Currently, peeking on a unix datagram socket with an offset larger than len of the data in the sk receive queue returns immediately with bogus data. That's because *off is not reset between each skb_queue_walk(). This patch fixes this so that the behavior is the same as peeking with no offset on an empty queue: the caller blocks.

"77c1090f net: fix infinite loop in __skb_recv_datagram()" (v3.8) introduced a regression: After that commit, recv can no longer peek beyond a 0-sized skb in the queue. __skb_recv_datagram() instead stops at the first skb with len == 0 and results in the system call failing with -EFAULT via skb_copy_datagram_iovec(). When peeking at an offset with 0-sized skb(s), each one of those is received only once, in sequence. The offset starts moving forward again after receiving datagrams with len > 0.

Change MAC802154_CHAN_NONE from ~(u8)0 to 0xff, or the comparison in mac802154_wpan_xmit() for ``chan == MAC802154_CHAN_NONE'' will not succeed. This bug can be boiled down to ``u8 foo = 0xff; if (foo == ~(u8)0) [...] else [...]'' where the condition will always take the else branch.

In commit 3c5913b5 ("bonding: primary_slave & curr_active_slave are not cleaned on enslave failure") I didn't account for the use of curr_active_slave without curr_slave_lock and since there are such users, we should hold bond->lock for writing while setting it to NULL (in the NULL case we don't need the curr_slave_lock).

Yuval Mintz authored
In scenarios in which a previous driver was removed without proper cleanup (e.g., kdump), it is possible for the chip to generate an interrupt without any apparent reason once interrupts are requested. Due to an erroneous initialization of resources, some of the bnx2x structs which are required for interrupt handling are initialized only after an interface's interrupt is requested from the OS. As a result, once such a spurious interrupt occurs, it will cause a NULL pointer dereference - the driver will access those structs in its interrupt handling routine. This patch change the interrupt request scheme so that bnx2x would only request interrupts from the kernel after it has finished initializing all the inner structs required for interrupt handling.

commit (3be8fbab tuntap: fix error return code in tun_set_iff()) breaks the creation of multiqueue tuntap since it forbids to create more than one queues for a multiqueue tuntap device.

The sockaddr_nfc_llcp struct has as hole between ->sa_family and ->dev_idx so I've added a memset() to clear it and prevent an information leak. Also the ->nfc_protocol element wasn't set so I've added that. "uaddr->sa_family" and "llcp_addr->sa_family" are the same thing but it's less confusing to use llcp_addr consistently throughout.

efx_mcdi_get_board_cfg() uses a buffer for the firmware response that is only large enough to hold subtypes for the originally defined set of NVRAM partitions. Longer responses are truncated, and we may read off the end of the buffer when copying out subtypes for additional partitions. In particular, this can result in the MTD partition for an FPGA bitfile being named e.g. 'eth5 sfc_fpga:00' when it should be 'eth5 sfc_fpga:01'. This means the firmware update tool (sfupdate) can't tell which bitfile should be written to the partition. Correct the response buffer size.

BE3 HW in UMC mode could wrongly double tag a packet with PVID when the packet already has a inlined VLAN tag. In UMC mode, When HW finds that a packet is already VLAN tagged PVID should not be inserted into the packet. To fix this use the FW hack to instruct the HW to skip PVID tagging.

The ASIC could lockup in the transmit path when it tries to insert VLAN in a specific ipv6 packet. 1) Identify the packet which can cause this. 2) Check if the firmware provides a workaround to prevent this. 3) If workaround is not present, drop the packet. 4) If the firmware provides a workaround, insert the VLAN tag in the packet and inform the firmware to skip further VLAN insertions.

Unicast packet might be of type either UNICAST or UNICAST4ADDR. In the two cases the header size is different, but the mechanism checking the TTVN field was assuming it to be always of the same type (UNICAST), so failing to access the inner Ethernet header in case of UNICAST4ADDR. Fix this by passing the real header length as argument. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>

Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin: "The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle. This is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual in many places.) After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon, but of course it is now very late in the cycle. However, because it changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken interfaces." I'm not happy with the timing, since originally the plan was to release the final 3.9 tomorrow.

Commit 257b5358 ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm sender") changed the credentials passing code to pass in the effective uid/gid instead of the real uid/gid. Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong uid/gid ends up being used. This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit. Reported-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Serge E.

For each CPU vendor that implements CPU microcode patching, there will be a minimum family for which this is implemented. Verify this minimum level of support. This can be done in the dispatch function or early in the application functions. Doing the latter turned out to be somewhat awkward because of the ineviable split between the BSP and the AP paths, and rather than pushing deep into the application functions, do this in the dispatch function.

If one does do something unfortunate and allow a bad offload bug into the kernel, this the skb_warn_bad_offload can effectively live-lock the system, filling the logs with the same error over and over. Add rate limitation to this so that box remains otherwise functional in this case. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When building ax88796 on an ARM platform with 64-bit resource_size_t, we currently get drivers/net/ethernet/8390/ax88796.c:875: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod' because we do a division on the length of the MMIO resource. Since we know that this resource is very short, using an "unsigned long" instead of "resource_size_t" is entirely sufficient, and avoids this link-time error.
