While ifconfig eth0 up kernel calls open() of 8139 driver(8139too.c). In rtl8139_hw_start() of rtl8139_open(), 8139 driver enable RX before setting up the DMA buffer address. In this interval where RX was enabled and DMA buffer address is not yet set up, any incoming broadcast packet would be send to a strange physical address: 0x003e8800 which is the default value of DMA buffer address. Unfortunately, this address is used by Linux kernel. So kernel panics. This patch fix it by setting up DMA buffer address before RX enabled and everything is fine even under broadcast packets attack.

AF_IUCV runs into a race when queuing incoming iucv messages and receiving the resulting backlog. If the Linux system is under pressure (high load or steal time), the message queue grows up, but messages are not received and queued onto the backlog queue. In that case, applications do not receive any data with recvmsg() even if AF_IUCV puts incoming messages onto the message queue. The race can be avoided if the message queue spinlock in the message_pending callback is spreaded across the entire callback function. Signed-off-by:

If iucv_sock_recvmsg() is called with MSG_PEEK flag set, the skb is enqueued twice. If the socket is then closed, the pointer to the skb is freed twice. Remove the skb_queue_head() call for MSG_PEEK, because the skb_recv_datagram() function already handles MSG_PEEK (does not dequeue the skb). Signed-off-by:

A few issues wrt DMA were uncovered when using the driver with swiotlb. - driver should not use memory after it has been mapped - iwl3945's RX queue management cannot use all of iwlagn because the size of the RX buffer is different. Revert back to using iwl3945 specific routines that map/unmap memory. - no need to "dma_syn_single_range_for_cpu" followed by pci_unmap_single, we can just call pci_unmap_single initially - only map the memory area that will be used by device. this is especially relevant to the mapping of iwl_cmd. we should not map the entire structure because the meta data at the beginning of structure contains the address to be used later for unmapping. If the address to be used for unmapping is stored in mapped data it creates a problem. - ensure that _if_ memory needs to be modified after it is mapped that we call _sync_single_for_cpu first, and then release it back to device with _sync_single_for_device - we mapped the wrong length of data for host commands, with mapped length differing with length provided to device, fix that.

When debugging TX issues it is helpful to know the seq nr of the frame being transmitted. The seq nr is printed as part of ucode's log informing us which frame is being processed. Having this information printed in driver log makes it easy to match activities between driver and firmware. Also make possible to print TX flags directly. These are already printed as part of entire TX command, but having it printed directly in cpu format makes it easier to look at. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a build warning in mwl8.c. (Marvell TOPDOG wireless driver) The warning it fixes is: "large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type." The rx_ctrl member of the mwl8k_rx_desc struct is 8 bit (__u8 ), whereas trying to assign it a 32 bit value (which is returned from cpu_to_le32()) causes the compiler to issue a truncation warning.

It is expected that config interface will always succeed as mac80211 will only request what driver supports. The exception here is when a device has rfkill enabled. At this time the rfkill state is unknown to mac80211 and config interface can fail. When this happens we deal with this error instead of printing a WARN. Signed-off-by:

The recent NVRAM patches sanitized how the driver deals with NVRAM data, but they failed to bring the SEEPROM interfaces inline with the new strategy.

Currently beacon loss detection triggers after a scan. A probe request is sent and a message like this is printed to the log: wlan0: beacon loss from AP 00:12:17:e7:98:de - sending probe request But in fact there is no beacon loss, the beacons are just not received because of the ongoing scan. Fix it by updating last_beacon after the scan has finished. Reported-by:

As the sk_sleep wait queue actually lives in tfile, which may be detached from the tun device, bad things will happen when we use sk_sleep after detaching. Since the tun device is the persistent data structure here (when requested by the user), it makes much more sense to have the wait queue live there. There is no reason to have it in tfile at all since the only time we can wait is if we have a tun attached. In fact we already have a wait queue in tun_struct, so we might as well use it.

The commit c70f1829 ("tun: Fix races between tun_net_close and free_netdev") fixed a race where an asynchronous deletion of a tun device can hose a poll(2) on a tun fd attached to that device. However, this came at the cost of moving the tun wait queue into the tun file data structure. The problem with this is that it imposes restrictions on when and where the tun device can access the wait queue since the tun file may change at any time due to detaching and reattaching. In particular, now that we need to use the wait queue on the receive path it becomes difficult to properly synchronise this with the detachment of the tun device. This patch solves the original race in a different way. Since the race is only because the underlying memory gets freed, we can prevent it simply by ensuring that we don't do that until all tun descriptors ever attached to the device (even if they have since be detached because they may still be sitting in poll) have been closed. This is done by using reference counting the attached tun file descriptors. The refcount in tun->sk has been reappropriated for this purpose since it was already being used for that, albeit from the opposite angle. Note that we no longer zero tfile->tun since tun_get will return NULL anyway after the refcount on tfile hits zero. Instead it represents whether this device has ever been attached to a device.

Alex Sidorenko reported: "while experimenting with 'netem' we have found some strange behaviour. It seemed that ingress delay as measured by 'ping' command shows up on some hosts but not on others. After some investigation I have found that the problem is that skbuff->tstamp field value depends on whether there are any packet sniffers enabled. That is: - if any ptype_all handler is registered, the tstamp field is as expected - if there are no ptype_all handlers, the tstamp field does not show the delay" This patch prevents unnecessary update of tstamp in dev_queue_xmit_nit() on ingress path (with act_mirred) adding a check, so minimal overhead on the fast path, but only when sniffers etc. are active. Since netem at ingress seems to logically emulate a network before a host, tstamp is zeroed to trigger the update and pretend delays are from the outside. Reported-by:
