net: fix a race in sock_queue_err_skb()

2012-04-06T09:07:21+00:00

As soon as an skb is queued into socket error queue, another thread
can consume it, so we are not allowed to reference skb anymore, or risk
use after free.

bpf jit: Make the filter.c::__load_pointer helper non-static for the jits

2012-04-03T22:01:03+00:00

The function is renamed to make it a little more clear what it does.
It is not added to any .h because it is not for general consumption, only for
bpf internal use (and so by the jits).

net: fix /proc/net/dev regression

2012-04-03T21:23:23+00:00

Commit f04565ddf52 (dev: use name hash for dev_seq_ops) added a second
regression, as some devices are missing from /proc/net/dev if many
devices are defined.

When seq_file buffer is filled, the last ->next/show() method is
canceled (pos value is reverted to value prior ->next() call)

Problem is after above commit, we dont restart the lookup at right
position in ->start() method.

Fix this by removing the internal 'pos' pointer added in commit, since
we need to use the 'loff_t *pos' provided by seq_file layer.

This also reverts commit 5cac98dd0 (net: Fix corruption
in /proc/*/net/dev_mcast), since its not needed anymore.

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system

2012-03-28T22:58:21+00:00

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
 "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
  separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
  dependencies.

  I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
  and made sure that they don't break.

  The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
  dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
  optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

  This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
  asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

  The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h.  It holds a number of
  low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
  memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
  aren't used in many places (eg.  switch_to()).

  These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

        Move memory barriers here.  This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

        Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

        Move arch_align_stack() here.  Other process execution related bits
        could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

        Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
        frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

        Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

        Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

  Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

net/core: dev_forward_skb() should clear skb_iif

2012-03-28T08:45:37+00:00

While investigating another bug, I found that the code on the incoming path
in __netif_receive_skb will only set skb->skb_iif if it is already 0.  When
dev_forward_skb() is used in the case of interfaces like veth, skb_iif may
already have been set.  Making dev_forward_skb() cause the packet to look
like a newly received packet would seem to the the correct behaviour here,
as otherwise the wrong incoming interface can be reported for such a packet.

net: add a truesize parameter to skb_add_rx_frag()

2012-03-25T17:29:58+00:00

skb_add_rx_frag() API is misleading.

Network skbs built with this helper can use uncharged kernel memory and
eventually stress/crash machine in OOM.

Add a 'truesize' parameter and then fix drivers in followup patches.

net: fix napi_reuse_skb() skb reserve

2012-03-21T20:52:09+00:00

napi->skb is allocated in napi_get_frags() using
netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align(), with a reserve of NET_SKB_PAD +
NET_IP_ALIGN bytes.

However, when such skb is recycled in napi_reuse_skb(), it ends with a
reserve of NET_IP_ALIGN which is suboptimal.

Pull kmap_atomic cleanup from Cong Wang.

It's been in -next for a long time, and it gets rid of the (no longer
used) second argument to k[un]map_atomic().

Fix up a few trivial conflicts in various drivers, and do an "evil
