netpoll: Fix device name check in netpoll_setup()

2017-07-27T00:01:43+00:00

Apparently netpoll_setup() assumes that netpoll.dev_name is a pointer
when checking if the device name is set:

if (np->dev_name) {
  ...

However the field is a character array, therefore the condition always
yields true. Check instead whether the first byte of the array has a
non-zero value.

netpoll: shut up a kernel warning on refcount

2017-07-14T15:16:59+00:00

When we convert atomic_t to refcount_t, a new kernel warning
on "increment on 0" is introduced in the netpoll code,
zap_completion_queue(). In fact for this special case, we know
the refcount is 0 and we just have to set it to 1 to satisfy
the following dev_kfree_skb_any(), so we can just use
refcount_set(..., 1) instead.

net: convert netpoll_info.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-07-01T14:39:08+00:00

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

networking: make skb_push & __skb_push return void pointers

2017-06-16T15:48:40+00:00

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,
and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not.

Make these functions return void * and remove all the casts across
the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer
was used directly, all done with the following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    typedef u8;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    @@
    - *(fn(SKB, LEN))
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression E, SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    type T;
    @@
    - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN)))
    + E = fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@

    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    @@
    - fn(SKB, LEN)[0]
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

Note that the last part there converts from push(...)[0] to the
more idiomatic *(u8 *)push(...).

netpoll: Check for skb->queue_mapping

2017-04-21T19:45:19+00:00

Reducing real_num_tx_queues needs to be in sync with skb queue_mapping
otherwise skbs with queue_mapping greater than real_num_tx_queues
can be sent to the underlying driver and can result in kernel panic.

One such event is running netconsole and enabling VF on the same
device. Or running netconsole and changing number of tx queues via
ethtool on same device.

e.g.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->context = 0000000000001525

netpoll: more efficient locking

2016-11-16T23:32:02+00:00

Callers of netpoll_poll_lock() own NAPI_STATE_SCHED

Callers of netpoll_poll_unlock() have BH blocked between
the NAPI_STATE_SCHED being cleared and poll_lock is released.

We can avoid the spinlock which has no contention, and use cmpxchg()
on poll_owner which we need to set anyway.

This removes a possible lockdep violation after the cited commit,
since sk_busy_loop() re-enables BH before calling busy_poll_stop()

This reverts commit 543e3a8da5a4c453e992d5351ef405d5e32f27d7.

Direct callers of __netpoll_setup() depend on it to set np->dev,

netpoll: Fix extra refcount release in netpoll_cleanup()

2016-03-25T15:23:14+00:00

netpoll_setup() does a dev_hold() on np->dev, the netpoll device.  If it
fails, it correctly does a dev_put() but leaves np->dev set.  If we call
netpoll_cleanup() after the failure, np->dev is still set so we do another
dev_put(), which decrements the refcount an extra time.

It's questionable to call netpoll_cleanup() after netpoll_setup() fails,
but it can be difficult to find the problem, and we can easily avoid it in
this case.  The extra decrements can lead to hangs like this:

  unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0 to become free. Usage count = -3

Set and clear np->dev at the points where we dev_hold() and dev_put() the
device.
