net: dcb: set error code on failures

2016-12-04T04:54:25Z

In function dcbnl_cee_fill(), returns the value of variable err on errors. However, on some error paths (e.g. nla put fails), its value may be 0. It may be better to explicitly set a negative errno to variable err before returning. Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188881 Signed-off-by: Pan Bian Signed-off-by: David S.

net/dcb: make dcbnl.c explicitly non-modular

2015-10-09T14:52:27Z

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is: net/dcb/Kconfig:config DCB net/dcb/Kconfig: bool "Data Center Bridging support" ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone. Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only. Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit. We can change to one of the other priority initcalls (subsys?) at any later date, if desired. We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information is (or is now) already contained at the top of the file in the comments. Cc: "David S.

net/dcb: Add IEEE QCN attribute

2015-03-07T02:50:02Z

As specified in 802.1Qau spec. Add this optional attribute to the DCB netlink layer. To allow for application to use the new attribute, NIC drivers should implement and register the callbacks ieee_getqcn, ieee_setqcn and ieee_getqcnstats. The QCN attribute holds a set of parameters for management, and a set of statistics to provide informative data on Congestion-Control defined by this spec.

dcbnl : Disable software interrupts before taking dcb_lock

2014-11-16T19:50:52Z

Solves possible lockup issues that can be seen from firmware DCB agents calling into the DCB app api. DCB firmware event queues can be tied in with NAPI so that dcb events are generated in softIRQ context. This can results in calls to dcb_*app() functions which try to take the dcb_lock. If the the event triggers while we also have the dcb_lock because lldpad or some other agent happened to be issuing a get/set command we could see a cpu lockup. This code was not originally written with firmware agents in mind, hence grabbing dcb_lock from softIRQ context was not considered. Signed-off-by: Anish Bhatt Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dcbnl : Fix misleading dcb_app->priority explanation

2014-07-31T00:21:05Z

Current explanation of dcb_app->priority is wrong. It says priority is expected to be a 3-bit unsigned integer which is only true when working with DCBx-IEEE. Use of dcb_app->priority by DCBx-CEE expects it to be 802.1p user priority bitmap. Updated accordingly This affects the cxgb4 driver, but I will post those changes as part of a larger changeset shortly.

net: Use netlink_ns_capable to verify the permisions of netlink messages

2014-04-24T17:44:54Z

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that privileged executable did not intend to do. To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls. Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well. Reported-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

dcb: use __dev_get_by_name instead of dev_get_by_name to find interface

2014-01-15T02:50:46Z

The following call chain indicates that dcb_doit() is protected under rtnl_lock. So if we use __dev_get_by_name() instead of dev_get_by_name() to find interface handlers in it, this would help us avoid to change interface reference counter. rtnetlink_rcv() rtnl_lock() netlink_rcv_skb() dcb_doit() rtnl_unlock() Cc: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: Ying Xue Signed-off-by: David S.

net/*: Fix FSF address in file headers

2013-12-06T17:37:57Z

Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation in the file header comment. Resolve by replacing the address with the URL so that we do not have to keep updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

rtnetlink: Remove passing of attributes into rtnl_doit functions

2013-03-22T14:31:16Z

With decnet converted, we can finally get rid of rta_buf and its computations around it. It also gets rid of the minimal header length verification since all message handlers do that explicitly anyway. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
