They aren't functionality changes so not targeting net-next; and they are not show stopper bugs that need to go to stable either. v2 - drop the irq flags patch, defer it to net-next - split the multicast filter flag patch out - change propogate rx mode patch to handle startup of vf ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The netvsc device should propagate filters to the SR-IOV VF device (if present). The flags also need to be propagated to the VF device as well.

XDP_REDIRECT support for mergeable buffer was removed since commit 7324f539 ("virtio_net: disable XDP_REDIRECT in receive_mergeable() case"). This is because we don't reserve enough tailroom for struct skb_shared_info which breaks XDP assumption. So this patch fixes this by reserving enough tailroom and using fixed size of rx buffer.

Guillaume Nault authored
PPP units don't hold any reference on the channels connected to it. It is the channel's responsibility to ensure that it disconnects from its unit before being destroyed. In practice, this is ensured by ppp_unregister_channel() disconnecting the channel from the unit before dropping a reference on the channel. However, it is possible for an unregistered channel to connect to a PPP unit: register a channel with ppp_register_net_channel(), attach a /dev/ppp file to it with ioctl(PPPIOCATTCHAN), unregister the channel with ppp_unregister_channel() and finally connect the /dev/ppp file to a PPP unit with ioctl(PPPIOCCONNECT). Once in this situation, the channel is only held by the /dev/ppp file, which can be released at anytime and free the channel without letting the parent PPP unit know. Then the ppp structure ends up with dangling pointers in its ->channels list. Prevent this scenario by forbidding unregistered channels from connecting to PPP units. This maintains the code logic by keeping ppp_unregister_channel() responsible from disconnecting the channel if necessary and avoids modification on the reference counting mechanism. This issue seems to predate git history (successfully reproduced on Linux 2.6.26 and earlier PPP commits are unrelated). Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@alphalink.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

Daniel Axtens says: ==================== GSO_BY_FRAGS correctness improvements As requested [1], I went through and had a look at users of gso_size to see if there were things that need to be fixed to consider GSO_BY_FRAGS, and I have tried to improve our helper functions to deal with this case. I found a few. This fixes bugs relating to the use of skb_gso_*_seglen() where GSO_BY_FRAGS is not considered. Patch 1 renames skb_gso_validate_mtu to skb_gso_validate_network_len. This is follow-up to my earlier patch 2b16f048 ("net: create skb_gso_validate_mac_len()"), and just makes everything a bit clearer. Patches 2 and 3 replace the final users of skb_gso_network_seglen() - which doesn't consider GSO_BY_FRAGS - with skb_gso_validate_network_len(), which does. This allows me to make the skb_gso_*_seglen functions private in patch 4 - now future users won't accidentally do the wrong comparison. Two things remain. One is qdisc_pkt_len_init, which is discussed at [2] - it's caught up in the GSO_DODGY mess. I don't have any expertise in GSO_DODGY, and it looks like a good clean fix will involve unpicking the whole validation mess, so I have left it for now. Secondly, there are 3 eBPF opcodes that change the gso_size of an SKB and don't consider GSO_BY_FRAGS. This is going through the bpf tree. Regards, Daniel [1] https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/comment/1852414/ [2] https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg482397.html PS: This is all in the core networking stack. For a driver to be affected by this it would need to support NETIF_F_GSO_SCTP / NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE and then either use gso_size or not be a purely virtual device. (Many drivers look at gso_size, but do not support SCTP segmentation, so the core network will segment an SCTP gso before it hits them.) Based on that, the only driver that may be affected is sunvnet, but I have no way of testing it, so I haven't looked at it. v2: split out bpf stuff fix review comments from Dave Miller ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

They're very hard to use properly as they do not consider the GSO_BY_FRAGS case. Code should use skb_gso_validate_network_len and skb_gso_validate_mac_len as they do consider this case.

tbf_enqueue() checks the size of a packet before enqueuing it. However, the GSO size check does not consider the GSO_BY_FRAGS case, and so will drop GSO SCTP packets, causing a massive drop in throughput. Use skb_gso_validate_mac_len() instead, as it does consider that case.

If you take a GSO skb, and split it into packets, will the network length (L3 headers + L4 headers + payload) of those packets be small enough to fit within a given MTU? skb_gso_validate_mtu gives you the answer to that question. However, we recently added to add a way to validate the MAC length of a split GSO skb (L2+L3+L4+payload), and the names get confusing, so rename skb_gso_validate_mtu to skb_gso_validate_network_len Signed-off-by: Daniel Axtens <dja@axtens.net> Reviewed-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Re-enable deep flush so that users always have a way to be sure that a write makes it all the way out to media. Writes from the PMEM driver always arrive at the NVDIMM since movnt is used to bypass the cache, and the driver relies on the ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) mechanism to flush write buffers on power failure. The Deep Flush mechanism is there to explicitly write buffers to protect against (rare) ADR failure. This change prevents a regression in deep flush behavior so that applications can continue to depend on fsync() as a mechanism to trigger deep flush in the filesystem-DAX case.

Filesystem-DAX is incompatible with 'longterm' page pinning. Without page cache indirection a DAX mapping maps filesystem blocks directly. This means that the filesystem must not modify a file's block map while any page in a mapping is pinned. In order to prevent the situation of userspace holding of filesystem operations indefinitely, disallow 'longterm' Filesystem-DAX mappings. RDMA has the same conflict and the plan there is to add a 'with lease' mechanism to allow the kernel to notify userspace that the mapping is being torn down for block-map maintenance. Perhaps something similar can be put in place for vfio. Note that xfs and ext4 still report: "DAX enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk" ...at mount time, and resolving the dax-dma-vs-truncate problem is one of the last hurdles to remove that designation.
