netdev_open() will return without cleaning up net device or hardware state if firmware loading fails. This results in a BUG() on a second attempt to bring the interface up, reported in <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15091>, and probably has even worse effects if the driver is removed afterwards. Call netdev_close() to clean up on failure.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: Shan Wei <shanwei@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.

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).

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.

GC is non-existent in netns, so after you hit GC threshold, no new dst entries will be created until someone triggers cleanup in init_net. Make xfrm4_dst_ops and xfrm6_dst_ops per-netns. This is not done in a generic way, because it woule waste (AF_MAX - 2) * sizeof(struct dst_ops) bytes per-netns. Reorder GC threshold initialization so it'd be done before registering XFRM policies.

When testing the "e1000: enhance frame fragment detection" (and e1000e) patches we found some bugs with reducing the MTU size. The 1024 byte descriptor used with the 1000 mtu test also (re) introduced the (originally) reported bug, and causes us to need the e1000_clean_tx_irq "enhance frame fragment detection" fix. So what has occured here is that 2.6.32 is only vulnerable for mtu < 1500 due to the jumbo specific routines in both e1000 and e1000e. So, 2.6.32 needs the 2kB buffer len fix for those smaller MTUs, but is not vulnerable to the original issue reported. It has been pointed out that this vulnerability needs to be patched in older kernels that don't have the e1000 jumbo routine. Without the jumbo routines, we need the "enhance frame fragment detection" fix the e1000, old e1000e is only vulnerable for < 1500 mtu, and needs a similar fix. We split the patches up to provide easy backport paths. There is only a slight bit of extra code when this fix and the original "enhance frame fragment detection" fixes are applied, so please apply both, even though it is a bit of overkill.

Pages are posted to the rxq in such a way that more than one frag can share the page. The last frag that uses the page unmaps the page. In the case when a page is not fully used (due to lack of space in rxq) the last frag that uses the page is not being set as a "last_page_user"; instead, the next frag in the rxq is incorrectly being set.

In free_unmap_area_noflush(), va->flags is marked as VM_LAZY_FREE first, and then vmap_lazy_nr is increased atomically. But, in __purge_vmap_area_lazy(), while traversing of vmap_are_list, nr is counted by checking VM_LAZY_FREE is set to va->flags. After counting the variable nr, kernel reads vmap_lazy_nr atomically and checks a BUG_ON condition whether nr is greater than vmap_lazy_nr to prevent vmap_lazy_nr from being negative. The problem is that, if interrupted right after marking VM_LAZY_FREE, increment of vmap_lazy_nr can be delayed. Consequently, BUG_ON condition can be met because nr is counted more than vmap_lazy_nr. It is highly probable when vmalloc/vfree are called frequently. This scenario have been verified by adding delay between marking VM_LAZY_FREE and increasing vmap_lazy_nr in free_unmap_area_noflush(). Even the vmap_lazy_nr is for checking high watermark, it never be the strict watermark. Although the BUG_ON condition is to prevent vmap_lazy_nr from being negative, vmap_lazy_nr is signed variable. So, it could go down to negative value temporarily. Consequently, removing the BUG_ON condition is proper. A possible BUG_ON message is like the below. kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:517! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP EIP: 0060:[<c04824a4>] EFLAGS: 00010297 CPU: 3 EIP is at __purge_vmap_area_lazy+0x144/0x150 EAX: ee8a8818 EBX: c08e77d4 ECX: e7c7ae40 EDX: c08e77ec ESI: 000081fe EDI: e7c7ae60 EBP: e7c7ae64 ESP: e7c7ae3c DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0033 SS: 0068 Call Trace: [<c0482ad9>] free_unmap_vmap_area_noflush+0x69/0x70 [<c0482b02>] remove_vm_area+0x22/0x70 [<c0482c15>] __vunmap+0x45/0xe0 [<c04831ec>] vmalloc+0x2c/0x30 Code: 8d 59 e0 eb 04 66 90 89 cb 89 d0 e8 87 fe ff ff 8b 43 20 89 da 8d 48 e0 8d 43 20 3b 04 24 75 e7 fe 05 a8 a5 a3 c0 e9 78 ff ff ff <0f> 0b eb fe 90 8d b4 26 00 00 00 00 56 89 c6 b8 ac a5 a3 c0 31 EIP: [<c04824a4>] __purge_vmap_area_lazy+0x144/0x150 SS:ESP 0068:e7c7ae3c [ See also http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126335856228090&w=2 ] Signed-off-by: Yongseok Koh <yongseok.koh@samsung.com> Reviewed-by: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
