When a VF is being closed its queues are released via the 'teardown_q' and the VF itself is closed with 'close'. These are essentially the unload counterparts of 'init' and 'setup_q' from the load flow.

'init' - init an acquired VF. Supply allocation GPAs to PF. 'setup_q' - PF to allocate a queue in device on behalf of the VF. 'set_mac' - PF to configure a mac in device on behalf of the VF. VF driver uses these requests in the VF <-> PF channel in nic_load flow. Signed-off-by: Ariel Elior <ariele@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Generally, the VF driver cannot access the chip, except by the narrow window its BAR allows. Care had to be taken so the VF driver will not reach code which accesses the chip elsewhere. Refactor the nic_load flow into parts so it would be easier to separate the VF-only logic from the PF-only logic.

Add the 'acquire' request to VF <-> PF channel and use it at VF probe. In the acquire request the VF driver lists the resources it would like to have. In the response the PF either ratifies the request, or denies it and supplies the maximum values supported. The VF may then attempt another acquire request. This patch adds the bnx2x_vfpf.c file which contains the implementation of the VF to PF hardware channel.

To support probing and removing of a bnx2x virtual function the following were added: 1. add bnx2x_vfpf.h: defines the VF to PF channel 2. add bnx2x_sriov.h: header for bnx2x SR-IOV functionality 3. enumerate VF hw types (identify VFs) 4. if driving a VF, map VF bar 5. if driving a VF, allocate Vf to PF channel 6. refactor interrupt flows to include VF Signed-off-by: Ariel Elior <ariele@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, we return -EINVAL for malformed or wrong BPF filters. However, this is not done for BPF_S_ANC* operations, which makes it more difficult to detect if it's actually supported or not by the BPF machine. Therefore, we should also return -EINVAL if K is within the SKF_AD_OFF universe and the ancillary operation did not match. Why exactly is it needed? If tools such as libpcap/tcpdump want to make use of new ancillary operations (like filtering VLAN in kernel space), there is currently no sane way to test if this feature / BPF_S_ANC* op is present or not, since no error is returned. This patch will make life easier for that and allow for a proper usage for user space applications. There was concern, if this patch will break userland. Short answer: Yes and no. Long answer: It will "break" only for code that calls ... { BPF_LD | BPF_(W|H|B) | BPF_ABS, 0, 0, <K> }, ... where <K> is in [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] _and_ <K> is *not* an ancillary. And here comes the BUT: assuming some *old* code will have such an instruction where <K> is between [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] and it doesn't know ancillary operations, then this will give a non-expected / unwanted behavior as well (since we do not return the BPF machine with 0 after a failed load_pointer(), which was the case before introducing ancillary operations, but load sth. into the accumulator instead, and continue with the next instruction, for instance). Thus, user space code would already have been broken by introducing ancillary operations into the BPF machine per se. Code that does such a direct load, e.g. "load word at packet offset 0xffffffff into accumulator" ("ld [0xffffffff]") is quite broken, isn't it? The whole assumption of ancillary operations is that no-one intentionally calls things like "ld [0xffffffff]" and expect this word to be loaded from such a packet offset. Hence, we can also safely make use of this feature testing patch and facilitate application development. Therefore, at least from this patch onwards, we have *for sure* a check whether current or in future implemented BPF_S_ANC* ops are supported in the kernel. Patch was tested on x86_64.

ip6gre_xmit2() incorrectly sets transport header to inner payload instead of GRE header. It seems copy-and-pasted from ipip.c. Set transport header to gre header. (In ipip case the transport header is the inner ip header, so that's correct.) Found by inspection. In practice the incorrect transport header doesn't matter because the skb usually is sent to another net_device or socket, so the transport header isn't referenced.

The socket calls from vxlan to join/leave multicast group aren't using the index of the underlying device, as a result the stack uses the first interface that is up.

In commit 96e0bf4b (tcp: Discard segments that ack data not yet sent) John Dykstra enforced a check against ack sequences. In commit 354e4aa3 (tcp: RFC 5961 5.2 Blind Data Injection Attack Mitigation) I added more safety tests. But we missed fact that these tests are not performed if ACK bit is not set. RFC 793 3.9 mandates TCP should drop a frame without ACK flag set. " fifth check the ACK field, if the ACK bit is off drop the segment and return" Not doing so permits an attacker to only guess an acceptable sequence number, evading stronger checks. Many thanks to Zhiyun Qian for bringing this issue to our attention.

Unfortunately with !CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED, (!PageHead) is false, and (PageHead) is true, for tail pages. If this is indeed the intended behavior, which I doubt because it breaks cache cleaning on some ARM systems, then the nomenclature is highly problematic. This patch makes sure PageHead is only true for head pages and PageTail is only true for tail pages, and neither is true for non-compound pages. [ This buglet seems ancient - seems to have been introduced back in Apr 2008 in commit 6a1e7f77: "pageflags: convert to the use of new macros". And the reason nobody noticed is because the PageHead() tests are almost all about just sanity-checking, and only used on pages that are actual page heads. The fact that the old code returned true for tail pages too was thus not really noticeable. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall <cdall@cs.columbia.edu> Acked-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Will Deacon <Will.Deacon@arm.com> Cc: Steve Capper <Steve.Capper@arm.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org # 2.6.26+ Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Oleg pointed out that in a pid namespace the sequence. - pid 1 becomes a zombie - setns(thepidns), fork,... - reaping pid 1. - The injected processes exiting. Can lead to processes attempting access their child reaper and instead following a stale pointer. That waitpid for init can return before all of the processes in the pid namespace have exited is also unfortunate. Avoid these problems by disabling the allocation of new pids in a pid namespace when init dies, instead of when the last process in a pid namespace is reaped.
