bonding: get netdev_rx_handler_unregister out of locks

2013-04-05T17:16:54Z

[ Upstream commit fcd99434fb5c137274d2e15dd2a6a7455f0f29ff ] Now that netdev_rx_handler_unregister contains synchronize_net(), we need to call it outside of bond->lock, cause it might sleep. Also, remove the already unneded synchronize_net(). Signed-off-by: Veaceslav Falico Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

iommu/amd: Make sure dma_ops are set for hotplug devices

2013-04-05T17:16:54Z

commit c2a2876e863356b092967ea62bebdb4dd663af80 upstream. There is a bug introduced with commit 27c2127 that causes devices which are hot unplugged and then hot-replugged to not have per-device dma_ops set. This causes these devices to not function correctly. Fixed with this patch. Reported-by: Andreas Degert Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

smsc75xx: fix jumbo frame support

2013-04-05T17:16:54Z

[ Upstream commit 4c51e53689569398d656e631c17308d9b8e84650 ] This patch enables RX of jumbo frames for LAN7500. Previously the driver would transmit jumbo frames succesfully but would drop received jumbo frames (incrementing the interface errors count). With this patch applied the device can succesfully receive jumbo frames up to MTU 9000 (9014 bytes on the wire including ethernet header). Signed-off-by: Steve Glendinning Signed-off-by: David S.

pch_gbe: fix ip_summed checksum reporting on rx

2013-04-05T17:16:54Z

[ Upstream commit 76a0e68129d7d24eb995a6871ab47081bbfa0acc ] skb->ip_summed should be CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY when the driver reports that checksums were correct and CHECKSUM_NONE in any other case. They're currently placed vice versa, which breaks the forwarding scenario. Fix it by placing them as described above. Signed-off-by: Veaceslav Falico Signed-off-by: David S.

net: add a synchronize_net() in netdev_rx_handler_unregister()

2013-04-05T17:16:54Z

[ Upstream commit 00cfec37484761a44a3b6f4675a54caa618210ae ] commit 35d48903e97819 (bonding: fix rx_handler locking) added a race in bonding driver, reported by Steven Rostedt who did a very good diagnosis : I'm currently debugging a crash in an old 3.0-rt kernel that one of our customers is seeing. The bug happens with a stress test that loads and unloads the bonding module in a loop (I don't know all the details as I'm not the one that is directly interacting with the customer). But the bug looks to be something that may still be present and possibly present in mainline too. It will just be much harder to trigger it in mainline. In -rt, interrupts are threads, and can schedule in and out just like any other thread. Note, mainline now supports interrupt threads so this may be easily reproducible in mainline as well. I don't have the ability to tell the customer to try mainline or other kernels, so my hands are somewhat tied to what I can do. But according to a core dump, I tracked down that the eth irq thread crashed in bond_handle_frame() here: slave = bond_slave_get_rcu(skb->dev); bond = slave->bond; <--- BUG the slave returned was NULL and accessing slave->bond caused a NULL pointer dereference. Looking at the code that unregisters the handler: void netdev_rx_handler_unregister(struct net_device *dev) { ASSERT_RTNL(); RCU_INIT_POINTER(dev->rx_handler, NULL); RCU_INIT_POINTER(dev->rx_handler_data, NULL); } Which is basically: dev->rx_handler = NULL; dev->rx_handler_data = NULL; And looking at __netif_receive_skb() we have: rx_handler = rcu_dereference(skb->dev->rx_handler); if (rx_handler) { if (pt_prev) { ret = deliver_skb(skb, pt_prev, orig_dev); pt_prev = NULL; } switch (rx_handler(&skb)) { My question to all of you is, what stops this interrupt from happening while the bonding module is unloading? What happens if the interrupt triggers and we have this: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- rx_handler = skb->dev->rx_handler netdev_rx_handler_unregister() { dev->rx_handler = NULL; dev->rx_handler_data = NULL; rx_handler() bond_handle_frame() { slave = skb->dev->rx_handler; bond = slave->bond; <-- NULL pointer dereference!!! What protection am I missing in the bond release handler that would prevent the above from happening? We can fix bug this in two ways. First is adding a test in bond_handle_frame() and others to check if rx_handler_data is NULL. A second way is adding a synchronize_net() in netdev_rx_handler_unregister() to make sure that a rcu protected reader has the guarantee to see a non NULL rx_handler_data. The second way is better as it avoids an extra test in fast path. Reported-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Jiri Pirko Cc: Paul E.
