In OOM situations where no skb can be allocated, can_change_state() may be called with cf == NULL. As this function updates the state and error statistics it's not an option to skip the call to can_change_state() in OOM situations. This patch makes can_change_state() robust, so that it can be called with cf == NULL. Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>

Commit 1aa6c4f6 ("net: vrf: Add l3mdev rules on first device create") adds the l3mdev FIB rule the first time a VRF device is created. However, it only creates the rule once and only in the namespace the first device is created - which may not be init_net. Fix by using the net_generic capability to make the add_fib_rules flag per network namespace.

I noticed that test_l4lb was failing in selftests: # ./test_progs test_pkt_access:PASS:ipv4 77 nsec test_pkt_access:PASS:ipv6 44 nsec test_xdp:PASS:ipv4 2933 nsec test_xdp:PASS:ipv6 1500 nsec test_l4lb:PASS:ipv4 377 nsec test_l4lb:PASS:ipv6 544 nsec test_l4lb:FAIL:stats 6297600000 200000 test_tcp_estats:PASS: 0 nsec Summary: 7 PASSED, 1 FAILED Tracking down the issue actually revealed that endianness selection in bpf_endian.h is broken when compiled with clang with bpf target. test_pkt_access.c, test_l4lb.c is compiled with __BYTE_ORDER as __BIG_ENDIAN, test_xdp.c as __LITTLE_ENDIAN! test_l4lb noticeably fails, because the test accounts bytes via bpf_ntohs(ip6h->payload_len) and bpf_ntohs(iph->tot_len), and compares them against a defined value and given a wrong endianness, the test outcome is different, of course. Turns out that there are actually two bugs: i) when we do __BYTE_ORDER comparison with __LITTLE_ENDIAN/__BIG_ENDIAN, then depending on the include order we see different outcomes. Reason is that __BYTE_ORDER is undefined due to missing endian.h include. Before we include the asm/byteorder.h (e.g. through linux/in.h), then __BYTE_ORDER equals __LITTLE_ENDIAN since both are undefined, after the include which correctly pulls in linux/byteorder/little_endian.h, __LITTLE_ENDIAN is defined, but given __BYTE_ORDER is still undefined, we match on __BYTE_ORDER equals to __BIG_ENDIAN since __BIG_ENDIAN is also undefined at that point, sigh. ii) But even that would be wrong, since when compiling the test cases with clang, one can select between bpfeb and bpfel targets for cross compilation. Hence, we can also not rely on what the system's endian.h provides, but we need to look at the compiler's defined endianness. The compiler defines __BYTE_ORDER__, and we can match __ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN__ and __ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN__, which also reflects targets bpf (native), bpfel, bpfeb correctly, thus really only rely on that.

While discussing the possible merits of clang warning about unused initialized functions, I found one function that was clearly meant to be called but never actually is. __ila_hash_secret_init() initializes the hash value for the ila locator, apparently this is intended to prevent hash collision attacks, but this ends up being a read-only zero constant since there is no caller. I could find no indication of why it was never called, the earliest patch submission for the module already was like this. If my interpretation is right, we certainly want to backport the patch to stable kernels as well. I considered adding it to the ila_xlat_init callback, but for best effect the random data is read as late as possible, just before it is first used. The underlying net_get_random_once() is already highly optimized to avoid overhead when called frequently.

emac_mdio_read_link() was not copying the requested phy settings back into the emac driver's own phy api.

This patch also unifies shared code between emac_setup_aneg() and emac_mdio_setup_forced(). And furthermore it removes a chunk of emac_mdio_init_phy(), that was copying the same data into itself.

