      tap: reference to KVA of an unloaded module causes kernel panic · dea6e19f
      Girish Moodalbail authored 
      The commit 9a393b5d ("tap: tap as an independent module") created a
separate tap module that implements tap functionality and exports
interfaces that will be used by macvtap and ipvtap modules to create
create respective tap devices.

However, that patch introduced a regression wherein the modules macvtap
and ipvtap can be removed (through modprobe -r) while there are
applications using the respective /dev/tapX devices. These applications
cause kernel to hold reference to /dev/tapX through 'struct cdev
macvtap_cdev' and 'struct cdev ipvtap_dev' defined in macvtap and ipvtap
modules respectively. So,  when the application is later closed the
kernel panics because we are referencing KVA that is present in the
unloaded modules.

----------8<------- Example ----------8<----------
$ sudo ip li add name mv0 link enp7s0 type macvtap
$ sudo ip li show mv0 |grep mv0| awk -e '{print $1 $2}'
  14:mv0@enp7s0:
$ cat /dev/tap14 &
$ lsmod |egrep -i 'tap|vlan'
macvtap                16384  0
macvlan                24576  1 macvtap
tap                    24576  3 macvtap
$ sudo modprobe -r macvtap
$ fg
cat /dev/tap14
^C

<...system panics...>
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa038c500
IP: cdev_put+0xf/0x30
----------8<-----------------8<----------

The fix is to set cdev.owner to the module that creates the tap device
(either macvtap or ipvtap). With this set, the operations (in
fs/char_dev.c) on char device holds and releases the module through
cdev_get() and cdev_put() and will not allow the module to unload
prematurely.

      tcp: refresh tp timestamp before tcp_mtu_probe() · ee1836ae
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      In the unlikely event tcp_mtu_probe() is sending a packet, we
want tp->tcp_mstamp being as accurate as possible.

This means we need to call tcp_mstamp_refresh() a bit earlier in
tcp_write_xmit().

      tuntap: properly align skb->head before building skb · 63b9ab65
      Jason Wang authored 
      An unaligned alloc_frag->offset caused by previous allocation will
result an unaligned skb->head. This will lead unaligned
skb_shared_info and then unaligned dataref which requires to be
aligned for accessing on some architecture. Fix this by aligning
alloc_frag->offset before the frag refilling.

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-10-26

This series contains fixes to e1000, igb, ixgbe and i40e.

Vincenzo Maffione fixes a potential race condition which would result in
the interface being up but transmits are disabled in the hardware.

Colin Ian King fixes a possible NULL pointer dereference in e1000, which
was found by Coverity.

Jean-Philippe Brucker fixes a possible kernel panic when a driver cannot
map a transmit buffer, which is caused by an erroneous test.

Alex provides a fix for ixgbe, which is a partial revert of the commit
ffed21bc ("ixgbe: Don't bother clearing buffer memory for descriptor rings")
because the previous commit messed up the exception handling path by
adding the count back in when we did not need to.  Also fixed a typo,
where the transmit ITR setting was being used to determine if we were
using adaptive receive interrupt moderation or not.  Lastly, fixed a
memory leak by including programming descriptors in the cleaned count.

      ip6_gre: update dst pmtu if dev mtu has been updated by toobig in __gre6_xmit · 8aec4959
      Xin Long authored 
      When receiving a Toobig icmpv6 packet, ip6gre_err would just set
tunnel dev's mtu, that's not enough. For skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu may
still be using the old value, it has no chance to be updated with
tunnel dev's mtu.

Jianlin found this issue by reducing route's mtu while running
netperf, the performance went to 0.

ip6ip6 and ip4ip6 tunnel can work well with this, as they lookup
the upper dst and update_pmtu it's pmtu or icmpv6_send a Toobig
to upper socket after setting tunnel dev's mtu.

We couldn't do that for ip6_gre, as gre's inner packet could be
any protocol, it's difficult to handle them (like lookup upper
dst) in a good way.

So this patch is to fix it by updating skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu when
dev->mtu < skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu in tx path. It's safe to do this
update there, as usually dev->mtu <= skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu and no
performance regression can be caused by this.

      The similar fix in patch 'ipip: only increase err_count for some
certain type icmp in ipip_err' is needed for ip6gre_err.

In Jianlin's case, udp netperf broke even when receiving a TooBig
icmpv6 packet.

      ipip: only increase err_count for some certain type icmp in ipip_err · f3594f0a
      Xin Long authored 
      t->err_count is used to count the link failure on tunnel and an err
will be reported to user socket in tx path if t->err_count is not 0.
udp socket could even return EHOSTUNREACH to users.

Since commit fd58156e ("IPIP: Use ip-tunneling code.") removed
the 'switch check' for icmp type in ipip_err(), err_count would be
increased by the icmp packet with ICMP_EXC_FRAGTIME code. an link
failure would be reported out due to this.

In Jianlin's case, when receiving ICMP_EXC_FRAGTIME a icmp packet,
udp netperf failed with the err:
  send_data: data send error: No route to host (errno 113)

We expect this error reported from tunnel to socket when receiving
some certain type icmp, but not ICMP_EXC_FRAGTIME, ICMP_SR_FAILED
or ICMP_PARAMETERPROB ones.

This patch is to bring 'switch check' for icmp type back to ipip_err
so that it only reports link failure for the right type icmp, just as
in ipgre_err() and ipip6_err().

      According to DWMAC databook the first queue operating mode
must always be in DCB.

As MTL_QUEUE_DCB = 1, we need to always set the first queue
operating mode to DCB otherwise driver will think that queue
is in AVB mode (because MTL_QUEUE_AVB = 0).
