Since commit d25f06ea "vmxnet3: fix netpoll race condition", the vmxnet3 driver fails to build when CONFIG_PCI_MSI is disabled, because it unconditionally references the vmxnet3_msix_rx() function. To fix this, use the same #ifdef in the caller that exists around the function definition.

Without this check someone could easily create a denial of service by injecting multicast-specific queries to enable the bridge snooping part if no real querier issuing periodic general queries is present on the link which would result in the bridge wrongly shutting down ports for multicast traffic as the bridge did not learn about these listeners. With this patch the snooping code is enabled upon receiving valid, general queries only. Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@web.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Linus Lüssing authored
General IGMP and MLD queries are supposed to have the multicast link-local all-nodes address as their destination according to RFC2236 section 9, RFC3376 section 4.1.12/9.1, RFC2710 section 8 and RFC3810 section 5.1.15. Without this check, such malformed IGMP/MLD queries can result in a denial of service: The queries are ignored by most IGMP/MLD listeners therefore they will not respond with an IGMP/MLD report. However, without this patch these malformed MLD queries would enable the snooping part in the bridge code, potentially shutting down the according ports towards these hosts for multicast traffic as the bridge did not learn about these listeners.

Michael S. Tsirkin says: ==================== skbuff: fix skb_segment with zero copy skbs This fixes a bug in skb_segment where it moves frags between skbs without orphaning them. This causes userspace to assume it's safe to reuse the buffer, and receiver gets corrupted data. This further might leak information from the transmitter on the wire. To fix track which skb does a copied frag belong to, and orphan frags when copying them. As we are tracking multiple skbs here, using short names (skb,nskb,fskb,skb_frag,frag) becomes confusing. So before adding another one, I refactor these names slightly. Patch is split out to make it easier to verify that all trasformations are trivially correct. The problem was observed in the field, so I think that the patch is necessary on stable as well. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

skb_segment copies frags around, so we need to copy them carefully to avoid accessing user memory after reporting completion to userspace through a callback. skb_segment doesn't normally happen on datapath: TSO needs to be disabled - so disabling zero copy in this case does not look like a big deal.

vmxnet3's netpoll driver is incorrectly coded. It directly calls vmxnet3_do_poll, which is the driver internal napi poll routine. As the netpoll controller method doesn't block real napi polls in any way, there is a potential for race conditions in which the netpoll controller method and the napi poll method run concurrently. The result is data corruption causing panics such as this one recently observed: PID: 1371 TASK: ffff88023762caa0 CPU: 1 COMMAND: "rs:main Q:Reg" #0 [ffff88023abd5780] machine_kexec at ffffffff81038f3b #1 [ffff88023abd57e0] crash_kexec at ffffffff810c5d92 #2 [ffff88023abd58b0] oops_end at ffffffff8152b570 #3 [ffff88023abd58e0] die at ffffffff81010e0b #4 [ffff88023abd5910] do_trap at ffffffff8152add4 #5 [ffff88023abd5970] do_invalid_op at ffffffff8100cf95 #6 [ffff88023abd5a10] invalid_op at ffffffff8100bf9b [exception RIP: vmxnet3_rq_rx_complete+1968] RIP: ffffffffa00f1e80 RSP: ffff88023abd5ac8 RFLAGS: 00010086 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88023b5dcee0 RCX: 00000000000000c0 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00000000000005f2 RDI: ffff88023b5dcee0 RBP: ffff88023abd5b48 R8: 0000000000000000 R9: ffff88023a3b6048 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000002 R12: ffff8802398d4cd8 R13: ffff88023af35140 R14: ffff88023b60c890 R15: 0000000000000000 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff CS: 0010 SS: 0018 #7 [ffff88023abd5b50] vmxnet3_do_poll at ffffffffa00f204a [vmxnet3] #8 [ffff88023abd5b80] vmxnet3_netpoll at ffffffffa00f209c [vmxnet3] #9 [ffff88023abd5ba0] netpoll_poll_dev at ffffffff81472bb7 The fix is to do as other drivers do, and have the poll controller call the top half interrupt handler, which schedules a napi poll properly to recieve frames Tested by myself, successfully.

Current netback uses gso_type to check whether the skb contains gso offload, and this is wrong. Gso_size is the right one to check gso existence, and gso_type is only used to check gso type.

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "Here I have a fix from Eliad for the minimal channel width calculation in the mac80211 code which lead to monitor mode not working at all for drivers using that. One of my fixes is for an issue noticed by Michal, we clear an already cleared value but do it without locking, so just remove that. The other is for a data leak - we leak two bytes of kernel memory out over the air in QoS NULL frames because those don't get a sequence number assigned in the TX path." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "One more fix and an update for device IDs. There is a bugzilla reported for the fix which is mentioned in the commit message." Along with those...

The pci shutdown handler added in: bnx2: Add pci shutdown handler commit 25bfb1dd created a shutdown down sequence without chip reset if the device was never brought up. This can cause the firmware to shutdown the PHY prematurely and cause MMIO read cycles to be unresponsive. On some systems, it may generate NMI in the bnx2's pci shutdown handler. The fix is to tell the firmware not to shutdown the PHY if there was no prior chip reset. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

DST_NOCOUNT should only be used if an authorized user adds routes locally. In case of routes which are added on behalf of router advertisments this flag must not get used as it allows an unlimited number of routes getting added remotely.

Currently, the PF call to pci_enable_sriov from the PF probe function stalls for 10 seconds times the number of VFs probed on the host. This happens because the way for such VFs to determine of the PF initialization finished, is by attempting to issue reset on the comm-channel and get timeout (after 10s). The PF probe function is called from a kenernel workqueue, and therefore during that time, rcu lock is being held and kernel's workqueue is stalled. This blocks other processes that try to use the workqueue or rcu lock. For example, interface renaming which is calling rcu_synchronize is blocked, and timedout by systemd. Changed mlx4_init_slave() to allow VF probed on the host to immediatly detect that the PF is not ready, and return EPROBE_DEFER instantly. Only when the PF finishes the initialization, allow such VFs to access the comm channel. This issue and fix are relevant only for probed VFs on the hypervisor, there is no way to pass this information to a VM until comm channel is ready, so in a VM, if PF is not ready, the first command will be timedout after 10 seconds and return EPROBE_DEFER.
