Since device resets can change the current mode it's possible to think the device is in a different mode than it actually is. Rather than trying to determine every place that is needed to set/save the current mode, be safe and check the devices actual mode when needed rather than trying to track it.

Govindarajulu Varadarajan says: ==================== enic: Add support for rx_copybreak The following series implements rx_copybreak. dma_map_single()/dma_unmap_single() is more expensive than alloc_skb & memcpy for smaller packets. By doing this we can reuse the dma buff which is already mapped. This is very useful when iommu is on. The default skb copybreak value is 256. When iommu is on, we can go much higher than 256. All the drivers that supports rx_copybreak provides module parameter to change this value. Since module parameter is the least preferred way for changing driver values, this series adds ethtool support for setting rx_copybreak. v4: Validate tunable length in ethtool_get_tunable, not in driver implemented function. Loose tunable_ops array for each tunable type. Define one function and let the driver use switch case for each type. Use double underscore for data type in UAPI headers. Use const qualifier where possible. v3: Add tunable namespace to ethtool. Use new ethtool cmd ETHTOOL_S/GTUNABLE to set/get rx_copybreak from userspace. v2: Add new ethtool_cmd for DMA buffer parameters, instead of adding new members to existing ethtool_ringparam. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Marcel reported to see the following message when autoloading is being triggered when adding nlmon device: Loading kernel module for a network device with CAP_SYS_MODULE (deprecated). Use CAP_NET_ADMIN and alias netdev-nlmon instead. This false-positive happens despite with having correct capabilities set, e.g. through issuing `ip link del dev nlmon` more than once on a valid device with name nlmon, but Marcel has also seen it on creation time when no nlmon module is previously compiled-in or loaded as module and the device name equals a link type name (e.g. nlmon, vxlan, team). Stephen says: The netdev module alias is a hold over from the past. For normal devices, people used to create a alias eth0 to and point it to the type of network device used, that was back in the bad old ISA days before real discovery. Also, the tunnels create module alias for the control device and ip used to use this to autoload the tunnel device. The message is bogus and should just be removed, I also see it in a couple of other cases where tap devices are renamed for other usese. As mentioned in 8909c9ad ("net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules"), we nevertheless still might want to leave the old autoloading behaviour in place as it could break old scripts, so for now, lets just remove the log message as Stephen suggests.

With eBPF getting more extended and exposure to user space is on it's way, hardening the memory range the interpreter uses to steer its command flow seems appropriate. This patch moves the to be interpreted bytecode to read-only pages. In case we execute a corrupted BPF interpreter image for some reason e.g. caused by an attacker which got past a verifier stage, it would not only provide arbitrary read/write memory access but arbitrary function calls as well. After setting up the BPF interpreter image, its contents do not change until destruction time, thus we can setup the image on immutable made pages in order to mitigate modifications to that code. The idea is derived from commit 314beb9b ("x86: bpf_jit_comp: secure bpf jit against spraying attacks"). This is possible because bpf_prog is not part of sk_filter anymore. After setup bpf_prog cannot be altered during its life-time. This prevents any modifications to the entire bpf_prog structure (incl. function/JIT image pointer). Every eBPF program (including classic BPF that are migrated) have to call bpf_prog_select_runtime() to select either interpreter or a JIT image as a last setup step, and they all are being freed via bpf_prog_free(), including non-JIT. Therefore, we can easily integrate this into the eBPF life-time, plus since we directly allocate a bpf_prog, we have no performance penalty. Tested with seccomp and test_bpf testsuite in JIT/non-JIT mode and manual inspection of kernel_page_tables. Brad Spengler proposed the same idea via Twitter during development of this patch. Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.

When we bring the interface down, phy_stop() will schedule the PHY state machine to call our link adjustment callback. By the time we do so, we may have clock gated off the SYSTEMPORT hardware block, and this will cause bus errors to happen in bcm_sysport_adj_link(): Make sure that we only touch the UMAC_CMD register when there is an actual link. This is safe to do for two reasons: - updating the Ethernet MAC registers only make sense when a physical link is present - the PHY library state machine first set phydev->link = 0 before invoking phydev->adjust_link in the PHY_HALTED case This is a similar fix to the GENET one: c677ba8b ("net: bcmgenet: update UMAC_CMD only when link is detected").

