Datasheet says that the Message Port bit should not be set for the CPU port. Having it set causes DSA tagged packets to be sent to the CPU port roughly every 30 seconds. Those packets are the same as real packets forwarded between switch ports if the switch is configured for switching between multiple ports. The packets are then bridged by the software bridge, resulting in duplicated packets on the network.

Since 39b2bbe3 (gpio: add flags argument to gpiod_get*() functions) which appeared in v3.17-rc1, the gpiod_get* functions take an additional parameter that allows to specify direction and initial value for output. Simplify accordingly. Moreover use devm_gpiod_get_index_optional for still simpler handling. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree. Basically, nf_tables updates to add the set extension infrastructure and finish the transaction for sets from Patrick McHardy. More specifically, they are: 1) Move netns to basechain and use recently added possible_net_t, from Patrick McHardy. 2) Use LOGLEVEL_<FOO> from nf_log infrastructure, from Joe Perches. 3) Restore nf_log_trace that was accidentally removed during conflict resolution. 4) nft_queue does not depend on NETFILTER_XTABLES, starting from here all patches from Patrick McHardy. 5) Use raw_smp_processor_id() in nft_meta. Then, several patches to prepare ground for the new set extension infrastructure: 6) Pass object length to the hash callback in rhashtable as needed by the new set extension infrastructure. 7) Cleanup patch to restore struct nft_hash as wrapper for struct rhashtable 8) Another small source code readability cleanup for nft_hash. 9) Convert nft_hash to rhashtable callbacks. And finally... 10) Add the new set extension infrastructure. 11) Convert the nft_hash and nft_rbtree sets to use it. 12) Batch set element release to avoid several RCU grace period in a row and add new function nft_set_elem_destroy() to consolidate set element release. 13) Return the set extension data area from nft_lookup. 14) Refactor existing transaction code to add some helper functions and document it. 15) Complete the set transaction support, using similar approach to what we already use, to activate/deactivate elements in an atomic fashion. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

TIPC node hash node table is protected with rcu lock on read side. tipc_node_find() is used to look for a node object with node address through iterating the hash node table. As the entire process of what tipc_node_find() traverses the table is guarded with rcu read lock, it's safe for us. However, when callers use the node object returned by tipc_node_find(), there is no rcu read lock applied. Therefore, this is absolutely unsafe for callers of tipc_node_find(). Now we introduce a reference counter for node structure. Before tipc_node_find() returns node object to its caller, it first increases the reference counter. Accordingly, after its caller used it up, it decreases the counter again. This can prevent a node being used by one thread from being freed by another thread.

But especially when the retransmission of broadcast link is failed, bclink->lock is first held in tipc_bclink_rcv(), and n_ptr->lock is taken in link_retransmit_failure() called by tipc_link_retransmit() subsequently, which is demonstrated on CPU0. As a result, deadlock occurs. If the order of holding the two locks happening on CPU0 is reversed, the deadlock risk will be relieved. Therefore, the node lock taken in link_retransmit_failure() originally is moved to tipc_bclink_rcv() so that it's obtained before bclink lock. But the precondition of the adjustment of node lock is that responding to bclink reset event must be moved from tipc_bclink_unlock() to tipc_node_unlock().

Patrick McHardy authored
Set elements are the last object type not supporting transaction support. Implement similar to the existing rule transactions: The global transaction counter keeps track of two generations, current and next. Each element contains a bitmask specifying in which generations it is inactive. New elements start out as inactive in the current generation and active in the next. On commit, the previous next generation becomes the current generation and the element becomes active. The bitmask is then cleared to indicate that the element is active in all future generations. If the transaction is aborted, the element is removed from the set before it becomes active. When removing an element, it gets marked as inactive in the next generation. On commit the next generation becomes active and the therefor the element inactive. It is then taken out of then set and released. On abort, the element is marked as active for the next generation again. Lookups ignore elements not active in the current generation. The current set types (hash/rbtree) both use a field in the extension area to store the generation mask. This (currently) does not require any additional memory since we have some free space in there. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

Patrick McHardy authored
With the conversion to set extensions, it is now possible to consolidate the different set element destruction functions. The set implementations' ->remove() functions are changed to only take the element out of their internal data structures. Elements will be freed in a batched fashion after the global transaction's completion RCU grace period. This reduces the amount of grace periods required for nft_hash from N to zero additional ones, additionally this guarantees that the set elements' extensions of all implementations can be used under RCU protection.

Jon Paul Maloy authored
Despite recent improvements, the establishment of dual parallel links still has a small glitch where messages can bypass each other. When the second link in a dual-link configuration is established, part of the first link's traffic will be steered over to the new link. Although we do have a mechanism to ensure that packets sent before and after the establishment of the new link arrive in sequence to the destination node, this is not enough. The arriving messages will still be delivered upwards in different threads, something entailing a risk of message disordering during the transition phase. To fix this, we introduce a synchronization mechanism between the two parallel links, so that traffic arriving on the new link cannot be added to its input queue until we are guaranteed that all pre-establishment messages have been delivered on the old, parallel link. This problem seems to always have been around, but its occurrence is so rare that it has not been noticed until recent intensive testing.

After the recent changes in message importance handling it becomes possible to simplify handling of messages and sockets when we encounter link congestion. We merge the function tipc_link_cong() into link_schedule_user(), and simplify the code of the latter. The code should now be easier to follow, especially regarding return codes and handling of the message that caused the situation. In case the scheduling function is unable to pre-allocate a wakeup message buffer, it now returns -ENOBUFS, which is a more correct code than the previously used -EHOSTUNREACH.

Currently, we only use a single counter; the length of the backlog queue, to determine whether a message should be accepted to the queue or not. Each time a message is being sent, the queue length is compared to a threshold value for the message's importance priority. If the queue length is beyond this threshold, the message is rejected. This algorithm implies a risk of starvation of low importance senders during very high load, because it may take a long time before the backlog queue has decreased enough to accept a lower level message. We now eliminate this risk by introducing a counter for each importance priority. When a message is sent, we check only the queue level for that particular message's priority. If that is ok, the message can be added to the backlog, irrespective of the queue level for other priorities. This way, each level is guaranteed a certain portion of the total bandwidth, and any risk of starvation is eliminated.
