[ Upstream commit c0d680e5 ] A change in a series of VLAN-related changes appears to have inadvertently disabled the use of the scatter gather feature of network cards for transmission of non-IP ethernet protocols like ATA over Ethernet (AoE). Below is a reference to the commit that introduces a "harmonize_features" function that turns off scatter gather when the NIC does not support hardware checksumming for the ethernet protocol of an sk buff. commit f01a5236 Author: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Date: Sun Jan 9 06:23:31 2011 +0000 net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features(). The can_checksum_protocol function is not equipped to consider a protocol that does not require checksumming. Calling it for a protocol that requires no checksum is inappropriate. The patch below has harmonize_features call can_checksum_protocol when the protocol needs a checksum, so that the network layer is not forced to perform unnecessary skb linearization on the transmission of AoE packets. Unnecessary linearization results in decreased performance and increased memory pressure, as reported here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg15184.html The problem has probably not been widely experienced yet, because only recently has the kernel.org-distributed aoe driver acquired the ability to use payloads of over a page in size, with the patchset recently included in the mm tree: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/28/140 The coraid.com-distributed aoe driver already could use payloads of greater than a page in size, but its users generally do not use the newest kernels.

[ Upstream commit 68622342 ] In the current rxhash calculation function, while the sorting of the ports/addrs is coherent (you get the same rxhash for packets sharing the same 4-tuple, in both directions), ports and addrs are sorted independently. This implies packets from a connection between the same addresses but crossed ports hash to the same rxhash. For example, traffic between A=S:l and B=L:s is hashed (in both directions) from {L, S, {s, l}}. The same rxhash is obtained for packets between C=S:s and D=L:l. This patch ensures that you either swap both addrs and ports, or you swap none. Traffic between A and B, and traffic between C and D, get their rxhash from different sources ({L, S, {l, s}} for A<->B, and {L, S, {s, l}} for C<->D) The patch is co-written with Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 4c3a5bda ] SCTP charges wmem_alloc via sctp_set_owner_w() in sctp_sendmsg() and via skb_set_owner_w() in sctp_packet_transmit(). If a sender runs out of sndbuf it will sleep in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf() and expects to be waken up by __sctp_write_space(). Buffer space charged via sctp_set_owner_w() is released in sctp_wfree() which calls __sctp_write_space() directly. Buffer space charged via skb_set_owner_w() is released via sock_wfree() which calls sk->sk_write_space() _if_ SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE is not set. sctp_endpoint_init() sets SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE on all sockets. Therefore if sctp_packet_transmit() manages to queue up more than sndbuf bytes, sctp_wait_for_sndbuf() will never be woken up again unless it is interrupted by a signal. This could be fixed by clearing the SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE flag but ... Charging for the data twice does not make sense in the first place, it leads to overcharging sndbuf by a factor 2. Therefore this patch only charges a single byte in wmem_alloc when transmitting an SCTP packet to ensure that the socket stays alive until the packet has been released. This means that control chunks are no longer accounted for in wmem_alloc which I believe is not a problem as skb->truesize will typically lead to overcharging anyway and thus compensates for any control overhead.

[ Upstream commit 15c04175 ] If recv() syscall is called for a TCP socket so that - IOAT DMA is used - MSG_WAITALL flag is used - requested length is bigger than sk_rcvbuf - enough data has already arrived to bring rcv_wnd to zero then when tcp_recvmsg() gets to calling sk_wait_data(), receive window can be still zero while sk_async_wait_queue exhausts enough space to keep it zero. As this queue isn't cleaned until the tcp_service_net_dma() call, sk_wait_data() cannot receive any data and blocks forever. If zero receive window and non-empty sk_async_wait_queue is detected before calling sk_wait_data(), process the queue first. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 71261956 ] If the old timestamps of a class, say cl, are stale when the class becomes active, then QFQ may assign to cl a much higher start time than the maximum value allowed. This may happen when QFQ assigns to the start time of cl the finish time of a group whose classes are characterized by a higher value of the ratio max_class_pkt/weight_of_the_class with respect to that of cl. Inserting a class with a too high start time into the bucket list corrupts the data structure and may eventually lead to crashes. This patch limits the maximum start time assigned to a class.

[ Upstream commit ecd79187 ] The current code fails to ensure that the netlink message actually contains as many bytes as the header indicates. If a user creates a new state or updates an existing one but does not supply the bytes for the whole ESN replay window, the kernel copies random heap bytes into the replay bitmap, the ones happen to follow the XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL netlink attribute. This leads to following issues: 1. The replay window has random bits set confusing the replay handling code later on. 2. A malicious user could use this flaw to leak up to ~3.5kB of heap memory when she has access to the XFRM netlink interface (requires CAP_NET_ADMIN). Known users of the ESN replay window are strongSwan and Steffen's iproute2 patch (<http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/85962/>). The latter uses the interface with a bitmap supplied while the former does not. strongSwan is therefore prone to run into issue 1. To fix both issues without breaking existing userland allow using the XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL netlink attribute with either an empty bitmap or a fully specified one. For the former case we initialize the in-kernel bitmap with zero, for the latter we copy the user supplied bitmap. For state updates the full bitmap must be supplied. To prevent overflows in the bitmap length calculation the maximum size of bmp_len is limited to 128 by this patch -- resulting in a maximum replay window of 4096 packets. This should be sufficient for all real life scenarios (RFC 4303 recommends a default replay window size of 64). Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 3b59df46 ] ESN for esp is defined in RFC 4303. This RFC assumes that the sequence number counters are always up to date. However, this is not true if an async crypto algorithm is employed. If the sequence number counters are not up to date on sequence number check, we may incorrectly update the upper 32 bit of the sequence number. This leads to a DOS. We workaround this by comparing the upper sequence number, (used for authentication) with the upper sequence number computed after the async processing. We drop the packet if these numbers are different. To do this, we introduce a recheck function that does this check in the ESN case. Signed-off-by:

commit 959d1af8 upstream. WORK_STRUCT_PENDING is used to claim ownership of a work item and process_one_work() releases it before starting execution. When someone else grabs PENDING, all pre-release updates to the work item should be visible and all updates made by the new owner should happen afterwards. Grabbing PENDING uses test_and_set_bit() and thus has a full barrier; however, clearing doesn't have a matching wmb. Given the preceding spin_unlock and use of clear_bit, I don't believe this can be a problem on an actual machine and there hasn't been any related report but it still is theretically possible for clear_pending to permeate upwards and happen before work->entry update. Add an explicit smp_wmb() before work_clear_pending(). Signed-off-by:

commit 0f6d93aa upstream.

The intended behavior can be achieved by using mdelay to call udelay multiple times in a loop. [jrnieder@gmail.com: adding context] Signed-off-by:

commit f96972f2 upstream. As kernel_power_off() calls disable_nonboot_cpus(), we may also want to have kernel_restart() call disable_nonboot_cpus(). Doing so can help machines that require boot cpu be the last alive cpu during reboot to survive with kernel restart. This fixes one reboot issue seen on imx6q (Cortex-A9 Quad). The machine requires that the restart routine be run on the primary cpu rather than secondary ones. Otherwise, the secondary core running the restart routine will fail to come to online after reboot.

The compressed binaries do not contain the uncompressed image size, so these use size_append to append the size. This results in backslashes in the executed command. With this if_changed always detects a change in the command and rebuilds the compressed image even if nothing has changed. Fix this by escaping backslashes in make-cmd Signed-off-by:
