Change rds_rdma_pages to take a passed-in rds_iovec array instead of doing copy_from_user itself. Change rds_cmsg_rdma_args to copy rds_iovec array once only. This eliminates the possibility of userspace changing it after our sanity checks. Implement stack-based storage for small numbers of iovecs, based on net/socket.c, to save an alloc in the extremely common case. Although this patch reduces iovec copies in cmsg_rdma_args to 1, we still do another one in rds_rdma_extra_size. Getting rid of that one will be trickier, so it'll be a separate patch. Signed-off-by:

rds_cmsg_rdma_args would still return success even if rds_rdma_pages returned an error (or overflowed). Signed-off-by:

As reported by Thomas Pollet, the rdma page counting can overflow. We get the rdma sizes in 64-bit unsigned entities, but then limit it to UINT_MAX bytes and shift them down to pages (so with a possible "+1" for an unaligned address). So each individual page count fits comfortably in an 'unsigned int' (not even close to overflowing into signed), but as they are added up, they might end up resulting in a signed return value. Which would be wrong. Catch the case of tot_pages turning negative, and return the appropriate error code. Reported-by:

This patch fixes the following section mismatch warning: WARNING: drivers/net/can/pch_can.o(.data+0x18): Section mismatch in reference from the variable pch_can_pcidev to the variable .devinit.rodata:pch_pci_tbl The variable pch_can_pcidev references the variable __devinitconst pch_pci_tbl This is actually a false positive which is fixed by giving the offending variable a whitelisted name, it's renamed to "pch_can_pci_driver". This makes sense because the variable is of the type "struct pci_driver". Signed-off-by:

I noticed two small issues in mac80211/debugfs_key.c::key_key_read while reading through the code. Patch below. The key_key_read() function returns ssize_t and the value that's actually returned is the return value of simple_read_from_buffer() which also returns ssize_t, so let's hold the return value in a ssize_t local variable rather than a int one. Also, memory is allocated dynamically with kmalloc() which can fail, but the return value of kmalloc() is not checked, so we may end up operating on a null pointer further on. So check for a NULL return and bail out with -ENOMEM in that case. Signed-off-by:

A program that accidentally writes too much data to the pktgen file can overflow the kernel stack and oops the machine. This is only triggerable by root, so there's no security issue, but it's still an unfortunate bug. printk() won't print more than 1024 bytes in a single call, anyways, so let's just never copy more than that much data. We're on a fairly shallow stack, so that should be safe even with CONFIG_4KSTACKS. Signed-off-by:

This helps protect us from overflow issues down in the individual protocol sendmsg/recvmsg handlers. Once we hit INT_MAX we truncate out the rest of the iovec by setting the iov_len members to zero. This works because: 1) For SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets, partial writes are allowed and the application will just continue with another write to send the rest of the data. 2) For datagram oriented sockets, where there must be a one-to-one correspondance between write() calls and packets on the wire, INT_MAX is going to be far larger than the packet size limit the protocol is going to check for and signal with -EMSGSIZE.

As far as I understand the code removing the netif_start_queue from __NS8390_init is OK, since queue will be started later on device open. Plz, correct me if I'm wrong.

This updates CCID-2 to use the CCID dequeuing mechanism, converting from previous continuous-polling to a now event-driven mechanism. Signed-off-by:

This extends the existing wait-for-ccid routine so that it may be used with different types of CCID, addressing the following problems: 1) The queue-drain mechanism only works with rate-based CCIDs. If CCID-2 for example has a full TX queue and becomes network-limited just as the application wants to close, then waiting for CCID-2 to become unblocked could lead to an indefinite delay (i.e., application "hangs"). 2) Since each TX CCID in turn uses a feedback mechanism, there may be changes in its sending policy while the queue is being drained. This can lead to further delays during which the application will not be able to terminate. 3) The minimum wait time for CCID-3/4 can be expected to be the queue length times the current inter-packet delay. For example if tx_qlen=100 and a delay of 15 ms is used for each packet, then the application would have to wait for a minimum of 1.5 seconds before being allowed to exit. 4) There is no way for the user/application to control this behaviour. It would be good to use the timeout argument of dccp_close() as an upper bound. Then the maximum time that an application is willing to wait for its CCIDs to can be set via the SO_LINGER option. These problems are addressed by giving the CCID a grace period of up to the `timeout' value. The wait-for-ccid function is, as before, used when the application (a) has read all the data in its receive buffer and (b) if SO_LINGER was set with a non-zero linger time, or (c) the socket is either in the OPEN (active close) or in the PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ state (client application closes after receiving CloseReq). In addition, there is a catch-all case of __skb_queue_purge() after waiting for the CCID. This is necessary since the write queue may still have data when (a) the host has been passively-closed, (b) abnormal termination (unread data, zero linger time), (c) wait-for-ccid could not finish within the given time limit.

This extends the packet dequeuing interface of dccp_write_xmit() to allow 1. CCIDs to take care of timing when the next packet may be sent; 2. delayed sending (as before, with an inter-packet gap up to 65.535 seconds). The main purpose is to take CCID-2 out of its polling mode (when it is network- limited, it tries every millisecond to send, without interruption). The mode of operation for (2) is as follows: * new packet is enqueued via dccp_sendmsg() => dccp_write_xmit(), * ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() detects that it may not send (e.g. window full), * it signals this condition via `CCID_PACKET_WILL_DEQUEUE_LATER', * dccp_write_xmit() returns without further action; * after some time the wait-condition for CCID becomes true, * that CCID schedules the tasklet, * tasklet function calls ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() via dccp_write_xmit(), * since the wait-condition is now true, ccid_hc_tx_packet() returns "send now", * packet is sent, and possibly more (since dccp_write_xmit() loops). Code reuse: the taskled function calls dccp_write_xmit(), the timer function reduces to a wrapper around the same code. Signed-off-by: -

This patch reorganises the return value convention of the CCID TX sending function, to permit more flexible schemes, as required by subsequent patches. Currently the convention is * values < 0 mean error, * a value == 0 means "send now", and * a value x > 0 means "send in x milliseconds". The patch provides symbolic constants and a function to interpret return values. In addition, it caps the maximum positive return value to 0xFFFF milliseconds, corresponding to 65.535 seconds. This is possible since in CCID-3/4 the maximum possible inter-packet gap is fixed at t_mbi = 64 sec. Signed-off-by:

The DCB credits refill quantum _must_ be greater than half the max packet size. This is needed to guarantee that TX DMA operations are not attempted during a pause state. Additionally, the min IFG must be set correctly for DCB mode. If a DMA operation is requested unexpectedly during the pause state the HW data store may be corrupted leading to a DMA hang. The DMA hang requires a reset to correct. This fixes the HW configuration to avoid this condition. Signed-off-by:

(Applied over Eric's "ehea: fix use after free" patch) Currently ehea stats are broken. The bytes counters are got from the hardware, while the packets counters are got from the device driver. Also, the device driver counters are resetted during the the down process, and the hardware aren't, causing some weird numbers. This patch just consolidates the packets and bytes on the device driver. Signed-off-by:
