      netfilter: nf_conntrack: per netns nf_conntrack_cachep · 5b3501fa
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      nf_conntrack_cachep is currently shared by all netns instances, but
because of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU special semantics, this is wrong.

If we use a shared slab cache, one object can instantly flight between
one hash table (netns ONE) to another one (netns TWO), and concurrent
reader (doing a lookup in netns ONE, 'finding' an object of netns TWO)
can be fooled without notice, because no RCU grace period has to be
observed between object freeing and its reuse.

We dont have this problem with UDP/TCP slab caches because TCP/UDP
hashtables are global to the machine (and each object has a pointer to
its netns).

If we use per netns conntrack hash tables, we also *must* use per netns
conntrack slab caches, to guarantee an object can not escape from one
namespace to another one.

      netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix memory corruption with multiple namespaces · 9edd7ca0
      Patrick McHardy authored 
      As discovered by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the "untracked"
conntrack, which is located in the data section, might be accidentally
freed when a new namespace is instantiated while the untracked conntrack
is attached to a skb because the reference count it re-initialized.

The best fix would be to use a seperate untracked conntrack per
namespace since it includes a namespace pointer. Unfortunately this is
not possible without larger changes since the namespace is not easily
available everywhere we need it. For now move the untracked conntrack
initialization to the init_net setup function to make sure the reference
count is not re-initialized and handle cleanup in the init_net cleanup
function to make sure namespaces can exit properly while the untracked
conntrack is in use in other namespaces.

      mac80211: fix NULL pointer dereference when ftrace is enabled · 3092ad05
      Zhu Yi authored 
      I got below kernel oops when I try to bring down the network interface if
ftrace is enabled. The root cause is drv_ampdu_action() is passed with a
NULL ssn pointer in the BA session tear down case. We need to check and
avoid dereferencing it in trace entry assignment.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

      ipv6: conntrack: Add member of user to nf_ct_frag6_queue structure · c92b544b
      Shan Wei authored 
      The commit 0b5ccb2e(title:ipv6: reassembly: use seperate reassembly queues for
conntrack and local delivery) has broken the saddr&&daddr member of
nf_ct_frag6_queue when creating new queue.  And then hash value
generated by nf_hashfn() was not equal with that generated by fq_find().
So, a new received fragment can't be inserted to right queue.

The patch fixes the bug with adding member of user to nf_ct_frag6_queue structure.

      virtio_net: Make delayed refill more reliable · 39d32157
      Herbert Xu authored 
      I have seen RX stalls on a machine that experienced a suspected
OOM.  After the stall, the RX buffer is empty on the guest side
and there are exactly 16 entries available on the host side.  As
the number of entries is less than that required by a maximal
skb, the host cannot proceed.

The guest did not have a refill job scheduled.

My diagnosis is that an OOM had occured, with the delayed refill
job scheduled.  The job was able to allocate at least one skb, but
not enough to overcome the minimum required by the host to proceed.

As the refill job would only reschedule itself if it failed completely
to allocate any skbs, this would lead to an RX stall.

The following patch removes this stall possibility by always
rescheduling the refill job until the ring is totally refilled.

Testing has shown that the RX stall no longer occurs whereas
previously it would occur within a day.

      sfc: Use fixed-size buffers for MCDI NVRAM requests · 5a27e86b
      Ben Hutchings authored 
      The low-level MCDI code always uses 32-bit MMIO operations, and
callers must pad input and output buffers to multiples of 4 bytes.
The MCDI NVRAM functions are not doing this.  Also, their buffers are
declared as variable-length arrays with no explicit maximum length.

Switch to a fixed buffer size based on the chunk size used by the
MTD driver (which is a multiple of 4).

      sfc: Add workspace for GMAC bug workaround to MCDI MAC_STATS buffer · 8704a2c8
      Guido Barzini authored 
      Due to a hardware bug in the SFC9000 family, the firmware must
transfer raw GMAC statistics to host memory before aggregating them
into the cooked (speed-independent) MAC statistics.  Extend the stats
buffer to support this.

The length of the buffer is explicit in the MAC_STATS command, so this
change is backward-compatible on both sides.
