phy_device->supported is originally set by the PHY driver. The ethernet driver should filter phy_device->supported to only contain flags supported by the IP. The IP supports setting rx and tx flow control independently, therefore SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_Asym_Pause should not be cleared. If the flags are cleared, pause frames cannot be enabled (even if they are supported by the PHY).

After Jesper commit back in linux-3.18, we trigger a lockdep splat in proc_create_data() while allocating memory from pktgen_change_name(). This patch converts t->if_lock to a mutex, since it is now only used from control path, and adds proper locking to pktgen_change_name() 1) pktgen_thread_lock to protect the outer loop (iterating threads) 2) t->if_lock to protect the inner loop (iterating devices) Note that before Jesper patch, pktgen_change_name() was lacking proper protection, but lockdep was not able to detect the problem.

Currently, socket lookups for l3mdev (vrf) use cases can match a socket that is bound to a port but not a device (ie., a global socket). If the sysctl tcp_l3mdev_accept is not set this leads to ack packets going out based on the main table even though the packet came in from an L3 domain. The end result is that the connection does not establish creating confusion for users since the service is running and a socket shows in ss output. Fix by requiring an exact dif to sk_bound_dev_if match if the skb came through an interface enslaved to an l3mdev device and the tcp_l3mdev_accept is not set. skb's through an l3mdev interface are marked by setting a flag in inet{6}_skb_parm. The IPv6 variant is already set; this patch adds the flag for IPv4. Using an skb flag avoids a device lookup on the dif. The flag is set in the VRF driver using the IP{6}CB macros. For IPv4, the inet_skb_parm struct is moved in the cb per commit 971f10ec, so the match function in the TCP stack needs to use TCP_SKB_CB. For IPv6, the move is done after the socket lookup, so IP6CB is used. The flags field in inet_skb_parm struct needs to be increased to add another flag. There is currently a 1-byte hole following the flags, so it can be expanded to u16 without increasing the size of the struct.

Some crypto implementations (such as the generic CCM wrapper in crypto/) use scatterlists to map fields of private data in their struct aead_req. This means these data structures cannot live in the vmalloc area, which means that they cannot live on the stack (with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK.) This currently occurs only with the generic software implementation, but the private data and usage is implementation specific, so move the whole data structures off the stack into heap by allocating every time we need to use them. In addition, take care not to put any of our own stack allocations into scatterlists. This involves reserving some extra room when allocating the aead_request structures, and referring to those allocations in the scatter- lists (while copying the data from the stack before the crypto operation) Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

There is a race condition that can occur if EMAC interrupts are enabled when phy_disconnect() is called. phy_disconnect() sets adjust_link to NULL. When an interrupt occurs, the ISR might call phy_mac_interrupt(), which wakes up the workqueue function phy_state_machine(). This function might reference adjust_link, thereby causing a null pointer exception. Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi <timur@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

PCI devices that are 64-bit DMA capable should set the coherent DMA mask as well as the streaming DMA mask. On some architectures, these are managed separately, and so the coherent DMA mask will be left at its default value of 32 if it is not set explicitly.

In cases where the number of tx rings is not a multiple of the number of rx rings, the tx completion event will be handled on a different core from the transmit and population of the ring. Races on the ring will lead to a double-free of the page, and possibly other corruption. The rings are initialized by default with a valid multiple of rings, based on the number of cpus, therefore an invalid configuration requires ethtool to change the ring layout. For instance 'ethtool -L eth0 rx 9 tx 8' will cause packets received on rx0, and XDP_TX'd to tx48, to be completed on cpu3 (48 % 9 == 3). Resolve this discrepancy by shifting the irq for the xdp tx queues to start again from 0, modulo rx_ring_num.

The second patch is the most significant one [and the reason this is ntended for 'net'] - it's based on Arnd Bermann's suggestion for fixing compilation issues that were introduced with the roce addition as a result of certain combinations of qed, qede and qedr Kconfig options. The third follows the discussion with Arnd and clears a lot of the warnings that arise when compiling the drivers with "C=1".

