git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/klassert/ipsec-next Steffen Klassert says: ==================== One patch to rename a newly introduced struct. The rest is the rework of the IPsec virtual tunnel interface for ipv6 to support inter address family tunneling and namespace crossing. 1) Rename the newly introduced struct xfrm_filter to avoid a conflict with iproute2. From Nicolas Dichtel. 2) Introduce xfrm_input_afinfo to access the address family dependent tunnel callback functions properly. 3) Add and use a IPsec protocol multiplexer for ipv6. 4) Remove dst_entry caching. vti can lookup multiple different dst entries, dependent of the configured xfrm states. Therefore it does not make to cache a dst_entry. 5) Remove caching of flow informations. vti6 does not use the the tunnel endpoint addresses to do route and xfrm lookups. 6) Update the vti6 to use its own receive hook. 7) Remove the now unused xfrm_tunnel_notifier. This was used from vti and is replaced by the IPsec protocol multiplexer hooks. 8) Support inter address family tunneling for vti6. 9) Check if the tunnel endpoints of the xfrm state and the vti interface are matching and return an error otherwise. 10) Enable namespace crossing for vti devices. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-03-17netpoll: Remove dead packet receive code (CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP)Eric W. Biederman2-101/+0
The netpoll packet receive code only becomes active if the netpoll rx_skb_hook is implemented, and there is not a single implementation of the netpoll rx_skb_hook in the kernel. All of the out of tree implementations I have found all call netpoll_poll which was removed from the kernel in 2011, so this change should not add any additional breakage. There are problems with the netpoll packet receive code. __netpoll_rx does not call dev_kfree_skb_irq or dev_kfree_skb_any in hard irq context. netpoll_neigh_reply leaks every skb it receives. Reception of packets does not work successfully on stacked devices (aka bonding, team, bridge, and vlans). Given that the netpoll packet receive code is buggy, there are no out of tree users that will be merged soon, and the code has not been used for in tree for a decade let's just remove it. Reverting this commit can server as a starting point for anyone who wants to resurrect netpoll packet reception support. Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2014-03-17netpoll: Move all receive processing under CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAPEric W. Biederman1-33/+40
Make rx_skb_hook, and rx in struct netpoll depend on CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP Make rx_lock, rx_np, and neigh_tx in struct netpoll_info depend on CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP Make the functions netpoll_rx_on, netpoll_rx, and netpoll_receive_skb no-ops when CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP is not set. Only build netpoll_neigh_reply, checksum_udp service_neigh_queue, pkt_is_ns, and __netpoll_rx when CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP is defined. Add helper functions netpoll_trap_setup, netpoll_trap_setup_info, netpoll_trap_cleanup, and netpoll_trap_cleanup_info that initialize and cleanup the struct netpoll and struct netpoll_info receive specific fields when CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP is enabled and do nothing otherwise.

2014-03-17netpoll: Don't drop all received packets.Eric W. Biederman1-2/+1
Change the strategy of netpoll from dropping all packets received during netpoll_poll_dev to calling napi poll with a budget of 0 (to avoid processing drivers rx queue), and to ignore packets received with netif_rx (those will safely be placed on the backlog queue). All of the netpoll supporting drivers have been reviewed to ensure either thay use netif_rx or that a budget of 0 is supported by their napi poll routine and that a budget of 0 will not process the drivers rx queues. Not dropping packets makes NETPOLL_RX_DROP unnecesary so it is removed. npinfo->rx_flags is removed as rx_flags with just the NETPOLL_RX_ENABLED flag becomes just a redundant mirror of list_empty(&npinfo->rx_np).

2014-03-15ieee802154: add header structs with endiannes and operationsPhoebe Buckheister3-4/+112
This patch provides a set of structures to represent 802.15.4 MAC headers, and a set of operations to push/pull/peek these structs from skbs. We cannot simply pointer-cast the skb MAC header pointer to these structs, because 802.15.4 headers are wildly variable - depending on the first three bytes, virtually all other fields of the header may be present or not, and be present with different lengths. The new header creation/parsing routines also support 802.15.4 security headers, which are currently not supported by the mac802154 implementation of the protocol.

