Merge branch 'hv_netvsc_linearize'
Vitaly Kuznetsov says: ==================== hv_netvsc: linearize SKBs bigger than MAX_PAGE_BUFFER_COUNT-2 pages This patch series fixes the same issue which was fixed in Xen with commit 97a6d1bb ("xen-netfront: Fix handling packets on compound pages with skb_linearize"). It is relatively easy to create a packet which is small in size but occupies more than 30 (MAX_PAGE_BUFFER_COUNT-2) pages. Here is a kernel-mode reproducer which tries sending a packet with only 34 bytes of payload (but on 34 pages) and fails: static int __init sendfb_init(void) { struct socket *sock; int i, ret; struct sockaddr_in in4_addr = { 0 }; struct page *pages[17]; unsigned long flags; ret = sock_create_kern(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP, &sock); if (ret) { pr_err("failed to create socket: %d!\n", ret); return ret; } in4_addr.sin_family = AF_INET; /* www.google.com, 74.125.133.99 */ in4_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = cpu_to_be32(0x4a7d8563); in4_addr.sin_port = cpu_to_be16(80); ret = sock->ops->connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&in4_addr, sizeof(in4_addr), 0); if (ret) { pr_err("failed to connect: %d!\n", ret); return ret; } /* We can send up to 17 frags */ flags = MSG_MORE; for (i = 0; i < 17; i++) { if (i == 16) flags = MSG_EOR; pages[i] = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_COMP, 1); if (!pages[i]) { pr_err("out of memory!"); goto free_pages; } sock->ops->sendpage(sock, pages[i], PAGE_SIZE -1, 2, flags); } free_pages: for (; i > 0; i--) __free_pages(pages[i - 1], 1); printk("sendfb_init: test done\n"); return -1; } module_init(sendfb_init); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); A try to load such module results in multiple 'kernel: hv_netvsc vmbus_15 eth0: Packet too big: 100' messages as all retries fail as well. It should also be possible to trigger the issue from userspace, I expect e.g. NFS under heavy load to get stuck sometimes. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
