      NFC: pn533: Target mode Tx fragmentation support · 93ad4202
      Olivier Guiter authored
      In target mode, when we want to send frames larger than the max length
      (PN533_CMD_DATAEXCH_DATA_MAXLEN), we have to split the frame in smaller
      chunks and send them, using a specific working queue, with the TgSetMetaData
      command. TgSetMetaData sets his own MI bit in the PFB.
      The last chunk is sent using the TgSetData command.

      NFC: pn533: Add support for incoming fragmented frame in target mode · 3c13b244
      Olivier Guiter authored
      This code processes, for Target Mode, incoming fragmented frames.
      If the MI bit is present, we start a working queue to grab and aggregate
      all the parts (using TmGetData between each parts). On the last one, as
      there's no more MI bit, we jump on the usual behavior.

      NFC: pn533: Add MI/TG bits only when in Initiator mode · 22953f93
      Olivier Guiter authored
      The fragmentation routine (used to split big frames) could be used in
      target or initiator mode (TgSetMetaData vs InDataExchange), but the
      MI/TG bytes are not needed in target mode (TgSetMetaData), so we
      add a check on the mode

      NFC: NCI: Modify NCI SPI to implement CS/INT handshake per the spec · 2bed2785
      Eric Lapuyade authored
      The NFC Forum NCI specification defines both a hardware and software
      protocol when using a SPI physical transport to connect an NFC NCI
      Chipset. The hardware requirement is that, after having raised the chip
      select line, the SPI driver must wait for an INT line from the NFC
      chipset to raise before it sends the data. The chip select must be
      raised first though, because this is the signal that the NFC chipset
      will detect to wake up and then raise its INT line. If the INT line
      doesn't raise in a timely fashion, the SPI driver should abort
      operation.
      
      When data is transferred from Device host (DH) to NFC Controller (NFCC),
      the signaling sequence is the following:
      
      Data Transfer from DH to NFCC
      • 1-Master asserts SPI_CSN
      • 2-Slave asserts SPI_INT
      • 3-Master sends NCI-over-SPI protocol header and payload data
      • 4-Slave deasserts SPI_INT
      • 5-Master deasserts SPI_CSN
      
      When data must be transferred from NFCC to DH, things are a little bit
      different.
      
      Data Transfer from NFCC to DH
      • 1-Slave asserts SPI_INT -> NFC chipset irq handler called -> process
      reading from SPI
      • 2-Master asserts SPI_CSN
      • 3-Master send 2-octet NCI-over-SPI protocol header
      • 4-Slave sends 2-octet NCI-over-SPI protocol payload length
      • 5-Slave sends NCI-over-SPI protocol payload
      • 6-Master deasserts SPI_CSN
      
      In this case, SPI driver should function normally as it does today. Note
      that the INT line can and will be lowered anytime between beginning of
      step 3 and end of step 5. A low INT is therefore valid after chip select
      has been raised.
      
      This would be easily implemented in a single driver. Unfortunately, we
      don't write the SPI driver and I had to imagine some workaround trick to
      get the SPI and NFC drivers to work in a synchronized fashion. The trick
      is the following:
      
      - send an empty spi message: this will raise the chip select line, and
      send nothing. We expect the /CS line will stay arisen because we asked
      for it in the spi_transfer cs_change field
      - wait for a completion, that will be completed by the NFC driver IRQ
      handler when it knows we are in the process of sending data (NFC spec
      says that we use SPI in a half duplex mode, so we are either sending or
      receiving).
      - when completed, proceed with the normal data send.
      
      This has been tested and verified to work very consistently on a Nexus
      10 (spi-s3c64xx driver). It may not work the same with other spi
      drivers.
      
      The previously defined nci_spi_ops{} whose intended purpose were to
      address this problem are not used anymore and therefore totally removed.
      
      The nci_spi_send() takes a new optional write_handshake_completion
      completion pointer. If non NULL, the nci spi layer will run the above
      trick when sending data to the NFC Chip. If NULL, the data is sent
      normally all at once and it is then the NFC driver responsibility to
      know what it's doing.

      NFC: NCI: nci_spi_recv_frame() now returns (not forward) the read frame · 22d4aae5
      Eric Lapuyade authored
      Previously, nci_spi_recv_frame() would directly transmit incoming frames
      to the NCI Core. However, it turns out that some NFC NCI Chips will add
      additional proprietary headers that must be handled/removed before NCI
      Core gets a chance to handle the frame. With this modification, the chip
      phy or driver are now responsible to transmit incoming frames to NCI
      Core after proper treatment, and NCI SPI becomes a driver helper instead
      of sitting between the NFC driver and NCI Core.
      
      As a general rule in NFC, *_recv_frame() APIs are used to deliver an
      incoming frame to an upper layer. To better suit the actual purpose of
      nci_spi_recv_frame(), and go along with its nci_spi_send()
      counterpart, the function is renamed to nci_spi_read()
      
      The skb is returned as the function result

      In order to send and receive ISO7816 APDUs to and from NFC embedded
      secure elements, we define a specific netlink command.
      On a typical SE use case, host applications will send very few APDUs
      (Less than 10) per transaction. This is why we decided to go for a
      simple netlink API. Defining another NFC socket protocol for such low
      traffic would have been overengineered.

      This was triggered by the following sparse warning:
      
      net/nfc/digital_technology.c:272:20: sparse: cast to restricted __be16
      
      The SENS_RES response must be treated as __le16 with the first byte
      received as LSB and the second one as MSB. This is the way neard
      handles it in the sens_res field of the nfc_target structure which is
      treated as u16 in cpu endianness. So le16_to_cpu() is used on the
      received SENS_RES instead of memcpy'ing it.
      
      SENS_RES test macros have also been fixed accordingly.

      NFC Digital: Add target NFC-DEP support · 1c7a4c24
      Thierry Escande authored
      This adds support for NFC-DEP target mode for NFC-A and NFC-F
      technologies.
      
      If the driver provides it, the stack uses an automatic mode for
      technology detection and automatic anti-collision. Otherwise the stack
      tries to use non-automatic synchronization and listens for SENS_REQ and
      SENSF_REQ commands.
      
      The detection, activation, and data exchange procedures work exactly
      the same way as in initiator mode, as described in the previous
      commits, except that the digital stack waits for commands and sends
      responses back to the peer device.

      NFC Digital: Add initiator NFC-DEP support · 7d0911c0
      Thierry Escande authored
      This adds support for NFC-DEP protocol in initiator mode for NFC-A and
      NFC-F technologies.
      
      When a target is detected, the process flow is as follow:
      
      For NFC-A technology:
      1 - The digital stack receives a SEL_RES as the reply of the SEL_REQ
          command.
      2   - If b7 of SEL_RES is set, the peer device is configure for NFC-DEP
            protocol. NFC core is notified through nfc_targets_found().
            Execution continues at step 4.
      3   - Otherwise, it's a tag and the NFC core is notified. Detection
            ends.
      4 - The digital stacks sends an ATR_REQ command containing a randomly
          generated NFCID3 and the general bytes obtained from the LLCP layer
          of NFC core.
      
      For NFC-F technology:
      1 - The digital stack receives a SENSF_RES as the reply of the
          SENSF_REQ command.
      2   - If B1 and B2 of NFCID2 are 0x01 and 0xFE respectively, the peer
            device is configured for NFC-DEP protocol. NFC core is notified
            through nfc_targets_found(). Execution continues at step 4.
      3   - Otherwise it's a type 3 tag. NFC core is notified. Detection
            ends.
      4 - The digital stacks sends an ATR_REQ command containing the NFC-F
          NFCID2 as NFCID3 and the general bytes obtained from the LLCP layer
          of NFC core.
      
      For both technologies:
      5 - The digital stacks receives the ATR_RES response containing the
          NFCID3 and the general bytes of the peer device.
      6 - The digital stack notifies NFC core that the DEP link is up through
          nfc_dep_link_up().
      7 - The NFC core performs data exchange through tm_transceive().
      8 - The digital stack sends a DEP_REQ command containing an I PDU with
          the data from NFC core.
      9 - The digital stack receives a DEP_RES command
      10  - If the DEP_RES response contains a supervisor PDU with timeout
            extension request (RTOX) the digital stack sends a DEP_REQ
            command containing a supervisor PDU acknowledging the RTOX
            request. The execution continues at step 9.
      11  - If the DEP_RES response contains an I PDU, the response data is
            passed back to NFC core through the response callback. The
            execution continues at step 8.

