This is especially important in cases where the kernel allocs a new structure and expects a field to be set from a netlink attribute. If such attribute is shorter than expected, the rest of the field is left containing previous data. When such field is read back by the user space, kernel memory content is leaked.

Before commit 3900f290 ("bonding: slight optimizztion for bond_slave_override()") the override logic was to send packets with non-zero queue_id through the slave with corresponding queue_id, under two conditions only - if the slave can transmit and it's up. The above mentioned commit changed this logic by introducing an additional condition - whether the bond is active (indirectly, using the slave_can_tx and later - bond_is_active_slave), that prevents the user from implementing more complex policies according to the Documentation/networking/bonding.txt.

When ipvlan interface with IP addresses attached is brought down and then deleted, the assigned addresses are deleted twice from the address hash list, first on the interface down and second on the link deletion. Similarly, when an address is added while the interface is down, it is added second time once the interface is brought up. When the interface is down, the addresses should be kept off the hash list for performance reasons. Ensure this is true, which also fixes the double add problem. To fix the double free, check whether the address is hashed before removing it.

The FEC modules used on i.MX28 and newer have a register to tune the MDIO output hold time that should be at least 10 ns. Up to now this value was not explicitly set and so resulted in less hold time if the fec clock was faster than 100 MHz. This was noticed on an i.MX28 machine that uses an input clock of ~150 Mhz which resulted in unreliable communication with a Marvell switch.

tcp_v6_fill_cb() will be called twice if socket's state changes from TCP_TIME_WAIT to TCP_LISTEN. That can result in control buffer data corruption because in the second tcp_v6_fill_cb() call it's not copying IP6CB(skb) anymore, but 'seq', 'end_seq', etc., so we can get weird and unpredictable results. Performance loss of up to 1200% has been observed in LTP/vxlan03 test. This can be fixed by copying inet6_skb_parm to the beginning of 'cb' only if xfrm6_policy_check() and tcp_v6_fill_cb() are going to be called again.

With the current code, ids are removed too early. Suppose you have an ipip interface that stands in the netns foo and its link part in the netns bar (so the netns bar has an nsid into the netns foo). Now, you remove the netns bar: - the bar nsid into the netns foo is removed - the netns exit method of ipip is called, thus our ipip iface is removed: => a netlink message is sent in the netns foo to advertise this deletion => this netlink message requests an nsid for bar, thus a new nsid is allocated for bar and never removed. We must remove nsids when we are sure that nobody will refer to netns currently cleaned.

QIDs (egress/ingress) from firmware in FW_*_CMD.alloc command can be anywhere in the range from EQ(IQFLINT)_START to EQ(IQFLINT)_END. For eg, in the first load eqid can be from 100 to 300. In the next load it can be from 301 to 500 (assume eq_start is 100 and eq_end is 1000). The driver was assuming them to always start from EQ(IQFLINT)_START till MAX_EGRQ(INGQ). This was causing stack overflow and subsequent crash. Fixed it by dynamically allocating memory (of qsize (x_END - x_START + 1)) for these structures.

cdc_ncm disagrees with usbnet about how much framing overhead should be counted in the tx_bytes statistics, and tries 'fix' this by decrementing tx_bytes on the transmit path. But statistics must never be decremented except due to roll-over; this will thoroughly confuse user-space. Also, tx_bytes is only incremented by usbnet in the completion path. Fix this by requiring drivers that set FLAG_MULTI_FRAME to set a tx_bytes delta along with the tx_packets count.

Currently the usbnet core does not update the tx_packets statistic for drivers with FLAG_MULTI_PACKET and there is no hook in the TX completion path where they could do this. cdc_ncm and dependent drivers are bumping tx_packets stat on the transmit path while asix and sr9800 aren't updating it at all. Add a packet count in struct skb_data so these drivers can fill it in, initialise it to 1 for other drivers, and add the packet count to the tx_packets statistic on completion.

We occasionally see in procedure mlx4_GEN_EQE that the driver tries to grab an uninitialized mutex. This can occur in only one of two ways: 1. We are trying to generate an async event on an uninitialized slave. 2. We are trying to generate an async event on an illegal slave number ( < 0 or > persist->num_vfs) or an inactive slave. To deal with #1: move the mutex initialization from specific slave init sequence in procedure mlx_master_do_cmd to mlx4_multi_func_init() (so that the mutex is always initialized for all slaves). To deal with #2: check in procedure mlx4_GEN_EQE that the slave number provided is in the proper range and that the slave is active.

Netdevice registration should be performed a the end of the driver initialization flow. If we don't do that, after calling register_netdevice, device callbacks may be issued by higher layers of the stack before final configuration of the device is done. For example (VXLAN configuration race), mlx4_SET_PORT_VXLAN was issued after the register_netdev command. System network scripts may configure the interface (UP) right after the registration, which also attach unicast VXLAN steering rule, before mlx4_SET_PORT_VXLAN was called, causing the firmware to fail the rule attachment.

Master change notifications may occur other than when joining or leaving a bridge, for example when being added to or removed from a bond or Open vSwitch. Previously in those cases rocker_port_bridge_leave() was called which results in a null-pointer dereference as rocker_port->bridge_dev is NULL because there is no bridge device.

Statistics' state-machine in bnx2x driver must be synced with various driver flows, but its current locking scheme manages to be wasteful [using 2 locks + additional local variable] and prone to race-conditions at the same time, as the state-machine and 'action' are being accessed under different locks. In addition, current 'safe exec' isn't in fact safe, since the only guarantee it gives is that DMA transactions are over, but ramrods might still be running. This patch cleans up said logic, leaving us with a single lock for the entire flow and removing the possible races. Changes from v2: - Switched into mutex locking from semaphore locking. - Release locks on error flows. Changes from v1: Failure to acquire lock fails flow instead of printing a warning and allowing access to the critical section.

Firstly, handle zero length calls properly. Believe it or not there are a few of these happening during early boot. Next, we can't just drop to a memcpy() call in the forward copy case where dst <= src. The reason is that the cache initializing stores used in the Niagara memcpy() implementations can end up clearing out cache lines before we've sourced their original contents completely. For example, considering NG4memcpy, the main unrolled loop begins like this: load src + 0x00 load src + 0x08 load src + 0x10 load src + 0x18 load src + 0x20 store dst + 0x00 Assume dst is 64 byte aligned and let's say that dst is src - 8 for this memcpy() call. That store at the end there is the one to the first line in the cache line, thus clearing the whole line, which thus clobbers "src + 0x28" before it even gets loaded. To avoid this, just fall through to a simple copy only mildly optimized for the case where src and dst are 8 byte aligned and the length is a multiple of 8 as well. We could get fancy and call GENmemcpy() but this is good enough for how this thing is actually used.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter fixes for net The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for your net tree, they are: 1) Fix missing initialization of tuple structure in nfnetlink_cthelper to avoid mismatches when looking up to attach userspace helpers to flows, from Ian Wilson. 2) Fix potential crash in nft_hash when we hit -EAGAIN in nft_hash_walk(), from Herbert Xu. 3) We don't need to indicate the hook information to update the basechain default policy in nf_tables. 4) Restore tracing over nfnetlink_log due to recent rework to accomodate logging infrastructure into nf_tables. 5) Fix wrong IP6T_INV_PROTO check in xt_TPROXY. 6) Set IP6T_F_PROTO flag in nft_compat so we can use SYNPROXY6 and REJECT6 from xt over nftables. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
