bonding: Fix bonding crash

2016-09-29T09:14:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 24b27fc4cdf9e10c5e79e5923b6b7c2c5c95096c ]

Following few steps will crash kernel -

  (a) Create bonding master
      > modprobe bonding miimon=50
  (b) Create macvlan bridge on eth2
      > ip link add link eth2 dev mvl0 address aa:0:0:0:0:01 \
	   type macvlan
  (c) Now try adding eth2 into the bond
      > echo +eth2 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
      

Bonding does lots of things before checking if the device enslaved is
busy or not.

In this case when the notifier call-chain sends notifications, the
bond_netdev_event() assumes that the rx_handler /rx_handler_data is
registered while the bond_enslave() hasn't progressed far enough to
register rx_handler for the new slave.

This patch adds a rx_handler check that can be performed right at the
beginning of the enslave code to avoid getting into this situation.

vlan: more careful checksum features handling

2014-06-27T08:25:17+00:00

commit da08143b85203b581f4a6461b149186b0e9592df upstream.

When combining real_dev's features and vlan_features, simple
bitwise AND is used. This doesn't work well for checksum
offloading features as if one set has NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and the
other NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and/or NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM, we end up with
no checksum offloading. However, from the logical point of view
(how can_checksum_protocol() works), NETIF_F_HW_CSUM contains
the functionality of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM so
that the result should be IP/IPV6.

Add helper function netdev_intersect_features() implementing
this logic and use it in vlan_dev_fix_features().

net: core: introduce netif_skb_dev_features

commit d206940319c41df4299db75ed56142177bb2e5f6 upstream.

Will be used by upcoming ipv4 forward path change that needs to
determine feature mask using skb->dst->dev instead of skb->dev.

ipv4: fix tunneled VM traffic over hw VXLAN/GRE GSO NIC

2014-01-15T23:31:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7a7ffbabf99445704be01bff5d7e360da908cf8e ]

VM to VM GSO traffic is broken if it goes through VXLAN or GRE
tunnel and the physical NIC on the host supports hardware VXLAN/GRE
GSO offload (e.g. bnx2x and next-gen mlx4).

Two issues -
(VXLAN) VM traffic has SKB_GSO_DODGY and SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL with
SKB_GSO_TCP/UDP set depending on the inner protocol. GSO header
integrity check fails in udp4_ufo_fragment if inner protocol is
TCP. Also gso_segs is calculated incorrectly using skb->len that
includes tunnel header. Fix: robust check should only be applied
to the inner packet.

(VXLAN & GRE) Once GSO header integrity check passes, NULL segs
is returned and the original skb is sent to hardware. However the
tunnel header is already pulled. Fix: tunnel header needs to be
restored so that hardware can perform GSO properly on the original
packet.

vlan: Fix header ops passthru when doing TX VLAN offload.

2014-01-15T23:31:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2205369a314e12fcec4781cc73ac9c08fc2b47de ]

When the vlan code detects that the real device can do TX VLAN offloads
in hardware, it tries to arrange for the real device's header_ops to
be invoked directly.

But it does so illegally, by simply hooking the real device's
header_ops up to the VLAN device.

This doesn't work because we will end up invoking a set of header_ops
routines which expect a device type which matches the real device, but
will see a VLAN device instead.

Fix this by providing a pass-thru set of header_ops which will arrange
to pass the proper real device instead.

To facilitate this add a dev_rebuild_header().  There are
implementations which provide a ->cache and ->create but not a
->rebuild (f.e. PLIP).  So we need a helper function just like
dev_hard_header() to avoid crashes.

Use this helper in the one existing place where the
header_ops->rebuild was being invoked, the neighbour code.

With lots of help from Florian Westphal.

vxlan: Fix sparse warnings

2013-09-16T02:18:13+00:00

This patch fixes sparse warnings when incorrectly handling the port number
and using int instead of unsigned int iterating through &vn->sock_list[].
Keeping the port as __be16 also makes things clearer wrt endianess.
Also, it was pointed out that vxlan_get_rx_port() had unnecessary checks
which got removed.

net: add documentation for BQL helpers

2013-09-06T18:43:49+00:00

Provide a kernel-doc comment documentation for the BQL helpers:
- netdev_sent_queue
- netdev_completed_queue
- netdev_reset_queue

Similarly to how it is done for the other functions, the documentation
only covers the function operating on struct net_device and not struct
netdev_queue.

vxlan: Notify drivers for listening UDP port changes

2013-09-05T16:44:30+00:00

This patch adds two more ndo ops: ndo_add_rx_vxlan_port() and
ndo_del_rx_vxlan_port().

Drivers can get notifications through the above functions about changes
of the UDP listening port of VXLAN. Also, when physical ports come up,
now they can call vxlan_get_rx_port() in order to obtain the port number(s)
of the existing VXLAN interface in case they already up before them.

This information about the listening UDP port would be used for VXLAN
related offloads.

net: add netdev_for_each_upper_dev_rcu()

2013-08-29T20:19:42+00:00

The new macro netdev_for_each_upper_dev_rcu(dev, upper, iter) iterates
through the dev->upper_dev_list starting from the first element, using
the netdev_upper_get_next_dev_rcu(dev, &iter).

Must be called under RCU read lock.
