Abstract unix domain socket may embed null characters, these should be translated to '@' when printed out to proc the same way the null prefix is currently being translated. This helps for tools such as netstat, lsof and the proc based implementation in ss to show all the significant bytes of the name (instead of getting cut at the first null occurrence).

Current bgmac code initializes some DMA settings in the receive control register for some hardware and then immediately clears those settings. Not clearing those settings results in ~420Mbps *improvement* in throughput; this system can now receive frames at line-rate on Broadcom 5871x hardware compared to ~520Mbps today. I also tested a few other values but found there to be no discernible difference in CPU utilization even if burst size and prefetching values are different. On the hardware tested there was no need to keep the code that cleared all but bits 16-17, but since there is a wide variety of hardware that used this driver (I did not look at all hardware docs for hardware using this IP block), I find it wise to move this call up and clear bits just after reading the default value from the hardware rather than completely removing it. This is a good candidate for -stable >=3.14 since that is when the code that was supposed to improve performance (but did not) was introduced.

Xin Long authored
Prior to this patch, in rx path, before calling lock_sock, it needed to hold assoc when got it by __sctp_lookup_association, in case other place would free/put assoc. But in __sctp_lookup_association, it lookup and hold transport, then got assoc by transport->assoc, then hold assoc and put transport. It means it didn't hold transport, yet it was returned and later on directly assigned to chunk->transport. Without the protection of sock lock, the transport may be freed/put by other places, which would cause a use-after-free issue. This patch is to fix this issue by holding transport instead of assoc. As holding transport can make sure to access assoc is also safe, and actually it looks up assoc by searching transport rhashtable, to hold transport here makes more sense. Note that the function will be renamed later on on another patch. Signed-off-by: Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com> Acked-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Prior to this patch, it used a local variable to save the transport that is looked up by __sctp_lookup_association(), and didn't return it back. But in sctp_rcv, it is used to initialize chunk->transport. So when hitting this, even if it found the transport, it was still initializing chunk->transport with null instead. This patch is to return the transport back through transport pointer that is from __sctp_rcv_lookup_harder().

In the device, a MID entry represents a group of local ports, which can later be bound to a MDB entry. The lookup of an existing MID entry is currently done using the provided MC MAC address and VID, from the Linux bridge. However, this can result in an incorrect reuse of the same MID index in different VLAN-unaware bridges (same IP MC group and VID 0). Fix this by performing the lookup based on FID instead of VID, which is unique across different bridges.

However, the strings provided would still contain both Tx and Rx strings for each one of the queues [regardless of its configuration], which might lead to out-of-bound access when filling the buffers as well as incorrect statistics presented.

Sending zero checksum is ok for TCP, but not for UDP. UDPv6 receiver should by default drop a frame with a 0 checksum, and UDPv4 would not verify the checksum and might accept a corrupted packet. Simply replace such checksum by 0xffff, regardless of transport. This error was caught on SIT tunnels, but seems generic.

If a congestion control module doesn't provide .undo_cwnd function, tcp_undo_cwnd_reduction() will set cwnd to tp->snd_cwnd = max(tp->snd_cwnd, tp->snd_ssthresh << 1); ... which makes sense for reno (it sets ssthresh to half the current cwnd), but it makes no sense for dctcp, which sets ssthresh based on the current congestion estimate. This can cause severe growth of cwnd (eventually overflowing u32). Fix this by saving last cwnd on loss and restore cwnd based on that, similar to cubic and other algorithms.

Similar to commit c146066a ("ipv4: Don't use ufo handling on later transformed packets"), don't perform UFO on packets that will be IPsec transformed.

The r8152 driver has been broken since (approx) 3.16.xx when support was added for hardware RX checksums on newer chip versions. Symptoms include random segfaults and silent data corruption over NFS. The hardware checksum logig does not work on the VER_02 dongles I have here when used with a slow embedded system CPU. Google reveals others reporting similar issues on Raspberry Pi. So, disable hardware RX checksum support for VER_02, and fix an obvious coding error for IPV6 checksums in the same function. Because this bug results in silent data corruption, it is a good candidate for back-porting to -stable >= 3.16.xx. Signed-off-by: Mark Lord <mlord@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Driver allocates a shadow array for transmitted SKBs with X entries; That means valid indices are {0,...,X - 1}. [X == 8191] Problem is the driver also uses X as a mask for a producer/consumer in order to choose the right entry in the array which allows access to entry X which is out of bounds.

