Olivier Blin says: ==================== cdc-ether: handle promiscuous mode Since kernel 3.16, my Lenovo USB network adapters (RTL8153) using cdc-ether are not working anymore in a bridge. This is due to commit c472ab68, which resets the packet filter when the device is bound. The default packet filter set by cdc-ether does not include promiscuous, while the adapter seemed to have promiscuous enabled by default. This patch series allows to support promiscuous mode for cdc-ether, by hooking into set_rx_mode. Incidentally, maybe this device should be handled by the r8152 driver, but this patch series is still nice for other adapters. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Florian Fainelli says: ==================== net: systemport: RX path and suspend fixes These two patches fix a race condition where we have our RX interrupts enabled, but not NAPI for the RX path, and the second patch fixes an issue for packets stuck in RX fifo during a suspend/resume cycle. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Florian Fainelli authored
bcm_sysport_resume() was missing an UniMAC reset which can lead to various receive FIFO corruptions coming out of a suspend cycle. If the RX FIFO is stuck, it will deliver corrupted/duplicate packets towards the host CPU interface. This could be reproduced on crowded network and when Wake-on-LAN is enabled for this particular interface because the switch still forwards packets towards the host CPU interface (SYSTEMPORT), and we had to leave the UniMAC RX enable bit on to allow matching MagicPackets. Once we re-enter the resume function, there is a small window during which the UniMAC receive is still enabled, and we start queueing packets, but the RDMA and RBUF engines are not ready, which leads to having packets stuck in the UniMAC RX FIFO, ultimately delivered towards the host CPU as corrupted.

There is currently a small window during which the SYSTEMPORT adapter enables its RX interrupts without having enabled its NAPI handler, which can result in packets to be discarded during interface bringup. A similar but more serious window exists in bcm_sysport_resume() during which we can have the RDMA engine not fully prepared to receive packets and yet having RX interrupts enabled. Fix this my moving the RX interrupt enable down to bcm_sysport_netif_start() after napi_enable() for the RX path is called, which fixes both call sites: bcm_sysport_open() and bcm_sysport_resume().

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "Here are a few fixes for the wireless stack: one fixes the RTS rate, one for a debugfs file, one to return the correct channel to userspace, a sanity check for a userspace value and the remaining two are just documentation fixes." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "I revert here a patch that caused interoperability issues. dvm gets a fix for a bug that was reported by many users. Two minor fixes for BT Coex and platform power fix that helps reducing latency when the PCIe link goes to low power states." In addition... Felix Fietkau adds a couple of ath code fixes related to regulatory rule enforcement. Hauke Mehrtens fixes a build break with bcma when CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is not set. Karsten Wiese provides a trio of minor fixes for rtl8192cu. Kees Cook prevents a potential information leak in rtlwifi. Larry Finger also brings a trio of minor fixes for rtlwifi.

The patch stops this happening. The first patch detects this situation, and errors out the probe of DSA, making it more obvious something is wrong.

The mv88e6171 can support two different tagging protocols, DSA and EDSA. The switch driver structure only allows one protocol to be enumerated, and DSA was chosen. However the Kconfig entry ensures the EDSA tagging code is built. With a minimal configuration, we then end up with a mismatch. The probe is successful, EDSA tagging is used, but the switch is configured for DSA, resulting in mangled packets. Change the switch driver structure to enumerate EDSA, fixing the mismatch.

introduce two configs: - hidden CONFIG_BPF to select eBPF interpreter that classic socket filters depend on - visible CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL (default off) that tracing and sockets can use that solves several problems: - tracing and others that wish to use eBPF don't need to depend on NET. They can use BPF_SYSCALL to allow loading from userspace or select BPF to use it directly from kernel in NET-less configs. - in 3.18 programs cannot be attached to events yet, so don't force it on - when the rest of eBPF infra is there in 3.19+, it's still useful to switch it off to minimize kernel size bloat-o-meter on x64 shows: add/remove: 0/60 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-15601 (-15601) tested with many different config combinations.