Short address fields are stored as __le16 as on the network, extended (EUI64) addresses are __le64 as opposed to the u8[8] format used previously.

The struct as currently defined uses host byte order for some fields, and most big endian/EUI display byte order for other fields. Inside the stack, endianness should ideally match network byte order where possible to minimize the number of byteswaps done in critical paths, but this patch does not address this; it is only preparatory.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "I know this is a bit more than you want to see, and I've told the wireless folks under no uncertain terms that they must severely scale back the extent of the fixes they are submitting this late in the game. Anyways: 1) vmxnet3's netpoll doesn't perform the equivalent of an ISR, which is the correct implementation, like it should. Instead it does something like a NAPI poll operation. This leads to crashes. From Neil Horman and Arnd Bergmann. 2) Segmentation of SKBs requires proper socket orphaning of the fragments, otherwise we might access stale state released by the release callbacks. This is a 5 patch fix, but the initial patches are giving variables and such significantly clearer names such that the actual fix itself at the end looks trivial. From Michael S. Tsirkin. 3) TCP control block release can deadlock if invoked from a timer on an already "owned" socket. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 4) In the bridge multicast code, we must validate that the destination address of general queries is the link local all-nodes multicast address. From Linus Lüssing. 5) The x86 BPF JIT support for negative offsets puts the parameter for the helper function call in the wrong register. Fix from Alexei Starovoitov. 6) The descriptor type used for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17 chips in the r8169 driver is incorrect. Fix from Hayes Wang. 7) The xen-netback driver tests skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type bits to see if a packet is a GSO frame, but that's not the correct test. It should use skb_is_gso(skb) instead. Fix from Wei Liu. 8) Negative msg->msg_namelen values should generate an error, from Matthew Leach. 9) at86rf230 can deadlock because it takes the same lock from it's ISR and it's hard_start_xmit method, without disabling interrupts in the latter. Fix from Alexander Aring. 10) The FEC driver's restart doesn't perform operations in the correct order, so promiscuous settings can get lost. Fix from Stefan Wahren. 11) Fix SKB leak in SCTP cookie handling, from Daniel Borkmann. 12) Reference count and memory leak fixes in TIPC from Ying Xue and Erik Hugne. 13) Forced eviction in inet_frag_evictor() must strictly make sure all frags are deleted, otherwise module unload (f.e. 6lowpan) can crash. Fix from Florian Westphal. 14) Remove assumptions in AF_UNIX's use of csum_partial() (which it uses as a hash function), which breaks on PowerPC. From Anton Blanchard. The main gist of the issue is that csum_partial() is defined only as a value that, once folded (f.e. via csum_fold()) produces a correct 16-bit checksum. It is legitimate, therefore, for csum_partial() to produce two different 32-bit values over the same data if their respective alignments are different. 15) Fix endiannes bug in MAC address handling of ibmveth driver, also from Anton Blanchard. 16) Error checks for ipv6 exthdrs offload registration are reversed, from Anton Nayshtut. 17) Externally triggered ipv6 addrconf routes should count against the garbage collection threshold. Fix from Sabrina Dubroca. 18) The PCI shutdown handler added to the bnx2 driver can wedge the chip if it was not brought up earlier already, which in particular causes the firmware to shut down the PHY. Fix from Michael Chan. 19) Adjust the sanity WARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_list_add() because as currently coded it can and does trigger in legitimate situations. From Eric Dumazet. 20) BNA driver fails to build on ARM because of a too large udelay() call, fix from Ben Hutchings. 21) Fair-Queue qdisc holds locks during GFP_KERNEL allocations, fix from Eric Dumazet. 22) The vlan passthrough ops added in the previous release causes a regression in source MAC address setting of outgoing headers in some circumstances.