When MTU is changed from 9000 to 1500 while there is burst of inbound 9000 bytes packets, adaptor sometimes delivers 9000 bytes packets to 1500 bytes buffers. This causes memory corruption and sometimes crash. This is because of a race condition in adaptor between "RQ disable" clearing descriptor mini-cache and mini-cache valid bit being set by completion of descriptor fetch. This can result in stale RQ desc being cached and used when packets arrive. In this case, the stale descriptor have old MTU value. Solution is to write RQ->disable twice. The first write will stop any further desc fetches, allowing the second disable to clear the mini-cache valid bit without danger of a race. Also, the check for rq->running becoming 0 after writing rq->enable to 0 is not done properly. When incoming packets are flooding the interface, rq->running will pulse high for each dropped packet. Since the driver was waiting for 10us between each poll, it is possible to see rq->running = 1 1000 times in a row, even though it is not actually stuck running. This results in false failure of vnic_rq_disable(). Fix is to try more than 1000 time without delay between polls to ensure we do not miss when running goes low. In old adaptors rq->enable needs to be re-written to 0 when posted_index is reset in vnic_rq_clean() in order to keep rq->prefetch_index in sync.

Jon Paul Maloy authored
In commit 2d18ac4b ("tipc: extend broadcast link initialization criteria") we tried to fix a problem with the initial synchronization of broadcast link acknowledge values. Unfortunately that solution is not sufficient to solve the issue. We have seen it happen that LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE packets with a valid non-zero unicast acknowledge number may bypass BCAST_PROTOCOL initialization, NAME_DISTRIBUTOR and other STATE packets with invalid broadcast acknowledge numbers, leading to premature opening of the broadcast link. When the bypassed packets finally arrive, they are inadvertently accepted, and the already correctly initialized acknowledge number in the broadcast receive link is overwritten by the invalid (zero) value of the said packets. After this the broadcast link goes stale. We now fix this by marking the packets where we know the acknowledge value is or may be invalid, and then ignoring the acks from those. To this purpose, we claim an unused bit in the header to indicate that the value is invalid. We set the bit to 1 in the initial BCAST_PROTOCOL synchronization packet and all initial ("bulk") NAME_DISTRIBUTOR packets, plus those LINK_PROTOCOL packets sent out before the broadcast links are fully synchronized. This minor protocol update is fully backwards compatible.

Emil fixes a NULL pointer dereference when a macvlan interface is brought up while the PF is still down. David root caused the original panic that was fixed by commit id (a036244c "i40e: Fix kernel panic on enable/disable LLDP") and the fix was not quite correct, so removed the get_default_tc() and replaced it with a #define since there is only one TC supported as a default. Guilherme Piccoli fixes an issue where if we modprobe the driver module without enough MSI-X interrupts, then unload the module and reload it again, the kernel would crash. So if we fail to allocate enough MSI-X interrupts, we should disable them since they were previously enabled.

mlx4_en_DUMP_ETH_STATS took the *counter mutex* and then called the FW command, with WRAPPED attribute. As a result, the fw command is wrapped on the Hypervisor when it calls mlx4_en_DUMP_ETH_STATS. The FW command wrapper flow on the hypervisor takes the *slave_cmd_mutex* during processing. At the same time, a VF could be in the process of coming up, and could call mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP. On the hypervisor, the command flow takes the *slave_cmd_mutex*, then executes mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP_wrapper. mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP wrapper calls mlx4_get_default_counter_index(), which takes the *counter mutex*. DEADLOCK. The fix is that the DUMP_ETH_STATS fw command should be called with the NATIVE attribute, so that on the hypervisor, this command does not enter the wrapper flow. Since the Hypervisor no longer goes through the wrapper code, we also simply return 0 in mlx4_DUMP_ETH_STATS_wrapper (i.e.the function succeeds, but the returned data will be all zeroes). No need to test if it is the Hypervisor going through the wrapper. Fixes: f9baff50 ("mlx4_core: Add "native" argument to mlx4_cmd ...")
