2018-09-28netlink: allow NLA_NESTED to specify nested policy to validateJohannes Berg2-2/+25
Now that we have a validation_data pointer, and the len field in the policy is unused for NLA_NESTED, we can allow using them both to have nested validation. This can be nice in code, although we still have to use nla_parse_nested() or similar which would also take a policy; however, it also serves as documentation in the policy without requiring a look at the code.

2018-09-28netlink: move extack setting into validate_nla()Johannes Berg1-32/+36
This unifies the code between nla_parse() which sets the bad attribute pointer and an error message, and nla_validate() which only sets the bad attribute pointer. It also cleans up the code for NLA_REJECT and paves the way for nested policy validation, as it will allow us to easily skip setting the "generic" message without any extra args like the **error_msg now, just passing the extack through is now enough. While at it, remove the unnecessary label in nla_parse(). Suggested-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2018-09-28netlink: make validation_data constJohannes Berg2-4/+3
The validation data is only used within the policy that should usually already be const, and isn't changed in any code that uses it. Therefore, make the validation_data pointer const. While at it, remove the duplicate variable in the bitfield validation that I'd otherwise have to change to const.

2018-09-27net: mvneta: Add support for 2500Mbps SGMIIMaxime Chevallier1-4/+23
The mvneta controller can handle speeds up to 2500Mbps on the SGMII interface. This relies on serdes configuration, the lane must be configured at 3.125Gbps and we can't use in-band autoneg at that speed. The main issue when supporting that speed on this particular controller is that the link partner can send ethernet frames with a shortened preamble, which if not explicitly enabled in the controller will cause unexpected behaviours. This was tested on Armada 385, with the comphy configuration done in bootloader. Signed-off-by: Maxime Chevallier <maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== net: bridge: convert bool options to bits A lot of boolean bridge options have been added around the net_bridge structure resulting in holes and more importantly different cache lines that need to be fetched in the fast path. This set moves all of those to bits in a bitfield which resides in a hot cache line thus reducing the size of net_bridge, the number of holes and the number of cache lines needed for the fast path. The set is also sent in preparation for new boolean options to avoid spreading them in the structure and making new holes. One nice side-effect is that we avoid potential race conditions by using the bitops since some of the options were bits being directly set in parallel risking hard to debug issues (has_ipv6_addr).

This might be safe for now, but any careless usage of the helper has the potential for subtle races and use-after-free's.

This patch attempts to untangle the TX and RX code in qeth from af_iucv's respective HiperTransport path: On the TX side, pointing skb_network_header() at the IUCV header means that qeth_l3_fill_af_iucv_hdr() no longer needs a magical offset to access the header. On the RX side, qeth pulls the (fake) L2 header off the skb like any normal ethernet driver would. This makes working with the IUCV header in af_iucv easier, since we no longer have to assume a fixed skb layout. While at it, replace the open-coded length checks in af_iucv's RX path with pskb_may_pull(). Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Move the (re-)setting around a bit, so that it happens symmetrically on allocating/freeing the qeth_card struct. This is no actual problem, as the ccwgroup core will discard the gdev on a probe error. But from qeth's perspective the gdev is an external resource, so it's best to manage it cleanly.

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2018-09-25 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) Allow for RX stack hardening by implementing the kernel's flow dissector in BPF. Idea was originally presented at netconf 2017 [0]. Quote from merge commit: [...] Because of the rigorous checks of the BPF verifier, this provides significant security guarantees. In particular, the BPF flow dissector cannot get inside of an infinite loop, as with CVE-2013-4348, because BPF programs are guaranteed to terminate. It cannot read outside of packet bounds, because all memory accesses are checked. Also, with BPF the administrator can decide which protocols to support, reducing potential attack surface. Rarely encountered protocols can be excluded from dissection and the program can be updated without kernel recompile or reboot if a bug is discovered. [...] Also, a sample flow dissector has been implemented in BPF as part of this work, from Petar and Willem. [0] http://vger.kernel.org/netconf2017_files/rx_hardening_and_udp_gso.pdf 2) Add support for bpftool to list currently active attachment points of BPF networking programs providing a quick overview similar to bpftool's perf subcommand, from Yonghong. 3) Fix a verifier pruning instability bug where a union member from the register state was not cleared properly leading to branches not being pruned despite them being valid candidates, from Alexei. 4) Various smaller fast-path optimizations in XDP's map redirect code, from Jesper. 5) Enable to recognize BPF_MAP_TYPE_REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY maps in bpftool, from Roman. 6) Remove a duplicate check in libbpf that probes for function storage, from Taeung. 7) Fix an issue in test_progs by avoid checking for errno since on success its value should not be checked, from Mauricio. 8) Fix unused variable warning in bpf_getsockopt() helper when CONFIG_INET is not configured, from Anders. 9) Fix a compilation failure in the BPF sample code's use of bpf_flow_keys, from Prashant. 10) Minor cleanups in BPF code, from Yue and Zhong. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2018-09-26net: phy: marvell: Avoid unnecessary soft resetFlorian Fainelli1-42/+21
The BMCR.RESET bit on the Marvell PHYs has a special meaning in that it commits the register writes into the HW for it to latch and be configured appropriately. Doing software resets causes link drops, and this is unnecessary disruption if nothing changed. Determine from marvell_set_polarity()'s return code whether the register value was changed and if it was, propagate that to the logic that hits the software reset bit. This avoids doing unnecessary soft reset if the PHY is configured in the same state it was previously, this also eliminates the need for a m88e1111_config_aneg() function since it now is the same as marvell_config_aneg().

2018-09-26net: phy: Stop with excessive soft resetFlorian Fainelli1-2/+0
While consolidating the PHY reset in phy_init_hw() an unconditionaly BMCR soft-reset I became quite trigger happy with those. This was later on deactivated for the Generic PHY driver on the premise that a prior software entity (e.g: bootloader) might have applied workarounds in commit 0878fff1f42c ("net: phy: Do not perform software reset for Generic PHY"). Since we have a hook to wire-up a soft_reset callback, just use that and get rid of the call to genphy_soft_reset() entirely. This speeds up initialization and link establishment for most PHYs out there that do not require a reset.
