Bridge vlan code (br_vlan_get_tag()) assumes that all frames have vlan_tci if they are tagged, but if vlan tx offload is manually disabled on bridge device and frames are sent from vlan device on the bridge device, the tags are embedded in skb->data and they break this assumption. Extract embedded vlan tags and move them to vlan_tci at ingress. Signed-off-by: Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki@lab.ntt.co.jp> Acked-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

vhost fails to validate negative error code from vhost_get_vq_desc causing a crash: we are using -EFAULT which is 0xfffffff2 as vector size, which exceeds the allocated size.

When mergeable buffers are disabled, and the incoming packet is too large for the rx buffer, get_rx_bufs returns success. This was intentional in order for make recvmsg truncate the packet and then handle_rx would detect err != sock_len and drop it. Unfortunately we pass the original sock_len to recvmsg - which means we use parts of iov not fully validated. Fix this up by detecting this overrun and doing packet drop immediately.

Commit 4af712e8 ("random32: add prandom_reseed_late() and call when nonblocking pool becomes initialized") has added a late reseed stage that happens as soon as the nonblocking pool is marked as initialized. This fails in the case that the nonblocking pool gets initialized during __prandom_reseed()'s call to get_random_bytes(). In that case we'd double back into __prandom_reseed() in an attempt to do a late reseed - deadlocking on 'lock' early on in the boot process. Instead, just avoid even waiting to do a reseed if a reseed is already occuring.

skb_zerocopy can copy elements of the frags array between skbs, but it doesn't orphan them. Also, it doesn't handle errors, so this patch takes care of that as well, and modify the callers accordingly. skb_tx_error() is also added to the callers so they will signal the failed delivery towards the creator of the skb.

Currently, if the card supports CTAG acceleration we do not account for the vlan header even if we are configuring an 8021AD vlan.

Current error handling of virtqueue_kick() was wrong in two places: - The skb were freed immediately when virtqueue_kick() fail during xmit. This may lead double free since the skb was not detached from the virtqueue. - try_fill_recv() returns false when virtqueue_kick() fail. This will lead unnecessary rescheduling of refill work. Actually, it's safe to just ignore the kick failure in those two places. So this patch fixes this by partially revert commit 67975901.

Some applications didn't expect recvmsg() on a non blocking socket could return -EINTR. This possibility was added as a side effect of commit b3ca9b02 ("net: fix multithreaded signal handling in unix recv routines").

The mvneta driver currently uses of_iomap(), which has two drawbacks: it doesn't request the resource, and it isn't devm-style so some error handling is needed. This commit switches to use devm_ioremap_resource() instead, which automatically requests the resource (so the I/O registers region shows up properly in /proc/iomem), and also is devm-style, which allows to get rid of some error handling to unmap the I/O registers region.

Commit 5445eaf3 ('mvneta: Try to fix mvneta when compiled as module') fixed the mvneta driver to make it work properly when loaded as a module in SGMII configuration, which was tested successful by the author on the Armada XP OpenBlocks AX3, which uses SGMII. However, it turns out that the Armada XP GP, which uses RGMII, is affected by a similar problem: its SERDES configuration is lost when mvneta is loaded as a module, because this configuration is set by the bootloader, and then lost because the clock is gated by the clock framework until the mvneta driver is loaded again and the clock is re-enabled. However, it turns out that for the RGMII case, setting the SERDES configuration is not sufficient: the PCS enable bit in the MVNETA_GMAC_CTRL_2 register must also be set, like in the SGMII configuration. Therefore, this commit reworks the SGMII/RGMII initialization: the only difference between the two now is a different SERDES configuration, all the rest is identical. In detail, to achieve this, the commit: * Renames MVNETA_SGMII_SERDES_CFG to MVNETA_SERDES_CFG because it is not specific to SGMII, but also used on RGMII configurations. * Adds a MVNETA_RGMII_SERDES_PROTO definition, that must be used as the MVNETA_SERDES_CFG value in RGMII configurations. * Removes the mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() and mvneta_port_sgmii_config() functions, and instead directly do the SGMII/RGMII configuration in mvneta_port_up(), from where those functions where called. It is worth mentioning that mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() had an 'enable' parameter that was always passed as '1', so it was pretty useless. * Reworks the mvneta_port_up() function to set the MVNETA_SERDES_CFG register to the appropriate value depending on the RGMII vs. SGMII configuration. It also unconditionally set the PCS_ENABLE bit (was already done for SGMII, but is now also needed for RGMII), and sets the PORT_RGMII bit (which was already done for both SGMII and RGMII). This commit was successfully tested with mvneta compiled as a module, on both the OpenBlocks AX3 (SGMII configuration) and the Armada XP GP (RGMII configuration).

