The logic for dynamic ITR update is confusing at best as there were odd paths chosen for how to find the rings associated with a given queue based on the vector index and other inconsistencies throughout the code. This patch is an attempt to clean up the logic so that we can more easily understand what is going on. Specifically if there is a Rx or Tx ring that is enabled in dynamic mode on the q_vector it is allowed to override the other side of the interrupt moderation. While it isn't correct all this patch is doing is cleaning up the logic for now so that when we come through and fix it we can more easily identify that this is wrong. The other big change made here is that we replace references to: vsi->rx_rings[q_vector->v_idx]->itr_setting with: q_vector->rx.ring->itr_setting The general idea is we can avoid the long pointer chase since just accessing q_vector->rx.ring is a single pointer access versus having to chase down vsi->rx_rings, and then finding the pointer in the array, and finally chasing down the itr_setting from there.

The rings are already split out into Tx and Rx rings so it doesn't make sense to have any single ring store both a Tx and Rx itr_setting value. Since that is the case drop the pair in favor of storing just a single ITR value.

When SCTP makes INIT or INIT_ACK packet the total chunk length can exceed SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN which leads to kernel panic when transmitting these packets, e.g. the crash on sending INIT_ACK: [ 597.804948] skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:00000000ffae06e4 len:120168 put:120156 head:000000007aa47635 data:00000000d991c2de tail:0x1d640 end:0xfec0 dev:<NULL> ...

Here the chunk size for INIT_ACK packet becomes too big, mostly because of the state cookie (INIT packet has large size with many address parameters), plus additional server parameters. Later this chunk causes the panic in skb_put_data(): skb_packet_transmit() sctp_packet_pack() skb_put_data(nskb, chunk->skb->data, chunk->skb->len); 'nskb' (head skb) was previously allocated with packet->size from u16 'chunk->chunk_hdr->length'. As suggested by Marcelo we should check the chunk's length in _sctp_make_chunk() before trying to allocate skb for it and discard a chunk if its size bigger than SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN.

For a memory range/skb where the last byte falls onto a page boundary (ie. 'end' is of the form xxx...xxx001), the PFN_UP() part of the calculation currently doesn't round up to the next PFN due to an off-by-one error. Thus qeth believes that the skb occupies one page less than it actually does, and may select a IO buffer that doesn't have enough spare buffer elements to fit all of the skb's data. HW detects this as a malformed buffer descriptor, and raises an exception which then triggers device recovery.

For dwmac4, GMAC_INT_DEFAULT_ENABLE already includes GMAC_INT_PMT_EN, so it is redundant to check if hw->pmt is set, and if so, setting the bit again. For dwmac1000, GMAC_INT_DEFAULT_MASK does not include GMAC_INT_DISABLE_PMT, so it is redundant to check if hw->pmt is set, and if so, clearing an already cleared bit.

The interrupt status register in both dwmac1000 and dwmac4 ignores interrupt enable (for dwmac4) / interrupt mask (for dwmac1000). Therefore, if we want to check only the bits that can actually trigger an irq, we have to filter the interrupt status register manually. Commit 0a764db1 ("stmmac: Discard masked flags in interrupt status register") fixed this for dwmac1000. Fix the same issue for dwmac4. Just like commit 0a764db1 ("stmmac: Discard masked flags in interrupt status register"), this makes sure that we do not get spurious link up/link down prints.

When allocating RX or TX buffer pools, the driver needs to provide a unique mapping ID to firmware for each pool. This value is assigned using a counter which is incremented after a new pool is created. The ID can be an integer ranging from 1-255. When migrating to a device that requests a different number of queues, this value was not being reset properly. As a result, after enough migrations, the counter exceeded the upper bound and pool creation failed. This is fixed by resetting the counter to one in this case.

