Even if hostapd configuration file contains VHT parameters, they were not getting reflected in beacons. The reason is we are resetting them before starting AP. This patch removes redundant BSS_STOP and SYS_RESET firmware commands before starting AP to fix the problem. Signed-off-by:

A small bugfix for commit ede6a5e7 ("ath9k: Add QCA956x HW support"). I guess I would have skipped renaming (that initial QCA956x commit has been there already for almost a year with the "5g" in the name) and move the call outside AR_SREV_9462_20_OR_LATER() to make it reachable. Signed-off-by:

For 8897 chipset, mwifiex_usb unnecessarily used to come into picture when wlan is supposed to be used via PCIe interface and USB interface is for bluetooth. This problem has been resolved for newer chipset by having separate USB product ids for USB-USB8997 and PCIe-USB8997 chipset variants. This patch ensures to use wlan specific product id.

We don't have any customer using this chipset via USB interface. if both mwifiex_pcie and mwifiex_usb modules are enabled by user, sometimes mwifiex_usb wins the race even if user wants wlan interface to be on PCIe and USB for bluetooth. This patch solves the problem. Signed-off-by:

The FreeBSD driver [0] uses the same 2G values as for the AR9280 chips. Using the same values in ath9k results in much better throughput for me. Before this patch I had a huge amount of packet loss (sometimes up to 40%) and the max transfer speed was somewhere around 5Mbit/s. With this patch applied I have zero packet loss and ten times the throughput. My device uses a AR9227 which is the PCI variant of the AR9287.

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted, it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are visable to the user. Signed-off-by:

Currently it's possible for someone to send a vlan range to the kernel with the pvid flag set which will result in the pvid bouncing from a vlan to vlan and isn't correct, it also introduces problems for hardware where it doesn't make sense having more than 1 pvid. iproute2 already enforces this, so let's enforce it on kernel-side as well.

Eric W. Biederman says: ==================== net: Pass net into defragmentation This is the next installment of my work to pass struct net through the output path so the code does not need to guess how to figure out which network namespace it is in, and ultimately routes can have output devices in another network namespace. In netfilter and af_packet we defragment packets in the output path, and there is the usual amount of confusion about how to compute which net we are processing the packets in. This patchset clears that confusion up by explicitly passing in struct net in ip_defrag, ip_check_defrag, and nf_ct_frag6_gather. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Eric W. Biederman authored
The function nf_ct_frag6_gather is called on both the input and the output paths of the networking stack. In particular ipv6_defrag which calls nf_ct_frag6_gather is called from both the the PRE_ROUTING chain on input and the LOCAL_OUT chain on output. The addition of a net parameter makes it explicit which network namespace the packets are being reassembled in, and removes the need for nf_ct_frag6_gather to guess. Signed-off-by:

ip_call_ra_chain is called early in the forwarding chain from ip_forward and ip_mr_input, which makes skb->dev the correct expression to get the input network device and dev_net(skb->dev) a correct expression for the network namespace the packet is being processed in.

Recent TCP listener patches exposed a prior af_packet bug : match_fanout_group() blindly assumes it is always safe to cast sk to a packet socket to compare fanout with af_packet_priv But SYNACK packets can be sent while attached to request_sock, which are smaller than a "struct sock". We can read non existent memory and crash.

This patch allows configuring how the source address of ICMP redirect messages is selected; by default the old behaviour is retained, while setting icmp_redirects_use_orig_daddr force the usage of the destination address of the packet that caused the redirect. The new behaviour fits closely the RFC 5798 section 8.1.1, and fix the following scenario: Two machines are set up with VRRP to act as routers out of a subnet, they have IPs x.x.x.1/24 and x.x.x.2/24, with VRRP holding on to x.x.x.254/24. If a host in said subnet needs to get an ICMP redirect from the VRRP router, i.e. to reach a destination behind a different gateway, the source IP in the ICMP redirect is chosen as the primary IP on the interface that the packet arrived at, i.e. x.x.x.1 or x.x.x.2. The host will then ignore said redirect, due to RFC 1122 section 3.2.2.2, and will continue to use the wrong next-op. Signed-off-by:

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp: better smp listener behavior As promised in last patch series, we implement a better SO_REUSEPORT strategy, based on cpu hints if given by the application. We also moved sk_refcnt out of the cache line containing the lookup keys, as it was considerably slowing down smp operations because of false sharing. This was simpler than converting listen sockets to conventional RCU (to avoid sk_refcnt dirtying) Could process 6.0 Mpps SYN instead of 4.2 Mpps on my test server. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Eric Dumazet authored
sk->sk_refcnt is dirtied for every TCP/UDP incoming packet. This is a performance issue if multiple cpus hit a common socket, or multiple sockets are chained due to SO_REUSEPORT. By moving sk_refcnt 8 bytes further, first 128 bytes of sockets are mostly read. As they contain the lookup keys, this has a considerable performance impact, as cpus can cache them. These 8 bytes are not wasted, we use them as a place holder for various fields, depending on the socket type. Tested: SYN flood hitting a 16 RX queues NIC. TCP listener using 16 sockets and SO_REUSEPORT and SO_INCOMING_CPU for proper siloing. Could process 6.0 Mpps SYN instead of 4.2 Mpps Kernel profile looked like : 11.68% [kernel] [k] sha_transform 6.51% [kernel] [k] __inet_lookup_listener 5.07% [kernel] [k] __inet_lookup_established 4.15% [kernel] [k] memcpy_erms 3.46% [kernel] [k] ipt_do_table 2.74% [kernel] [k] fib_table_lookup 2.54% [kernel] [k] tcp_make_synack 2.34% [kernel] [k] tcp_conn_request 2.05% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core 2.03% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_alloc Signed-off-by: -

SO_INCOMING_CPU as added in commit 2c8c56e1 was a getsockopt() command to fetch incoming cpu handling a particular TCP flow after accept() This commits adds setsockopt() support and extends SO_REUSEPORT selection logic : If a TCP listener or UDP socket has this option set, a packet is delivered to this socket only if CPU handling the packet matches the specified one. This allows to build very efficient TCP servers, using one listener per RX queue, as the associated TCP listener should only accept flows handled in softirq by the same cpu. This provides optimal NUMA behavior and keep cpu caches hot. Note that __inet_lookup_listener() still has to iterate over the list of all listeners. Following patch puts sk_refcnt in a different cache line to let this iteration hit only shared and read mostly cache lines. Signed-off-by:

Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== bpf: unprivileged v1-v2: - this set logically depends on cb patch "bpf: fix cb access in socket filter programs": http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/527391/ which is must have to allow unprivileged programs. Thanks Daniel for finding that issue. - refactored sysctl to be similar to 'modules_disabled' - dropped bpf_trace_printk - split tests into separate patch and added more tests based on discussion v1 cover letter: I think it is time to liberate eBPF from CAP_SYS_ADMIN. As was discussed when eBPF was first introduced two years ago the only piece missing in eBPF verifier is 'pointer leak detection' to make it available to non-root users. Patch 1 adds this pointer analysis. The eBPF programs, obviously, need to see and operate on kernel addresses, but with these extra checks they won't be able to pass these addresses to user space. Patch 2 adds accounting of kernel memory used by programs and maps. It changes behavoir for existing root users, but I think it needs to be done consistently for both root and non-root, since today programs and maps are only limited by number of open FDs (RLIMIT_NOFILE). Patch 2 accounts program's and map's kernel memory as RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. Unprivileged eBPF is only meaningful for 'socket filter'-like programs. eBPF programs for tracing and TC classifiers/actions will stay root only. In parallel the bpf fuzzing effort is ongoing and so far we've found only one verifier bug and that was already fixed. The 'constant blinding' pass also being worked on. It will obfuscate constant-like values that are part of eBPF ISA to make jit spraying attacks even harder. ==================== Signed-off-by:

since eBPF programs and maps use kernel memory consider it 'locked' memory from user accounting point of view and charge it against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit. This limit is typically set to 64Kbytes by distros, so almost all bpf+tracing programs would need to increase it, since they use maps, but kernel charges maximum map size upfront. For example the hash map of 1024 elements will be charged as 64Kbyte. It's inconvenient for current users and changes current behavior for root, but probably worth doing to be consistent root vs non-root. Similar accounting logic is done by mmap of perf_event.

