cpsw_hwtstamp_ioctl() should validate all fields of hwtstamp_config, and the hardware version, before making any changes. Currently it sets the TX configuration before validating the rx_filter field or that the hardware supports timestamping. Also correct the error code for hardware versions that don't support timestamping. ENOTSUPP is used by the NFS implementation and is not part of userland API; we want EOPNOTSUPP (which glibc also calls ENOTSUP, with one 'P'). Untested as I don't have a cross-compiler to hand.

We currently don't call br_vlan_flush() when deleting a bridge, which leads to memory leak if br->vlan_info is allocated.

We should use wrapper functions vlan_vid_[add/del] instead of ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid. Otherwise, we might be not able to communicate using vlan interface in a certain situation. Example of problematic case: vconfig add eth0 10 brctl addif br0 eth0 bridge vlan add dev eth0 vid 10 bridge vlan del dev eth0 vid 10 brctl delif br0 eth0 In this case, we cannot communicate via eth0.10 because vlan 10 is filtered by NIC that has the vlan filtering feature.

We only call that in functions annotated with __init, so add __init prefix in prandom_start_seed_timer() as well, so that the kernel can make use of this hint and we can possibly free up resources after it's usage.

We currently use hdr_len as a hint of head length which is advertised by guest. But when guest advertise a very big value, it can lead to an 64K+ allocating of kmalloc() which has a very high possibility of failure when host memory is fragmented or under heavy stress. The huge hdr_len also reduce the effect of zerocopy or even disable if a gso skb is linearized in guest. To solves those issues, this patch introduces an upper limit (PAGE_SIZE) of the head, which guarantees an order 0 allocation each time. Cc: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Cc: Michael S.

This is harmless but cdc_ncm_setup() returns negative error codes truncated to u8 values. There is only one caller and treats all non-zero returns as errors but doesn't store the the return code.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) The addition of nftables. No longer will we need protocol aware firewall filtering modules, it can all live in userspace. At the core of nftables is a, for lack of a better term, virtual machine that executes byte codes to inspect packet or metadata (arriving interface index, etc.) and make verdict decisions. Besides support for loading packet contents and comparing them, the interpreter supports lookups in various datastructures as fundamental operations. For example sets are supports, and therefore one could create a set of whitelist IP address entries which have ACCEPT verdicts attached to them, and use the appropriate byte codes to do such lookups. Since the interpreted code is composed in userspace, userspace can do things like optimize things before giving it to the kernel. Another major improvement is the capability of atomically updating portions of the ruleset. In the existing netfilter implementation, one has to update the entire rule set in order to make a change and this is very expensive. Userspace tools exist to create nftables rules using existing netfilter rule sets, but both kernel implementations will need to co-exist for quite some time as we transition from the old to the new stuff. Kudos to Patrick McHardy, Pablo Neira Ayuso, and others who have worked so hard on this. 2) Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa made several improvements to our pseudo-random number generator, mostly used for things like UDP port randomization and netfitler, amongst other things. In particular the taus88 generater is updated to taus113, and test cases are added. 3) Support 64-bit rates in HTB and TBF schedulers, from Eric Dumazet and Yang Yingliang. 4) Add support for new 577xx tigon3 chips to tg3 driver, from Nithin Sujir. 5) Fix two fatal flaws in TCP dynamic right sizing, from Eric Dumazet, Neal Cardwell, and Yuchung Cheng. 6) Allow IP_TOS and IP_TTL to be specified in sendmsg() ancillary control message data, much like other socket option attributes. From Francesco Fusco. 7) Allow applications to specify a cap on the rate computed automatically by the kernel for pacing flows, via a new SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option. From Eric Dumazet. 8) Make the initial autotuned send buffer sizing in TCP more closely reflect actual needs, from Eric Dumazet. 9) Currently early socket demux only happens for TCP sockets, but we can do it for connected UDP sockets too. Implementation from Shawn Bohrer. 10) Refactor inet socket demux with the goal of improving hash demux performance for listening sockets. With the main goals being able to use RCU lookups on even request sockets, and eliminating the listening lock contention. From Eric Dumazet. 11) The bonding layer has many demuxes in it's fast path, and an RCU conversion was started back in 3.11, several changes here extend the RCU usage to even more locations. From Ding Tianhong and Wang Yufen, based upon suggestions by Nikolay Aleksandrov and Veaceslav Falico. 12) Allow stackability of segmentation offloads to, in particular, allow segmentation offloading over tunnels. From Eric Dumazet. 13) Significantly improve the handling of secret keys we input into the various hash functions in the inet hashtables, TCP fast open, as well as syncookies. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. The key fundamental operation is "net_get_random_once()" which uses static keys. Hannes even extended this to ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation handling and our generic flow dissector. 14) The generic driver layer takes care now to set the driver data to NULL on device removal, so it's no longer necessary for drivers to explicitly set it to NULL any more. Many drivers have been cleaned up in this way, from Jingoo Han. 15) Add a BPF based packet scheduler classifier, from Daniel Borkmann. 16) Improve CRC32 interfaces and generic SKB checksum iterators so that SCTP's checksumming can more cleanly be handled. Also from Daniel Borkmann. 17) Add a new PMTU discovery mode, IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE, which forces using the interface MTU value. This helps avoid PMTU attacks, particularly on DNS servers. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 18) Use generic XPS for transmit queue steering rather than internal (re-)implementation in virtio-net.

On 64 bit systems the test for negative message sizes is bogus as the size, which may be positive when evaluated as a long, will get truncated to an int when passed to load_msg(). So a long might very well contain a positive value but when truncated to an int it would become negative. That in combination with a small negative value of msg_ctlmax (which will be promoted to an unsigned type for the comparison against msgsz, making it a big positive value and therefore make it pass the check) will lead to two problems: 1/ The kmalloc() call in alloc_msg() will allocate a too small buffer as the addition of alen is effectively a subtraction. 2/ The copy_from_user() call in load_msg() will first overflow the buffer with userland data and then, when the userland access generates an access violation, the fixup handler copy_user_handle_tail() will try to fill the remainder with zeros -- roughly 4GB. That almost instantly results in a system crash or reset. ,-[ Reproducer (needs to be run as root) ]-- | #include <sys/stat.h> | #include <sys/msg.h> | #include <unistd.h> | #include <fcntl.h> | | int main(void) { | long msg = 1; | int fd; | | fd = open("/proc/sys/kernel/msgmax", O_WRONLY); | write(fd, "-1", 2); | close(fd); | | msgsnd(0, &msg, 0xfffffff0, IPC_NOWAIT); | | return 0; | } '--- Fix the issue by preventing msgsz from getting truncated by consistently using size_t for the message length. This way the size checks in do_msgsnd() could still be passed with a negative value for msg_ctlmax but we would fail on the buffer allocation in that case and error out. Also change the type of m_ts from int to size_t to avoid similar nastiness in other code paths -- it is used in similar constructs, i.e. signed vs. unsigned checks. It should never become negative under normal circumstances, though. Setting msg_ctlmax to a negative value is an odd configuration and should be prevented. As that might break existing userland, it will be handled in a separate commit so it could easily be reverted and reworked without reintroducing the above described bug. Hardening mechanisms for user copy operations would have catched that bug early -- e.g. checking slab object sizes on user copy operations as the usercopy feature of the PaX patch does. Or, for that matter, detect the long vs. int sign change due to truncation, as the size overflow plugin of the very same patch does.

When devpts is unmounted, there may be a no-longer-used IDR tree hanging off the superblock we are about to kill. This needs to be cleaned up before destroying the SB. The leak is usually not a big deal because unmounting devpts is typically done when shutting down the whole machine. However, shutting down an LXC container instead of a physical machine exposes the problem (the garbage is detectable with kmemleak).

Make menuconfig allows one to choose compression format of an initial ramdisk image. But this choice does not result in duly compressed ramdisk image. Because - $ make install - does not pass on the selected compression choice to the dracut(8) tool, which creates the initramfs file. dracut(8) generates the image with the default compression, ie. gzip(1). This patch exports the selected compression option to a sub-shell environment, so that it could be used by dracut(8) tool to generate appropriately compressed initramfs images. There isn't a straightforward way to pass on options to dracut(8) via positional parameters. Because it is indirectly invoked at the end of a $ make install sequence. # make install -> arch/$arch/boot/Makefile -> arch/$arch/boot/install.sh -> /sbing/installkernel ... -> /sbin/new-kernel-pkg ... -> /sbin/dracut ...

Some ARC users say they can boot faster with without kernel compression. This probably depends on things like the FLASH chip they use etc. Until now, kernel compression can only be disabled by removing "select HAVE_<compression>" lines from the architecture Kconfig. So add the Kconfig logic to permit disabling of kernel compression.

On architectures where long is more then 32 bits, modifying a 32-bit field with set_bit (and other atomic bit operations) may cause bytes following the field to by modified. Because the endianness of the bits within a field is the native endianness of the CPU[1], on big-endian machines, bit number zero is in the last byte of the field. Therefore, `set_bit(0, ptr)' on a 64-bit big-endian machine is roughly equivalent to `((char *)ptr)[7] |= 1', and since w1 driver uses a 32-bit field for holding the flags, this causes bytes beyond the field to be modified. [1] From Documentation/atomic_ops.txt: Native atomic bit operations are defined to operate on objects aligned to the size of an "unsigned long" C data type, and are least of that size. The endianness of the bits within each "unsigned long" are the native endianness of the cpu.

In h_msb_read_page() in ms_block.c, flow never reaches case MSB_RP_RECIVE_STATUS_REG. This causes error when MEMSTICK_INT_ERR is encountered and status error bits are going to be examined, but the status will never be copied back. Fix it by transitioning to MSB_RP_RECIVE_STATUS_REG right after MSB_RP_SEND_READ_STATUS_REG.

attrs field of attribute_group structure is a pointer to a pointer (as in an array of pointers) rather than pointer to attribute struct (as in an array of structures), so when allocating size of the pointer sholud be used instead of the structure it is pointing to. While at it, also change the call to use kcalloc rather than kzalloc.
