As David Miller pointed out for for the previous patch, the whitespace in some functions looks rather odd. This was caused by commit 6329da5f ("obsolete config in kernel source: USE_INTERNAL_TIMER"), which removed some conditions but did not reindent the code. This fixes the indentation in the file and removes extraneous whitespace at the end of the lines and before tabs. There are many other minor coding style problems in the driver, but I'm not touching those here. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Couple conflicts resolved here: 1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes to support variable sized rings. 2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --> "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip. 3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up and reorganized in 'net-next'. 4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in 'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction in 'net'. It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against tc_skip_sw(). 5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some unrelated changes in 'net-next'. 6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head() bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of the same code in 'net-next'. Since the 'net-next' code no longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do other than to simply take the 'net-next' hunks. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

CAP_NET_ADMIN users should not be allowed to set negative sk_sndbuf or sk_rcvbuf values, as it can lead to various memory corruptions, crashes, OOM... Note that before commit 82981930 ("net: cleanups in sock_setsockopt()"), the bug was even more serious, since SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF were vulnerable. This needs to be backported to all known linux kernels. Again, many thanks to syzkaller team for discovering this gem.

Qian Zhang (张谦) reported a potential socket buffer overflow in tipc_msg_build() which is also known as CVE-2016-8632: due to insufficient checks, a buffer overflow can occur if MTU is too short for even tipc headers. As anyone can set device MTU in a user/net namespace, this issue can be abused by a regular user. As agreed in the discussion on Ben Hutchings' original patch, we should check the MTU at the moment a bearer is attached rather than for each processed packet. We also need to repeat the check when bearer MTU is adjusted to new device MTU. UDP case also needs a check to avoid overflow when calculating bearer MTU.

Gregory CLEMENT says: ==================== Support Armada 37xx SoC (ARMv8 64-bits) in mvneta driver The Armada 37xx is a new ARMv8 SoC from Marvell using same network controller as the older Armada 370/38x/XP SoCs. This series adapts the driver in order to be able to use it on this new SoC. The main changes are: - 64-bits support: the first patches allow using the driver on a 64-bit architecture. - MBUS support: the mbus configuration is different on Armada 37xx from the older SoCs. - per cpu interrupt: Armada 37xx do not support per cpu interrupt for the NETA IP, the non-per-CPU behavior was added back. The first patch is an optimization in the rx path in swbm mode. The second patch remove unnecessary allocation for HWBM. The first item is solved by patches 4 and 5. The 2 last items are solved by patch 6. In patch 7 the dt support is added. Beside Armada 37xx, this series have been again tested on Armada XP and Armada 38x (with Hardware Buffer Management and with Software Buffer Management). This is the 6th version of the series: - 1st version: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-November/469588.html - 2nd version: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-November/470476.html - 3rd version: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-November/470901.html - 4th version: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-November/471039.html - 5th version: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-November/471478.html Changelog: v5 -> v6: - Added Tested-by from Marcin Wojtas on the series - Added Reviewed-by from Jisheng Zhang on patch 3 - Fix eth1 phy mode for Armada 3720 DB board on patch 7 v4 -> v5: - remove unnecessary cast in patch 3 v3 -> v4: - Adding new patch: "net: mvneta: do not allocate buffer in rxq init with HWBM" - Simplify the HWBM case in patch 3 as suggested by Marcin v2 -> v3: - Adding patch 1 "Optimize rx path for small frame" - Fix the kbuild error by moving the "phys_addr += pp->rx_offset_correction;" line from patch 2 to patch 3 where rx_offset_correction is introduced. - Move the memory allocation of the buf_virt_addr of the rxq to be called by the probe function in order to avoid a memory leak. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Armada 3700 is a new ARMv8 SoC from Marvell using same network controller as older Armada 370/38x/XP. There are however some differences that needed taking into account when adding support for it: * open default MBUS window to 4GB of DRAM - Armada 3700 SoC's Mbus configuration for network controller has to be done on two levels: global and per-port. The first one is inherited from the bootloader. The latter can be opened in a default way, leaving arbitration to the bus controller. Hence filled mbus_dram_target_info structure is not needed * make per-CPU operation optional - Recent patches adding RSS and XPS support for Armada 38x/XP enabled per-CPU operation of the controller by default. Contrary to older SoC's Armada 3700 SoC's network controller is not capable of per-CPU processing due to interrupt lines' connectivity. This patch restores non-per-CPU operation, which is now optional and depends on neta_armada3700 flag value in mvneta_port structure. In order not to complicate the code, separate interrupt subroutine is implemented. For now, on the Armada 3700, RSS is disabled as the current implementation depend on the per cpu interrupts.

Until now the virtual address of the received buffer were stored in the cookie field of the rx descriptor. However, this field is 32-bits only which prevents to use the driver on a 64-bits architecture. With this patch the virtual address is stored in an array not shared with the hardware (no more need to use the DMA API). Thanks to this, it is possible to use cache contrary to the access of the rx descriptor member. The change is done in the swbm path only because the hwbm uses the cookie field, this also means that currently the hwbm is not usable in 64-bits.

David Ahern says: ==================== net: Add bpf support for sockets The recently added VRF support in Linux leverages the bind-to-device API for programs to specify an L3 domain for a socket. While SO_BINDTODEVICE has been around for ages, not every ipv4/ipv6 capable program has support for it. Even for those programs that do support it, the API requires processes to be started as root (CAP_NET_RAW) which is not desirable from a general security perspective. This patch set leverages Daniel Mack's work to attach bpf programs to a cgroup to provide a capability to set sk_bound_dev_if for all AF_INET{6} sockets opened by a process in a cgroup when the sockets are allocated. For example: 1. configure vrf (e.g., using ifupdown2) auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp vrf mgmt auto mgmt iface mgmt vrf-table auto 2. configure cgroup mount -t cgroup2 none /tmp/cgroupv2 mkdir /tmp/cgroupv2/mgmt test_cgrp2_sock /tmp/cgroupv2/mgmt 15 3. set shell into cgroup (e.g., can be done at login using pam) echo $$ >> /tmp/cgroupv2/mgmt/cgroup.procs At this point all commands run in the shell (e.g, apt) have sockets automatically bound to the VRF (see output of ss -ap 'dev == <vrf>'), including processes not running as root. This capability enables running any program in a VRF context and is key to deploying Management VRF, a fundamental configuration for networking gear, with any Linux OS installation. This patchset also exports the socket family, type and protocol as read-only allowing bpf filters to deny a process in a cgroup the ability to open specific types of AF_INET or AF_INET6 sockets. v7 - comments from Alexei v6 - add export of socket family, type and protocol ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
