      myri10ge: check for DMA mapping errors · a378b942
      Stanislaw Gruszka authored
      [ Upstream commit 10545937 ]
      
      On IOMMU systems DMA mapping can fail, we need to check for
      that possibility.

      net: Always untag vlan-tagged traffic on input. · 84beb1a9
      Vlad Yasevich authored
      [ Upstream commit 0d5501c1 ]
      
      Currently the functionality to untag traffic on input resides
      as part of the vlan module and is build only when VLAN support
      is enabled in the kernel.  When VLAN is disabled, the function
      vlan_untag() turns into a stub and doesn't really untag the
      packets.  This seems to create an interesting interaction
      between VMs supporting checksum offloading and some network drivers.
      
      There are some drivers that do not allow the user to change
      tx-vlan-offload feature of the driver.  These drivers also seem
      to assume that any VLAN-tagged traffic they transmit will
      have the vlan information in the vlan_tci and not in the vlan
      header already in the skb.  When transmitting skbs that already
      have tagged data with partial checksum set, the checksum doesn't
      appear to be updated correctly by the card thus resulting in a
      failure to establish TCP connections.
      
      The following is a packet trace taken on the receiver where a
      sender is a VM with a VLAN configued.  The host VM is running on
      doest not have VLAN support and the outging interface on the
      host is tg3:
      10:12:43.503055 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q
      (0x8100), length 78: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 27243,
      offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60)
          10.0.100.1.58545 > 10.0.100.10.ircu-2: Flags [S], cksum 0xdc39 (incorrect
      -> 0x48d9), seq 1069378582, win 29200, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val
      4294837885 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0
      10:12:44.505556 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q
      (0x8100), length 78: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 27244,
      offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60)
          10.0.100.1.58545 > 10.0.100.10.ircu-2: Flags [S], cksum 0xdc39 (incorrect
      -> 0x44ee), seq 1069378582, win 29200, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val
      4294838888 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0
      
      This connection finally times out.
      
      I've only access to the TG3 hardware in this configuration thus have
      only tested this with TG3 driver.  There are a lot of other drivers
      that do not permit user changes to vlan acceleration features, and
      I don't know if they all suffere from a similar issue.
      
      The patch attempt to fix this another way.  It moves the vlan header
      stipping code out of the vlan module and always builds it into the
      kernel network core.  This way, even if vlan is not supported on
      a virtualizatoin host, the virtual machines running on top of such
      host will still work with VLANs enabled.

      rtnetlink: fix VF info size · 53f8c7d2
      Jiri Benc authored
      [ Upstream commit 945a3676 ]
      
      Commit 1d8faf48 ("net/core: Add VF link state control") added new
      attribute to IFLA_VF_INFO group in rtnl_fill_ifinfo but did not adjust size
      of the allocated memory in if_nlmsg_size/rtnl_vfinfo_size. As the result, we
      may trigger warnings in rtnl_getlink and similar functions when many VF
      links are enabled, as the information does not fit into the allocated skb.

      netlink: reset network header before passing to taps · 47a0ff6c
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      [ Upstream commit 4e48ed88 ]
      
      netlink doesn't set any network header offset thus when the skb is
      being passed to tap devices via dev_queue_xmit_nit(), it emits klog
      false positives due to it being unset like:
      
        ...
        [  124.990397] protocol 0000 is buggy, dev nlmon0
        [  124.990411] protocol 0000 is buggy, dev nlmon0
        ...
      
      So just reset the network header before passing to the device; for
      packet sockets that just means nothing will change - mac and net
      offset hold the same value just as before.