In order to let unprivileged users load and execute eBPF programs teach verifier to prevent pointer leaks. Verifier will prevent - any arithmetic on pointers (except R10+Imm which is used to compute stack addresses) - comparison of pointers (except if (map_value_ptr == 0) ... ) - passing pointers to helper functions - indirectly passing pointers in stack to helper functions - returning pointer from bpf program - storing pointers into ctx or maps Spill/fill of pointers into stack is allowed, but mangling of pointers stored in the stack or reading them byte by byte is not. Within bpf programs the pointers do exist, since programs need to be able to access maps, pass skb pointer to LD_ABS insns, etc but programs cannot pass such pointer values to the outside or obfuscate them. Only allow BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER unprivileged programs, so that socket filters (tcpdump), af_packet (quic acceleration) and future kcm can use it. tracing and tc cls/act program types still require root permissions, since tracing actually needs to be able to see all kernel pointers and tc is for root only. For example, the following unprivileged socket filter program is allowed: int bpf_prog1(struct __sk_buff *skb) { u32 index = load_byte(skb, ETH_HLEN + offsetof(struct iphdr, protocol)); u64 *value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&my_map, &index); if (value) *value += skb->len; return 0; } but the following program is not: int bpf_prog1(struct __sk_buff *skb) { u32 index = load_byte(skb, ETH_HLEN + offsetof(struct iphdr, protocol)); u64 *value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&my_map, &index); if (value) *value += (u64) skb; return 0; } since it would leak the kernel address into the map. Unprivileged socket filter bpf programs have access to the following helper functions: - map lookup/update/delete (but they cannot store kernel pointers into them) - get_random (it's already exposed to unprivileged user space) - get_smp_processor_id - tail_call into another socket filter program - ktime_get_ns The feature is controlled by sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled. This toggle defaults to off (0), but can be set true (1). Once true, bpf programs and maps cannot be accessed from unprivileged process, and the toggle cannot be set back to false.

On EF10, MC_CMD_VPORT_RECONFIGURE can cause a CODE_MC_REBOOT event to be sent to a function without incrementing the (adapter-wide) warm_boot_count. In this case, the reboot is not detected by the loop on efx_mcdi_poll_reboot(), so prepare for recovery from an MC reboot anyway. When this codepath is run, the MC has always just rebooted, so this recovery is valid. The loop on efx_mcdi_poll_reboot() is still required for other MC reboot cases, so that actions in response to an MC reboot are performed, such as clearing locally calculated statistics. Siena NICs are unaffected by this change as the above scenario does not apply. Signed-off-by:

This patchset adds the infrastructure and then pushes, as an example, ageing_time attribute down from bridge to switchdev (rocker) driver. Add some range-checking for ageing_time. RTNETLINK answers: Numerical result out of range Up until now, switchdev attrs where port-level attrs, so the netdev used in switchdev_attr_set() would be a switch port or bond of switch ports. With bridge-level attrs, the netdev passed to switchdev_attr_set() is the bridge netdev. The same recusive algo is used to visit the leaves of the stacked drivers to set the attr, it's just in this case we start one layer higher in the stack. One note is not all ports in the bridge may support setting a bridge-level attribute, so rather than failing the entire set, we'll skip over those ports returning -EOPNOTSUPP. v2->v3: Per Jiri review: push only ageing_time attr down at this time, and don't pass raw bridge IFLA_BR_* values; rather use new switchdev attr ID for ageing_time. v1->v2: rebase w/ net-next ==================== Signed-off-by: -
