Toshiaki Makita says: ==================== bridge: Fix corner case problems around local fdb entries There are so many corner cases that are not handled properly around local fdb entries. - We might fail to delete the old entry and might delete an arbitrary local entry when changing mac address of a bridge port. - We always fail to delete the old entry when changing mac address of the bridge device. - We might incorrectly delete a necessary entry when detaching a bridge port. - We might incorrectly delete a necessary entry when deleting a vlan. and so on. This is a patch series to fix these issues. v3: - Handle NTF_USE case in patch 1/9, commented by Vlad Yasevich. - Tested port detach/attach and didn't find any problem with patch 5/9, suggested by Stephen Hemminger. - Add comments about possible inconsistent state in current implementation into commit log of patch 5/9, found by the above test. - Reword unintensive changelog of patch 7/9, commented by Vlad Yasevich. v2: - Change the way to find the old entry in br_fdb_changeaddr() from memorizing previous port address to introducing a new flag indicating whether a fdb entry is added by user or not, commented by Stephen Hemminger. - Add a fix for the way to insert a new address in br_fdb_changeaddr(). - Prevent creating an entry such that its dst is NULL in br_add_if() to preserve old behavior, commented by Vlad Yasevich. - Add more comments about slight behavior change, where the bridge device come to be able to receive traffic to an address it has during short window, to changelogs, commented by Vlad Yasevich. - Add a fix for possible race in br_fdb_change_mac_address(). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Vlan codes unconditionally delete local fdb entries. We should consider the possibility that other ports have the same address and vlan. Example of problematic case: ip link set eth0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab ip link set eth1 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 # br0 will have mac address 12:34:56:78:90:ab bridge vlan add dev eth0 vid 10 bridge vlan add dev eth1 vid 10 bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 10 self We will have fdb entry such that f->dst == eth0, f->vlan_id == 10 and f->addr == 12:34:56:78:90:ab at this time. Next, delete eth0 vlan 10. bridge vlan del dev eth0 vid 10 In this case, we still need the entry for br0, but it will be deleted. Note that br0 needs the entry even though its mac address is not set manually. To delete the entry with proper condition checking, fdb_delete_local() is suitable to use.

br_fdb_delete_by_port() doesn't care about vlan and mac address of the bridge device. As the check is almost the same as mac address changing, slightly modify fdb_delete_local() and use it. Note that we can always set added_by_user to 0 in fdb_delete_local() because - br_fdb_delete_by_port() calls fdb_delete_local() for local entries regardless of its added_by_user. In this case, we have to check if another port has the same address and vlan, and if found, we have to create the entry (by changing dst). This is kernel-added entry, not user-added. - br_fdb_changeaddr() doesn't call fdb_delete_local() for user-added entry.

br_fdb_change_mac_address() doesn't check if the local entry has the same address as any of bridge ports. Although I'm not sure when it is beneficial, current implementation allow the bridge device to receive any mac address of its ports. To preserve this behavior, we have to check if the mac address of the entry being deleted is identical to that of any port. As this check is almost the same as that in br_fdb_changeaddr(), create a common function fdb_delete_local() and call it from br_fdb_changeadddr() and br_fdb_change_mac_address().

We should take into account the followings when deleting a local fdb entry. - nbp_vlan_find() can be used only when vid != 0 to check if an entry is deletable, because a fdb entry with vid 0 can exist at any time while nbp_vlan_find() always return false with vid 0. Example of problematic case: ip link set eth0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab ip link set eth1 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 ip link set eth0 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff Then, the fdb entry 12:34:56:78:90:ab will be deleted even though the bridge port eth1 still has that address. - The port to which the bridge device is attached might needs a local entry if its mac address is set manually. Example of problematic case: ip link set eth0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab brctl addif br0 eth0 ip link set br0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab ip link set eth0 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff Then, the fdb still must have the entry 12:34:56:78:90:ab, but it will be deleted. We can use br->dev->addr_assign_type to check if the address is manually set or not, but I propose another approach. Since we delete and insert local entries whenever changing mac address of the bridge device, we can change dst of the entry to NULL regardless of addr_assign_type when deleting an entry associated with a certain port, and if it is found to be unnecessary later, then delete it. That is, if changing mac address of a port, the entry might be changed to its dst being NULL first, but is eventually deleted when recalculating and changing bridge id. This approach is especially useful when we want to share the code with deleting vlan in which the bridge device might want such an entry regardless of addr_assign_type, and makes things easy because we don't have to consider if mac address of the bridge device will be changed or not at the time we delete a local entry of a port, which means fdb code will not be bothered even if the bridge id calculating logic is changed in the future. Also, this change reduces inconsistent state, where frames whose dst is the mac address of the bridge, can't reach the bridge because of premature fdb entry deletion. This change reduces the possibility that the bridge device replies unreachable mac address to arp requests, which could occur during the short window between calling del_nbp() and br_stp_recalculate_bridge_id() in br_del_if(). This will effective after br_fdb_delete_by_port() starts to use the same code by following patch.

Vlan code may need fdb change when changing mac address of bridge device even if it is caused by the mac address changing of a bridge port. Example configuration: ip link set eth0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab ip link set eth1 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 # br0 will have mac address 12:34:56:78:90:ab bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 10 self bridge vlan add dev eth0 vid 10 We will have fdb entry such that f->dst == NULL, f->vlan_id == 10 and f->addr == 12:34:56:78:90:ab at this time. Next, change the mac address of eth0 to greater value. ip link set eth0 address ee:ff:12:34:56:78 Then, mac address of br0 will be recalculated and set to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff. However, an entry aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff will not be created and we will be not able to communicate using br0 on vlan 10. Address this issue by deleting and adding local entries whenever changing the mac address of the bridge device. If there already exists an entry that has the same address, for example, in case that br_fdb_changeaddr() has already inserted it, br_fdb_change_mac_address() will simply fail to insert it and no duplicated entry will be made, as it was. This approach also needs br_add_if() to call br_fdb_insert() before br_stp_recalculate_bridge_id() so that we don't create an entry whose dst == NULL in this function to preserve previous behavior. Note that this is a slight change in behavior where the bridge device can receive the traffic to the new address before calling br_stp_recalculate_bridge_id() in br_add_if(). However, it is not a problem because we have already the address on the new port and such a way to insert new one before recalculating bridge id is taken in br_device_event() as well.

We have been always failed to delete the old entry at br_fdb_change_mac_address() because br_set_mac_address() updates dev->dev_addr before calling br_fdb_change_mac_address() and br_fdb_change_mac_address() uses dev->dev_addr to find the old entry. That update of dev_addr is completely unnecessary because the same work is done in br_stp_change_bridge_id() which is called right away after calling br_fdb_change_mac_address().

Since commit bc9a25d2 ("bridge: Add vlan support for local fdb entries"), br_fdb_changeaddr() has inserted a new local fdb entry only if it can find old one. But if we have two ports where they have the same address or user has deleted a local entry, there will be no entry for one of the ports. Example of problematic case: ip link set eth0 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff ip link set eth1 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 # eth1 will not have a local entry due to dup. ip link set eth1 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab Then, the new entry for the address 12:34:56:78:90:ab will not be created, and the bridge device will not be able to communicate. Insert new entries regardless of whether we can find old entries or not.

