commit b4b177a5 upstream. Jouni reported that if a remain-on-channel was active on the same channel as the current operating channel, then the ROC would start, but any frames transmitted using mgmt-tx on the same channel would get delayed until after the ROC. The reason for this is that the ROC starts, but doesn't have any handling for "remain on the same channel", so it stops the interface queues. The later mgmt-tx then puts the frame on the interface queues (since it's on the current operating channel) and thus they get delayed until after the ROC. To fix this, add some logic to handle remaining on the same channel specially and not stop the queues etc. in this case. This not only fixes the bug but also improves behaviour in this case as data frames etc. can continue to flow. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by:

commit d49ad935 upstream. When two threads have the same badness score, it's preferable to kill the thread group leader so that the actual process name is printed to the kernel log rather than the thread group name which may be shared amongst several processes. This was the behavior when select_bad_process() used to do for_each_process(), but it now iterates threads instead and leads to ambiguity. Signed-off-by:

commit 4d4048be upstream. find_lock_task_mm() expects it is called under rcu or tasklist lock, but it seems that at least oom_unkillable_task()->task_in_mem_cgroup() and mem_cgroup_out_of_memory()->oom_badness() can call it lockless. Perhaps we could fix the callers, but this patch simply adds rcu lock into find_lock_task_mm(). This also allows to simplify a bit one of its callers, oom_kill_process(). Signed-off-by:

commit ad962441 upstream. At least out_of_memory() calls has_intersects_mems_allowed() without even rcu_read_lock(), this is obviously buggy. Add the necessary rcu_read_lock(). This means that we can not simply return from the loop, we need "bool ret" and "break". While at it, swap the names of task_struct's (the argument and the local). This cleans up the code a little bit and avoids the unnecessary initialization. Signed-off-by:

commit 1da4db0c upstream. Change oom_kill.c to use for_each_thread() rather than the racy while_each_thread() which can loop forever if we race with exit. Note also that most users were buggy even if while_each_thread() was fine, the task can exit even _before_ rcu_read_lock(). Fortunately the new for_each_thread() only requires the stable task_struct, so this change fixes both problems. Signed-off-by:

commit 0c740d0a upstream. while_each_thread() and next_thread() should die, almost every lockless usage is wrong. 1. Unless g == current, the lockless while_each_thread() is not safe. while_each_thread(g, t) can loop forever if g exits, next_thread() can't reach the unhashed thread in this case. Note that this can happen even if g is the group leader, it can exec. 2. Even if while_each_thread() itself was correct, people often use it wrongly. It was never safe to just take rcu_read_lock() and loop unless you verify that pid_alive(g) == T, even the first next_thread() can point to the already freed/reused memory. This patch adds signal_struct->thread_head and task->thread_node to create the normal rcu-safe list with the stable head. The new for_each_thread(g, t) helper is always safe under rcu_read_lock() as long as this task_struct can't go away. Note: of course it is ugly to have both task_struct->thread_node and the old task_struct->thread_group, we will kill it later, after we change the users of while_each_thread() to use for_each_thread(). Perhaps we can kill it even before we convert all users, we can reimplement next_thread(t) using the new thread_head/thread_node. But we can't do this right now because this will lead to subtle behavioural changes. For example, do/while_each_thread() always sees at least one task, while for_each_thread() can do nothing if the whole thread group has died. Or thread_group_empty(), currently its semantics is not clear unless thread_group_leader(p) and we need to audit the callers before we can change it. So this patch adds the new interface which has to coexist with the old one for some time, hopefully the next changes will be more or less straightforward and the old one will go away soon.

[ Upstream commit e33d0ba8 ] Recycling skb always had been very tough... This time it appears GRO layer can accumulate skb->truesize adjustments made by drivers when they attach a fragment to skb. skb_gro_receive() can only subtract from skb->truesize the used part of a fragment. I spotted this problem seeing TcpExtPruneCalled and TcpExtTCPRcvCollapsed that were unexpected with a recent kernel, where TCP receive window should be sized properly to accept traffic coming from a driver not overshooting skb->truesize.

[ Upstream commit 6b5eeb7f ] This driver maps 802.1q VLANs to MBIM sessions. The mapping is based on a bogus assumption that all tagged frames will use the acceleration API because we enable NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_TX. This fails for e.g. frames tagged in userspace using packet sockets. Such frames will erroneously be considered as untagged and silently dropped based on not being IP. Fix by falling back to looking into the ethernet header for a tag if no accelerated tag was found.

[ Upstream commit ca6c5d4a ] local_df means 'ignore DF bit if set', so if its set we're allowed to perform ip fragmentation. This wasn't noticed earlier because the output path also drops such skbs (and emits needed icmp error) and because netfilter ip defrag did not set local_df until couple of days ago. Only difference is that DF-packets-larger-than MTU now discarded earlier (f.e. we avoid pointless netfilter postrouting trip). While at it, drop the repeated test ip_exceeds_mtu, checking it once is enough... Fixes: fe6cc55f ("net: ip, ipv6: handle gso skbs in forwarding path") Signed-off-by:

Without the fix, IP_ECN_decapsulate() takes outer IP header as inner IP header, possibly causing error messages or packet drops. Note that this skb_reset_network_header() call was in this spot when the original feature for checking consistency of ECN bits through tunnels was added in eccc1bb8 ("tunnel: drop packet if ECN present with not-ECT"). It was only removed from this spot in 3d7b46cd ("ip_tunnel: push generic protocol handling to ip_tunnel module."). Fixes: 3d7b46cd ("ip_tunnel: push generic protocol handling to ip_tunnel module.")

[ Upstream commit 0cda345d ] commit b9f47a3a (tcp_cubic: limit delayed_ack ratio to prevent divide error) try to prevent divide error, but there is still a little chance that delayed_ack can reach zero. In case the param cnt get negative value, then ratio+cnt would overflow and may happen to be zero. As a result, min(ratio, ACK_RATIO_LIMIT) will calculate to be zero. In some old kernels, such as 2.6.32, there is a bug that would pass negative param, which then ultimately leads to this divide error. commit 5b35e1e6 (tcp: fix tcp_trim_head() to adjust segment count with skb MSS) fixed the negative param issue. However, it's safe that we fix the range of delayed_ack as well, to make sure we do not hit a divide by zero. CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit f114890c ] This reverts commit 12a2856b. The commit above doesn't appear to be necessary any more as the checksums appear to be correctly computed/validated. Additionally the above commit breaks kvm configurations where one VM is using a device that support checksum offload (virtio) and the other VM does not. In this case, packets leaving virtio device will have CHECKSUM_PARTIAL set. The packets is forwarded to a macvtap that has offload features turned off. Since we use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, the host does does not update the checksum and thus a bad checksum is passed up to the guest.

[ Upstream commit cbdb0427 ] The following is a problematic configuration: VM1: virtio-net device connected to macvtap0@eth0 VM2: e1000 device connect to macvtap1@eth0 The problem is is that virtio-net supports checksum offloading and thus sends the packets to the host with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL set. On the other hand, e1000 does not support any acceleration. For small TCP packets (and this includes the 3-way handshake), e1000 ends up receiving packets that only have a partial checksum set. This causes TCP to fail checksum validation and to drop packets. As a result tcp connections can not be established. Commit 3e4f8b78 macvtap: Perform GSO on forwarding path. fixes this issue for large packets wthat will end up undergoing GSO. This commit adds a check for the non-GSO case and attempts to compute the checksum for partially checksummed packets in the non-GSO case.

[ Upstream commit 85350871 ] commit 813b3b5d (ipv4: Use caller's on-stack flowi as-is in output route lookups.) introduces another regression which is very similar to the problem of commit e6b45241 (ipv4: reset flowi parameters on route connect) wants to fix: Before we call ip_route_output_key() in sctp_v4_get_dst() to get a dst that matches a bind address as the source address, we have already called this function previously and the flowi parameters have been initialized including flowi4_oif, so when we call this function again, the process in __ip_route_output_key() will be different because of the setting of flowi4_oif, and we'll get a networking device which corresponds to the inputted flowi4_oif as the output device, this is wrong because we'll never hit this place if the previously returned source address of dst match one of the bound addresses. To reproduce this problem, a vlan setting is enough: # ifconfig eth0 up # route del default # vconfig add eth0 2 # vconfig add eth0 3 # ifconfig eth0.2 10.0.1.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 # route add default gw 10.0.1.254 dev eth0.2 # ifconfig eth0.3 10.0.0.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 # ip rule add from 10.0.0.14 table 4 # ip route add table 4 default via 10.0.0.254 src 10.0.0.14 dev eth0.3 # sctp_darn -H 10.0.0.14 -P 36422 -h 10.1.4.134 -p 36422 -s -I You'll detect that all the flow are routed to eth0.2(10.0.1.254).

[ Upstream commit c53864fd ] Since 115c9b81 (rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocation), RTM_NEWLINK messages only contain the IFLA_VFINFO_LIST attribute if they were solicited by a GETLINK message containing an IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute with the RTEXT_FILTER_VF flag. That was done because some user programs broke when they received more data than expected - because IFLA_VFINFO_LIST contains information for each VF it can become large if there are many VFs. However, the IFLA_VF_PORTS attribute, supplied for devices which implement ndo_get_vf_port (currently the 'enic' driver only), has the same problem. It supplies per-VF information and can therefore become large, but it is not currently conditional on the IFLA_EXT_MASK value. Worse, it interacts badly with the existing EXT_MASK handling. When IFLA_EXT_MASK is not supplied, the buffer for netlink replies is fixed at NLMSG_GOODSIZE. If the information for IFLA_VF_PORTS exceeds this, then rtnl_fill_ifinfo() returns -EMSGSIZE on the first message in a packet. netlink_dump() will misinterpret this as having finished the listing and omit data for this interface and all subsequent ones. That can cause getifaddrs(3) to enter an infinite loop. This patch addresses the problem by only supplying IFLA_VF_PORTS when IFLA_EXT_MASK is supplied with the RTEXT_FILTER_VF flag set.

[ Upstream commit 973462bb ] Without IFLA_EXT_MASK specified, the information reported for a single interface in response to RTM_GETLINK is expected to fit within a netlink packet of NLMSG_GOODSIZE. If it doesn't, however, things will go badly wrong, When listing all interfaces, netlink_dump() will incorrectly treat -EMSGSIZE on the first message in a packet as the end of the listing and omit information for that interface and all subsequent ones. This can cause getifaddrs(3) to enter an infinite loop. This patch won't fix the problem, but it will WARN_ON() making it easier to track down what's going wrong. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit b14878cc ] Currently, it is possible to create an SCTP socket, then switch auth_enable via sysctl setting to 1 and crash the system on connect: Oops[#1]: CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 3.14.1-mipsgit-20140415 #1 task: ffffffff8056ce80 ti: ffffffff8055c000 task.ti: ffffffff8055c000 [...] Call Trace: [<ffffffff8043c4e8>] sctp_auth_asoc_set_default_hmac+0x68/0x80 [<ffffffff8042b300>] sctp_process_init+0x5e0/0x8a4 [<ffffffff8042188c>] sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init+0x234/0x34c [<ffffffff804228c8>] sctp_do_sm+0xb4/0x1e8 [<ffffffff80425a08>] sctp_endpoint_bh_rcv+0x1c4/0x214 [<ffffffff8043af68>] sctp_rcv+0x588/0x630 [<ffffffff8043e8e8>] sctp6_rcv+0x10/0x24 [<ffffffff803acb50>] ip6_input+0x2c0/0x440 [<ffffffff8030fc00>] __netif_receive_skb_core+0x4a8/0x564 [<ffffffff80310650>] process_backlog+0xb4/0x18c [<ffffffff80313cbc>] net_rx_action+0x12c/0x210 [<ffffffff80034254>] __do_softirq+0x17c/0x2ac [<ffffffff800345e0>] irq_exit+0x54/0xb0 [<ffffffff800075a4>] ret_from_irq+0x0/0x4 [<ffffffff800090ec>] rm7k_wait_irqoff+0x24/0x48 [<ffffffff8005e388>] cpu_startup_entry+0xc0/0x148 [<ffffffff805a88b0>] start_kernel+0x37c/0x398 Code: dd0900b8 000330f8 0126302d <dcc60000> 50c0fff1 0047182a a48306a0 03e00008 00000000 ---[ end trace b530b0551467f2fd ]--- Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt What happens while auth_enable=0 in that case is, that ep->auth_hmacs is initialized to NULL in sctp_auth_init_hmacs() when endpoint is being created. After that point, if an admin switches over to auth_enable=1, the machine can crash due to NULL pointer dereference during reception of an INIT chunk. When we enter sctp_process_init() via sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init() in order to respond to an INIT chunk, the INIT verification succeeds and while we walk and process all INIT params via sctp_process_param() we find that net->sctp.auth_enable is set, therefore do not fall through, but invoke sctp_auth_asoc_set_default_hmac() instead, and thus, dereference what we have set to NULL during endpoint initialization phase. The fix is to make auth_enable immutable by caching its value during endpoint initialization, so that its original value is being carried along until destruction. The bug seems to originate from the very first days. Fix in joint work with Daniel Borkmann. Reported-by:
