commit e9300a4b7bbae83af1f7703938c94cf6dc6d308f upstream.

RFC 2734 defines the datagram_size field in fragment encapsulation
headers thus:

    datagram_size:  The encoded size of the entire IP datagram.  The
    value of datagram_size [...] SHALL be one less than the value of
    Total Length in the datagram's IP header (see STD 5, RFC 791).

Accordingly, the eth1394 driver of Linux 2.6.36 and older set and got
this field with a -/+1 offset:

    ether1394_tx() /* transmit */
        ether1394_encapsulate_prep()
            hdr-&gt;ff.dg_size = dg_size - 1;

    ether1394_data_handler() /* receive */
        if (hdr-&gt;common.lf == ETH1394_HDR_LF_FF)
            dg_size = hdr-&gt;ff.dg_size + 1;
        else
            dg_size = hdr-&gt;sf.dg_size + 1;

Likewise, I observe OS X 10.4 and Windows XP Pro SP3 to transmit 1500
byte sized datagrams in fragments with datagram_size=1499 if link
fragmentation is required.

Only firewire-net sets and gets datagram_size without this offset.  The
result is lacking interoperability of firewire-net with OS X, Windows
XP, and presumably Linux' eth1394.  (I did not test with the latter.)
For example, FTP data transfers to a Linux firewire-net box with max_rec
smaller than the 1500 bytes MTU
  - from OS X fail entirely,
  - from Win XP start out with a bunch of fragmented datagrams which
    time out, then continue with unfragmented datagrams because Win XP
    temporarily reduces the MTU to 576 bytes.

So let's fix firewire-net's datagram_size accessors.

Note that firewire-net thereby loses interoperability with unpatched
firewire-net, but only if link fragmentation is employed.  (This happens
with large broadcast datagrams, and with large datagrams on several
FireWire CardBus cards with smaller max_rec than equivalent PCI cards,
and it can be worked around by setting a small enough MTU.)

    ether1394_data_handler() /* receive */
        if (hdr-&gt;common.lf == ETH1394_HDR_LF_FF)
            dg_size = hdr-&gt;ff.dg_size + 1;
        else
            dg_size = hdr-&gt;sf.dg_size + 1;

commit 667121ace9dbafb368618dbabcf07901c962ddac upstream.

The IP-over-1394 driver firewire-net lacked input validation when
handling incoming fragmented datagrams.  A maliciously formed fragment
with a respectively large datagram_offset would cause a memcpy past the
datagram buffer.

So, drop any packets carrying a fragment with offset + length larger
than datagram_size.

In addition, ensure that
  - GASP header, unfragmented encapsulation header, or fragment
    encapsulation header actually exists before we access it,
  - the encapsulated datagram or fragment is of nonzero size.

Commit 8408dc1c14c1 "firewire: net: use dev_printk API" introduced a
use-after-free in a failure path.  fwnet_transmit_packet_failed(ptask)
may free ptask, then the dev_err() call dereferenced it.  The fix is
straightforward; simply reorder the two calls.

<title>firewire: introduce fw_driver.probe and .remove methods</title>

<id>94a87157cde95d38b9cdf1116e4f0fd93f6d25df</id>
<content type='text'>
FireWire upper layer drivers are converted from generic
    struct driver.probe() and .remove()
to bus-specific
    struct fw_driver.probe() and .remove().

The new .probe() adds a const struct ieee1394_device_id *id argument,
indicating the entry in the driver's device identifiers table which
matched the fw_unit to be probed.  This new argument is used by the
snd-firewire-speakers driver to look up device-specific parameters and
methods.  There is at least one other FireWire audio driver currently in
development in which this will be useful too.

The new .remove() drops the unused error return code.

Although all in-tree drivers are being converted to the new methods,
support for the old methods is left in place in this commit.  This
allows public developer trees to merge this commit and then move to the
new fw_driver methods.

Add a new constant ETH_P_802_3_MIN, the minimum ethernet type for
an 802.3 frame. Frames with a lower value in the ethernet type field
are Ethernet II.

Also update all the users of this value that David Miller and
I could find to use the new constant.

Also correct a bug in util.c. The comparison with ETH_P_802_3_MIN
should be &gt;= not &gt;.

As suggested by Jesse Gross.

Compile tested only.

Inspection of upper layer protocol is considered harmful, especially
if it is about ARP or other stateful upper layer protocol; driver
cannot (and should not) have full state of them.

IPv4 over Firewire module used to inspect ARP (both in sending path
and in receiving path), and record peer's GUID, max packet size, max
speed and fifo address.  This patch removes such inspection by extending
our "hardware address" definition to include other information as well:
max packet size, max speed and fifo.  By doing this, The neighbour
module in networking subsystem can cache them.

Note: As we have started ignoring sspd and max_rec in ARP/NDP, those
      information will not be used in the driver when sending.

When a packet is being sent, the IP layer fills our pseudo header with
the extended "hardware address", including GUID and fifo.  The driver
can look-up node-id (the real but rather volatile low-level address)
by GUID, and then the module can send the packet to the wire using
parameters provided in the extendedn hardware address.

This approach is realistic because IP over IEEE1394 (RFC2734) and IPv6
over IEEE1394 (RFC3146) share same "hardware address" format
in their address resolution protocols.

Here, extended "hardware address" is defined as follows:

union fwnet_hwaddr {
	u8 u[16];
	struct {
		__be64 uniq_id;		/* EUI-64			*/
		u8 max_rec;		/* max packet size		*/
		u8 sspd;		/* max speed			*/
		__be16 fifo_hi;		/* hi 16bits of FIFO addr	*/
		__be32 fifo_lo;		/* lo 32bits of FIFO addr	*/
	} __packed uc;
};

Note that Hardware address is declared as union, so that we can map full
IP address into this, when implementing MCAP (Multicast Cannel Allocation
Protocol) for IPv6, but IP and ARP subsystem do not need to know this
format in detail.

One difference between original ARP (RFC826) and 1394 ARP (RFC2734)
is that 1394 ARP Request/Reply do not contain the target hardware address
field (aka ar$tha).  This difference is handled in the ARP subsystem.
