recvmmsg fails on a raw socket with EINVAL. The reason for this is packet_recvmsg checks the incoming flags: err = -EINVAL; if (flags & ~(MSG_PEEK|MSG_DONTWAIT|MSG_TRUNC|MSG_CMSG_COMPAT|MSG_ERRQUEUE)) goto out; This patch strips out MSG_WAITFORONE when calling recvmmsg which fixes the issue.

Those reduced to DEBUG can possibly be triggered by unprivileged processes and are nothing exceptional. Illegal checksum combinations can only be caused by driver bug, so promote those messages to WARN. Since GSO without SG will now only cause DEBUG message from netdev_fix_features(), remove the workaround from register_netdevice().

During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO gets out of sync with netdev->features. This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding setup and is hitting many VMware users. Simplified call sequence: 1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true. 2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled, so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features. 3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though netdev->features shows it's disabled. Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too. The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal in net-next, see commit a0d2730c "net: vmxnet3: convert to hw_features". Patch applies to 2.6.37 / 2.6.38 and 2.6.39-rc6. Please CC: comments.

Commit 747df225 ('sfc: Always map MCDI shared memory as uncacheable') introduced a separate mapping for the MCDI shared memory (MC_TREG_SMEM). This means we can no longer easily include it in the register dump. Since it is not particularly useful in debugging, substitute a recognisable dummy value.

Some Cisco phones do not place the Content-Length field at the end of the SIP message. This is valid, due to a misunderstanding of the specification the parser expects the SDP body to start directly after the Content-Length field.

Without this patch every access to ip_vs in procfs will increase the netns count i.e. an unbalanced get_net()/put_net(). (ipvsadm commands also use procfs.)

With some combinations of arch/compiler (e.g. arm-linux-gcc) the sizeof operator on structure returns value greater than expected. In cases when the structure is used for mapping PDU fields it may lead to unexpected results (such as holes and alignment problems in skb data). __packed prevents this undesired behavior.

Since commit e9df2e8f (Use appropriate sock tclass setting for routing lookup) we lost ability to properly add ECN codemarks to ipv6 TCP frames. It seems like TCP_ECN_send() calls INET_ECN_xmit(), which only sets the ECN bit in the IPv4 ToS field (inet_sk(sk)->tos), but after the patch, what's checked is inet6_sk(sk)->tclass, which is a completely different field.

We enabled write-combining for memory-mapped registers in commit 65f0b417, but inhibited it for the MCDI shared memory where this is not supported. However, write-combining mappings also allow read-reordering, which may also be a problem. I found that when an SFC9000-family controller is connected to an Intel 3000 chipset, and write-combining is enabled, the controller stops responding to PCIe read requests during driver initialisation while the driver is polling for completion of an MCDI command. This results in an NMI and system hang. Adding read memory barriers between all reads to the shared memory area appears to reduce but not eliminate the probability of this. We have not yet established whether this is a bug in our BIU or in the PCIe bridge. For now, work around by mapping the shared memory area separately.

Unlike the standard case, disabled anti replay detection needs some nontrivial extra treatment on ESN. RFC 4303 states: Note: If a receiver chooses to not enable anti-replay for an SA, then the receiver SHOULD NOT negotiate ESN in an SA management protocol. Use of ESN creates a need for the receiver to manage the anti-replay window (in order to determine the correct value for the high-order bits of the ESN, which are employed in the ICV computation), which is generally contrary to the notion of disabling anti-replay for an SA. So return an error if an ESN state with disabled anti replay detection is inserted for now and add the extra treatment later if we need it.

