net-rps: Fix brokeness causing OOO packets

2012-11-26T19:37:47Z

[ Upstream commit baefa31db2f2b13a05d1b81bdf2d20d487f58b0a ] In commit c445477d74ab3779 which adds aRFS to the kernel, the CPU selected for RFS is not set correctly when CPU is changing. This is causing OOO packets and probably other issues. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[ Upstream commit a652208e0b52c190e57f2a075ffb5e897fe31c3b ] Check (ha->addr == dev->dev_addr) is always true because dev_addr_init() sets this. Correct the check to behave properly on addr removal. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

af-packet: fix oops when socket is not present

2012-11-17T21:16:20Z

[ Upstream commit a3d744e995d2b936c500585ae39d99ee251c89b4 ] Due to a NULL dereference, the following patch is causing oops in normal trafic condition: commit c0de08d04215031d68fa13af36f347a6cfa252ca Author: Eric Leblond Date: Thu Aug 16 22:02:58 2012 +0000 af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout group This buggy patch was a feature fix and has reached most stable branches. When skb->sk is NULL and when packet fanout is used, there is a crash in match_fanout_group where skb->sk is accessed. This patch fixes the issue by returning false as soon as the socket is NULL: this correspond to the wanted behavior because the kernel as to resend the skb to all the listening socket in this case.

vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols

2012-10-28T17:14:15Z

[ Upstream commit 48cc32d38a52d0b68f91a171a8d00531edc6a46e ] 6a32e4f9dd9219261f8856f817e6655114cfec2f made the vlan code skip marking vlan-tagged frames for not locally configured vlans as PACKET_OTHERHOST if there was an rx_handler, as the rx_handler could cause the frame to be received on a different (virtual) vlan-capable interface where that vlan might be configured. As rx_handlers do not necessarily return RX_HANDLER_ANOTHER, this could cause frames for unknown vlans to be delivered to the protocol stack as if they had been received untagged. For example, if an ipv6 router advertisement that's tagged for a locally not configured vlan is received on an interface with macvlan interfaces attached, macvlan's rx_handler returns RX_HANDLER_PASS after delivering the frame to the macvlan interfaces, which caused it to be passed to the protocol stack, leading to ipv6 addresses for the announced prefix being configured even though those are completely unusable on the underlying interface. The fix moves marking as PACKET_OTHERHOST after the rx_handler so the rx_handler, if there is one, sees the frame unchanged, but afterwards, before the frame is delivered to the protocol stack, it gets marked whether there is an rx_handler or not.

net: Fix skb_under_panic oops in neigh_resolve_output

2012-10-28T17:14:15Z

[ Upstream commit e1f165032c8bade3a6bdf546f8faf61fda4dd01c ] The retry loop in neigh_resolve_output() and neigh_connected_output() call dev_hard_header() with out reseting the skb to network_header. This causes the retry to fail with skb_under_panic. The fix is to reset the network_header within the retry loop.

pktgen: fix crash when generating IPv6 packets

2012-10-21T16:27:59Z

commit 5aa8b572007c4bca1e6d3dd4c4820f1ae49d6bb2 upstream. For IPv6, sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) = 40, thus the following expression will result negative: datalen = pkt_dev->cur_pkt_size - 14 - sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) - sizeof(struct udphdr) - pkt_dev->pkt_overhead; And, the check "if (datalen < sizeof(struct pktgen_hdr))" will be passed as "datalen" is promoted to unsigned, therefore will cause a crash later. This is a quick fix by checking if "datalen" is negative. The following patch will increase the default value of 'min_pkt_size' for IPv6. This bug should exist for a long time, so Cc -stable too.

net: do not disable sg for packets requiring no checksum

2012-10-12T20:38:45Z

[ Upstream commit c0d680e577ff171e7b37dbdb1b1bf5451e851f04 ] A change in a series of VLAN-related changes appears to have inadvertently disabled the use of the scatter gather feature of network cards for transmission of non-IP ethernet protocols like ATA over Ethernet (AoE). Below is a reference to the commit that introduces a "harmonize_features" function that turns off scatter gather when the NIC does not support hardware checksumming for the ethernet protocol of an sk buff. commit f01a5236bd4b140198fbcc550f085e8361fd73fa Author: Jesse Gross Date: Sun Jan 9 06:23:31 2011 +0000 net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features(). The can_checksum_protocol function is not equipped to consider a protocol that does not require checksumming. Calling it for a protocol that requires no checksum is inappropriate. The patch below has harmonize_features call can_checksum_protocol when the protocol needs a checksum, so that the network layer is not forced to perform unnecessary skb linearization on the transmission of AoE packets. Unnecessary linearization results in decreased performance and increased memory pressure, as reported here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg15184.html The problem has probably not been widely experienced yet, because only recently has the kernel.org-distributed aoe driver acquired the ability to use payloads of over a page in size, with the patchset recently included in the mm tree: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/28/140 The coraid.com-distributed aoe driver already could use payloads of greater than a page in size, but its users generally do not use the newest kernels.

net: small bug on rxhash calculation

2012-10-12T20:38:44Z

[ Upstream commit 6862234238e84648c305526af2edd98badcad1e0 ] In the current rxhash calculation function, while the sorting of the ports/addrs is coherent (you get the same rxhash for packets sharing the same 4-tuple, in both directions), ports and addrs are sorted independently. This implies packets from a connection between the same addresses but crossed ports hash to the same rxhash. For example, traffic between A=S:l and B=L:s is hashed (in both directions) from {L, S, {s, l}}. The same rxhash is obtained for packets between C=S:s and D=L:l. This patch ensures that you either swap both addrs and ports, or you swap none. Traffic between A and B, and traffic between C and D, get their rxhash from different sources ({L, S, {l, s}} for A<->B, and {L, S, {s, l}} for C<->D) The patch is co-written with Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Chema Gonzalez Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
