br_fdb_update() can be called in process context in the following way: br_fdb_add() -> __br_fdb_add() -> br_fdb_update() (if NTF_USE flag is set) so we need to disable softirqs because there are softirq users of the hash_lock. One easy way to reproduce this is to modify the bridge utility to set NTF_USE, enable stp and then set maxageing to a low value so br_fdb_cleanup() is called frequently and then just add new entries in a loop. This happens because br_fdb_cleanup() is called from timer/softirq context. The spin locks in br_fdb_update were _bh before commit f8ae737d ("[BRIDGE]: forwarding remove unneeded preempt and bh diasables") and at the time that commit was correct because br_fdb_update() couldn't be called from process context, but that changed after commit: 292d1398 ("bridge: add NTF_USE support") Using local_bh_disable/enable around br_fdb_update() allows us to keep using the spin_lock/unlock in br_fdb_update for the fast-path.

The mpls device is used in an RCU read context without a lock being held. As the memory is freed without waiting for the RCU grace period to elapse, the freed memory could still be in use. Address this by using kfree_rcu to free the memory for the mpls device after the RCU grace period has elapsed. Fixes: 03c57747 ("mpls: Per-device MPLS state") Signed-off-by:

There are several places in the driver (all in control paths) where coherent dma memory is being allocated using either dma_alloc_coherent() or the deprecated pci_alloc_consistent(). All these calls should be changed to use dma_zalloc_coherent() to avoid uninitialized fields in data structures backed by this memory. Reported-by:

Anjali provides three fixes, first to resolve a Tx queue hang if mixed size frags are passed to the driver while using TSO. There was a corner case where we needed to linearize but we were not. Next fixes a bug in the default configuration which prevented a software bridge loaded on the PF interface from working correctly because broadcast packets are incorrectly looped back. Lastly fixes an NPAR bug when SRIOV is enabled, where we need to be in VEB mode, not VEPA mode at probe. ==================== Signed-off-by:

The patch fixes a bug in the default configuration which prevented a software bridge loaded on the PF interface from working correctly because broadcast packets are incorrectly looped back. Fix the general case, by loading the driver in VEPA mode Until a VF or VMDq VSI is added. This way loopback on the Main VSI is turned off until needed and can resolve the issue of unnecessary reflection for users that do not have VF or VMDq VSIs setup. The driver must now coordinate the loopback setting for the Flow Director (FDIR) VSI to make sure it is in sync with the current VEB or VEPA mode setting. The user can still switch bridge modes from the bridge commands and choose to be in VEPA mode with VF VSIs. Because of hardware requirements, the call to switch to VEB mode when no VF/VMDqs are present will be rejected. NOTE: This patch uses BIT_ULL as that is preferred going forward, a followup patch in the lower priority queue to net-next will fix up the remaining 1 << usages.

This patch fixes a bug where the i40e Tx queue will hang if this skb is passed to the driver. With mixed size fragments while using TSO there was a corner case where we needed to linearize but we were not. This was seen with iSCSI traffic and could be reproduced with a frag list that looks like this: num_frags = 17, gso_segs = 17, hdr_len = 66, skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_size = 1448 size = 3002, j = 1, frag_size = 2936, num_frags = 17 size = 4268, j = 1, frag_size = 4096, num_frags = 16 size = 5534, j = 1, frag_size = 4096, num_frags = 15 size = 5352, j = 1, frag_size = 4096, num_frags = 14 size = 5170, j = 1, frag_size = 4096, num_frags = 13 size = 3468, j = 1, frag_size = 2576, num_frags = 12 size = 750, j = 1, frag_size = 112, num_frags = 11 size = 862, j = 2, frag_size = 112, num_frags = 10 size = 974, j = 3, frag_size = 112, num_frags = 9 size = 1126, j = 4, frag_size = 152, num_frags = 8 size = 1330, j = 5, frag_size = 204, num_frags = 7 size = 1534, j = 6, frag_size = 204, num_frags = 6 size = 356, j = 1, frag_size = 204, num_frags = 5 size = 560, j = 2, frag_size = 204, num_frags = 4 size = 764, j = 3, frag_size = 204, num_frags = 3 size = 968, j = 4, frag_size = 204, num_frags = 2 size = 1140, j = 5, frag_size = 172, num_frags = 1 result: linearize = 0, j = 6 Change-ID: I79bb1aeab0af255fe2ce28e93672a85d85bf47e8 Signed-off-by:

421b3885 "udp: ipv4: Add udp early demux" introduced a regression that allowed sockets bound to INADDR_ANY to receive packets from multicast groups that the socket had not joined. For example a socket that had joined 224.168.2.9 could also receive packets from 225.168.2.9 despite not having joined that group if ip_early_demux is enabled. Fix this by calling ip_check_mc_rcu() in udp_v4_early_demux() to verify that the multicast packet is indeed ours. Signed-off-by:

On s390x we have to provide 160 bytes stack space before we can call the next function. From the 160 bytes that we got from the previous function we only use 11 * 8 bytes and have 160 - 11 * 8 bytes left. Currently for BPF we allocate additional 160 - 11 * 8 bytes for the next function. This is wrong because then the next function only gets: (160 - 11 * 8) + (160 - 11 * 8) = 2 * 72 = 144 bytes Fix this and allocate enough memory for the next function.

