There are known issues for switching the drivers between ECM mode and vendor mode. The interrup transfer may become abnormal. The hardware may have the opportunity to die if you change the configuration without unloading the current driver first, because all the control transfers of the current driver would fail after the command of switching the configuration. Although to use the ecm driver and vendor driver independently is fine, it may have problems to change the driver from one to the other by switching the configuration. Additionally, now the vendor mode driver is more powerful than the ECM driver. Thus, disable the ECM mode driver, and let r8152 to set the configuration to vendor mode and reset the device automatically. Signed-off-by: Hayes Wang <hayeswang@realtek.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In kexec scenario, we failed to load the mlx4 driver in the second kernel because the ownership bit was hold by the first kernel without release correctly. The patch adds shutdown() interface so that the ownership can be released correctly in the first kernel. It also helps avoiding EEH error happened during boot stage of the second kernel because of undesired traffic, which can't be handled by hardware during that stage on Power platform.

MLD queries are supposed to have an IPv6 link-local source address according to RFC2710, section 4 and RFC3810, section 5.1.14. This patch adds a sanity check to ignore such broken MLD queries. Without this check, such malformed MLD queries can result in a denial of service: The queries are ignored by any MLD listener therefore they will not respond with an MLD report. However, without this patch these malformed MLD queries would enable the snooping part in the bridge code, potentially shutting down the according ports towards these hosts for multicast traffic as the bridge did not learn about these listeners.

I stumbled upon this very serious bug while hunting for another one, it's a very subtle race condition between inet_frag_evictor, inet_frag_intern and the IPv4/6 frag_queue and expire functions (basically the users of inet_frag_kill/inet_frag_put). What happens is that after a fragment has been added to the hash chain but before it's been added to the lru_list (inet_frag_lru_add) in inet_frag_intern, it may get deleted (either by an expired timer if the system load is high or the timer sufficiently low, or by the fraq_queue function for different reasons) before it's added to the lru_list, then after it gets added it's a matter of time for the evictor to get to a piece of memory which has been freed leading to a number of different bugs depending on what's left there. I've been able to trigger this on both IPv4 and IPv6 (which is normal as the frag code is the same), but it's been much more difficult to trigger on IPv4 due to the protocol differences about how fragments are treated. The setup I used to reproduce this is: 2 machines with 4 x 10G bonded in a RR bond, so the same flow can be seen on multiple cards at the same time. Then I used multiple instances of ping/ping6 to generate fragmented packets and flood the machines with them while running other processes to load the attacked machine. *It is very important to have the _same flow_ coming in on multiple CPUs concurrently. Usually the attacked machine would die in less than 30 minutes, if configured properly to have many evictor calls and timeouts it could happen in 10 minutes or so. An important point to make is that any caller (frag_queue or timer) of inet_frag_kill will remove both the timer refcount and the original/guarding refcount thus removing everything that's keeping the frag from being freed at the next inet_frag_put. All of this could happen before the frag was ever added to the LRU list, then it gets added and the evictor uses a freed fragment. An example for IPv6 would be if a fragment is being added and is at the stage of being inserted in the hash after the hash lock is released, but before inet_frag_lru_add executes (or is able to obtain the lru lock) another overlapping fragment for the same flow arrives at a different CPU which finds it in the hash, but since it's overlapping it drops it invoking inet_frag_kill and thus removing all guarding refcounts, and afterwards freeing it by invoking inet_frag_put which removes the last refcount added previously by inet_frag_find, then inet_frag_lru_add gets executed by inet_frag_intern and we have a freed fragment in the lru_list. The fix is simple, just move the lru_add under the hash chain locked region so when a removing function is called it'll have to wait for the fragment to be added to the lru_list, and then it'll remove it (it works because the hash chain removal is done before the lru_list one and there's no window between the two list adds when the frag can get dropped). With this fix applied I couldn't kill the same machine in 24 hours with the same setup.

Jan Stancek reports manual page migration encountering allocation failures after some pages when there is still plenty of memory free, and bisected the problem down to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy"). The problem is that GFP_THISNODE obeys the zone fairness allocation batches on one hand, but doesn't reset them and wake kswapd on the other hand. After a few of those allocations, the batches are exhausted and the allocations fail. Fixing this means either having GFP_THISNODE wake up kswapd, or GFP_THISNODE not participating in zone fairness at all. The latter seems safer as an acute bugfix, we can clean up later.

When doing some numa tests on powerpc, I triggered an oops bug. I find it is caused by using page->_last_cpupid. It should be initialized as "-1 & LAST_CPUPID_MASK", but not "-1". Otherwise, in task_numa_fault(), we will miss the checking (last_cpupid == (-1 & LAST_CPUPID_MASK)). And finally cause an oops bug in task_numa_group(), since the online cpu is less than possible cpu.

This patch is a modification of the patch originally proposed by Xiaotian Feng <xtfeng@gmail.com>: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/413 This new version disables DMA channel interrupts and ensures that the tasklet wil not be scheduled again before calling tasklet_kill(). Unfortunately the updated patch was not released at that time due to planned rework of Tsi721 mport driver to use threaded interrupts (which has yet to happen). Recently the issue was reported again: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/19/762. Description from the original Xiaotian's patch: "Some drivers use tasklet_disable in device remove/release process, tasklet_disable will inc tasklet->count and return. If the tasklet is not handled yet under some softirq pressure, the tasklet will be placed on the tasklet_vec, never have a chance to be excuted. This might lead to a heavy loaded ksoftirqd, wakeup with pending_softirq, but tasklet is disabled. tasklet_kill should be used in this case." This patch is applicable to kernel versions starting from v3.5.

Current implementation of HFS+ driver has small issue with remount option. Namely, for example, you are unable to remount from RO mode into RW mode by means of command "mount -o remount,rw /dev/loop0 /mnt/hfsplus". Trying to execute sequence of commands results in an error message: mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/hfsplus mount -o remount,ro /dev/loop0 /mnt/hfsplus mount -o remount,rw /dev/loop0 /mnt/hfsplus mount: you must specify the filesystem type mount -t hfsplus -o remount,rw /dev/loop0 /mnt/hfsplus mount: /mnt/hfsplus not mounted or bad option The reason of such issue is failure of mount syscall: mount("/dev/loop0", "/mnt/hfsplus", 0x2282a60, MS_MGC_VAL|MS_REMOUNT, NULL) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) Namely, hfsplus_parse_options_remount() method receives empty "input" argument and return false in such case. As a result, hfsplus_remount() returns -EINVAL error code. This patch fixes the issue by means of return true for the case of empty "input" argument in hfsplus_parse_options_remount() method.

Global quota files are accessed from different nodes. Thus we cannot cache offset of quota structure in the quota file after we drop our node reference count to it because after that moment quota structure may be freed and reallocated elsewhere by a different node resulting in corruption of quota file. Fix the problem by clearing dq_off when we are releasing dquot structure. We also remove the DB_READ_B handling because it is useless - DQ_ACTIVE_B is set iff DQ_READ_B is set.

LZ4 as implemented in the kernel differs from the default method now used by the reference implementation of LZ4. Until the in-kernel method is updated to support the new default, passing the legacy flag (-l) to the compressor is necessary. Without this flag the kernel-generated, LZ4-compressed initramfs is junk. Kyungsik said: : It seems that lz4 supports legacy format with the same option as lz4c : does.

This can be reproduced with default config since 3.11 kernels. A reproducer can be found in the kernel's selftest directory for networking by running ./psock_tpacket. The problem is that an order=2 compound page (allocated by alloc_one_pg_vec_page() is part of the munlocked VM_MIXEDMAP vma (mapped by packet_mmap()) and mistaken for a THP page and assumed to be order=9. The checks for THP in munlock came with commit ff6a6da6 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages"), i.e. since 3.9, but did not trigger a bug. It just makes munlock_vma_pages_range() skip such compound pages until the next 512-pages-aligned page, when it encounters a head page. This is however not a problem for vma's where mlocking has no effect anyway, but it can distort the accounting. Since commit 7225522b ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and munlock+putback using pagevec") this can trigger a VM_BUG_ON in PageTransHuge() check. This patch fixes the issue by adding VM_MIXEDMAP flag to VM_SPECIAL, a list of flags that make vma's non-mlockable and non-mergeable. The reasoning is that VM_MIXEDMAP vma's are similar to VM_PFNMAP, which is already on the VM_SPECIAL list, and both are intended for non-LRU pages where mlocking makes no sense anyway.

Sometimes the cleanup after memcg hierarchy testing gets stuck in mem_cgroup_reparent_charges(), unable to bring non-kmem usage down to 0. There may turn out to be several causes, but a major cause is this: the workitem to offline parent can get run before workitem to offline child; parent's mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() circles around waiting for the child's pages to be reparented to its lrus, but it's holding cgroup_mutex which prevents the child from reaching its mem_cgroup_reparent_charges(). Further testing showed that an ordered workqueue for cgroup_destroy_wq is not always good enough: percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm's call_rcu_sched stage on the way can mess up the order before reaching the workqueue. Instead, when offlining a memcg, call mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() on all its children (and grandchildren, in the correct order) to have their charges reparented first.

Commit 0eef6156 ("memcg: fix css reference leak and endless loop in mem_cgroup_iter") got the interaction with the commit a few before it d8ad3055 ("mm/memcg: iteration skip memcgs not yet fully initialized") slightly wrong, and we didn't notice at the time. It's elusive, and harder to get than the original, but for a couple of days before rc1, I several times saw a endless loop similar to that supposedly being fixed. This time it was a tighter loop in __mem_cgroup_iter_next(): because we can get here when our root has already been offlined, and the ordering of conditions was such that we then just cycled around forever.

While debug_dma_assert_idle() checks if a given *page* is actively undergoing dma the valid granularity of a dma mapping is a *cacheline*. Sander's testing shows that the warning message "DMA-API: exceeded 7 overlapping mappings of pfn..." is falsely triggering. The test is simply mapping multiple cachelines in a given page. Ultimately we want overlap tracking to be valid as it is a real api violation, so we need to track active mappings by cachelines. Update the active dma tracking to use the page-frame-relative cacheline of the mapping as the key, and update debug_dma_assert_idle() to check for all possible mapped cachelines for a given page. However, the need to track active mappings is only relevant when the dma-mapping is writable by the device. In fact it is fairly standard for read-only mappings to have hundreds or thousands of overlapping mappings at once. Limiting the overlap tracking to writable (!DMA_TO_DEVICE) eliminates this class of false-positive overlap reports. Note, the radix gang lookup is sub-optimal. It would be best if it stopped fetching entries once the search passed a page boundary. Nevertheless, this implementation does not perturb the original net_dma failing case. That is to say the extra overhead does not show up in terms of making the failing case pass due to a timing change.

Commit bf6bddf1 ("mm: introduce compaction and migration for ballooned pages") introduces page_count(page) into memory compaction which dereferences page->first_page if PageTail(page). This results in a very rare NULL pointer dereference on the aforementioned page_count(page). Indeed, anything that does compound_head(), including page_count() is susceptible to racing with prep_compound_page() and seeing a NULL or dangling page->first_page pointer. This patch uses Andrea's implementation of compound_trans_head() that deals with such a race and makes it the default compound_head() implementation. This includes a read memory barrier that ensures that if PageTail(head) is true that we return a head page that is neither NULL nor dangling. The patch then adds a store memory barrier to prep_compound_page() to ensure page->first_page is set. This is the safest way to ensure we see the head page that we are expecting, PageTail(page) is already in the unlikely() path and the memory barriers are unfortunately required. Hugetlbfs is the exception, we don't enforce a store memory barrier during init since no race is possible.

Macvlan currently inherits all of its features from the lower device. When lower device disables offload support, this causes macvlan to disable offload support as well. This causes performance regression when using macvlan/macvtap in bridge mode. It can be easily demonstrated by creating 2 namespaces using macvlan in bridge mode and running netperf between them: MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.0.0.1 () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 20.00 1204.61 To restore the performance, we add software offload features to the list of "always_on" features for macvlan. This way when a namespace or a guest using macvtap initially sends a packet, this packet will not be segmented at macvlan level. It will only be segmented when macvlan sends the packet to the lower device.

RFC4895 introduced AUTH chunks for SCTP; during the SCTP handshake RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO are negotiated (CHUNKS being optional though): ---------- INIT[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] ----------> <------- INIT-ACK[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] --------- -------------------- COOKIE-ECHO --------------------> <-------------------- COOKIE-ACK --------------------- A special case is when an endpoint requires COOKIE-ECHO chunks to be authenticated: ---------- INIT[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] ----------> <------- INIT-ACK[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] --------- ------------------ AUTH; COOKIE-ECHO ----------------> <-------------------- COOKIE-ACK --------------------- RFC4895, section 6.3. Receiving Authenticated Chunks says: The receiver MUST use the HMAC algorithm indicated in the HMAC Identifier field. If this algorithm was not specified by the receiver in the HMAC-ALGO parameter in the INIT or INIT-ACK chunk during association setup, the AUTH chunk and all the chunks after it MUST be discarded and an ERROR chunk SHOULD be sent with the error cause defined in Section 4.1. [...] If no endpoint pair shared key has been configured for that Shared Key Identifier, all authenticated chunks MUST be silently discarded. [...] When an endpoint requires COOKIE-ECHO chunks to be authenticated, some special procedures have to be followed because the reception of a COOKIE-ECHO chunk might result in the creation of an SCTP association. If a packet arrives containing an AUTH chunk as a first chunk, a COOKIE-ECHO chunk as the second chunk, and possibly more chunks after them, and the receiver does not have an STCB for that packet, then authentication is based on the contents of the COOKIE-ECHO chunk. In this situation, the receiver MUST authenticate the chunks in the packet by using the RANDOM parameters, CHUNKS parameters and HMAC_ALGO parameters obtained from the COOKIE-ECHO chunk, and possibly a local shared secret as inputs to the authentication procedure specified in Section 6.3. If authentication fails, then the packet is discarded. If the authentication is successful, the COOKIE-ECHO and all the chunks after the COOKIE-ECHO MUST be processed. If the receiver has an STCB, it MUST process the AUTH chunk as described above using the STCB from the existing association to authenticate the COOKIE-ECHO chunk and all the chunks after it. [...] Commit bbd0d598 introduced the possibility to receive and verification of AUTH chunk, including the edge case for authenticated COOKIE-ECHO. On reception of COOKIE-ECHO, the function sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce() handles processing, unpacks and creates a new association if it passed sanity checks and also tests for authentication chunks being present. After a new association has been processed, it invokes sctp_process_init() on the new association and walks through the parameter list it received from the INIT chunk. It checks SCTP_PARAM_RANDOM, SCTP_PARAM_HMAC_ALGO and SCTP_PARAM_CHUNKS, and copies them into asoc->peer meta data (peer_random, peer_hmacs, peer_chunks) in case sysctl -w net.sctp.auth_enable=1 is set. If in INIT's SCTP_PARAM_SUPPORTED_EXT parameter SCTP_CID_AUTH is set, peer_random != NULL and peer_hmacs != NULL the peer is to be assumed asoc->peer.auth_capable=1, in any other case asoc->peer.auth_capable=0. Now, if in sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce() chunk->auth_chunk is available, we set up a fake auth chunk and pass that on to sctp_sf_authenticate(), which at latest in sctp_auth_calculate_hmac() reliably dereferences a NULL pointer at position 0..0008 when setting up the crypto key in crypto_hash_setkey() by using asoc->asoc_shared_key that is NULL as condition key_id == asoc->active_key_id is true if the AUTH chunk was injected correctly from remote. This happens no matter what net.sctp.auth_enable sysctl says. The fix is to check for net->sctp.auth_enable and for asoc->peer.auth_capable before doing any operations like sctp_sf_authenticate() as no key is activated in sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() for each case. Now as RFC4895 section 6.3 states that if the used HMAC-ALGO passed from the INIT chunk was not used in the AUTH chunk, we SHOULD send an error; however in this case it would be better to just silently discard such a maliciously prepared handshake as we didn't even receive a parameter at all. Also, as our endpoint has no shared key configured, section 6.3 says that MUST silently discard, which we are doing from now onwards. Before calling sctp_sf_pdiscard(), we need not only to free the association, but also the chunk->auth_chunk skb, as commit bbd0d598 created a skb clone in that case. I have tested this locally by using netfilter's nfqueue and re-injecting packets into the local stack after maliciously modifying the INIT chunk (removing RANDOM; HMAC-ALGO param) and the SCTP packet containing the COOKIE_ECHO (injecting AUTH chunk before COOKIE_ECHO). Fixed with this patch applied.

This patch fixes a CPDMA RX Descriptor leak that occurs after taking the interface down when the CPSW is in Dual MAC mode. Previously the CPSW_ALE port was left open up which causes packets to be received and processed by the RX interrupt handler and were passed to the non active network interface where they were ignored. The fix is for the slave_stop function of the selected interface to disable the respective CPSW_ALE Port from forwarding packets. This blocks traffic from being received on the inactive interface.

RTT may be bogus with tall loss probe (TLP) when a packet is retransmitted and latter (s)acked without TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS flag. For example, TLP calls __tcp_retransmit_skb() instead of tcp_retransmit_skb(). The skb timestamps are updated but the sacked flag is not marked with TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS. As a result we'll get bogus RTT in tcp_clean_rtx_queue() or in tcp_sacktag_one() on spurious retransmission. The fix is to apply the sticky flag TCP_EVER_RETRANS to enforce Karn's check on RTT sampling. However this will disable F-RTO if timeout occurs after TLP, by resetting undo_marker in tcp_enter_loss(). We relax this check to only if any pending retransmists are still in-flight.
