Roopa Prabhu says: ==================== fib rules extack support First patch refactors code to move fib rule netlink handling into a common function. This became obvious when adding duplicate extack msgs in add and del paths. Second patch adds extack msgs. v2 - Dropped the ip route get support and selftests from the series to look at the input path some more (as pointed out by ido). Will come back to that next week when i have some time. resending just the extack part for now. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

tcp_rcv_space_adjust is called every time data is copied to user space, introducing a tcp tracepoint for which could show us when the packet is copied to user. When a tcp packet arrives, tcp_rcv_established() will be called and with the existed tracepoint tcp_probe we could get the time when this packet arrives. Then this packet will be copied to user, and tcp_rcv_space_adjust will be called and with this new introduced tracepoint we could get the time when this packet is copied to user. With these two tracepoints, we could figure out whether the user program processes this packet immediately or there's latency. Hence in the printk message, sk_cookie is printed as a key to relate tcp_rcv_space_adjust with tcp_probe. Maybe we could export sockfd in this new tracepoint as well, then we could relate this new tracepoint with epoll/read/recv* tracepoints, and finally that could show us the whole lifespan of this packet. But we could also implement that with pid as these functions are executed in process context. Signed-off-by: Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

David Ahern says: ==================== net/ipv6: Another followup to the fib6_info change Last one - for this week. Patches 1, 2 and 7 are more cleanup patches - removing dead code, moving code from a header to near its single caller, and updating function name. Patches 3-5 do some refactoring leading up to patch 6 which fixes a NULL dereference. I have only managed to trigger a panic once, so I can not definitively confirm it addresses the problem but it seems pretty clear that it is a race on removing a 'from' reference on an rt6_info and another path using that 'from' value to do cookie checking. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

David Ahern authored
When a dst entry is created from a fib entry, the 'from' in rt6_info is set to the fib entry. The 'from' reference is used most notably for cookie checking - making sure stale dst entries are updated if the fib entry is changed. When a fib entry is deleted, the pcpu routes on it are walked releasing the fib6_info reference. This is needed for the fib6_info cleanup to happen and to make sure all device references are released in a timely manner. There is a race window when a FIB entry is deleted and the 'from' on the pcpu route is dropped and the pcpu route hits a cookie check. Handle this race using rcu on from.

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2018-04-21 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) Initial work on BPF Type Format (BTF) is added, which is a meta data format which describes the data types of BPF programs / maps. BTF has its roots from CTF (Compact C-Type format) with a number of changes to it. First use case is to provide a generic pretty print capability for BPF maps inspection, later work will also add BTF to bpftool. pahole support to convert dwarf to BTF will be upstreamed as well (https://github.com/iamkafai/pahole/tree/btf), from Martin. 2) Add a new xdp_bpf_adjust_tail() BPF helper for XDP that allows for changing the data_end pointer. Only shrinking is currently supported which helps for crafting ICMP control messages. Minor changes in drivers have been added where needed so they recalc the packet's length also when data_end was adjusted, from Nikita. 3) Improve bpftool to make it easier to feed hex bytes via cmdline for map operations, from Quentin. 4) Add support for various missing BPF prog types and attach types that have been added to kernel recently but neither to bpftool nor libbpf yet. Doc and bash completion updates have been added as well for bpftool, from Andrey. 5) Proper fix for avoiding to leak info stored in frame data on page reuse for the two bpf_xdp_adjust_{head,meta} helpers by disallowing to move the pointers into struct xdp_frame area, from Jesper. 6) Follow-up compile fix from BTF in order to include stdbool.h in libbpf, from Björn. 7) Few fixes in BPF sample code, that is, a typo on the netdevice in a comment and fixup proper dump of XDP action code in the tracepoint exception, from Wang and Jesper. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

AFS server records get removed from the net->fs_servers tree when they're deleted, but not from the net->fs_addresses{4,6} lists, which can lead to an oops in afs_find_server() when a server record has been removed, for instance during rmmod. Fix this by deleting the record from the by-address lists before posting it for RCU destruction. The reason this hasn't been noticed before is that the fileserver keeps probing the local cache manager, thereby keeping the service record alive, so the oops would only happen when a fileserver eventually gets bored and stops pinging or if the module gets rmmod'd and a call comes in from the fileserver during the window between the server records being destroyed and the socket being closed. The oops looks something like: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000001c ...

Currently, the tun driver, in absence of an eBPF steering program, always compute the rxhash in its rx path, even when such value is later unused due to additional checks ( This changeset moves the all the related checks just before the __skb_get_hash_symmetric(), so that the latter is no more computed when unneeded.

Add support for DT property "microchip,led-modes", a vector of zero to four cells (u32s) in the range 0-15, each of which sets the mode for one of the LEDs. Some possible values are: 0=link/activity 1=link1000/activity 2=link100/activity 3=link10/activity 4=link100/1000/activity 5=link10/1000/activity 6=link10/100/activity 14=off 15=on These values are given symbolic constants in a dt-bindings header. Also use the presence of the DT property to indicate that the LEDs should be enabled - necessary in the event that no valid OTP or EEPROM is available.

Shahed Shaikh says: ==================== qed* : Use trust mode to override forced MAC This patchset adds a support to override forced MAC (MAC set by PF for a VF) when trust mode is enabled using First patch adds a real change to use .ndo_set_vf_trust to override forced MAC and allow user to change VFs from VF interface itself. Second patch takes care of a corner case, where MAC change from VF won't take effect when VF interface is down, by introducing a new TLV (a way to send message from VF to PF) to give a hint to PF to update its bulletin board. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Shahed Shaikh authored
There may be a need for VF driver to request PF to explicitly update its bulletin with a MAC address. e.g. When user assigns a MAC address to VF while VF is still down, and PF's bulletin board contains different MAC address, in this case, when VF's interface is brought up, it gets loaded with MAC address from bulletin board which is not desirable. To handle this corner case, we need a new TLV to request PF to update its bulletin board with suggested MAC. This request will be honored only for trusted VFs.

Shahed Shaikh authored
As per existing behavior, when PF sets a MAC address for a VF (also called as forced MAC), VF is not allowed to change its MAC address afterwards. This puts the limitation on few use cases such as bonding of VFs, where bonding driver asks VF to change its MAC address. This patch uses a VF trust mode to allow VF to change its MAC address in spite PF has set a forced MAC for that VF. Signed-off-by: Shahed Shaikh <shahed.shaikh@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