      This adds polling support for NFC-F technology at 212 kbits/s and 424
      kbits/s. A user space application like neard can send type 3 tag
      commands through the NFC core.
      
      Process flow for NFC-F detection is as follow:
      
      1 - The digital stack sends the SENSF_REQ command to the NFC device.
      2 - A peer device replies with a SENSF_RES response.
      3   - The digital stack notifies the NFC core of the presence of a
            target in the operation field and passes the target NFCID2.
      
      This also adds support for CRC calculation of type CRC-F. The CRC
      calculation is handled by the digital stack if the NFC device doesn't
      support it.

      NFC Digital: Add NFC-A technology support · 2c66daec
      Thierry Escande authored
      This adds support for NFC-A technology at 106 kbits/s. The stack can
      detect tags of type 1 and 2. There is no support for collision
      detection. Tags can be read and written by using a user space
      application or a daemon like neard.
      
      The flow of polling operations for NFC-A detection is as follow:
      
      1 - The digital stack sends the SENS_REQ command to the NFC device.
      2 - The NFC device receives a SENS_RES response from a peer device and
          passes it to the digital stack.
      3   - If the SENS_RES response identifies a type 1 tag, detection ends.
            NFC core is notified through nfc_targets_found().
      4   - Otherwise, the digital stack sets the cascade level of NFCID1 to
            CL1 and sends the SDD_REQ command.
      5 - The digital stack selects SEL_CMD and SEL_PAR according to the
          cascade level and sends the SDD_REQ command.
      4 - The digital stack receives a SDD_RES response for the cascade level
          passed in the SDD_REQ command.
      5 - The digital stack analyses (part of) NFCID1 and verify BCC.
      6 - The digital stack sends the SEL_REQ command with the NFCID1
          received in the SDD_RES.
      6 - The peer device replies with a SEL_RES response
      7   - Detection ends if NFCID1 is complete. NFC core notified of new
            target by nfc_targets_found().
      8   - If NFCID1 is not complete, the cascade level is incremented (up
            to and including CL3) and the execution continues at step 5 to
            get the remaining bytes of NFCID1.
      
      Once target detection is done, type 1 and 2 tag commands must be
      handled by a user space application (i.e neard) through the NFC core.
      Responses for type 1 tag are returned directly to user space via NFC
      core.
      Responses of type 2 commands are handled differently. The digital stack
      doesn't analyse the type of commands sent through im_transceive() and
      must differentiate valid responses from error ones.
      The response process flow is as follow:
      
      1 - If the response length is 16 bytes, it is a valid response of a
          READ command. the packet is returned to the NFC core through the
          callback passed to im_transceive(). Processing stops.
      2 - If the response is 1 byte long and is a ACK byte (0x0A), it is a
          valid response of a WRITE command for example. First packet byte
          is set to 0 for no-error and passed back to the NFC core.
          Processing stops.
      3 - Any other response is treated as an error and -EIO error code is
          returned to the NFC core through the response callback.
      
      Moreover, since the driver can't differentiate success response from a
      NACK response, the digital stack has to handle CRC calculation.
      
      Thus, this patch also adds support for CRC calculation. If the driver
      doesn't handle it, the digital stack will calculate CRC and will add it
      to sent frames. CRC will also be checked and removed from received
      frames. Pointers to the correct CRC calculation functions are stored in
      the digital stack device structure when a target is detected. This
      avoids the need to check the current target type for every call to
      im_transceive() and for every response received from a peer device.

      NFC Digital: Implement driver commands mechanism · 59ee2361
      Thierry Escande authored
      This implements the mechanism used to send commands to the driver in
      initiator mode through in_send_cmd().
      
      Commands are serialized and sent to the driver by using a work item
      on the system workqueue. Responses are handled asynchronously by
      another work item. Once the digital stack receives the response through
      the command_complete callback, the next command is sent to the driver.
      
      This also implements the polling mechanism. It's handled by a work item
      cycling on all supported protocols. The start poll command for a given
      protocol is sent to the driver using the mechanism described above.
      The process continues until a peer is discovered or stop_poll is
      called. This patch implements the poll function for NFC-A that sends a
      SENS_REQ command and waits for the SENS_RES response.

       2) Some fixups for the new chipset support that went into the sfc
          driver, from Ben Hutchings.
      
