      net: korina: Fix NAPI versus resources freeing · e6afb1ad
      Florian Fainelli authored 
      Commit beb0babf ("korina: disable napi on close and restart")
introduced calls to napi_disable() that were missing before,
unfortunately this leaves a small window during which NAPI has a chance
to run, yet we just freed resources since korina_free_ring() has been
called:

Fix this by disabling NAPI first then freeing resource, and make sure
that we also cancel the restart task before doing the resource freeing.

      net, sched: fix soft lockup in tc_classify · 628185cf
      Daniel Borkmann authored 
      Shahar reported a soft lockup in tc_classify(), where we run into an
endless loop when walking the classifier chain due to tp->next == tp
which is a state we should never run into. The issue only seems to
trigger under load in the tc control path.

What happens is that in tc_ctl_tfilter(), thread A allocates a new
tp, initializes it, sets tp_created to 1, and calls into tp->ops->change()
with it. In that classifier callback we had to unlock/lock the rtnl
mutex and returned with -EAGAIN. One reason why we need to drop there
is, for example, that we need to request an action module to be loaded.

This happens via tcf_exts_validate() -> tcf_action_init/_1() meaning
after we loaded and found the requested action, we need to redo the
whole request so we don't race against others. While we had to unlock
rtnl in that time, thread B's request was processed next on that CPU.
Thread B added a new tp instance successfully to the classifier chain.
When thread A returned grabbing the rtnl mutex again, propagating -EAGAIN
and destroying its tp instance which never got linked, we goto replay
and redo A's request.

This time when walking the classifier chain in tc_ctl_tfilter() for
checking for existing tp instances we had a priority match and found
the tp instance that was created and linked by thread B. Now calling
again into tp->ops->change() with that tp was successful and returned
without error.

tp_created was never cleared in the second round, thus kernel thinks
that we need to link it into the classifier chain (once again). tp and
*back point to the same object due to the match we had earlier on. Thus
for thread B's already public tp, we reset tp->next to tp itself and
link it into the chain, which eventually causes the mentioned endless
loop in tc_classify() once a packet hits the data path.

Fix is to clear tp_created at the beginning of each request, also when
we replay it. On the paths that can cause -EAGAIN we already destroy
the original tp instance we had and on replay we really need to start
from scratch. It seems that this issue was first introduced in commit
12186be7 ("net_cls: fix unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining
and avoid kernel panic when we use cls_cgroup").

      powerpc: Fix build warning on 32-bit PPC · 8ae679c4
      Larry Finger authored 
      I am getting the following warning when I build kernel 4.9-git on my
PowerBook G4 with a 32-bit PPC processor:

    AS      arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.o
  arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S:299:7: warning: "CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE" is not defined [-Wundef]

This problem is evident after commit 989cea5c ("kbuild: prevent
lib-ksyms.o rebuilds"); however, this change in kbuild only exposes an
error that has been in the code since 2005 when this source file was
created.  That was with commit 9994a338 ("powerpc: Introduce
entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S").

The offending line does not make a lot of sense.  This error does not
seem to cause any errors in the executable, thus I am not recommending
that it be applied to any stable versions.

Thanks to Nicholas Piggin for suggesting this solution.

Fixes: 9994a338 ("powerpc: Introduce entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S")

      avoid spurious "may be used uninitialized" warning · d33d5a6c
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The timer type simplifications caused a new gcc warning:

  drivers/base/power/domain.c: In function ‘genpd_runtime_suspend’:
  drivers/base/power/domain.c:562:14: warning: ‘time_start’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
     elapsed_ns = ktime_to_ns(ktime_sub(ktime_get(), time_start));

despite the actual use of "time_start" not having changed in any way.
It appears that simply changing the type of ktime_t from a union to a
plain scalar type made gcc check the use.

The variable wasn't actually used uninitialized, but gcc apparently
failed to notice that the conditional around the use was exactly the
same as the conditional around the initialization of that variable.

Add an unnecessary initialization just to shut up the compiler.

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to
  timers/timekeeping.

   - Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really
     helpful and caused more confusion than clarity

   - Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use
     the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit
     timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations
     some time ago.

     That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up.

  Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of
  manual mopping up"
