The change set of 4305b541, "[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->end to sk_buff_data_t" converted skb->end from pointer type to sk_buff_data_t. The pointed value should be accessed via skb_end_pointer(). Since arm arch doesn't define NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET, skb->end is effectively pointer. So it doesn't cause a real problem. But this patch is good for consistency. Found by inspection. Compile tested only. Cc: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by:

SCTP_STATIC is just another define for the static keyword. It's use is inconsistent in the SCTP code anyway and it was introduced in the initial implementation of SCTP in 2.5. We have a regression suite in lksctp-tools, but this is for user space only, so noone makes use of this macro anymore. The kernel test suite for 2.5 is incompatible with the current SCTP code anyway. So simply Remove it, to be more consistent with the rest of the kernel code. Signed-off-by:

alb_set_slave_mac_addr() sets the mac address in alb mode via dev_set_mac_address(), which might sleep. It's called from alb_handle_addr_collision_on_attach() in atomic context (under read_lock(bond->lock)), thus triggering a bug. Fix this by moving the lock inside alb_handle_addr_collision_on_attach(). v1->v2: As Nikolay Aleksandrov noticed, we can drop the bond->lock completely. Also, use bond_slave_has_mac(), when possible.

The current tg3 code assumes the pci_error_handlers to be always called in sequence. In particular, during ->error_detected(), NAPI is disabled and the device is shutdown. The device is later reset and NAPI re-enabled in ->slot_reset() and ->resume(). In EEH, if more than 6 errors are detected in a hour, only ->error_detected() will be called. This will leave the driver in an inconsistent state as NAPI is disabled but netif_running state is still true. When the device is later closed, we'll try to disable NAPI again and it will loop forever. We fix this by closing the device if we encounter any error conditions during the normal sequence of the pci_error_handlers. v2: Remove the changes in tg3_io_resume() based on Benjamin Poirier's feedback.

Paul Gortmaker says: ==================== This is a rework of the content sent earlier[1], with the following changes: -drop the Kconfig --> modparam conversion patch; this was requested to be replaced[2] with a dynamic port quantity resizing. Ying and Erik were discussing how best to achieve this, and then vacation schedules got in the way, so implementing that will come (hopefully) in the next round. -rework the sk_rcvbuf patch to allow memory resizing via sysctl as per what Ying and Neil discussed[3] -add 4 more seemingly straigtforward and relatively small changes from Ying (the last 4 in the series). -add cosmetic UAPI comment update patch from Ying. That said, the largest change is still the one where we make use of the fact that linux supports kernel threads and do the server like operations within kernel threads. As Jon says: We remove the last remnants of the TIPC native API, to make it possible to simplify locking policy and solve a problem with lost topology events. First, we introduce a socket-based alternative to the native API. Second, we convert the two remaining users of the native API, the TIPC internal topology server and the configuarion server, to use the new API. Third, we remove the remaining code pertaining to the native API. I have re-tested this collection of commits between 32 and 64 bit x86 machines using the standard tipc test suite, and build tested for ppc.

pfifo_fast is set as default traffic class queueing discipline. This queue has three so called "bands". Within each band, FIFO rules apply. However, as long as there are packets waiting in band 0, band 1 won't be processed. Now all kind of TIPC type packet priorities are never set, that is, their priorities are 0, so they are mapped to band 1 of pfifo_fast qdisc. But, especially during link congestion, if link protocol packet can be sent out as earlier as possible than other type of packets so that protocol packet can arrive at peer endpoint in time, the peer will timely reset its link timeout timer to keep the link alive. So enhancing the priority of link protocol packets can meet the specific demand to avoid unnecessary link reset due to a transient link congestion. Signed-off-by:

As the configuration server is now running under process context, it's unnecessary for us to have a spinlock serializing the TIPC configuration process. Instead, we replace it with a mutex lock, which gives us more freedom. For instance, we can now call pre-emptable functions within the protected area. Signed-off-by:

After the native API has been completely removed, the 'user_port' field in struct tipc_port becomes unused, and can be removed. As a consequence, the "usrmem" argument in tipc_msg_build() is no longer needed, and so we remove that one too. Signed-off-by:

As the new socket-based TIPC server infrastructure has been introduced, we can now convert the configuration server to use it. Then we can take future steps to simplify the configuration server locking policy. Some minor reordering of initialization is done, due to the dependency on having tipc_socket_init completed.