       3) Because SCTP bypasses a good chunk of, and actually duplicates, the
          logic of the ipv6 output path, some IPSEC things don't get done
          properly.  Integrate SCTP better into the ipv6 output path so that
          these problems are fixed and such issues don't get missed in the
          future either.  From Daniel Borkmann.
      
       4) Fix skge regressions added by the DMA mapping error return checking
          added in v3.10, from Mikulas Patocka.

       6) Fix races and deadlocks in the bridging code, from Hong Zhiguo.
      
       7) Fix error handling in tun_set_iff(), in particular don't leak
          resources.  From Jason Wang.
      
       8) Prevent format-string injection into xen-netback driver, from Kees
          Cook.
      
       9) Fix regression added to netpoll ARP packet handling, in particular
          check for the right ETH_P_ARP protocol code.  From Sonic Zhang.
      
      10) Try to deal with AMD IOMMU errors when using r8169 chips, from
          Francois Romieu.
      
      11) Cure freezes due to recent changes in the rt2x00 wireless driver,
          from Stanislaw Gruszka.
      
      12) Don't do SPI transfers (which can sleep) in interrupt context in
          cw1200 driver, from Solomon Peachy.
      
      13) Fix LEDs handling bug in 5720 tg3 chips already handled for 5719.
          From Nithin Sujir.
      
      14) Make xen_netbk_count_skb_slots() count the actual number of slots
          that will be used, taking into consideration packing and other
          issues that the transmit path will run into.  From David Vrabel.
      
      15) Use the correct maximum age when calculating the bridge
          message_age_timer, from Chris Healy.

      20) Missing workqueue destroy in cxgb4 error handling, from Wei Yang.
      
      21) Internal switch not initialized properly in bgmac driver, from Rafał
          Miłecki.
      
      22) Netlink messages report wrong local and remote addresses in IPv6
          tunneling, from Ding Zhi.
      
      23) ICMP redirects should not generate socket errors in DCCP and SCTP.
          We're still working out how this should be handled for RAW and UDP
          sockets.  From Daniel Borkmann and Duan Jiong.
      
      24) We've had several bugs wherein the network namespace's loopback

      netconsole: fix a deadlock with rtnl and netconsole's mutex · c71380ff
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
      This bug was introduced by commit
      7a163bfb ("netconsole: avoid a crash with
      multiple sysfs writers"). In store_enabled() we have the following
      sequence: acquire nt->mutex then rtnl, but in the netconsole netdev
      notifier we have rtnl then nt->mutex effectively leading to a deadlock.
      The NULL pointer dereference that the above commit tries to fix is
      actually due to another bug in netpoll_cleanup(). This is fixed by dropping
      the mutex from the netdev notifier as it's already protected by rtnl.

      netpoll: fix NULL pointer dereference in netpoll_cleanup · d0fe8c88
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
      I've been hitting a NULL ptr deref while using netconsole because the
      np->dev check and the pointer manipulation in netpoll_cleanup are done
      without rtnl and the following sequence happens when having a netconsole
      over a vlan and we remove the vlan while disabling the netconsole:
      	CPU 1					CPU2
      					removes vlan and calls the notifier
      enters store_enabled(), calls
      netdev_cleanup which checks np->dev
      and then waits for rtnl
      					executes the netconsole netdev
      					release notifier making np->dev
      					== NULL and releases rtnl
      continues to dereference a member of
      np->dev which at this point is == NULL

      skge: fix broken driver · c194992c
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      The patch 136d8f37 broke the skge driver.
      Note this part of the patch:
      +               if (skge_rx_setup(skge, e, nskb, skge->rx_buf_size) < 0) {
      +                       dev_kfree_skb(nskb);
      +                       goto resubmit;
      +               }
      +
                      pci_unmap_single(skge->hw->pdev,
                                       dma_unmap_addr(e, mapaddr),
                                       dma_unmap_len(e, maplen),
                                       PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE);
                      skb = e->skb;
                      prefetch(skb->data);
      -               skge_rx_setup(skge, e, nskb, skge->rx_buf_size);
      
      The function skge_rx_setup modifies e->skb to point to the new skb. Thus,
      after this change, the new buffer, not the old, is returned to the
      networking stack.
      
      This bug is present in kernels 3.11, 3.11.1 and 3.12-rc1. The patch should
      be queued for 3.11-stable.
