Commit 9b2777d6 (ieee802154: add TX power control to wpan_phy) and following erroneously added CSMA and CCA parameters for 802.15.4 devices as PHY parameters, while they are actually MAC parameters and can differ for any two WPAN instances. Since it is now sensible to have multiple WPAN devices with differing CSMA/CCA parameters, make these parameters MAC parameters instead.

All 802.15.4 PHY devices with drivers in tree can support only one WPAN at any given time, yet the stack allows arbitrarily many WPAN devices to be created and up at the same time. This cannot work with what the hardware provides, and in the current implementation, provides an easy DoS vector to any process on the system that may call socket() and sendmsg(). Thus, allow only one WPAN per PHY to be up at once, just like mac80211 does for managed devices. Signed-off-by: Phoebe Buckheister <phoebe.buckheister@itwm.fraunhofer.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

nla_strcmp compares the string length plus one, so it's implicitly including the nul-termination in the comparison. int nla_strcmp(const struct nlattr *nla, const char *str) { int len = strlen(str) + 1; ... d = memcmp(nla_data(nla), str, len); However, if NLA_STRING is used, userspace can send us a string without the nul-termination. This is a problem since the string comparison will not match as the last byte may be not the nul-termination. Fix this by skipping the comparison of the nul-termination if the attribute data is nul-terminated. Suggested by Thomas Graf.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains fixes to e1000e, igb, ixgbe, ixgebvf, i40e and i40evf. David provides a fix for e1000e to resolve an issue where the device is capable of transmitting packets but is unable to receive packets until a previously introduced workaround is called. Jakub Kicinski provides PTP fixes for ixgbe, which include removing a redundant if clause and make sure we are not generating both a software and hardware timestamp. As well as fix a race condition and leaking skbs when multiple transmit rings try to claim time stamping. Jean Sacren fixes a function declaration in ixgbe which was introduced in commit c97506ab ("ixgbe: Add check for FW veto bit"). In addition fixes a function header comment in i40e and fixes the error checking by binding the check to the pertinent DMA bit mask. Mark provides several fixes for ixgbe and ixgbevf. Most notably are fixes to resolve namespace issues and fix ECU warnings induced by LER for ixgbe and ixgbevf. Joe Perches fixes up unnecessary casts in i40e and i40evf. Peter Senna Tschudin fixes igb to use pci_iounmap when the virtual mapping was done with pci_iomap. ====================# Please enter a commit message to explain why this merge is necessary,

Resolve some rcu warnings produced when LER actions take place. This appears to be due to not holding the rtnl lock when calling ixgbe_down, so hold the lock. Also avoid disabling the device when it is already disabled. This check is necessary because the callback can be called more than once in some cases.

The commit 6494294f ("i40e/i40evf: Use dma_set_mask_and_coherent") uses dma_set_mask_and_coherent() to replace dma_set_coherent_mask() for the benefit of return error. The conversion brings some confusion in error checking as whether against DMA_BIT_MASK(64) or DMA_BIT_MASK(32). For one, if error is zero, the check will be against DMA_BIT_MASK(64) twice. Fix this error checking by binding the check to the pertinent one.

David Ertman authored
In commit da1e2046, the flow for enabling/disabling an Si errata workaround (e1000_lv_jumbo_workaround_ich8lan) was changed to fix a problem with iAMT connections dropping on interface down with jumbo frames set. Part of this change was to move the function call disabling the workaround to e1000e_down() from the e1000_setup_rctl() function. The mechanic for disabling of this workaround involves writing several MAC and PHY registers back to hardware defaults. After this commit, when the driver is loaded with the cable out, the PHY registers are not programmed with the correct default values. This causes the device to be capable of transmitting packets, but is unable to recieve them until this workaround is called. The flow of e1000e's open code relies upon calling the above workaround to expicitly program these registers either with jumbo frame appropriate settings or h/w defaults on 82579 and newer hardware. Fix this issue by adding logic to e1000_setup_rctl() that not only calls e1000_lv_jumbo_workaround_ich8lan() when jumbo frames are set, to enable the workaround, but also calls this function to explicitly disable the workaround in the case that jumbo frames are not set.

After commit c15b1cca ("ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify processing to workqueue") some counters are now updated in process context and thus need to disable bh before doing so, otherwise deadlocks can happen on 32-bit archs. Fabio Estevam noticed this while while mounting a NFS volume on an ARM board. As a compensation for missing this I looked after the other *_STATS_BH and found three other calls which need updating: 1) icmp6_send: ip6_fragment -> icmpv6_send -> icmp6_send (error handling) 2) ip6_push_pending_frames: rawv6_sendmsg -> rawv6_push_pending_frames -> ...

First off, we don't need to check for non-NULL rt any more, as we are guaranteed to always get a valid rt6_info. Drop the check. In case we couldn't allocate an inet_peer for fragmentation information we currently generate strictly incrementing fragmentation ids for all destination. This is done to maximize the cycle and avoid collisions. Those fragmentation ids are very predictable. At least we should try to mix in the destination address. While it should make no difference to simply use a PRNG at this point, secure_ipv6_id ensures that we don't leak information from prandom, so its internal state could be recoverable. This fallback function should normally not get used thus this should not affect performance at all. It is just meant as a safety net.

Main difference between napi_frags_skb() and napi_gro_receive() is that the later is called while ethernet header was already pulled by the NIC driver (eth_type_trans() was called before napi_gro_receive()) Jerry Chu in commit 299603e8 ("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") tried to remove this difference by calling eth_type_trans() from napi_frags_skb() instead of doing this later from napi_frags_finish() Goal was that napi_gro_complete() could call ptype->callbacks.gro_complete(skb, 0) (offset of first network header = 0) Also, xxx_gro_receive() handlers all use off = skb_gro_offset(skb) to point to their own header, for the current skb and ones held in gro_list Problem is this cleanup work defeated the frag0 optimization: It turns out the consecutive pskb_may_pull() calls are too expensive. This patch brings back the frag0 stuff in napi_frags_skb().

In rtl8180/rtl8185/rtl8187se the register space is represented using packed structure type. Register are thus accessed using a pointer of this type. All registers are packed toghether, and only small gaps are present. However Rtl8187se has also some "sparse" registers, very far from the "main register block". It could be possible to access them by simply declare huge reserved blocks inside the register struct (and this causes NO memory waste). However, for various reasons, access to those "far" registers is done with special dedicated macros, without declaring them in the register struct. This is done in an intricate manner, that makes code less readable and caused static analisys tool to produce warnings. This patch keeps the "macro" mechanism, but it changes its implementation in a simplier and more straightforward way. Signed-off-by: Andrea Merello <andrea.merello@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
