While compiling the following warning occurs: WARNING: net/built-in.o(.init.text+0x602c): Section mismatch in reference from the function bt_init() to the function .exit.text:sco_exit() The function __init bt_init() references a function __exit sco_exit(). This is often seen when error handling in the init function uses functionality in the exit path. The fix is often to remove the __exit annotation of sco_exit() so it may be used outside an exit section. Since commit 6d785aa3 ("Bluetooth: Convert mgmt to use HCI chan registration API") the function "sco_exit" is used inside of function "bt_init". The suggested solution by remove the __exit annotation solved this issue. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@intel.com>

Currently the mgmt_event() function is only capable of sending to HCI_CHANNEL_CONTROL. To void having to change all users of it, add a new mgmt_send_event() function that takes a channel parameter, and make the old mgmt_event() a wrapper that passes MGMT_CHANNEL_CONTROL to it.

In order to completely generalize the mgmt command handling we need to move away command-specific information from mgmt_control() into the actual command table. This patch adds a new 'flags' field to the handler entries which can now contain the following command specific information: - Command takes variable length parameters - Command doesn't target any specific HCI device - Command can be sent when the HCI device is unconfigured After this the mgmt_control() function is completely generic and can potentially be reused by new HCI channels.

Currently it is not possible to determine if the static address is used by the controller. It is also not possible to determine if using a static on a dual-mode controller with disabled BR/EDR is possible or not. To address this issue, introduce a new setting called static-address. If support for this setting is signaled that means that the kernel supports using static addresses. And if used on dual-mode controllers with BR/EDR disabled it means that a configured static address can be used. In addition utilize the same setting for the list of current active settings that indicates if a static address is configured and if that address will be actually used. With this in mind the existing Set Static Address management command has been extended to return the current settings. That way the caller of that command can easily determine if the programmed address will be used or if extra steps are required.

This patch fixes service discovery behaviour, when provided uuid filter is empty and HCI_QUIRK_STRICT_DUPLICATE_FILTER is set. Before this patch, empty uuid filter was unable to trigger scan restart, and that caused inconsistent behaviour in applications. Example: two DBus clients call BlueZ, one to find all devices with service abcd, second to find all devices with rssi smaller than -90. Sum of those filters, that is passed to mgmt_service_scan is empty filter, with no rssi or uuids set. That caused kernel not to restart scan when quirk was set. That was inconsistent with what happen when there's only one of those two filters set (scan is restarted and reports devices). To fix that, new variable hdev->discovery.result_filtering was introduced. It can indicate that filtered scan is running, no matter what uuid or rssi filter is set.

This patch refactor code responsible for filtering when service discovery method is used. Previously this code was mixed with mgmt_device found logic.

In the most cases the spi messages has a length of two. Currently we always set the the len field to two before transmit a spi message. In cases for read out/write in the frame buffer we need another len. This patch use trx len two as default. For the frame buffer cases we restore the trx len to two on success and failure. This will reduce the len setting of two when it's already two. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

This patch introduce a transmit retry handling into at86rf230 transmit path. Current behaviour is to wait the normal receive time if we want to go into STATE_TX_ON when the transceiver is in STATE_BUSY_RX_AACK which indicates that a frame is currently receiving. A non force state change will not interrupt the the receiving state. The current behaviour is that after the normal receive time we will start a force change into STATE_TX_ON. With this patch we do seven retries to go into STATE_TX_ON without forcing. After we hit the AT86RF2XX_MAX_TX_RETRIES we will start the force state change. This is a polling like method to go into STATE_TX_ON in times of maximum receiving time. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

New chipset have similar firmware downloading sequences to previous chipset from Atheros, however, it doesn't support vid/pid switching after downloading the patch so that firmware needs to be handled by btusb module directly. ROME chipset can be differentiated from previous version by reading ROM version.

Currently the iocb argument is used to idenfiy whether or not socket lock is hold before tipc_sendmsg()/tipc_send_stream() is called. But this usage prevents iocb argument from being dropped through sendmsg() at socket common layer. Therefore, in the commit we introduce two new functions called __tipc_sendmsg() and __tipc_send_stream(). When they are invoked, it assumes that their callers have taken socket lock, thereby avoiding the weird usage of iocb argument.

Eyal Birger says: ==================== net: move skb->dropcount to skb->cb[] Commit 97775007 ("af_packet: add interframe drop cmsg (v6)") unionized skb->mark and skb->dropcount in order to allow recording of the socket drop count while maintaining struct sk_buff size. skb->dropcount was introduced since there was no available room in skb->cb[] in packet sockets. However, its introduction led to the inability to export skb->mark to userspace. It was considered to alias skb->priority instead of skb->mark. However, that would lead to the inabilty to export skb->priority to userspace if desired. Such change may also lead to hard-to-find issues as skb->priority is assumed to be alias free, and, as noted by Shmulik Ladkani, is not 'naturally orthogonal' with other skb fields. This patch series follows the suggestions made by Eric Dumazet moving the dropcount metric to skb->cb[], eliminating this problem at the expense of 4 bytes less in skb->cb[] for protocol families using it. The patch series include compactization of bluetooth and packet use of skb->cb[] as well as the infrastructure for placing dropcount in skb->cb[]. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit 3b885787 ("net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg") allowed receiving packet dropcount information as a socket level option. RXRPC sockets recvmsg function was changed to support this by calling sock_recv_ts_and_drops() instead of sock_recv_timestamp(). However, protocol families wishing to receive dropcount should call sock_queue_rcv_skb() or set the dropcount specifically (as done in packet_rcv()). This was not done for rxrpc and thus this feature never worked on these sockets.