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf 2018-02-09 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree. The main changes are: 1) Two fixes for BPF sockmap in order to break up circular map references from programs attached to sockmap, and detaching related sockets in case of socket close() event. For the latter we get rid of the smap_state_change() and plug into ULP infrastructure, which will later also be used for additional features anyway such as TX hooks. For the second issue, dependency chain is broken up via map release callback to free parse/verdict programs, all from John. 2) Fix a libbpf relocation issue that was found while implementing XDP support for Suricata project. Issue was that when clang was invoked with default target instead of bpf target, then various other e.g. debugging relevant sections are added to the ELF file that contained relocation entries pointing to non-BPF related sections which libbpf trips over instead of skipping them. Test cases for libbpf are added as well, from Jesper. 3) Various misc fixes for bpftool and one for libbpf: a small addition to libbpf to make sure it recognizes all standard section prefixes. Then, the Makefile in bpftool/Documentation is improved to explicitly check for rst2man being installed on the system as we otherwise risk installing empty man pages; the man page for bpftool-map is corrected and a set of missing bash completions added in order to avoid shipping bpftool where the completions are only partially working, from Quentin. 4) Fix applying the relocation to immediate load instructions in the nfp JIT which were missing a shift, from Jakub. 5) Two fixes for the BPF kernel selftests: handle CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y gracefully in test_bpf.ko module and mark them as FLAG_EXPECTED_FAIL in this case; and explicitly delete the veth devices in the two tests test_xdp_{meta,redirect}.sh before dismantling the netnses as when selftests are run in batch mode, then workqueue to handle destruction might not have finished yet and thus veth creation in next test under same dev name would fail, from Yonghong. 6) Fix test_kmod.sh to check the test_bpf.ko module path before performing an insmod, and fallback to modprobe. Especially the latter is useful when having a device under test that has the modules installed instead, from Naresh. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens: "The main thing in this merge is the defense for the Spectre vulnerabilities. But there are other updates as well, the changes in more detail: - An s390 specific implementation of the array_index_mask_nospec function to the defense against spectre v1 - Two patches to utilize the new PPA-12/PPA-13 instructions to run the kernel and/or user space with reduced branch predicton. - The s390 variant of the 'retpoline' spectre v2 defense called 'expoline'. There is no return instruction for s390, instead an indirect branch is used for function return The s390 defense mechanism for indirect branches works by using an execute-type instruction with the indirect branch as the target of the execute. In effect that turns off the prediction for the indirect branch. - Scrub registers in entry.S that contain user controlled values to prevent the speculative use of these values. - Re-add the second parameter for the s390 specific runtime instrumentation system call and move the header file to uapi. The second parameter will continue to do nothing but older kernel versions only accepted valid real-time signal numbers. The details will be documented in the man-page for the system call. - Corrections and improvements for the s390 specific documentation - Add a line to /proc/sysinfo to display the CPU model dependent license-internal-code identifier - A header file include fix for eadm. - An error message fix in the kprobes code. - The removal of an outdated ARCH_xxx select statement" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: s390/kconfig: Remove ARCH_WANTS_PROT_NUMA_PROT_NONE select s390: introduce execute-trampolines for branches s390: run user space and KVM guests with modified branch prediction s390: add options to change branch prediction behaviour for the kernel s390/alternative: use a copy of the facility bit mask s390: add optimized array_index_mask_nospec s390: scrub registers on kernel entry and KVM exit s390/cio: fix kernel-doc usage s390/runtime_instrumentation: re-add signum system call parameter s390/cpum_cf: correct counter number of LAST_HOST_TRANSLATIONS s390/kprobes: Fix %p uses in error messages s390/runtime instrumentation: provide uapi header file s390/sysinfo: add and display licensed internal code identifier s390/docs: reword airq section s390/docs: mention subchannel types s390/cmf: fix kerneldoc s390/eadm: fix CONFIG_BLOCK include dependency

The omapfb driver fails to build after commit 23c35f48 ("pinctrl: remove include file from <linux/device.h>") because it relies on the <linux/pinctrl/consumer.h> and <linux/seq_file.h> being pulled in by the <linux/device.h> header implicitly. Include these headers explicitly to avoid the build failures.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer says: ==================== While playing with using libbpf for the Suricata project, we had issues LLVM >= 4.0.1 generating ELF files that could not be loaded with libbpf (tools/lib/bpf/). During the troubleshooting phase, I wrote a test program and improved the debugging output in libbpf. I turned this into a selftests program, and it also serves as a code example for libbpf in itself. I discovered that there are at least three ELF load issues with libbpf. I left them as TODO comments in (tools/testing/selftests/bpf) test_libbpf.sh. I've only fixed the load issue with eh_frames, and other types of relo-section that does not have exec flags. We can work on the other issues later. ==================== Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

V3: More generic skipping of relo-section (suggested by Daniel) If clang >= 4.0.1 is missing the option '-target bpf', it will cause llc/llvm to create two ELF sections for "Exception Frames", with section names '.eh_frame' and '.rel.eh_frame'. The BPF ELF loader library libbpf fails when loading files with these sections. The other in-kernel BPF ELF loader in samples/bpf/bpf_load.c, handle this gracefully. And iproute2 loader also seems to work with these "eh" sections. The issue in libbpf is caused by bpf_object__elf_collect() skipping some sections, and later when performing relocation it will be pointing to a skipped section, as these sections cannot be found by bpf_object__find_prog_by_idx() in bpf_object__collect_reloc(). This is a general issue that also occurs for other sections, like debug sections which are also skipped and can have relo section. As suggested by Daniel. To avoid keeping state about all skipped sections, instead perform a direct qlookup in the ELF object. Lookup the section that the relo-section points to and check if it contains executable machine instructions (denoted by the sh_flags SHF_EXECINSTR). Use this check to also skip irrelevant relo-sections. Note, for samples/bpf/ the '-target bpf' parameter to clang cannot be used due to incompatibility with asm embedded headers, that some of the samples include. This is explained in more details by Yonghong Song in bpf_devel_QA. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

This script test_libbpf.sh will be part of the 'make run_tests' invocation, but can also be invoked manually in this directory, and a verbose mode can be enabled via setting the environment variable $VERBOSE like: $ VERBOSE=yes ./test_libbpf.sh The script contains some tests that are commented out, as they currently fail. They are reminders about what we need to improve for the libbpf loader library. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

V2: Moved program into selftests/bpf from tools/libbpf This program can be used on its own for testing/debugging if a BPF ELF-object file can be loaded with libbpf (from tools/lib/bpf). If something is wrong with the ELF object, the program have a --debug mode that will display the ELF sections and especially the skipped sections. This allows for quickly identifying the problematic ELF section number, which can be corrolated with the readelf tool. The program signal error via return codes, and also have a --quiet mode, which is practical for use in scripts like selftests/bpf.

While debugging a bpf ELF loading issue, I needed to correlate the ELF section number with the failed relocation section reference. Thus, add section numbers/index to the pr_debug. In debug mode, also print section that were skipped. This helped me identify that a section (.eh_frame) was skipped, and this was the reason the relocation section (.rel.eh_frame) could not find that section number. The section numbers corresponds to the readelf tools Section Headers [Nr]. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

I recently fixed up a lot of commits that forgot to keep the tooling headers in sync. And then I forgot to do the same thing in commit cb5f7334 ("bpf: add comments to BPF ld/ldx sizes"). Let correct that before people notice ;-). Lawrence did partly fix/sync this for bpf.h in commit d6d4f60c ("bpf: add selftest for tcpbpf").
