Current async encryption implementation sometimes showed up socket memory accounting error during socket close. This results in kernel warning calltrace. The root cause of the problem is that socket var sk_forward_alloc gets corrupted due to access in sk_mem_charge() and sk_mem_uncharge() being invoked from multiple concurrent contexts in multicore processor. The apis sk_mem_charge() and sk_mem_uncharge() are called from functions alloc_plaintext_sg(), free_sg() etc. It is required that memory accounting apis are called under a socket lock. The plaintext sg data sent for encryption is freed using free_sg() in tls_encryption_done(). It is wrong to call free_sg() from this function. This is because this function may run in irq context. We cannot acquire socket lock in this function. We remove calling of function free_sg() for plaintext data from tls_encryption_done() and defer freeing up of plaintext data to the time when the record is picked up from tx_list and transmitted/freed. When tls_tx_records() gets called, socket is already locked and thus there is no concurrent access problem.

Clear ADDR64 dma bit in DMACFG register in case that HW_DMA_CAP_64B is not detected on 64bit system. The issue was observed when bootloader(u-boot) does not check macb feature at DCFG6 register (DAW64_OFFSET) and enabling 64bit dma support by default. Then macb driver is reading DMACFG register back and only adding 64bit dma configuration but not cleaning it out.

Until now, the Rx flow hash key was a 5-tuple (IP src, IP dst, IP nextproto, L4 src port, L4 dst port) fixed value that we configured at probe. Add support for configuring this hash key at runtime. We support all standard header fields configurable through ethtool, but cannot differentiate between flow types, so the same hash key is applied regardless of protocol. We also don't support the discard option. Signed-off-by: Ioana Radulescu <ruxandra.radulescu@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

With CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG enabled we get DMA unmapping warning in various places of the mvneta driver, for example when putting down an interface while traffic is passing through. The issue is when using s/w buffer management, the Rx buffers are mapped using dma_map_page but unmapped with dma_unmap_single. This patch fixes this by using the right unmapping function.

The SPI protocol for the QCA7000 doesn't have any fault detection. In order to increase the drivers reliability in noisy environments, we could implement a write verification inspired by the enc28j60. This should avoid situations were the driver wrongly assumes the receive interrupt is enabled and miss all incoming packets. This function is disabled per default and can be controlled via module parameter wr_verify.

On processors with multi-engine crypto accelerators, it is possible that multiple records get encrypted in parallel and their encryption completion is notified to different cpus in multicore processor. This leads to the situation where tls_encrypt_done() starts executing in parallel on different cores. In current implementation, encrypted records are queued to tx_ready_list in tls_encrypt_done(). This requires addition to linked list 'tx_ready_list' to be protected. As tls_decrypt_done() could be executing in irq content, it is not possible to protect linked list addition operation using a lock. To fix the problem, we remove linked list addition operation from the irq context. We do tx_ready_list addition/removal operation from application context only and get rid of possible multiple access to the linked list. Before starting encryption on the record, we add it to the tail of tx_ready_list. To prevent tls_tx_records() from transmitting it, we mark the record with a new flag 'tx_ready' in 'struct tls_rec'. When record encryption gets completed, tls_encrypt_done() has to only update the 'tx_ready' flag to true & linked list add operation is not required. The changed logic brings some other side benefits. Since the records are always submitted in tls sequence number order for encryption, the tx_ready_list always remains sorted and addition of new records to it does not have to traverse the linked list. Lastly, we renamed tx_ready_list in 'struct tls_sw_context_tx' to 'tx_list'. This is because now, the some of the records at the tail are not ready to transmit.