From Sabrina Dubroca. 4) Don't compile ip options in bridge netfilter, this mangles the packet and bridge should not alter layer >= 3 headers when forwarding packets. Patch from Herbert Xu and tested by Florian Westphal. 5) Account the final NLMSG_DONE message when calculating the size of the nflog netlink batches. Patch from Florian Westphal. 6) Fix a possible netlink attribute length overflow with large packets. Again from Florian Westphal. 7) Release the skbuff if nfnetlink_log fails to put the final NLMSG_DONE message. This fixes a leak on error. This shouldn't ever happen though, otherwise this means we miscalculate the netlink batch size, so spot a warning if this ever happens so we can track down the problem. This patch from Houcheng Lin. 8) Look at the right list when recycling targets in the nft_compat, patch from Arturo Borrero. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

percpu tcp_md5sig_pool contains memory blobs that ultimately go through sg_set_buf(). -> sg_set_page(sg, virt_to_page(buf), buflen, offset_in_page(buf)); This requires that whole area is in a physically contiguous portion of memory. And that @buf is not backed by vmalloc(). Given that alloc_percpu() can use vmalloc() areas, this does not fit the requirements.

David Vrabel says: ==================== xen-netback: guest Rx queue drain and stall fixes This series fixes two critical xen-netback bugs. 1. Netback may consume all of host memory by queuing an unlimited number of skb on the internal guest Rx queue. This behaviour is guest triggerable. 2. Carrier flapping under high traffic rates which reduces performance. The first patch is a prerequite. Removing support for frontends with feature-rx-notify makes it easier to reason about the correctness of netback since it no longer has to support this outdated and broken mode. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

David Vrabel authored
If a frontend not receiving packets it is useful to detect this and turn off the carrier so packets are dropped early instead of being queued and drained when they expire. A to-guest queue is stalled if it doesn't have enough free slots for a an extended period of time (default 60 s). If at least one queue is stalled, the carrier is turned off (in the expectation that the other queues will soon stall as well). The carrier is only turned on once all queues are ready. When the frontend connects, all the queues start in the stalled state and only become ready once the frontend queues enough Rx requests.

David Vrabel authored
Netback needs to discard old to-guest skb's (guest Rx queue drain) and it needs detect guest Rx stalls (to disable the carrier so packets are discarded earlier), but the current implementation is very broken. 1. The check in hard_start_xmit of the slot availability did not consider the number of packets that were already in the guest Rx queue. This could allow the queue to grow without bound. The guest stops consuming packets and the ring was allowed to fill leaving S slot free. Netback queues a packet requiring more than S slots (ensuring that the ring stays with S slots free). Netback queue indefinately packets provided that then require S or fewer slots. 2. The Rx stall detection is not triggered in this case since the (host) Tx queue is not stopped. 3. If the Tx queue is stopped and a guest Rx interrupt occurs, netback will consider this an Rx purge event which may result in it taking the carrier down unnecessarily. It also considers a queue with only 1 slot free as unstalled (even though the next packet might not fit in this). The internal guest Rx queue is limited by a byte length (to 512 Kib, enough for half the ring). The (host) Tx queue is stopped and started based on this limit. This sets an upper bound on the amount of memory used by packets on the internal queue. This allows the estimatation of the number of slots for an skb to be removed (it wasn't a very good estimate anyway). Instead, the guest Rx thread just waits for enough free slots for a maximum sized packet. skbs queued on the internal queue have an 'expires' time (set to the current time plus the drain timeout). The guest Rx thread will detect when the skb at the head of the queue has expired and discard expired skbs. This sets a clear upper bound on the length of time an skb can be queued for. For a guest being destroyed the maximum time needed to wait for all the packets it sent to be dropped is still the drain timeout (10 s) since it will not be sending new packets. Rx stall detection is reintroduced in a later commit. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Reviewed-by: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Frontends that do not provide feature-rx-notify may stall because netback depends on the notification from frontend to wake the guest Rx thread (even if can_queue is false).

While the idea of that commit was to improve build coverage of the examples, the new Makefile is unable to cross compile the testptp program. In contrast, the deleted makefile was able to do this just fine. This patch fixes the regression by restoring the original makefile.

The kernel should reserve enough room in the skb so that the DONE message can always be appended. However, in case of e.g. new attribute erronously not being size-accounted for, __nfulnl_send() will still try to put next nlmsg into this full skbuf, causing the skb to be stuck forever and blocking delivery of further messages.

Since nobody has actually requested for parsing of IP options this patch fixes it by simply reverting to the previous approach of ignoring all IP options, i.e., zeroing the IPCB.
