      enic: fix pci_alloc_consistent argument · d49aba84
      Randy Dunlap authored 
      Fix build warning on i386 (32-bit) with 32-bit dma_addr_t:

drivers/net/enic/vnic_dev.c: In function 'vnic_dev_init_prov':
drivers/net/enic/vnic_dev.c:716: warning: passing argument 3 of 'pci_alloc_consistent' from incompatible pointer type
include/asm-generic/pci-dma-compat.h:16: note: expected 'dma_addr_t *' but argument is of type 'u64 *'

Now builds without warnings on i386 and on x86_64.

      gianfar: Revive the driver for eTSEC devices (disable timestamping) · 619baba1
      Anton Vorontsov authored 
      Since commit cc772ab7 ("gianfar: Add
hardware RX timestamping support"), the driver no longer works on
at least MPC8313ERDB and MPC8568EMDS boards (and possibly much more
boards as well).

That's how MPC8313 Reference Manual describes RCTRL_TS_ENABLE bit:

  Timestamp incoming packets as padding bytes. PAL field is set
  to 8 if the PAL field is programmed to less than 8. Must be set
  to zero if TMR_CTRL[TE]=0.

I see that the commit above sets this bit, but it doesn't handle
TMR_CTRL. Manfred probably had this bit set by the firmware for
his boards. But obviously this isn't true for all boards in the
wild.

Also, I recall that Freescale BSPs were explicitly disabling the
timestamping because of a performance drop.

For now, the best way to deal with this is just disable the
timestamping, and later we can discuss proper device tree bindings
and implement enabling this feature via some property.

      net: Print num_rx_queues imbalance warning only when there are allocated queues · 08c801f8
      Tim Gardner authored 
      BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591416

There are a number of network drivers (bridge, bonding, etc) that are not yet
receive multi-queue enabled and use alloc_netdev(), so don't print a
num_rx_queues imbalance warning in that case.

Also, only print the warning once for those drivers that _are_ multi-queue
enabled.

      ipvs: Add missing locking during connection table hashing and unhashing · aea9d711
      Sven Wegener authored 
      The code that hashes and unhashes connections from the connection table
is missing locking of the connection being modified, which opens up a
race condition and results in memory corruption when this race condition
is hit.

Here is what happens in pretty verbose form:

CPU 0					CPU 1
------------				------------
An active connection is terminated and
we schedule ip_vs_conn_expire() on this
CPU to expire this connection.

					IRQ assignment is changed to this CPU,
					but the expire timer stays scheduled on
					the other CPU.

					New connection from same ip:port comes
					in right before the timer expires, we
					find the inactive connection in our
					connection table and get a reference to
					it. We proper lock the connection in
					tcp_state_transition() and read the
					connection flags in set_tcp_state().

ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called, we
unhash the connection from our
connection table and remove the hashed
flag in ip_vs_conn_unhash(), without
proper locking!

					While still holding proper locks we
					write the connection flags in
					set_tcp_state() and this sets the hashed
					flag again.

ip_vs_conn_expire() fails to expire the
connection, because the other CPU has
incremented the reference count. We try
to re-insert the connection into our
connection table, but this fails in
ip_vs_conn_hash(), because the hashed
flag has been set by the other CPU. We
re-schedule execution of
ip_vs_conn_expire(). Now this connection
has the hashed flag set, but isn't
actually hashed in our connection table
and has a dangling list_head.

					We drop the reference we held on the
					connection and schedule the expire timer
					for timeouting the connection on this
					CPU. Further packets won't be able to
					find this connection in our connection
					table.

					ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called again,
					we think it's already hashed, but the
					list_head is dangling and while removing
					the connection from our connection table
					we write to the memory location where
					this list_head points to.

The result will probably be a kernel oops at some other point in time.

This race condition is pretty subtle, but it can be triggered remotely.
It needs the IRQ assignment change or another circumstance where packets
coming from the same ip:port for the same service are being processed on
different CPUs. And it involves hitting the exact time at which
ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called. It can be avoided by making sure that
all packets from one connection are always processed on the same CPU and
can be made harder to exploit by changing the connection timeouts to
some custom values.
