Weiping Pan noticed that the module option description for xmit_hash_policy was incorrect and was nice enough to post a patch to fix it. The text was correct, but created a line over 80 characters and I would rather not add those. I realized I could take a few minutes and clean up all the descriptions and things would look much better. This is the result. Based on patch from Weiping Pan <panweiping3@gmail.com>.

The bonding driver initializes some data structures only after its ndo_open routine is called. Among them is the initalization of the alb tx and rx hash locks. So if we add or remove a slave without first opening the bond master device, we run the risk of trying to lock/unlock a spinlock that has garbage for data in it, which results in our above softlock. Note that sometimes this works, because in many cases an unlocked spinlock has the raw_lock parameter initialized to zero (meaning that the kzalloc of the net_device private data is equivalent to calling spin_lock_init), but thats not true in all cases, and we aren't guaranteed that condition, so we need to pass the relevant spinlocks through the spin_lock_init function. Fix it by moving the spin_lock_init calls for the tx and rx hashtable locks to the ndo_init path, so they are ready for use by the bond_store_slaves path. Change notes: v2) Based on conversation with Jay and Nicolas it seems that the ability to enslave devices while the bond master is down should be safe to do. As such this is an outlier bug, and so instead we'll just initalize the errant spinlocks in the init path rather than the open path, solving the problem. We'll also remove the warnings about the bond being down during enslave operations, since it should be safe v3) Fix spelling error Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Reported-by: jtluka@redhat.com CC: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> CC: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> CC: nicolas.2p.debian@gmail.com CC: "David S.

Commit e67f88dd (dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks) missed fact that rtnl_fill_ifinfo() must be called with rtnl held. Because of possible deadlocks between two mutexes (cb_mutex and rtnl), its not easy to solve this problem, so revert this part of the patch. It also forgot one rcu_read_unlock() in FIB dump_rules() Add one ASSERT_RTNL() in rtnl_fill_ifinfo() to remind us the rule.

Ulrich Hecht authored
On ARM, memory accesses through packed pointers behave in unexpected ways in GCC releases 4.3 and higher; see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/2/163 for discussion. In this particular case, 32-bit I/O registers are accessed bytewise, causing incorrect setting of the DMA address registers which in turn leads to an error interrupt storm that brings the system to a halt. Since the mac_regs structure does not need any packing anyway, this patch simply removes the attribute to fix the issue. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Hecht <uli@suse.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

Veaceslav Falico authored
In igmp_group_dropped() we call ip_mc_clear_src(), which resets the number of source filters per mulitcast. However, igmp_group_dropped() is also called on NETDEV_DOWN, NETDEV_PRE_TYPE_CHANGE and NETDEV_UNREGISTER, which means that the group might get added back on NETDEV_UP, NETDEV_REGISTER and NETDEV_POST_TYPE_CHANGE respectively, leaving us with broken source filters. To fix that, we must clear the source filters only when there are no users in the ip_mc_list, i.e. in ip_mc_dec_group() and on device destroy.

Dan Rosenberg authored
The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers, specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl. If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user (intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG (currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's. If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects "(nil)". The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm tree. This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK. Cases of printing pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.

While chasing a possible net_sched bug, I found that IP fragments have litle chance to pass a congestioned SFQ qdisc : - Say SFQ qdisc is full because one flow is non responsive. - ip_fragment() wants to send two fragments belonging to an idle flow. - sfq_enqueue() queues first packet, but see queue limit reached : - sfq_enqueue() drops one packet from 'big consumer', and returns NET_XMIT_CN. - ip_fragment() cancel remaining fragments. This patch restores fairness, making sure we return NET_XMIT_CN only if we dropped a packet from the same flow.

Ehea will not register multicast groups in phyp if the physical interface is in promiscuous mode. But it should register if the logical port is in promiscuous mode, but the physical port is not. Ehea physical promiscuous mode is defined by ehea_port->promisc, while logical port is defined by IFF_PROMISC. So currently, if the user set the interface in promiscuous mode, IGMP will not be registred in PHYP, and PHYP will never pass the multicast packet to the logical port, which is bad So, this patch just fixes it, assuring that we register in phyp if the physical port is not on promiscuous mode.
