Using of_find_device_by_node() restricts the search to platform_device that match the specified device_node pointer. This is not even remotely true for network devices backed by a pci_device for instance. of_find_net_device_by_node() allows us to do a more thorough lookup to find the struct net_device corresponding to a particular device_node pointer. For symetry with the non-OF code path, we hold the net_device pointer in dsa_probe() just like what dev_to_net_dev() does when we call this function.

Add a helper function which allows getting the struct net_device pointer associated with a given struct device_node pointer. This is useful for instance for DSA Ethernet devices not backed by a platform_device, but a PCI device. Since we need to access net_class which is not accessible outside of net/core/net-sysfs.c, this helper function is also added here and gated with CONFIG_OF_NET. Network devices initialized with SET_NETDEV_DEV() are also taken into account by checking for dev->parent first and then falling back to checking the device pointer within struct net_device.

It also contains fixes to ftrace when /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled and function tracing are started. Doing the following causes some issues: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer As well as with function tracing too. Pratyush Anand first reported this issue to me and supplied a patch. When I tested this on my x86 test box, it caused thousands of backtraces and warnings to appear in dmesg, which also caused a denial of service (a warning for every function that was listed). I applied Pratyush's patch but it did not fix the issue for me. I looked into it and found a slight problem with trampoline accounting. I fixed it and sent Pratyush a patch, but he said that it did not fix the issue for him. I later learned tha Pratyush was using an ARM64 server, and when I tested on my ARM board, I was able to reproduce the same issue as Pratyush. After applying his patch, it fixed the problem. The above test uncovered two different bugs, one in x86 and one in ARM and ARM64. As this looked like it would affect PowerPC, I tested it on my PPC64 box. It too broke, but neither the patch that fixed ARM or x86 fixed this box (the changes were all in generic code!). The above test, uncovered two more bugs that affected PowerPC. Again, the changes were only done to generic code. It's the way the arch code expected things to be done that was different between the archs. Some where more sensitive than others.

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo: "One fix patch for a subtle livelock condition which can happen on PREEMPT_NONE kernels involving two racing cancel_work calls. Whoever comes in the second has to wait for the previous one to finish. This was implemented by making the later one block for the same condition that the former would be (work item completion) and then loop and retest; unfortunately, depending on the wake up order, the later one could lock out the former one to finish by busy looping on the cpu. This is fixed by implementing explicit wait mechanism. Work item might not belong anywhere at this point and there's remote possibility of thundering herd problem. I originally tried to use bit_waitqueue but it didn't work for static work items on modules. It's currently using single wait queue with filtering wake up function and exclusive wakeup. If this ever becomes a problem, which is not very likely, we can try to figure out a way to piggy back on bit_waitqueue" * 'for-4.0-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: fix hang involving racing cancel[_delayed]_work_sync()'s for PREEMPT_NONE

Jon Paul Maloy authored
In commit c637c103 ("tipc: resolve race problem at unicast message reception") we introduced a new mechanism for delivering buffers upwards from link to socket layer. That code contains a bug in how we handle the new link input queue during failover. When a link is reset, some of its users may be blocked because of congestion, and in order to resolve this, we add any pending wakeup pseudo messages to the link's input queue, and deliver them to the socket. This misses the case where the other, remaining link also may have congested users. Currently, the owner node's reference to the remaining link's input queue is unconditionally overwritten by the reset link's input queue. This has the effect that wakeup events from the remaining link may be unduely delayed (but not lost) for a potentially long period. We fix this by adding the pending events from the reset link to the input queue that is currently referenced by the node, whichever one it is. This commit should be applied to both net and net-next.

Francesco Ruggeri authored
When an interface is deleted from a net namespace the ifindex in the corresponding entries in PF_PACKET sockets' mclists becomes stale. This can create inconsistencies if later an interface with the same ifindex is moved from a different namespace (not that unlikely since ifindexes are per-namespace). In particular we saw problems with dev->promiscuity, resulting in "promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity feature of device might be broken" warnings and EOVERFLOW failures of setsockopt(PACKET_ADD_MEMBERSHIP). This patch deletes the mclist entries for interfaces that are deleted. Since this now causes setsockopt(PACKET_DROP_MEMBERSHIP) to fail with EADDRNOTAVAIL if called after the interface is deleted, also make packet_mc_drop not fail.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-03-09 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. Greg cleans up some "hello world" strings which were left around from early development. Shannon modifies the drive to make sure the sizeof() calls are taking the size of the actual struct that we care about. Also updates the NVMUpdate read/write so that it is less noisy when logging. This was because the NVMUpdate tool does not necessarily know the ReadOnly map of the current NVM image, and must try reading and writing words that may be protected. This generates an error out of the Firmware request that the driver logs. Unfortunately, this ended up spitting out hundreds of bogus read/write error messages. If a user wants the noisy logging, the change can be overridden by enabling the NVM update debugging. Mitch fixes a possible deadlock issue where if a reset occurred when the netdev is closed, the reset task will hang in napi_disable. Added ethtool RSS support as suggested by Ben Hutchings. Jesse fixes a bug introduced in the force writeback code, where the interrupt rate was set to 0 (maximum) by accident. The driver must correctly set the NOITR fields to avoid IT update as a side effect of triggering the software interrupt. I provided a simple cleanup to make the use of PF/VF consistent, which was reported by Joe Perches. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

More specifically they are: 1) Send packet to reset flow if checksum is valid, from Florian Westphal. 2) Fix nf_tables reject bridge from the input chain, also from Florian. 3) Deprecate the CLUSTERIP target, the cluster match supersedes it in functionality and it's known to have problems. 4) A couple of cleanups for nf_tables rule tracing infrastructure, from Patrick McHardy. 5) Another cleanup to place transaction declarations at the bottom of nf_tables.h, also from Patrick. 6) Consolidate Kconfig dependencies wrt. NF_TABLES. 7) Limit table names to 32 bytes in nf_tables. 8) mac header copying in bridge netfilter is already required when calling ip_fragment(), from Florian Westphal. 9) move nf_bridge_update_protocol() to br_netfilter.c, also from Florian. 10) Small refactor in br_netfilter in the transmission path, again from Florian. 11) Move br_nf_pre_routing_finish_bridge_slow() to br_netfilter. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit 9bbb4ecc ("tipc: standardize recvmsg routine") changed the sleep/wakeup behaviour for sockets entering recv() or accept(). In this process the order of reporting -EAGAIN/-EINTR was reversed. This caused problems with wrong errno being reported back if the timeout expires. The same problem happens if the socket is nonblocking and recv()/accept() is called when the process have pending signals. If there is no pending data read or connections to accept, -EINTR will be returned instead of -EAGAIN.

Kernel automatically creates a tp for each (kind, protocol, priority) tuple, which has handle 0, when we add a new filter, but it still is left there after we remove our own, unless we don't specify the handle (literally means all the filters under the tuple). For example this one is left: # tc filter show dev eth0 filter parent 8001: protocol arp pref 49152 basic The user-space is hard to clean up these for kernel because filters like u32 are organized in a complex way. So kernel is responsible to remove it after all filters are gone. Each type of filter has its own way to store the filters, so each type has to provide its way to check if all filters are gone.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
Some archs (specifically PowerPC), are sensitive with the ordering of the enabling of the calls to function tracing and setting of the function to use to be traced. That is, update_ftrace_function() sets what function the ftrace_caller trampoline should call. Some archs require this to be set before calling ftrace_run_update_code(). Another bug was discovered, that ftrace_startup_sysctl() called ftrace_run_update_code() directly. If the function the ftrace_caller trampoline changes, then it will not be updated. Instead a call to ftrace_startup_enable() should be called because it tests to see if the callback changed since the code was disabled, and will tell the arch to update appropriately. Most archs do not need this notification, but PowerPC does. The problem could be seen by the following commands: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace The trace will show that function tracing was not active.

When ftrace is enabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the FTRACE_START_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code(). Similarly, when ftrace is disabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the FTRACE_STOP_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code(). Consider the following situation. # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled After this ftrace_enabled = 0. # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer Since ftrace_enabled = 0, ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is never called. # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled Now ftrace_enabled will be set to true, but still ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() will not be called, which is not desired. Further if we execute the following after this: # echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer Now since ftrace_enabled is set it will call ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller(), which causes a kernel warning on the ARM platform. On the ARM platform, when ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is called, it checks whether the old instruction is a nop or not. If it's not a nop, then it returns an error. If it is a nop then it replaces instruction at that address with a branch to ftrace_graph_caller. ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() behaves just the opposite. Therefore, if generic ftrace code ever calls either ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() or ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() consecutively two times in a row, then it will return an error, which will cause the generic ftrace code to raise a warning. Note, x86 does not have an issue with this because the architecture specific code for ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() and ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() does not check the previous state, and calling either of these functions twice in a row has no ill effect.

When /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is set to zero, all function tracing is disabled. But the records that represent the functions still hold information about the ftrace_ops that are hooked to them. ftrace_ops may request "REGS" (have a full set of pt_regs passed to the callback), or "TRAMP" (the ops has its own trampoline to use). When the record is updated to represent the state of the ops hooked to it, it sets "REGS_EN" and/or "TRAMP_EN" to state that the callback points to the correct trampoline (REGS has its own trampoline). When ftrace_enabled is set to zero, all ftrace locations are a nop, so they do not point to any trampoline. But the _EN flags are still set. This can cause the accounting to go wrong when ftrace_enabled is cleared and an ops that has a trampoline is registered or unregistered. For example, the following will cause ftrace to crash: # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer As function_graph uses a trampoline, when ftrace_enabled is set to zero the updates to the record are not done. When enabling function_graph again, the record will still have the TRAMP_EN flag set, and it will look for an op that has a trampoline other than the function_graph ops, and fail to find one.
