Pablo Neira Ayuso says: =================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following batch contains Netfilter updates for net-next, they are: 1) Move nft_expr_clone() to nft_dynset, from Paul Gortmaker. 2) Do not include module.h from net/netfilter/nf_tables.h, also from Paul. 3) Restrict conntrack sysctl entries to boolean, from Tonghao Zhang. 4) Several patches to add infrastructure to autoload NAT helper modules from their respective conntrack helper, this also includes the first client of this code in OVS, patches from Flavio Leitner. 5) Add support to match for conntrack ID, from Brett Mastbergen. 6) Spelling fix in connlabel, from Colin Ian King. 7) Use struct_size() from hashlimit, from Gustavo A. R. Silva. 8) Add optimized version of nf_inet_addr_mask(), from Li RongQing. =================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version in order to avoid any potential type mistakes, in particular in the context in which this code is being used. So, replace code of the following form: sizeof(struct xt_hashlimit_htable) + sizeof(struct hlist_head) * size with: struct_size(hinfo, hash, size) This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

This commit makes the kernel not send the next queued HCI command until a command complete arrives for the last HCI command sent to the controller. This change avoids a problem with some buggy controllers (seen on two SKUs of QCA9377) that send an extra command complete event for the previous command after the kernel had already sent a new HCI command to the controller. The problem was reproduced when starting an active scanning procedure, where an extra command complete event arrives for the LE_SET_RANDOM_ADDR command. When this happends the kernel ends up not processing the command complete for the following commmand, LE_SET_SCAN_PARAM, and ultimately behaving as if a passive scanning procedure was being performed, when in fact controller is performing an active scanning procedure. This makes it impossible to discover BLE devices as no device found events are sent to userspace. This problem is reproducible on 100% of the attempts on the affected controllers. The extra command complete event can be seen at timestamp 27.420131 on the btmon logs bellow.

The code works fine but the problem is that check for negatives is a no-op: if (arg < 0) i = 0; The "i" value isn't used. We immediately overwrite it with: i = array_index_nospec(arg, MAX_LEC_ITF); The array_index_nospec() macro returns zero if "arg" is out of bounds so this works, but the dead code is confusing and it doesn't look very intentional.

Similar to the cached routes, make IPv4 exceptions accessible when using an IPv6 nexthop struct with IPv4 routes. Simplify the exception functions by passing in fib_nh_common since that is all it needs, and then cleanup the call sites that have extraneous fib_nh conversions. As with the cached routes this is a change in location only, from fib_nh up to fib_nh_common; no functional change intended.

Michal Kubecek says: ==================== netlink: strict attribute checking follow-up Three follow-up patches for recent strict netlink validation series. Patch 1 fixes dump handling for genetlink families which validate and parse messages themselves (e.g. because they need different policies for diferent commands). Patch 2 sets bad_attr in extack in one place where this was omitted. Patch 3 adds new NL_VALIDATE_NESTED flags for strict validation to enable checking that NLA_F_NESTED value in received messages matches expectations and includes this flag in NL_VALIDATE_STRICT.

Unlike do requests, dump genetlink requests now perform strict validation by default even if the genetlink family does not set policy and maxtype because it does validation and parsing on its own (e.g. because it wants to allow different message format for different commands). While the null policy will be ignored, maxtype (which would be zero) is still checked so that any attribute will fail validation. The solution is to only call __nla_validate() from genl_family_rcv_msg() if family->maxtype is set.

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Firmware version update This patchset updates mlxsw to use a new firmware version and adds support for split into two ports on Spectrum-2 based systems. Patch #1 updates the firmware version to 13.2000.1122 Patch #2 queries new resources from the firmware. Patch #3 makes use of these resources in order to support split into two ports on Spectrum-2 based systems. The need for these resources is explained by Shalom: When splitting a port, different local ports need to be mapped on different systems. For example: SN3700 (local_ports_in_2x=2): * Without split: front panel 1 --> local port 1 front panel 2 --> local port 5 * Split to 2: front panel 1s0 --> local port 1 front panel 1s1 --> local port 3 front panel 2 --> local port 5 SN3800 (local_ports_in_2x=1): * Without split: front panel 1 --> local port 1 front panel 2 --> local port 3 * Split to 2: front panel 1s0 --> local port 1 front panel 1s1 --> local port 2 front panel 2 --> local port 3 The local_ports_in_{1x, 2x} resources provide the offsets from the base local ports according to which the new local ports can be calculated. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

TIPC link can temporarily fall into "half-establish" that only one of the link endpoints is ESTABLISHED and starts to send traffic, PROTOCOL messages, whereas the other link endpoint is not up (e.g. immediately when the endpoint receives ACTIVATE_MSG, the network interface goes down...). This is a normal situation and will be settled because the link endpoint will be eventually brought down after the link tolerance time. However, the situation will become worse when the second link is established before the first link endpoint goes down, For example: 1. Both links <1A-2A>, <1B-2B> down 2. Link endpoint 2A up, but 1A still down (e.g. due to network disturbance, wrong session, etc.) 3. Link <1B-2B> up 4. Link endpoint 2A down (e.g. due to link tolerance timeout) 5. Node B starts failover onto link <1B-2B> ==> Node A does never start link failover. When the "half-failover" situation happens, two consequences have been observed: a) Peer link/node gets stuck in FAILINGOVER state; b) Traffic or user messages that peer node is trying to failover onto the second link can be partially or completely dropped by this node. The consequence a) was actually solved by commit c140eb16 ("tipc: fix failover problem"), but that commit didn't cover the b). It's due to the fact that the tunnel link endpoint has never been prepared for a failover, so the 'l->drop_point' (and the other data...) is not set correctly. When a TUNNEL_MSG from peer node arrives on the link, depending on the inner message's seqno and the current 'l->drop_point' value, the message can be dropped (- treated as a duplicate message) or processed. At this early stage, the traffic messages from peer are likely to be NAME_DISTRIBUTORs, this means some name table entries will be missed on the node forever! The commit resolves the issue by starting the FAILOVER process on this node as well. Another benefit from this solution is that we ensure the link will not be re-established until the failover ends.
