      bpf: fix bpf_trace_printk on 32 bit archs · 88a5c690
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      James reported that on MIPS32 bpf_trace_printk() is currently
      broken while MIPS64 works fine:
      
        bpf_trace_printk() uses conditional operators to attempt to
        pass different types to __trace_printk() depending on the
        format operators. This doesn't work as intended on 32-bit
        architectures where u32 and long are passed differently to
        u64, since the result of C conditional operators follows the
        "usual arithmetic conversions" rules, such that the values
        passed to __trace_printk() will always be u64 [causing issues
        later in the va_list handling for vscnprintf()].
      
        For example the samples/bpf/tracex5 test printed lines like
        below on MIPS32, where the fd and buf have come from the u64
        fd argument, and the size from the buf argument:
      
          [...] 1180.941542: 0x00000001: write(fd=1, buf=  (null), size=6258688)
      
        Instead of this:
      
          [...] 1625.616026: 0x00000001: write(fd=1, buf=009e4000, size=512)
      
      One way to get it working is to expand various combinations
      of argument types into 8 different combinations for 32 bit
      and 64 bit kernels. Fix tested by James on MIPS32 and MIPS64
      as well that it resolves the issue.

      find the Root Port for the PCI device which is the Root
      Port already, it will return NULL and trigger the problem,
      so check the highest_pcie_bridge to fix thie problem.

      sfc: don't try and read ef10 data on non-ef10 NIC · 61deee96
      Bert Kenward authored
      The MAC stats command takes a port ID, which doesn't exist on
      pre-ef10 NICs (5000- and 6000- series). This is extracted from the
      NIC specific data; we misinterpret this as the ef10 data structure,
      causing us to read potentially unallocated data. With a KASAN kernel
      this can cause errors with:

      dsa: fix flow disector null pointer · 7324157b

      A recent change to fix up DSA device behavior made the assumption that

      net_sched: reset pointers to tcf blocks in classful qdiscs' destructors · 89890422
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      Traffic filters could keep direct pointers to classes in classful qdisc,
      thus qdisc destruction first removes all filters before freeing classes.
      Class destruction methods also tries to free attached filters but now
      this isn't safe because tcf_block_put() unlike to tcf_destroy_chain()
      cannot be called second time.
      
      This patch set class->block to NULL after first tcf_block_put() and
      turn second call into no-op.

      we attempt to dereference a NULL pointer in free_fib_info_rcu() :
      
          m = fi->fib_metrics;
          if (m != &dst_default_metrics && atomic_dec_and_test(&m->refcnt))
                  kfree(m);
      
      Before my recent patch, we used to call kfree(NULL) and nothing wrong
      happened.
      
      Instead of using RCU to defer freeing while we are under memory stress,
      it seems better to take immediate action.
      
      This was reported by syzkaller team.

      ipv6: fix NULL dereference in ip6_route_dev_notify() · 12d94a80
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Based on a syzkaller report [1], I found that a per cpu allocation
      failure in snmp6_alloc_dev() would then lead to NULL dereference in
      ip6_route_dev_notify().
      
      It seems this is a very old bug, thus no Fixes tag in this submission.
      
      Let's add in6_dev_put_clear() helper, as we will probably use
      it elsewhere (once available/present in net-next)

      mlxsw: spectrum_router: Use correct config option · df9a21f1
      Ido Schimmel authored
      I made an embarrassing mistake and used 'IPV6' instead of 'CONFIG_IPV6'
      around the function that updates the kernel about IPv6 neighbours
      activity. This can be a problem if the kernel has more neighbours than a
      certain threshold and it starts deleting those that are supposedly
      inactive.

      ipv6: fib: Provide offload indication using nexthop flags · fe400799
      Ido Schimmel authored
      IPv6 routes currently lack nexthop flags as in IPv4. This has several
      implications.
      
      In the forwarding path, it requires us to check the carrier state of the
      nexthop device and potentially ignore a linkdown route, instead of
      checking for RTNH_F_LINKDOWN.
      
      It also requires capable drivers to use the user facing IPv6-specific
      route flags to provide offload indication, instead of using the nexthop
      flags as in IPv4.
      
      Add nexthop flags to IPv6 routes in the 40 bytes hole and use it to
      provide offload indication instead of the RTF_OFFLOAD flag, which is
      removed while it's still not part of any official kernel release.
      
      In the near future we would like to use the field for the
      RTNH_F_{LINKDOWN,DEAD} flags, but this change is more involved and might
      not be ready in time for the current cycle.
