net: appletalk: cops: Fix data race in cops_probe1

2021-06-16T09:36:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit a4dd4fc6105e54393d637450a11d4cddb5fabc4f ]

In cops_probe1(), there is a write to dev->base_addr after requesting an
interrupt line and registering the interrupt handler cops_interrupt().
The handler might be called in parallel to handle an interrupt.
cops_interrupt() tries to read dev->base_addr leading to a potential
data race. So write to dev->base_addr before calling request_irq().

net/appletalk: fix minor pointer leak to userspace in SIOCFINDIPDDPRT

2018-09-29T10:07:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9824dfae5741275473a23a7ed5756c7b6efacc9d ]

Fields ->dev and ->next of struct ipddp_route may be copied to
userspace on the SIOCFINDIPDDPRT ioctl. This is only accessible
to CAP_NET_ADMIN though. Let's manually copy the relevant fields
instead of using memcpy().

net/appletalk: Fix kernel memory disclosure

2017-12-09T21:01:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit ce7e40c432ba84da104438f6799d460a4cad41bc ]

ipddp_route structs contain alignment padding so kernel heap memory
is leaked when they are copied to user space in
ipddp_ioctl(SIOCFINDIPDDPRT). Change kmalloc() to kzalloc() to clear
that memory.

treewide: replace dev->trans_start update with helper

2016-05-04T18:16:49+00:00

Replace all trans_start updates with netif_trans_update helper.
change was done via spatch:

struct net_device *d;

- d->trans_start = jiffies
+ netif_trans_update(d)

Compile tested only.

net/appletalk: LTPC needs virt_to_bus

2015-02-20T21:28:46+00:00

The ltpc driver is rather outdated and does not get built on most
platforms because it requires the ISA_DMA_API symbol. However
there are some ARM platforms that have ISA_DMA_API but no virt_to_bus,
and they get this build error when enabling the ltpc driver.

drivers/net/appletalk/ltpc.c: In function 'handlefc':
drivers/net/appletalk/ltpc.c:380:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'virt_to_bus' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  set_dma_addr(dma,virt_to_bus(ltdmacbuf));
  ^

This adds another dependency in Kconfig to avoid that configuration.

net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE support

2014-10-07T17:22:11+00:00

Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.

Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.

Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y

The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.

As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.

This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.

Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :

	dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
	netif_keep_dst(dev);

Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.

The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.

drivers: net: Remove casts to same type

2012-06-06T16:31:33+00:00

Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.

For example, this cast:

        int y;
        int *p = (int *)&y;

I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts.  I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user.

type T;
T *p;
@@

-       (T *)p