When we come to tear things down in netback_remove() and generate the uevent it is possible that the xenstore directory has already been removed (details below). In such cases netback_uevent() won't be able to read the hotplug script and will write a xenstore error node. A recent change to the hypervisor exposed this race such that we now sometimes lose it (where apparently we didn't ever before). Instead read the hotplug script configuration during setup and use it for the lifetime of the backend device. The apparently more obvious fix of moving the transition to state=Closed in netback_remove() to after the uevent does not work because it is possible that we are already in state=Closed (in reaction to the guest having disconnected as it shutdown). Being already in Closed means the toolstack is at liberty to start tearing down the xenstore directories. In principal it might be possible to arrange to unregister the device sooner (e.g on transition to Closing) such that xenstore would still be there but this state machine is fragile and prone to anger... A modern Xen system only relies on the hotplug uevent for driver domains, when the backend is in the same domain as the toolstack it will run the necessary setup/teardown directly in the correct sequence wrt xenstore changes.

sparc: Resolve conflict between sparc v9 and M7 on usage of bit 9 of TTE Bit 9 of TTE is CV (Cacheable in V-cache) on sparc v9 processor while the same bit 9 is MCDE (Memory Corruption Detection Enable) on M7 processor. This creates a conflicting usage of the same bit. Kernel sets TTE.cv bit on all pages for sun4v architecture which works well for sparc v9 but enables memory corruption detection on M7 processor which is not the intent. This patch adds code to determine if kernel is running on M7 processor and takes steps to not enable memory corruption detection in TTE erroneously. Signed-off-by:

While shuffling some code around, dsa_switch_setup_one() was introduced, and it was modified to return either an error code using ERR_PTR() or a NULL pointer when running out of memory or failing to setup a switch. This is a problem for its caler: dsa_switch_setup() which uses IS_ERR() and expects to find an error code, not a NULL pointer, so we still try to proceed with dsa_switch_setup() and operate on invalid memory addresses. This can be easily reproduced by having e.g: the bcm_sf2 driver built-in, but having no such switch, such that drv->setup will fail. Fix this by using PTR_ERR() consistently which is both more informative and avoids for the caller to use IS_ERR_OR_NULL().

Linux 3.17 and earlier are explicitly engineered so that if the app doesn't specifically request a CC module on a listener before the SYN arrives, then the child gets the system default CC when the connection is established. See tcp_init_congestion_control() in 3.17 or earlier, which says "if no choice made yet assign the current value set as default". The change ("net: tcp: assign tcp cong_ops when tcp sk is created") altered these semantics, so that children got their parent listener's congestion control even if the system default had changed after the listener was created. This commit returns to those original semantics from 3.17 and earlier, since they are the original semantics from 2007 in 4d4d3d1e ("[TCP]: Congestion control initialization."), and some Linux congestion control workflows depend on that. In summary, if a listener socket specifically sets TCP_CONGESTION to "x", or the route locks the CC module to "x", then the child gets "x". Otherwise the child gets current system default from net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control. That's the behavior in 3.17 and earlier, and this commit restores that.

We have two problems in UDP stack related to bogus checksums : 1) We return -EAGAIN to application even if receive queue is not empty. This breaks applications using edge trigger epoll() 2) Under UDP flood, we can loop forever without yielding to other processes, potentially hanging the host, especially on non SMP. This patch is an attempt to make things better. We might in the future add extra support for rt applications wanting to better control time spent doing a recv() in a hostile environment. For example we could validate checksums before queuing packets in socket receive queue. Signed-off-by:

So it's not too urgent, but seeing that the fix is obvious and the original commit has spread into all -stable branches..." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: d_walk() might skip too much

Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger: "These are mostly minor fixes, with the exception of the following that address fall-out from recent v4.1-rc1 changes: - regression fix related to the big fabric API registration changes and configfs_depend_item() usage, that required cherry-picking one of HCH's patches from for-next to address the issue for v4.1 code. - remaining TCM-USER -v2 related changes to enforce full CDB passthrough from Andy + Ilias. Also included is a target_core_pscsi driver fix from Andy that addresses a long standing issue with a Scsi_Host reference being leaked on PSCSI device shutdown" * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: iser-target: Fix error path in isert_create_pi_ctx() target: Use a PASSTHROUGH flag instead of transport_types target: Move passthrough CDB parsing into a common function target/user: Only support full command pass-through target/user: Update example code for new ABI requirements target/pscsi: Don't leak scsi_host if hba is VIRTUAL_HOST target: Fix se_tpg_tfo->tf_subsys regression + remove tf_subsystem target: Drop signal_pending checks after interruptible lock acquire target: Add missing parentheses target: Fix bidi command handling target/user: Disallow full passthrough (pass_level=0) ISCSI: fix minor memory leak
