      rndis_wlan: correct multicast_list handling V3 · 12c3400a
      Jiri Pirko authored 
      My previous patch (655ffee2) added locking in
a bad way. Because rndis_set_oid can sleep, there is need to prepare multicast
addresses into local buffer under netif_addr_lock first, then call
rndis_set_oid outside. This caused reorganizing of the whole function.

since the latter can restart them.  So stop them after stopping napi.

      gianfar: Fix TX ring processing on SMP machines · 0eddba52
      Anton Vorontsov authored 
      Starting with commit a3bc1f11 ("gianfar: Revive SKB
recycling") gianfar driver sooner or later stops transmitting any
packets on SMP machines.

start_xmit() prepares new skb for transmitting, generally it does
three things:

1. sets up all BDs (marks them ready to send), except the first one.
2. stores skb into tx_queue->tx_skbuff so that clean_tx_ring()
   would cleanup it later.
3. sets up the first BD, i.e. marks it ready.

Here is what clean_tx_ring() does:

1. reads skbs from tx_queue->tx_skbuff
2. checks if the *last* BD is ready. If it's still ready [to send]
   then it it isn't transmitted, so clean_tx_ring() returns.
   Otherwise it actually cleanups BDs. All is OK.

Now, if there is just one BD, code flow:

- start_xmit(): stores skb into tx_skbuff. Note that the first BD
  (which is also the last one) isn't marked as ready, yet.
- clean_tx_ring(): sees that skb is not null, *and* its lstatus
  says that it is NOT ready (like if BD was sent), so it cleans
  it up (bad!)
- start_xmit(): marks BD as ready [to send], but it's too late.

We can fix this simply by reordering lstatus/tx_skbuff writes.

      r8169: use correct barrier between cacheable and non-cacheable memory · 4c020a96
      David Dillow authored 
      r8169 needs certain writes to be visible to other CPUs or the NIC before
touching the hardware, but was using smp_wmb() which is only required to
order cacheable memory access. Switch to wmb() which is required to
order both cacheable and non-cacheable memory.

      tipc: Fix oops on send prior to entering networked mode (v3) · d0021b25

      Fix TIPC to disallow sending to remote addresses prior to entering NET_MODE

user programs can oops the kernel by sending datagrams via AF_TIPC prior to
entering networked mode.  The following backtrace has been observed:

What happens is that, when the tipc module in inserted it enters a standalone
node mode in which communication to its own address is allowed <0.0.0> but not
to other addresses, since the appropriate data structures have not been
allocated yet (specifically the tipc_net pointer).  There is nothing stopping a
client from trying to send such a message however, and if that happens, we
attempt to dereference tipc_net.zones while the pointer is still NULL, and
explode.  The fix is pretty straightforward.  Since these oopses all arise from
the dereference of global pointers prior to their assignment to allocated
values, and since these allocations are small (about 2k total), lets convert
these pointers to static arrays of the appropriate size.  All the accesses to
these bits consider 0/NULL to be a non match when searching, so all the lookups
still work properly, and there is no longer a chance of a bad dererence
anywhere.  As a bonus, this lets us eliminate the setup/teardown routines for
those pointers, and elimnates the need to preform any locking around them to
prevent access while their being allocated/freed.

I've updated the tipc_net structure to behave this way to fix the exact reported
problem, and also fixed up the tipc_bearers and media_list arrays to fix an
obvious simmilar problem that arises from issuing tipc-config commands to
manipulate bearers/links prior to entering networked mode

I've tested this for a few hours by running the sanity tests and stress test
with the tipcutils suite, and nothing has fallen over.  There have been a few
lockdep warnings, but those were there before, and can be addressed later, as
they didn't actually result in any deadlock.

      gre: fix hard header destination address checking · 6d55cb91
      Timo Teräs authored 
      ipgre_header() can be called with zero daddr when the gre device is
configured as multipoint tunnel and still has the NOARP flag set (which is
typically cleared by the userspace arp daemon).  If the NOARP packets are
not dropped, ipgre_tunnel_xmit() will take rt->rt_gateway (= NBMA IP) and
use that for route look up (and may lead to bogus xfrm acquires).

The multicast address check is removed as sending to multicast group should
be ok.  In fact, if gre device has a multicast address as destination
ipgre_header is always called with multicast address.

      IPv6: fix race between cleanup and add/delete address · 8f37ada5
      stephen hemminger authored 
      This solves a potential race problem during the cleanup process.
The issue is that addrconf_ifdown() needs to traverse address list,
but then drop lock to call the notifier. The version in -next
could get confused if add/delete happened during this window.
Original code (2.6.32 and earlier) was okay because all addresses
were always deleted.
