud environments where IP multicast is disabled. Using replicas to unicast multicast messages is costly as we have to copy each skb and send the copies individually.

2014-11-21tipc: add bearer disable/enable to new netlink apiRichard Alpe1-0/+83
A new netlink API for tipc that can disable or enable a tipc bearer. The new API is separated from the old API because of a bug in the user space client (tipc-config). The problem is that older versions of tipc-config has a very low receive limit and adding commands to the legacy genl_opts struct causes the ctrl_getfamily() response message to grow, subsequently breaking the tool. The new API utilizes netlink policies for input validation. Where the top-level netlink attributes are tipc-logical entities, like bearer. The top level entities then contain nested attributes. In this case a name, nested link properties and a domain.