br_fdb_changeaddr() assumes that there is at most one local entry per port per vlan. It used to be true, but since commit 36fd2b63 ("bridge: allow creating/deleting fdb entries via netlink"), it has not been so. Therefore, the function might fail to search a correct previous address to be deleted and delete an arbitrary local entry if user has added local entries manually. Example of problematic case: ip link set eth0 address ee:ff:12:34:56:78 brctl addif br0 eth0 bridge fdb add 12:34:56:78:90:ab dev eth0 master ip link set eth0 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff Then, the address 12:34:56:78:90:ab might be deleted instead of ee:ff:12:34:56:78, the original mac address of eth0. Address this issue by introducing a new flag, added_by_user, to struct net_bridge_fdb_entry. Note that br_fdb_delete_by_port() has to set added_by_user to 0 in cases like: ip link set eth0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab ip link set eth1 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff brctl addif br0 eth0 bridge fdb add aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff dev eth0 master brctl addif br0 eth1 brctl delif br0 eth0 In this case, kernel should delete the user-added entry aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff, but it also should have been added by "brctl addif br0 eth1" originally, so we don't delete it and treat it a new kernel-created entry.

As far as I can tell we have used a default of 60 seconds for FIN_WAIT2 timeout for ages (since 2.x times??). In any case, the timeout these days is 60 seconds, so the 3 min comment is wrong (and cost me a few minutes of my life when I was debugging a FIN_WAIT2 related problem in a userspace application and checked the kernel source for details).

The patch 446fab59 ("ipv6: enable anycast addresses as source addresses in ICMPv6 error messages") causes an Oops when pinging a not set up IPv6 peer on a sit tunnel. The problem is that ipv6_anycast_destination() uses unconditionally skb_dst(skb), which is NULL in this case. The solution is to use instead the ipv6_chk_acast_addr_src() function.

John W. Linville says: ==================== Please pull this batch of fixes intended for the 3.14 stream! For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This is just a collection of small fixes, the commit logs explain the details. The only thing that isn't strictly a fix is the 5/10 MHz enabling, I had forgotten this and there's little point in waiting longer. The patch simply removes the force-disable code that I put in when there was a problem with the userspace API (that has long been fixed.)" For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "I have an important fix that disables A band in case the driver thought it was enabled, and the firmware disagreed. We ended up making the firmware unhappy. I also fix the station table in AP mode and fix the scan while we have BT working. Johannes removes a static variable that could potentially lead to to issues on multi-device setups and disables scheduled scan to avoid issues with old versions of wpa_supplicant. A small fix from David on scan and a few new device IDs for 7265." On top of that... Oleksij Rempel adds a USB ID to the ar5523 driver and changes the default powersave setting for ath9k_htc to "off", due to observed stability issues (based on an equivalent ath9k patch). Stanislaw Gruszka similarly disables powersave for a couple of rt2x00 drivers. He also fixes a couple of scheduling while atomic issues in ath9k_htc. Sujith Manoharan rounds-out the powersave disables with one for ath9k. He also fixes a build prolem with ath9k on ARM and fixes an ath9k Tx power calculation. Finally, Andrea Merello fixes a couple of lingering DMA mapping problems in the rtl8180 driver. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/nftables/IPVS fixes for net The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes, mostly nftables fixes, most relevantly they are: * Fix a crash in the h323 conntrack NAT helper due to expectation list corruption, from Alexey Dobriyan. * A couple of RCU race fixes for conntrack, one manifests by hitting BUG_ON in nf_nat_setup_info() and the destroy path, patches from Andrey Vagin and me. * Dump direction attribute in nft_ct only if it is set, from Arturo Borrero. * Fix IPVS bug in its own connection tracking system that may lead to copying only 4 bytes of the IPv6 address when initializing the ip_vs_conn object, from Michal Kubecek. * Fix -EBUSY errors in nftables when deleting the rules, chain and tables in a row due mixture of asynchronous and synchronous object releasing, from me. * Three fixes for the nf_tables set infrastructure when using intervals and mappings, from me. * Four patches to fixing the nf_tables log, reject and ct expressions from the new inet table, from Patrick McHardy. * Fix memory overrun in the map that is used to dynamically allocate names from anonymous sets, also from Patrick. * Fix a potential oops if you dump a set with NFPROTO_UNSPEC and a table name, from Patrick McHardy. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Fix access to uninitialized data for end interval elements. The element data part is uninitialized in interval end elements. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

This patch fixes several things which related to the handling of end interval elements: * Chain use underflow with intervals and map: If you add a rule using intervals+map that introduces a loop, the error path of the rbtree set decrements the chain refcount for each side of the interval, leading to a chain use counter underflow. * Don't copy the data part of the end interval element since, this area is uninitialized and this confuses the loop detection code. * Don't allocate room for the data part of end interval elements since this is unused. So, after this patch the idea is that end interval elements don't have a data part. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Acked-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

TCP pacing depends on an accurate srtt estimation. Current srtt estimation is using jiffie resolution, and has an artificial offset of at least 1 ms, which can produce slowdowns when FQ/pacing is used, especially in DC world, where typical rtt is below 1 ms. We are planning a switch to usec resolution for linux-3.15, but in the meantime, this patch removes the 1 ms offset. All we need is to have tp->srtt minimal value of 1 to differentiate the case of srtt being initialized or not, not 8. The problematic behavior was observed on a 40Gbit testbed, where 32 concurrent netperf were reaching 12Gbps of aggregate speed, instead of line speed. This patch also has the effect of reporting more accurate srtt and send rates to iproute2 ss command as in : $ ss -i dst cca2 Netid State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port tcp ESTAB 0 0 10.244.129.1:56984 10.244.129.2:12865 cubic wscale:6,6 rto:200 rtt:0.25/0.25 ato:40 mss:1448 cwnd:10 send 463.4Mbps rcv_rtt:1 rcv_space:29200 tcp ESTAB 0 390960 10.244.129.1:60247 10.244.129.2:50204 cubic wscale:6,6 rto:200 rtt:0.875/0.75 mss:1448 cwnd:73 ssthresh:51 send 966.4Mbps unacked:73 retrans:0/121 rcv_space:29200 Reported-by: Vytautas Valancius <valas@google.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit 93d8bf9f ("bridge: cleanup netpoll code") introduced a check in br_netpoll_enable(), but this check is incorrect for br_netpoll_setup(). This patch moves the code after the check into __br_netpoll_enable() and calls it in br_netpoll_setup(). For br_add_if(), the check is still needed.

sock_alloc_send_pskb() & sk_page_frag_refill() have a loop trying high order allocations to prepare skb with low number of fragments as this increases performance. Problem is that under memory pressure/fragmentation, this can trigger OOM while the intent was only to try the high order allocations, then fallback to order-0 allocations. We had various reports from unexpected regressions. According to David, setting __GFP_NORETRY should be fine, as the asynchronous compaction is still enabled, and this will prevent OOM from kicking as in : CFSClientEventm invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x42d0, order=3, oom_adj=0, oom_score_adj=0, oom_score_badness=2 (enabled),memcg_scoring=disabled CFSClientEventm Call Trace: [<ffffffff8043766c>] dump_header+0xe1/0x23e [<ffffffff80437a02>] oom_kill_process+0x6a/0x323 [<ffffffff80438443>] out_of_memory+0x4b3/0x50d [<ffffffff8043a4a6>] __alloc_pages_may_oom+0xa2/0xc7 [<ffffffff80236f42>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1002/0x17f0 [<ffffffff8024bd23>] alloc_pages_current+0x103/0x2b0 [<ffffffff8028567f>] sk_page_frag_refill+0x8f/0x160 [<ffffffff80295fa0>] tcp_sendmsg+0x560/0xee0 [<ffffffff802a5037>] inet_sendmsg+0x67/0x100 [<ffffffff80283c9c>] __sock_sendmsg_nosec+0x6c/0x90 [<ffffffff80283e85>] sock_sendmsg+0xc5/0xf0 [<ffffffff802847b6>] __sys_sendmsg+0x136/0x430 [<ffffffff80284ec8>] sys_sendmsg+0x88/0x110 [<ffffffff80711472>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Out of Memory: Kill process 2856 (bash) score 9999 or sacrifice child Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.
