mlx4 uses a private struct net_device_stats in a vain attempt to avoid races. This is buggy because multiple cpus could call mlx4_en_get_stats() at the same time, so ret_stats can not guarantee stable results. To fix this, we need to switch to ndo_get_stats64() as this method provides per-thread storage. This allows to reduce mlx4_en_priv bloat.

1) mlx4_en_xmit() can increment priv->stats.tx_dropped, but this variable is overwritten in mlx4_en_DUMP_ETH_STATS(). 2) This increment was not SMP safe, as a port might have many TX queues. Add a per TX ring tx_dropped to fix these issues. This is u32 as mlx4_en_DUMP_ETH_STATS() will add a 32bit field. So lets avoid bugs with SNMP agents having to cope with partial overwraps. (One of these agents being bond_fold_stats()) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Cc: Eugenia Emantayev <eugenia@mellanox.com> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

We have this situation: that EP hash table, contains only the EPs that are listening, while the transports one, has the opposite. We have to traverse both to dump all. But when we traverse the transports one we will also get EPs that are in the EP hash if they are listening. In this case, the EP is dumped twice. We will fix it by checking if the endpoint that is in the endpoint hash table contains any ep->asoc in there, as it means we will also find it via transport hash, and thus we can/should skip it, depending on the filters used, like 'ss -l'. Still, we should NOT skip it if the user is listing only listening endpoints, because then we are not traversing the transport hash. so we have to check idiag_states there also.

This patch follows Eric Dumazet's commit 7b701764 for Atheros atl1c driver to fix one exactly same bug in alx driver, that the network link will be lost in 1-5 minutes after the device is up. My laptop Lenovo Y580 with Atheros AR8161 ethernet device hit the same problem with kernel 4.4, and it will be cured by Jarod Wilson's commit c406700c for alx driver which get merged in 4.5. But there are still some alx devices can't function well even with Jarod's patch, while this patch could make them work fine. More details on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70761 The debug shows the issue is very likely to be related with the RX DMA address, specifically 0x...f80, if RX buffer get 0x...f80 several times, their will be RX overflow error and device will stop working. For kernel 4.5.0 with Jarod's patch which works fine with my AR8161/Lennov Y580, if I made some change to the __netdev_alloc_skb --> __alloc_page_frag() to make the allocated buffer can get an address with 0x...f80, then the same error happens. If I make it to 0x...f40 or 0x....fc0, everything will be still fine. So I tend to believe that the 0x..f80 address cause the silicon to behave abnormally.

The team_device_event() notifier calls team_compute_features() to fix vlan_features under team->lock to protect team->port_list. The problem is that subsequent __team_compute_features() calls netdev_change_features() to propagate vlan_features to upper vlan devices while team->lock is still taken. This can lead to deadlock when NETIF_F_LRO is modified on lower devices or team device itself. Example: The team0 as active backup with eth0 and eth1 NICs. Both eth0 & eth1 are LRO capable and LRO is enabled. Thus LRO is also enabled on team0. The command 'ethtool -K team0 lro off' now hangs due to this deadlock: dev_ethtool() -> ethtool_set_features() -> __netdev_update_features(team) -> netdev_sync_lower_features() -> netdev_update_features(lower_1) -> __netdev_update_features(lower_1) -> netdev_features_change(lower_1) -> call_netdevice_notifiers(...) -> team_device_event(lower_1) -> team_compute_features(team) [TAKES team->lock] -> netdev_change_features(team) -> __netdev_update_features(team) -> netdev_sync_lower_features() -> netdev_update_features(lower_2) -> __netdev_update_features(lower_2) -> netdev_features_change(lower_2) -> call_netdevice_notifiers(...) -> team_device_event(lower_2) -> team_compute_features(team) [DEADLOCK] The bug is present in team from the beginning but it appeared after the commit fd867d51 (net/core: generic support for disabling netdev features down stack) that adds synchronization of features with lower devices.

I found a serious performance bug in packet schedulers using hrtimers. sch_htb and sch_fq are definitely impacted by this problem. We constantly rearm high resolution timers if some packets are throttled in one (or more) class, and other packets are flying through qdisc on another (non throttled) class. hrtimer_start() does not have the mod_timer() trick of doing nothing if expires value does not change : if (timer_pending(timer) && timer->expires == expires) return 1; This issue is particularly visible when multiple cpus can queue/dequeue packets on the same qdisc, as hrtimer code has to lock a remote base. I used following fix : 1) Change htb to use qdisc_watchdog_schedule_ns() instead of open-coding it. 2) Cache watchdog prior expiration. hrtimer might provide this, but I prefer to not rely on some hrtimer internal.

One timer, whose handler keeps reading on MMIO register for EEH core to detect error in time, is started when the PCI device driver is loaded. MMIO register can't be accessed during PE reset in EEH recovery. Otherwise, the unexpected recursive error is triggered. The timer isn't closed that time if the interface isn't brought up. So the unexpected recursive error is seen during EEH recovery when the interface is down. This avoids the unexpected recursive EEH error by closing the timer in qlge_io_error_detected() before EEH PE reset unconditionally. The timer is started unconditionally after EEH PE reset in qlge_io_resume(). Also, the timer should be closed unconditionally when the device is removed from the system permanently in qlge_io_error_detected(). Reported-by: Shriya R.

Follow-up to commit e27f4a94 ("bpf: Use mount_nodev not mount_ns to mount the bpf filesystem"), which removes the FS_USERNS_MOUNT flag. The original idea was to have a per mountns instance instead of a single global fs instance, but that didn't work out and we had to switch to mount_nodev() model. The intent of that middle ground was that we avoid users who don't play nice to create endless instances of bpf fs which are difficult to control and discover from an admin point of view, but at the same time it would have allowed us to be more flexible with regard to namespaces. Therefore, since we now did the switch to mount_nodev() as a fix where individual instances are created, we also need to remove userns mount flag along with it to avoid running into mentioned situation. I don't expect any breakage at this early point in time with removing the flag and we can revisit this later should the requirement for this come up with future users. This and commit e27f4a94 have been split to facilitate tracking should any of them run into the unlikely case of causing a regression.

Commit fa50d974 ("ipv4: Namespaceify ip_default_ttl sysctl knob") moves the default TTL assignment, and as side-effect IPv4 TTL now has a default value only if sysctl support is enabled (CONFIG_SYSCTL=y). The sysctl_ip_default_ttl is fundamental for IP to work properly, as it provides the TTL to be used as default. The defautl TTL may be used in ip_selected_ttl, through the following flow: ip_select_ttl ip4_dst_hoplimit net->ipv4.sysctl_ip_default_ttl This commit fixes the issue by assigning net->ipv4.sysctl_ip_default_ttl in net_init_net, called during ipv4's initialization. Without this commit, a kernel built without sysctl support will send all IP packets with zero TTL (unless a TTL is explicitly set, e.g. with setsockopt). Given a similar issue might appear on the other knobs that were namespaceify, this commit also moves them.

The sk_err and sk_err_soft fields are positive errno values and userspace applications rely on this when using getsockopt(SO_ERROR). ATM code places an -errno into sk_err_soft in sigd_send() and returns it from svc_addparty()/svc_dropparty(). Although I am not familiar with ATM code I came to this conclusion because: 1. sigd_send() msg->type cases as_okay and as_error both have: sk->sk_err = -msg->reply; while the as_addparty and as_dropparty cases have: sk->sk_err_soft = msg->reply; This is the source of the inconsistency. 2. svc_addparty() returns an -errno and assumes sk_err_soft is also an -errno: if (flags & O_NONBLOCK) { error = -EINPROGRESS; goto out; } ... error = xchg(&sk->sk_err_soft, 0); out: release_sock(sk); return error; This shows that sk_err_soft is indeed being treated as an -errno. This patch ensures that sk_err_soft is always a positive errno. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

As that jump is dynamically converted to jump to the trace code to do function graph tracing, and that conversion expects a long jump it can corrupt the ftrace_stub itself (it's directly after that call).

I'm looking at trying to possibly merge the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the x86 uaccess.h implementation, but first this needs to be cleaned up. For example, the 32-bit version of "__copy_from_user_inatomic()" is mostly the special cases for the constant size, and it's actually almost never relevant. Most users aren't actually using a constant size anyway, and the few cases that do small constant copies are better off just using __get_user() instead. So get rid of the unnecessary complexity.
