tg3: Avoid NULL pointer dereference in tg3_io_error_detected()

2016-09-30T05:27:27Z

While the driver is probing the adapter, an error may occur before the netdev structure is allocated and attached to pci_dev. In this case, not only netdev isn't available, but the tg3 private structure is also not available as it is just math from the NULL pointer, so dereferences must be skipped. The following trace is seen when the error is triggered: [1.402247] Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00001a99 [1.402410] Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000007e33f8 [1.402450] Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] [1.402481] SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA PowerNV [1.402513] Modules linked in: [1.402545] CPU: 0 PID: 651 Comm: eehd Not tainted 4.4.0-36-generic #55-Ubuntu [1.402591] task: c000001fe4e42a20 ti: c000001fe4e88000 task.ti: c000001fe4e88000 [1.402742] NIP: c0000000007e33f8 LR: c0000000007e3164 CTR: c000000000595ea0 [1.402787] REGS: c000001fe4e8b790 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted (4.4.0-36-generic) [1.402832] MSR: 9000000100009033 CR: 28000422 XER: 20000000 [1.403058] CFAR: c000000000008468 DAR: 0000000000001a99 DSISR: 42000000 SOFTE: 1 GPR00: c0000000007e3164 c000001fe4e8ba10 c0000000015c5e00 0000000000000000 GPR04: 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 0000000000000039 0000000000000299 GPR08: 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 c000001fe4e88000 0000000000000006 GPR12: 0000000000000000 c00000000fb40000 c0000000000e6558 c000003ca1bffd00 GPR16: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 GPR20: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 c000000000d52768 GPR24: c000000000d52740 0000000000000100 c000003ca1b52000 0000000000000002 GPR28: 0000000000000900 0000000000000000 c00000000152a0c0 c000003ca1b52000 [1.404226] NIP [c0000000007e33f8] tg3_io_error_detected+0x308/0x340 [1.404265] LR [c0000000007e3164] tg3_io_error_detected+0x74/0x340 This patch avoids the NULL pointer dereference by moving the access after the netdev NULL pointer check on tg3_io_error_detected(). Also, we add a check for netdev being NULL on tg3_io_resume() [suggested by Michael Chan].

Revert "net: ethernet: bcmgenet: use phydev from struct net_device"

2016-09-27T11:41:12Z

This reverts commit 62469c76007e ("net: ethernet: bcmgenet: use phydev from struct net_device") because it causes GENETv1/2/3 adapters to expose the following behavior after an ifconfig down/up sequence: PING fainelli-linux (10.112.156.244): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.352 ms 64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.472 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.496 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.517 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.536 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.557 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=752.448 ms (DUP!) This was previously fixed by commit 5dbebbb44a6a ("net: bcmgenet: Software reset EPHY after power on") but the commit we are reverting was essentially making this previous commit void, here is why. Without commit 62469c76007e we would have the following scenario after an ifconfig down then up sequence: - bcmgenet_open() calls bcmgenet_power_up() to make sure the PHY is initialized *before* we get to initialize the UniMAC, this is critical to ensure the PHY is in a correct state, priv->phydev is valid, this code executes fine - second time from bcmgenet_mii_probe(), through the normal phy_init_hw() call (which arguably could be optimized out) Everything is fine in that case. With commit 62469c76007e, we would have the following scenario to happen after an ifconfig down then up sequence: - bcmgenet_close() calls phy_disonnect() which makes dev->phydev become NULL - when bcmgenet_open() executes again and calls bcmgenet_mii_reset() from bcmgenet_power_up() to initialize the internal PHY, the NULL check becomes true, so we do not reset the PHY, yet we keep going on and initialize the UniMAC, causing MAC activity to occur - we call bcmgenet_mii_reset() from bcmgenet_mii_probe(), but this is too late, the PHY is botched, and causes the above bogus pings/packets transmission/reception to occur Reported-by: Jaedon Shin Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S.

net: fec: align IP header in hardware

2016-09-27T11:39:34Z

The FEC receive accelerator (RACC) supports shifting the data payload of received packets by 16-bits, which aligns the payload (IP header) on a 4-byte boundary, which is, if not required, at least strongly suggested by the Linux networking layer. Without this patch, a huge number of alignment faults will be taken by the IP stack, as seen in /proc/cpu/alignment: ~/$ cat /proc/cpu/alignment User: 0 System: 72645 (inet_gro_receive+0x104/0x27c) Skipped: 0 Half: 0 Word: 0 DWord: 0 Multi: 72645 User faults: 3 (fixup+warn) This patch was suggested by Andrew Lunn in this message to linux-netdev: http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=147465452108384&w=2 and adapted from a patch by Russell King from 2014: http://git.arm.linux.org.uk/cgit/linux-arm.git/commit/?id=70d8a8a Signed-off-by: Eric Nelson Signed-off-by: David S.

can: dev: fix deadlock reported after bus-off

2016-09-22T08:01:21Z

A timer was used to restart after the bus-off state, leading to a relatively large can_restart() executed in an interrupt context, which in turn sets up pinctrl. When this happens during system boot, there is a high probability of grabbing the pinctrl_list_mutex, which is locked already by the probe() of other device, making the kernel suspect a deadlock condition [1]. To resolve this issue, the restart_timer is replaced by a delayed work.

net: can: ifi: Configure transmitter delay

2016-09-21T08:32:24Z

Configure the transmitter delay register at +0x1c to correctly handle the CAN FD bitrate switch (BRS). This moves the SSP (secondary sample point) to a proper offset, so that the TDC mechanism works and won't generate error frames on the CAN link.
