Arnd Bergmann says: ==================== ndo_ioctl rework This series is a follow-up to the series for removing compat_alloc_user_space() and copy_in_user() that has now been merged. I wanted to be sure I address all the ways that 'struct ifreq' is used in device drivers through .ndo_do_ioctl, originally to prove that my approach of changing the struct definition was correct, but then I discarded that approach and went on anyway. Roughly, the contents here are: - split out all the users of SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctls into a separate ndo_siocdevprivate callback, to better see what gets used where - fix compat handling for those drivers that pass data directly inside of 'ifreq' rather than using an indirect ifr_data pointer - remove unreachable code in ndo_ioctl handlers that relies on command codes we never pass into that, in particular for wireless drivers - split out the ethernet specific ioctls into yet another ndo_eth_ioctl callback, as these are by far the most common use of ndo_do_ioctl today. I considered splitting them further into MII and timestamp controls, but went with the simpler change for now. - split out bonding and wandev ioctls into separate helpers - rework the bridge handling with a separate callback At this point, only a few oddball things remain in ndo_do_ioctl: appletalk and ieee802154 pass down SIOCSIFADDR/SIOCGIFADDR and some wireless drivers have completely dead code. I have thoroughly compile tested this on randconfig builds, but not done any notable runtime testing, so please review. All of it is also available as part of a larger branch at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground.git \ compat-alloc-user-space-12 Changes since v2: - rebase to net-next - fix qeth regression - Cc driver maintainers for each patch and in cover letter Changes since v1: - rebase to linux-5.14-rc2 - add conversion for ndo_siowandev, bridge and bonding drivers - leave broken wifi drivers untouched for now Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20201106221743.3271965-14-arnd@kernel.org/ ====================

All other user triggered operations are gone from ndo_ioctl, so move the SIOCBOND family into a custom operation as well. The .ndo_ioctl() helper is no longer called by the dev_ioctl.c code now, but there are still a few definitions in obsolete wireless drivers as well as the appletalk and ieee802154 layers to call SIOCSIFADDR/SIOCGIFADDR helpers from inside the kernel.

Working towards obsoleting the .ndo_do_ioctl operation entirely, stop passing the SIOCBRADDIF/SIOCBRDELIF device ioctl commands into this callback. My first attempt was to add another ndo_siocbr() callback, but as there is only a single driver that takes these commands and there is already a hook mechanism to call directly into this driver, extend this hook instead, and use it for both the deviceless and the device specific ioctl commands.

Some drivers that use SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl commands modify the ifreq structure and expect it to be passed back to user space, which has never really happened for compat mode because the calling these drivers through ndo_do_ioctl requires overwriting the ifr_data pointer. Now that all drivers are converted to ndo_siocdevprivate, change it to handle this correctly in both compat and native mode. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

In order to further reduce the scope of ndo_do_ioctl(), move out the SIOCWANDEV handling into a new network device operation function. Adjust the prototype to only pass the if_settings sub-structure in place of the ifreq, and remove the redundant 'cmd' argument in the process.

Most users of ndo_do_ioctl are ethernet drivers that implement the MII commands SIOCGMIIPHY/SIOCGMIIREG/SIOCSMIIREG, or hardware timestamping with SIOCSHWTSTAMP/SIOCGHWTSTAMP. Separate these from the few drivers that use ndo_do_ioctl to implement SIOCBOND, SIOCBR and SIOCWANDEV commands. This is a purely cosmetic change intended to help readers find their way through the implementation.

The compat handlers for SIOCDEVPRIVATE are incorrect for any driver that passes data as part of struct ifreq rather than as an ifr_data pointer, or that passes data back this way, since the compat_ifr_data_ioctl() helper overwrites the ifr_data pointer and does not copy anything back out. Since all drivers using devprivate commands are now converted to the new .ndo_siocdevprivate callback, fix this by adding the missing piece and passing the pointer separately the whole way. This further unifies the native and compat logic for socket ioctls, as the new code now passes the correct pointer as well as the correct data for both native and compat ioctls.

The ndo_do_ioctl callback is never called with the COSAIO* commands, so this is never used. Call the hdlc_ioctl function directly instead.

The wan drivers each support some custom SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctls, plus the common SIOCWANDEV command. Split these so the ioctl callback only deals with SIOCWANDEV and the rest is handled by ndo_siocdevprivate. It might make sense to also split out SIOCWANDEV into a separate callback in order to eventually remove ndo_do_ioctl entirely.

The bonding driver supports two command codes for each operation: one in the SIOCDEVPRIVATE range and another one with the same definition but a unique command code. Only the second set currently works in compat mode, as the ifr_data expansion overwrites part of the ifr_slave field. Move the private ones into ndo_siocdevprivate and change the implementation to call the other function. This makes both version work correctly.

The tulip driver has a debugging method over ioctl built-in, but it does not actually check the command type, which may end up leading to random behavior when trying to run other ioctls on it. Change the driver to use ndo_siocdevprivate and limit the execution further to the first private command code. If anyone still has tools to run these debugging commands, they might have to be patched for it if they pass different ioctl command.

Arnd Bergmann authored
SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl commands are mainly used in really old drivers, and they have a number of problems: - They hide behind the normal .ndo_do_ioctl function that is also used for other things in modern drivers, so it's hard to spot a driver that actually uses one of these - Since drivers use a number different calling conventions, it is impossible to support compat mode for them in a generic way. - With all drivers using the same 16 commands codes, there is no way to introspect the data being passed through things like strace. Add a new net_device_ops callback pointer, to address the first two of these. Separating them from .ndo_do_ioctl makes it easy to grep for drivers with a .ndo_siocdevprivate callback, and the unwieldy name hopefully makes it easier to spot in code review. By passing the ifreq structure and the ifr_data pointer separately, it is no longer necessary to overload these, and the driver can use either one for a given command.

Neal Cardwell says: ==================== more accurate DSACK processing for RACK-TLP This patch series includes two minor improvements to tighten up the accuracy of the processing of incoming DSACK information, so that RACK-TLP behavior is faster and more precise: first, to ensure we detect packet loss in some extra corner cases; and second, to avoid growing the RACK reordering window (and delaying fast recovery) in cases where it seems clear we don't need to. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Previously, a DSACK could expand the RACK reordering window when no reordering has been seen, and/or when the DSACK was due to an unnecessary TLP retransmit (rather than a spurious fast recovery due to reordering). This could result in unnecessarily growing the RACK reordering window and thus unnecessarily delaying RACK-based fast recovery episodes. To avoid these issues, this commit tightens the conditions under which a DSACK triggers the RACK reordering window to grow, so that a connection only expands its RACK reordering window if: (a) reordering has been seen in the connection (b) a DSACKed range does not match the most recent TLP retransmit Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Priyaranjan Jha <priyarjha@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
