Fix a commit 4bcc595c ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines") regression with the `declance' driver, which caused the adapter identification message to be split between two lines, e.g.: declance.c: v0.011 by Linux MIPS DECstation task force tc6: PMAD-AA , addr = 08:00:2b:1b:2a:6a, irq = 14 tc6: registered as eth0. Address that properly, by printing identification with a single call, making the messages now look like: declance.c: v0.011 by Linux MIPS DECstation task force tc6: PMAD-AA, addr = 08:00:2b:1b:2a:6a, irq = 14 tc6: registered as eth0.

During certain heavy network loads TX could time out with TX ring dump. TX is sometimes never restarted after reaching "tx_stop_threshold" because function "fec_enet_tx_queue" only tests the first queue. In addition the TX timeout callback function failed to recover because it also operated only on the first queue. Signed-off-by:

Some of the chip-specific hw_start functions set bit TXCFG_AUTO_FIFO in register TxConfig. The original patch changed the order of some calls resulting in these changes being overwritten by rtl_set_tx_config_registers() in rtl_hw_start(). This eventually resulted in network stalls especially under high load. Analyzing the chip-specific hw_start functions all chip version from 34, with the exception of version 39, need this bit set. This patch moves setting this bit to rtl_set_tx_config_registers(). Fixes: 4fd48c4a ("r8169: move common initializations to tp->hw_start") Reported-by:

Since tun->flags might be shared by multiple tfile structures, it is better to make sure tun_get_user() is using the flags for the current tfile. Presence of the READ_ONCE() in tun_napi_frags_enabled() gave a hint of what could happen, but we need something stronger to please syzbot. kasan: CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE enabled kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN CPU: 0 PID: 13647 Comm: syz-executor5 Not tainted 4.19.0-rc5+ #59 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 01/01/2011 RIP: 0010:dev_gro_receive+0x132/0x2720 net/core/dev.c:5427 Code: 48 c1 ea 03 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 6e 20 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 4d 8b 6e 10 49 8d bd d0 00 00 00 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 59 20 00 00 4d 8b a5 d0 00 00 00 31 ff 41 81 e4 RSP: 0018:ffff8801c400f410 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: ffffffff8618d325 RDX: 000000000000001a RSI: ffffffff86189f97 RDI: 00000000000000d0 RBP: ffff8801c400f608 R08: ffff8801c8fb4300 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: ffffed0038801ed7 R11: 0000000000000003 R12: ffff8801d327d358 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: ffff8801c16dd8c0 R15: 0000000000000004 FS: 00007fe003615700(0000) GS:ffff8801dac00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007fe1f3c43db8 CR3: 00000001bebb2000 CR4: 00000000001406f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: napi_gro_frags+0x3f4/0xc90 net/core/dev.c:5715 tun_get_user+0x31d5/0x42a0 drivers/net/tun.c:1922 tun_chr_write_iter+0xb9/0x154 drivers/net/tun.c:1967 call_write_iter include/linux/fs.h:1808 [inline] new_sync_write fs/read_write.c:474 [inline] __vfs_write+0x6b8/0x9f0 fs/read_write.c:487 vfs_write+0x1fc/0x560 fs/read_write.c:549 ksys_write+0x101/0x260 fs/read_write.c:598 __do_sys_write fs/read_write.c:610 [inline] __se_sys_write fs/read_write.c:607 [inline] __x64_sys_write+0x73/0xb0 fs/read_write.c:607 do_syscall_64+0x1b9/0x820 arch/x86/entry/common.c:290 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe RIP: 0033:0x457579 Code: 1d b4 fb ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 66 90 48 89 f8 48 89 f7 48 89 d6 48 89 ca 4d 89 c2 4d 89 c8 4c 8b 4c 24 08 0f 05 <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 0f 83 eb b3 fb ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 RSP: 002b:00007fe003614c78 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000001 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000003 RCX: 0000000000457579 RDX: 0000000000000012 RSI: 0000000020000000 RDI: 000000000000000a RBP: 000000000072c040 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 00007fe0036156d4 R13: 00000000004c5574 R14: 00000000004d8e98 R15: 00000000ffffffff Modules linked in: RIP: 0010:dev_gro_receive+0x132/0x2720 net/core/dev.c:5427 Code: 48 c1 ea 03 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 6e 20 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 4d 8b 6e 10 49 8d bd d0 00 00 00 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 59 20 00 00 4d 8b a5 d0 00 00 00 31 ff 41 81 e4 RSP: 0018:ffff8801c400f410 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: ffffffff8618d325 RDX: 000000000000001a RSI: ffffffff86189f97 RDI: 00000000000000d0 RBP: ffff8801c400f608 R08: ffff8801c8fb4300 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: ffffed0038801ed7 R11: 0000000000000003 R12: ffff8801d327d358 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: ffff8801c16dd8c0 R15: 0000000000000004 FS: 00007fe003615700(0000) GS:ffff8801dac00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007fe1f3c43db8 CR3: 00000001bebb2000 CR4: 00000000001406f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Fixes: 90e33d45 ("tun: enable napi_gro_frags() for TUN/TAP driver") Signed-off-by:

When the commit was merged, the code used nf_ct_put() to free the entry, but later on commit 76644232 ("openvswitch: Free tmpl with tmpl_free.") replaced that with nf_ct_tmpl_free which is a more appropriate.

