      net: fix inet_getid() and ipv6_select_ident() bugs · 39c36094
      Eric Dumazet authored
      I noticed we were sending wrong IPv4 ID in TCP flows when MTU discovery
      is disabled.
      Note how GSO/TSO packets do not have monotonically incrementing ID.
      
      06:37:41.575531 IP (id 14227, proto: TCP (6), length: 4396)
      06:37:41.575534 IP (id 14272, proto: TCP (6), length: 65212)
      06:37:41.575544 IP (id 14312, proto: TCP (6), length: 57972)
      06:37:41.575678 IP (id 14317, proto: TCP (6), length: 7292)
      06:37:41.575683 IP (id 14361, proto: TCP (6), length: 63764)
      
      It appears I introduced this bug in linux-3.1.
      
      inet_getid() must return the old value of peer->ip_id_count,
      not the new one.
      
      Lets revert this part, and remove the prevention of
      a null identification field in IPv6 Fragment Extension Header,
      which is dubious and not even done properly.

      This interface is unusable, as the cdc-wdm character device doesn't reply to

      bridge: Prevent insertion of FDB entry with disallowed vlan · e0d7968a
      Toshiaki Makita authored
      br_handle_local_finish() is allowing us to insert an FDB entry with
      disallowed vlan. For example, when port 1 and 2 are communicating in
      vlan 10, and even if vlan 10 is disallowed on port 3, port 3 can
      interfere with their communication by spoofed src mac address with
      vlan id 10.
      
      Note: Even if it is judged that a frame should not be learned, it should
      not be dropped because it is destined for not forwarding layer but higher
      layer. See IEEE 802.1Q-2011 8.13.10.

      netlink: rate-limit leftover bytes warning and print process name · bfc5184b
      Michal Schmidt authored
      Any process is able to send netlink messages with leftover bytes.
      Make the warning rate-limited to prevent too much log spam.
      
      The warning is supposed to help find userspace bugs, so print the
      triggering command name to implicate the buggy program.

      bridge: notify user space after fdb update · c65c7a30
      Jon Maxwell authored
      There has been a number incidents recently where customers running KVM have
      reported that VM hosts on different Hypervisors are unreachable. Based on
      pcap traces we found that the bridge was broadcasting the ARP request out
      onto the network. However some NICs have an inbuilt switch which on occasions
      were broadcasting the VMs ARP request back through the physical NIC on the
      Hypervisor. This resulted in the bridge changing ports and incorrectly learning
      that the VMs mac address was external. As a result the ARP reply was directed
      back onto the external network and VM never updated it's ARP cache. This patch
      will notify the bridge command, after a fdb has been updated to identify such
      port toggling.

      net: fix wrong mac_len calculation for vlans · 4b9b1cdf
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
      After 1e785f48 ("net: Start with correct mac_len in
      skb_network_protocol") skb->mac_len is used as a start of the
      calculation in skb_network_protocol() but that is not always correct. If
      skb->protocol == 8021Q/AD, usually the vlan header is already inserted
      in the skb (i.e. vlan reorder hdr == 0). Usually when the packet enters
      dev_hard_xmit it has mac_len == 0 so we take 2 bytes from the
      destination mac address (skb->data + VLAN_HLEN) as a type in
      skb_network_protocol() and return vlan_depth == 4. In the case where TSO is
      off, then the mac_len is set but it's == 18 (ETH_HLEN + VLAN_HLEN), so
      skb_network_protocol() returns a type from inside the packet and
      offset == 22. Also make vlan_depth unsigned as suggested before.
      As suggested by Eric Dumazet, move the while() loop in the if() so we
      can avoid additional testing in fast path.
      
      Here are few netperf tests + debug printk's to illustrate:
      cat netperf.tso-on.reorder-on.bugged
      - Vlan -> device (reorder on, default, this case is okay)
      MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to
      192.168.3.1 () port 0 AF_INET

       87380  16384  16384    10.00    7111.54
      [   81.605435] skb->len 65226 skb->gso_size 1448 skb->proto 0x800
      skb->mac_len 0 vlan_depth 0 type 0x800
      
      - Vlan -> device (reorder off, bad)
      cat netperf.tso-on.reorder-off.bugged
      MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to
      192.168.3.1 () port 0 AF_INET

      [  204.578332] skb->len 1518 skb->gso_size 0 skb->proto 0x8100
      skb->mac_len 0 vlan_depth 4 type 0x5301
      0x5301 are the last two bytes of the destination mac.
      
      And if we stop TSO, we may get even the following:
      [   83.343156] skb->len 2966 skb->gso_size 1448 skb->proto 0x8100
      skb->mac_len 18 vlan_depth 22 type 0xb84
      Because mac_len already accounts for VLAN_HLEN.
      
