This patch addresses a fault in the error recovery path of the probe routine where the netdev structure was not being unregistered properly leading to a panic only when the phy probe failed. Abbreviated panic stack seen is as follows: (free_netdev+0xXX) from (altera_tse_probe+0xXX) (altera_tse_probe+0xXX) from (platform_drv_probe+0xXX) (platform_drv_probe+0xXX) from (driver_probe_device+0xXX) (driver_probe_device+0xXX) from (__driver_attach+0xXX) (__driver_attach+0xXX) from (bus_for_each_dev+0xXX) (bus_for_each_dev+0xXX) from (driver_attach+0xXX) (driver_attach+0xXX) from (bus_add_driver+0xXX) (bus_add_driver+0xXX) from (driver_register+0xXX) (driver_register+0xXX) from (__platform_driver_register+0xXX) (__platform_driver_register+0xXX) from (altera_tse_driver_init+0xXX) (altera_tse_driver_init+0xXX) from (do_one_initcall+0xXX) (do_one_initcall+0xXX) from (kernel_init_freeable+0xXX) (kernel_init_freeable+0xXX) from (kernel_init+0xXX) (kernel_init+0xXX) from (ret_from_fork+0xXX) Signed-off-by: Vince Bridgers <vbridgers2013@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch works around a recently discovered unaligned receive dma problem with the Altera SGMDA. The Altera SGDMA component cannot be configured to DMA data to unaligned addresses for receive packet operations from the Triple Speed Ethernet component because of a potential data transfer corruption that can occur. This patch addresses this issue by utilizing the shift 16 bits feature of the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet component and modifying the receive buffer physical addresses accordingly such that the target receive DMA address is always aligned on a 32-bit boundary.

Starting with commit 2dc33bbc "bnx2x: Remove the sriov VFOP mechanism", the bnx2x started enforcing vlan credits for all vlan configurations. This exposed 2 issues: - Vlan credits are not returned once a VF is removed; this causes a leak of credits, and eventually will lead to VFs with no vlan credits. - A vlan credit must be set aside for the Hypervisor to use, and should not be visible to the VF. Although linux VFs at the moment do not support vlan configuration [from the VF side] which causes them to be resilient to this sort of issue, Windows VF over linux hypervisors might fail to load as the vlan credits become depleted.

When the ipv6 fib changes during a table dump, the walk is restarted and the number of nodes dumped are skipped. But the existing code doesn't advance to the next node after a node is skipped. This can cause the dump to loop or produce lots of duplicates when the fib is modified during the dump. This change advances the walk to the next node if the current node is skipped after a restart.

David Gibson says: ==================== Fix problems with with IFLA_VF_PORTS (v2) I've had a customer encounter a problem with getifaddrs(3) freezing up on a system with a Cisco enic device. I've discovered that the problem is caused by an enic device with a large number of SR-IOV virtual functions overflowing the normal sized packet buffer for netlink, leading to interfaces not being reported from an RTM_GETLINK request. The first patch here just makes the problem easier to locate if it occurs again in a different way, by adding a WARN_ON() when we run out of room in a netlink packet in this manner. The second patch actually fixes the problem, by only reporting IFLA_VF_PORTS information when the RTEXT_FILTER_VF flag is specified. v2: Corrected some CodingStyle problems ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Since 115c9b81 (rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocation), RTM_NEWLINK messages only contain the IFLA_VFINFO_LIST attribute if they were solicited by a GETLINK message containing an IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute with the RTEXT_FILTER_VF flag. That was done because some user programs broke when they received more data than expected - because IFLA_VFINFO_LIST contains information for each VF it can become large if there are many VFs. However, the IFLA_VF_PORTS attribute, supplied for devices which implement ndo_get_vf_port (currently the 'enic' driver only), has the same problem. It supplies per-VF information and can therefore become large, but it is not currently conditional on the IFLA_EXT_MASK value. Worse, it interacts badly with the existing EXT_MASK handling. When IFLA_EXT_MASK is not supplied, the buffer for netlink replies is fixed at NLMSG_GOODSIZE. If the information for IFLA_VF_PORTS exceeds this, then rtnl_fill_ifinfo() returns -EMSGSIZE on the first message in a packet. netlink_dump() will misinterpret this as having finished the listing and omit data for this interface and all subsequent ones. That can cause getifaddrs(3) to enter an infinite loop. This patch addresses the problem by only supplying IFLA_VF_PORTS when IFLA_EXT_MASK is supplied with the RTEXT_FILTER_VF flag set.

Without IFLA_EXT_MASK specified, the information reported for a single interface in response to RTM_GETLINK is expected to fit within a netlink packet of NLMSG_GOODSIZE. If it doesn't, however, things will go badly wrong, When listing all interfaces, netlink_dump() will incorrectly treat -EMSGSIZE on the first message in a packet as the end of the listing and omit information for that interface and all subsequent ones. This can cause getifaddrs(3) to enter an infinite loop. This patch won't fix the problem, but it will WARN_ON() making it easier to track down what's going wrong.

Eric W. Biederman says: ==================== netlink: Preventing abuse when passing file descriptors. Andy Lutomirski when looking at the networking stack noticed that it is possible to trick privilged processes into calling write on a netlink socket and send netlink messages they did not intend. In particular from time to time there are suid applications that will write to stdout or stderr without checking exactly what kind of file descriptors those are and can be tricked into acting as a limited form of suid cat. In other conversations the magic string CVE-2014-0181 has been used to talk about this issue. This patchset cleans things up a bit, adds some clean abstractions that when used prevent this kind of problem and then finally changes all of the handlers of netlink messages that I could find that call capable to use netlink_ns_capable or an appropriate wrapper. The abstraction netlink_ns_capable verifies that the original creator of the netlink socket a message is sent from had the necessary capabilities as well as verifying that the current sender of a netlink packet has the necessary capabilities. The idea is to prevent file descriptor passing of any form from resulting in a file descriptor that can do more than it can for the creator of the file descriptor. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that privileged executable did not intend to do. To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls. Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.

The permission check in sock_diag_put_filterinfo is wrong, and it is so removed from it's sources it is not clear why it is wrong. Move the computation into packet_diag_dump and pass a bool of the result into sock_diag_filterinfo.

The goal of this patch is to fix rtnelink notification. The main problem was about notification for fdb entry with more than one remote. Before the patch, when a remote was added to an existing fdb entry, the kernel advertised the first remote instead of the added one.

In ksz9021_load_values_from_of() val2 to val4 aren't tested against their initialization value. This causes the test to always succeed, and this value to be used as if it was loaded from the devicetree instead of being ignored, in case of a missing/invalid property in the ethernet OF device node. As a result, the value "0" is written to the relevant registers. Change the conditions to test against the right initialization value.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to e1000e, igb, ixgbe and i40e. Most notably are Jakub's patches to clean up the Rx time stamping code for ixgbe and the fix up of debug messages with proper termination. Jesse's i40e patch fixes an issue reported by Eric Dumazet that the i40e driver was allowing the hardware to replicate the PSH flag on all segments of a TSO operation. With this fix, we are now configuring the CWR bit to only be set in the first packet of a TSO and we enable TSO_ECN in order to advertise to the stack that we do the right thing on the wire. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
