      net: ipv6: fib: don't sleep inside atomic lock · 3f719b11
      Benjamin Block authored
      [ Upstream commit 793c3b40 ]
      
      The function fib6_commit_metrics() allocates a piece of memory in mode
      GFP_KERNEL while holding an atomic lock from higher up in the stack, in
      the function __ip6_ins_rt(). This produces the following BUG:

      bnx2x: Revert UNDI flushing mechanism · 39f5b1eb
      Yuval Mintz authored
      [ Upstream commit 7c3afd85 ]
      
      Commit 91ebb929 ("bnx2x: Add support for Multi-Function UNDI") [which was
      later supposedly fixed by de682941 ("bnx2x: Fix UNDI driver unload")]
      introduced a bug in which in some [yet-to-be-determined] scenarios the
      alternative flushing mechanism which was to guarantee the Rx buffers are
      empty before resetting them during device probe will fail.
      If this happens, when device will be loaded once more a fatal attention will
      occur; Since this most likely happens in boot from SAN scenarios, the machine
      will fail to load.
      
      Notice this may occur not only in the 'Multi-Function' scenario but in the
      regular scenario as well, i.e., this introduced a regression in the driver's
      ability to perform boot from SAN.
      
      The patch reverts the mechanism and applies the old scheme to multi-function
      devices as well as to single-function devices.

      packet: handle too big packets for PACKET_V3 · 29c75569
      Eric Dumazet authored
      [ Upstream commit dc808110 ]
      
      af_packet can currently overwrite kernel memory by out of bound
      accesses, because it assumed a [new] block can always hold one frame.
      
      This is not generally the case, even if most existing tools do it right.
      
      This patch clamps too long frames as API permits, and issue a one time
      error on syslog.

      tipc: fix message importance range check · 8ef544dc
      Erik Hugne authored
      [ Upstream commit ac32c7f7 ]
      
      Commit 3b4f302d ("tipc: eliminate
      redundant locking") introduced a bug by removing the sanity check
      for message importance, allowing programs to assign any value to
      the msg_user field. This will mess up the packet reception logic
      and may cause random link resets.

      net: phy: smsc: move smsc_phy_config_init reset part in a soft_reset function · 4775bfac
      Gwenhael Goavec-Merou authored
      [ Upstream commit 21009686 ]
      
      On the one hand, phy_device.c provides a generic reset function if the phy
      driver does not provide a soft_reset pointer. This generic reset does not take
      into account the state of the phy, with a potential failure if the phy is in
      powerdown mode. On the other hand, smsc driver provides a function with both
      correct reset behaviour and configuration.
      
      This patch moves the reset part into a new smsc_phy_reset function and provides
      the soft_reset pointer to have a correct reset behaviour by default.

      tcp: fix ssthresh and undo for consecutive short FRTO episodes · 638228c5
      Neal Cardwell authored
      [ Upstream commit 0c9ab092 ]
      
      Fix TCP FRTO logic so that it always notices when snd_una advances,
      indicating that any RTO after that point will be a new and distinct
      loss episode.
      
      Previously there was a very specific sequence that could cause FRTO to
      fail to notice a new loss episode had started:
      
      (1) RTO timer fires, enter FRTO and retransmit packet 1 in write queue
      (2) receiver ACKs packet 1
      (3) FRTO sends 2 more packets
      (4) RTO timer fires again (should start a new loss episode)
      
      The problem was in step (3) above, where tcp_process_loss() returned
      early (in the spot marked "Step 2.b"), so that it never got to the
      logic to clear icsk_retransmits. Thus icsk_retransmits stayed
      non-zero. Thus in step (4) tcp_enter_loss() would see the non-zero
      icsk_retransmits, decide that this RTO is not a new episode, and
      decide not to cut ssthresh and remember the current cwnd and ssthresh
      for undo.
      
      There were two main consequences to the bug that we have
      observed. First, ssthresh was not decreased in step (4). Second, when
      there was a series of such FRTO (1-4) sequences that happened to be
      followed by an FRTO undo, we would restore the cwnd and ssthresh from
      before the entire series started (instead of the cwnd and ssthresh
      from before the most recent RTO). This could result in cwnd and
      ssthresh being restored to values much bigger than the proper values.

      Make sure we use the correct address-family-specific function for
      handling MTU reductions from within tcp_release_cb().
      
