cdc_ncm: do not call usbnet_link_change from cdc_ncm_bind

2016-08-16T07:30:48+00:00

commit 4d06dd537f95683aba3651098ae288b7cbff8274 upstream. usbnet_link_change will call schedule_work and should be avoided if bind is failing. Otherwise we will end up with scheduled work referring to a netdev which has gone away. Instead of making the call conditional, we can just defer it to usbnet_probe, using the driver_info flag made for this purpose.

cdc_ncm: workaround for EM7455 "silent" data interface

2016-07-27T16:47:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit c086e7096170390594c425114d98172bc9aceb8a ] Several Lenovo users have reported problems with their Sierra Wireless EM7455 modem. The driver has loaded successfully and the MBIM management channel has appeared to work, including establishing a connection to the mobile network. But no frames have been received over the data interface. The problem affects all EM7455 and MC7455, and is assumed to affect other modems based on the same Qualcomm chipset and baseband firmware. Testing narrowed the problem down to what seems to be a firmware timing bug during initialization. Adding a short sleep while probing is sufficient to make the problem disappear. Experiments have shown that 1-2 ms is too little to have any effect, while 10-20 ms is enough to reliably succeed.

cdc_ncm: toggle altsetting to force reset before setup

2016-04-20T06:41:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit 48906f62c96cc2cd35753e59310cb70eb08cc6a5 ] Some devices will silently fail setup unless they are reset first. This is necessary even if the data interface is already in altsetting 0, which it will be when the device is probed for the first time. Briefly toggling the altsetting forces a function reset regardless of the initial state. This fixes a setup problem observed on a number of Huawei devices, appearing to operate in NTB-32 mode even if we explicitly set them to NTB-16 mode. Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork Signed-off-by: David S.

net: cdc_ncm: avoid changing RX/TX buffers on MTU changes

2015-12-24T03:52:08+00:00

NCM buffer sizes are negotiated with the device independently of the network device MTU. The RX buffers are allocated by the usbnet framework based on the rx_urb_size value set by cdc_ncm. A single RX buffer can hold a number of MTU sized packets. The default usbnet change_mtu ndo only modifies rx_urb_size if it is equal to hard_mtu. And the cdc_ncm driver will set rx_urb_size and hard_mtu independently of each other, based on dwNtbInMaxSize and dwNtbOutMaxSize respectively. It was therefore assumed that usbnet_change_mtu() would never touch rx_urb_size. This failed to consider the case where dwNtbInMaxSize and dwNtbOutMaxSize happens to be equal. Fix by implementing an NCM specific change_mtu ndo, modifying the netdev MTU without touching the buffer size settings. Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: cdc_mbim: add "NDP to end" quirk for Huawei E3372

2015-12-06T04:35:34+00:00

The Huawei E3372 (12d1:157d) needs this quirk in MBIM mode as well. Allow this by forcing the NTB to contain only a single NDP, and add a device specific entry for this ID. Due to the way Huawei use device IDs, this might be applied to other modems as well. It is assumed that those modems will be based on the same firmware and will need this quirk too. If not, it will still not harm normal usage, although multiplexing performance could be impacted.

net: cdc_ncm: fix NULL pointer deref in cdc_ncm_bind_common

2015-11-24T19:26:16+00:00

Commit 77b0a099674a ("cdc-ncm: use common parser") added a dangerous new trust in the CDC functional descriptors presented by the device, unconditionally assuming that any device handled by the driver has a CDC Union descriptor. This descriptor is required by the NCM and MBIM specs, but crashing on non-compliant devices is still unacceptable. Not only will that allow malicious devices to crash the kernel, but in this case it is also well known that there are non-compliant real devices on the market - as shown by the comment accompanying the IAD workaround in the same function. The Sierra Wireless EM7305 is an example of such device, having a CDC header and a CDC MBIM descriptor but no CDC Union: Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 12 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 1 bInterfaceClass 2 Communications bInterfaceSubClass 14 bInterfaceProtocol 0 iInterface 0 CDC Header: bcdCDC 1.10 CDC MBIM: bcdMBIMVersion 1.00 wMaxControlMessage 4096 bNumberFilters 16 bMaxFilterSize 128 wMaxSegmentSize 4064 bmNetworkCapabilities 0x20 8-byte ntb input size Endpoint Descriptor: .. The conversion to a common parser also left the local cdc_union variable untouched. This caused the IAD workaround code to be applied to all devices with an IAD descriptor, which was never intended. Finish the conversion by testing for hdr.usb_cdc_union_desc instead. Cc: Oliver Neukum Fixes: 77b0a099674a ("cdc-ncm: use common parser") Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
