The current wrapper implementation of the UPDATE_QP command tries to get the MAC index, even if MAC wasn't set by the VF. Fix it up to only handle the MAC field if it's valid.

When doing VGT->VST->VGT state changes, we used an incorrect mask for the vlan-stripping-disable (VSD) flag, hence the vlan related policy for user-space Raw Ethernet QPs open by VFs wasn't really applied. Fix that, by using the correct mask.

Single port VFs are seen PCI wise on both ports of the PF (we don't have single port PFs with ConnectX). With this in mind, it's possible for virtualization tools to try and configure a single ported VF through the "wrong" PF port. To handle that, we use the PF driver mapping of single port VFs to NIC ports and adjust the port value before calling into the low level code that does the actual VF configuration Fixes: 449fc488 ('net/mlx4: Adapt code for N-Port VF') Signed-off-by: Matan Barak <matanb@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux manpage for recvmsg and sendmsg calls does not explicitly mention setting msg_namelen to 0 when msg_name passed set as NULL. When developers don't set msg_namelen member in msghdr, it might contain garbage value which will fail the validation check and sendmsg and recvmsg calls from kernel will return EINVAL. This will break old binaries and any code for which there is no access to source code. To fix this, we set msg_namelen to 0 when msg_name is passed as NULL from userland.

There is a potential case where we might be failing to refill a control block, leaving it with both a NULL skb pointer *and* a NULL dma_unmap_addr. The way we process incoming packets, by first calling dma_unmap_single(), and then only checking for a potential NULL skb can lead to situations where do pass a NULL dma_unmap_addr() to dma_unmap_single(), resulting in an oops. Fix this my moving the NULL skb check earlier, since no backing skb also means no corresponding DMA mapping for this packet.

The sunvnet driver does not have an rmb() in the ring consumer corresponding to the wmb() in the producer. According to Documentation/memory-barriers.txt: "When dealing with CPU-CPU interactions, certain types of memory barrier should always be paired. A lack of appropriate pairing is almost certainly an error." In cases where an rmb() is not a no-op and a consumer is removing data from the ring while a producer is adding new entries, a load reorder would allow CPU1 CPU2 ---- ---- LOAD desc.size [e.g] STORE desc.size <wmb> set desc.hdr.state = VIO_DESC_READY LOAD desc.hdr.state [because VIO_DESC_READY, use old desc.size, already loaded out of order] [CPU2 has reordered apparently unrelated LOADs] To ensure other desc fields are not loaded before checking VIO_DESC_READY, we need an rmb() between the check and desc data accesses. I've also moved the viodbg() call to after the rmb() so that it, too, has current descriptor data even with reordering, which has the side effect that it won't print anything for descriptors that are not VIO_DESC_READY as before. That's a) probably a good thing, since the fields are not necessarily set and, b) better than adding another rmb() just for viodbg(). This would not be possible if strict-ordering is enforced, but then the memory barriers should be no-ops in that case.

John W. Linville says: ==================== pull request: wireless 2014-09-05 Please pull this batch of fixes intended for the 3.17 stream... For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "Here are a few fixes for mac80211. One has been discussed for a while and adds a terminating NUL-byte to the alpha2 sent to userspace, which shouldn't be necessary but since many places treat it as a string we couldn't move to just sending two bytes. In addition to that, we have two VLAN fixes from Felix, a mesh fix, a fix for the recently introduced RX aggregation offload, a revert for a broken patch (that luckily didn't really cause any harm) and a small fix for alignment in debugfs." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "I revert a patch that disabled CTS to self in dvm because users reported issues. The revert is CCed to stable since the offending patch was sent to stable too. I also bump the firmware API versions since a new firmware is coming up. On top of that, Marcel fixes a bug I introduced while fixing a bug in our Kconfig file."

It is possible that the interface is already gone after joining the list of anycast on this interface as we don't hold a refcount for the device, in this case we are safe to ignore the error.

Commit 0244756e ("ufs: sb mutex merge + mutex_destroy") introduces deadlocks in ufs_new_inode() and ufs_free_inode(). Most callers of that functions acqure the mutex by themselves and ufs_{new,free}_inode() do that via lock_ufs(), i.e we have an unavoidable double lock. The patch proposes to resolve the issue by making sure that ufs_{new,free}_inode() are not called with the mutex held. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

Pull xfs fixes from Dave Chinner: "The fixes all address recently discovered data corruption issues. The original Direct IO issue was discovered by Chris Mason @ Facebook on a production workload which mixed buffered reads with direct reads and writes IO to the same file. The fix for that exposed other issues with page invalidation (exposed by millions of fsx operations) failing due to dirty buffers beyond EOF. Finally, the collapse_range code could also cause problems due to racing writeback changing the extent map while it was being shifted around. The commits for that problem are simple mitigation fixes that prevent the problem from occuring. A more robust fix for 3.18 that addresses the underlying problem is currently being worked on by Brian.

The update_walltime() code works on the shadow timekeeper to make the seqcount protected region as short as possible. But that update to the shadow timekeeper does not update all timekeeper fields because it's sufficient to do that once before it becomes life. One of these fields is tkr.base_mono. That stays stale in the shadow timekeeper unless an operation happens which copies the real timekeeper to the shadow. The update function is called after the update calls to vsyscall and pvclock. While not correct, it did not cause any problems because none of the invoked update functions used base_mono. commit cbcf2dd3 (x86: kvm: Make kvm_get_time_and_clockread() nanoseconds based) changed that in the kvm pvclock update function, so the stale mono_base value got used and caused kvm-clock to malfunction. Put the update where it belongs and fix the issue.
