      tcp: perform DMA to userspace only if there is a task waiting for it · 59ea33a6
      Jiri Kosina authored
      Back in 2006, commit 1a2449a8 ("[I/OAT]: TCP recv offload to I/OAT")
      added support for receive offloading to IOAT dma engine if available.
      
      The code in tcp_rcv_established() tries to perform early DMA copy if
      applicable. It however does so without checking whether the userspace
      task is actually expecting the data in the buffer.
      
      This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but there is a corner
      case where this doesn't work -- and that's when MSG_TRUNC flag to
      recvmsg() is used.
      
      If the IOAT dma engine is not used, the code properly checks whether
      there is a valid ucopy.task and the socket is owned by userspace, but
      misses the check in the dmaengine case.
      
      This problem can be observed in real trivially -- for example 'tbench' is a
      good reproducer, as it makes a heavy use of MSG_TRUNC. On systems utilizing
      IOAT, you will soon find tbench waiting indefinitely in sk_wait_data(), as they
      have been already early-copied in tcp_rcv_established() using dma engine.
      
      This patch introduces the same check we are performing in the simple
      iovec copy case to the IOAT case as well. It fixes the indefinite
      recvmsg(MSG_TRUNC) hangs.

      This reverts commit 5b3e7e6c.
      
      The problem that the original commit was attempting to fix can
      never happen in practice because validation is done one a per-flow
      basis rather than a per-packet basis.  Adding additional checks at
      runtime is unnecessary and inconsistent with the rest of the code.

      net: fix rtnetlink IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI handling · b1beb681
      Jiri Benc authored
      When device flags are set using rtnetlink, IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI
      flags are handled specially. Function dev_change_flags sets IFF_PROMISC and
      IFF_ALLMULTI bits in dev->gflags according to the passed value but
      do_setlink passes a result of rtnl_dev_combine_flags which takes those bits
      from dev->flags.
      
      This can be easily trigerred by doing:
      
      tcpdump -i eth0 &
      ip l s up eth0
      
      ip sets IFF_UP flag in ifi_flags and ifi_change, which is combined with
      IFF_PROMISC by rtnl_dev_combine_flags, causing __dev_change_flags to set
      IFF_PROMISC in gflags.

      USB: kaweth.c: use GFP_ATOMIC under spin_lock · e4c7f259
      Dan Carpenter authored
      The problem is that we call this with a spin lock held.  The call tree
      is:
      	kaweth_start_xmit() holds kaweth->device_lock.
      	-> kaweth_async_set_rx_mode()
      	   -> kaweth_control()
      	      -> kaweth_internal_control_msg()
      
      The kaweth_internal_control_msg() function is only called from
      kaweth_control() which used GFP_ATOMIC for its allocations.

      tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT negative value check · 42493570
      Hangbin Liu authored
      TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is a TCP level socket option that takes an unsigned int. But
      patch "tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option"(dca43c75) didn't check the negative
      values. If a user assign -1 to it, the socket will set successfully and wait
      for 4294967295 miliseconds. This patch add a negative value check to avoid
      this issue.

      powerpc/ftrace: Trace function graph entry before updating index · bac821a6
      Steven Rostedt authored
      As Colin Cross ported my x86 change to ARM, he also pointed out that
      powerpc is also behind in this fix.
      
      The commit 722b3c74 "ftrace/graph: Trace function entry before
      updating index" fixes an issue with function graph tracing for x86,
      where if the called entry function decides not to trace interrupts, it
      can fail the check if an interrupt comes in just after the
      curr_ret_stack is updated.
      
      The solution is to call the entry function first, then update the
      curr_ret_stack if the entry function wants to be traced.

      powerpc: Lack of firmware flash support is not an error · 0e384983
      Anton Blanchard authored
      Reduce the severity of the warning given when firmware flash is
      not supported. Not all platforms have it.

      powerpc: Enable pseries hardware RNG and crypto modules · fd297b3a
      Anton Blanchard authored
      Enable the hardware RNG and crypto modules. I verified they both
      autoload via the VIO subsystem, so there is no need to build them in.

      powerpc: Update g5_defconfig · b1acf1bb
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      This updates the g5 defconfig to include nouveau instead of nvidiafb
      (which works much better nowadays, in fact the latter crashes on modern
      distros), and to set CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING without which takeover
      from the firmware offb by nouveau doesn't work properly (and leads to
      unexplained black screens for some users).
      
      The rest is churn of going through defconfig / savedefconfig
