Neither the failure or success paths of ping_v6_sendmsg release the dst it acquires. This leads to a flood of warnings from "net/core/dst.c:288 dst_release" on older kernels that don't have 8bf4ada2 backported. That patch optimistically hoped this had been fixed post 3.10, but it seems at least one case wasn't, where I've seen this triggered a lot from machines doing unprivileged icmp sockets.

Right now we use the 'readlock' both for protecting some of the af_unix IO path and for making the bind be single-threaded. The two are independent, but using the same lock makes for a nasty deadlock due to ordering with regards to filesystem locking. The bind locking would want to nest outside the VSF pathname locking, but the IO locking wants to nest inside some of those same locks. We tried to fix this earlier with commit c845acb3 ("af_unix: Fix splice-bind deadlock") which moved the readlock inside the vfs locks, but that caused problems with overlayfs that will then call back into filesystem routines that take the lock in the wrong order anyway. Splitting the locks means that we can go back to having the bind lock be the outermost lock, and we don't have any deadlocks with lock ordering.

This reverts commit c845acb3. It turns out that it just replaces one deadlock with another one: we can still get the wrong lock ordering with the readlock due to overlayfs calling back into the filesystem layer and still taking the vfs locks after the readlock. The proper solution ends up being to just split the readlock into two pieces: the bind lock (taken *outside* the vfs locks) and the IO lock (taken *inside* the filesystem locks). The two locks are independent anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Shmulik Ladkani <shmulik.ladkani@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, kernel accepts configurations such as: ip l a type vxlan dstport 4789 id 1 group 239.192.0.1 ip l a type vxlan dstport 4789 id 1 group ff0e::110 However, neither of those really works. In the IPv4 case, the interface cannot be brought up ("RTNETLINK answers: No such device"). This is because multicast join will be rejected without the interface being specified. In the IPv6 case, multicast wil be joined on the first interface found. This is not what the user wants as it depends on random factors (order of interfaces). Note that it's possible to add a local address but it doesn't solve anything. For IPv4, it's not considered in the multicast join (thus the same error as above is returned on ifup). This could be added but it wouldn't help for IPv6 anyway. For IPv6, we do need the interface. Just reject a configuration that sets multicast address and does not provide an interface. Nobody can depend on the previous behavior as it never worked. Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In this case when the notifier call-chain sends notifications, the bond_netdev_event() assumes that the rx_handler /rx_handler_data is registered while the bond_enslave() hasn't progressed far enough to register rx_handler for the new slave. This patch adds a rx_handler check that can be performed right at the beginning of the enslave code to avoid getting into this situation.

Hoist irq handler. The smsc911x driver is doing a number of things in its probe routine that should be delayed until the interface is started. Because of this, the module cannot be unloaded, the phy states are incorrect/stale if the interface isn't running, open's unnecessarily fail causing network configuration problems, and the /proc/irq nodes are incorrectly named.

Move phy startup/shutdown into the smsc911x_open/stop routines. This allows the module to be unloaded because phy_connect_direct is no longer always holding the module use count. This one change also resolves a number of other problems. The link status of a downed interface no longer reflects a stale state. Errors caused by the net device being opened before the mdio/phy was configured. There is also a potential power savings as the phy's don't remain powered when the interface isn't running.

Tunnel deletion is delayed by both a workqueue (l2tp_tunnel_delete -> wq -> l2tp_tunnel_del_work) and RCU (sk_destruct -> RCU -> l2tp_tunnel_destruct). By the time l2tp_tunnel_destruct() runs to destroy the tunnel and finish destroying the socket, the private data reserved via the net_generic mechanism has already been freed, but l2tp_tunnel_destruct() actually uses this data. Make sure tunnel deletion for the netns has completed before returning from l2tp_exit_net() by first flushing the tunnel removal workqueue, and then waiting for RCU callbacks to complete.

When PCI error is detected, in some architectures (like PowerPC) a slot reset is performed - the driver's error handlers are in charge of "disable" device before the reset, and re-enable it after a successful slot reset. There are two cases though that another path is taken on the code: if the slot reset is not successful or if too many errors already happened in the specific adapter (meaning that possibly the device is experiencing a HW failure that slot reset is not able to solve), the core PCI error mechanism (called EEH in PowerPC) will remove the adapter from the system, since it will consider this as a permanent failure on device. In this case, a path is taken that leads to bnx2x_chip_cleanup() calling bnx2x_reset_hw(), which then tries to perform a HW reset on chip. This reset won't succeed since the HW is in a fault state, which can be seen by multiple messages on kernel log like below: bnx2x: [bnx2x_issue_dmae_with_comp:552(eth1)]DMAE timeout! bnx2x: [bnx2x_write_dmae:600(eth1)]DMAE returned failure -1 After some time, the PCI error mechanism gives up on waiting the driver's correct removal procedure and forcibly remove the adapter from the system. We can see soft lockup while core PCI error mechanism is waiting for driver to accomplish the right removal process. This patch adds a verification to avoid a chip reset whenever the function is in PCI error state - since this case is only reached when we have a device being removed because of a permanent failure, the HW chip reset is not expected to work fine neither is necessary. Also, as a minor improvement in error path, we avoid the MCP information dump in case of non-recoverable PCI error (when adapter is about to be removed), since it will certainly fail.

Yuchung noticed that on the first TFO server data packet sent after the (TFO) handshake, the server echoed the TCP timestamp value in the SYN/data instead of the timestamp value in the final ACK of the handshake. This problem did not happen on regular opens. The tcp_replace_ts_recent() logic that decides whether to remember an incoming TS value needs tp->rcv_wup to hold the latest receive sequence number that we have ACKed (latest tp->rcv_nxt we have ACKed). This commit fixes this issue by ensuring that a TFO server properly updates tp->rcv_wup to match tp->rcv_nxt at the time it sends a SYN/ACK for the SYN/data.

Sunil Goutham authored
On ThunderX 88xx pass 2.x chips when TSO is offloaded to HW, HW posts a CQE for every TSO segment transmitted. Current code does handles this, but is prone to issues when segment sizes are small resulting in SW processing too many CQEs and also at times frees a SKB which is not yet transmitted. This patch handles the errata in a different way and eliminates issues with earlier approach, TSO packet is submitted to HW with post_cqe=0, so that no CQE is posted upon completion of transmission of TSO packet but a additional HDR + IMMEDIATE descriptors are added to SQ due to which a CQE is posted and will have required info to be used while cleanup in napi. This way only one CQE is posted for a TSO packet. Signed-off-by: Sunil Goutham <sgoutham@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

If DCB is configured on the link partner switch with an unsupported traffic class configuration (e.g. non-contiguous TCs), the driver is flagging DCB as disabled. But, for future DCB LLDPDUs, the driver was checking if the interface was DCB capable instead of enabled. This was causing a kernel panic when LLDP was enabled/disabled on the link partner switch. This patch corrects the situation by having the LLDP event handler check the correct flag in the pf structure. It also cleans up the setting and clearing of the enabled flag for other checks.

In a dual bearer configuration, if the second tipc link becomes active while the first link still has pending nametable "bulk" updates, it randomly leads to reset of the second link. When a link is established, the function named_distribute(), fills the skb based on node mtu (allows room for TUNNEL_PROTOCOL) with NAME_DISTRIBUTOR message for each PUBLICATION. However, the function named_distribute() allocates the buffer by increasing the node mtu by INT_H_SIZE (to insert NAME_DISTRIBUTOR). This consumes the space allocated for TUNNEL_PROTOCOL. When establishing the second link, the link shall tunnel all the messages in the first link queue including the "bulk" update. As size of the NAME_DISTRIBUTOR messages while tunnelling, exceeds the link mtu the transmission fails (-EMSGSIZE). Thus, the synch point based on the message count of the tunnel packets is never reached leading to link timeout. In this commit, we adjust the size of name distributor message so that they can be tunnelled.

The recent commit 087d7a8c "tg3: Fix for diasllow rx coalescing time to be 0" disallow to set Rx coalescing time to be 0 as this stops generating interrupts for the incoming packets. I found the zero Tx coalescing time stops generating interrupts for outgoing packets as well and fires Tx watchdog later. To avoid this, don't allow to set Tx coalescing time to 0 and also remove subsequent checks that become senseless.
