commit 1f85d58c cnic: Remove uio mem[0]. introduced a regression as older versions of userspace app still rely on this mmap. Restore the mmap functionality and get the base address from pci_resource_start() as the nedev->base_addr has been deprecated for PCI devices. Update version to 2.5.12.

If rpfilter is off (or the SKB has an IPSEC path) and there are not tclassid users, we don't have to do anything at all when fib_validate_source() is invoked besides setting the itag to zero. We monitor tclassid uses with a counter (modified only under RTNL and marked __read_mostly) and we protect the fib_validate_source() real work with a test against this counter and whether rpfilter is to be done. Having a way to know whether we need no tclassid processing or not also opens the door for future optimized rpfilter algorithms that do not perform full FIB lookups. Signed-off-by: David S.

At Facebook, we do Layer-3 DSR via IP-in-IP tunneling. Our load balancers wrap an extra IP header on incoming packets so they can be routed to the backend. In the v4 tunnel driver, when these packets fall on the default tunl0 device, the behavior is to decapsulate them and drop them back on the stack. So our setup is that tunl0 has the VIP and eth0 has (obviously) the backend's real address. In IPv6 we do the same thing, but the v6 tunnel driver didn't have this same behavior - if you didn't have an explicit tunnel setup, it would drop the packet. This patch brings that v4 feature to the v6 driver. The same IPv6 address checks are performed as with any normal tunnel, but as the fallback tunnel endpoint addresses are unspecified, the checks must be performed on a per-packet basis, rather than at tunnel configuration time.

After SKB is queued into tx_queue, it will be freed if request_gop is NULL. However, no dequeue action is called in this situation, it is likely that tx_queue constains freed SKB. This patch should fix this issue, and it is based on 3.5.0-rc4+. This issue is found through code inspection, no bug is seen with it currently. I run netperf test for several hours, and no network regression was found. Signed-off-by: Annie Li <annie.li@oracle.com> Acked-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Based upon feedback from Julian Anastasov. 1) Use route flags to determine multicast/broadcast, not the packet flags. 2) Leave saddr unspecified in flow key. 3) Adjust how we invoke inet_select_addr(). Pass ip_hdr(skb)->saddr as second arg, and if it was zeronet use link scope. 4) Use loopback as input interface in flow key. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Neal Cardwell authored
The code in tcp_v6_conn_request() was implicitly assuming that tcp_v6_send_synack() would take care of dst_release(), much as tcp_v4_send_synack() already does. This resulted in tcp_v6_conn_request() leaking a dst if sysctl_tw_recycle is enabled. This commit restructures tcp_v6_send_synack() so that it accepts a dst pointer and takes care of releasing the dst that is passed in, to plug the leak and avoid future surprises by bringing the IPv6 behavior in line with the IPv4 side.

Neal Cardwell authored
With the recent change (earlier in this patch series) to set flowi6_oif to treq->iif in inet6_csk_route_req(), the dst lookup in these two functions is now identical, so tcp_v6_send_synack() can now just call inet6_csk_route_req(), to reduce code duplication and keep things closer to the IPv4 side, which is structured this way.

This commit changes inet_csk_route_req() so that it uses a pointer to a struct flowi6, rather than allocating its own on the stack. This brings its behavior in line with its IPv4 cousin, inet_csk_route_req(), and allows a follow-on patch to fix a dst leak.

Fix inet6_csk_route_req() to use as the flowi6_oif the treq->iif, which is correctly fixed up in tcp_v6_conn_request() to handle the case of link-local addresses. This brings it in line with the tcp_v6_send_synack() code, which is already correctly using the treq->iif in this way. Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

John Linville says: ==================== Amitkumar Karwar gives us two mwifiex fixes: one fixes some skb manipulations when handling some event messages; and another that does some similar fixing on an error path. Avinash Patil gives us a fix for for a memory leak in mwifiex. Dan Rosenberg offers an NFC NCI fix to enforce some message length limits to prevent buffer overflows. Eliad Peller provides a mac80211 fix to prevent some frames from being built with an invalid BSSID. Eric Dumazet sends an NFC fix to prevent a BUG caused by a NULL pointer dereference. Felix Fietkau has an ath9k fix for a regression causing LEAP-authenticated connection failures. Johannes Berg provides an iwlwifi fix that eliminates some log SPAM after an authentication/association timeout. He also provides a mac80211 fix to prevent incorrectly addressing certain action frames (and in so doing, to comply with the 802.11 specs). Larry Finger provides a few USB IDs for the rtl8192cu driver -- should be harmless. Panayiotis Karabassis provices a one-liner to fix kernel bug 42903 (a system freeze). Randy Dunlap provides a one-line Kconfig change to prevent build failures with some configurations. Stone Piao provides an mwifiex sequence numbering fix and a fix to prevent mwifiex from attempting to include eapol frames in an aggregation frame. Finally, Tom Hughes provides an ath9k fix for a NULL pointer dereference. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The correct behavior is to program the interrupt coalescing regs (RXICr/TXICr) in accordance with the Rx/Tx Q's "rx/txcoalescing" flag. That is, if the coalescing flag is 0 for a given Rx/Tx queue then the corresponding coalescing register should be cleared. This behavior is correctly implemented for the single-queue mode (SQ_SG_MODE), but not for the multi-queue mode (MQ_MG_MODE). This fixes the later case.

usbnet_disconnect() will set intfdata to NULL before calling the minidriver unbind function. The cdc_wdm subdriver cannot know that it is disconnecting until the qmi_wwan unbind function has called its disconnect function. This means that we must be able to support the cdc_wdm subdriver operating normally while usbnet_disconnect() is running, and in particular that intfdata may be NULL. The only place this matters is in qmi_wwan_cdc_wdm_manage_power which is called from cdc_wdm. Simply testing for NULL intfdata there is sufficient to allow it to continue working at all times. Fixes this Oops where a cdc-wdm device was closed while the USB device was disconnecting, causing wdm_release to call qmi_wwan_cdc_wdm_manage_power after intfdata was set to NULL by usbnet_disconnect: [41819.087460] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000080 [41819.087815] IP: [<f8640458>] qmi_wwan_manage_power+0x68/0x90 [qmi_wwan] [41819.088028] *pdpt = 000000000314f001 *pde = 0000000000000000 [41819.088028] Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP [41819.088028] Modules linked in: qmi_wwan option usb_wwan usbserial usbnet cdc_wdm nls_iso8859_1 nls_cp437 vfat fat usb_storage bnep rfcomm bluetooth parport_pc ppdev binfmt_misc iptable_nat nf_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_conntrack nf_defrag_ipv4 iptable_mangle iptable_filter ip_tables x_tables dm_crypt uvcvideo snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_intel videobuf2_core snd_hda_codec joydev videodev videobuf2_vmalloc hid_multitouch snd_hwdep arc4 videobuf2_memops snd_pcm snd_seq_midi snd_rawmidi snd_seq_midi_event ath9k mac80211 snd_seq ath9k_common ath9k_hw ath snd_timer snd_seq_device sparse_keymap dm_multipath scsi_dh coretemp mac_hid snd soundcore cfg80211 snd_page_alloc psmouse serio_raw microcode lp parport dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log usbhid hid i915 drm_kms_helper drm r8169 i2c_algo_bit wmi video [last unloaded: qmi_wwan] [41819.088028] [41819.088028] Pid: 23292, comm: qmicli Not tainted 3.4.0-5-generic #11-Ubuntu GIGABYTE T1005/T1005 [41819.088028] EIP: 0060:[<f8640458>] EFLAGS: 00010246 CPU: 1 [41819.088028] EIP is at qmi_wwan_manage_power+0x68/0x90 [qmi_wwan] [41819.088028] EAX: 00000000 EBX: 00000000 ECX: 000000c3 EDX: 00000000 [41819.088028] ESI: c3b27658 EDI: 00000000 EBP: c298bea4 ESP: c298be98 [41819.088028] DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 [41819.088028] CR0: 8005003b CR2: 00000080 CR3: 3605e000 CR4: 000007f0 [41819.088028] DR0: 00000000 DR1: 00000000 DR2: 00000000 DR3: 00000000 [41819.088028] DR6: ffff0ff0 DR7: 00000400 [41819.088028] Process qmicli (pid: 23292, ti=c298a000 task=f343b280 task.ti=c298a000) [41819.088028] Stack: [41819.088028] 00000000 c3b27658 e2a80d00 c298beb0 f864051a c3b27600 c298bec0 f9027099 [41819.088028] c2fd6000 00000008 c298bef0 c1147f96 00000001 00000000 00000000 f4e54790 [41819.088028] ecf43a00 ecf43a00 c2fd6008 c2fd6000 ebbd7600 ffffffb9 c298bf08 c1144474 [41819.088028] Call Trace: [41819.088028] [<f864051a>] qmi_wwan_cdc_wdm_manage_power+0x1a/0x20 [qmi_wwan] [41819.088028] [<f9027099>] wdm_release+0x69/0x70 [cdc_wdm] [41819.088028] [<c1147f96>] fput+0xe6/0x210 [41819.088028] [<c1144474>] filp_close+0x54/0x80 [41819.088028] [<c1046a65>] put_files_struct+0x75/0xc0 [41819.088028] [<c1046b56>] exit_files+0x46/0x60 [41819.088028] [<c1046f81>] do_exit+0x141/0x780 [41819.088028] [<c107248f>] ? wake_up_state+0xf/0x20 [41819.088028] [<c1053f48>] ? signal_wake_up+0x28/0x40 [41819.088028] [<c1054f3b>] ? zap_other_threads+0x6b/0x80 [41819.088028] [<c1047864>] do_group_exit+0x34/0xa0 [41819.088028] [<c10478e8>] sys_exit_group+0x18/0x20 [41819.088028] [<c15bb7df>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x28 [41819.088028] Code: 04 83 e7 01 c1 e7 03 0f b6 42 18 83 e0 f7 09 f8 88 42 18 8b 43 04 e8 48 9a dd c8 89 f0 8b 5d f4 8b 75 f8 8b 7d fc 89 ec 5d c3 90 <f0> ff 88 80 00 00 00 0f 94 c0 84 c0 75 b7 31 f6 8b 5d f4 89 f0 [41819.088028] EIP: [<f8640458>] qmi_wwan_manage_power+0x68/0x90 [qmi_wwan] SS:ESP 0068:c298be98 [41819.088028] CR2: 0000000000000080 [41819.149492] ---[ end trace 0944479ff8257f55 ]--- Reported-by: Marius Bjørnstad Kotsbak <marius.kotsbak@gmail.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v3.4 Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S.

In commit 7a879824 we added a wrapper for the WDIOC_GETSTATUS ioctl call. The code results however in a different behaviour: it returns an error if the driver doesn't support the status operation. This is not according to the API that says that when we don't support the status operation, that we just should return a 0 value. Only when the device isn't there anymore, we should return an error.

The specific destination is the host we direct unicast replies to. Usually this is the original packet source address, but if we are responding to a multicast or broadcast packet we have to use something different. Specifically we must use the source address we would use if we were to send a packet to the unicast source of the original packet. The routing cache precomputes this value, but we want to remove that precomputation because it creates a hard dependency on the expensive rpfilter source address validation which we'd like to make cheaper. There are only three places where this matters: 1) ICMP replies. 2) pktinfo CMSG 3) IP options Now there will be no real users of rt->rt_spec_dst and we can simply remove it altogether.

Rename it to ip_send_unicast_reply() and add explicit 'saddr' argument. This removed one of the few users of rt->rt_spec_dst. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