As in IPv6 people might increase the igmp query robustness variable to make sure unsolicited state change reports aren't lost on the network. Add and document this new knob to igmp code. RFCs allow tuning this parameter back to first IGMP RFC, so we also use this setting for all counters, including source specific multicast. Also take over sysctl value when upping the interface and don't reuse the last one seen on the interface.

This patch adds a new sysctl_mld_qrv knob to configure the mldv1/v2 query robustness variable. It specifies how many retransmit of unsolicited mld retransmit should happen. Admins might want to tune this on lossy links. Also reset mld state on interface down/up, so we pick up new sysctl settings during interface up event. IPv6 certification requests this knob to be available. I didn't make this knob netns specific, as it is mostly a setting in a physical environment and should be per host.

It would appear the mlx4_en driver was still making a call to dev_kfree_skb_any() where dev_consume_skb_any() would be more appropriate.

Although rhashtable library allows user to specify a quiet big size for user's created hash table, the table may be shrunk to a very small size - HASH_MIN_SIZE(4) after object is removed from the table at the first time. Subsequently, even if the total amount of objects saved in the table is quite lower than user's initial setting in a long time, the hash table size is still dynamically adjusted by rhashtable_shrink() or rhashtable_expand() each time object is inserted or removed from the table. However, as synchronize_rcu() has to be called when table is shrunk or expanded by the two functions, we should permit user to set the minimum table size through configuring the minimum number of shifts according to user specific requirement, avoiding these expensive actions of shrinking or expanding because of calling synchronize_rcu().

In commit 50cbe9ab ("net: Validate xmit SKBs right when we pull them out of the qdisc") the validation code was moved out of dev_hard_start_xmit and into dequeue_skb. However this overlooked the fact that we do not always enqueue the skb onto a qdisc. First situation is if qdisc have flag TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS and qdisc is empty. Second situation is if there is no qdisc on the device, which is a common case for software devices. Originally spotted and inital patch by Alexander Duyck. As a result Alex was seeing issues trying to connect to a vhost_net interface after commit 50cbe9ab was applied. Added a call to validate_xmit_skb() in __dev_xmit_skb(), in the code path for qdiscs with TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS flag, and in __dev_queue_xmit() when no qdisc. Also handle the error situation where dev_hard_start_xmit() could return a skb list, and does not return dev_xmit_complete(rc) and falls through to the kfree_skb(), in that situation it should call kfree_skb_list().

More minor fixes to merge commit 53fda7f7 (Merge branch 'xmit_list') that allows us to work with a list of SKBs. Fixing exit cases in qdisc_reset() and qdisc_destroy(), where a leftover requeued SKB (qdisc->gso_skb) can have the potential of being a skb list, thus use kfree_skb_list().

Sathya Perla says: ==================== be2net: patch set v2 changes: add a new line after variable declaration in patch 12. *** Patch 1 adds a few new log messages to help debugging in failure cases. Patch 2 uses new macros for parsing RX/TX completions and TX wrbs to help shorten the lines. Patch 3 adds a description for the RX counter rx_input_fifo_overflow_drop. Patch 4 adds TX completion error statistics reporting via ethtool. Patch 5 adds a dma_mapping_error counter and its reporting via ethtool. Patch 6 fixes up log messages in the Lancer FW download path. Patch 7 replaces gotos with direct return statements. Patch 8 cleans up be_change_mtu() code by using a new macro BE_MAX_MTU Patch 9 makes be_cmd_get_regs() routine to return an integer status similar to other FW cmd routines in be_cmds.c Patch 10 gets rid of TX budget as enforcing a budget on TX completion processing in NAPI is neither suggested nor it provides a performance benefit. Patch 11 defines and uses a new macro for_all_tx_queues_on_eq() similar to the RX processing code. Patch 12 queries max_tx_qs from the FW for BE3 super-nic profiles. For those profiles, the driver cannot assume a constant BE3_MAX_TX_QS value, as the value may change for each function. Please consider applying this patch set to the net-next tree. Thanks! ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
