      openvswitch: Zero flows on allocation. · ae5f2fb1
      Jesse Gross authored
      When support for megaflows was introduced, OVS needed to start
      installing flows with a mask applied to them. Since masking is an
      expensive operation, OVS also had an optimization that would only
      take the parts of the flow keys that were covered by a non-zero
      mask. The values stored in the remaining pieces should not matter
      because they are masked out.
      
      While this works fine for the purposes of matching (which must always
      look at the mask), serialization to netlink can be problematic. Since
      the flow and the mask are serialized separately, the uninitialized
      portions of the flow can be encoded with whatever values happen to be
      present.
      
      In terms of functionality, this has little effect since these fields
      will be masked out by definition. However, it leaks kernel memory to
      userspace, which is a potential security vulnerability. It is also
      possible that other code paths could look at the masked key and get
      uninitialized data, although this does not currently appear to be an
      issue in practice.
      
      This removes the mask optimization for flows that are being installed.
      This was always intended to be the case as the mask optimizations were
      really targetting per-packet flow operations.

      net: dsa: actually force the speed on the CPU port · 53adc9e8
      Russell King authored
      Commit 54d792f2 ("net: dsa: Centralise global and port setup
      code into mv88e6xxx.") merged in the 4.2 merge window broke the link
      speed forcing for the CPU port of Marvell DSA switches.  The original
      code was:
      
              /* MAC Forcing register: don't force link, speed, duplex
               * or flow control state to any particular values on physical
               * ports, but force the CPU port and all DSA ports to 1000 Mb/s
               * full duplex.
               */
              if (dsa_is_cpu_port(ds, p) || ds->dsa_port_mask & (1 << p))
                      REG_WRITE(addr, 0x01, 0x003e);
              else
                      REG_WRITE(addr, 0x01, 0x0003);
      
      but the new code does a read-modify-write:
      
                      reg = _mv88e6xxx_reg_read(ds, REG_PORT(port), PORT_PCS_CTRL);
                      if (dsa_is_cpu_port(ds, port) ||
                          ds->dsa_port_mask & (1 << port)) {
                              reg |= PORT_PCS_CTRL_FORCE_LINK |
                                      PORT_PCS_CTRL_LINK_UP |
                                      PORT_PCS_CTRL_DUPLEX_FULL |
                                      PORT_PCS_CTRL_FORCE_DUPLEX;
                              if (mv88e6xxx_6065_family(ds))
                                      reg |= PORT_PCS_CTRL_100;
                              else
                                      reg |= PORT_PCS_CTRL_1000;
      
      The link speed in the PCS control register is a two bit field.  Forcing
      the link speed in this way doesn't ensure that the bit field is set to
      the correct value - on the hardware I have here, the speed bitfield
      remains set to 0x03, resulting in the speed not being forced to gigabit.
      
      We must clear both bits before forcing the link speed.
