      net: fec_main: dma_map() only the length of the skb · 2488a54e
      Sebastian Siewior authored
      On tx submit the driver always dma_map_single() FEC_ENET_TX_FRSIZE (=2048)
      bytes. This works because we don't overwrite any memory after the data buffer,
      we remove it from cache if it was there. So we hurt performace in case the
      mapping of a smaller area makes a difference.
      There is also a bug: If the data area starts shortly before the end of
      RAM say 0xc7fffa10 and the RAM ends at 0xc8000000 then we have enough
      space to fit the data area (according to skb->len) but we would map beyond
      end of ram if we are using 2048. In v2.6.31 (against which kernel this patch
      made) there is the following check in dma_cache_maint():
      
      |BUG_ON(!virt_addr_valid(start) || !virt_addr_valid(start + size - 1));
      
      Since the area starting at 0xc8000000 is no longer virt_addr_valid() we
      BUG() during dma_map_single(). The BUG() statement was removed in v3.5-rc1 as
      per 2dc6a016 ("ARM: dma-mapping: use asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h").
      
      This patch was tested on v2.6.31 and then forward-ported and compile
      tested only against the net tree. I think it is still worth fixing
      mainline even after the BUG() statement is gone.

      When only one port of the two port is pinned out, then dt probe is failing

      PCI / tg3: Give up chip reset and carrier loss handling if PCI device is not present · 8496e85c
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      Modify tg3_chip_reset() and tg3_close() to check if the PCI network
      adapter device is accessible at all in order to skip poking it or
      trying to handle a carrier loss in vain when that's not the case.
      Introduce a special PCI helper function pci_device_is_present()
      for this purpose.
      
      Of course, this uncovers the lack of the appropriate RTNL locking
      in tg3_suspend() and tg3_resume(), so add that locking in there
      too.
      
      These changes prevent tg3 from burning a CPU at 100% load level for
      solid several seconds after the Thunderbolt link is disconnected from
      a Matrox DS1 docking station.

      ipv6: judge the accept_ra_defrtr before calling rt6_route_rcv · 30e56918
      Duan Jiong authored
      when dealing with a RA message, if accept_ra_defrtr is false,
      the kernel will not add the default route, and then deal with
      the following route information options. Unfortunately, those
      options maybe contain default route, so let's judge the
      accept_ra_defrtr before calling rt6_route_rcv.

       "Here is a pile of bug fixes that accumulated while I was in Europe"
      
       1) In fixing kernel leaks to userspace during copying of socket
          addresses, we broke a case that used to work, namely the user
          providing a buffer larger than the in-kernel generic socket address
          structure.  This broke Ruby amongst other things.  Fix from Dan
          Carpenter.
      
       2) Fix regression added by byte queue limit support in 8139cp driver,
          from Yang Yingliang.
      
       3) The addition of MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST buggered up a few sendpage
          implementations, they should just treat it the same as MSG_MORE.
          Fix from Richard Weinberger and Shawn Landden.
      
       4) Handle icmpv4 errors received on ipv6 SIT tunnels correctly, from
          Oussama Ghorbel.  In particular we should send an ICMPv6 unreachable
          in such situations.
      
       5) Fix some regressions in the recent genetlink fixes, in particular
          get the pmcraid driver to use the new safer interfaces correctly.
          From Johannes Berg.
      
       6) macvtap was converted to use a per-cpu set of statistics, but some
          code was still bumping tx_dropped elsewhere.  From Jason Wang.
      
       7) Fix build failure of xen-netback due to missing include on some
          architectures, from Andy Whitecroft.
      
       8) macvtap double counts received packets in statistics, fix from Vlad
          Yasevich.
      
       9) Fix various cases of using *_STATS_BH() when *_STATS() is more
          appropriate.  From Eric Dumazet and Hannes Frederic Sowa.
      
      10) Pktgen ipsec mode doesn't update the ipv4 header length and checksum
          properly after encapsulation.  Fix from Fan Du.

      vfs: fix subtle use-after-free of pipe_inode_info · b0d8d229
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The pipe code was trying (and failing) to be very careful about freeing
      the pipe info only after the last access, with a pattern like:
      
              spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
              if (!--pipe->files) {
                      inode->i_pipe = NULL;
                      kill = 1;
              }
              spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
              __pipe_unlock(pipe);
              if (kill)
                      free_pipe_info(pipe);
      
      where the final freeing is done last.
      
      HOWEVER.  The above is actually broken, because while the freeing is
      done at the end, if we have two racing processes releasing the pipe
      inode info, the one that *doesn't* free it will decrement the ->files
      count, and unlock the inode i_lock, but then still use the
      "pipe_inode_info" afterwards when it does the "__pipe_unlock(pipe)".
      
      This is *very* hard to trigger in practice, since the race window is
      very small, and adding debug options seems to just hide it by slowing
      things down.
      
      Simon originally reported this way back in July as an Oops in
      kmem_cache_allocate due to a single bit corruption (due to the final
      "spin_unlock(pipe->mutex.wait_lock)" incrementing a field in a different
      allocation that had re-used the free'd pipe-info), it's taken this long
      to figure out.
      
      Since the 'pipe->files' accesses aren't even protected by the pipe lock
      (we very much use the inode lock for that), the simple solution is to
      just drop the pipe lock early.  And since there were two users of this
      pattern, create a helper function for it.
      
      Introduced commit ba5bb147 ("pipe: take allocation and freeing of
      pipe_inode_info out of ->i_mutex").

      {pktgen, xfrm} Update IPv4 header total len and checksum after tranformation · 3868204d
      fan.du authored
      commit a553e4a6 ("[PKTGEN]: IPSEC support")
      tried to support IPsec ESP transport transformation for pktgen, but acctually
      this doesn't work at all for two reasons(The orignal transformed packet has
      bad IPv4 checksum value, as well as wrong auth value, reported by wireshark)
      
      - After transpormation, IPv4 header total length needs update,
        because encrypted payload's length is NOT same as that of plain text.
      
      - After transformation, IPv4 checksum needs re-caculate because of payload
        has been changed.
      
      With this patch, armmed pktgen with below cofiguration, Wireshark is able to
      decrypted ESP packet generated by pktgen without any IPv4 checksum error or
      auth value error.

      virtio_net: fix error handling for mergeable buffers · 8fc3b9e9
      Michael S. Tsirkin authored
      Eric Dumazet noticed that if we encounter an error
      when processing a mergeable buffer, we don't
      dequeue all of the buffers from this packet,
      the result is almost sure to be loss of networking.
      
      Jason Wang noticed that we also leak a page and that we don't decrement
      the rq buf count, so we won't repost buffers (a resource leak).
      
      Fix both issues.
