      tcp: fix infinite cwnd in tcp_complete_cwr() · 1cebce36
      Yuchung Cheng authored
      When the cwnd reduction is done, ssthresh may be infinite
      if TCP enters CWR via ECN or F-RTO. If cwnd is not undone, i.e.,
      undo_marker is set, tcp_complete_cwr() falsely set cwnd to the
      infinite ssthresh value. The correct operation is to keep cwnd
      intact because it has been updated in ECN or F-RTO.

      bpf jit: Let the powerpc jit handle negative offsets · 05be1824
      Jan Seiffert authored
      Now the helper function from filter.c for negative offsets is exported,
      it can be used it in the jit to handle negative offsets.
      
      First modify the asm load helper functions to handle:
      - know positive offsets
      - know negative offsets
      - any offset
      
      then the compiler can be modified to explicitly use these helper
      when appropriate.
      
      This fixes the case of a negative X register and allows to lift
      the restriction that bpf programs with negative offsets can't
      be jited.

      Bug is that sk_sockets_allocated_read_positive() calls
      percpu_counter_sum_positive() without BH being disabled.
      
      This bug was added in commit 180d8cd9
      (foundations of per-cgroup memory pressure controlling.), since previous
      code was using percpu_counter_read_positive() which is IRQ safe.
      
      In __sk_mem_schedule() we dont need the precise count of allocated
      sockets and can revert to previous behavior.

      netfilter: xt_CT: fix wrong checking in the timeout assignment path · 6cf51852
      Pablo Neira Ayuso authored
      The current checking always succeeded. We have to check the first
      character of the string to check that it's empty, thus, skipping
      the timeout path.
      
      This fixes the use of the CT target without the timeout option.

      drop_monitor: Make updating data->skb smp safe · 3885ca78
      Neil Horman authored
      Eric Dumazet pointed out to me that the drop_monitor protocol has some holes in
      its smp protections.  Specifically, its possible to replace data->skb while its
      being written.  This patch corrects that by making data->skb an rcu protected
      variable.  That will prevent it from being overwritten while a tracepoint is
      modifying it.

      It stems from holding a spinlock (trace_state_lock) while attempting to register
      or unregister tracepoint hooks, making in_atomic() true in this context, leading
      to the warning when the tracepoint calls might_sleep() while its taking a mutex.
      Since we only use the trace_state_lock to prevent trace protocol state races, as
      well as hardware stat list updates on an rcu write side, we can just convert the
      spinlock to a mutex to avoid this problem.

      tg3: Avoid panic from reserved statblk field access · f891ea16
      Matt Carlson authored
      When RSS is enabled, interrupt vector 0 does not receive any rx traffic.
      The rx producer index fields for vector 0's status block should be
      considered reserved in this case.  This patch changes the code to
      respect these reserved fields, which avoids a kernel panic when these
      fields take on non-zero values.

      ipvs: fix crash in ip_vs_control_net_cleanup on unload · 8f9b9a2f
      Julian Anastasov authored
      	commit 14e40546 (2.6.39)
      ("Add __ip_vs_control_{init,cleanup}_sysctl()")
      introduced regression due to wrong __net_init for
      __ip_vs_control_cleanup_sysctl. This leads to crash when
      the ip_vs module is unloaded.
      
      	Fix it by changing __net_init to __net_exit for
      the function that is already renamed to ip_vs_control_net_cleanup_sysctl.

      ipvs: Verify that IP_VS protocol has been registered · 7118c07a
      Sasha Levin authored
      The registration of a protocol might fail, there were no checks
      and all registrations were assumed to be correct. This lead to
      NULL ptr dereferences when apps tried registering.
      
      For example:

      e1000e: Fix default interrupt throttle rate not set in NIC HW · 727c356f
      Jeff Kirsher authored
      Based on the original patch from  Ying Cai <ycai@google.com>
      This change ensures that the itr/itr_setting adjustment logic is used,
      even for the default/compiled-in value.
      
      Context:
        When we changed the default InterruptThrottleRate value from default
        (3 = dynamic mode) to 8000 for example, only adapter->itr_setting
        (which controls interrupt coalescing mode) was set to 8000, but
        adapter->itr (which controls the value set in NIC register) was not
        updated accordingly. So from ethtool, it seemed the interrupt
        throttling is enabled at 8000 intr/s, but the NIC actually was
        running in dynamic mode which has lower CPU efficiency especially
        when throughput is not high.
