ipv6: fix possible seqlock deadlock in ip6_finish_output2

2013-11-30T17:48:13+00:00

IPv6 stats are 64 bits and thus are protected with a seqlock. By not
disabling bottom-half we could deadlock here if we don't disable bh and
a softirq reentrantly updates the same mib.

sit: use kfree_skb to replace dev_kfree_skb

2013-11-28T23:34:13+00:00

In failure case, we should use kfree_skb not
dev_kfree_skb to free skbuff, dev_kfree_skb
is defined as consume_skb.

Trace takes advantage of this point.

ipv6: fix leaking uninitialized port number of offender sockaddr

inet: fix addr_len/msg->msg_namelen assignment in recv_error and rxpmtu functions

2013-11-23T22:46:23+00:00

Commit bceaa90240b6019ed73b49965eac7d167610be69 ("inet: prevent leakage
of uninitialized memory to user in recv syscalls") conditionally updated
addr_len if the msg_name is written to. The recv_error and rxpmtu
functions relied on the recvmsg functions to set up addr_len before.

As this does not happen any more we have to pass addr_len to those
functions as well and set it to the size of the corresponding sockaddr
length.

This broke traceroute and such.

gro: Clean up tcpX_gro_receive checksum verification

2013-11-23T22:46:19+00:00

This patch simplifies the checksum verification in tcpX_gro_receive
by reusing the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE code for CHECKSUM_NONE.  All it
does for CHECKSUM_NONE is compute the partial checksum and then
treat it as if it came from the hardware (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE).

gro: Only verify TCP checksums for candidates

2013-11-23T22:46:19+00:00

In some cases we may receive IP packets that are longer than
their stated lengths.  Such packets are never merged in GRO.
However, we may end up computing their checksums incorrectly
and end up allowing packets with a bogus checksum enter our
stack with the checksum status set as verified.

Since such packets are rare and not performance-critical, this
patch simply skips the checksum verification for them.

2013-11-19T23:50:47+00:00

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "Mostly these are fixes for fallout due to merge window changes, as
  well as cures for problems that have been with us for a much longer
  period of time"

 1) Johannes Berg noticed two major deficiencies in our genetlink
    registration.  Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant
    counts for their ops array rather than something like
    ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar.  Also, some genetlink protocols were
    using fixed IDs for their multicast groups.

    We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools
    working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by
    other protocols can not possibly conflict.

    In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state
    management for genetlink operations and multicast groups.

 2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several
    drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value
    is one the driver actually supports.  From Ben Hutchings.

 3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar.

 4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb->protocol in the right order
    relative to skb_scrub_packet().  From Alexei Starovoitov.

 5) Bridge erroneously fails to use the proper wrapper functions to make
    calls to netdev_ops->ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid.  Fix from Toshiaki
    Makita.

 6) When detaching a bridge port, make sure to flush all VLAN IDs to
    prevent them from leaking, also from Toshiaki Makita.

 7) Put in a compromise for TCP Small Queues so that deep queued devices
    that delay TX reclaim non-trivially don't have such a performance
    decrease.  One particularly problematic area is 802.11 AMPDU in
    wireless.  From Eric Dumazet.

 8) Fix crashes in tcp_fastopen_cache_get(), we can see NULL socket dsts
    here.  Fix from Eric Dumzaet, reported by Dave Jones.

 9) Fix use after free in ipv6 SIT driver, from Willem de Bruijn.

10) When computing mergeable buffer sizes, virtio-net fails to take the
    virtio-net header into account.  From Michael Dalton.

11) Fix seqlock deadlock in ip4_datagram_connect() wrt.  statistic
    bumping, this one has been with us for a while.  From Eric Dumazet.

12) Fix NULL deref in the new TIPC fragmentation handling, from Erik
    Hugne.

13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka
    Rissanen.

14) macvlan has the same issue as normal vlans did wrt.  propagating LRO
    disabling down to the real device, fix it the same way.  From Michal
    Kubecek.

15) CPSW driver needs to soft reset all slaves during suspend, from
    Daniel Mack.

16) Fix small frame pacing in FQ packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet.

17) The xen-netfront RX buffer refill timer isn't properly scheduled on
    partial RX allocation success, from Ma JieYue.

18) When ipv6 ping protocol support was added, the AF_INET6 protocol
    initialization cleanup path on failure was borked a little.  Fix
    from Vlad Yasevich.

19) If a socket disconnects during a read/recvmsg/recvfrom/etc that
    blocks we can do the wrong thing with the msg_name we write back to
    userspace.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.  There is another fix in the
    works from Hannes which will prevent future problems of this nature.

20) Fix route leak in VTI tunnel transmit, from Fan Du.