The qedr driver would require a tristate Kconfig option [to allow it to compile as a module], and toward that end we've added the INFINIBAND_QEDR option. But as we've made the compilation of the qed/qede infrastructure required for RoCE dependent on the option we'd be facing linking difficulties in case that QED=y or QEDE=y, and INFINIBAND_QEDR=m. To resolve this, we seperate between the INFINIBAND_QEDR option and the infrastructure support in qed/qede by introducing a new QED_RDMA option which would be selected by INFINIBAND_QEDR but would be a boolean instead of a tristate; Following that, the qed/qede is fixed based on this new option so that all config combinations would be supported.

The IPv6 temporary address generation uses a variable called DESYNC_FACTOR to prevent hosts updating the addresses at the same time. Quoting RFC 4941: ... The value DESYNC_FACTOR is a random value (different for each client) that ensures that clients don't synchronize with each other and generate new addresses at exactly the same time ... DESYNC_FACTOR is defined as: DESYNC_FACTOR -- A random value within the range 0 - MAX_DESYNC_FACTOR. It is computed once at system start (rather than each time it is used) and must never be greater than (TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE). First, I believe the RFC has a typo in it and meant to say: "and must never be greater than (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE)" The reason is that at various places in the RFC, DESYNC_FACTOR is used in a calculation like (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - DESYNC_FACTOR) or (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE - DESYNC_FACTOR). It needs to be smaller than (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE) for the result of these calculations to be larger than zero. It's never used in a calculation together with TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME. I already submitted an errata to the rfc-editor: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=4941 The Linux implementation of DESYNC_FACTOR is very wrong: max_desync_factor is used in places DESYNC_FACTOR should be used. max_desync_factor is initialized to the RFC-recommended value for MAX_DESYNC_FACTOR (600) but the whole point is to get a _random_ value. And nothing ensures that the value used is not greater than (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE), which leads to underflows. The effect can easily be observed when setting the temp_prefered_lft sysctl e.g. to 60. The preferred lifetime of the temporary addresses will be bogus. TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME and REGEN_ADVANCE are not constants and can be influenced by these three sysctls: regen_max_retry, dad_transmits and temp_prefered_lft. Thus, the upper bound for desync_factor needs to be re-calculated each time a new address is generated and if desync_factor is larger than the new upper bound, a new random value needs to be re-generated. And since we already have max_desync_factor configurable per interface, we also need to calculate and store desync_factor per interface.

The randomized interface identifier (rndid) was periodically updated from the regen_timer timer. Simplify the code by updating the rndid only when needed by ipv6_try_regen_rndid(). This makes the follow-up DESYNC_FACTOR fix much simpler. Also it fixes a reference counting error in this error path, where an in6_dev_put was missing: err = addrconf_sysctl_register(ndev); if (err) { ipv6_mc_destroy_dev(ndev); - del_timer(&ndev->regen_timer); snmp6_unregister_dev(ndev); goto err_release; Signed-off-by: Jiri Bohac <jbohac@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S.

After the commit 9207f9d4 ("net: preserve IP control block during GSO segmentation"), the GSO CB and the IPoIB CB conflict. That destroy the IPoIB address information cached there, causing a severe performance regression, as better described here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=146787279825501&w=2 This change moves the data cached by the IPoIB driver from the skb control lock into the IPoIB hard header, as done before the commit 936d7de3 ("IPoIB: Stop lying about hard_header_len and use skb->cb to stash LL addresses"). In order to avoid GRO issue, on packet reception, the IPoIB driver stash into the skb a dummy pseudo header, so that the received packets have actually a hard header matching the declared length. To avoid changing the connected mode maximum mtu, the allocated head buffer size is increased by the pseudo header length. After this commit, IPoIB performances are back to pre-regression value. v2 -> v3: rebased v1 -> v2: avoid changing the max mtu, increasing the head buf size Fixes: 9207f9d4 ("net: preserve IP control block during GSO segmentation") Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The driver only has runtime but no build time dependency with FSL_SOC || ARCH_MXC || ARCH_LAYERSCAPE. So it can be built for testing purposes if the COMPILE_TEST option is enabled. This is useful to have more build coverage and make sure that the driver is not affected by changes that could cause build regressions.

When the device is registered via OF, the OF table is used to match the driver instead of the SPI device ID table, but the entries in the later are used as aliasses to load the module if the driver was not built-in. This is because the SPI core always reports an SPI module alias instead of an OF one, but that could change so it's better to always export it.

If the driver is built as a module, module alias information isn't filled so the module won't be autoloaded. Add a SPI device ID table and use the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro so the information is exported in the module.
