This patch fixes a lockdep warning: [ 516.287584] ========================================================= [ 516.288386] [ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ] [ 516.288386] 2.6.35b #7 [ 516.288386] --------------------------------------------------------- [ 516.288386] swapper/0 just changed the state of lock: [ 516.288386] (&qdisc_tx_lock){+.-...}, at: [<c12eacda>] est_timer+0x62/0x1b4 [ 516.288386] but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past: [ 516.288386] (est_tree_lock){+.+...} [ 516.288386] [ 516.288386] and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them. ...

Packets entering GRO might have different headrooms, even for a given flow (because of implementation details in drivers, like copybreak). We cant force drivers to deliver packets with a fixed headroom. 1) fix skb_segment() skb_segment() makes the false assumption headrooms of fragments are same than the head. When CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is used, this can give csum_start errors, and crash later in skb_copy_and_csum_dev() 2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list skb_gro_receive() uses netdev_alloc_skb(headroom + skb_gro_offset(p)) to allocate a fresh skb. This adds NET_SKB_PAD to a padding already provided by netdevice, depending on various things, like copybreak. Use alloc_skb() to allocate an exact padding, to reduce cache line needs: NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN bugzilla : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16626 Many thanks to Plamen Petrov, testing many debugging patches !

vortex_ioctl() was grabbing vortex_private::lock around its call to generic_mii_ioctl(). This is no longer necessary since there are more specific locks which the mdio_{read,write}() functions will obtain. Worse, those functions do not save and restore IRQ flags when locking the MII state, so interrupts will be enabled when generic_mii_ioctl() returns. Since there is currently no need for any function to call mdio_{read,write}() while holding another spinlock, do not change them to save and restore IRQ flags but remove the specification of ordering between vortex_private::lock and vortex_private::mii_lock.

There's something very important I forgot to tell you. What? Don't cross the GRO streams. Why? It would be bad. I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"? Try to imagine all the Internet as you know it stopping instantaneously and every bit in every packet swapping at the speed of light. Total packet reordering. Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Hubert The simplest way to stop this is just avoid doing GRO on the second port. Very few Marvell boards support two ports per ring, and GRO is just an optimization.

The 5 GHz CTL indexes were not being read for all hardware devices due to the masking out through the CTL_MODE_M mask being one bit too short. Without this the calibrated regulatory maximum values were not being picked up when devices operate on 5 GHz in HT40 mode.

If irda_open_tsap() fails, the irda_bind() code tries to destroy the ->ias_obj object by hand, but does so wrongly. In particular, it fails to a) release the hashbin attached to the object and b) reset the self->ias_obj pointer to NULL. Fix both problems by using irias_delete_object() and explicitly setting self->ias_obj to NULL, just as irda_release() does. Reported-by: Tavis Ormandy <taviso@cmpxchg8b.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Johannes Berg authored
Wireless extensions have an unfortunate, undocumented requirement which requires drivers to always fill iwp->length when returning a successful status. When a driver doesn't do this, it leads to a kernel heap content leak when userspace offers a larger buffer than would have been necessary. Arguably, this is a driver bug, as it should, if it returns 0, fill iwp->length, even if it separately indicated that the buffer contents was not valid. However, we can also at least avoid the memory content leak if the driver doesn't do this by setting the iwp length to max_tokens, which then reflects how big the buffer is that the driver may fill, regardless of how big the userspace buffer is. To illustrate the point, this patch also fixes a corresponding cfg80211 bug (since this requirement isn't documented nor was ever pointed out by anyone during code review, I don't trust all drivers nor all cfg80211 handlers to implement it correctly).

The new workqueue changes helped me find this bug that's been lingering since the changes to the work processing in mac80211 -- the work timer is never deleted properly. Do that to avoid having it fire after all data structures have been freed. It can't be re-armed because all it will do, if running, is schedule the work, but that gets flushed later and won't have anything to do since all work items are gone by now (by way of interface removal).

Michael reported that p54* never really entered power save mode, even tough it was enabled. It turned out that upon a power save mode change the firmware will set a special flag onto the last outgoing frame tx status (which in this case is almost always the designated PSM nullfunc frame). This flag confused the driver; It erroneously reported transmission failures to the stack, which then generated the next nullfunc. and so on...

The string clone is only used as a temporary copy of the argument val within the while loop, and so it should be freed before leaving the function. The call to strsep, however, modifies clone, so a pointer to the front of the string is kept in saved_clone, to make it possible to free it. The sematic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; expression E; identifier l; statement S; @@ *x= \(kasprintf\|kstrdup\)(...); ... if (x == NULL) S ... when != kfree(x) when != E = x if (...) { <... when != kfree(x) * goto l; ...> * return ...; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: David S.

As discovered by Anton Blanchard, current code to autotune tcp_death_row.sysctl_max_tw_buckets, sysctl_tcp_max_orphans and sysctl_max_syn_backlog makes little sense. The bigger a page is, the less tcp_max_orphans is : 4096 on a 512GB machine in Anton's case. (tcp_hashinfo.bhash_size * sizeof(struct inet_bind_hashbucket)) is much bigger if spinlock debugging is on. Its wrong to select bigger limits in this case (where kernel structures are also bigger) bhash_size max is 65536, and we get this value even for small machines. A better ground is to use size of ehash table, this also makes code shorter and more obvious. Based on a patch from Anton, and another from David.

It is possible that phylib will call adjust_link before returning from {,of_}phy_connect(), which may cause the following [very rare, though] oops upon reopening the device: Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x0000024c Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NR_CPUS=2 LTT NESTING LEVEL : 0 P1021 RDB Modules linked in: NIP: c0345dac LR: c0345dac CTR: c0345d84 TASK = dffab6b0[30] 'events/0' THREAD: c0d24000 CPU: 0 [...] NIP [c0345dac] adjust_link+0x28/0x19c LR [c0345dac] adjust_link+0x28/0x19c Call Trace: [c0d25f00] [000045e1] 0x45e1 (unreliable) [c0d25f30] [c036c158] phy_state_machine+0x3ac/0x554 [...] Here is why. Drivers store phydev in their private structures, e.g. gianfar driver: static int init_phy(struct net_device *dev) { ... priv->phydev = of_phy_connect(...); ... } So that adjust_link could retrieve it back: static void adjust_link(struct net_device *dev) { ... struct phy_device *phydev = priv->phydev; ... } If the device has been opened before, then phydev->state is set to PHY_HALTED (or undefined if the driver didn't call phy_stop()). Now, phy_connect starts the PHY state machine before returning phydev to the driver: phy_start_machine(phydev, NULL); if (phydev->irq > 0) phy_start_interrupts(phydev); return phydev; The time between 'phy_start_machine()' and 'return phydev' is undefined. The start machine routine delays execution for 1 second, which is enough for most cases. But under heavy load, or if you're unlucky, it is quite possible that PHY state machine will execute before phy_connect() returns, and so adjust_link callback will try to dereference phydev, which is not yet ready. To fix the issue, simply initialize the PHY's state to PHY_READY during phy_attach(). This will ensure that phylib won't call adjust_link before phy_start().
