Special care should be taken when slow path is hit in ip_fragment() : When walking through frags, we transfert truesize ownership from skb to frags. Then if we hit a slow_path condition, we must undo this or risk uncharging frags->truesize twice, and in the end, having negative socket sk_wmem_alloc counter, or even freeing socket sooner than expected. Many thanks to Nick Bowler, who provided a very clean bug report and test program. Thanks to Jarek for reviewing my first patch and providing a V2 While Nick bisection pointed to commit 2b85a34e (net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx), underlying bug is older (2.6.12-rc5) A side effect is to extend work done in commit b2722b1c (ip_fragment: also adjust skb->truesize for packets not owned by a socket) to ipv6 as well.

If a RST comes in immediately after checking sk->sk_err, tcp_poll will return POLLIN but not POLLOUT. Fix this by checking sk->sk_err at the end of tcp_poll.

The family parameter xfrm_state_find is used to find a state matching a certain policy. This value is set to the template's family (encap_family) right before xfrm_state_find is called. The family parameter is however also used to construct a temporary state in xfrm_state_find itself which is wrong for inter-family scenarios because it produces a selector for the wrong family. Since this selector is included in the xfrm_user_acquire structure, user space programs misinterpret IPv6 addresses as IPv4 and vice versa. This patch splits up the original init_tempsel function into a part that initializes the selector respectively the props and id of the temporary state, to allow for differing ip address families whithin the state.

When a driver doesn't fill the entire buffer, old heap contents may remain, and if it also doesn't update the length properly, this old heap content will be copied back to userspace. It is very unlikely that this happens in any of the drivers using private ioctls since it would show up as junk being reported by iwpriv, but it seems better to be safe here, so use kzalloc.

qlcnic driver allocates rx skbs and gives to hardware too bytes of extra storage, allowing for corruption of kernel data. NET_IP_ALIGN being 0 on some platforms (including x86), drivers should not assume it's 2. rds_ring->skb_size = rds_ring->dma_size + NET_IP_ALIGN; ... skb = dev_alloc_skb(rds_ring->skb_size); skb_reserve(skb, 2); pci_map_single(pdev, skb->data, rds_ring->dma_size, PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE); (and rds_ring->skb_size == rds_ring->dma_size) -> bug Because of extra alignment (1500 + 32) -> four extra bytes are available before the struct skb_shared_info, so corruption is not noticed.

When uCode error condition detected, driver try to perform either rf reset or firmware reload in order bring device back to working condition. If rf reset is required and scan is in process, there is no need to issue rf reset since scan already reset the rf. If firmware reload is required and scan is in process, skip the reload request. There is a possibility firmware reload during scan cause problem.

The Thinkpad X100e seems to have some odd behaviour when the display is powered off - the onboard r8169 starts generating rxfifo overflow errors. The root cause of this has not yet been identified and may well be a hardware design bug on the platform, but r8169 should be more resiliant to this. This patch enables the rxfifo interrupt on 8168 devices and removes the MAC version check in the interrupt handler, and the machine no longer crashes when under network load while the screen turns off.

If peer uses tiny MSS (say, 75 bytes) and similarly tiny advertised window, the SWS logic will packetize to half the MSS unnecessarily. This causes problems with some embedded devices. However for large MSS devices we do want to half-MSS packetize otherwise we never get enough packets into the pipe for things like fast retransmit and recovery to work. Be careful also to handle the case where MSS > window, otherwise we'll never send until the probe timer. Reported-by: ツ Leandro Melo de Sales <leandroal@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

netdev_wait_allrefs() waits that all references to a device vanishes. It currently uses a _very_ pessimistic 250 ms delay between each probe. Some users reported that no more than 4 devices can be dismantled per second, this is a pretty serious problem for some setups. Most of the time, a refcount is about to be released by an RCU callback, that is still in flight because rollback_registered_many() uses a synchronize_rcu() call instead of rcu_barrier().

It was recently brought to my attention that 802.3ad mode bonds would no longer form when using some network hardware after a driver update. After snooping around I realized that the particular hardware was using page-based skbs and found that skb->data did not contain a valid LACPDU as it was not stored there. That explained the inability to form an 802.3ad-based bond. For balance-alb mode bonds this was also an issue as ARPs would not be properly processed. This patch fixes the issue in my tests and should be applied to 2.6.36 and as far back as anyone cares to add it to stable.

In mergeable buffer case, we use headcount, log_num and seg as indexes in same-size arrays, and we know that headcount <= seg and log_num equals either 0 or seg. Therefore, the right thing to do is range-check seg, not headcount as we do now: these will be different if guest chains s/g descriptors (this does not happen now, but we can not trust the guest). Long term, we should add BUG_ON checks to verify two other indexes are what we think they should be. Reported-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

After all these years, it turns out that the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/force_igmp_version parameter isn't fully implemented. *Symptom*: When set force_igmp_version to a value of 2, the kernel should only perform multicast IGMPv2 operations (IETF rfc2236). An host-initiated Join message will be sent as a IGMPv2 Join message. But if a IGMPv3 query message is received, the host responds with a IGMPv3 join message. Per rfc3376 and rfc2236, a IGMPv2 host should treat a IGMPv3 query as a IGMPv2 query and respond with an IGMPv2 Join message. *Consequences*: This is an issue when a IGMPv3 capable switch is the querier and will only issue IGMPv3 queries (which double as IGMPv2 querys) and there's an intermediate switch that is only IGMPv2 capable. The intermediate switch processes the initial v2 Join, but fails to recognize the IGMPv3 Join responses to the Query, resulting in a dropped connection when the intermediate v2-only switch times it out. *Identifying issue in the kernel source*: The issue is in this section of code (in net/ipv4/igmp.c), which is called when an IGMP query is received (from mainline 2.6.36-rc3 gitweb): ... A IGMPv3 query has a length >= 12 and no sources. This routine will exit after line 880, setting the general query timer (random timeout between 0 and query response time). This calls igmp_gq_timer_expire(): ... .. which only sends a v3 response. So if a v3 query is received, the kernel always sends a v3 response. IGMP queries happen once every 60 sec (per vlan), so the traffic is low. A IGMPv3 query *is* a strict superset of a IGMPv2 query, so this patch properly short circuit's the v3 behaviour. One issue is that this does not address force_igmp_version=1. Then again, I've never seen any IGMPv1 multicast equipment in the wild. However there is a lot of v2-only equipment. If it's necessary to support the IGMPv1 case as well: 837 if (len == 8 || IGMP_V2_SEEN(in_dev) || IGMP_V1_SEEN(in_dev)) { Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The 'wwan' devtype is meant for devices that require preconfiguration and *every* time setup before the ethernet interface can be used, like cellular modems which require a series of setup commands on serial ports or other mechanisms before the ethernet interface will handle packets. As ipheth only requires one-per-hotplug pairing setup with no preconfiguration (like APN, phone #, etc) and the network interface is usable at any time after that initial setup, remove the incorrect devtype wwan.
