John W. Linville says: ==================== pull request: wireless 2013-11-14 Please pull this batch of fixes intended for the 3.13 stream! Amitkumar Karwar offers a quartet of mwifiex fixes, including an endian fix and three fixes for invalid memory access. Avinash Patil trims the packet length value for packets received from an SDIO interface. Colin Ian King fixes a NULL pointer dereference in the rtlwifi efuse code. Dan Carpenter cleans-up an mwifiex integer underflow, a potential libertas oops, a memory corrupion bug in wcn36xx, and a locking issue also in wcn36xx. Dan Williams helps prism54 devices to avoid being misclassified as Ethernet devices. Felipe Pena fixes a couple of typo errors, one in rt2x00 and the other in rtlwifi. Janusz Dziedzic corrects a pair of DFS-related problems in ath9k. Larry Finger patches three rtlwifi drivers to correctly report signal strength even for an unassociated AP. Mark Cave-Ayland rewrites some endian-illiterate packet type extraction code in rtlwifi. Stanislaw Gruszka addresses an rt2x00 regression related to setting HT station WCID and AMPDU density parameters. Sujith Manoharan corrects the initvals settings for AR9485. Ujjal Roy patches an obscure bit of code in mwifiex that was using the wrong definition of eth_hdr when briding patches in AP mode. Wei Yongjun fixes a couple of bugs: one is a return code handling bug in libertas; and, the other is a locking issue in wcn36xx. ==================== Signed-off-by:David S.

Commit 2613af0e ("virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx buffers to page frag allocators") changed the mergeable receive buffer size from PAGE_SIZE to MTU-size. However, the merge buffer size does not take into account the size of the virtio-net header. Consequently, packets that are MTU-size will take two buffers intead of one (to store the virtio-net header), substantially decreasing the throughput of MTU-size traffic due to TCP window / SKB truesize effects. This commit changes the mergeable buffer size to include the virtio-net header. The buffer size is cacheline-aligned because skb_page_frag_refill will not automatically align the requested size. Benchmarks taken from an average of 5 netperf 30-second TCP_STREAM runs between two QEMU VMs on a single physical machine. Each VM has two VCPUs and vhost enabled. All VMs and vhost threads run in a single 4 CPU cgroup cpuset, using cgroups to ensure that other processes in the system will not be scheduled on the benchmark CPUs. Transmit offloads and mergeable receive buffers are enabled, but guest_tso4 / guest_csum are explicitly disabled to force MTU-sized packets on the receiver. next-net trunk before 2613af0e (PAGE_SIZE buf): 3861.08Gb/s net-next trunk (MTU 1500- packet uses two buf due to size bug): 4076.62Gb/s net-next trunk (MTU 1480- packet fits in one buf): 6301.34Gb/s net-next trunk w/ size fix (MTU 1500 - packet fits in one buf): 6445.44Gb/s Suggested-by:

In af3e095a, Erik Jacobsen fixed one type of unaligned access bug for ia64 by converting a 64-bit write to use put_unaligned(). Unfortunately, since gcc will convert a short memset() to a series of appropriately-aligned stores, the problem is now visible again on tilegx, where the memset that zeros out proc_event is converted to three 64-bit stores, causing an unaligned access panic. A better fix for the original problem is to ensure that proc_event is aligned to 8 bytes here. We can do that relatively easily by arranging to start the struct cn_msg aligned to 8 bytes and then offset by 4 bytes. Doing so means that the immediately following proc_event structure is then correctly aligned to 8 bytes. The result is that the memset() stores are now aligned, and as an added benefit, we can remove the put_unaligned() calls in the code. Signed-off-by:

Initial sch_fq implementation copied code from pfifo_fast to classify a packet as a high prio packet. This clashes with setups using PRIO with say 7 bands, as one of the band could be incorrectly (mis)classified by FQ. Packets would be queued in the 'internal' queue, and no pacing ever happen for this special queue. Fixes: afe4fd06 ("pkt_sched: fq: Fair Queue packet scheduler") Signed-off-by:

Johannes Berg says: ==================== genetlink: reduce ops size and complexity (v2) As before - reduce the complexity and data/code size of genetlink ops by making them an array rather than a linked list. Most users already use an array thanks to genl_register_family_with_ops(), so convert the remaining ones allowing us to get rid of the list head in each op. Also make them const, this just makes sense at that point and the security people like making function pointers const as well :-) ==================== Signed-off-by: -

To save some space in the struct on 32-bit systems, make the flags a u8 (only 4 bits are used) and also move them to the end of the struct. This has no impact on 64-bit systems as alignment of the struct in an array uses up the space anyway. Signed-off-by:

Instead of using a linked list, use an array. This reduces the data size needed by the users of genetlink, for example in wireless (net/wireless/nl80211.c) on 64-bit it frees up over 1K of data space. Remove the attempted sending of CTRL_CMD_NEWOPS ctrl event since genl_ctrl_event(CTRL_CMD_NEWOPS, ...) only returns -EINVAL anyway, therefore no such event could ever be sent. Signed-off-by:

This simplifies the code since there's no longer a need to have error handling in the registration. Unfortunately it means more extern function declarations are needed, but the overall goal would seem to justify this. Due to the removal of duplication in the netlink policies, this reduces the size of wimax by almost 1k. Signed-off-by:

Bug has been introduced by commit bb814094 ("ip6tnl: allow to use rtnl ops on fb tunnel"). When ip6_tunnel.ko is unloaded, FB device is delete by rtnl_link_unregister() and then we try to use the pointer in ip6_tnl_destroy_tunnels(). Let's add an handler for dellink, which will never remove the FB tunnel. With this patch it will no more be possible to remove it via 'ip link del ip6tnl0', but it's safer. The same fix was already proposed by Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> for sit interfaces. CC: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Reported-by:

Nicolas Dichtel authored
When a link local address was added to a sit interface, the corresponding route was not configured. This breaks routing protocols that use the link local address, like OSPFv3. To ease the code reading, I remove sit_route_add(), which only adds v4 mapped routes, and add this kind of route directly in sit_add_v4_addrs(). Thus link local and v4 mapped routes are configured in the same place. Reported-by:

When the local IPv4 endpoint is wilcard (0.0.0.0), the prefix length is correctly set, ie 64 if the address is a link local one or 96 if the address is a v4 mapped one.

Bug: The fallback device is created in sit_init_net and assumed to be freed in sit_exit_net. First, it is dereferenced in that function, in sit_destroy_tunnels: struct net *net = dev_net(sitn->fb_tunnel_dev); Prior to this, rtnl_unlink_register has removed all devices that match rtnl_link_ops == sit_link_ops. Commit 205983c4 added the line + sitn->fb_tunnel_dev->rtnl_link_ops = &sit_link_ops; which cases the fallback device to match here and be freed before it is last dereferenced. Fix: This commit adds an explicit .delllink callback to sit_link_ops that skips deallocation at rtnl_unlink_register for the fallback device. This mechanism is comparable to the one in ip_tunnel. It also modifies sit_destroy_tunnels and its only caller sit_exit_net to avoid the offending dereference in the first place. That double lookup is more complicated than required. Test: The bug is only triggered when CONFIG_NET_NS is enabled. It causes a GPF only when CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is enabled. Verified that this bug exists at the mentioned commit, at davem-net HEAD and at 3.11.y HEAD. Verified that it went away after applying this patch.

When a transport recovers due to the new coming sack, SCTP should iterate all of its transport_list to locate the __two__ most recently used transport and set to active_path and retran_path respectively. The exising code does not find the two properly - In case of the following list: [most-recent] -> [2nd-most-recent] -> ... Both active_path and retran_path would be set to the 1st element. The bug happens when: 1) multi-homing 2) failure/partial_failure transport recovers Both active_path and retran_path would be set to the same most-recent one, in other words, retran_path would not take its role - an end user might not even notice this issue.

After commit c9eeec26 ("tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit"), several users reported throughput regressions, notably on mvneta and wifi adapters. 802.11 AMPDU requires a fair amount of queueing to be effective. This patch partially reverts the change done in tcp_write_xmit() so that the minimal amount is sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes. It also remove the use of this sysctl while building skb stored in write queue, as TSO autosizing does the right thing anyway. Users with well behaving NICS and correct qdisc (like sch_fq), can then lower the default sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes value from 128KB to 8KB. This new usage of sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes permits each driver authors to check how their driver performs when/if the value is set to a minimum of 4KB. Normally, line rate for a single TCP flow should be possible, but some drivers rely on timers to perform TX completion and too long TX completion delays prevent reaching full throughput.

We currently use hdr_len as a hint of head length which is advertised by guest. But when guest advertise a very big value, it can lead to an 64K+ allocating of kmalloc() which has a very high possibility of failure when host memory is fragmented or under heavy stress. The huge hdr_len also reduce the effect of zerocopy or even disable if a gso skb is linearized in guest. To solves those issues, this patch introduces an upper limit (PAGE_SIZE) of the head, which guarantees an order 0 allocation each time. Cc: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Cc: Michael S.