      After the fix:
      cat netperf.tso-on.reorder-off.fixed

      Johannes Berg authored
      Prior to commit 42661299 ("[media] DocBook: Move all media docbook
      stuff into its own directory") it was possible to build only a single
      (or more) book(s) by calling, for example
      
          make htmldocs DOCBOOKS=80211.xml
      
      This now fails:
      
          cp: target `.../Documentation/DocBook//media_api' is not a directory
      
      Ignore errors from that copy to make this possible again.

      In dlm_init, if create dlm_lockname_cache failed in
      dlm_init_master_caches, it will destroy dlm_lockres_cache which created
      before twice.  And this will cause system die when loading modules.

      mm/memory-failure.c: fix memory leak by race between poison and unpoison · 3e030ecc
      Naoya Horiguchi authored
      When a memory error happens on an in-use page or (free and in-use)
      hugepage, the victim page is isolated with its refcount set to one.
      
      When you try to unpoison it later, unpoison_memory() calls put_page()
      for it twice in order to bring the page back to free page pool (buddy or
      free hugepage list).  However, if another memory error occurs on the
      page which we are unpoisoning, memory_failure() returns without
      releasing the refcount which was incremented in the same call at first,
      which results in memory leak and unconsistent num_poisoned_pages
      statistics.  This patch fixes it.

      In commit ad86622b ("wait: swap EXIT_ZOMBIE and EXIT_DEAD to hide
      EXIT_TRACE from user-space") the order of task state definitions were
      changed: EXIT_DEAD and EXIT_ZOMBIE were swapped.  Though the charterers
      for the states in TASK_STATE_TO_CHAR_STR string were not updated.  This
      patch synchronizes the string to the order of definitions.

      memcg: fix swapcache charge from kernel thread context · 6f6acb00
      Michal Hocko authored
      Commit 284f39af ("mm: memcg: push !mm handling out to page cache
      charge function") explicitly checks for page cache charges without any
      mm context (from kernel thread context[1]).
      
      This seemed to be the only possible case where memory could be charged
      without mm context so commit 03583f1a ("memcg: remove unnecessary
      !mm check from try_get_mem_cgroup_from_mm()") removed the mm check from
      get_mem_cgroup_from_mm().  This however caused another NULL ptr
      dereference during early boot when loopback kernel thread splices to
      tmpfs as reported by Stephan Kulow:

      This patch fixes the issue by reintroducing mm check into
      get_mem_cgroup_from_mm.  We could do the same trick in
      __mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin as we do for the regular page cache path
      but it is not worth troubles.  The check is not that expensive and it is
      better to have get_mem_cgroup_from_mm more robust.

      MADV_WILLNEED currently does not read swapped out shmem pages back in.
      
      Commit 0cd6144a ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in page
      cache radix trees") made find_get_page() filter exceptional radix tree
      entries but failed to convert all find_get_page() callers that WANT
      exceptional entries over to find_get_entry().  One of them is shmem swap
      readahead in madvise, which now skips over any swap-out records.
      
      Convert it to find_get_entry().

      mm/filemap.c: avoid always dirtying mapping->flags on O_DIRECT · 7fcbbaf1
      Jens Axboe authored
      In some testing I ran today (some fio jobs that spread over two nodes),
      we end up spending 40% of the time in filemap_check_errors().  That
      smells fishy.  Looking further, this is basically what happens:
      
      blkdev_aio_read()
          generic_file_aio_read()
              filemap_write_and_wait_range()
                  if (!mapping->nr_pages)
                      filemap_check_errors()
      
      and filemap_check_errors() always attempts two test_and_clear_bit() on
      the mapping flags, thus dirtying it for every single invocation.  The
      patch below tests each of these bits before clearing them, avoiding this
      issue.  In my test case (4-socket box), performance went from 1.7M IOPS
      to 4.0M IOPS.

      hwpoison, hugetlb: lock_page/unlock_page does not match for handling a free hugepage · b985194c
      Chen Yucong authored
      For handling a free hugepage in memory failure, the race will happen if
      another thread hwpoisoned this hugepage concurrently.  So we need to
      check PageHWPoison instead of !PageHWPoison.
      
      If hwpoison_filter(p) returns true or a race happens, then we need to
      unlock_page(hpage).

      parisc: 'renameat2()' doesn't need (or have) a separate compat system call · 9abd09ac
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The 'renameat2()' system call was incorrectly added as a ENTRY_COMP() in
      the parisc system call table by commit 18e480aa ("parisc: add
      renameat2 syscall").  That causes a link-time error due to there not
      being any compat version of that system call:
      
        arch/parisc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table':
        (.rodata+0xad0): undefined reference to `compat_sys_renameat2'
        make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
      
      Easily fixed by marking the system call as being the same for compat as
      for native by using ENTRY_SAME() instead of ENTRY_COMP().