      Previously AF_INET6 sockets were incorrectly always using the IPv6

      sit: Fix ipip6_tunnel_lookup device matching criteria · e72790ed
      Shmulik Ladkani authored
      [ Upstream commit bc8fc7b8 ]
      
      As of 4fddbf5d ("sit: strictly restrict incoming traffic to tunnel link device"),
      when looking up a tunnel, tunnel's underlying interface (t->parms.link)
      is verified to match incoming traffic's ingress device.
      
      However the comparison was incorrectly based on skb->dev->iflink.
      
      Instead, dev->ifindex should be used, which correctly represents the
      interface from which the IP stack hands the ipip6 packets.
      
      This allows setting up sit tunnels bound to vlan interfaces (otherwise
      incoming ipip6 traffic on the vlan interface was dropped due to
      ipip6_tunnel_lookup match failure).

      tcp: don't use timestamp from repaired skb-s to calculate RTT (v2) · 48518112
      Andrey Vagin authored
      [ Upstream commit 9d186cac ]
      
      We don't know right timestamp for repaired skb-s. Wrong RTT estimations
      isn't good, because some congestion modules heavily depends on it.

      Thanks to Eric for the advice how to fix this issue.

      On IOMMU systems DMA mapping can fail, we need to check for

      net: Always untag vlan-tagged traffic on input. · 84beb1a9
      Vlad Yasevich authored
      [ Upstream commit 0d5501c1 ]
      
      Currently the functionality to untag traffic on input resides
      as part of the vlan module and is build only when VLAN support
      is enabled in the kernel.  When VLAN is disabled, the function
      vlan_untag() turns into a stub and doesn't really untag the
      packets.  This seems to create an interesting interaction
      between VMs supporting checksum offloading and some network drivers.
      
      There are some drivers that do not allow the user to change
      tx-vlan-offload feature of the driver.  These drivers also seem
      to assume that any VLAN-tagged traffic they transmit will
      have the vlan information in the vlan_tci and not in the vlan
      header already in the skb.  When transmitting skbs that already
      have tagged data with partial checksum set, the checksum doesn't
      appear to be updated correctly by the card thus resulting in a
      failure to establish TCP connections.
      
      The following is a packet trace taken on the receiver where a
      sender is a VM with a VLAN configued.  The host VM is running on
      doest not have VLAN support and the outging interface on the
      host is tg3:
      10:12:43.503055 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q
      (0x8100), length 78: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 27243,
      offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60)

      -> 0x48d9), seq 1069378582, win 29200, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val
      4294837885 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0
      10:12:44.505556 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q
      (0x8100), length 78: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 27244,
      offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60)
          10.0.100.1.58545 > 10.0.100.10.ircu-2: Flags [S], cksum 0xdc39 (incorrect
      -> 0x44ee), seq 1069378582, win 29200, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val
      4294838888 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0
      
      This connection finally times out.
      
      I've only access to the TG3 hardware in this configuration thus have
      only tested this with TG3 driver.  There are a lot of other drivers
      that do not permit user changes to vlan acceleration features, and
      I don't know if they all suffere from a similar issue.
      
      The patch attempt to fix this another way.  It moves the vlan header
      stipping code out of the vlan module and always builds it into the
      kernel network core.  This way, even if vlan is not supported on
      a virtualizatoin host, the virtual machines running on top of such
      host will still work with VLANs enabled.

      rtnetlink: fix VF info size · 53f8c7d2
      Jiri Benc authored
      [ Upstream commit 945a3676 ]
      
      Commit 1d8faf48 ("net/core: Add VF link state control") added new
      attribute to IFLA_VF_INFO group in rtnl_fill_ifinfo but did not adjust size
      of the allocated memory in if_nlmsg_size/rtnl_vfinfo_size. As the result, we
      may trigger warnings in rtnl_getlink and similar functions when many VF
      links are enabled, as the information does not fit into the allocated skb.

      netlink: reset network header before passing to taps · 47a0ff6c
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      [ Upstream commit 4e48ed88 ]
      
      netlink doesn't set any network header offset thus when the skb is
      being passed to tap devices via dev_queue_xmit_nit(), it emits klog
      false positives due to it being unset like:
      
        ...
        [  124.990397] protocol 0000 is buggy, dev nlmon0
        [  124.990411] protocol 0000 is buggy, dev nlmon0
        ...
      
      So just reset the network header before passing to the device; for
      packet sockets that just means nothing will change - mac and net
      offset hold the same value just as before.
