[ Upstream commit 9fb030a70431a2a2a1b292dbf0b2f399cc072c16 ]

This patch sets skb-&gt;protocol before transmitting frames on the HDLC
device, so that a user listening on the HDLC device with an AF_PACKET
socket will see outgoing frames' sll_protocol field correctly set and
consistent with that of incoming frames.

1. Control frames in hdlc_cisco and hdlc_ppp

When these drivers send control frames, skb-&gt;protocol is not set.

This value should be set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC), because when receiving
control frames, their skb-&gt;protocol is set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC).

When receiving, hdlc_type_trans in hdlc.h is called, which then calls
cisco_type_trans or ppp_type_trans. The skb-&gt;protocol of control frames
is set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC) so that the control frames can be received
by hdlc_rcv in hdlc.c, which calls cisco_rx or ppp_rx to process the
control frames.

2. hdlc_fr

When this driver sends control frames, skb-&gt;protocol is set to internal
values used in this driver.

When this driver sends data frames (from upper stacked PVC devices),
skb-&gt;protocol is the same as that of the user data packet being sent on
the upper PVC device (for normal PVC devices), or is htons(ETH_P_802_3)
(for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices).

However, skb-&gt;protocol for both control frames and data frames should be
set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC), because when receiving, all frames received on
the HDLC device will have their skb-&gt;protocol set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC).

When receiving, hdlc_type_trans in hdlc.h is called, and because this
driver doesn't provide a type_trans function in struct hdlc_proto,
all frames will have their skb-&gt;protocol set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC).
The frames are then received by hdlc_rcv in hdlc.c, which calls fr_rx
to process the frames (control frames are consumed and data frames
are re-received on upper PVC devices).

[ Upstream commit 83f9a9c8c1edc222846dc1bde6e3479703e8e5a3 ]

This driver is a virtual driver stacked on top of Ethernet interfaces.

When this driver transmits data on the Ethernet device, the skb-&gt;protocol
setting is inconsistent with the Ethernet header prepended to the skb.

This causes a user listening on the Ethernet interface with an AF_PACKET
socket, to see different sll_protocol values for incoming and outgoing
frames, because incoming frames would have this value set by parsing the
Ethernet header.

This patch changes the skb-&gt;protocol value for outgoing Ethernet frames,
making it consistent with the Ethernet header prepended. This makes a
user listening on the Ethernet device with an AF_PACKET socket, to see
the same sll_protocol value for incoming and outgoing frames.

[ Upstream commit 44a049c42681de71c783d75cd6e56b4e339488b0 ]

PVC devices are virtual devices in this driver stacked on top of the
actual HDLC device. They are the devices normal users would use.
PVC devices have two types: normal PVC devices and Ethernet-emulating
PVC devices.

When transmitting data with PVC devices, the ndo_start_xmit function
will prepend a header of 4 or 10 bytes. Currently this driver requests
this headroom to be reserved for normal PVC devices by setting their
hard_header_len to 10. However, this does not work when these devices
are used with AF_PACKET/RAW sockets. Also, this driver does not request
this headroom for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices (but deals with this
problem by reallocating the skb when needed, which is not optimal).

This patch replaces hard_header_len with needed_headroom, and set
needed_headroom for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices, too. This makes
the driver to request headroom for all PVC devices in all cases.

[ Upstream commit 66d42ed8b25b64eb63111a2b8582c5afc8bf1105 ]

There are a couple bugs here:
1) If opt[1] is zero then this results in a forever loop.  If the value
   is less than 2 then it is invalid.
2) It assumes that "len" is more than sizeof(valid_accm) or 6 which can
   result in memory corruption.

In the case of LCP_OPTION_ACCM, then  we should check "opt[1]" instead
of "len" because, if "opt[1]" is less than sizeof(valid_accm) then
"nak_len" gets out of sync and it can lead to memory corruption in the
next iterations through the loop.  In case of LCP_OPTION_MAGIC, the
only valid value for opt[1] is 6, but the code is trying to log invalid
data so we should only discard the data when "len" is less than 6
because that leads to a read overflow.

[ 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.

build.

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

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>

[ 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.
