The previous commit enforces a new rule for handling the cloned packets for transmit time stamping. These packets must not be freed using any other function than skb_complete_tx_timestamp. This commit fixes the one and only driver using this API. The driver first appeared in v3.0. Signed-off-by:

When hybrid mode is enabled (accept_ra == 2), the kernel also sees RAs generated locally. This is useful since it allows the kernel to auto-configure its own interface addresses. However, if 'accept_ra_defrtr' and/or 'accept_ra_rtr_pref' are set and the locally generated RAs announce the default route and/or other route information, the kernel happily inserts bogus routes with its own address as gateway. With this patch, adding routes from an RA will be skiped when the RAs source address matches any local address, just as if 'accept_ra_defrtr' and 'accept_ra_rtr_pref' were set to 0. Signed-off-by:

Currently the code for VF setup/teardown done by a PF (if_create, mac_add_config, link_status_query etc) is scattered; this patch refactors this code into be_vf_setup() and be_vf_clear(). The if_create/if_destroy/mac_addr_query cmds are now called after the MCCQ is created; so these cmds are now modified to use the MCCQ instead of MBOX. Signed-off-by:

When a card is reset due to EEH error recovery or due to a suspend, rx-mode config (promisc/mc) is not being sent to the FW. be_setup() is called in these flows and is the best place for such config/re-config cmds. Hence include rx-mode, vlan and flow-control config in be_setup(). Signed-off-by:

There is a long standing bug in linux tcp stack, about ACK messages sent on behalf of TIME_WAIT sockets. In the IP header of the ACK message, we choose to reflect TOS field of incoming message, and this might break some setups. Example of things that were broken : - Routing using TOS as a selector - Firewalls - Trafic classification / shaping We now remember in timewait structure the inet tos field and use it in ACK generation, and route lookup. Notes : - We still reflect incoming TOS in RST messages. - We could extend MuraliRaja Muniraju patch to report TOS value in netlink messages for TIME_WAIT sockets. - A patch is needed for IPv6 Signed-off-by:

Renato Westphal noticed that since commit a2835763 "rtnetlink: handle rtnl_link netlink notifications manually" was merged we no longer send a netlink message when a networking device is moved from one network namespace to another. Fix this by adding the missing manual notification in dev_change_net_namespaces. Since all network devices that are processed by dev_change_net_namspaces are in the initialized state the complicated tests that guard the manual rtmsg_ifinfo calls in rollback_registered and register_netdevice are unnecessary and we can just perform a plain notification.

If the device is down during suspend/resume, interrupts are enabled without a registered interrupt handler, causing a storm of unhandled interrupts until the IRQ is disabled because "nobody cared". Instead, check that the device is up before touching it in the suspend/resume code. Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39112Helped-by:

The commit f39925db (ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.) removed some ICMP packet validations which are required by RFC 1122, section 3.2.2.2: ... A Redirect message SHOULD be silently discarded if the new gateway address it specifies is not on the same connected (sub-) net through which the Redirect arrived [INTRO:2, Appendix A], or if the source of the Redirect is not the current first-hop gateway for the specified destination (see Section 3.3.1).

The pair of functions, * skb_clone_tx_timestamp() * skb_complete_tx_timestamp() were designed to allow timestamping in PHY devices. The first function, called during the MAC driver's hard_xmit method, identifies PTP protocol packets, clones them, and gives them to the PHY device driver. The PHY driver may hold onto the packet and deliver it at a later time using the second function, which adds the packet to the socket's error queue. As pointed out by Johannes, nothing prevents the socket from disappearing while the cloned packet is sitting in the PHY driver awaiting a timestamp. This patch fixes the issue by taking a reference on the socket for each such packet. In addition, the comments regarding the usage of these function are expanded to highlight the rule that PHY drivers must use skb_complete_tx_timestamp() to release the packet, in order to release the socket reference, too. These functions first appeared in v2.6.36. Reported-by:

Adding const qualifiers to pointers can ease code review, and spot some bugs. It might allow compiler to optimize code further. For example, is it legal to temporary write a null cksum into tcphdr in tcp_md5_hash_header() ? I am afraid a sniffer could catch the temporary null value... Signed-off-by:

On systems that create and delete lots of dynamic devices the 31bit linux ifindex fails to fit in the 16bit macvtap minor, resulting in unusable macvtap devices. I have systems running automated tests that that hit this condition in just a few days. Use a linux idr allocator to track which mavtap minor numbers are available and and to track the association between macvtap minor numbers and macvtap network devices. Remove the unnecessary unneccessary check to see if the network device we have found is indeed a macvtap device. With macvtap specific data structures it is impossible to find any other kind of networking device. Increase the macvtap minor range from 65536 to the full 20 bits that is supported by linux device numbers. It doesn't solve the original problem but there is no penalty for a larger minor device range. Signed-off-by:

Place macvlan_common_newlink at the end of macvtap_newlink because failing in newlink after registering your network device is not supported. Move device_create into a netdevice creation notifier. The network device notifier is the only hook that is called after the network device has been registered with the device layer and before register_network_device returns success. Signed-off-by:

To see if it is appropriate to enable the macvtap zero copy feature don't test the lowerdev network device flags. Instead test the macvtap network device flags which are a direct copy of the lowerdev flags. This is important because nothing holds a reference to lowerdev and on a very bad day we lowerdev could be a pointer to stale memory. Signed-off-by:

There is a small window in macvtap_open between looking up a networking device and calling macvtap_set_queue in which macvtap_del_queues called from macvtap_dellink. After calling macvtap_del_queues it is totally incorrect to allow macvtap_set_queue to proceed so prevent success by reporting that all of the available queues are in use. Signed-off-by:
