rtnetlink: Mask the rta_type when range checking

2013-03-17T15:43:40+00:00

Range/validity checks on rta_type in rtnetlink_rcv_msg() do
not account for flags that may be set.  This causes the function
to return -EINVAL when flags are set on the type (for example
NLA_F_NESTED).

net/core: move vlan_depth out of while loop in skb_network_protocol()

2013-03-12T15:47:40+00:00

[ Bug added added in commit 05e8ef4ab2d8087d (net: factor out
  skb_mac_gso_segment() from skb_gso_segment() ) ]

move vlan_depth out of while loop, or else vlan_depth always is ETH_HLEN,
can not be increased, and lead to infinite loop when frame has two vlan headers.

rtnl: fix info leak on RTM_GETLINK request for VF devices

2013-03-10T09:19:26+00:00

Initialize the mac address buffer with 0 as the driver specific function
will probably not fill the whole buffer. In fact, all in-kernel drivers
fill only ETH_ALEN of the MAX_ADDR_LEN bytes, i.e. 6 of the 32 possible
bytes. Therefore we currently leak 26 bytes of stack memory to userland
via the netlink interface.

bridging: fix rx_handlers return code

2013-03-08T17:19:59+00:00

The frames for which rx_handlers return RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED are no longer
counted as dropped. They are counted as successfully received by
'netif_receive_skb'.

This allows network interface drivers to correctly update their RX-OK and
RX-DRP counters based on the result of 'netif_receive_skb'.

net: reduce net_rx_action() latency to 2 HZ

2013-03-06T07:47:06+00:00

We should use time_after_eq() to get maximum latency of two ticks,
instead of three.

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators

2013-02-28T03:10:24+00:00

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

2013-02-27T04:16:07+00:00

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
 "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
  locking violations, etc.

  The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
  "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
  to inode.  Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

  Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
  several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

net/core: apply pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio on network devices

2013-02-24T01:50:16+00:00

Deadlock might be caused by allocating memory with GFP_KERNEL in
runtime_resume and runtime_suspend callback of network devices in iSCSI
situation, so mark network devices and its ancestor as 'memalloc_noio'
with the introduced pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio().
