      mac80211: fix channel switch for chanctx-based drivers · 47e4df94
      Michal Kazior authored 
      The new_ctx pointer is set only for non-chanctx drivers.  This yielded a
crash for chanctx-based drivers during channel switch finalization:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020
  IP: ieee80211_vif_use_reserved_switch+0x71c/0xb00 [mac80211]

Use an adequate chanctx pointer to fix this.

      net: sctp: fix suboptimal edge-case on non-active active/retrans path selection · aa4a83ee
      Daniel Borkmann authored 
      In SCTP, selection of active (T.ACT) and retransmission (T.RET)
transports is being done whenever transport control operations
(UP, DOWN, PF, ...) are engaged through sctp_assoc_control_transport().

Commits 4c47af4d ("net: sctp: rework multihoming retransmission
path selection to rfc4960") and a7288c4d ("net: sctp: improve
sctp_select_active_and_retran_path selection") have both improved
it towards a more fine-grained and optimal path selection.

Currently, the selection algorithm for T.ACT and T.RET is as follows:

1) Elect the two most recently used ACTIVE transports T1, T2 for
   T.ACT, T.RET, where T.ACT<-T1 and T1 is most recently used
2) In case primary path T.PRI not in {T1, T2} but ACTIVE, set
   T.ACT<-T.PRI and T.RET<-T1
3) If only T1 is ACTIVE from the set, set T.ACT<-T1 and T.RET<-T1
4) If none is ACTIVE, set T.ACT<-best(T.PRI, T.RET, T3) where
   T3 is the most recently used (if avail) in PF, set T.RET<-T.PRI

Prior to above commits, 4) was simply a camp on T.ACT<-T.PRI and
T.RET<-T.PRI, ignoring possible paths in PF. Camping on T.PRI is
still slightly suboptimal as it can lead to the following scenario:

Setup:
        <A>                                <B>
    T1: p1p1 (10.0.10.10) <==>  .'`)  <==> p1p1 (10.0.10.12)  <= T.PRI
    T2: p1p2 (10.0.10.20) <==> (_ . ) <==> p1p2 (10.0.10.22)

    net.sctp.rto_min = 1000
    net.sctp.path_max_retrans = 2
    net.sctp.pf_retrans = 0
    net.sctp.hb_interval = 1000

T.PRI is permanently down, T2 is put briefly into PF state (e.g. due to
link flapping). Here, the first time transmission is sent over PF path
T2 as it's the only non-INACTIVE path, but the retransmitted data-chunks
are sent over the INACTIVE path T1 (T.PRI), which is not good.

After the patch, it's choosing better transports in both cases by
modifying step 4):

4) If none is ACTIVE, set T.ACT_new<-best(T.ACT_old, T3) where T3 is
   the most recently used (if avail) in PF, set T.RET<-T.ACT_new

This will still select a best possible path in PF if available (which
can also include T.PRI/T.RET), and set both T.ACT/T.RET to it.

In case sctp_assoc_control_transport() *just* put T.ACT_old into INACTIVE
as it transitioned from ACTIVE->PF->INACTIVE and stays in INACTIVE just
for a very short while before going back ACTIVE, it will guarantee that
this path will be reselected for T.ACT/T.RET since T3 (PF) is not
available.

Previously, this was not possible, as we would only select between T.PRI
and T.RET, and a possible T3 would be NULL due to the fact that we have
just transitioned T3 in sctp_assoc_control_transport() from PF->INACTIVE
and would select a suboptimal path when T.PRI/T.RET have worse properties.

In the case that T.ACT_old permanently went to INACTIVE during this
transition and there's no PF path available, plus T.PRI and T.RET are
INACTIVE as well, we would now camp on T.ACT_old, but if everything is
being INACTIVE there's really not much we can do except hoping for a
successful HB to bring one of the transports back up again and, thus
cause a new selection through sctp_assoc_control_transport().