This patch fixes a problem where the AR8035 PHY can't be detected on an Cisco Meraki MR24, if the ethernet cable is not connected on boot. Russell Senior provided steps to reproduce the issue: |Disconnect ethernet cable, apply power, wait until device has booted, |plug in ethernet, check for interfaces, no eth0 is listed. | |This appears to be a problem during probing of the AR8035 Phy chip. |When ethernet has no link, the phy detection fails, and eth0 is not |created. Plugging ethernet later has no effect, because there is no |interface as far as the kernel is concerned. The relevant part of |the boot log looks like this: |this is the failing case: | |[ 0.876611] /plb/opb/emac-rgmii@ef601500: input 0 in RGMII mode |[ 0.882532] /plb/opb/ethernet@ef600c00: reset timeout |[ 0.888546] /plb/opb/ethernet@ef600c00: can't find PHY! |and the succeeding case: | |[ 0.876672] /plb/opb/emac-rgmii@ef601500: input 0 in RGMII mode |[ 0.883952] eth0: EMAC-0 /plb/opb/ethernet@ef600c00, MAC 00:01:.. |[ 0.890822] eth0: found Atheros 8035 Gigabit Ethernet PHY (0x01) Based on the comment and the commit message of commit 23fbb5a8 ("emac: Fix EMAC soft reset on 460EX/GT"). This is because the AR8035 PHY doesn't provide the TX Clock, if the ethernet cable is not attached. This causes the reset to timeout and the PHY detection code in emac_init_phy() is unable to detect the AR8035 PHY. As a result, the emac driver bails out early and the user left with no ethernet. In order to stay compatible with existing configurations, the driver tries the current reset approach at first. Only if the first attempt timed out, it does perform one more retry with the clock temporarily switched to the internal source for just the duration of the reset.

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The current wrap implementation has a race issue: it is called outside of the ctx_alloc_lock, and also does not wait for all CPUs to complete the wrap. This means that a thread can get a new context with a new version and another thread might still be running with the same context. The problem is especially severe on CPUs with shared TLBs, like sun4v. I used the following test to very quickly reproduce the problem: - start over 8K processes (must be more than context IDs) - write and read values at a memory location in every process. Very quickly memory corruptions start happening, and what we read back does not equal what we wrote. Several approaches were explored before settling on this one: Approach 1: Move smp_new_mmu_context_version() inside ctx_alloc_lock, and wait for every process to complete the wrap. (Note: every CPU must WAIT before leaving smp_new_mmu_context_version_client() until every one arrives). This approach ends up with deadlocks, as some threads own locks which other threads are waiting for, and they never receive softint until these threads exit smp_new_mmu_context_version_client(). Since we do not allow the exit, deadlock happens. Approach 2: Handle wrap right during mondo interrupt. Use etrap/rtrap to enter into into C code, and issue new versions to every CPU. This approach adds some overhead to runtime: in switch_mm() we must add some checks to make sure that versions have not changed due to wrap while we were loading the new secondary context. (could be protected by PSTATE_IE but that degrades performance as on M7 and older CPUs as it takes 50 cycles for each access). Also, we still need a global per-cpu array of MMs to know where we need to load new contexts, otherwise we can change context to a thread that is going way (if we received mondo between switch_mm() and switch_to() time). Finally, there are some issues with window registers in rtrap() when context IDs are changed during CPU mondo time. The approach in this patch is the simplest and has almost no impact on runtime. We use the array with mm's where last secondary contexts were loaded onto CPUs and bump their versions to the new generation without changing context IDs. If a new process comes in to get a context ID, it will go through get_new_mmu_context() because of version mismatch. But the running processes do not need to be interrupted. And wrap is quicker as we do not need to xcall and wait for everyone to receive and complete wrap.

The new wrap is going to use information from this array to figure out mm's that currently have valid secondary contexts setup.

CTX_FIRST_VERSION defines the first context version, but also it defines first context. This patch redefines it to only include the first context version.

The only difference between these two functions is that in activate_mm we unconditionally flush context. However, there is no need to keep this difference after fixing a bug where cpumask was not reset on a wrap. So, in this patch we combine these.

After a wrap (getting a new context version) a process must get a new context id, which means that we would need to flush the context id from the TLB before running for the first time with this ID on every CPU. But, we use mm_cpumask to determine if this process has been running on this CPU before, and this mask is not reset after a wrap. So, there are two possible fixes for this issue: 1. Clear mm cpumask whenever mm gets a new context id 2. Unconditionally flush context every time process is running on a CPU This patch implements the first solution Signed-off-by: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Bob Picco <bob.picco@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Steven Sistare <steven.sistare@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
