rtnl: simplify error return path in rtnl_create_link()

2017-02-21T17:17:43+00:00

There is only one possible error path which reaches the err label, so
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) directly if alloc_netdev_mqs() fails. This also
allows to omit the err variable.

rtnl: don't account unused struct ifla_port_vsi in rtnl_port_size

2017-02-17T19:56:11+00:00

When allocating rtnl dump messages, struct ifla_port_vsi is never dumped,
so we can save header plus payload in rtnl_port_size(). Infact, attribute
IFLA_PORT_VSI_TYPE and struct ifla_port_vsi are not used anywhere in
the kernel. We only need to keep the nla policy should applications in
user space be filling this out. Same NLA_BINARY issue exists as was fixed
in 364d5716a7ad ("rtnetlink: ifla_vf_policy: fix misuses of NLA_BINARY")
and others, but then again IFLA_PORT_VSI_TYPE is not used anywhere, so
just add a comment that it's unused.

rtnetlink: Handle IFLA_MASTER parameter when processing rtnl_newlink

2017-02-01T16:53:23+00:00

Allow a master interface to be specified as one of the parameters when
creating a new interface via rtnl_newlink.  Previously this would
require invoking interface creation, waiting for it to complete, and
then separately binding that new interface to a master.

In particular, this is used when creating a macvlan child interface for
VRRP in a VRF configuration, allowing the interface creator to specify
directly what master interface should be inherited by the child,
without having to deal with asynchronous complications and potential
race conditions.

device: Implement a bus agnostic dev_num_vf routine

2017-01-20T16:43:17+00:00

Now that pci_bus_type has num_vf callback set, dev_num_vf can be
implemented in a bus type independent way and the check for whether a
PCI device is being handled in rtnetlink can be dropped.

net: AF-specific RTM_GETSTATS attributes

2017-01-17T19:38:43+00:00

Add the functionality for including address-family-specific per-link
stats in RTM_GETSTATS messages. This is done through adding a new
IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC attribute under which address family attributes are
nested and then the AF-specific attributes can be further nested. This
follows the model of IFLA_AF_SPEC on RTM_*LINK messages and it has the
advantage of presenting an easily extended hierarchy. The rtnl_af_ops
structure is extended to provide AFs with the opportunity to fill and
provide the size of their stats attributes.

One alternative would have been to provide AFs with the ability to add
attributes directly into the RTM_GETSTATS message without a nested
hierarchy. I discounted this approach as it increases the rate at
which the 32 attribute number space is used up and it makes
implementation a little more tricky for stats dump resuming (at the
moment the order in which attributes are added to the message has to
match the numeric order of the attributes).

Another alternative would have been to register per-AF RTM_GETSTATS
handlers. I discounted this approach as I perceived a common use-case
to be getting all the stats for an interface and this approach would
necessitate multiple requests/dumps to retrieve them all.

rtnl: stats - add missing netlink message size checks

2016-12-29T19:05:15+00:00

We miss to check if the netlink message is actually big enough to contain
a struct if_stats_msg.

Add a check to prevent userland from sending us short messages that would
make us access memory beyond the end of the message.

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2016-12-03T17:29:53+00:00

Couple conflicts resolved here:

1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the
   RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes
   to support variable sized rings.

2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --> "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix
   overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support
   ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip.

3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the
   stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up
   and reorganized in 'net-next'.

4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in
   'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with
   Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction
   in 'net'.  It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard
   the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against
   tc_skip_sw().

5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some
   unrelated changes in 'net-next'.

6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head()
   bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of
   the same code in 'net-next'.  Since the 'net-next' code no
   longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do
   other than to simply take the 'net-next' hunks.
