When the NAPI budget was not all used, xenvif_poll() would call napi_complete() /after/ enabling the interrupt. This resulted in a race between the napi_complete() and the napi_schedule() in the interrupt handler. The use of local_irq_save/restore() avoided by race iff the handler is running on the same CPU but not if it was running on a different CPU. Fix this properly by calling napi_complete() before reenabling interrupts (in the xenvif_napi_schedule_or_enable_irq() call).

John W. Linville says: ==================== pull request: wireless 2014-05-15 Please pull this batch of fixes for the 3.15 stream... For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "One fix is to get better VHT performance and the other fixes tracing garbage or other potential issues with the interface name tracing." And... "This has a fix from Emmanuel for a problem I failed to fix - when association is in progress then it needs to be cancelled while suspending (I had fixed the same for authentication). Also included a fix from myself for a userspace API problem that hit the iw tool and a fix to the remain-on-channel framework." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "Alex fixes the scan by disabling the fragmented scan. David prevents scan offload while associated, the firmware seems not to like it. I fix a stupid bug I made in BT Coex, and fix a bad #ifdef clause in rate scaling. Along with that there is a fix for a NULL pointer exception that can happen if we load the driver and our ISR gets called because the interrupt line is shared. The fix has been tested by the reporter." And... "We have here a fix from David Spinadel that makes a previous fix more complete, and an off-by-one issue fixed by Eliad in the same area. I fix the monitor that broke on the way." Beyond that... Daniel Kim's one-liner fixes a brcmfmac regression caused by a typo in an earlier commit.. Rajkumar Manoharan fixes an ath9k oops reported by David Herrmann. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

With commit be9dad1f ("net: phy: suspend phydev when going to HALTED"), an unused PHY device will be put in a low-power mode using BMCR_PDOWN. Some Ethernet drivers might be calling phy_start() and phy_stop() from ndo_open and ndo_close() respectively, while calling phy_connect() and phy_disconnect() from probe and remove. In such a case, the PHY will be powered down during the phy_stop() call, but will fail to be powered up in phy_start(). This patch fixes this scenario.

Or Gerlitz says: ==================== mlx4: Fix VF MAC address change under RoCE usage This short series provides proper handling for the case where a VF netdevice change their MAC address under a RoCE use case. The code it deals with was introduced in 3.15-rc1 Prior to this series the source MAC used for the VM RoCE CM packets remains as before the MAC modification. Hence RoCE CM packets sent by the VF will not carry the same source MAC address as the non-CM packets. Earlier 3.15-rc commit f24f790f "net/mlx4_core: Load the Eth driver first" handled just one instance of the problem, but this one provides a more generic and proper solution which covers all cases of VF mac change. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

When we receive a netdev event indicating a netdev change and/or a netdev address change, we must change the MAC index used by the proxy QP1 (in the QP context), otherwise RoCE CM packets sent by the VF will not carry the same source MAC address as the non-CM packets. We use the UPDATE_QP command to perform this change. In order to avoid modifying a QP context based on netdev event, while the driver attempts to destroy this QP (e.g either the mlx4_ib or ib_mad modules are unloaded), we use mutex locking in both flows. Since the relevant mlx4 proxy GSI QP is created indirectly by the mad module when they create their GSI QP, the mlx4 didn't need to keep track on that QP prior to this change. Now, when QP modifications are needed to this QP from within the driver, we added refernece to it.

The original series for reintroducing grant mapping for netback had a patch [1] to handle receiving of packets from an another VIF. Grant copy on the receiving side needs the grant ref of the page to set up the op. The original patch assumed (wrongly) that the frags array haven't changed. In the case reported by Sander, the sending guest sent a packet where the linear buffer and the first frag were under PKT_PROT_LEN (=128) bytes. xenvif_tx_submit() then pulled up the linear area to 128 bytes, and ditched the first frag. The receiving side had an off-by-one problem when gathered the grant refs. This patch fixes that by checking whether the actual frag's page pointer is the same as the page in the original frag list. It can handle any kind of changes on the original frags array, like: - removing granted frags from the array at any point - adding local pages to the frags list anywhere - reordering the frags It's optimized to the most common case, when there is 1:1 relation between the frags and the list, plus works optimal when frags are removed from the end or the beginning.

RFC 4861 states in 7.2.5: The IsRouter flag in the cache entry MUST be set based on the Router flag in the received advertisement. In those cases where the IsRouter flag changes from TRUE to FALSE as a result of this update, the node MUST remove that router from the Default Router List and update the Destination Cache entries for all destinations using that neighbor as a router as specified in Section 7.3.3. This is needed to detect when a node that is used as a router stops forwarding packets due to being configured as a host. Currently, when dealing with NA Message which IsRouter flag changes from TRUE to FALSE, the kernel only removes router from the Default Router List, and don't update the Destination Cache entries. Now in order to update those Destination Cache entries, i introduce function rt6_clean_tohost().

