In 2009 Philip Reiser notied that a few users of netlink connector interface needed a capability check and added the idiom cap_raised(nsp->eff_cap, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to a few of them, on the premise that netlink was asynchronous. In 2011 Patrick McHardy noticed we were being silly because netlink is synchronous and removed eff_cap from the netlink_skb_params and changed the idiom to cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN). Looking at those spots with a fresh eye we should be calling capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN). The only reason I can see for not calling capable is that it once appeared we were not in the same task as the caller which would have made calling capable() impossible. In the initial user_namespace the only difference between between cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) and capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) are a few sanity checks and the fact that capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) sets PF_SUPERPRIV if we use the capability. Since we are going to be using root privilege setting PF_SUPERPRIV seems the right thing to do. The motivation for this that patch is that in a child user namespace cap_raised(current_cap(),...) tests your capabilities with respect to that child user namespace not capabilities in the initial user namespace and thus will allow processes that should be unprivielged to use the kernel services that are only protected with cap_raised(current_cap(),..). To fix possible user_namespace issues and to just clean up the code replace cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) with capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN). Signed-off-by: Eric W.

It causes regressions for S390 devices, because it does an unconditional DST drop on SKBs for vlans and the QETH device needs the neighbour entry hung off the DST for certain things on transmit.

Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo authored
The NEQ interrupt is only triggered when there was no previous pending interrupt. If we request irq handling after an interrupt has occurred, we will never get an interrupt until we call H_RESET_EVENTS. Events seem to be cleared when we first register the NEQ. So, when we requested irq handling right after registering it, a possible race with an interrupt was much less likely. Now, there is a chance we may lose this race and never get any events. The fix here is to poll and acknowledge any events that might have happened right after registering the irq handler.

The r8169 may get stuck or show bad behaviour after activating TSO : the net_device is not stopped when it has no more TX descriptors. This problem comes from TX_BUFS_AVAIL which may reach -1 when all transmit descriptors are in use. The patch simply tries to keep positive values. Tested with 8111d(onboard) on a D510MO, and with 8111e(onboard) on a Zotac 890GXITX.

Ben Hutchings authored
If RSS is disabled on the PF (efx->n_rx_channels == 1) we try to set up the indirection table so that VFs can use it, setting efx->rss_spread = efx_vf_size(efx). But if SR-IOV was disabled at compile time, this evaluates to 0 and we end up dividing by zero when initialising the table. I considered changing the fallback definition of efx_vf_size() to return 1, but its value is really meaningless if we are not going to enable VFs. Therefore add a condition of efx_sriov_wanted(efx) in efx_probe_interrupts(). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

Neither compare_ether_addr() nor compare_ether_addr_64bits() (as it can fall back to the former) have comparison semantics like memcmp() where the sign of the return value indicates sort order. We had a bug in the wireless code due to a blind memcmp replacement because of this. A cursory look suggests that the wireless bug was the only one due to this semantic difference.

Some RNDIS devices include a bogus CDC Union descriptor pointing to non-existing interfaces. The RNDIS code is already prepared to handle devices without a CDC Union descriptor by hardwiring the driver to use interfaces 0 and 1, which is correct for the devices with the bogus descriptor as well. So we can reuse the existing workaround.

Ariel Elior authored
This is a bug fix for an "interface fails to load" issue. The issue occurs when bnx2x driver loads after UNDI driver was previously loaded over the chip. In such a scenario the UNDI driver is loaded and operates in the pre-boot kernel, within its own specific host memory address range. When the pre-boot stage is complete, the real kernel is loaded, in a new and distinct host memory address range. The transition from pre-boot stage to boot is asynchronous from UNDI point of view. A race condition occurs when UNDI driver triggers a DMAE transaction to valid host addresses in the pre-boot stage, when control is diverted to the real kernel. This results in access to illegal addresses by our HW as the addresses which were valid in the preboot stage are no longer considered valid. Specifically, the 'was_error' bit in the pci glue of our device is set. This causes all following pci transactions from chip to host to timeout (in accordance to the pci spec).

igb and ixgbe incorrectly call netdev_tx_reset_queue() from i{gb|xgbe}_clean_tx_ring() this sort of works in most cases except when the number of real tx queues changes. When the number of real tx queues changes netdev_tx_reset_queue() only gets called on the new number of queues so when we reduce the number of queues we risk triggering the watchdog timer and repeated device resets. So this is not only a cosmetic issue but causes real bugs. For example enabling/disabling DCB or FCoE in ixgbe will trigger this.

By default, iwlwifi uses order-1 pages (8 KB) to store incoming frames, but doesnt say so in skb->truesize. This makes very possible to exhaust kernel memory since these skb evade normal socket memory accounting. As struct ieee80211_hdr is going to be pulled before calling IP stack, there is no need to use dev_alloc_skb() to reserve NET_SKB_PAD bytes. alloc_skb() is ok in this driver, allowing more tailroom. Pull beginning of frame in skb header, in the hope we can reuse order-1 pages in the driver immediately for small frames and reduce their truesize to the minimum (linear skbs) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Cc: "John W.

After this commit: commit aacc1bea Author: Multanen, Eric W <eric.w.multanen@intel.com> Date: Wed Mar 28 07:49:09 2012 +0000 ixgbe: driver fix for link flap The BIT_APP_UPCHG bit is no longer set when ixgbe_dcbnl_set_all() is called. This results in the FCoE app user priority never getting set and the driver will not configure the tx_rings correctly for FCoE packets which use the SAN MTU and FCoE offloads. We resolve this regression by fixing ixgbe_copy_dcb_cfg() to also check for FCoE application changes. Additionally, we can drop the IEEE variants of get_dcb_app() because this path is never called with the IEEE mode enabled.

tcp_adv_win_scale default value is 2, meaning we expect a good citizen skb to have skb->len / skb->truesize ratio of 75% (3/4) In 2.6 kernels we (mis)accounted for typical MSS=1460 frame : 1536 + 64 + 256 = 1856 'estimated truesize', and 1856 * 3/4 = 1392. So these skbs were considered as not bloated. With recent truesize fixes, a typical MSS=1460 frame truesize is now the more precise : 2048 + 256 = 2304. But 2304 * 3/4 = 1728. So these skb are not good citizen anymore, because 1460 < 1728 (GRO can escape this problem because it build skbs with a too low truesize.) This also means tcp advertises a too optimistic window for a given allocated rcvspace : When receiving frames, sk_rmem_alloc can hit sk_rcvbuf limit and we call tcp_prune_queue()/tcp_collapse() too often, especially when application is slow to drain its receive queue or in case of losses (netperf is fast, scp is slow). This is a major latency source. We should adjust the len/truesize ratio to 50% instead of 75% This patch : 1) changes tcp_adv_win_scale default to 1 instead of 2 2) increase tcp_rmem[2] limit from 4MB to 6MB to take into account better truesize tracking and to allow autotuning tcp receive window to reach same value than before. Note that same amount of kernel memory is consumed compared to 2.6 kernels.