2014-03-12mlx4: Implement IP based gids support for RoCE/SRIOVJack Morgenstein2-1/+9
Since there is no connection between the MAC/VLAN and the GID when using IP-based addressing, the proxy QP1 (running on the slave) must pass the source-mac, destination-mac, and vlan_id information separately from the GID. Additionally, the Host must pass the remote source-mac and vlan_id back to the slave, This is achieved as follows: Outgoing MADs: 1. Source MAC: obtained from the CQ completion structure (struct ib_wc, smac field). 2. Destination MAC: obtained from the tunnel header 3. vlan_id: obtained from the tunnel header. Incoming MADs 1. The source (i.e., remote) MAC and vlan_id are passed in the tunnel header to the proxy QP1. VST mode support: For outgoing MADs, the vlan_id obtained from the header is discarded, and the vlan_id specified by the Hypervisor is used instead. For incoming MADs, the incoming vlan_id (in the wc) is discarded, and the "invalid" vlan (0xffff) is substituted when forwarding to the slave.

This patch fixes sparse warnings in vlan driver. It propagates the sparse __percpu attribute from alloc_percpu into netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats.

2014-03-11mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarifyJohannes Weiner3-3/+7
GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to remote nodes. It restricts the allocation to the specified node and does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it when the fallback fails, e.g. through a subsequent allocation request without GFP_THISNODE set. However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or triggering reclaim if necessary. This results in things like page migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim. Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy to __GFP_THISNODE. This restricts the allocation a single node too, but at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation happen when memory is full.

2014-03-10vfs: atomic f_pos accesses as per POSIXLinus Torvalds2-3/+9
Our write() system call has always been atomic in the sense that you get the expected thread-safe contiguous write, but we haven't actually guaranteed that concurrent writes are serialized wrt f_pos accesses, so threads (or processes) that share a file descriptor and use "write()" concurrently would quite likely overwrite each others data. This violates POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 that says: "2.9.7 Thread Interactions with Regular File Operations All of the following functions shall be atomic with respect to each other in the effects specified in POSIX.1-2008 when they operate on regular files or symbolic links: [...]" and one of the effects is the file position update. This unprotected file position behavior is not new behavior, and nobody has ever cared. Until now. Yongzhi Pan reported unexpected behavior to Michael Kerrisk that was due to this. This resolves the issue with a f_pos-specific lock that is taken by read/write/lseek on file descriptors that may be shared across threads or processes.

Developers would say they put a trace_printk() before and after the trace event but when they enable it (and the trace event said it was enabled) they would see the trace_printks but not the trace event. I was not able to reproduce this, but that's because I wasn't looking at the right location. Recently, another bug came up that showed the issue. If your kernel supports signed modules but allows for non-signed modules to be loaded, then when one is, the kernel will silently set the MODULE_FORCED taint on the module. Although, this taint happens without the need for insmod --force or anything of the kind, it labels the module with that taint anyway. If this tainted module has tracepoints, the tracepoints will be ignored because of the MODULE_FORCED taint. But no error message will be displayed. Worse yet, the event infrastructure will still be created letting users enable the trace event represented by the tracepoint, although that event will never actually be enabled. This is because the tracepoint infrastructure allows for non-existing tracepoints to be enabled for new modules to arrive and have their tracepoints set. Although there are several things wrong with the above, this change only addresses the creation of the trace event files for tracepoints that are not created when a module is loaded and is tainted. This change will print an error message about the module being tainted and not the trace events will not be created, and it does not create the trace event infrastructure" * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.14-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Do not add event files for modules that fail tracepoints

2014-03-07firewire: don't use PREPARE_DELAYED_WORKTejun Heo1-0/+1
PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK() are being phased out. They have few users and a nasty surprise in terms of reentrancy guarantee as workqueue considers work items to be different if they don't have the same work function. firewire core-device and sbp2 have been been multiplexing work items with multiple work functions. Introduce fw_device_workfn() and sbp2_lu_workfn() which invoke fw_device->workfn and sbp2_logical_unit->workfn respectively and always use the two functions as the work functions and update the users to set the ->workfn fields instead of overriding work functions using PREPARE_DELAYED_WORK(). This fixes a variety of possible regressions since a2c1c57be8d9 "workqueue: consider work function when searching for busy work items" due to which fw_workqueue lost its required non-reentrancy property.

Due to lockdep max depth, 1024 becomes 8 if CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y The hash resize is a bit tricky, because we need to take all locks in the array.