Conflicts: net/ipv4/ip_vti.c Steffen Klassert says: ==================== pull request (net): ipsec 2014-05-15 This pull request has a merge conflict in net/ipv4/ip_vti.c between commit 8d89dcdf ("vti: don't allow to add the same tunnel twice") and commit a3245236 ("vti4:Don't count header length twice"). It can be solved like it is done in linux-next. 1) Fix a ipv6 xfrm output crash when a packet is rerouted by netfilter to not use IPsec. 2) vti4 counts some header lengths twice leading to an incorrect device mtu. Fix this by counting these headers only once. 3) We don't catch the case if an unsupported protocol is submitted to the xfrm protocol handlers, this can lead to NULL pointer dereferences. Fix this by adding the appropriate checks. 4) vti6 may unregister pernet ops twice on init errors. Fix this by removing one of the calls to do it only once. From Mathias Krause. 5) Set the vti tunnel mark before doing a lookup in the error handlers. Otherwise we don't find the correct xfrm state. ==================== The conflict in ip_vti.c was simple, 'net' had a commit removing a line from vti_tunnel_init() and this tree being merged had a commit adding a line to the same location.

After the call to phy_init_hw failed in phy_attach_direct, phy_detach is called to detach the phy device from its network device. If the attached driver is a generic phy driver, this also detaches the driver. Subsequently phy_resume is called, which assumes without checking that a driver is attached to the device. This will result in a crash such as Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xffffffffffffff90 Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000003a0e18 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] ...

Multicast filtering is not working as expected, so if present in the hardware will not be used and promiscuous mode enabled instead. This workaround will be replaced with a working solution when completely debugged, integrated and tested. Version 2 is different from the first submission by breaking out the workaround as a seperate patch and addressing a few structure instance declarations by making them const per review comments. If you find this patch acceptable, please consider this for inclusion into the Altera TSE driver source code. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Change introduced by 88e48d7b ("batman-adv: make DAT drop ARP requests targeting local clients") implements a check that prevents DAT from using the caching mechanism when the client that is supposed to provide a reply to an arp request is local. However change brought by be1db4f6 ("batman-adv: make the Distributed ARP Table vlan aware") has not converted the above check into its vlan aware version thus making it useless when the local client is behind a vlan. Fix the behaviour by properly specifying the vlan when checking for a client being local or not.

Jouni reported that if a remain-on-channel was active on the same channel as the current operating channel, then the ROC would start, but any frames transmitted using mgmt-tx on the same channel would get delayed until after the ROC. The reason for this is that the ROC starts, but doesn't have any handling for "remain on the same channel", so it stops the interface queues. The later mgmt-tx then puts the frame on the interface queues (since it's on the current operating channel) and thus they get delayed until after the ROC. To fix this, add some logic to handle remaining on the same channel specially and not stop the queues etc. in this case. This not only fixes the bug but also improves behaviour in this case as data frames etc. can continue to flow.

net_get_random_once depends on the static keys infrastructure to patch up the branch to the slow path during boot. This was realized by abusing the static keys api and defining a new initializer to not enable the call site while still indicating that the branch point should get patched up. This was needed to have the fast path considered likely by gcc. The static key initialization during boot up normally walks through all the registered keys and either patches in ideal nops or enables the jump site but omitted that step on x86 if ideal nops where already placed at static_key branch points. Thus net_get_random_once branches not always became active. This patch switches net_get_random_once to the ordinary static_key api and thus places the kernel fast path in the - by gcc considered - unlikely path. Microbenchmarks on Intel and AMD x86-64 showed that the unlikely path actually beats the likely path in terms of cycle cost and that different nop patterns did not make much difference, thus this switch should not be noticeable.

Included changes: - properly release neigh_ifinfo in batadv_iv_ogm_process_per_outif() - properly release orig_ifinfo->router when freeing orig_ifinfo - properly release neigh_node objects during periodic check - properly release neigh_info objects when the related hard_iface is free'd These changes are all very important because they fix some reference counting imbalances that lead to the impossibility of releasing the netdev object used by batman-adv on shutdown. The consequence is that such object cannot be destroyed by the networking stack (the refcounter does not reach zero) thus bringing the system in hanging state during a normal reboot operation or a network reconfiguration.

Since commit 7e980569("ipv6: router reachability probing"), a router falls into NUD_FAILED will be probed. Now if function rt6_select() selects a router which neighbour state is NUD_FAILED, and at the same time function rt6_probe() changes the neighbour state to NUD_PROBE, then function dst_neigh_output() can directly send packets, but actually the neighbour still is unreachable. If we set nud_state to NUD_INCOMPLETE instead NUD_PROBE, packets will not be sent out until the neihbour is reachable. In addition, because the route should be probes with a single NS, so we must set neigh->probes to neigh_max_probes(), then the neigh timer timeout and function neigh_timer_handler() will not send other NS Messages.
