This function was modified to support the information element extension case (WLAN_EID_EXTENSION) in a manner that would result in an infinite loop when going through set of IEs that include WLAN_EID_RIC_DATA and contain an IE that is in the after_ric array. The only place where this can currently happen is in mac80211 ieee80211_send_assoc() where ieee80211_ie_split_ric() is called with after_ric[]. This can be triggered by valid data from user space nl80211 association/connect request (i.e., requiring GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM). The only known application having an option to include WLAN_EID_RIC_DATA in these requests is wpa_supplicant and it had a bug that prevented this specific contents from being used (and because of that, not triggering this kernel bug in an automated test case ap_ft_ric) and now that this bug is fixed, it has a workaround to avoid this kernel issue. WLAN_EID_RIC_DATA is currently used only for testing purposes, so this does not cause significant harm for production use cases.

NullFunc packets should never be duplicate just like QoS-NullFunc packets. We saw a client that enters / exits power save with NullFunc frames (and not with QoS-NullFunc) despite the fact that the association supports HT. This specific client also re-uses a non-zero sequence number for different NullFunc frames. At some point, the client had to send a retransmission of the NullFunc frame and we dropped it, leading to a misalignment in the power save state. Fix this by never consider a NullFunc frame as duplicate, just like we do for QoS NullFunc frames.

If the buffered broadcast queue contains packets, letting new packets bypass that queue can lead to heavy reordering, since the driver is probably throttling transmission of buffered multicast packets after beacons. Keep buffering packets until the buffer has been cleared (and no client is in powersave mode).

Sriram R authored
Currently when an AP and STA interfaces are active in the same or different radios, regulatory settings are restored whenever the STA disconnects. This restores all channel information including dfs states in all radios. For example, if an AP interface is active in one radio and STA in another, when radar is detected on the AP interface, the dfs state of the channel will be changed to UNAVAILABLE. But when the STA interface disconnects, this issues a regulatory disconnect hint which restores all regulatory settings in all the radios attached and thereby losing the stored dfs state on the other radio where the channel was marked as unavailable earlier. Hence prevent such regulatory restore whenever another active beaconing interface is present in the same or other radios.

If the FTM responder settings are changed simultaneously with the CSA beacon, the buffer size allocated isn't sufficient and we'll have a heap overrun. Fix this.

This fixes stale beacon-int values that would keep a netdev from going up. To reproduce: Create two VAP on one radio. vap1 has beacon-int 100, start it. vap2 has beacon-int 240, start it (and it will fail because beacon-int mismatch). reconfigure vap2 to have beacon-int 100 and start it. It will fail because the stale beacon-int 240 will be used in the ifup path and hostapd never gets a chance to set the new beacon interval.

Commit 4d2c0cda set slave->link to BOND_LINK_DOWN for 802.3ad bonds whenever invalid speed/duplex values were read, to fix a problem with slaves getting into weird states, but in the process, broke tracking of link failures, as going straight to BOND_LINK_DOWN when a link is indeed down (cable pulled, switch rebooted) means we broke out of bond_miimon_inspect()'s BOND_LINK_DOWN case because !link_state was already true, we never incremented commit, and never got a chance to call bond_miimon_commit(), where slave->link_failure_count would be incremented. I believe the simple fix here is to mark the slave as BOND_LINK_FAIL, and let bond_miimon_inspect() transition the link from _FAIL to either _UP or _DOWN, and in the latter case, we now get proper incrementing of link_failure_count again.

Before calling dev_hard_start_xmit(), upper layers tried to cook optimal skb list based on BQL budget. Problem is that GSO packets can end up comsuming more than the BQL budget. Breaking the loop is not useful, since requeued packets are ahead of any packets still in the qdisc. It is also more expensive, since next TX completion will push these packets later, while skbs are not in cpu caches. It is also a behavior difference with TSO packets, that can break the BQL limit by a large amount. Note that drivers should use __netdev_tx_sent_queue() in order to have optimal xmit_more support, and avoid useless atomic operations as shown in the following patch.

Eric Dumazet authored
When qdisc_run() tries to use BQL budget to bulk-dequeue a batch of packets, GSO can later transform this list in another list of skbs, and each skb is sent to device ndo_start_xmit(), one at a time, with skb->xmit_more being set to one but for last skb. Problem is that very often, BQL limit is hit in the middle of the packet train, forcing dev_hard_start_xmit() to stop the bulk send and requeue the end of the list. BQL role is to avoid head of line blocking, making sure a qdisc can deliver high priority packets before low priority ones. But there is no way requeued packets can be bypassed by fresh packets in the qdisc. Aborting the bulk send increases TX softirqs, and hot cache lines (after skb_segment()) are wasted. Note that for TSO packets, we never split a packet in the middle because of BQL limit being hit. Drivers should be able to update BQL counters without flipping/caring about BQL status, if the current skb has xmit_more set. Upper layers are ultimately responsible to stop sending another packet train when BQL limit is hit. Code template in a driver might look like the following : send_doorbell = __netdev_tx_sent_queue(tx_queue, nr_bytes, skb->xmit_more); Note that __netdev_tx_sent_queue() use is not mandatory, since following patch will change dev_hard_start_xmit() to not care about BQL status. But it is highly recommended so that xmit_more full benefits can be reached (less doorbells sent, and less atomic operations as well) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Sniffing mode for L3 HiperSockets requires that no IP addresses are registered with the HW. The preferred way to achieve this is for userspace to delete all the IPs on the interface. But qeth is expected to also tolerate a configuration where that is not the case, by skipping the IP registration when in sniffer mode. Since commit 5f78e29c ("qeth: optimize IP handling in rx_mode callback") reworked the IP registration logic in the L3 subdriver, this no longer works. When the qeth device is set online, qeth_l3_recover_ip() now unconditionally registers all unicast addresses from our internal IP table. While we could fix this particular problem by skipping qeth_l3_recover_ip() on a sniffer device, the more future-proof change is to skip the IP address registration at the lowest level. This way we a) catch any future code path that attempts to register an IP address without considering the sniffer scenario, and b) continue to build up our internal IP table, so that if sniffer mode is switched off later we can operate just like normal.

As Documentation/s390/s390dbf.txt states quite clearly, using any pointer in sprinf-formatted s390dbf debug entries is dangerous. The pointers are dereferenced whenever the trace file is read from. So if the referenced data has a shorter life-time than the trace file, any read operation can result in a use-after-free. So rip out all hazardous use of indirect data, and replace any usage of dev_name() and such by the Bus ID number. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

A timing hazard exists when the network interface is stopped that allows a watchdog timeout to be processed by a separate core in parallel. This creates the potential for the timeout handler to wake the queues while the driver is shutting down, or access registers after their clocks have been removed. The more common case is that the watchdog timeout will produce a warning message which doesn't lead to a crash. The chances of this are greatly increased by the fact that bcm_sysport_netif_stop stops the transmit queues which can easily precipitate a watchdog time- out because of stale trans_start data in the queues. This commit corrects the behavior by ensuring that the watchdog timeout is disabled before enterring bcm_sysport_netif_stop. There are currently only two users of the bcm_sysport_netif_stop function: close and suspend. The close case already handles the issue by exiting the RUNNING state before invoking the driver close service. The suspend case now performs the netif_device_detach to exit the PRESENT state before the call to bcm_sysport_netif_stop rather than after it. These behaviors prevent any future scheduling of the driver timeout service during the window. The netif_tx_stop_all_queues function in bcm_sysport_netif_stop is replaced with netif_tx_disable to ensure synchronization with any transmit or timeout threads that may already be executing on other cores. For symmetry, the netif_device_attach call upon resume is moved to after the call to bcm_sysport_netif_start. Since it wakes the transmit queues it is not necessary to invoke netif_tx_start_all_queues from bcm_sysport_netif_start so it is moved into the driver open service.

A timing hazard exists when the network interface is stopped that allows a watchdog timeout to be processed by a separate core in parallel. This creates the potential for the timeout handler to wake the queues while the driver is shutting down, or access registers after their clocks have been removed. The more common case is that the watchdog timeout will produce a warning message which doesn't lead to a crash. The chances of this are greatly increased by the fact that bcmgenet_netif_stop stops the transmit queues which can easily precipitate a watchdog time- out because of stale trans_start data in the queues. This commit corrects the behavior by ensuring that the watchdog timeout is disabled before enterring bcmgenet_netif_stop. There are currently only two users of the bcmgenet_netif_stop function: close and suspend. The close case already handles the issue by exiting the RUNNING state before invoking the driver close service. The suspend case now performs the netif_device_detach to exit the PRESENT state before the call to bcmgenet_netif_stop rather than after it. These behaviors prevent any future scheduling of the driver timeout service during the window. The netif_tx_stop_all_queues function in bcmgenet_netif_stop is replaced with netif_tx_disable to ensure synchronization with any transmit or timeout threads that may already be executing on other cores. For symmetry, the netif_device_attach call upon resume is moved to after the call to bcmgenet_netif_start. Since it wakes the transmit queues it is not necessary to invoke netif_tx_start_all_queues from bcmgenet_netif_start so it is moved into the driver open service.

If the network becomes (partially) unavailable, say by disabling IPv6, the background ACK transmission routine can get itself into a tizzy by proposing immediate ACK retransmission. Since we're in the call event processor, that happens immediately without returning to the workqueue manager. The condition should clear after a while when either the network comes back or the call times out. Fix this by: (1) When re-proposing an ACK on failed Tx, don't schedule it immediately. This will allow a certain amount of time to elapse before we try again. (2) Enforce a return to the workqueue manager after a certain number of iterations of the call processing loop. (3) Add a backoff delay that increases the delay on deferred ACKs by a jiffy per failed transmission to a limit of HZ. The backoff delay is cleared on a successful return from kernel_sendmsg(). (4) Cancel calls immediately if the opening sendmsg fails. The layer above can arrange retransmission or rotate to another server.

icmp6_send() function is expensive on systems with a large number of interfaces. Every time it’s called, it has to verify that the source address does not correspond to an existing anycast address by looping through every device and every anycast address on the device. This can result in significant delays for a CPU when there are a large number of neighbors and ND timers are frequently timing out and calling neigh_invalidate(). Add anycast addresses to a global hashtable to allow quick searching for matching anycast addresses. This is based on inet6_addr_lst in addrconf.c.

We need to make sure, that the carrier check polling is disabled while suspending. Otherwise we can end up with usbnet_read_cmd() being issued when only usbnet_read_cmd_nopm() is allowed.
