When wiring up the socket system calls the compat entries were incorrectly set. Not all of them point to the corresponding compat wrapper functions, which clear the upper 33 bits of user space pointers, like it is required.

Martin Cermak reported that setting a uprobe doesn't work. Reason for this is that the common uprobes code tries to get an unmapped area at the last possible page within an address space. This broke with commit 1aea9b3f ("s390/mm: implement 5 level pages tables") which introduced an off-by-one bug which prevents to map anything at the last possible page within an address space. The check with the off-by-one bug however can be removed since with commit 8ab867cb ("s390/mm: fix BUG_ON in crst_table_upgrade") the necessary check is done at both call sites. Reported-by:

Prevent that a prefix flag is set based on invalid configuration data. The validity.verify_base flag should only be set for alias devices. Usually the unit address type is either one of base, PAV alias or HyperPAV alias. But in cases where the unit address type is not set or any other value the validity.verify_base flag might be set as well. This would lead to follow on errors. Explicitly check for alias devices and set the validity flag only for them. Signed-off-by:

The switch_to() macro has an optimization to avoid saving and restoring register contents that aren't needed for kernel threads. There is however the possibility that a kernel thread execve's a user space program. In such a case the execve'd process can partially see the contents of the previous process, which shouldn't be allowed. To avoid this, simply always save and restore register contents on context switch.

getnstimeofday() and timespec are deprecated since they can overflow on 32-bit architectures. This simply changes to the explicitly typed timespec64 version that doesn't have that problem. It would be nice to also convert to monotonic timestamps and call ktime_get_ts64() rather than ktime_get_real_ts64(), but that would be a user-visible change. Signed-off-by:

The chip family of TILEPro and TILE-Gx was developed by Tilera, which was eventually acquired by Mellanox. The tile architecture was added to the kernel in 2010 and first appeared in 2.6.36. Now at Mellanox we are developing new chips based on the ARM64 architecture; our last TILE-Gx chip (the Gx72) was released in 2013, and our customers using tile architecture products are not, as far as we know, looking to upgrade to newer kernel releases. In the absence of someone in the community stepping up to take over maintainership, this commit marks the architecture as orphaned. Cc: Chris Metcalf <metcalf@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by:

James Morris reported kernel stack corruption bug [1] while running the SELinux testsuite, and bisected to a recent commit bffa72cf ("net: sk_buff rbnode reorg") We believe this commit is fine, but exposes an older bug. SELinux code runs from tcp_filter() and might send an ICMP, expecting IP options to be found in skb->cb[] using regular IPCB placement. We need to defer TCP mangling of skb->cb[] after tcp_filter() calls. This patch adds tcp_v4_fill_cb()/tcp_v4_restore_cb() in a very similar way we added them for IPv6.

The mss variable tracks the last max segment size sent to the TSO engine. We do not update the hardware as long as we receive skb:s with the same value in gso_size. During a network device down/up cycle (mapped to stmmac_release() and stmmac_open() callbacks) we issue a reset to the hardware and it forgets the setting for mss. However we did not zero out our mss variable so the next transmission of a gso packet happens with an undefined hardware setting. This triggers a hang in the TSO engine and eventuelly the netdev watchdog will bark. Fixes: f748be53 ("stmmac: support new GMAC4") Signed-off-by:

The current GSO skb size limit was copy&pasted over from the L3 path, where it is needed due to a TSO limitation. As L2 devices don't offer TSO support (and thus all GSO skbs are segmented before they reach the driver), there's no reason to restrict the stack in how large it may build the GSO skbs. Fixes: d52aec97 ("qeth: enable scatter/gather in layer 2 mode") Signed-off-by:

Julian Wiedmann authored
Using GSO with small MTUs currently results in a substantial throughput regression - which is caused by how qeth needs to map non-linear skbs into its IO buffer elements: compared to a linear skb, each GSO-segmented skb effectively consumes twice as many buffer elements (ie two instead of one) due to the additional header-only part. This causes the Output Queue to be congested with low-utilized IO buffers. Fix this as follows: If the MSS is low enough so that a non-SG GSO segmentation produces order-0 skbs (currently ~3500 byte), opt out from NETIF_F_SG. This is where we anticipate the biggest savings, since an SG-enabled GSO segmentation produces skbs that always consume at least two buffer elements. Larger MSS values continue to get a SG-enabled GSO segmentation, since 1) the relative overhead of the additional header-only buffer element becomes less noticeable, and 2) the linearization overhead increases. With the throughput regression fixed, re-enable NETIF_F_SG by default to reap the significant CPU savings of GSO. Fixes: 5722963a ("qeth: do not turn on SG per default") Reported-by:

Commit 5f78e29c ("qeth: optimize IP handling in rx_mode callback") reworked how secondary addresses are managed for qeth devices. Instead of dropping & subsequently re-adding all addresses on every ndo_set_rx_mode() call, qeth now keeps track of the addresses that are currently registered with the HW. On a ndo_set_rx_mode(), we thus only need to do (de-)registration requests for the addresses that have actually changed. On L3 devices, the lookup for IPv4 Multicast addresses checks the wrong hashtable - and thus never finds a match. As a result, we first delete *all* such addresses, and then re-add them again. So each set_rx_mode() causes a short period where the IPv4 Multicast addresses are not registered, and the card stops forwarding inbound traffic for them. Fix this by setting the ->is_multicast flag on the lookup object, thus enabling qeth_l3_ip_from_hash() to search the correct hashtable and find a match there.

Matthew found a roughly 40% tcp throughput regression with commit c67df11f(vhost_net: try batch dequing from skb array) as discussed in the following thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg187936.html Eventually we figured out that it was a skb leak in handle_rx() when sending packets to the VM. This usually happens when a guest can not drain out vq as fast as vhost fills in, afterwards it sets off the traffic jam and leaks skb(s) which occurs as no headcount to send on the vq from vhost side. This can be avoided by making sure we have got enough headcount before actually consuming a skb from the batched rx array while transmitting, which is simply done by moving checking the zero headcount a bit ahead.

short_input variable is assigned to another data pointer which is referred out of its scope. Fix it by moving short_input definition to the beginning of bnxt_hwrm_do_send_msg() function. No failure has been reported so far due to this issue. Fixes: e605db80 ("bnxt_en: Support for Short Firmware Message") Signed-off-by:
