Set actions consist of a regular OVS_KEY_ATTR_* attribute nested inside of a OVS_ACTION_ATTR_SET action attribute. When converting masked actions back to regular set actions, the inner attribute length was not changed, ie, double the length being serialized. This patch fixes the bug.

Commit 6ce29b0e ("gianfar: Avoid unnecessary reg accesses in adjust_link()") eliminates unnecessary calls to adjust_link for phy devices which don't support interrupts and need polling. As part of that work, the 'new_state' local flag, which was used to reduce logging noise on the console, was eliminated. Unfortunately, that means that a 'Link is Down' log message will now be issued continuously if a link is configured as UP, the link state is down, and the associated phy requires polling. This occurs because priv->oldduplex is -1 in this case, which always differs from phydev->duplex. In addition, phydev->speed may also differ from priv->oldspeed. gfar_update_link_state() is therefore called each time a phy is polled, even if the link state did not change.

If an over-MTU UDP datagram is sent through a SOCK_RAW socket to a UFO-capable device, ip_ufo_append_data() sets skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL unconditionally as all GSO code assumes transport layer checksum is to be computed on segmentation. However, in this case, skb->csum_start and skb->csum_offset are never set as raw socket transmit path bypasses udp_send_skb() where they are usually set. As a result, driver may access invalid memory when trying to calculate the checksum and store the result (as observed in virtio_net driver). Moreover, the very idea of modifying the userspace provided UDP header is IMHO against raw socket semantics (I wasn't able to find a document clearly stating this or the opposite, though). And while allowing CHECKSUM_NONE in the UFO case would be more efficient, it would be a bit too intrusive change just to handle a corner case like this. Therefore disallowing UFO for packets from SOCK_DGRAM seems to be the best option. Signed-off-by:

My previous fix to clear padding of short frames used skb->len as the DMA length, assuming that skb_padto() extended skb->len to include the padding. That isn't the case; we need to use skb_put_padto() instead. (This wasn't immediately obvious because software padding isn't actually needed on the R-Car H2. We could make it conditional on which chip is being driven, but it's probably not worth the effort.) Reported-by:

This reverts commit fd9af07c. The hardware manual states that the frame error and multicast bits are copied to bits 9:0 of RD0, not bits 25:16. I've tested that this is true for RFS1 (CRC error), RFS3 (frame too short), RFS4 (frame too long) and RFS8 (multicast). Also adjust a comment to agree with this. Signed-off-by:

In case of RX ring underrun (RDE), we attempt to reset the software descriptor pointers (dirty_rx and cur_rx) to match where the hardware will read the next descriptor from, as that might not be the first dirty descriptor. This relies on reading RDFAR, but that register doesn't exist on all supported chips - specifically, not on the R-Car chips. This will result in unpredictable behaviour on those chips after an RDE. Make this pointer reset conditional and assume that it isn't needed on the R-Car chips. This fix also assumes that RDFAR is never exposed at offset 0 in the memory map - this is currently true, and a subsequent commit will fix the ambiguity between offset 0 and no-offset in the register offset maps.

To repeat: $ sudo ip link del hsr0 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 IP: [<ffffffff8187f495>] hsr_del_port+0x15/0xa0 etc... Bug description: As part of the hsr master device destruction, hsr_del_port() is called for each of the hsr ports. At each such call, the master device is updated regarding features and mtu. When the master device is freed before the slave interfaces, master will be NULL in hsr_del_port(), which led to a NULL pointer dereference. Additionally, dev_put() was called on the master device itself in hsr_del_port(), causing a refcnt error. A third bug in the same code path was that the rtnl lock was not taken before hsr_del_port() was called as part of hsr_dev_destroy(). The reporter (Nicolas Dichtel) also said: "hsr_netdev_notify() supposes that the port will always be available when the notification is for an hsr interface. It's wrong. For example, netdev_wait_allrefs() may resend NETDEV_UNREGISTER.". As a precaution against this, a check for port == NULL was added in hsr_dev_notify(). Reported-by:

Commit 740c7f31 ("sh_eth: Ensure DMA engines are stopped before freeing buffers") added a call to sh_eth_reset() to the sh_eth_set_ringparam() and sh_eth_close() paths. However, setting the software reset bit(s) in the EDMR register resets the MAC Address Registers to zero. Hence after kexec, the new kernel doesn't detect a valid MAC address and assigns a random MAC address, breaking DHCP. Set the MAC address again after the reset in sh_eth_dev_exit() to fix this.

The bcmgenet_tx_reclaim of tx_ring[{0,1,2,3}] operative by an interrupt is to be not more than a certain number TxBDs. It is caused by too slowly reclaiming the transmitted skb.

