The Linux kernel has traditionally required that an UNLOCK+LOCK pair act as a full memory barrier when either (1) that UNLOCK+LOCK pair was executed by the same CPU or task, or (2) the same lock variable was used for the UNLOCK and LOCK. It now seems likely that very few places in the kernel rely on this full-memory-barrier semantic, and with the advent of queued locks, providing this semantic either requires complex reasoning, or for some architectures, added overhead. This commit therefore adds a smp_mb__after_unlock_lock(), which may be placed after a LOCK primitive to restore the full-memory-barrier semantic. All definitions are currently no-ops, but will be upgraded for some architectures when queued locks arrive. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

A strictly monotonically increasing sequence is normally used in numbered lists as they provide an intuitive ordering of the elements. However, in situations where race conditions can appear, this assumption breaks down and you can end up with unpredictable results, leading to a rather confusing list :-) This changes the numbered list 1,2,2,2 to the more intuitive 1,2,3,4.

kernel/locking/lockdep.c deals with validating locking scenarios for various architectures supported by the kernel. There isn't anything kernel specific going on in lockdep, and when we compare userspace to other architectures that don't have to deal with irqs such as s390, they become all too similar. We wrap kernel/locking/lockdep.c and include/linux/lockdep.h with several headers which allow us to build and use lockdep from userspace. We don't touch the kernel code itself which means that any work done on lockdep in the kernel will automatically benefit userspace lockdep as well!

Lockdep is an awesome piece of code which detects locking issues which are relevant both to userspace and kernelspace. We can easily make lockdep work in userspace since there is really no kernel spacific magic going on in the code. All we need is to wrap two functions which are used by lockdep and are very kernel specific. Doing that will allow tools located in tools/ to easily utilize lockdep's code for their own use.

Instead of saving the hardirq state on a per CPU variable, which require an explicit call before the softirq handling and some complication, just save and restore the hardirq tracing state through functions return values and parameters. It simplifies a bit the black magic that works around the fact that softirqs can be called from hardirqs while hardirqs can nest on softirqs but those two cases have very different semantics and only the latter case assume both states.

It appears that driver runs into a problem here if fibsize is too small because we allocate user_srbcmd with fibsize size only but later we access it until user_srbcmd->sg.count to copy it over to srbcmd. It is not correct to test (fibsize < sizeof(*user_srbcmd)) because this structure already includes one sg element and this is not needed for commands without data. So, we would recommend to add the following (instead of test for fibsize == 0).

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "Mostly these are fixes for fallout due to merge window changes, as well as cures for problems that have been with us for a much longer period of time" 1) Johannes Berg noticed two major deficiencies in our genetlink registration. Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant counts for their ops array rather than something like ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar. Also, some genetlink protocols were using fixed IDs for their multicast groups. We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by other protocols can not possibly conflict. In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state management for genetlink operations and multicast groups. 2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value is one the driver actually supports. From Ben Hutchings. 3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar. 4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb->protocol in the right order relative to skb_scrub_packet(). From Alexei Starovoitov. 5) Bridge erroneously fails to use the proper wrapper functions to make calls to netdev_ops->ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid. Fix from Toshiaki Makita. 6) When detaching a bridge port, make sure to flush all VLAN IDs to prevent them from leaking, also from Toshiaki Makita. 7) Put in a compromise for TCP Small Queues so that deep queued devices that delay TX reclaim non-trivially don't have such a performance decrease. One particularly problematic area is 802.11 AMPDU in wireless. From Eric Dumazet. 8) Fix crashes in tcp_fastopen_cache_get(), we can see NULL socket dsts here. Fix from Eric Dumzaet, reported by Dave Jones. 9) Fix use after free in ipv6 SIT driver, from Willem de Bruijn. 10) When computing mergeable buffer sizes, virtio-net fails to take the virtio-net header into account. From Michael Dalton. 11) Fix seqlock deadlock in ip4_datagram_connect() wrt. statistic bumping, this one has been with us for a while. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Fix NULL deref in the new TIPC fragmentation handling, from Erik Hugne. 13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka Rissanen. 14) macvlan has the same issue as normal vlans did wrt. propagating LRO disabling down to the real device, fix it the same way. From Michal Kubecek. 15) CPSW driver needs to soft reset all slaves during suspend, from Daniel Mack. 16) Fix small frame pacing in FQ packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet. 17) The xen-netfront RX buffer refill timer isn't properly scheduled on partial RX allocation success, from Ma JieYue. 18) When ipv6 ping protocol support was added, the AF_INET6 protocol initialization cleanup path on failure was borked a little. Fix from Vlad Yasevich. 19) If a socket disconnects during a read/recvmsg/recvfrom/etc that blocks we can do the wrong thing with the msg_name we write back to userspace. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. There is another fix in the works from Hannes which will prevent future problems of this nature. 20) Fix route leak in VTI tunnel transmit, from Fan Du. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (106 commits) genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse genetlink: pass family to functions using groups genetlink: add and use genl_set_err() genetlink: remove family pointer from genl_multicast_group genetlink: remove genl_unregister_mc_group() hsr: don't call genl_unregister_mc_group() quota/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIs drop_monitor/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIs genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops() tcp: don't update snd_nxt, when a socket is switched from repair mode atm: idt77252: fix dev refcnt leak xfrm: Release dst if this dst is improper for vti tunnel netlink: fix documentation typo in netlink_set_err() be2net: Delete secondary unicast MAC addresses during be_close be2net: Fix unconditional enabling of Rx interface options net, virtio_net: replace the magic value ping: prevent NULL pointer dereference on write to msg_name bnx2x: Prevent "timeout waiting for state X" bnx2x: prevent CFC attention bnx2x: Prevent panic during DMAE timeout ...

Johannes Berg says: ==================== genetlink: clean up multicast group APIs The generic netlink multicast group registration doesn't have to be dynamic, and can thus be simplified just like I did with the ops. This removes some complexity in registration code. Additionally, two users of generic netlink already use multicast groups in a wrong way, add workarounds for those two to keep the userspace API working, but at the same time make them not clash with other users of multicast groups as might happen now. While making it all a bit easier, also prevent such abuse by adding checks to the APIs so each family can only use the groups it owns. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.

As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops() a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the macro, this is a little safer. The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

snd_nxt must be updated synchronously with sk_send_head. Otherwise tp->packets_out may be updated incorrectly, what may bring a kernel panic. Here is a kernel panic from my host. [ 103.043194] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048 [ 103.044025] IP: [<ffffffff815aaaaf>] tcp_rearm_rto+0xcf/0x150 ... [ 146.301158] Call Trace: [ 146.301158] [<ffffffff815ab7f0>] tcp_ack+0xcc0/0x12c0 Before this panic a tcp socket was restored. This socket had sent and unsent data in the write queue. Sent data was restored in repair mode, then the socket was switched from reapair mode and unsent data was restored. After that the socket was switched back into repair mode. In that moment we had a socket where write queue looks like this: snd_una snd_nxt write_seq |_________|________| | sk_send_head After a second switching from repair mode the state of socket was changed: snd_una snd_nxt, write_seq |_________ ________| | sk_send_head This state is inconsistent, because snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized. Bellow you can find a call trace, how packets_out can be incremented twice for one skb, if snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized. In this case packets_out will be always positive, even when sk_write_queue is empty. tcp_write_wakeup skb = tcp_send_head(sk); tcp_fragment if (!before(tp->snd_nxt, TCP_SKB_CB(buff)->end_seq)) tcp_adjust_pcount(sk, skb, diff); tcp_event_new_data_sent tp->packets_out += tcp_skb_pcount(skb); I think update of snd_nxt isn't required, when a socket is switched from repair mode. Because it's initialized in tcp_connect_init. Then when a write queue is restored, snd_nxt is incremented in tcp_event_new_data_sent, so it's always is in consistent state. I have checked, that the bug is not reproduced with this patch and all tests about restoring tcp connections work fine.
