net: prevent sign extension in dev_get_stats()

2017-09-15T17:30:56+00:00

commit 6f64ec74515925cced6df4571638b5a099a49aae upstream.

Similar to the fix provided by Dominik Heidler in commit
9b3dc0a17d73 ("l2tp: cast l2tp traffic counter to unsigned")
we need to take care of 32bit kernels in dev_get_stats().

When using atomic_long_read(), we add a 'long' to u64 and
might misinterpret high order bit, unless we cast to unsigned.

net: mangle zero checksum in skb_checksum_help()

2017-03-16T02:18:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4f2e4ad56a65f3b7d64c258e373cb71e8d2499f4 ]

Sending zero checksum is ok for TCP, but not for UDP.

UDPv6 receiver should by default drop a frame with a 0 checksum,
and UDPv4 would not verify the checksum and might accept a corrupted
packet.

Simply replace such checksum by 0xffff, regardless of transport.

This error was caught on SIT tunnels, but seems generic.

gro: use min_t() in skb_gro_reset_offset()

2017-03-16T02:18:43+00:00

commit 7cfd5fd5a9813f1430290d20c0fead9b4582a307 upstream.

On 32bit arches, (skb->end - skb->data) is not 'unsigned int',
so we shall use min_t() instead of min() to avoid a compiler error.

gro: Enter slow-path if there is no tailroom

2017-03-16T02:18:42+00:00

commit 1272ce87fa017ca4cf32920764d879656b7a005a upstream.

The GRO path has a fast-path where we avoid calling pskb_may_pull
and pskb_expand by directly accessing frag0.  However, this should
only be done if we have enough tailroom in the skb as otherwise
we'll have to expand it later anyway.

This patch adds the check by capping frag0_len with the skb tailroom.

net/core: revert "net: fix __netdev_update_features return.." and add comment

2016-01-22T21:40:09+00:00

commit 17b85d29e82cc3c874a497a8bc5764d6a2b043e2 upstream.

This reverts commit 00ee59271777 ("net: fix __netdev_update_features return
on ndo_set_features failure")
and adds a comment explaining why it's okay to return a value other than
0 upon error. Some drivers might actually change flags and return an
error so it's better to fire a spurious notification rather than miss
these.

net: fix __netdev_update_features return on ndo_set_features failure

commit 00ee5927177792a6e139d50b6b7564d35705556a upstream.

If ndo_set_features fails __netdev_update_features() will return -1 but
this is wrong because it is expected to return 0 if no features were
changed (see netdev_update_features()), which will cause a netdev
notifier to be called without any actual changes. Fix this by returning
0 if ndo_set_features fails.

net: call rcu_read_lock early in process_backlog

2015-08-12T14:33:21+00:00

commit 2c17d27c36dcce2b6bf689f41a46b9e909877c21 upstream.

Incoming packet should be either in backlog queue or
in RCU read-side section. Otherwise, the final sequence of
flush_backlog() and synchronize_net() may miss packets
that can run without device reference:

CPU 1                  CPU 2
                       skb->dev: no reference
                       process_backlog:__skb_dequeue
                       process_backlog:local_irq_enable

on_each_cpu for
flush_backlog =>       IPI(hardirq): flush_backlog
                       - packet not found in backlog

                       CPU delayed ...
synchronize_net
- no ongoing RCU
read-side sections

net: do not process device backlog during unregistration

2015-08-12T14:33:20+00:00

commit e9e4dd3267d0c5234c5c0f47440456b10875dec9 upstream.

commit 381c759d9916 ("ipv4: Avoid crashing in ip_error")
fixes a problem where processed packet comes from device
with destroyed inetdev (dev->ip_ptr). This is not expected
because inetdev_destroy is called in NETDEV_UNREGISTER
phase and packets should not be processed after
dev_close_many() and synchronize_net(). Above fix is still
required because inetdev_destroy can be called for other
reasons. But it shows the real problem: backlog can keep
packets for long time and they do not hold reference to
device. Such packets are then delivered to upper levels
at the same time when device is unregistered.
Calling flush_backlog after NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL still
accounts all packets from backlog but before that some packets
continue to be delivered to upper levels long after the
synchronize_net call which is supposed to wait the last
ones. Also, as Eric pointed out, processed packets, mostly
from other devices, can continue to add new packets to backlog.

Fix the problem by moving flush_backlog early, after the
device driver is stopped and before the synchronize_net() call.
Then use netif_running check to make sure we do not add more
packets to backlog. We have to do it in enqueue_to_backlog
context when the local IRQ is disabled. As result, after the
flush_backlog and synchronize_net sequence all packets
should be accounted.

Thanks to Eric W. Biederman for the test script and his
valuable feedback!

net: rps: fix cpu unplug

2015-05-09T22:16:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit ac64da0b83d82abe62f78b3d0e21cca31aea24fa ]

softnet_data.input_pkt_queue is protected by a spinlock that
we must hold when transferring packets from victim queue to an active
one. This is because other cpus could still be trying to enqueue packets
into victim queue.

A second problem is that when we transfert the NAPI poll_list from
victim to current cpu, we absolutely need to special case the percpu
backlog, because we do not want to add complex locking to protect
process_queue : Only owner cpu is allowed to manipulate it, unless cpu
is offline.

Based on initial patch from Prasad Sodagudi & Subash Abhinov
Kasiviswanathan.

This version is better because we do not slow down packet processing,
only make migration safer.