Summary: This appears to be necessary and sufficient change to enable `MPLS` on `ip6gre` tunnels (RFC4023). This diff allows IP6GRE devices to be recognized by MPLS kernel module and hence user can configure interface to accept packets with mpls headers as well setup mpls routes on them. Test Plan: Test plan consists of multiple containers connected via GRE-V6 tunnel. Then carrying out testing steps as below. - Carry out necessary sysctl settings on all containers ``` sysctl -w net.mpls.platform_labels=65536 sysctl -w net.mpls.ip_ttl_propagate=1 sysctl -w net.mpls.conf.lo.input=1 ``` - Establish IP6GRE tunnels ``` ip -6 tunnel add name if_1_2_1 mode ip6gre \ local 2401:db00:21:6048:feed:0::1 \ remote 2401:db00:21:6048:feed:0::2 key 1 ip link set dev if_1_2_1 up sysctl -w net.mpls.conf.if_1_2_1.input=1 ip -4 addr add 169.254.0.2/31 dev if_1_2_1 scope link ip -6 tunnel add name if_1_3_1 mode ip6gre \ local 2401:db00:21:6048:feed:0::1 \ remote 2401:db00:21:6048:feed:0::3 key 1 ip link set dev if_1_3_1 up sysctl -w net.mpls.conf.if_1_3_1.input=1 ip -4 addr add 169.254.0.4/31 dev if_1_3_1 scope link ``` - Install MPLS encap rules on node-1 towards node-2 ``` ip route add 192.168.0.11/32 nexthop encap mpls 32/64 \ via inet 169.254.0.3 dev if_1_2_1 ``` - Install MPLS forwarding rules on node-2 and node-3 ``` // node2 ip -f mpls route add 32 via inet 169.254.0.7 dev if_2_4_1 // node3 ip -f mpls route add 64 via inet 169.254.0.12 dev if_4_3_1 ``` - Ping 192.168.0.11 (node4) from 192.168.0.1 (node1) (where routing towards 192.168.0.1 is via IP route directly towards node1 from node4) ``` ping 192.168.0.11 ``` - tcpdump on interface to capture ping packets wrapped within MPLS header which inturn wrapped within IP6GRE header ``` 16:43:41.121073 IP6 2401:db00:21:6048:feed::1 > 2401:db00:21:6048:feed::2: DSTOPT GREv0, key=0x1, length 100: MPLS (label 32, exp 0, ttl 255) (label 64, exp 0, [S], ttl 255) IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.11: ICMP echo request, id 1208, seq 45, length 64 0x0000: 6000 2cdb 006c 3c3f 2401 db00 0021 6048 `.,..l<?$....!`H 0x0010: feed 0000 0000 0001 2401 db00 0021 6048 ........$....!`H 0x0020: feed 0000 0000 0002 2f00 0401 0401 0100 ......../....... 0x0030: 2000 8847 0000 0001 0002 00ff 0004 01ff ...G............ 0x0040: 4500 0054 3280 4000 ff01 c7cb c0a8 0001 E..T2.@......... 0x0050: c0a8 000b 0800 a8d7 04b8 002d 2d3c a05b ...........--<.[ 0x0060: 0000 0000 bcd8 0100 0000 0000 1011 1213 ................ 0x0070: 1415 1617 1819 1a1b 1c1d 1e1f 2021 2223 .............!"# 0x0080: 2425 2627 2829 2a2b 2c2d 2e2f 3031 3233 $%&'()*+,-./0123 0x0090: 3435 3637 4567 ``` Signed-off-by: Saif Hasan <has@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch fixes skb_shared area, which will be corrupted upon reception of 4K jumbo packets. Originally build_skb usage purpose was to reuse page for skb to eliminate needs of extra fragments. But that logic does not take into account that skb_shared_info should be reserved at the end of skb data area. In case packet data consumes all the page (4K), skb_shinfo location overflows the page. As a consequence, __build_skb zeroed shinfo data above the allocated page, corrupting next page. The issue is rarely seen in real life because jumbo are normally larger than 4K and that causes another code path to trigger. But it 100% reproducible with simple scapy packet, like: sendp(IP(dst="192.168.100.3") / TCP(dport=443) \ / Raw(RandString(size=(4096-40))), iface="enp1s0") Fixes: 018423e9 ("net: ethernet: aquantia: Add ring support code") Reported-by: Friedemann Gerold <f.gerold@b-c-s.de> Reported-by: Michael Rauch <michael@rauch.be> Signed-off-by: Friedemann Gerold <f.gerold@b-c-s.de> Tested-by: Nikita Danilov <nikita.danilov@aquantia.com> Signed-off-by: Igor Russkikh <igor.russkikh@aquantia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== netpoll: avoid capture effects for NAPI drivers As diagnosed by Song Liu, ndo_poll_controller() can be very dangerous on loaded hosts, since the cpu calling ndo_poll_controller() might steal all NAPI contexts (for all RX/TX queues of the NIC). This capture, showing one ksoftirqd eating all cycles can last for unlimited amount of time, since one cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load. It seems that all networking drivers that do use NAPI for their TX completions, should not provide a ndo_poll_controller() : Most NAPI drivers have netpoll support already handled in core networking stack, since netpoll_poll_dev() uses poll_napi(dev) to iterate through registered NAPI contexts for a device. This patch series take care of the first round, we will handle other drivers in future rounds. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This capture can last for unlimited amount of time, since one cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load. mlx5 uses NAPI for TX completions, so we better let core networking stack call the napi->poll() to avoid the capture.