Brian reported crashes using IPv6 traffic with macvtap/veth combo. I tracked the crashes in neigh_hh_output() -> memcpy(skb->data - HH_DATA_MOD, hh->hh_data, HH_DATA_MOD); Neighbour code assumes headroom to push Ethernet header is at least 16 bytes. It appears macvtap has only 14 bytes available on arches where NET_IP_ALIGN is 0 (like x86) Effect is a corruption of 2 bytes right before skb->head, and possible crashes if accessing non existing memory. This fix should also increase IPv4 performance, as paranoid code in ip_finish_output2() wont have to call skb_realloc_headroom() Reported-by:

Prior to this patch, sending a packet with the source MAC address of one of the CPSW interfaces to one of the CPSW slave ports while it's configured in dual_emac mode would update the port_num field of the VLAN/Unicast Address Table Entry. This would cause it to discard all incoming traffic addressed to that MAC address, essentially rendering the port useless until the ALE table is cleared (by starting and stopping the interface or rebooting.) For example, if eth0 has a MAC address of 90:59:af:8f:43:e9 it will have an ALE table entry: 00 00 00 00 59 90 02 30 e9 43 8f af (VLAN Addr vlan_id=2 unicast type=0 port_num=0 addr=90:59:af:8f:43:e9) If you configure another device with the same MAC address and connect it to the first CPSW slave port and send some traffic the ALE table entry becomes: 04 00 00 00 59 90 02 30 e9 43 8f af (VLAN Addr vlan_id=2 unicast type=0 port_num=1 addr=90:59:af:8f:43:e9) >From this point forward all incoming traffic addressed to 90:59:af:8f:43:e9 will be dropped. Setting the SECURE bit for the VLAN/Unicast address table entry for each interface's MAC address corrects the problem. Signed-off-by:

The smc91x driver traditionally gets configured at compile-time for whichever hardware it runs on. This no longer works on ARM as we continue to move to building all-in-one kernels. Most ARM configurations with this driver already use run-time configuration through DT or through platform_data, but a few have not been converted yet. I've checked all ARM boards that use this driver in their legacy board files, and converted the ones that were using compile-time configuration in smc91x.h to behave like the other ones and provide the interrupt polarity along with the MMIO configuration (width, stride) at platform device creation time. In particular, these combinations were previously selectable in Kconfig but in fact broken: - sa1100 assabet plus pleb - msm combined with any other armv6/v7 platform - pxa-idp combined with any non-DMA pxa variant - LogicPD PXA270 combined with any other pxa - nomadik combined with any other armv4/v5 platform, e.g. versatile. None of these seem critical enough to warrant a backport to stable, but it would be nice to clean this up for good. Signed-off-by:

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-02-26 This series contains fixes for i40e and i40evf only. Alexey Khoroshilov found a possible leak of 'cmd_buf' when copy_from_user() failed in i40e_dbg_command_write(), so resolved by calling kfree(). Shannon provides a fix to ensure the shift and bitwise precedences do not work backwards for us by adding parans. Fixed the driver by preventing the driver from allowing stray interrupts or causing system logs from un-handled interrupts by combining the ICR0 shutdown with the standard interrupt shutdown and add the interrupt clearing to the PCI shutdown path. Fixed an issue where a NVM write times out before a transaction can complete, so Shannon added logic to make another attempt by reacquiring the semaphore, then retry the write, if the one retry fails, we will then give up. Adds checks to pointers before their use to ensure we do not try to dereference NULL pointers when returning values from the AdminQ calls. Akeem adds a check to bail out if the device is already down when checking for Tx hang subtask. Anjali fixes TSO with more than 8 frags per segment issue. The hardware has some limitations which the driver needs to adhere to: 1) no more than 8 descriptors per packet on the wire 2) no header can span more than 3 descriptors If one of these events happens, the hardware will generate an internal error and freeze the Tx queue, so Anjali fixes this by linearizes the skb to avoid these situations. Fixed an issue where the per Traffic Class queue count was higher than queues enabled, which will fix a warning with multiple function mode where systems regularly have more cores than vectors. Fixed TCP/IPv6 over VXLAN Tx checksum offload, where we were checking the outer protocol flags and deciding the flow for the inner header. Jesse fixes a race condition in the transmit hang detection. Before we were having issues of false Tx hang detection, no the driver makes more direct with the checks for progress forward by directly checking the head write back address and tail register when determining progress. This avoids Tx hangs where the software gets behind, because we are directly checking hardware state when determining a hang state. Neerav fixes the transmit ring Qset handle when DCB reconfigures. The issue was when DCB is reconfigured to a single traffic class (TC) and the driver did not reset the Tx ring Qset handle to correct the mapping, which caused the Tx queue to disable timeouts. Also as part of DCB reconfiguration flow if the Tx queue disable times out, then issue a PF reset to do some level of recovery. Mitch stops flow director on shutdown because, in some cases, the hardware would continue to try to access the FDIR ring after entering D3Hot state, which would cause either PCIe errors or NMIs, depending upon the system configuration. * NOTE * I have verified that this series of patches for net will not cause any merge issues when you sync up your net tree with your net-next tree. ==================== Signed-off-by:
