2014-03-31ethtool: Introduce a method for getting time stamping capabilities.Richard Cochran
This commit adds a new ethtool ioctl that exposes the SO_TIMESTAMPING capabilities of a network interface. In addition, user space programs can use this ioctl to discover the PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) device associated with the interface. Since software receive time stamps are handled by the stack, the generic ethtool code can answer the query correctly in case the MAC or PHY drivers lack special time stamping features.

2014-03-31ethtool: Centralise validation of ETHTOOL_{G, S}RXFHINDIR parametersBen Hutchings
Add a new ethtool operation (get_rxfh_indir_size) to get the indirectional table size. Use this to validate the user buffer size before calling get_rxfh_indir or set_rxfh_indir. Use get_rxnfc to get the number of RX rings, and validate the contents of the new indirection table before calling set_rxfh_indir. Remove this validation from drivers.

2012-02-09ah: Don't return NET_XMIT_DROP on input.Nick Bowler
commit 4b90a603a1b21d63cf743cc833680cb195a729f6 upstream. When the ahash driver returns -EBUSY, AH4/6 input functions return NET_XMIT_DROP, presumably copied from the output code path. But returning transmit codes on input doesn't make a lot of sense. Since NET_XMIT_DROP is a positive int, this gets interpreted as the next header type (i.e., success).

2012-02-08tcp: fix tcp_trim_head() to adjust segment count with skb MSSNeal Cardwell
[ Upstream commit 5b35e1e6e9ca651e6b291c96d1106043c9af314a ] This commit fixes tcp_trim_head() to recalculate the number of segments in the skb with the skb's existing MSS, so trimming the head causes the skb segment count to be monotonically non-increasing - it should stay the same or go down, but not increase. Previously tcp_trim_head() used the current MSS of the connection. But if there was a decrease in MSS between original transmission and ACK (e.g. due to PMTUD), this could cause tcp_trim_head() to counter-intuitively increase the segment count when trimming bytes off the head of an skb. This violated assumptions in tcp_tso_acked() that tcp_trim_head() only decreases the packet count, so that packets_acked in tcp_tso_acked() could underflow, leading tcp_clean_rtx_queue() to pass u32 pkts_acked values as large as 0xffffffff to ca_ops->pkts_acked(). As an aside, if tcp_trim_head() had really wanted the skb to reflect the current MSS, it should have called tcp_set_skb_tso_segs() unconditionally, since a decrease in MSS would mean that a single-packet skb should now be sliced into multiple segments.

[ Upstream commit efc3dbc37412c027e363736b4f4c74ee5e8ecffc ] rds_sock_info() triggers locking warnings because we try to perform a local_bh_enable() (via sock_i_ino()) while hardware interrupts are disabled (via taking rds_sock_lock). There is no reason for rds_sock_lock to be a hardware IRQ disabling lock, none of these access paths run in hardware interrupt context.

2012-02-08l2tp: l2tp_ip - fix possible oops on packet receiveJames Chapman
[ Upstream commit 68315801dbf3ab2001679fd2074c9dc5dcf87dfa ] When a packet is received on an L2TP IP socket (L2TPv3 IP link encapsulation), the l2tpip socket's backlog_rcv function calls xfrm4_policy_check(). This is not necessary, since it was called before the skb was added to the backlog. With CONFIG_NET_NS enabled, xfrm4_policy_check() will oops if skb->dev is null, so this trivial patch removes the call. This bug has always been present, but only when CONFIG_NET_NS is enabled does it cause problems. Most users are probably using UDP encapsulation for L2TP, hence the problem has only recently surfaced.

2012-02-08net caif: Register properly as a pernet subsystem.Eric W. Biederman
[ Upstream commit 8a8ee9aff6c3077dd9c2c7a77478e8ed362b96c6 ] caif is a subsystem and as such it needs to register with register_pernet_subsys instead of register_pernet_device. Among other problems using register_pernet_device was resulting in net_generic being called before the caif_net structure was allocated. Which has been causing net_generic to fail with either BUG_ON's or by return NULL pointers. A more ugly problem that could be caused is packets in flight why the subsystem is shutting down. To remove confusion also remove the cruft cause by inappropriately trying to fix this bug. With the aid of the previous patch I have tested this patch and confirmed that using register_pernet_subsys makes the failure go away as it should. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2012-01-11sctp: Do not account for sizeof(struct sk_buff) in estimated rwndThomas Graf
[ Upstream commit a76c0adf60f6ca5ff3481992e4ea0383776b24d2 ] When checking whether a DATA chunk fits into the estimated rwnd a full sizeof(struct sk_buff) is added to the needed chunk size. This quickly exhausts the available rwnd space and leads to packets being sent which are much below the PMTU limit. This can lead to much worse performance. The reason for this behaviour was to avoid putting too much memory pressure on the receiver. The concept is not completely irational because a Linux receiver does in fact clone an skb for each DATA chunk delivered. However, Linux also reserves half the available socket buffer space for data structures therefore usage of it is already accounted for. When proposing to change this the last time it was noted that this behaviour was introduced to solve a performance issue caused by rwnd overusage in combination with small DATA chunks. Trying to reproduce this I found that with the sk_buff overhead removed, the performance would improve significantly unless socket buffer limits are increased. The following numbers have been gathered using a patched iperf supporting SCTP over a live 1 Gbit ethernet network. The -l option was used to limit DATA chunk sizes. The numbers listed are based on the average of 3 test runs each. Default values have been used for sk_(r|w)mem.

2012-01-11sctp: fix incorrect overflow check on autocloseXi Wang
[ Upstream commit 2692ba61a82203404abd7dd2a027bda962861f74 ] Commit 8ffd3208 voids the previous patches f6778aab and 810c0719 for limiting the autoclose value. If userspace passes in -1 on 32-bit platform, the overflow check didn't work and autoclose would be set to 0xffffffff. This patch defines a max_autoclose (in seconds) for limiting the value and exposes it through sysctl, with the following intentions. 1) Avoid overflowing autoclose * HZ. 2) Keep the default autoclose bound consistent across 32- and 64-bit platforms (INT_MAX / HZ in this patch). 3) Keep the autoclose value consistent between setsockopt() and getsockopt() calls.

2012-01-11mac80211: fix another race in aggregation startJohannes Berg
commit 15062e6a8524f5977f2cbdf6e3eb2f144262f74e upstream. Emmanuel noticed that when mac80211 stops the queues for aggregation that can leave a packet pending. This packet will be given to the driver after the AMPDU callback, but as a non-aggregated packet which messes up the sequence number etc. I also noticed by looking at the code that if packets are being processed while we clear the WANT_START bit, they might see it cleared already and queue up on tid_tx->pending. If the driver then rejects the new aggregation session we leak the packet. Fix both of these issues by changing this code to not stop the queues at all. Instead, let packets queue up on the tid_tx->pending queue instead of letting them get to the driver, and add code to recover properly in case the driver rejects the session. (The patch looks large because it has to move two functions to before their new use.)

[ Upstream commit bb3c36863e8001fc21a88bebfdead4da4c23e848 ] After commit 8e2ec639173f325977818c45011ee176ef2b11f6 ("ipv6: don't use inetpeer to store metrics for routes.") the test in rt6_alloc_cow() for setting the ANYCAST flag is now wrong. 'rt' will always now have a plen of 128, because it is set explicitly to 128 by ip6_rt_copy. So to restore the semantics of the test, check the destination prefix length of 'ort'.

[ Upstream commit c0ed1c14a72ca9ebacd51fb94a8aca488b0d361e ] flow_cach_flush() might sleep but can be called from atomic context via the xfrm garbage collector. So add a flow_cache_flush_deferred() function and use this if the xfrm garbage colector is invoked from within the packet path.

2012-01-06sctp: Do not account for sizeof(struct sk_buff) in estimated rwndThomas Graf
[ Upstream commit a76c0adf60f6ca5ff3481992e4ea0383776b24d2 ] When checking whether a DATA chunk fits into the estimated rwnd a full sizeof(struct sk_buff) is added to the needed chunk size. This quickly exhausts the available rwnd space and leads to packets being sent which are much below the PMTU limit. This can lead to much worse performance. The reason for this behaviour was to avoid putting too much memory pressure on the receiver. The concept is not completely irational because a Linux receiver does in fact clone an skb for each DATA chunk delivered. However, Linux also reserves half the available socket buffer space for data structures therefore usage of it is already accounted for. When proposing to change this the last time it was noted that this behaviour was introduced to solve a performance issue caused by rwnd overusage in combination with small DATA chunks. Trying to reproduce this I found that with the sk_buff overhead removed, the performance would improve significantly unless socket buffer limits are increased. The following numbers have been gathered using a patched iperf supporting SCTP over a live 1 Gbit ethernet network. The -l option was used to limit DATA chunk sizes. The numbers listed are based on the average of 3 test runs each. Default values have been used for sk_(r|w)mem.

2012-01-06sctp: fix incorrect overflow check on autocloseXi Wang
[ Upstream commit 2692ba61a82203404abd7dd2a027bda962861f74 ] Commit 8ffd3208 voids the previous patches f6778aab and 810c0719 for limiting the autoclose value. If userspace passes in -1 on 32-bit platform, the overflow check didn't work and autoclose would be set to 0xffffffff. This patch defines a max_autoclose (in seconds) for limiting the value and exposes it through sysctl, with the following intentions. 1) Avoid overflowing autoclose * HZ. 2) Keep the default autoclose bound consistent across 32- and 64-bit platforms (INT_MAX / HZ in this patch). 3) Keep the autoclose value consistent between setsockopt() and getsockopt() calls.

Before waiting (predefined value 120s), check that at least one device was successfully brought up. Otherwise (e.g. buggy bootloader which does not set the MAC address) there is no point in waiting for carrier.

2012-01-06mac80211: fix another race in aggregation startJohannes Berg
commit 15062e6a8524f5977f2cbdf6e3eb2f144262f74e upstream. Emmanuel noticed that when mac80211 stops the queues for aggregation that can leave a packet pending. This packet will be given to the driver after the AMPDU callback, but as a non-aggregated packet which messes up the sequence number etc. I also noticed by looking at the code that if packets are being processed while we clear the WANT_START bit, they might see it cleared already and queue up on tid_tx->pending. If the driver then rejects the new aggregation session we leak the packet. Fix both of these issues by changing this code to not stop the queues at all. Instead, let packets queue up on the tid_tx->pending queue instead of letting them get to the driver, and add code to recover properly in case the driver rejects the session. (The patch looks large because it has to move two functions to before their new use.)
