macvlan: fix leak in macvlan_handle_frame

2015-12-30T02:25:56+00:00

macvlan: Initialize vlan_features to turn on offload support.

2014-09-13T22:41:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 081e83a78db9b0ae1f5eabc2dedecc865f509b98 ]

Macvlan devices do not initialize vlan_features.  As a result,
any vlan devices configured on top of macvlans perform very poorly.
Initialize vlan_features based on the vlan features of the lower-level
device.

macvlan: Don't propagate IFF_ALLMULTI changes on down interfaces.

2014-06-09T12:28:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit bbeb0eadcf9fe74fb2b9b1a6fea82cd538b1e556 ]

Clearing the IFF_ALLMULTI flag on a down interface could cause an allmulti
overflow on the underlying interface.

Attempting the set IFF_ALLMULTI on the underlying interface would cause an
error and the log message:

"allmulti touches root, set allmulti failed."

Revert "macvlan : fix checksums error when we are in bridge mode"

2014-06-09T12:28:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit f114890cdf84d753f6b41cd0cc44ba51d16313da ]

This reverts commit 12a2856b604476c27d85a5f9a57ae1661fc46019.
The commit above doesn't appear to be necessary any more as the
checksums appear to be correctly computed/validated.

Additionally the above commit breaks kvm configurations where
one VM is using a device that support checksum offload (virtio) and
the other VM does not.
In this case, packets leaving virtio device will have CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
set.  The packets is forwarded to a macvtap that has offload features
turned off.  Since we use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, the host does does not
update the checksum and thus a bad checksum is passed up to
the guest.

macvlan: fix passthru mode race between dev removal and rx path

2013-05-30T13:35:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 233c7df0821c4190e2d3f4be0f2ca0ab40a5ed8c, note
  that I had to add list_first_or_null_rcu to rculist.h in order
  to accomodate this fix. ]

Currently, if macvlan in passthru mode is created and data are rxed and
you remove this device, following panic happens:

NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000198
IP: [] macvlan_handle_frame+0x153/0x1f7 [macvlan]

I'm using following script to trigger this:


I run this script while "ping -f" is running on another machine to send
packets to e1 rx.

Reason of the panic is that list_first_entry() is blindly called in
macvlan_handle_frame() even if the list was empty. vlan is set to
incorrect pointer which leads to the crash.

I'm fixing this by protecting port->vlans list by rcu and by preventing
from getting incorrect pointer in case the list is empty.

macvlan: Set IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag to prevent unnecessary promisc mode.

[ Upstream commit 87ab7f6f2874f1115817e394a7ed2dea1c72549e ]

Macvlan already supports hw address filters.  Set the IFF_UNICAST_FLT
so that it doesn't needlesly enter PROMISC mode when macvlans are
stacked.

Revert "net: maintain namespace isolation between vlan and real device"

2012-06-10T13:42:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit 59b9997baba5242997ddc7bd96b1391f5275a5a4 ]

This reverts commit 8a83a00b0735190384a348156837918271034144.

It causes regressions for S390 devices, because it does an
unconditional DST drop on SKBs for vlans and the QETH device
needs the neighbour entry hung off the DST for certain things
on transmit.

Arnd can't remember exactly why he even needed this change.

macvlan: fix a possible use after free

[ Upstream commit 4ec7ac1203bcf21f5e3d977c9818b1a56c9ef40d ]

Commit bc416d9768 (macvlan: handle fragmented multicast frames) added a
possible use after free in macvlan_handle_frame(), since
ip_check_defrag() uses pskb_may_pull() : skb header can be reallocated.

macvlan: receive multicast with local address

2011-11-04T21:39:32+00:00

When implementing VRRP v2 using macvlan several problems were
discovered.  VRRP is weird in that all routers participating
in a redundant group use the same virtual MAC address.
Macvlan is a natural driver to use for this but it doesn't
work.  The problem is that packets with a macvlan device's
source address are not received.

The problem is actually a regression that date back almost 2 years now.
The original problems started with:

commit 618e1b7482f7a8a4c6c6e8ccbe140e4c331df4e9
Author: Arnd Bergmann

macvlan: handle fragmented multicast frames

2011-10-19T03:22:07+00:00

Fragmented multicast frames are delivered to a single macvlan port,
because ip defrag logic considers other samples are redundant.

Implement a defrag step before trying to send the multicast frame.