Now both tests work fine:

Case 1:

 1. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET

 2. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET
    T2 S(PF)

 3. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET
    T2 S(INACTIVE)

 5. T1 S(PF) T.ACT, T.RET
    T2 S(INACTIVE)

[ 5.1 T1 S(INACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET
      T2 S(INACTIVE) ]

 6. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET
    T2 S(INACTIVE)

 7. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET

Case 2:

 1. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET

 2. T1 S(PF)
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET

 3. T1 S(INACTIVE)
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET

 5. T1 S(INACTIVE)
    T2 S(PF) T.ACT, T.RET

[ 5.1 T1 S(INACTIVE)
      T2 S(INACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET ]

 6. T1 S(INACTIVE)
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET

 7. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET

      A NULL pointer dereference is possible for the argument ring->buf_pool
which is passed to xgene_enet_free_desc_ring(), as ring could be NULL.

And now since NULL pointers are being checked for before the calls to
xgene_enet_free_desc_ring(), might as well take advantage of them and
not call the function if the argument would be NULL.

      openvswitch: fix panic with multiple vlan headers · 2ba5af42
      Jiri Benc authored 
      When there are multiple vlan headers present in a received frame, the first
one is put into vlan_tci and protocol is set to ETH_P_8021Q. Anything in the
skb beyond the VLAN TPID may be still non-linear, including the inner TCI
and ethertype. While ovs_flow_extract takes care of IP and IPv6 headers, it
does nothing with ETH_P_8021Q. Later, if OVS_ACTION_ATTR_POP_VLAN is
executed, __pop_vlan_tci pulls the next vlan header into vlan_tci.

This leads to two things:

1. Part of the resulting ethernet header is in the non-linear part of the
   skb. When eth_type_trans is called later as the result of
   OVS_ACTION_ATTR_OUTPUT, kernel BUGs in __skb_pull. Also, __pop_vlan_tci
   is in fact accessing random data when it reads past the TPID.

2. network_header points into the ethernet header instead of behind it.
   mac_len is set to a wrong value (10), too.

      net: fec: ptp: avoid register access when ipg clock is disabled · 91c0d987
      Nimrod Andy authored 
      The current kernel hang on i.MX6SX with rootfs mount from MMC.
The root cause is that ptp uses a periodic timer to access enet register
even if ipg clock is disabled.

FEC ptp driver start one period timer to read 1588 counter register in the
ptp init function that is called after FEC driver is probed.

To save power, after FEC probe finish, FEC driver disable all clocks including
ipg clock that is needed for register access.

i.MX5x, i.MX6q/dl/sl FEC register access don't cause system hang when ipg clock
is disabled, just return zero value. But for i.MX6sx SOC, it cause system hang.

To avoid the issue, we need to check ptp clock status before ptp timer count access.

      sctp: not send SCTP_PEER_ADDR_CHANGE notifications with failed probe · 061079ac
      zhuyj authored 
      Since the transport has always been in state SCTP_UNCONFIRMED, it
therefore wasn't active before and hasn't been used before, and it
always has been, so it is unnecessary to bug the user with a
notification.

      bnx2x: Revert UNDI flushing mechanism · 7c3afd85
      Yuval Mintz authored 
      Commit 91ebb929 ("bnx2x: Add support for Multi-Function UNDI") [which was
later supposedly fixed by de682941 ("bnx2x: Fix UNDI driver unload")]
introduced a bug in which in some [yet-to-be-determined] scenarios the
alternative flushing mechanism which was to guarantee the Rx buffers are
empty before resetting them during device probe will fail.
If this happens, when device will be loaded once more a fatal attention will
occur; Since this most likely happens in boot from SAN scenarios, the machine
will fail to load.

Notice this may occur not only in the 'Multi-Function' scenario but in the
regular scenario as well, i.e., this introduced a regression in the driver's
ability to perform boot from SAN.

The patch reverts the mechanism and applies the old scheme to multi-function
devices as well as to single-function devices.