As the new TIPC server infrastructure has been introduced, we can now convert the TIPC topology server to it. We get two benefits from doing this: 1) It simplifies the topology server locking policy. In the original locking policy, we placed one spin lock pointer in the tipc_subscriber structure to reuse the lock of the subscriber's server port, controlling access to members of tipc_subscriber instance. That is, we only used one lock to ensure both tipc_port and tipc_subscriber members were safely accessed. Now we introduce another spin lock for tipc_subscriber structure only protecting themselves, to get a finer granularity locking policy. Moreover, the change will allow us to make the topology server code more readable and maintainable. 2) It fixes a bug where sent subscription events may be lost when the topology port is congested. Using the new service, the topology server now queues sent events into an outgoing buffer, and then wakes up a sender process which has been blocked in workqueue context. The process will keep picking events from the buffer and send them to their respective subscribers, using the kernel socket interface, until the buffer is empty. Even if the socket is congested during transmission there is no risk that events may be dropped, since the sender process may block when needed. Some minor reordering of initialization is done, since we now have a scenario where the topology server must be started after socket initialization has taken place, as the former depends on the latter. And overall, we see a simplification of the TIPC subscriber code in making this changeover. Signed-off-by:

TIPC has two internal servers, one providing a subscription service for topology events, and another providing the configuration interface. These servers have previously been running in BH context, accessing the TIPC-port (aka native) API directly. Apart from these servers, even the TIPC socket implementation is partially built on this API. As this API may simultaneously be called via different paths and in different contexts, a complex and costly lock policiy is required in order to protect TIPC internal resources. To eliminate the need for this complex lock policiy, we introduce a new, generic service API that uses kernel sockets for message passing instead of the native API. Once the toplogy and configuration servers are converted to use this new service, all code pertaining to the native API can be removed. This entails a significant reduction in code amount and complexity, and opens up for a complete rework of the locking policy in TIPC. The new service also solves another problem: As the current topology server works in BH context, it cannot easily be blocked when sending of events fails due to congestion. In such cases events may have to be silently dropped, something that is unacceptable. Therefore, the new service keeps a dedicated outbound queue receiving messages from BH context. Once messages are inserted into this queue, we will immediately schedule a work from a special workqueue. This way, messages/events from the topology server are in reality sent in process context, and the server can block if necessary. Analogously, there is a new workqueue for receiving messages. Once a notification about an arriving message is received in BH context, we schedule a work from the receive workqueue to do the job of receiving the message in process context. As both sending and receive messages are now finished in processes, subscribed events cannot be dropped any more. As of this commit, this new server infrastructure is built, but not actually yet called by the existing TIPC code, but since the conversion changes required in order to use it are significant, the addition is kept here as a separate commit.

TIPC's implied connect feature, aka piggyback connect, allows applications to save one syscall and all SYN/SYN-ACK signalling overhead when setting up a connection. Until now, this has only been supported for SEQPACKET sockets. Here, we make it possible to use this feature even with stream sockets. At the connecting side, the connection is completed when the first data message arrives from the accepting peer. This means that we must allow the connecting user to call blocking recv() before the socket has reached state SS_CONNECTED. So we must must relax the state machine check at recv_stream(), and allow the recv() call even if socket is in state SS_CONNECTING. Signed-off-by:

As per feedback from the netdev community, we change the buffer overflow protection algorithm in receiving sockets so that it always respects the nominal upper limit set in sk_rcvbuf. Instead of scaling up from a small sk_rcvbuf value, which leads to violation of the configured sk_rcvbuf limit, we now calculate the weighted per-message limit by scaling down from a much bigger value, still in the same field, according to the importance priority of the received message. To allow for administrative tunability of the socket receive buffer size, we create a tipc_rmem sysctl variable to allow the user to configure an even bigger value via sysctl command. It is a size of three (min/default/max) to be consistent with things like tcp_rmem. By default, the value initialized in tipc_rmem[1] is equal to the receive socket size needed by a TIPC_CRITICAL_IMPORTANCE message. This value is also set as the default value of sk_rcvbuf.

In case we need to bail out for whatever reason during assoc init, we call sctp_endpoint_put() and then sock_put(), however, we've hold both refs in reverse, non-symmetric order, so first sctp_endpoint_hold() and then sock_hold(). Reverse this, so that in an error case we have sock_put() and then sctp_endpoint_put(). Actually shouldn't matter too much, since both cleanup paths do the right thing, but that way, it is more consistent with the rest of the code. Signed-off-by:

It's only used at this one time, so we could remove it as well. This is valid and also makes it more explicit/obvious that in case of error the sp->ep is NULL here, i.e. for the sctp_destroy_sock() check that was recently added. Signed-off-by:

While this currently cannot trigger any NULL pointer dereference in sctp_seq_dump_local_addrs(), better change the order of commands to prevent a future bug to happen. Although we first add SCTP_CMD_NEW_ASOC and then set the SCTP_CMD_INIT_CHOOSE_TRANSPORT, it is okay for now, since this primitive is only called by sctp_connect() or sctp_sendmsg() with sctp_assoc_add_peer() set first. However, lets do this precaution and first set the transport and then add it to the association hashlist to prevent in future something to possibly triggering this. Signed-off-by:

This clearly states a BUG somewhere in the SCTP code as e.g. fixed once in f2815633 ("sctp: Use correct sideffect command in duplicate cookie handling"). If this ever happens, throw a trace in the sideeffect engine where assocs clearly must have a primary_path assigned. When in sctp_seq_dump_local_addrs() also throw a WARN and bail out since we do not need to panic for printing this one asterisk. Also, it will avoid the not so obvious case when primary != NULL test passes and at a later point in time triggering a NULL ptr dereference caused by primary. While at it, also fix up the white space. Signed-off-by:
