      libceph: use sendpage_ok() in ceph_tcp_sendpage() · 40efc4dc
      Coly Li authored
      In libceph, ceph_tcp_sendpage() does the following checks before handle
      the page by network layer's zero copy sendpage method,
      	if (page_count(page) >= 1 && !PageSlab(page))
      
      This check is exactly what sendpage_ok() does. This patch replace the
      open coded checks by sendpage_ok() as a code cleanup.

      scsi: libiscsi: use sendpage_ok() in iscsi_tcp_segment_map() · 6aa25c73
      Coly Li authored
      In iscsci driver, iscsi_tcp_segment_map() uses the following code to
      check whether the page should or not be handled by sendpage:
          if (!recv && page_count(sg_page(sg)) >= 1 && !PageSlab(sg_page(sg)))
      
      The "page_count(sg_page(sg)) >= 1 && !PageSlab(sg_page(sg)" part is to
      make sure the page can be sent to network layer's zero copy path. This
      part is exactly what sendpage_ok() does.
      
      This patch uses  use sendpage_ok() in iscsi_tcp_segment_map() to replace
      the original open coded checks.

      drbd: code cleanup by using sendpage_ok() to check page for kernel_sendpage() · fb25ebe1
      Coly Li authored
      In _drbd_send_page() a page is checked by following code before sending
      it by kernel_sendpage(),
              (page_count(page) < 1) || PageSlab(page)
      If the check is true, this page won't be send by kernel_sendpage() and
      handled by sock_no_sendpage().
      
      This kind of check is exactly what macro sendpage_ok() does, which is
      introduced into include/linux/net.h to solve a similar send page issue
      in nvme-tcp code.
      
      This patch uses macro sendpage_ok() to replace the open coded checks to
      page type and refcount in _drbd_send_page(), as a code cleanup.

      tcp: use sendpage_ok() to detect misused .sendpage · cf83a17e
      Coly Li authored
      commit a10674bf ("tcp: detecting the misuse of .sendpage for Slab
      objects") adds the checks for Slab pages, but the pages don't have
      page_count are still missing from the check.
      
      Network layer's sendpage method is not designed to send page_count 0
      pages neither, therefore both PageSlab() and page_count() should be
      both checked for the sending page. This is exactly what sendpage_ok()
      does.
      
      This patch uses sendpage_ok() in do_tcp_sendpages() to detect misused
      .sendpage, to make the code more robust.

      nvme-tcp: check page by sendpage_ok() before calling kernel_sendpage() · 7d4194ab
      Coly Li authored
      Currently nvme_tcp_try_send_data() doesn't use kernel_sendpage() to
      send slab pages. But for pages allocated by __get_free_pages() without
      __GFP_COMP, which also have refcount as 0, they are still sent by
      kernel_sendpage() to remote end, this is problematic.
      
      The new introduced helper sendpage_ok() checks both PageSlab tag and
      page_count counter, and returns true if the checking page is OK to be
      sent by kernel_sendpage().
      
      This patch fixes the page checking issue of nvme_tcp_try_send_data()
      with sendpage_ok(). If sendpage_ok() returns true, send this page by
      kernel_sendpage(), otherwise use sock_no_sendpage to handle this page.

      net: add WARN_ONCE in kernel_sendpage() for improper zero-copy send · 7b62d31d
      Coly Li authored
      If a page sent into kernel_sendpage() is a slab page or it doesn't have
      ref_count, this page is improper to send by the zero copy sendpage()
      method. Otherwise such page might be unexpected released in network code
      path and causes impredictable panic due to kernel memory management data
      structure corruption.
      
      This path adds a WARN_ON() on the sending page before sends it into the
      concrete zero-copy sendpage() method, if the page is improper for the
      zero-copy sendpage() method, a warning message can be observed before
      the consequential unpredictable kernel panic.
      
      This patch does not change existing kernel_sendpage() behavior for the
      improper page zero-copy send, it just provides hint warning message for
      following potential panic due the kernel memory heap corruption.

      net: introduce helper sendpage_ok() in include/linux/net.h · c381b079
      Coly Li authored
      The original problem was from nvme-over-tcp code, who mistakenly uses
      kernel_sendpage() to send pages allocated by __get_free_pages() without
      __GFP_COMP flag. Such pages don't have refcount (page_count is 0) on
      tail pages, sending them by kernel_sendpage() may trigger a kernel panic
      from a corrupted kernel heap, because these pages are incorrectly freed
      in network stack as page_count 0 pages.
      
      This patch introduces a helper sendpage_ok(), it returns true if the
      checking page,
      - is not slab page: PageSlab(page) is false.
      - has page refcount: page_count(page) is not zero
      
      All drivers who want to send page to remote end by kernel_sendpage()
      may use this helper to check whether the page is OK. If the helper does
      not return true, the driver should try other non sendpage method (e.g.
      sock_no_sendpage()) to handle the page.

      net: usb: pegasus: Proper error handing when setting pegasus' MAC address · f30e25a9
      Petko Manolov authored
      v2:
      
      If reading the MAC address from eeprom fail don't throw an error, use randomly
      generated MAC instead.  Either way the adapter will soldier on and the return
      type of set_ethernet_addr() can be reverted to void.
      
      v1:
      
      Fix a bug in set_ethernet_addr() which does not take into account possible
      errors (or partial reads) returned by its helpers.  This can potentially lead to
      writing random data into device's MAC address registers.
