fuse: fix pipe_buf_operations

2014-02-13T21:50:10Z

commit 28a625cbc2a14f17b83e47ef907b2658576a32aa upstream. Having this struct in module memory could Oops when if the module is unloaded while the buffer still persists in a pipe. Since sock_pipe_buf_ops is essentially the same as fuse_dev_pipe_buf_steal merge them into nosteal_pipe_buf_ops (this is the same as default_pipe_buf_ops except stealing the page from the buffer is not allowed).

bpf: do not use reciprocal divide

2014-02-06T19:22:20Z

[ Upstream commit aee636c4809fa54848ff07a899b326eb1f9987a2 ] At first Jakub Zawadzki noticed that some divisions by reciprocal_divide were not correct. (off by one in some cases) http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/reciprocal-buggy.c He could also show this with BPF: http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/set-and-dump-filter-k-bug.c The reciprocal divide in linux kernel is not generic enough, lets remove its use in BPF, as it is not worth the pain with current cpus.

netpoll: Fix missing TXQ unlock and and OOPS.

2014-01-15T23:31:38Z

[ Upstream commit aca5f58f9ba803ec8c2e6bcf890db17589e8dfcc ] The VLAN tag handling code in netpoll_send_skb_on_dev() has two problems. 1) It exits without unlocking the TXQ. 2) It then tries to queue a NULL skb to npinfo->txq.

vlan: Fix header ops passthru when doing TX VLAN offload.

2014-01-15T23:31:37Z

[ Upstream commit 2205369a314e12fcec4781cc73ac9c08fc2b47de ] When the vlan code detects that the real device can do TX VLAN offloads in hardware, it tries to arrange for the real device's header_ops to be invoked directly. But it does so illegally, by simply hooking the real device's header_ops up to the VLAN device. This doesn't work because we will end up invoking a set of header_ops routines which expect a device type which matches the real device, but will see a VLAN device instead. Fix this by providing a pass-thru set of header_ops which will arrange to pass the proper real device instead. To facilitate this add a dev_rebuild_header(). There are implementations which provide a ->cache and ->create but not a ->rebuild (f.e. PLIP). So we need a helper function just like dev_hard_header() to avoid crashes. Use this helper in the one existing place where the header_ops->rebuild was being invoked, the neighbour code. With lots of help from Florian Westphal. Signed-off-by: David S.

net: unix: allow set_peek_off to fail

2014-01-15T23:31:34Z

[ Upstream commit 12663bfc97c8b3fdb292428105dd92d563164050 ] unix_dgram_recvmsg() will hold the readlock of the socket until recv is complete. In the same time, we may try to setsockopt(SO_PEEK_OFF) which will hang until unix_dgram_recvmsg() will complete (which can take a while) without allowing us to break out of it, triggering a hung task spew. Instead, allow set_peek_off to fail, this way userspace will not hang. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net: clear local_df when passing skb between namespaces

2014-01-15T23:31:32Z

[ Upstream commit 239c78db9c41a8f524cce60507440d72229d73bc ] We must clear local_df when passing the skb between namespaces as the packet is not local to the new namespace any more and thus may not get fragmented by local rules. Fred Templin noticed that other namespaces do fragment IPv6 packets while forwarding. Instead they should have send back a PTB. The same problem should be present when forwarding DF-IPv4 packets between namespaces. Reported-by: Templin, Fred L Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.

{pktgen, xfrm} Update IPv4 header total len and checksum after tranformation

2013-12-08T15:29:15Z

[ Upstream commit 3868204d6b89ea373a273e760609cb08020beb1a ] commit a553e4a6317b2cfc7659542c10fe43184ffe53da ("[PKTGEN]: IPSEC support") tried to support IPsec ESP transport transformation for pktgen, but acctually this doesn't work at all for two reasons(The orignal transformed packet has bad IPv4 checksum value, as well as wrong auth value, reported by wireshark) - After transpormation, IPv4 header total length needs update, because encrypted payload's length is NOT same as that of plain text. - After transformation, IPv4 checksum needs re-caculate because of payload has been changed. With this patch, armmed pktgen with below cofiguration, Wireshark is able to decrypted ESP packet generated by pktgen without any IPv4 checksum error or auth value error. pgset "flag IPSEC" pgset "flows 1" Signed-off-by: Fan Du Signed-off-by: David S.

gso: handle new frag_list of frags GRO packets

2013-12-08T15:29:14Z

[ Upstream commit 9d8506cc2d7ea1f911c72c100193a3677f6668c3 ] Recently GRO started generating packets with frag_lists of frags. This was not handled by GSO, thus leading to a crash. Thankfully these packets are of a regular form and are easy to handle. This patch handles them in two ways. For completely non-linear frag_list entries, we simply continue to iterate over the frag_list frags once we exhaust the normal frags. For frag_list entries with linear parts, we call pskb_trim on the first part of the frag_list skb, and then process the rest of the frags in the usual way. This patch also kills a chunk of dead frag_list code that has obviously never ever been run since it ends up generating a bogus GSO-segmented packet with a frag_list entry. Future work is planned to split super big packets into TSO ones.

net: core: Always propagate flag changes to interfaces

2013-12-08T15:29:14Z

[ Upstream commit d2615bf450694c1302d86b9cc8a8958edfe4c3a4 ] The following commit: b6c40d68ff6498b7f63ddf97cf0aa818d748dee7 net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP tried to fix a problem with VLAN devices and promiscuouse flag setting. The issue was that VLAN device was setting a flag on an interface that was down, thus resulting in bad promiscuity count. This commit blocked flag propagation to any device that is currently down. A later commit: deede2fabe24e00bd7e246eb81cd5767dc6fcfc7 vlan: Don't propagate flag changes on down interfaces fixed VLAN code to only propagate flags when the VLAN interface is up, thus fixing the same issue as above, only localized to VLAN. The problem we have now is that if we have create a complex stack involving multiple software devices like bridges, bonds, and vlans, then it is possible that the flags would not propagate properly to the physical devices. A simple examle of the scenario is the following: eth0----> bond0 ----> bridge0 ---> vlan50 If bond0 or eth0 happen to be down at the time bond0 is added to the bridge, then eth0 will never have promisc mode set which is currently required for operation as part of the bridge. As a result, packets with vlan50 will be dropped by the interface. The only 2 devices that implement the special flag handling are VLAN and DSA and they both have required code to prevent incorrect flag propagation. As a result we can remove the generic solution introduced in b6c40d68ff6498b7f63ddf97cf0aa818d748dee7 and leave it to the individual devices to decide whether they will block flag propagation or not.
