When an allocation in the txq_init path fails, the allocated buffers end-up being freed twice: in the txq_init error path, and in txq_deinit. This lead to issues as txq_deinit would work on already freed memory regions: kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3915! Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP This patch fixes this by removing the txq_init own error path, as the txq_deinit function is always called on errors. This was introduced by TSO as way more buffers are allocated.

Jiri Pirko says: ==================== mlxsw: GRE offloading fixes Petr says: This patchset fixes a couple bugs in offloading GRE tunnels in mlxsw driver. Patch #1 fixes a problem that local routes pointing at a GRE tunnel device are offloaded even if that netdevice is down. Patch #2 detects that as a result of moving a GRE netdevice to a different VRF, two tunnels now have a conflict of local addresses, something that the mlxsw driver can't offload. Patch #3 fixes a FIB abort caused by forming a route pointing at a GRE tunnel that is eligible for offloading but already onloaded. Patch #4 fixes a problem that next hops migrated to a new RIF kept the old RIF reference, which went dangling shortly afterwards. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The function mlxsw_sp_nexthop_rif_update() walks the list of nexthops associated with a RIF, and updates the corresponding entries in the switch. It is used in particular when a tunnel underlay netdevice moves to a different VRF, and all the nexthops are migrated over to a new RIF. The problem is that each nexthop holds a reference to its RIF, and that is not updated. So after the old RIF is gone, further activity on these nexthops (such as downing the underlay netdevice) dereferences a dangling pointer. Fix the issue by updating rif of impacted nexthops before calling mlxsw_sp_nexthop_rif_update().

Some tunnels that are offloadable on their own can nonetheless be demoted to slow path if their local address is in conflict with that of another tunnel. When a route is formed for such a tunnel, mlxsw_sp_nexthop_ipip_init() fails to find the corresponding IPIP entry, and that triggers a FIB abort. Resolve the problem by not assuming that a tunnel for which mlxsw_sp_ipip_ops.can_offload() holds also automatically has an IPIP entry.

The mlxsw driver currently doesn't offload GRE tunnels if they have the same local address and use the same underlay VRF. When such a situation arises, the tunnels in conflict are demoted to slow path. However, the current code only verifies this condition on tunnel creation and tunnel change, not when a tunnel is moved to a different VRF. When the tunnel has no bound device, underlay and overlay are the same. Thus moving a tunnel moves the underlay as well, and that can cause local address conflict. So modify mlxsw_sp_netdevice_ipip_ol_vrf_event() to check if there are any conflicting tunnels, and demote them if yes.

When a new local route is added, an IPIP entry is looked up to determine whether the route should be offloaded as a tunnel decap or as a trap.

Adding cloud filters could fail for a number of reasons, unsupported filter fields for example, which fails during validation of fields itself. This will not result in admin command errors and converting the admin queue status to posix error code using i40e_aq_rc_to_posix would result in incorrect error values.

[ 105.236839] deferring g.e. 0x903 (pfn 0x35805) This problem relies on netfront and netback being out of sync. By the time netfront revokes the g.e.'s netback didn't have enough time to free all of them, hence displaying the warnings on dmesg.

When doing asoc reset, if the sender of the response has already sent some chunk and increased asoc->next_tsn before the duplicate request comes, the response will use the old result with an incorrect sender next_tsn. Better than asoc->next_tsn, asoc->ctsn_ack_point can't be changed after the sender of the response has performed the asoc reset and before the peer has confirmed it, and it's value is still asoc->next_tsn original value minus 1. This patch sets sender next_tsn for the old result with ctsn_ack_point plus 1 when processing the duplicate request, to make sure the sender next_tsn value peer gets will be always right.

Now when doing asoc reset, it cleans up sacked and abandoned queues by calling sctp_outq_free where it also cleans up unsent, retransmit and transmitted queues. It's safe for the sender of response, as these 3 queues are empty at that time. But when the receiver of response is doing the reset, the users may already enqueue some chunks into unsent during the time waiting the response, and these chunks should not be flushed. To void the chunks in it would be removed, it moves the queue into a temp list, then gets it back after sctp_outq_free is done. The patch also fixes some incorrect comments in sctp_process_strreset_tsnreq.

As it says in rfc6525#section5.1.4, before sending the request, C2: The sender has either no outstanding TSNs or considers all outstanding TSNs abandoned. Prior to this patch, it tried to consider all outstanding TSNs abandoned by dropping all chunks in all outqs with sctp_outq_free (even including sacked, retransmit and transmitted queues) when doing this reset, which is too aggressive. To make it work gently, this patch will only allow the asoc reset when the sender has no outstanding TSNs by checking if unsent, transmitted and retransmit are all empty with sctp_outq_is_empty before sending and processing the request.

Now the out stream reset in sctp stream reconf could be done even if the stream outq is not empty. It means that users can not be sure since which msg the new ssn will be used. To make this more synchronous, it shouldn't allow to do out stream reset until these chunks in unsent outq all are sent out. This patch checks the corresponding stream outqs when sending and processing the request . If any of them has unsent chunks in outq, it will return -EAGAIN instead or send SCTP_STRRESET_IN_PROGRESS back to the sender.

If we want to add a datapath flow, which has more than 500 vxlan outputs' action, we will get the following error reports: openvswitch: netlink: Flow action size 32832 bytes exceeds max openvswitch: netlink: Flow action size 32832 bytes exceeds max openvswitch: netlink: Actions may not be safe on all matching packets ... ... It seems that we can simply enlarge the MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE to fix it, but this is not the root cause. For example, for a vxlan output action, we need about 60 bytes for the nlattr, but after it is converted to the flow action, it only occupies 24 bytes. This means that we can still support more than 1000 vxlan output actions for a single datapath flow under the the current 32k max limitation. So even if the nla_len(attr) is larger than MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE, we shouldn't report EINVAL and keep it move on, as the judgement can be done by the reserve_sfa_size.

gso_type is being used in binary AND operations together with SKB_GSO_UDP. The issue is that variable gso_type is of type unsigned short and SKB_GSO_UDP expands to more than 16 bits: SKB_GSO_UDP = 1 << 16 this makes any binary AND operation between gso_type and SKB_GSO_UDP to be always zero, hence making some code unreachable and likely causing undesired behavior.

Setting the refcount to 0 when allocating a tree to match the number of switch devices it holds may cause an 'increment on 0; use-after-free', if CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL is enabled. To fix this, do not decrement the refcount of a newly allocated tree, increment it when an already allocated tree is found, and decrement it after the probing of a switch, as done with the previous behavior. At the same time, make dsa_tree_get and dsa_tree_put accept a NULL argument to simplify callers, and return the tree after incrementation, as most kref users like of_node_get and of_node_put do.

When using the host personality, VMCI will grab a mutex for any queue pair access. In the detach callback for the vmci vsock transport, we call vsock_stream_has_data while holding a spinlock, and vsock_stream_has_data will access a queue pair. To avoid this, we can simply omit calling vsock_stream_has_data for host side queue pairs, since the QPs are empty per default when the guest has detached. This bug affects users of VMware Workstation using kernel version 4.4 and later. Testing: Ran vsock tests between guest and host, and verified that with this change, the host isn't calling vsock_stream_has_data during detach.

Commit 86dabda4 ("net: thunderbolt: Clear finished Tx frame bus address in tbnet_tx_callback()") fixed a DMA-API violation where the driver called dma_unmap_page() in tbnet_free_buffers() for a bus address that might already be unmapped. The fix was to zero out the bus address of a frame in tbnet_tx_callback(). However, as pointed out by David Miller, zero might well be valid mapping (at least in theory) so it is not good idea to use it here. It turns out that we don't need the whole map/unmap dance for Tx buffers at all. Instead we can map the buffers when they are initially allocated and unmap them when the interface is brought down. In between we just DMA sync the buffers for the CPU or device as needed. Signed-off-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

(2) Don't set connection upgrade by default. (3) Differentiate the call->user_mutex used by the kernel from that used by userspace calling sendmsg() to avoid lockdep warnings. (4) Delay terminal ACK transmission to a work queue so that it can be replaced by the next call if there is one. (5) Split the call parameters from the connection parameters so that more call-specific parameters can be passed through. (6) Fix the call timeouts to work the same as for other RxRPC/AFS implementations. (7) Don't transmit DELAY ACKs immediately, but instead delay them slightly so that can be discarded or can represent more packets. (8) Use RTT to calculate certain protocol timeouts. (9) Add a timeout to detect lost ACK/DATA packets. (10) Add a keepalive function so that we ping the peer if we haven't transmitted for a short while, thereby keeping intervening firewall routes open. (11) Make service endpoints expire like they're supposed to so that the UDP port can be reused.

Fix the rxrpc connection expiry timers so that connections for closed AF_RXRPC sockets get deleted in a more timely fashion, freeing up the transport UDP port much more quickly. (1) Replace the delayed work items with work items plus timers so that timer_reduce() can be used to shorten them and so that the timer doesn't requeue the work item if the net namespace is dead. (2) Don't use queue_delayed_work() as that won't alter the timeout if the timer is already running. (3) Don't rearm the timers if the network namespace is dead.

RxRPC service endpoints expire like they're supposed to by the following means: (1) Mark dead rxrpc_net structs (with ->live) rather than twiddling the global service conn timeout, otherwise the first rxrpc_net struct to die will cause connections on all others to expire immediately from then on. (2) Mark local service endpoints for which the socket has been closed (->service_closed) so that the expiration timeout can be much shortened for service and client connections going through that endpoint. (3) rxrpc_put_service_conn() needs to schedule the reaper when the usage count reaches 1, not 0, as idle conns have a 1 count. (4) The accumulator for the earliest time we might want to schedule for should be initialised to jiffies + MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET, not ULONG_MAX as the comparison functions use signed arithmetic. (5) Simplify the expiration handling, adding the expiration value to the idle timestamp each time rather than keeping track of the time in the past before which the idle timestamp must go to be expired. This is much easier to read. (6) Ignore the timeouts if the net namespace is dead. (7) Restart the service reaper work item rather the client reaper.

We need to transmit a packet every so often to act as a keepalive for the peer (which has a timeout from the last time it received a packet) and also to prevent any intervening firewalls from closing the route. Do this by resetting a timer every time we transmit a packet. If the timer ever expires, we transmit a PING ACK packet and thereby also elicit a PING RESPONSE ACK from the other side - which prevents our last-rx timeout from expiring. The timer is set to 1/6 of the last-rx timeout so that we can detect the other side going away if it misses 6 replies in a row. This is particularly necessary for servers where the processing of the service function may take a significant amount of time. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Add an extra timeout that is set/updated when we send a DATA packet that has the request-ack flag set. This allows us to detect if we don't get an ACK in response to the latest flagged packet. The ACK packet is adjudged to have been lost if it doesn't turn up within 2*RTT of the transmission. If the timeout occurs, we schedule the sending of a PING ACK to find out the state of the other side. If a new DATA packet is ready to go sooner, we cancel the sending of the ping and set the request-ack flag on that instead. If we get back a PING-RESPONSE ACK that indicates a lower tx_top than what we had at the time of the ping transmission, we adjudge all the DATA packets sent between the response tx_top and the ping-time tx_top to have been lost and retransmit immediately. Rather than sending a PING ACK, we could just pick a DATA packet and speculatively retransmit that with request-ack set. It should result in either a REQUESTED ACK or a DUPLICATE ACK which we can then use in lieu the a PING-RESPONSE ACK mentioned above. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Express protocol timeouts for data retransmission and deferred ack generation in terms on RTT rather than specified timeouts once we have sufficient RTT samples. For the moment, this requires just one RTT sample to be able to use this for ack deferral and two for data retransmission. The data retransmission timeout is set at RTT*1.5 and the ACK deferral timeout is set at RTT. Note that the calculated timeout is limited to a minimum of 4ns to make sure it doesn't happen too quickly. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
