[ Upstream commit 3b89ea9c5902acccdbbdec307c85edd1bf52515e ]

The features attribute is of type u64 and stored in the native endianes on
the system. The for_each_set_bit() macro takes a pointer to a 32 bit array
and goes over the bits in this area. On little Endian systems this also
works with an u64 as the most significant bit is on the highest address,
but on big endian the words are swapped. When we expect bit 15 here we get
bit 47 (15 + 32).

This patch converts it more or less to its own for_each_set_bit()
implementation which works on 64 bit integers directly. This is then
completely in host endianness and should work like expected.

Assign a default net namespace to netdevs created by init_dummy_netdev().
Fixes a NULL pointer dereference caused by busy-polling a socket bound to
an iwlwifi wireless device, which bumps the per-net BUSYPOLLRXPACKETS stat
if napi_poll() received packets:

<title>net: fix XPS static_key accounting</title>

[ Upstream commit 867d0ad476db89a1e8af3f297af402399a54eea5 ]

Commit 04157469b7b8 ("net: Use static_key for XPS maps") introduced a
static key for XPS, but the increments/decrements don't match.

First, the static key's counter is incremented once for each queue, but
only decremented once for a whole batch of queues, leading to large
unbalances.

Second, the xps_rxqs_needed key is decremented whenever we reset a batch
of queues, whether they had any rxqs mapping or not, so that if we setup
cpu-XPS on em1 and RXQS-XPS on em2, resetting the queues on em1 would
decrement the xps_rxqs_needed key.

This reworks the accounting scheme so that the xps_needed key is
incremented only once for each type of XPS for all the queues on a
device, and the xps_rxqs_needed key is incremented only once for all
queues. This is sufficient to let us retrieve queues via
get_xps_queue().

This patch introduces a new reset_xps_maps(), which reinitializes and
frees the appropriate map (xps_rxqs_map or xps_cpus_map), and drops a
reference to the needed keys:
 - both xps_needed and xps_rxqs_needed, in case of rxqs maps,
 - only xps_needed, in case of CPU maps.

Now, we also need to call reset_xps_maps() at the end of
__netif_set_xps_queue() when there's no active map left, for example
when writing '00000000,00000000' to all queues' xps_rxqs setting.

Before commit 80d19669ecd3 ("net: Refactor XPS for CPUs and Rx queues"),
netif_reset_xps_queues() did netdev_queue_numa_node_write() for all the
queues being reset. Now, this is only done when the "active" variable in
clean_xps_maps() is false, ie when on all the CPUs, there's no active
XPS mapping left.

[ Upstream commit 605108acfe6233b72e2f803aa1cb59a2af3001ca ]

Eric noted that with UDP GRO and NAPI timeout, we could keep a single
UDP packet inside the GRO hash forever, if the related NAPI instance
calls napi_gro_complete() at an higher frequency than the NAPI timeout.
Willem noted that even TCP packets could be trapped there, till the
next retransmission.
This patch tries to address the issue, flushing the old packets -
those with a NAPI_GRO_CB age before the current jiffy - before scheduling
the NAPI timeout. The rationale is that such a timeout should be
well below a jiffy and we are not flushing packets eligible for sane GRO.

v1  -&gt; v2:
 - clarified the commit message and comment

RFC -&gt; v1:
 - added 'Fixes tags', cleaned-up the wording.

[ Upstream commit 33d9a2c72f086cbf1087b2fd2d1a15aa9df14a7f ]

eth_type_trans() assumes initial value for skb-&gt;pkt_type
is PACKET_HOST.

This is indeed the value right after a fresh skb allocation.

However, it is possible that GRO merged a packet with a different
value (like PACKET_OTHERHOST in case macvlan is used), so
we need to make sure napi-&gt;skb will have pkt_type set back to
PACKET_HOST.

Otherwise, valid packets might be dropped by the stack because
their pkt_type is not PACKET_HOST.

napi_reuse_skb() was added in commit 96e93eab2033 ("gro: Add
internal interfaces for VLAN"), but this bug always has
been there.

<title>net: ipv4: update fnhe_pmtu when first hop's MTU changes</title>
<updated>2018-10-11T05:44:46+00:00</updated>

<id>af7d6cce53694a88d6a1bb60c9a239a6a5144459</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 5aad1de5ea2c ("ipv4: use separate genid for next hop
exceptions"), exceptions get deprecated separately from cached
routes. In particular, administrative changes don't clear PMTU anymore.

As Stefano described in commit e9fa1495d738 ("ipv6: Reflect MTU changes
on PMTU of exceptions for MTU-less routes"), the PMTU discovered before
the local MTU change can become stale:
 - if the local MTU is now lower than the PMTU, that PMTU is now
   incorrect
 - if the local MTU was the lowest value in the path, and is increased,
   we might discover a higher PMTU

Similarly to what commit e9fa1495d738 did for IPv6, update PMTU in those
cases.

If the exception was locked, the discovered PMTU was smaller than the
minimal accepted PMTU. In that case, if the new local MTU is smaller
than the current PMTU, let PMTU discovery figure out if locking of the
exception is still needed.

To do this, we need to know the old link MTU in the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU
notifier. By the time the notifier is called, dev-&gt;mtu has been
changed. This patch adds the old MTU as additional information in the
notifier structure, and a new call_netdevice_notifiers_u32() function.
