John W. Linville says: ==================== Please pull this batch of fixes intended for the 3.14 stream! For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This is just a collection of small fixes, the commit logs explain the details. The only thing that isn't strictly a fix is the 5/10 MHz enabling, I had forgotten this and there's little point in waiting longer. The patch simply removes the force-disable code that I put in when there was a problem with the userspace API (that has long been fixed.)" For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "I have an important fix that disables A band in case the driver thought it was enabled, and the firmware disagreed. We ended up making the firmware unhappy. I also fix the station table in AP mode and fix the scan while we have BT working. Johannes removes a static variable that could potentially lead to to issues on multi-device setups and disables scheduled scan to avoid issues with old versions of wpa_supplicant. A small fix from David on scan and a few new device IDs for 7265." On top of that... Oleksij Rempel adds a USB ID to the ar5523 driver and changes the default powersave setting for ath9k_htc to "off", due to observed stability issues (based on an equivalent ath9k patch). Stanislaw Gruszka similarly disables powersave for a couple of rt2x00 drivers. He also fixes a couple of scheduling while atomic issues in ath9k_htc. Sujith Manoharan rounds-out the powersave disables with one for ath9k. He also fixes a build prolem with ath9k on ARM and fixes an ath9k Tx power calculation. Finally, Andrea Merello fixes a couple of lingering DMA mapping problems in the rtl8180 driver. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Fix access to uninitialized data for end interval elements. The element data part is uninitialized in interval end elements. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
-
Pablo Neira Ayuso authored
This patch fixes several things which related to the handling of end interval elements: * Chain use underflow with intervals and map: If you add a rule using intervals+map that introduces a loop, the error path of the rbtree set decrements the chain refcount for each side of the interval, leading to a chain use counter underflow. * Don't copy the data part of the end interval element since, this area is uninitialized and this confuses the loop detection code. * Don't allocate room for the data part of end interval elements since this is unused. So, after this patch the idea is that end interval elements don't have a data part. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Acked-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

TCP pacing depends on an accurate srtt estimation. Current srtt estimation is using jiffie resolution, and has an artificial offset of at least 1 ms, which can produce slowdowns when FQ/pacing is used, especially in DC world, where typical rtt is below 1 ms. We are planning a switch to usec resolution for linux-3.15, but in the meantime, this patch removes the 1 ms offset. All we need is to have tp->srtt minimal value of 1 to differentiate the case of srtt being initialized or not, not 8. The problematic behavior was observed on a 40Gbit testbed, where 32 concurrent netperf were reaching 12Gbps of aggregate speed, instead of line speed. This patch also has the effect of reporting more accurate srtt and send rates to iproute2 ss command as in : $ ss -i dst cca2 Netid State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port tcp ESTAB 0 0 10.244.129.1:56984 10.244.129.2:12865 cubic wscale:6,6 rto:200 rtt:0.25/0.25 ato:40 mss:1448 cwnd:10 send 463.4Mbps rcv_rtt:1 rcv_space:29200 tcp ESTAB 0 390960 10.244.129.1:60247 10.244.129.2:50204 cubic wscale:6,6 rto:200 rtt:0.875/0.75 mss:1448 cwnd:73 ssthresh:51 send 966.4Mbps unacked:73 retrans:0/121 rcv_space:29200 Reported-by: Vytautas Valancius <valas@google.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

sock_alloc_send_pskb() & sk_page_frag_refill() have a loop trying high order allocations to prepare skb with low number of fragments as this increases performance. Problem is that under memory pressure/fragmentation, this can trigger OOM while the intent was only to try the high order allocations, then fallback to order-0 allocations. We had various reports from unexpected regressions. According to David, setting __GFP_NORETRY should be fine, as the asynchronous compaction is still enabled, and this will prevent OOM from kicking as in : CFSClientEventm invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x42d0, order=3, oom_adj=0, oom_score_adj=0, oom_score_badness=2 (enabled),memcg_scoring=disabled CFSClientEventm Call Trace: [<ffffffff8043766c>] dump_header+0xe1/0x23e [<ffffffff80437a02>] oom_kill_process+0x6a/0x323 [<ffffffff80438443>] out_of_memory+0x4b3/0x50d [<ffffffff8043a4a6>] __alloc_pages_may_oom+0xa2/0xc7 [<ffffffff80236f42>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1002/0x17f0 [<ffffffff8024bd23>] alloc_pages_current+0x103/0x2b0 [<ffffffff8028567f>] sk_page_frag_refill+0x8f/0x160 [<ffffffff80295fa0>] tcp_sendmsg+0x560/0xee0 [<ffffffff802a5037>] inet_sendmsg+0x67/0x100 [<ffffffff80283c9c>] __sock_sendmsg_nosec+0x6c/0x90 [<ffffffff80283e85>] sock_sendmsg+0xc5/0xf0 [<ffffffff802847b6>] __sys_sendmsg+0x136/0x430 [<ffffffff80284ec8>] sys_sendmsg+0x88/0x110 [<ffffffff80711472>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Out of Memory: Kill process 2856 (bash) score 9999 or sacrifice child Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.

Currently, to make netconsole start over IPv6, the source address needs to be specified. Without a source address, netpoll_parse_options assumes we're setting up over IPv4 and the destination IPv6 address is rejected.

commit efe4208f: 'ipv6: make lookups simpler and faster' broke initialization of local source address on accepted ipv6 sockets. Before the mentioned commit receive address was copied along with the contents of ipv6_pinfo in sctp_v6_create_accept_sk. Now when it is moved, it has to be copied separately.

bnx2x driver uses incorrect PF identifier to configure (in HW) the VF interrupt scheme; As a result, in multi-function mode the configuration for PFs with a high index (4+) will overflow and the PF will erroneously configure a single ISR scheme for its VFs. As a result, if such a VF uses multiple queues, interrupt generation will stop after VF receives an Rx packet or sends a Tx packet on a queue other than queue[0].

Quoting David Vrabel - "5780 cards cannot have jumbo frames and TSO enabled together. When jumbo frames are enabled by setting the MTU, the TSO feature must be cleared. This is done indirectly by calling netdev_update_features() which will call tg3_fix_features() to actually clear the flags. netdev_update_features() will also trigger a new netlink message for the feature change event which will result in a call to tg3_get_stats64() which deadlocks on the tg3 lock." tg3_set_mtu() does not need to be under the tg3 lock since converting the flags to use set_bit(). Move it out to after tg3_netif_stop().

In the original code, if tg3_readphy() fails then it does an unnecessary check to verify "err" is still zero and then returns -EBUSY. My static checker complains about the unnecessary "if (!err)" check and anyway it is better to propagate the -EBUSY error code from tg3_readphy() instead of hard coding it here.

In original code the old RX DMA buffer is unmapped and processed and at the end of the isr a new buffer is mapped with pci_map_single and attached to the RX descriptor. If pci_map_single fails then the RX descriptor remains with no valid DMA buffer attached. In this condition the DMA will target where it shouldn't with obvious evil consequences. Simply avoiding re-arming the descriptor will prevent buggy DMA but it will result soon in RX stuck. This patch move the DMA mapping of the new buffer at the beginning of the ISR (and it adds error check for pci_map_single success/fail). If the DMA mapping fails then we do not unmap the old buffer and we re-arm the descriptor without processing it, with the old DMA buffer still attached. In this way we lose the currently RX-ed packet, but whenever next calls to pci_map_single will succeed again,then the RX process will go on without stuck.

We may lost race if we flush the rule-set (which happens asynchronously via call_rcu) and we try to remove the table (that userspace assumes to be empty). Fix this by recovering synchronous rule and chain deletion. This was introduced time ago before we had no batch support, and synchronous rule deletion performance was not good. Now that we have the batch support, we can just postpone the purge of old rule in a second step in the commit phase. All object deletions are synchronous after this patch. As a side effect, we save memory as we don't need rcu_head per rule anymore.

The "new" fragmentation code (since my rewrite almost 5 years ago) erroneously sets skb->len rather than using skb_trim() to adjust the length of the first fragment after copying out all the others. This leaves the skb tail pointer pointing to after where the data originally ended, and thus causes the encryption MIC to be written at that point, rather than where it belongs: immediately after the data. The impact of this is that if software encryption is done, then a) encryption doesn't work for the first fragment, the connection becomes unusable as the first fragment will never be properly verified at the receiver, the MIC is practically guaranteed to be wrong b) we leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext (!) of the packet out into the air This is only mitigated by the fact that many devices are capable of doing encryption in hardware, in which case this can't happen as the tail pointer is irrelevant in that case. Additionally, fragmentation is not used very frequently and would normally have to be configured manually. Fix this by using skb_trim() properly.

Currently, when a station leaves an IBSS network, the corresponding BSS is not dropped from cfg80211 if there are other active stations in the network. But, the small window that is present when trying to determine a station's status based on IEEE80211_IBSS_MERGE_INTERVAL introduces a race. Instead of trying to keep the BSS, always remove it when leaving an IBSS network. There is not much benefit to retain the BSS entry since it will be added with a subsequent join operation. This fixes an issue where a dangling BSS entry causes ath9k to wait for a beacon indefinitely.