The VXLAN neigh_reduce() code is completely non-functional since check-in. Specific errors: 1) The original code drops all packets with a multicast destination address, even though neighbor solicitations are sent to the solicited-node address, a multicast address. The code after this check was never run. 2) The neighbor table lookup used the IPv6 header destination, which is the solicited node address, rather than the target address from the neighbor solicitation. So neighbor lookups would always fail if it got this far. Also for L3MISSes. 3) The code calls ndisc_send_na(), which does a send on the tunnel device. The context for neigh_reduce() is the transmit path, vxlan_xmit(), where the host or a bridge-attached neighbor is trying to transmit a neighbor solicitation. To respond to it, the tunnel endpoint needs to do a *receive* of the appropriate neighbor advertisement. Doing a send, would only try to send the advertisement, encapsulated, to the remote destinations in the fdb -- hosts that definitely did not do the corresponding solicitation. 4) The code uses the tunnel endpoint IPv6 forwarding flag to determine the isrouter flag in the advertisement. This has nothing to do with whether or not the target is a router, and generally won't be set since the tunnel endpoint is bridging, not routing, traffic. The patch below creates a proxy neighbor advertisement to respond to neighbor solicitions as intended, providing proper IPv6 support for neighbor reduction.

Christian Riesch says: ==================== net: davinci_emac: Fix interrupt requests and error handling since commit 6892b41d (Linux 3.11) the davinci_emac driver is broken. After doing ifconfig down, ifconfig up, requesting the interrupts for the driver fails. The interface remains dead until the board is rebooted. The first patch in this patchset reverts commit 6892b41d partially and makes the driver useable again. During the work on the first patch, a number of bugs in the error handling of the driver's ndo_open code were found. The second patch fixes these bugs. I believe the first patch meets the rules for stable kernels, I therefore added the stable tag to this patch. The second patch is just cleanup, the code that is fixed by this patch is only executed in case of an error. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

If an error occurs during the initialization in emac_dev_open() (the driver's ndo_open function), interrupts, DMA descriptors etc. must be freed. The current rollback code is buggy in several ways. 1) Freeing the interrupts. The current code will not free all interrupts that were requested by the driver. Furthermore, the code tries to do a platform_get_resource(priv->pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, -1) in its last iteration. This patch fixes these bugs. 2) Wrong order of err: and rollback: labels. If the setup of the PHY in the code fails, the interrupts that have been requested before are not freed: request irq if requesting irqs fails, goto rollback setup phy if phy setup fails, goto err return 0 rollback: free irqs err: This patch brings the code into the correct order. 3) The code calls napi_enable() and emac_int_enable(), but does not undo both in case of an error. This patch adds calls of emac_int_disable() and napi_disable() to the rollback code. 4) RX DMA descriptors are not freed in case of an error: Right before requesting the irqs, the function creates DMA descriptors for the RX channel. These RX descriptors are never freed when we jump to either rollback or err. This patch adds code for freeing the DMA descriptors in the case of an initialization error. This required a modification of cpdma_ctrl_stop() in davinci_cpdma.c: We must be able to call this function to free the DMA descriptors while the DMA channels are in IDLE state (before cpdma_ctlr_start() was called).

But since interrupts are requested in emac_dev_open, doing ifconfig up/down on the board requests the interrupts again each time, causing devm_request_irq to fail. The interface is dead until the device is rebooted. This patch reverts said commit partially: It changes the driver back to use request_irq instead of devm_request_irq, puts free_irq back in place, but keeps the remaining changes of the original patch.

In arch_cpu_idle() we must enable %pil based interrupts before potentially invoking the hypervisor cpu yield call. As per the Hypervisor API documentation for cpu_yield: Interrupts which are blocked by some mechanism other that pstate.ie (for example %pil) are not guaranteed to cause a return from this service. It seems that only first generation Niagara chips are hit by this bug. My best guess is that later chips implement this in hardware and wake up anyways from %pil events, whereas in first generation chips the yield is implemented completely in hypervisor code and requires %pil to be enabled in order to wake properly from this call.

We seem to be nearly the only platform which does not provide the sys_utimes syscall. Adding it now makes our life much easier with userspace applications (like dietlibc and e2fsprogs) since we then behave like all other platforms too and don't need extra patches which are hard to get upstream anyway because we are not a mainstream architecture.

The attached change removes the unused and experimental CONFIG_PARISC_TMPALIAS code. It doesn't work and I don't believe it will ever be used. Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

We can get false negative from __lookup_mnt() if an unrelated vfsmount gets moved. In that case legitimize_mnt() is guaranteed to fail, and we will fall back to non-RCU walk... unless we end up running into a hard error on a filesystem object we wouldn't have reached if not for that false negative. IOW, delaying that check until the end of pathname resolution is wrong - we should recheck right after we attempt to cross the mountpoint. We don't need to recheck unless we see d_mountpoint() being true - in that case even if we have just raced with mount/umount, we can simply go on as if we'd come at the moment when the sucker wasn't a mountpoint; if we run into a hard error as the result, it was a legitimate outcome. __lookup_mnt() returning NULL is different in that respect, since it might've happened due to operation on completely unrelated mountpoint.

In all callchains leading to prepend_name(), the value left in *buflen is eventually discarded unused if prepend_name() has returned a negative. So we are free to do what prepend() does, and subtract from *buflen *before* checking for underflow (which turns into checking the sign of subtraction result, of course).

Commit bd2a31d5 ("get rid of fget_light()") introduced the __fdget_pos() function, which returns the resulting file pointer and fdput flags combined in an 'unsigned long'. However, it also changed the behavior to return files with FMODE_PATH set, which shouldn't happen because read(), write(), lseek(), etc. aren't allowed on such files. This commit restores the old behavior. This regression actually had no effect on read() and write() since FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE are not set on file descriptors opened with O_PATH, but it did cause lseek() on a file descriptor opened with O_PATH to fail with ESPIPE rather than EBADF.
