commit f983827b upstream. Joseph Lo <josephl@nvidia.com> reported a lockup on Tegra20 caused by a race condition in coupled cpuidle. When two or more cpus enter idle at the same time, the first cpus to arrive may go to the ready loop without processing pending pokes from the last cpu to arrive. This patch adds a check for pending pokes once all cpus have been synchronized in the ready loop and resets the coupled state and retries if any cpus failed to handle their pending poke. Retrying on all cpus may trigger the same issue again, so this patch also adds a check to ensure that each cpu has received at least one poke between when it enters the waiting loop and when it moves on to the ready loop.

commit 5f338d90 upstream. With the current implementation, the callback in the tail of the list can be added twice, because the check done in gnttab_request_free_callback is bogus, callback->next can be NULL if it is the last callback in the list. If we add the same callback twice we end up with an infinite loop, were callback == callback->next. Replace this check with a proper one that iterates over the list to see if the callback has already been added. Signed-off-by:

commit 363edbe2 upstream. When adding cpuidle support to pSeries, we introduced two regressions: - The new cpuidle backend driver only works under hypervisors supporting the "SLPLAR" option, which isn't the case of the old POWER4 hypervisor and the HV "light" used on js2x blades - The cpuidle driver registers fairly late, meaning that for a significant portion of the boot process, we end up having all threads spinning. This slows down the boot process and increases the overall resource usage if the hypervisor has shared processors. This fixes both by implementing a "default" idle that will cede to the hypervisor when possible, in a very simple way without all the bells and whisles of cpuidle. Reported-by:

commit 230aef7a upstream. Normally when we haven't implemented an alignment handler for a load or store instruction the process will be terminated. The alignment handler uses the DSISR (or a pseudo one) to locate the right handler. Unfortunately ldbrx and stdbrx overlap lfs and stfs so we incorrectly think ldbrx is an lfs and stdbrx is an stfs. This bug is particularly nasty - instead of terminating the process we apply an incorrect fixup and continue on. With more and more overlapping instructions we should stop creating a pseudo DSISR and index using the instruction directly, but for now add a special case to catch ldbrx/stdbrx. Signed-off-by:

commit 1211c961 upstream. Bug 60747 - 1286:2044 [Microsoft Surface Pro] Marvell 88W8797 wifi show 3 interface under network https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60747 This issue was also reported previously by OLPC and some folks from the community. There are 3 network interfaces with different types being created when mwifiex driver is loaded: 1. mlan0 (infra. STA) 2. uap0 (AP) 3. p2p0 (P2P_CLIENT) The Network Manager attempts to use all 3 interfaces above without filtering the managed interface type. As the result, 3 identical interfaces are displayed under network manager. If user happens to click on an entry under which its interface is uap0 or p2p0, the association will fail. Work around it by removing the creation of AP and P2P interfaces at driver loading time. These interfaces can be added with 'iw' or other applications manually when they are needed. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 71408602 ] This commit fixes a long-standing bug that has been reported by many users: on some Armada 370 platforms, only the network interface that has been used in U-Boot to tftp the kernel works properly in Linux. The other network interfaces can see a 'link up', but are unable to transmit data. The reports were generally made on the Armada 370-based Mirabox, but have also been given on the Armada 370-RD board. The network MAC in the Armada 370/XP (supported by the mvneta driver in Linux) has a functionality that allows it to continuously poll the PHY and directly update the MAC configuration accordingly (speed, duplex, etc.). The very first versions of the driver submitted for review were using this hardware mechanism, but due to this, the driver was not integrated with the kernel phylib. Following reviews, the driver was changed to use the phylib, and therefore a software based polling. In software based polling, Linux regularly talks to the PHY over the MDIO bus, and sees if the link status has changed. If it's the case then the adjust_link() callback of the driver is called to update the MAC configuration accordingly. However, it turns out that the adjust_link() callback was not configuring the hardware in a completely correct way: while it was setting the speed and duplex bits correctly, it wasn't telling the hardware to actually take into account those bits rather than what the hardware-based PHY polling mechanism has concluded. So, in fact the adjust_link() callback was basically a no-op. However, the network happened to be working because on the network interfaces used by U-Boot for tftp on Armada 370 platforms because the hardware PHY polling was enabled by the bootloader, and left enabled by Linux. However, the second network interface not used for tftp (or both network interfaces if the kernel is loaded from USB, NAND or SD card) didn't had the hardware PHY polling enabled. This patch fixes this situation by: (1) Making sure that the hardware PHY polling is disabled by clearing the MVNETA_PHY_POLLING_ENABLE bit in the MVNETA_UNIT_CONTROL register in the driver ->probe() function. (2) Making sure that the duplex and speed selections made by the adjust_link() callback are taken into account by clearing the MVNETA_GMAC_AN_SPEED_EN and MVNETA_GMAC_AN_DUPLEX_EN bits in the MVNETA_GMAC_AUTONEG_CONFIG register. This patch has been tested on Armada 370 Mirabox, and now both network interfaces are usable after boot.

[ Upstream commit 702821f4 ] commit 8728c544 ("net: dev_pick_tx() fix") and commit b6fe83e9 ("bonding: refine IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE capability") are quite incompatible : Queue selection is disabled because skb dst was dropped before entering bonding device. This causes major performance regression, mainly because TCP packets for a given flow can be sent to multiple queues. This is particularly visible when using the new FQ packet scheduler with MQ + FQ setup on the slaves. We can safely revert the first commit now that 416186fb ("net: Split core bits of netdev_pick_tx into __netdev_pick_tx") properly caps the queue_index. Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit 25a6e6b8 ] Allocating skbs when sending out neighbour discovery messages currently uses sock_alloc_send_skb() based on a per net namespace socket and thus share a socket wmem buffer space. If a netdevice is temporarily unable to transmit due to carrier loss or for other reasons, the queued up ndisc messages will cosnume all of the wmem space and will thus prevent from any more skbs to be allocated even for netdevices that are able to transmit packets. The number of neighbour discovery messages sent is very limited, use of alloc_skb() bypasses the socket wmem buffer size enforcement while the manual call to skb_set_owner_w() maintains the socket reference needed for the IPv6 output path.

[ Upstream commit 8a8e3d84 ] commit 56b765b7 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates") broke the "linklayer atm" handling. tc class add ... htb rate X ceil Y linklayer atm The linklayer setting is implemented by modifying the rate table which is send to the kernel. No direct parameter were transferred to the kernel indicating the linklayer setting. The commit 56b765b7 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates") removed the use of the rate table system. To keep compatible with older iproute2 utils, this patch detects the linklayer by parsing the rate table. It also supports future versions of iproute2 to send this linklayer parameter to the kernel directly. This is done by using the __reserved field in struct tc_ratespec, to convey the choosen linklayer option, but only using the lower 4 bits of this field. Linklayer detection is limited to speeds below 100Mbit/s, because at high rates the rtab is gets too inaccurate, so bad that several fields contain the same values, this resembling the ATM detect. Fields even start to contain "0" time to send, e.g. at 1000Mbit/s sending a 96 bytes packet cost "0", thus the rtab have been more broken than we first realized. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 4b08a8f1 ] Because of the max_addresses check attackers were able to disable privacy extensions on an interface by creating enough autoconfigured addresses: <http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2012/q4/292> But the check is not actually needed: max_addresses protects the kernel to install too many ipv6 addresses on an interface and guards addrconf_prefix_rcv to install further addresses as soon as this limit is reached. We only generate temporary addresses in direct response of a new address showing up. As soon as we filled up the maximum number of addresses of an interface, we stop installing more addresses and thus also stop generating more temp addresses. Even if the attacker tries to generate a lot of temporary addresses by announcing a prefix and removing it again (lifetime == 0) we won't install more temp addresses, because the temporary addresses do count to the maximum number of addresses, thus we would stop installing new autoconfigured addresses when the limit is reached. This patch fixes CVE-2013-0343 (but other layer-2 attacks are still possible). Thanks to Ding Tianhong to bring this topic up again. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 3e805ad2 ] Fix the iproute2 command `bridge vlan show`, after switching from rtgenmsg to ifinfomsg. Let's start with a little history: Feb 20: Vlad Yasevich got his VLAN-aware bridge patchset included in the 3.9 merge window. In the kernel commit 6cbdceeb, he added attribute support to bridge GETLINK requests sent with rtgenmsg. Mar 6th: Vlad got this iproute2 reference implementation of the bridge vlan netlink interface accepted (iproute2 9eff0e5c) Apr 25th: iproute2 switched from using rtgenmsg to ifinfomsg (63338dca) http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/239602/ http://marc.info/?t=136680900700007 Apr 28th: Linus released 3.9 Apr 30th: Stephen released iproute2 3.9.0 The `bridge vlan show` command haven't been working since the switch to ifinfomsg, or in a released version of iproute2. Since the kernel side only supports rtgenmsg, which iproute2 switched away from just prior to the iproute2 3.9.0 release. I haven't been able to find any documentation, about neither rtgenmsg nor ifinfomsg, and in which situation to use which, but kernel commit 88c5b5ce seams to suggest that ifinfomsg should be used. Fixing this in kernel will break compatibility, but I doubt that anybody have been using it due to this bug in the user space reference implementation, at least not without noticing this bug. That said the functionality is still fully functional in 3.9, when reversing iproute2 commit 63338dca. This could also be fixed in iproute2, but thats an ugly patch that would reintroduce rtgenmsg in iproute2, and from searching in netdev it seams like rtgenmsg usage is discouraged. I'm assuming that the only reason that Vlad implemented the kernel side to use rtgenmsg, was because iproute2 was using it at the time. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 4221f405 ] Using inner-id for tunnel id is not safe in some rare cases. E.g. packets coming from multiple sources entering same tunnel can have same id. Therefore on tunnel packet receive we could have packets from two different stream but with same source and dst IP with same ip-id which could confuse ip packet reassembly. Following patch reverts optimization from commit 490ab081 (IP_GRE: Fix IP-Identification.) Signed-off-by:
