Alexander reported that the new optimized handling of the RX fifo causes random packet loss on Intel PCH C_CAN hardware. After a few fruitless debugging sessions I got hold of a PCH (eg20t) afflicted system. That machine does not have the CAN interface wired up, but it was possible to reproduce the issue with the HW loopback mode. As Alexander observed correctly, clearing the NewDat flag along with reading out the message buffer causes that issue on C_CAN, while D_CAN handles that correctly. Instead of restoring the original message buffer handling horror the following workaround solves the issue: transfer buffer to IF without clearing the NewDat handle the message clear NewDat bit That's similar to the original code but conditional for C_CAN. I really wonder why all user manuals (C_CAN, Intel PCH and some more) recommend to clear the NewDat bit right away. The knows it all Oracle operated by Gurgle does not unearth any useful information either. I simply cannot believe that we are the first to uncover that HW issue.

The RX buffer split causes packet loss in the hardware: What happens is: RX Packet 1 --> message buffer 1 (newdat bit is not cleared) RX Packet 2 --> message buffer 2 (newdat bit is not cleared) RX Packet 3 --> message buffer 3 (newdat bit is not cleared) RX Packet 4 --> message buffer 4 (newdat bit is not cleared) RX Packet 5 --> message buffer 5 (newdat bit is not cleared) RX Packet 6 --> message buffer 6 (newdat bit is not cleared) RX Packet 7 --> message buffer 7 (newdat bit is not cleared) RX Packet 8 --> message buffer 8 (newdat bit is not cleared) Clear newdat bit in message buffer 1 Clear newdat bit in message buffer 2 Clear newdat bit in message buffer 3 Clear newdat bit in message buffer 4 Clear newdat bit in message buffer 5 Clear newdat bit in message buffer 6 Clear newdat bit in message buffer 7 Clear newdat bit in message buffer 8 Now if during that clearing of newdat bits, a new message comes in, the HW gets confused and drops it. It does not matter how many of them you clear. I put a delay between clear of buffer 1 and buffer 2 which was long enough that the message should have been queued either in buffer 1 or buffer 9. But it did not show up anywhere. The next message ended up in buffer 1. So the hardware lost a packet of course without telling it via one of the error handlers. That does not happen on all clear newdat bit events. I see one of 10k packets dropped in the scenario which allows us to reproduce. But the trace looks always the same. Not splitting the RX Buffer avoids the packet loss but can cause reordering. It's hard to trigger, but it CAN happen. With that mode we use the HW as it was probably designed for. We read from the buffer 1 upwards and clear the buffer as we get the message. That's how all microcontrollers use it. So I assume that the way we handle the buffers was never really tested. According to the public documentation it should just work :) Let the user decide which evil is the lesser one.

The driver handles pointlessly TWO interrupts per packet. The reason is that it enables the status interrupt which fires for each rx and tx packet and it enables the per message object interrupts as well. The status interrupt merily acks or in case of D_CAN ignores the TX/RX state and then the message object interrupt fires. The message objects interrupts are only useful if all message objects have hardware filters activated. But we don't have that and its not simple to implement in that driver without rewriting it completely. So we can ditch the message object interrupts and handle the RX/TX right away from the status interrupt. Instead of TWO we handle ONE. Note: We must keep the TXIE/RXIE bits in the message buffers because the status interrupt alone is not reliable enough in corner cases. If we ever have the need for HW filtering, then this code needs a complete overhaul and we can think about it then. For now we prefer a lower interrupt load.

The state change handler is called with device interrupts disabled already. So no point in disabling them again when we enter bus off state. But what's worse is that we reenable the interrupts at the end of NAPI poll unconditionally. So c_can_start() which is called from the restart timer can trigger interrupts which confuse the hell out of the half reinitialized driver/hw. Remove the pointless device interrupt disable in the BUS_OFF handler and prevent reenabling the device interrupts at the end of the poll routine when the current state is BUS_OFF.

c_can_start() enables interrupts way too early. The first enabling happens when setting the control mode in c_can_chip_config() and then again at the end of the function. But that happens before napi_enable() and that means that an interrupt which comes in will disable interrupts again and call napi_schedule, which ignores the request and the later napi_enable() is not making thinks work either. So the interface is up with all device interrupts disabled. Move the device interrupt after napi_enable() and add it to the other callsites of c_can_start() in c_can_set_mode() and c_can_power_up() Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Tested-by: Alexander Stein <alexander.stein@systec-electronic.com> Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>

Eric W. Biederman says: ==================== netlink: Preventing abuse when passing file descriptors. Andy Lutomirski when looking at the networking stack noticed that it is possible to trick privilged processes into calling write on a netlink socket and send netlink messages they did not intend. In particular from time to time there are suid applications that will write to stdout or stderr without checking exactly what kind of file descriptors those are and can be tricked into acting as a limited form of suid cat. In other conversations the magic string CVE-2014-0181 has been used to talk about this issue. This patchset cleans things up a bit, adds some clean abstractions that when used prevent this kind of problem and then finally changes all of the handlers of netlink messages that I could find that call capable to use netlink_ns_capable or an appropriate wrapper. The abstraction netlink_ns_capable verifies that the original creator of the netlink socket a message is sent from had the necessary capabilities as well as verifying that the current sender of a netlink packet has the necessary capabilities. The idea is to prevent file descriptor passing of any form from resulting in a file descriptor that can do more than it can for the creator of the file descriptor. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that privileged executable did not intend to do. To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls. Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.

The goal of this patch is to fix rtnelink notification. The main problem was about notification for fdb entry with more than one remote.

In ksz9021_load_values_from_of() val2 to val4 aren't tested against their initialization value. This causes the test to always succeed, and this value to be used as if it was loaded from the devicetree instead of being ignored, in case of a missing/invalid property in the ethernet OF device node. As a result, the value "0" is written to the relevant registers. Change the conditions to test against the right initialization value.
