We have found a hardware erratum on 82599 hardware that can lead to unpredictable behavior when Header Splitting mode is enabled. So we are no longer enabling this feature on affected hardware. Please see the 82599 Specification Update for more information.

Currently the driver increments the tx_timeout counter (an error counter) when simply resetting the part with outstanding transmit work pending. This is an unnecessary count of an error, when all we should be doing is just resetting the part and discarding the transmits. With this change the only increment of tx_timeout is when the stack calls the watchdog reset function due to a true Tx timeout.

We access the data inside the skbs of two fragments directly using memmove during the merge. The data of the skb could span over multiple skb pages. An direct access without knowledge about the pages would lead to an invalid memory access.

Originally x25_parse_facilities returned -1 for an error 0 meaning 0 length facilities >0 the length of the facilities parsed. 5ef41308 ("x25: Prevent crashing when parsing bad X.25 facilities") introduced more error checking in x25_parse_facilities however used 0 to indicate bad parsing a6331d6f ("memory corruption in X.25 facilities parsing") followed this further for DTE facilities, again using 0 for bad parsing. The meaning of 0 got confused in the callers. If the facilities are messed up we can't determine where the data starts. So patch makes all parsing errors return -1 and ensures callers close and don't use the skb further.

Prevent packets duplication for frames targeting FCoE L2 ring: packets were arriving to stack from both L2 RSS and from FCoE L2 in a promiscuous mode. Configure FCoE L2 ring to DROP_ALL rx mode, when interface is configured to PROMISC, and to accept only unicast frames, when interface is configured to ALL_MULTI.

Some experiment-based action to prevent my 8168 chipsets locking-up hard in the irq handler under load (pktgen ~1Mpps). Apparently a reset is not always mandatory (is it at all ?). - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_25 Missed ~55% packets. Note: - this is an old SiS 965L motherboard - the 8168 chipset emits (lots of) control frames towards the sender - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_26 The chipset does not go into a frenzy of mac control pause when it crashes yet but it can still be crashed. It needs more work. Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Cc: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Cc: Hayes <hayeswang@realtek.com>

I found that one of the 8168c chipsets (concretely XID 1c4000c0) starts generating RxFIFO overflow errors. The result is an infinite loop in interrupt handler as the RxFIFOOver is handled only for ...MAC_VER_11. With the workaround everything goes fine.

Commit 709b46e8 ("net: Add compat ioctl support for the ipv4 multicast ioctl SIOCGETSGCNT") added the correct plumbing to handle SIOCGETSGCNT properly. However, whilst definiting a proper "struct compat_sioc_sg_req" it isn't actually used in ipmr_compat_ioctl(). Correct this oversight. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

As reported by Flavio Leitner, there is no synchronization to protect NIU's get_stats method from seeing a NULL pointer in either np->rx_rings or np->tx_rings. In fact, as far as ->ndo_get_stats is concerned, these values are set completely asynchronously. Flavio attempted to fix this using a RW semaphore, which in fact works most of the time. However, dev_get_stats() can be invoked from non-sleepable contexts in some cases, so this fix doesn't work in all cases. So instead, control the visibility of the np->{rx,tx}_ring pointers when the device is being brough up, and use properties of the device down sequence to our advantage. In niu_get_stats(), return immediately if netif_running() is false. The device shutdown sequence first marks the device as not running (by clearing the __LINK_STATE_START bit), then it performans a synchronize_rcu() (in dev_deactive_many()), and then finally it invokes the driver ->ndo_stop() method. This guarentees that all invocations of niu_get_stats() either see netif_running() as false, or they see the channel pointers before ->ndo_stop() clears them out. If netif_running() is true, protect against startup races by loading the np->{rx,tx}_rings pointer into a local variable, and punting if it is NULL. Use ACCESS_ONCE to prevent the compiler from reloading the pointer on us. Also, during open, control the order in which the pointers and the ring counts become visible globally using SMP write memory barriers. We make sure the np->num_{rx,tx}_rings value is stable and visible before np->{rx,tx}_rings is. Such visibility control is not necessary on the niu_free_channels() side because of the RCU sequencing that happens during device down as described above. We are always guarenteed that all niu_get_stats calls are finished, or will see netif_running() false, by the time ->ndo_stop is invoked.
