We used to read file_handle twice. Once to get the amount of extra bytes, and once to fetch the entire structure. This may be problematic since we do size verifications only after the first read, so if the number of extra bytes changes in userspace between the first and second calls, we'll have an incoherent view of file_handle. Instead, read the constant size once, and copy that over to the final structure without having to re-read it again.

However if a packet is localy sent, the PMTU mechanism of xfrm tries to to local socket notification what might not work for applications like ping that don't check for this.

Commit dff173de ("bnx2x: Fix statistics locking scheme") changed the bnx2x locking around statistics state into using a mutex - but the lock is being accessed via a timer which is forbidden. [If compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES, logs show a warning about accessing the mutex in interrupt context] This moves the implementation into using a semaphore [with size '1'] instead.

When we come to tear things down in netback_remove() and generate the uevent it is possible that the xenstore directory has already been removed (details below). In such cases netback_uevent() won't be able to read the hotplug script and will write a xenstore error node. A recent change to the hypervisor exposed this race such that we now sometimes lose it (where apparently we didn't ever before). Instead read the hotplug script configuration during setup and use it for the lifetime of the backend device. The apparently more obvious fix of moving the transition to state=Closed in netback_remove() to after the uevent does not work because it is possible that we are already in state=Closed (in reaction to the guest having disconnected as it shutdown). Being already in Closed means the toolstack is at liberty to start tearing down the xenstore directories. In principal it might be possible to arrange to unregister the device sooner (e.g on transition to Closing) such that xenstore would still be there but this state machine is fragile and prone to anger... A modern Xen system only relies on the hotplug uevent for driver domains, when the backend is in the same domain as the toolstack it will run the necessary setup/teardown directly in the correct sequence wrt xenstore changes.

This partially reverts commit 1086bbe9 ("netfilter: ensure number of counters is >0 in do_replace()") in net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c. Setting rules with ebtables does not work any more with 1086bbe9 place. There is an error message and no rules set in the end. e.g. ~# ebtables -t nat -A POSTROUTING --src 12:34:56:78:9a:bc -j DROP Unable to update the kernel. Two possible causes: 1. Multiple ebtables programs were executing simultaneously. The ebtables userspace tool doesn't by default support multiple ebtables programs running Reverting the ebtables part of 1086bbe9 makes this work again.

sparc: Resolve conflict between sparc v9 and M7 on usage of bit 9 of TTE Bit 9 of TTE is CV (Cacheable in V-cache) on sparc v9 processor while the same bit 9 is MCDE (Memory Corruption Detection Enable) on M7 processor. This creates a conflicting usage of the same bit. Kernel sets TTE.cv bit on all pages for sun4v architecture which works well for sparc v9 but enables memory corruption detection on M7 processor which is not the intent. This patch adds code to determine if kernel is running on M7 processor and takes steps to not enable memory corruption detection in TTE erroneously.

While shuffling some code around, dsa_switch_setup_one() was introduced, and it was modified to return either an error code using ERR_PTR() or a NULL pointer when running out of memory or failing to setup a switch. This is a problem for its caler: dsa_switch_setup() which uses IS_ERR() and expects to find an error code, not a NULL pointer, so we still try to proceed with dsa_switch_setup() and operate on invalid memory addresses. This can be easily reproduced by having e.g: the bcm_sf2 driver built-in, but having no such switch, such that drv->setup will fail. Fix this by using PTR_ERR() consistently which is both more informative and avoids for the caller to use IS_ERR_OR_NULL().

Neal Cardwell authored
Linux 3.17 and earlier are explicitly engineered so that if the app doesn't specifically request a CC module on a listener before the SYN arrives, then the child gets the system default CC when the connection is established. See tcp_init_congestion_control() in 3.17 or earlier, which says "if no choice made yet assign the current value set as default". The change ("net: tcp: assign tcp cong_ops when tcp sk is created") altered these semantics, so that children got their parent listener's congestion control even if the system default had changed after the listener was created. This commit returns to those original semantics from 3.17 and earlier, since they are the original semantics from 2007 in 4d4d3d1e ("[TCP]: Congestion control initialization."), and some Linux congestion control workflows depend on that. In summary, if a listener socket specifically sets TCP_CONGESTION to "x", or the route locks the CC module to "x", then the child gets "x". Otherwise the child gets current system default from net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control. That's the behavior in 3.17 and earlier, and this commit restores that.

We have two problems in UDP stack related to bogus checksums : 1) We return -EAGAIN to application even if receive queue is not empty. This breaks applications using edge trigger epoll() 2) Under UDP flood, we can loop forever without yielding to other processes, potentially hanging the host, especially on non SMP. This patch is an attempt to make things better. We might in the future add extra support for rt applications wanting to better control time spent doing a recv() in a hostile environment. For example we could validate checksums before queuing packets in socket receive queue.
