[ Upstream commit 1a545ebe380bf4c1433e3c136e35a77764fda5ad ]

This driver didn't set hard_header_len. This patch sets hard_header_len
for it according to its header_ops-&gt;create function.

This driver's header_ops-&gt;create function (cisco_hard_header) creates
a header of (struct hdlc_header), so hard_header_len should be set to
sizeof(struct hdlc_header).

<title>drivers/net/wan/lapbether: Set network_header before transmitting</title>

[ Upstream commit 91244d108441013b7367b3b4dcc6869998676473 ]

Set the skb's network_header before it is passed to the underlying
Ethernet device for transmission.

This patch fixes the following issue:

When we use this driver with AF_PACKET sockets, there would be error
messages of:
   protocol 0805 is buggy, dev (Ethernet interface name)
printed in the system "dmesg" log.

This is because skbs passed down to the Ethernet device for transmission
don't have their network_header properly set, and the dev_queue_xmit_nit
function in net/core/dev.c complains about this.

Reason of setting the network_header to this place (at the end of the
Ethernet header, and at the beginning of the Ethernet payload):

Because when this driver receives an skb from the Ethernet device, the
network_header is also set at this place.

commit 734f3719d3438f9cc181d674c33ca9762e9148a1 upstream.

The firmware source, wanxlfw.S, is currently compiled by the combo of
$(CPP) and $(M68KAS). This is not what we usually do for compiling *.S
files. In fact, this Makefile is the only user of $(AS) in the kernel
build.

Instead of combining $(CPP) and (AS) from different tool sets, using
$(M68KCC) as an assembler driver is simpler, and saner.

<title>net: wan: wanxl: use allow to pass CROSS_COMPILE_M68k for rebuilding firmware</title>

commit 63b903dfebdea92aa92ad337d8451a6fbfeabf9d upstream.

As far as I understood from the Kconfig help text, this build rule is
used to rebuild the driver firmware, which runs on an old m68k-based
chip. So, you need m68k tools for the firmware rebuild.

wanxl.c is a PCI driver, but CONFIG_M68K does not select CONFIG_HAVE_PCI.
So, you cannot enable CONFIG_WANXL_BUILD_FIRMWARE for ARCH=m68k. In other
words, ifeq ($(ARCH),m68k) is false here.

I am keeping the dead code for now, but rebuilding the firmware requires
'as68k' and 'ld68k', which I do not have in hand.

Instead, the kernel.org m68k GCC [1] successfully built it.

Allowing a user to pass in CROSS_COMPILE_M68K= is handier.

<title>drivers/net/wan/lapbether: Added needed_headroom and a skb-&gt;len check</title>

<id>f6c5d9f3361af1e28cd1337e8b94c8e0adee05dc</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit c7ca03c216acb14466a713fedf1b9f2c24994ef2 ]

1. Added a skb-&gt;len check

This driver expects upper layers to include a pseudo header of 1 byte
when passing down a skb for transmission. This driver will read this
1-byte header. This patch added a skb-&gt;len check before reading the
header to make sure the header exists.

2. Changed to use needed_headroom instead of hard_header_len to request
necessary headroom to be allocated

In net/packet/af_packet.c, the function packet_snd first reserves a
headroom of length (dev-&gt;hard_header_len + dev-&gt;needed_headroom).
Then if the socket is a SOCK_DGRAM socket, it calls dev_hard_header,
which calls dev-&gt;header_ops-&gt;create, to create the link layer header.
If the socket is a SOCK_RAW socket, it "un-reserves" a headroom of
length (dev-&gt;hard_header_len), and assumes the user to provide the
appropriate link layer header.

So according to the logic of af_packet.c, dev-&gt;hard_header_len should
be the length of the header that would be created by
dev-&gt;header_ops-&gt;create.

However, this driver doesn't provide dev-&gt;header_ops, so logically
dev-&gt;hard_header_len should be 0.

So we should use dev-&gt;needed_headroom instead of dev-&gt;hard_header_len
to request necessary headroom to be allocated.

This change fixes kernel panic when this driver is used with AF_PACKET
SOCK_RAW sockets.

<title>drivers/net/wan: lapb: Corrected the usage of skb_cow</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 8754e1379e7089516a449821f88e1fe1ebbae5e1 ]

This patch fixed 2 issues with the usage of skb_cow in LAPB drivers
"lapbether" and "hdlc_x25":

1) After skb_cow fails, kfree_skb should be called to drop a reference
to the skb. But in both drivers, kfree_skb is not called.

2) skb_cow should be called before skb_push so that is can ensure the
safety of skb_push. But in "lapbether", it is incorrectly called after
skb_push.

More details about these 2 issues:

1) The behavior of calling kfree_skb on failure is also the behavior of
netif_rx, which is called by this function with "return netif_rx(skb);".
So this function should follow this behavior, too.

2) In "lapbether", skb_cow is called after skb_push. This results in 2
logical issues:
   a) skb_push is not protected by skb_cow;
   b) An extra headroom of 1 byte is ensured after skb_push. This extra
      headroom has no use in this function. It also has no use in the
      upper-layer function that this function passes the skb to
      (x25_lapb_receive_frame in net/x25/x25_dev.c).
So logically skb_cow should instead be called before skb_push.

[ Upstream commit 8754e1379e7089516a449821f88e1fe1ebbae5e1 ]

This patch fixed 2 issues with the usage of skb_cow in LAPB drivers
"lapbether" and "hdlc_x25":

1) After skb_cow fails, kfree_skb should be called to drop a reference
to the skb. But in both drivers, kfree_skb is not called.

2) skb_cow should be called before skb_push so that is can ensure the
safety of skb_push. But in "lapbether", it is incorrectly called after
skb_push.

More details about these 2 issues:

1) The behavior of calling kfree_skb on failure is also the behavior of
netif_rx, which is called by this function with "return netif_rx(skb);".
So this function should follow this behavior, too.

2) In "lapbether", skb_cow is called after skb_push. This results in 2
logical issues:
   a) skb_push is not protected by skb_cow;
   b) An extra headroom of 1 byte is ensured after skb_push. This extra
      headroom has no use in this function. It also has no use in the
      upper-layer function that this function passes the skb to
      (x25_lapb_receive_frame in net/x25/x25_dev.c).
So logically skb_cow should instead be called before skb_push.

[ Upstream commit 8fdcabeac39824fe67480fd9508d80161c541854 ]

This driver is not working because of problems of its receiving code.
This patch fixes it to make it work.

When the driver receives an LAPB frame, it should first pass the frame
to the LAPB module to process. After processing, the LAPB module passes
the data (the packet) back to the driver, the driver should then add a
one-byte pseudo header and pass the data to upper layers.

The changes to the "x25_asy_bump" function and the
"x25_asy_data_indication" function are to correctly implement this
procedure.

Also, the "x25_asy_unesc" function ignores any frame that is shorter
than 3 bytes. However the shortest frames are 2-byte long. So we need
to change it to allow 2-byte frames to pass.

[ Upstream commit 9dc829a135fb5927f1519de11286e2bbb79f5b66 ]

When this driver transmits data,
  first this driver will remove a pseudo header of 1 byte,
  then the lapb module will prepend the LAPB header of 2 or 3 bytes,
  then this driver will prepend a length field of 2 bytes,
  then the underlying Ethernet device will prepend its own header.

So, the header length required should be:
  -1 + 3 + 2 + "the header length needed by the underlying device".

This patch fixes kernel panic when this driver is used with AF_PACKET
SOCK_DGRAM sockets.