The initial session number when a link is created is based on a random value, taken from struct tipc_net->random. It is then incremented for each link reset to avoid mixing protocol messages from different link sessions. However, when a bearer is reset all its links are deleted, and will later be re-created using the same random value as the first time. This means that if the link never went down between creation and deletion we will still sometimes have two subsequent sessions with the same session number. In virtual environments with potentially long transmission times this has turned out to be a real problem. We now fix this by randomizing the session number each time a link is created. With a session number size of 16 bits this gives a risk of session collision of 1/64k. To reduce this further, we also introduce a sanity check on the very first STATE message arriving at a link. If this has an acknowledge value differing from 0, which is logically impossible, we ignore the message. The final risk for session collision is hence reduced to 1/4G, which should be sufficient.

From Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo. 3) We currently reset the transport header back to the network header after a transport mode transformation is applied. This leads to an incorrect transport header when multiple transport mode transformations are applied. Reset the transport header only after all transformations are already applied to fix this. From Sowmini Varadhan. 4) We only support one offloaded xfrm, so reset crypto_done after the first transformation in xfrm_input(). Otherwise we may call the wrong input method for subsequent transformations. From Sowmini Varadhan. 5) Fix NULL pointer dereference when skb_dst_force clears the dst_entry. skb_dst_force does not really force a dst refcount anymore, it might clear it instead. xfrm code did not expect this, add a check to not dereference skb_dst() if it was cleared by skb_dst_force. 6) Validate xfrm template mode, otherwise we can get a stack-out-of-bounds read in xfrm_state_find. From Sean Tranchetti. Please pull or let me know if there are problems. ==================== Signed-off-by:

In normal SYN processing, packets are handled without listener lock and in RCU protected ingress path. But syzkaller is known to be able to trick us and SYN packets might be processed in process context, after being queued into socket backlog. In commit 06f877d6 ("tcp/dccp: fix other lockdep splats accessing ireq_opt") I made a very stupid fix, that happened to work mostly because of the regular path being RCU protected. Really the thing protecting ireq->ireq_opt is RCU read lock, and the pseudo request refcnt is not relevant. This patch extends what I did in commit 449809a6 ("tcp/dccp: block BH for SYN processing") by adding an extra rcu_read_{lock|unlock} pair in the paths that might be taken when processing SYN from socket backlog (thus possibly in process context) Fixes: 06f877d6 ("tcp/dccp: fix other lockdep splats accessing ireq_opt") Signed-off-by:

In regular NIC transmission flow, driver always configures MAC using Tx queue zero descriptor as a part of MAC learning flow. But with multi Tx queue supported NIC, regular transmission can occur on any non-zero Tx queue and from that context it uses Tx queue zero descriptor to configure MAC, at the same time TX queue zero could be used by another CPU for regular transmission which could lead to Tx queue zero descriptor corruption and cause FW abort. This patch fixes this in such a way that driver always configures learned MAC address from the same Tx queue which is used for regular transmission.

We see the following scenario: 1) Link endpoint B on node 1 discovers that its peer endpoint is gone. Since there is a second working link, failover procedure is started. 2) Link endpoint A on node 1 sends a FAILOVER message to peer endpoint A on node 2. The node item 1->2 goes to state FAILINGOVER. 3) Linke endpoint A/2 receives the failover, and is supposed to take down its parallell link endpoint B/2, while producing a FAILOVER message to send back to A/1. 4) However, B/2 has already been deleted, so no FAILOVER message can created. 5) Node 1->2 remains in state FAILINGOVER forever, refusing to receive any messages that can bring B/1 up again. We are left with a non- redundant link between node 1 and 2. We fix this with letting endpoint A/2 build a dummy FAILOVER message to send to back to A/1, so that the situation can be resolved.

(2) Fix one of the checks made when we decide to set up a new incoming service call in which a flag is being checked in the wrong field of the packet header. This check is abstracted out into helper functions. (3) Fix RTT gathering. The code has been trying to make use of socket timestamps, but wasn't actually enabling them. The code has also been recording a transmit time for the outgoing packet for which we're going to measure the RTT after sending the message - but we can get the incoming packet before we get to that and record a negative RTT. (4) Fix the emission of BUSY packets (we are emitting ABORTs instead). (5) Improve error checking on incoming packets. (6) Try to fix a bug in new service call handling whereby a BUG we should never be able to reach somehow got triggered. Do this by moving much of the checking as early as possible and not repeating it later (depends on (5) above). (7) Fix the sockopts set on a UDP6 socket to include the ones set on a UDP4 socket so that we receive UDP4 errors and packet-too-large notifications too. (8) Fix the distribution of errors so that we do it at the point of receiving an error in the UDP callback rather than deferring it thereby cutting short any transmissions that would otherwise occur in the window. ==================== Signed-off-by:

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== netpoll: second round of fixes. As diagnosed by Song Liu, ndo_poll_controller() can be very dangerous on loaded hosts, since the cpu calling ndo_poll_controller() might steal all NAPI contexts (for all RX/TX queues of the NIC). This capture, showing one ksoftirqd eating all cycles can last for unlimited amount of time, since one cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load. It seems that all networking drivers that do use NAPI for their TX completions, should not provide a ndo_poll_controller() : Most NAPI drivers have netpoll support already handled in core networking stack, since netpoll_poll_dev() uses poll_napi(dev) to iterate through registered NAPI contexts for a device. First patch is a fix in poll_one_napi(). Then following patches take care of ten drivers. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

This capture can last for unlimited amount of time, since one cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load. ibmvnic uses NAPI for TX completions, so we better let core networking stack call the napi->poll() to avoid the capture. ibmvnic_netpoll_controller() was completely wrong anyway, as it was scheduling NAPI to service RX queues (instead of TX), so I doubt netpoll ever worked on this driver.