As it is, we assign the outer modes output function to the dst entry when we create the xfrm bundle. This leads to two problems on interfamily scenarios. We might insert ipv4 packets into ip6_fragment when called from xfrm6_output. The system crashes if we try to fragment an ipv4 packet with ip6_fragment. This issue was introduced with git commit ad0081e4 (ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets as needed). The second issue is, that we might insert ipv4 packets in netfilter6 and vice versa on interfamily scenarios. With this patch we assign the inner mode output function to the dst entry when we create the xfrm bundle. So xfrm4_output/xfrm6_output from the inner mode is used and the right fragmentation and netfilter functions are called. We switch then to outer mode with the output_finish functions.

during suspend/S3 state drv_flush is called from mac80211 irrespective of interface count. In ath9k we queue a work in ath9k_flush which we expect to be cancelled in the drv_stop call back. during suspend process mac80211 calls drv_stop only when the interface count(local->count) is non-zero. unfortunately when the network manager is enabled, drv_flush is called while drv_stop is not called as local->count reaches '0'. So fix this by simply checking for the device presence in the drv_flush call back in the driver before queueing work or anything else. this patch fixes the following WARNING Call Trace: [<c014c6e2>] warn_slowpath_common+0x72/0xa0 [<fc133f99>] ? ieee80211_can_queue_work+0x39/0x50 [mac80211] [<fc133f99>] ? ieee80211_can_queue_work+0x39/0x50 [mac80211] [<c014c75b>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x2b/0x30 [<fc133f99>] ieee80211_can_queue_work+0x39/0x50 [mac80211] [<fc134ed1>] ieee80211_queue_delayed_work+0x21/0x50 [mac80211] [<fc1e5b22>] ath_tx_complete_poll_work+0xb2/0x100 [ath9k] [<c016399e>] run_workqueue+0x8e/0x150 [<fc1e5a70>] ? ath_tx_complete_poll_work+0x0/0x100 [ath9k] [<c0163ae4>] worker_thread+0x84/0xe0 [<c0167a60>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x50 [<c0163a60>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0xe0 [<c01677d4>] kthread+0x74/0x80 [<c0167760>] ? kthread+0x0/0x80 [<c0104087>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 ---[ end trace 2aff81010df9215b ]--- Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mshajakhan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

When we are disconnecting, we set PS off, but this happens before we send the deauth/disassoc request. When the deauth/disassoc frames are sent, we trigger the dynamic ps timer, which then times out and turns PS back on. Thus, PS remains on after disconnecting, causing problems when associating again. This can be fixed by preventing the timer to start when we're not associated anymore. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

The IPv6 header is not zeroed out in alloc_skb so we must initialize it properly unless we want to see IPv6 packets with random TOS fields floating around. The current implementation resets the flow label but this could be changed if deemed necessary. We stumbled upon this issue when trying to apply a mangle rule to the RST packet generated by the REJECT target module.

DESCRIPTION This patch tries to restore the initial init and cleanup sequences that was before namspace patch. Netns also requires action when net devices unregister which has never been implemented. I.e this patch also covers when a device moves into a network namespace, and has to be released. IMPLEMENTATION The number of calls to register_pernet_device have been reduced to one for the ip_vs.ko Schedulers still have their own calls. This patch adds a function __ip_vs_service_cleanup() and an enable flag for the netfilter hooks. The nf hooks will be enabled when the first service is loaded and never disabled again, except when a namespace exit starts.

If the sync daemons run in a name space while it crashes or get killed, there is no way to stop them except for a reboot. When all patches are there, ip_vs_core will handle register_pernet_(), i.e. ip_vs_sync_init() and ip_vs_sync_cleanup() will be removed. Kernel threads should not increment the use count of a socket. By calling sk_change_net() after creating a socket this is avoided. sock_release cant be used intead sk_release_kernel() should be used. Thanks Eric W Biederman for your advices.

The optimizations in commit 255d0dc3 (netfilter: x_table: speedup compat operations) assume that xt_compat_add_offset is called once per rule. ebtables however called it for each match/target found in a rule. The match/watcher/target parser already returns the needed delta, so it is sufficient to move the xt_compat_add_offset call to a more reasonable location. While at it, also get rid of the unused COMPAT iterator macros. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
