The alignment requirement for 64-bit load/store instructions on ARM is implementation defined. Some CPUs (such as Marvell Feroceon) do not generate an exception, if such an instruction is executed with an address that is not 64 bit aligned. In such a case, the Feroceon corrupts adjacent memory, which showed up in my tests as a crash in the rx path of ath9k that only occured with CONFIG_XFRM set. This crash happened, because the first field of the mac80211 rx status info in the cb is an u64, and changing it corrupted the skb->sp field. This patch also closes some potential pre-existing holes in the sk_buff struct surrounding the cb[] area. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: David S.

commit e8469ed959c373c2ff9e6f488aa5a14971aebe1f Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Date: Tue Feb 23 20:41:30 2010 +0100 Support specifying the initial device flags when creating a device though rtnl_link. Devices allocated by rtnl_create_link() are marked as INITIALIZING in order to surpress netlink registration notifications. To complete setup, rtnl_configure_link() must be called, which performs the device flag changes and invokes the deferred notifiers if everything went well. Two examples: # add macvlan to eth0 # $ ip link add link eth0 up allmulticast on type macvlan [LINK]11: macvlan0@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,ALLMULTI,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/ether 26:f8:84:02:f9:2a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [ROUTE]ff00::/8 dev macvlan0 table local metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 0 [ROUTE]fe80::/64 dev macvlan0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 0 [LINK]11: macvlan0@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,ALLMULTI,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 link/ether 26:f8:84:02:f9:2a [ADDR]11: macvlan0 inet6 fe80::24f8:84ff:fe02:f92a/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever [ROUTE]local fe80::24f8:84ff:fe02:f92a via :: dev lo table local proto none metric 0 mtu 16436 advmss 16376 hoplimit 0 [ROUTE]default via fe80::215:e9ff:fef0:10f8 dev macvlan0 proto kernel metric 1024 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 0 [NEIGH]fe80::215:e9ff:fef0:10f8 dev macvlan0 lladdr 00:15:e9:f0:10:f8 router STALE [ROUTE]2001:6f8:974::/64 dev macvlan0 proto kernel metric 256 expires 0sec mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 0 [PREFIX]prefix 2001:6f8:974::/64 dev macvlan0 onlink autoconf valid 14400 preferred 131084 [ADDR]11: macvlan0 inet6 2001:6f8:974:0:24f8:84ff:fe02:f92a/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 86399sec preferred_lft 14399sec # add VLAN to eth1, eth1 is down # $ ip link add link eth1 up type vlan id 1000 RTNETLINK answers: Network is down <no events> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

Split dev_change_flags() into two functions: __dev_change_flags() to perform the actual changes and __dev_notify_flags() to invoke netdevice notifiers. This will be used by rtnl_link to defer netlink notifications until the device has been fully configured. This changes ordering of some operations, in particular: - netlink notifications are sent after all changes have been performed. As a side effect this surpresses one unnecessary netlink message when the IFF_UP and other flags are changed simultaneously. - The NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_CHANGE notifiers are invoked after all changes have been performed. Their relative is unchanged. - net_dmaengine_put() is invoked before the NETDEV_DOWN notifier instead of afterwards. This should not make any difference since both RX and TX are already shut down at this point. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In order to support specifying device flags during device creation, we must be able to roll back device registration in case setting the flags fails without sending any notifications related to the device to userspace. This patch changes rollback_registered_many() and register_netdevice() to manually send netlink notifications for devices not handled by rtnl_link and allows to defer notifications for devices handled by rtnl_link until setup is complete.

Commit 3b8bcfd5 (net: introduce pre-up netdev notifier) added a new notifier which is run before a device is set UP for use by cfg80211. The patch missed to add the new notifier to the ignore list in rtnetlink_event(), so we currently get an unnecessary netlink notification before a device is set UP.

This makes the b43 driver just automatically fall back to PIO mode when DMA doesn't work. The driver already told the user to do it, so rather than have the user reload the module with a new flag, just make the driver do it automatically. We keep the message as an indication that something is wrong, but now just automatically fall back to the hopefully working PIO case.

In "wireless: remove WLAN_80211 and WLAN_PRE80211 from Kconfig" I inadvertantly missed a line in include/linux/netdevice.h. I thereby effectively reverted "net: Set LL_MAX_HEADER properly for wireless." by accident. :-( Now we should check there for CONFIG_WLAN instead. Signed-off-by: John W.

Currently if a driver does not set hw.max_listen_interval a listen interval of 1 is negotiated with the AP. Thus, the AP could drop buffered frames for us after just one beacon interval which can easily happen with the current powersave and scan implementation. To avoid this issue increase the default interval to 5 which should be a reasonable safe default. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

While ath9k does not support RIFS yet, the ability to receive RIFS frames is currently enabled for most chipsets in the initvals. This is causing baseband related issues on AR9160 and AR9130 based chipsets, which can lock up under certain conditions. This patch fixes these issues by overriding the initvals, effectively disabling RIFS for all affected chipsets. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Acked-by: Luis R.

Quick fix for memory/module refcount leak. Reference count of listener instance never reaches 0. Start/stop of ulogd2 is enough to trigger this bug! Now, refcounting there looks very fishy in particular this code: if (!try_module_get(THIS_MODULE)) { ... and creation of listener instance with refcount 2, so it may very well be ripped and redone. :-) Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

Clients will set their MTU to 1280 if they receive a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG message with an MTU less than 1280. To allow encapsulating of packets over a 1280 link we should always accept packets with a size of 1280 for forwarding even if the path has a lower MTU and fragment the encapsulated packets afterwards. In case a forwarded packet is not going to be encapsulated a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG msg will still be send by ip6_fragment() with the correct MTU.