When a PADT frame is received, the socket may not be in a good state to close down the PPP interface. The current implementation handles this by simply blocking all further PPP traffic, and hoping that the lack of traffic will trigger the user to investigate. Use schedule_work to get to a process context from which we clear down the PPP interface, in a fashion analogous to hangup on a TTY-based PPP interface. This causes pppd to disconnect immediately, and allows tools to take immediate corrective action. Note that pppd's rp_pppoe.so plugin has code in it to disable the session when it disconnects; however, as a consequence of this patch, the session is already disabled before rp_pppoe.so is asked to disable the session. The result is a harmless error message: Failed to disconnect PPPoE socket: 114 Operation already in progress This message is safe to ignore, as long as the error is 114 Operation already in progress; in that specific case, it means that the PPPoE session has already been disabled before pppd tried to disable it.

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== eBPF support for cls_bpf This is the non-RFC version of my patchset posted before netdev01 [1] conference. It contains a couple of eBPF cleanups and preparation patches to get eBPF support into cls_bpf. The last patch adds the actual support. I'll post the iproute2 parts after the kernel bits are merged, an initial preview link to the code is mentioned in the last patch. Patch 4 and 5 were originally one patch, but I've split them into two parts upon request as patch 4 only is also needed for Alexei's tracing patches that go via tip tree. Tested with tc and all in-kernel available BPF test suites. I have configured and built LLVM with --enable-experimental-targets=BPF but as Alexei put it, the plan is to get rid of the experimental status in future [2]. Thanks a lot! v1 -> v2: - Removed arch patches from this series - x86 is already queued in tip tree, under x86/mm - arm64 just reposted directly to arm folks - Rest is unchanged [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/350191 [2] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1874969 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This work extends the "classic" BPF programmable tc classifier by extending its scope also to native eBPF code! This allows for user space to implement own custom, 'safe' C like classifiers (or whatever other frontend language LLVM et al may provide in future), that can then be compiled with the LLVM eBPF backend to an eBPF elf file. The result of this can be loaded into the kernel via iproute2's tc. In the kernel, they can be JITed on major archs and thus run in native performance. Simple, minimal toy example to demonstrate the workflow: #include <linux/ip.h> #include <linux/if_ether.h> #include <linux/bpf.h> #include "tc_bpf_api.h" __section("classify") int cls_main(struct sk_buff *skb) { return (0x800 << 16) | load_byte(skb, ETH_HLEN + __builtin_offsetof(struct iphdr, tos)); } char __license[] __section("license") = "GPL"; The classifier can then be compiled into eBPF opcodes and loaded via tc, for example: clang -O2 -emit-llvm -c cls.c -o - | llc -march=bpf -filetype=obj -o cls.o tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf cls.o [...] As it has been demonstrated, the scope can even reach up to a fully fledged flow dissector (similarly as in samples/bpf/sockex2_kern.c). For tc, maps are allowed to be used, but from kernel context only, in other words, eBPF code can keep state across filter invocations. In future, we perhaps may reattach from a different application to those maps e.g., to read out collected statistics/state. Similarly as in socket filters, we may extend functionality for eBPF classifiers over time depending on the use cases. For that purpose, cls_bpf programs are using BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS program type, so we can allow additional functions/accessors (e.g. an ABI compatible offset translation to skb fields/metadata). For an initial cls_bpf support, we allow the same set of helper functions as eBPF socket filters, but we could diverge at some point in time w/o problem. I was wondering whether cls_bpf and act_bpf could share C programs, I can imagine that at some point, we introduce i) further common handlers for both (or even beyond their scope), and/or if truly needed ii) some restricted function space for each of them. Both can be abstracted easily through struct bpf_verifier_ops in future. The context of cls_bpf versus act_bpf is slightly different though: a cls_bpf program will return a specific classid whereas act_bpf a drop/non-drop return code, latter may also in future mangle skbs. That said, we can surely have a "classify" and "action" section in a single object file, or considered mentioned constraint add a possibility of a shared section. The workflow for getting native eBPF running from tc [1] is as follows: for f_bpf, I've added a slightly modified ELF parser code from Alexei's kernel sample, which reads out the LLVM compiled object, sets up maps (and dynamically fixes up map fds) if any, and loads the eBPF instructions all centrally through the bpf syscall. The resulting fd from the loaded program itself is being passed down to cls_bpf, which looks up struct bpf_prog from the fd store, and holds reference, so that it stays available also after tc program lifetime. On tc filter destruction, it will then drop its reference. Moreover, I've also added the optional possibility to annotate an eBPF filter with a name (e.g. path to object file, or something else if preferred) so that when tc dumps currently installed filters, some more context can be given to an admin for a given instance (as opposed to just the file descriptor number). Last but not least, bpf_prog_get() and bpf_prog_put() needed to be exported, so that eBPF can be used from cls_bpf built as a module. Thanks to 60a3b225 ("net: bpf: make eBPF interpreter images read-only") I think this is of no concern since anything wanting to alter eBPF opcode after verification stage would crash the kernel.
