Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Revert iwlwifi reclaimed packet tracking, it causes problems for a bunch of folks. From Emmanuel Grumbach. 2) Work limiting code in brcmsmac wifi driver can clear tx status without processing the event. From Arend van Spriel. 3) rtlwifi USB driver processes wrong SKB, fix from Larry Finger. 4) l2tp tunnel delete can race with close, fix from Tom Parkin. 5) pktgen_add_device() failures are not checked at all, fix from Cong Wang. 6) Fix unintentional removal of carrier off from tun_detach(), otherwise we confuse userspace, from Michael S. Tsirkin. 7) Don't leak socket reference counts and ubufs in vhost-net driver, from Jason Wang. 8) vmxnet3 driver gets it's initial carrier state wrong, fix from Neil Horman. 9) Protect against USB networking devices which spam the host with 0 length frames, from Bjørn Mork. 10) Prevent neighbour overflows in ipv6 for locally destined routes, from Marcelo Ricardo. This is the best short-term fix for this, a longer term fix has been implemented in net-next. 11) L2TP uses ipv4 datagram routines in it's ipv6 code, whoops. This mistake is largely because the ipv6 functions don't even have some kind of prefix in their names to suggest they are ipv6 specific. From Tom Parkin. 12) Check SYN packet drops properly in tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack(), from Yuchung Cheng. 13) Fix races and TX skb freeing bugs in via-rhine's NAPI support, from Francois Romieu and your's truly. 14) Fix infinite loops and divides by zero in TCP congestion window handling, from Eric Dumazet, Neal Cardwell, and Ilpo Järvinen. 15) AF_PACKET tx ring handling can leak kernel memory to userspace, fix from Phil Sutter. 16) Fix error handling in ipv6 GRE tunnel transmit, from Tommi Rantala. 17) Protect XEN netback driver against hostile frontend putting garbage into the rings, don't leak pages in TX GOP checking, and add proper resource releasing in error path of xen_netbk_get_requests(). From Ian Campbell. 18) SCTP authentication keys should be cleared out and released with kzfree(), from Daniel Borkmann. 19) L2TP is a bit too clever trying to maintain skb->truesize, and ends up corrupting socket memory accounting to the point where packet sending is halted indefinitely. Just remove the adjustments entirely, they aren't really needed. From Eric Dumazet. 20) ATM Iphase driver uses a data type with the same name as the S390 headers, rename to fix the build. From Heiko Carstens. 21) Fix a typo in copying the inner network header offset from one SKB to another, from Pravin B Shelar. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (56 commits) net: sctp: sctp_endpoint_free: zero out secret key data net: sctp: sctp_setsockopt_auth_key: use kzfree instead of kfree atm/iphase: rename fregt_t -> ffreg_t net: usb: fix regression from FLAG_NOARP code l2tp: dont play with skb->truesize net: sctp: sctp_auth_key_put: use kzfree instead of kfree netback: correct netbk_tx_err to handle wrap around. xen/netback: free already allocated memory on failure in xen_netbk_get_requests xen/netback: don't leak pages on failure in xen_netbk_tx_check_gop. xen/netback: shutdown the ring if it contains garbage. net: qmi_wwan: add more Huawei devices, including E320 net: cdc_ncm: add another Huawei vendor specific device ipv6/ip6_gre: fix error case handling in ip6gre_tunnel_xmit() tcp: fix for zero packets_in_flight was too broad brcmsmac: rework of mac80211 .flush() callback operation ssb: unregister gpios before unloading ssb bcma: unregister gpios before unloading bcma rtlwifi: Fix scheduling while atomic bug net: usbnet: fix tx_dropped statistics tcp: ipv6: Update MIB counters for drops ...

tcm_vhost: fix pr_err on early kick

2013-01-31T21:06:06Z

It's OK to get kick before backend is set or after it is cleared, we can just ignore it. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger

vhost_net: handle polling errors when setting backend

2013-01-29T20:43:03Z

Currently, the polling errors were ignored, which can lead following issues: - vhost remove itself unconditionally from waitqueue when stopping the poll, this may crash the kernel since the previous attempt of starting may fail to add itself to the waitqueue - userspace may think the backend were successfully set even when the polling failed. Solve this by: - check poll->wqh before trying to remove from waitqueue - report polling errors in vhost_poll_start(), tx_poll_start(), the return value will be checked and returned when userspace want to set the backend After this fix, there still could be a polling failure after backend is set, it will addressed by the next patch.

vhost_net: correct error handling in vhost_net_set_backend()

2013-01-29T20:43:03Z

Currently, when vhost_init_used() fails the sock refcnt and ubufs were leaked. Correct this by calling vhost_init_used() before assign ubufs and restore the oldsock when it fails. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Pull target updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "It has been a very busy development cycle this time around in target land, with the highlights including: - Kill struct se_subsystem_dev, in favor of direct se_device usage (hch) - Simplify reservations code by combining SPC-3 + SCSI-2 support for virtual backends only (hch) - Simplify ALUA code for virtual only backends, and remove left over abstractions (hch) - Pass sense_reason_t as return value for I/O submission path (hch) - Refactor MODE_SENSE emulation to allow for easier addition of new mode pages. (roland) - Add emulation of MODE_SELECT (roland) - Fix bug in handling of ExpStatSN wrap-around (steve) - Fix bug in TMR ABORT_TASK lookup in qla2xxx target (steve) - Add WRITE_SAME w/ UNMAP=0 support for IBLOCK backends (nab) - Convert ib_srpt to use modern target_submit_cmd caller + drop legacy ioctx->kref usage (nab) - Convert ib_srpt to use modern target_submit_tmr caller (nab) - Add link_magic for fabric allow_link destination target_items for symlinks within target_core_fabric_configfs.c code (nab) - Allocate pointers in instead of full structs for config_group->default_groups (sebastian) - Fix 32-bit highmem breakage for FILEIO (sebastian) All told, hch was able to shave off another ~1K LOC by killing the se_subsystem_dev abstraction, along with a number of PR + ALUA simplifications. Also, a nice patch by Roland is the refactoring of MODE_SENSE handling, along with the addition of initial MODE_SELECT emulation support for virtual backends. Sebastian found a long-standing issue wrt to allocation of full config_group instead of pointers for config_group->default_group[] setup in a number of areas, which ends up saving memory with big configurations. He also managed to fix another long-standing BUG wrt to broken 32-bit highmem support within the FILEIO backend driver.

vhost-net: enable zerocopy tx by default

2012-12-06T15:09:18Z

Zero copy TX has been around for a while now. We seem to be down to eliminating theoretical bugs and performance tuning at this point: it's probably time to enable it by default so that most users get the benefit. Keep the flag around meanwhile so users can experiment with disabling this if they experience regressions. I expect that we will remove it in the future. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

vhost-net: skip head management if no outstanding

2012-12-06T15:09:18Z

For short packets zerocopy mode adds overhead of managing heads which isn't necessary: we could simly update used ring directly same as with zerocopy disabled. Things seem to run a bit faster if we detect and bypass head management when zcopy isn't used. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

vhost-net: flush outstanding DMAs on memory change

2012-12-06T15:09:18Z

When memory map changes, we need to flush outstanding DMAs as they might in theory reference old memory addresses. To do this simply stop initiating new DMAs and wait for ubufs ref count to drop to 0. Afterwards reset the count back to 1. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin
