net: sky2: Fix shutdown crash

2016-12-13T15:57:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 06ba3b2133dc203e1e9bc36cee7f0839b79a9e8b ]

The sky2 frequently crashes during machine shutdown with:

sky2_get_stats+0x60/0x3d8 [sky2]
dev_get_stats+0x68/0xd8
rtnl_fill_stats+0x54/0x140
rtnl_fill_ifinfo+0x46c/0xc68
rtmsg_ifinfo_build_skb+0x7c/0xf0
rtmsg_ifinfo.part.22+0x3c/0x70
rtmsg_ifinfo+0x50/0x5c
netdev_state_change+0x4c/0x58
linkwatch_do_dev+0x50/0x88
__linkwatch_run_queue+0x104/0x1a4
linkwatch_event+0x30/0x3c
process_one_work+0x140/0x3e0
worker_thread+0x60/0x44c
kthread+0xdc/0xf0
ret_from_fork+0x10/0x50

This is caused by the sky2 being called after it has been shutdown.
A previous thread about this can be found here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/12/410

An alternative fix is to assure that IFF_UP gets cleared by
calling dev_close() during shutdown. This is similar to what the
bnx2/tg3/xgene and maybe others are doing to assure that the driver
isn't being called following _shutdown().

mwifiex: printk() overflow with 32-byte SSIDs

2016-12-12T14:25:47+00:00

commit fcd2042e8d36cf644bd2d69c26378d17158b17df upstream.

SSIDs aren't guaranteed to be 0-terminated. Let's cap the max length
when we print them out.

This can be easily noticed by connecting to a network with a 32-octet
SSID:

Revert "drivers/net: Disable UFO through virtio"

2016-12-01T09:02:44+00:00

commit e3e3c423f82a415195a7bbbfa619bfa7b20d2db6 upstream.

This reverts commit 3d0ad09412ffe00c9afa201d01effdb6023d09b4.

Now that GSO functionality can correctly track if the fragment
id has been selected and select a fragment id if necessary,
we can re-enable UFO on tap/macvap and virtio devices.

drivers/net: Disable UFO through virtio

2016-11-28T21:22:48+00:00

commit 3d0ad09412ffe00c9afa201d01effdb6023d09b4 upstream.

IPv6 does not allow fragmentation by routers, so there is no
fragmentation ID in the fixed header.  UFO for IPv6 requires the ID to
be passed separately, but there is no provision for this in the virtio
net protocol.

Until recently our software implementation of UFO/IPv6 generated a new
ID, but this was a bug.  Now we will use ID=0 for any UFO/IPv6 packet
passed through a tap, which is even worse.

Unfortunately there is no distinction between UFO/IPv4 and v6
features, so disable UFO on taps and virtio_net completely until we
have a proper solution.

We cannot depend on VM managers respecting the tap feature flags, so
keep accepting UFO packets but log a warning the first time we do
this.

smc91x: avoid self-comparison warning

2016-11-24T15:23:35+00:00

commit e3ebd894f084255fde19116955ba7054858ff5d6 upstream.

The smc91x driver defines a macro that compares its argument to
itself, apparently to get a true result while using its argument
to avoid a warning about unused local variables.

Unfortunately, this triggers a warning with gcc-6, as the comparison
is obviously useless:

drivers/net/ethernet/smsc/smc91x.c: In function 'smc_hardware_send_pkt':
drivers/net/ethernet/smsc/smc91x.c:563:14: error: self-comparison always evaluates to true [-Werror=tautological-compare]
  if (!smc_special_trylock(&lp->lock, flags)) {

This replaces the macro with another one that behaves similarly,
with a cast to (void) to ensure the argument is used, and using
a literal 'true' as its value.

net/mlx4_core: Allow resetting VF admin mac to zero

2016-11-08T15:38:18+00:00

commit 6e5224224faa50ec4c8949dcefadf895e565f0d1 upstream.

The VF administrative mac addresses (stored in the PF driver) are
initialized to zero when the PF driver starts up.

These addresses may be modified in the PF driver through ndo calls
initiated by iproute2 or libvirt.

While we allow the PF/host to change the VF admin mac address from zero
to a valid unicast mac, we do not allow restoring the VF admin mac to
zero. We currently only allow changing this mac to a different unicast mac.

This leads to problems when libvirt scripts are used to deal with
VF mac addresses, and libvirt attempts to revoke the mac so this
host will not use it anymore.

Fix this by allowing resetting a VF administrative MAC back to zero.

i40e: avoid NULL pointer dereference and recursive errors on early PCI error

2016-10-25T16:11:18+00:00

commit edfc23ee3e0ebbb6713d7574ab1b00abff178f6c upstream.

Although rare, it's possible to hit PCI error early on device
probe, meaning possibly some structs are not entirely initialized,
and some might even be completely uninitialized, leading to NULL
pointer dereference.

The i40e driver currently presents a "bad" behavior if device hits
such early PCI error: firstly, the struct i40e_pf might not be
attached to pci_dev yet, leading to a NULL pointer dereference on
access to pf->state.

Even checking if the struct is NULL and avoiding the access in that
case isn't enough, since the driver cannot recover from PCI error
that early; in our experiments we saw multiple failures on kernel
log, like:

  [549.664] i40e 0007:01:00.1: Initial pf_reset failed: -15
  [549.664] i40e: probe of 0007:01:00.1 failed with error -15
  [...]
  [871.644] i40e 0007:01:00.1: The driver for the device stopped because the
  device firmware failed to init. Try updating your NVM image.
  [871.644] i40e: probe of 0007:01:00.1 failed with error -32
  [...]
  [872.516] i40e 0007:01:00.0: ARQ: Unknown event 0x0000 ignored

Between the first probe failure (error -15) and the second (error -32)
another PCI error happened due to the first bad probe. Also, driver
started to flood console with those ARQ event messages.

This patch will prevent these issues by allowing error recovery
mechanism to remove the failed device from the system instead of
trying to recover from early PCI errors during device probe.

brcmfmac: avoid potential stack overflow in brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap()

2016-10-20T08:49:57+00:00

commit ded89912156b1a47d940a0c954c43afbabd0c42c upstream.

User-space can choose to omit NL80211_ATTR_SSID and only provide raw
IE TLV data. When doing so it can provide SSID IE with length exceeding
the allowed size. The driver further processes this IE copying it
into a local variable without checking the length. Hence stack can be
corrupted and used as exploit.

brcmsmac: Initialize power in brcms_c_stf_ss_algo_channel_get()

commit f823a2aa8f4674c095a5413b9e3ba12d82df06f2 upstream.

wlc_phy_txpower_get_current() does a logical OR of power->flags, which
presumes that power.flags was initiliazed earlier by the caller,
unfortunately, this is not the case, so make sure we zero out the struct
tx_power before calling into wlc_phy_txpower_get_current().
