Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_main.c drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/mac80211_if.c include/net/scm.h net/batman-adv/routing.c net/ipv4/tcp_input.c The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around. The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next. An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that code. Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first argument. Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes. Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several of these merge resolutions. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This driver uses the crummy "| foo" style, putting the logical operation at the beginning of lines. Then when the VLAN tag flag bits got changed the operator ended up at both the end and the beginning of some lines. Fix the build error by having it uniformly use the operator at the end of the line.

struct sctp_packet is currently embedded into sctp_transport or sits on the stack as 'singleton' in sctp_outq_flush(). Therefore, its member 'malloced' is always 0, thus a kfree() is never called. Because of that, we can just remove this code. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Allow L2 redirection when VXLAN L3 switching is enabled This patch restricts L3 switching to destination MAC addresses that are marked as routers in order to allow virtual IP appliances that do L2 redirection to function with VXLAN L3 switching enabled. We use L3 switching on VXLAN networks to avoid extra hops when the nominal router for cross-subnet traffic for a VM is remote and the ultimate destination may be local, or closer to the local node. Currently, the destination IP address takes precedence over the MAC address in all cases. Some network appliances receive packets for a virtualized IP address and redirect by changing the destination MAC address (only) to be the final destination for packet processing. VXLAN tunnel endpoints with L3 switching enabled may then overwrite this destination MAC address based on the packet IP address, resulting in potential loops and, at least, breaking L2 redirections that travel through tunnel endpoints. This patch limits L3 switching to the intended case where the original destination MAC address is a next-hop router and relies on the destination MAC address for all other cases, thus allowing L2 redirection and L3 switching to coexist peacefully.

Some frontend drivers are sending packets > 64 KiB in length. This length overflows the length field in the first slot making the following slots have an invalid length. Turn this error back into a non-fatal error by dropping the packet. To avoid having the following slots having fatal errors, consume all slots in the packet. This does not reopen the security hole in XSA-39 as if the packet as an invalid number of slots it will still hit fatal error case.

This patch tries to coalesce tx requests when constructing grant copy structures. It enables netback to deal with situation when frontend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS is larger than backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS. With the help of coalescing, this patch tries to address two regressions avoid reopening the security hole in XSA-39. Regression 1. The reduction of the number of supported ring entries (slots) per packet (from 18 to 17). This regression has been around for some time but remains unnoticed until XSA-39 security fix. This is fixed by coalescing slots. Regression 2. The XSA-39 security fix turning "too many frags" errors from just dropping the packet to a fatal error and disabling the VIF. This is fixed by coalescing slots (handling 18 slots when backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS is 17) which rules out false positive (using 18 slots is legit) and dropping packets using 19 to `max_skb_slots` slots. To avoid reopening security hole in XSA-39, frontend sending packet using more than max_skb_slots is considered malicious. The behavior of netback for packet is thus: 1-18 slots: valid 19-max_skb_slots slots: drop and respond with an error max_skb_slots+ slots: fatal error max_skb_slots is configurable by admin, default value is 20. Also change variable name from "frags" to "slots" in netbk_count_requests. Please note that RX path still has dependency on MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This will be fixed with separate patch.

The maximum packet including header that can be handled by netfront / netback wire format is 65535. Reduce gso_max_size accordingly. Drop skb and print warning when skb->len > 65535.

This patch sets the coherent DMA mask to 64-bit after the be2net driver has been acknowledged that the system is 64-bit DMA capable. The coherent DMA mask is examined by the Intel IOMMU driver to determine whether to allow pass through context mapping for all devices. With this patch, the be2net driver combined with be2net compatible hardware provides comparable performance to the case where vt-d is disabled. The main use-case for this change is to decrease the time necessary to copy virtual machine memory during KVM live migration instantiations. This patch was tested on a system that enables the IOMMU in non-coherent mode. Two DMA remapper issues were encountered in the previous version and both patches have been committed. commit ea2447f7 commit 2e12bc29Signed-off-by: Craig Hada <craig.hada@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Sathya Perla <sathya.perla@emulex.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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."

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.
