      net: mvneta: fix Tx interrupt delay · 67bcd9ed
      willy tarreau authored 
      [ Upstream commit aebea2ba ]

The mvneta driver sets the amount of Tx coalesce packets to 16 by
default. Normally that does not cause any trouble since the driver
uses a much larger Tx ring size (532 packets). But some sockets
might run with very small buffers, much smaller than the equivalent
of 16 packets. This is what ping is doing for example, by setting
SNDBUF to 324 bytes rounded up to 2kB by the kernel.

The problem is that there is no documented method to force a specific
packet to emit an interrupt (eg: the last of the ring) nor is it
possible to make the NIC emit an interrupt after a given delay.

In this case, it causes trouble, because when ping sends packets over
its raw socket, the few first packets leave the system, and the first
15 packets will be emitted without an IRQ being generated, so without
the skbs being freed. And since the socket's buffer is small, there's
no way to reach that amount of packets, and the ping ends up with
"send: no buffer available" after sending 6 packets. Running with 3
instances of ping in parallel is enough to hide the problem, because
with 6 packets per instance, that's 18 packets total, which is enough
to grant a Tx interrupt before all are sent.

The original driver in the LSP kernel worked around this design flaw
by using a software timer to clean up the Tx descriptors. This timer
was slow and caused terrible network performance on some Tx-bound
workloads (such as routing) but was enough to make tools like ping
work correctly.

Instead here, we simply set the packet counts before interrupt to 1.
This ensures that each packet sent will produce an interrupt. NAPI
takes care of coalescing interrupts since the interrupt is disabled
once generated.

No measurable performance impact nor CPU usage were observed on small
nor large packets, including when saturating the link on Tx, and this
fixes tools like ping which rely on too small a send buffer. If one
wants to increase this value for certain workloads where it is safe
to do so, "ethtool -C $dev tx-frames" will override this default
setting.

This fix needs to be applied to stable kernels starting with 3.10.

      rtnetlink: release net refcnt on error in do_setlink() · 48e9bbd6
      Nicolas Dichtel authored 
      [ Upstream commit e0ebde0e ]

rtnl_link_get_net() holds a reference on the 'struct net', we need to release
it in case of error.

      net/mlx4_core: Limit count field to 24 bits in qp_alloc_res · 53772173
      Jack Morgenstein authored 
      [ Upstream commit 2d5c57d7 ]

Some VF drivers use the upper byte of "param1" (the qp count field)
in mlx4_qp_reserve_range() to pass flags which are used to optimize
the range allocation.

Under the current code, if any of these flags are set, the 32-bit
count field yields a count greater than 2^24, which is out of range,
and this VF fails.

As these flags represent a "best-effort" allocation hint anyway, they may
safely be ignored. Therefore, the PF driver may simply mask out the bits.

      tg3: fix ring init when there are more TX than RX channels · f9a72cb1
      Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo authored 
      [ Upstream commit a620a6bc ]

If TX channels are set to 4 and RX channels are set to less than 4,
using ethtool -L, the driver will try to initialize more RX channels
than it has allocated, causing an oops.

This fix only initializes the RX ring if it has been allocated.

      Fix race condition between vxlan_sock_add and vxlan_sock_release · 6f1ff303
      Marcelo Leitner authored 
      [ Upstream commit 00c83b01 ]

Currently, when trying to reuse a socket, vxlan_sock_add will grab
vn->sock_lock, locate a reusable socket, inc refcount and release
vn->sock_lock.

But vxlan_sock_release() will first decrement refcount, and then grab
that lock. refcnt operations are atomic but as currently we have
deferred works which hold vs->refcnt each, this might happen, leading to
a use after free (specially after vxlan_igmp_leave):

  CPU 1                            CPU 2

deferred work                    vxlan_sock_add
  ...                              ...
                                   spin_lock(&vn->sock_lock)
                                   vs = vxlan_find_sock();
  vxlan_sock_release
    dec vs->refcnt, reaches 0
    spin_lock(&vn->sock_lock)
                                   vxlan_sock_hold(vs), refcnt=1
                                   spin_unlock(&vn->sock_lock)
    hlist_del_rcu(&vs->hlist);
    vxlan_notify_del_rx_port(vs)
    spin_unlock(&vn->sock_lock)

So when we look for a reusable socket, we check if it wasn't freed
already before reusing it.

      ip_tunnel: the lack of vti_link_ops' dellink() cause kernel panic · ce77432d
      lucien authored 
      [ Upstream commit 20ea60ca ]

Now the vti_link_ops do not point the .dellink, for fb tunnel device
(ip_vti0), the net_device will be removed as the default .dellink is
unregister_netdevice_queue,but the tunnel still in the tunnel list,
then if we add a new vti tunnel, in ip_tunnel_find():

        hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(t, head, hash_node) {
                if (local == t->parms.iph.saddr &&
                    remote == t->parms.iph.daddr &&
                    link == t->parms.link &&
==>                 type == t->dev->type &&
                    ip_tunnel_key_match(&t->parms, flags, key))
                        break;
        }

the panic will happen, cause dev of ip_tunnel *t is null:

modprobe ip_vti
ip link del ip_vti0 type vti
ip link add ip_vti0 type vti
rmmod ip_vti

do that one or more times, kernel will panic.

fix it by assigning ip_tunnel_dellink to vti_link_ops' dellink, in
which we skip the unregister of fb tunnel device. do the same on ip6_vti.
