      net: bcmgenet: set RBUF_SKIP_FCS based on UniMAC CRC forwarding · ebe5e3c6
      Florian Fainelli authored
      When the UniMAC block is configured to forward the CRC as part of the
      Ethernet frame (priv->crc_fwd_en, set by default), enabling the hardware
      RX checksum block unveiled that the dma_rxchk_bit was never set in the
      per-packet status bits (dma_flag in bcmgenet_desc_rx). This would make
      the chksum_ok variable to be never set to 1, and the networking stack
      would have to compute the packet checksums, which takes a substantial
      amount of time.
      
      In order for the RXCHK block to properly compute the packet checksum in
      hardware, we also need to set the RBUF_SKIP_FCS bit accordingly.

      ipv6: do not overwrite inetpeer metrics prematurely · e5fd387a
      Michal Kubeček authored
      If an IPv6 host route with metrics exists, an attempt to add a
      new route for the same target with different metrics fails but
      rewrites the metrics anyway:
      
      12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000
      12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show
      fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256
      fec0::1 dev eth0  metric 1024  rto_min lock 1s
      12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1500
      RTNETLINK answers: File exists
      12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show
      fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256
      fec0::1 dev eth0  metric 1024  rto_min lock 1.5s
      
      This is caused by all IPv6 host routes using the metrics in
      their inetpeer (or the shared default). This also holds for the
      new route created in ip6_route_add() which shares the metrics
      with the already existing route and thus ip6_route_add()
      rewrites the metrics even if the new route ends up not being
      used at all.
      
      Another problem is that old metrics in inetpeer can reappear
      unexpectedly for a new route, e.g.
      
      12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000
      12sp0:~ # ip route del fec0::1
      12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0
      12sp0:~ # ip route change fec0::1 dev eth0 hoplimit 10
      12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show
      fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256
      fec0::1 dev eth0  metric 1024  hoplimit 10 rto_min lock 1s
      
      Resolve the first problem by moving the setting of metrics down
      into fib6_add_rt2node() to the point we are sure we are
      inserting the new route into the tree. Second problem is
      addressed by introducing new flag DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE
      which is set for a new host route in ip6_route_add() and makes
      ipv6_cow_metrics() always overwrite the metrics in inetpeer
      (even if they are not "new"); it is reset after that.
      
      v5: use a flag in _metrics member rather than one in flags
      
      v4: fix a typo making a condition always true (thanks to Hannes
      Frederic Sowa)
      
      v3: rewritten based on David Miller's idea to move setting the
      metrics (and allocation in non-host case) down to the point we
      already know the route is to be inserted. Also rebased to
      net-next as it is quite late in the cycle.

      ====================
      tipc: clean up bearer and node layer
      
      This is another commit series which aims at facilitating future
      changes to the locking policy around nodes, links and bearers.
      
      Currently, the tipc routing hierarchy comprises the structures 'node',
      'link' and 'bearer'. The whole hierarchy is protected by a big
      read/write lock (tipc_net_lock), to ensure that nothing is added or
      removed while any of these structures is being accessed. Obviously
      the locking policy makes node, link and bearer components closely
      bound together so that their relationship becomes extremely complex.
      In the worst case, such locking policy not only has a negative
      influence on performance, but also it's prone to lead to deadlock
      occasionally.
      
      In order to decouple the complex relationship between bearer and node
      as well as link, the locking policy is adjusted as follows:
      
      - Bearer level
        RTNL lock is used on update side, and RCU is used on read side.
        Meanwhile, all bearer instances including broadcast bearer are
        saved into bearer_list array.
      
      - Node and link level
        All node instances are saved into two tipc_node_list and node_htable
        lists. The two lists are protected by node_list_lock on write side,
        and they are guarded with RCU lock on read side. All members in node
        structure including link instances are protected by node spin lock.
      
      - The relationship between bearer and node
        When link accesses bearer, it first needs to find the bearer with
        its bearer identity from the bearer_list array. When bearer accesses
        node, it can iterate the node_htable hash list with the node address
        to find the corresponding node.
      
      In the new locking policy, every component has its private locking
      solution and the relationship between bearer and node is very simple,
      that is, they can find each other with node address or bearer identity
      from node_htable hash list or bearer_list array.
      
      But, prior to these changes, we need to do some necessary cleanup and
      code consolidation. This is what we do with this commit series. In a
      later series we will replace net_lock with RTNL as well as RCU lock
      to deploy the new locking policy.

      tipc: use node list lock to protect tipc_num_links variable · dde20266
      Ying Xue authored
      Without properly implicit or explicit read memory barrier, it's
      unsafe to read an atomic variable with atomic_read() from another
      thread which is different with the thread of changing the atomic
      variable with atomic_inc() or atomic_dec(). So a stale tipc_num_links
      may be got with atomic_read() in tipc_node_get_links(). If the
      tipc_num_links variable type is converted from atomic to unsigned
      integer and node list lock is used to protect it, the issue would
      be avoided.

      tipc: rename node create lock to protect node list and hlist · 46651c59
      Ying Xue authored
      When a node is created, tipc_net_lock read lock is first held and
      then node_create_lock is grabbed in order to prevent the same node
      from being created and inserted into both node list and hlist twice.
      But when we query node from the two node lists, we only hold
      tipc_net_lock read lock without grabbing node_create_lock. Obviously
      this locking policy is unable to guarantee that the two node lists
      are always synchronized especially when the operation of changing
      and accessing them occurs in different contexts like currently doing.
      
      Therefore, rename node_create_lock to node_list_lock to protect the
      two node lists, that is, whenever node is inserted into them or node
      is queried from them, the node_list_lock should be always held. As a
      result, tipc_net_lock read lock becomes redundant and then can be
      removed from the node query functions.

      tipc: make broadcast bearer store in bearer_list array · 987b58be
      Ying Xue authored
      Now unicast bearer is dynamically allocated and placed into its
      identity specified slot of bearer_list array. When we search
      bearer_list array with a bearer identity, the corresponding bearer
      instance can be found. But broadcast bearer is statically allocated
      and it is not located in the bearer_list array yet. So we decide to
      enlarge bearer_list array into MAX_BEARERS + 1 slots, and its last
      slot stores the broadcast bearer so that the broadcast bearer can
      be found from bearer_list array with MAX_BEARERS as index. The
      change will help us reduce the complex relationship between bearer
      and link in the future.

      tipc: acquire necessary locks in named_cluster_distribute routine · 78dfb789
      Ying Xue authored
      The 'tipc_node_list' is guarded by tipc_net_lock and 'links' array
      defined in 'tipc_node' structure is protected by node lock as well.
      Without acquiring the two locks in named_cluster_distribute() a fatal
      oops may happen in case that a destroyed link might be got and then
      accessed. Therefore, above mentioned two locks must be held in
      named_cluster_distribute() to prevent the issue from happening
      accidentally.
      
      As 'links' array in node struct must be protected by node lock,
      we have to move the code of selecting an active link from
      tipc_link_xmit() to named_cluster_distribute() and then call
      __tipc_link_xmit() with the selected link to deliver name messages.

      Due to the lacking of any credential, it's allowed to accept commands
      requested from remote nodes to query the local node status, which is
      prone to involve potential security risks. Instead, if we login to
      a remote node with ssh command, this approach is not only more safe
      than the remote management feature, but also it can give us more
      permissions like changing the remote node configuration. So it's
      reasonable for us to obsolete the remote management feature now.

      net/core: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in netpoll.c · fcb144b5
      Monam Agarwal authored
      This patch replaces rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)
      
      The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure
      is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure.
      And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize.
      So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL)
