Commit c3def943 have added support for new pci ids of the 57840 board, while failing to change the obsolete value in 'pci_ids.h'. This patch does so, allowing the probe of such devices.

When tearing down a net namespace, ipv4 mr_table structures are freed without first deactivating their timers. This can result in a crash in run_timer_softirq. This patch mimics the corresponding behaviour in ipv6. Locking and synchronization seem to be adequate. We are about to kfree mrt, so existing code should already make sure that no other references to mrt are pending or can be created by incoming traffic. The functions invoked here do not cause new references to mrt or other race conditions to be created. Invoking del_timer_sync guarantees that ipmr_expire_timer is inactive. Both ipmr_expire_process (whose completion we may have to wait in del_timer_sync) and mroute_clean_tables internally use mfc_unres_lock or other synchronizations when needed, and they both only modify mrt. Tested in Linux 3.4.8. Signed-off-by: Francesco Ruggeri <fruggeri@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

With a low enough MSS on the link partner and TSO enabled locally, the networking stack can periodically send a very large (e.g. 64KB) TCP message for which the driver will attempt to use more Tx descriptors than are available by default in the Tx ring. This is due to a workaround in the code that imposes a limit of only 4 MSS-sized segments per descriptor which appears to be a carry-over from the older e1000 driver and may be applicable only to some older PCI or PCIx parts which are not supported in e1000e. When the driver gets a message that is too large to fit across the configured number of Tx descriptors, it stops the upper stack from queueing any more and gets stuck in this state. After a timeout, the upper stack assumes the adapter is hung and calls the driver to reset it. Remove the unnecessary limitation of using up to only 4 MSS-sized segments per Tx descriptor, and put in a hard failure test to catch when attempting to check for message sizes larger than would fit in the whole Tx ring. Refactor the remaining logic that limits the size of data per Tx descriptor from a seemingly arbitrary 8KB to a limit based on the dynamic size of the Tx packet buffer as described in the hardware specification. Also, fix the logic in the check for space in the Tx ring for the next largest possible packet after the current one has been successfully queued for transmit, and use the appropriate defines for default ring sizes in e1000_probe instead of magic values. This issue goes back to the introduction of e1000e in 2.6.24 when it was split off from e1000.

I'm slightly concerned by the "only in exceptional circumstances" comment on __pskb_pull_tail but the structure of an skb just created by netfront shouldn't hit any of the especially slow cases. This approach still does slightly more work than the old way, since if we pull up the entire first frag we now have to shuffle everything down where before we just received into the right place in the first place.

This patch reverts the offending commit and fixes be_poll() by avoid disabling BH there, this is okay because be_poll() can be called either by poll_napi() which already disables IRQ, or by net_rx_action() which already disables BH.

The cwnd reduction in fast recovery is based on the number of packets newly delivered per ACK. For non-sack connections every DUPACK signifies a packet has been delivered, but the sender mistakenly skips counting them for cwnd reduction. The fix is to compute newly_acked_sacked after DUPACKs are accounted in sacked_out for non-sack connections.

Non-root user-space processes can send Netlink messages to other processes that are well-known for being subscribed to Netlink asynchronous notifications. This allows ilegitimate non-root process to send forged messages to Netlink subscribers. The userspace process usually verifies the legitimate origin in two ways: a) Socket credentials. If UID != 0, then the message comes from some ilegitimate process and the message needs to be dropped. b) Netlink portID. In general, portID == 0 means that the origin of the messages comes from the kernel. Thus, discarding any message not coming from the kernel. However, ctnetlink sets the portID in event messages that has been triggered by some user-space process, eg. conntrack utility. So other processes subscribed to ctnetlink events, eg. conntrackd, know that the event was triggered by some user-space action. Neither of the two ways to discard ilegitimate messages coming from non-root processes can help for ctnetlink. This patch adds capability validation in case that dst_pid is set in netlink_sendmsg(). This approach is aggressive since existing applications using any Netlink bus to deliver messages between two user-space processes will break. Note that the exception is NETLINK_USERSOCK, since it is reserved for netlink-to-netlink userspace communication. Still, if anyone wants that his Netlink bus allows netlink-to-netlink userspace, then they can set NL_NONROOT_SEND. However, by default, I don't think it makes sense to allow to use NETLINK_ROUTE to communicate two processes that are sending no matter what information that is not related to link/neighbouring/routing. They should be using NETLINK_USERSOCK instead for that. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Sylvain Munault reported following info : - TCP connection get "stuck" with data in send queue when doing "large" transfers ( like typing 'ps ax' on a ssh connection ) - Only happens on path where the PMTU is lower than the MTU of the interface - Is not present right after boot, it only appears 10-20min after boot or so. (and that's inside the _same_ TCP connection, it works fine at first and then in the same ssh session, it'll get stuck) - Definitely seems related to fragments somehow since I see a router sending ICMP message saying fragmentation is needed. - Exact same setup works fine with kernel 3.5.1 Problem happens when the 10 minutes (ip_rt_mtu_expires) expiration period is over. ip_rt_update_pmtu() calls dst_set_expires() to rearm a new expiration, but dst_set_expires() does nothing because dst.expires is already set. It seems we want to set the expires field to a new value, regardless of prior one. With help from Julian Anastasov.
