net/ncsi: Manage NCSI device

2015-10-06T03:50:04+00:00

There are multiple packages and channels connecting to NCSI enabled interface. The available packages and channels are probed with NCSI packets when NCSI device is started. Among the available packages and channels, only one channel should be selected to be active to provide service. When the active channel enters to failure state, we need choose another channel as active one to do failover. This implements the state machine to support above tasks. Also, the public interfaces are exposed for NIC driver to manage NCSI device. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan

net/ncsi: Resource management

2015-10-06T03:50:02+00:00

According to NCSI spec (DSP0222), the NCSI enabled interface can connected to multiple packages simultaneously, up to 8 packages. Each package includes multiple channels, up to 32 channels. At one moment, one channel is enabled to provide service to the NCSI enabled interface. Besides, each channel comprises capabilities, modes, filters, version and statistics etc. All of them are resources to NCSI protocol stack. At the meanwhile, the NCSI device seen from NIC driver is represented by "struct ncsi_dev", which is expected to populated and started by NIC driver before the NIC can work. All possible NCSI packages and NCSI channels connected to the NCSI interface are tracked from the NCSI device. Also, the NCSI device recognizes active channel that is currently providing service to NCSI enabled interface. Also, the NCSI requests (pairs of command and response) are embedded in NCSI device. This introduces the data structs to represents the NCSI resources mentioned as above. Also, functions used by NCSI stack internally are implemented. Besides, this introduces kernel config option CONFIG_NET_NCSI to enable NCSI stack. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan

net: sched: fix refcount imbalance in actions

2015-07-30T21:20:39+00:00

Since commit 55334a5db5cd ("net_sched: act: refuse to remove bound action outside"), we end up with a wrong reference count for a tc action. Test case 1: FOO="1,6 0 0 4294967295," BAR="1,6 0 0 4294967294," tc filter add dev foo parent 1: bpf bytecode "$FOO" flowid 1:1 \ action bpf bytecode "$FOO" tc actions show action bpf action order 0: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967295' default-action pipe index 1 ref 1 bind 1 tc actions replace action bpf bytecode "$BAR" index 1 tc actions show action bpf action order 0: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967294' default-action pipe index 1 ref 2 bind 1 tc actions replace action bpf bytecode "$FOO" index 1 tc actions show action bpf action order 0: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967295' default-action pipe index 1 ref 3 bind 1 Test case 2: FOO="1,6 0 0 4294967295," tc filter add dev foo parent 1: bpf bytecode "$FOO" flowid 1:1 action ok tc actions show action gact action order 0: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 1 bind 1 tc actions add action drop index 1 RTNETLINK answers: File exists [...] tc actions show action gact action order 0: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 2 bind 1 tc actions add action drop index 1 RTNETLINK answers: File exists [...] tc actions show action gact action order 0: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 3 bind 1 What happens is that in tcf_hash_check(), we check tcf_common for a given index and increase tcfc_refcnt and conditionally tcfc_bindcnt when we've found an existing action. Now there are the following cases: 1) We do a late binding of an action. In that case, we leave the tcfc_refcnt/tcfc_bindcnt increased and are done with the ->init() handler. This is correctly handeled. 2) We replace the given action, or we try to add one without replacing and find out that the action at a specific index already exists (thus, we go out with error in that case). In case of 2), we have to undo the reference count increase from tcf_hash_check() in the tcf_hash_check() function. Currently, we fail to do so because of the 'tcfc_bindcnt > 0' check which bails out early with an -EPERM error. Now, while commit 55334a5db5cd prevents 'tc actions del action ...' on an already classifier-bound action to drop the reference count (which could then become negative, wrap around etc), this restriction only accounts for invocations outside a specific action's ->init() handler. One possible solution would be to add a flag thus we possibly trigger the -EPERM ony in situations where it is indeed relevant. After the patch, above test cases have correct reference count again.

tcp: fix recv with flags MSG_WAITALL | MSG_PEEK

2015-07-27T08:06:53+00:00

Currently, tcp_recvmsg enters a busy loop in sk_wait_data if called with flags = MSG_WAITALL | MSG_PEEK. sk_wait_data waits for sk_receive_queue not empty, but in this case, the receive queue is not empty, but does not contain any skb that we can use. Add a "last skb seen on receive queue" argument to sk_wait_data, so that it sleeps until the receive queue has new skbs.

inet: frags: remove INET_FRAG_EVICTED and use list_evictor for the test

2015-07-27T04:00:15+00:00

We can simply remove the INET_FRAG_EVICTED flag to avoid all the flags race conditions with the evictor and use a participation test for the evictor list, when we're at that point (after inet_frag_kill) in the timer there're 2 possible cases: 1. The evictor added the entry to its evictor list while the timer was waiting for the chainlock or 2. The timer unchained the entry and the evictor won't see it In both cases we should be able to see list_evictor correctly due to the sync on the chainlock. Joint work with Florian Westphal.

inet: frag: don't re-use chainlist for evictor

2015-07-27T04:00:14+00:00

commit 65ba1f1ec0eff ("inet: frags: fix a race between inet_evict_bucket and inet_frag_kill") describes the bug, but the fix doesn't work reliably. Problem is that ->flags member can be set on other cpu without chainlock being held by that task, i.e. the RMW-Cycle can clear INET_FRAG_EVICTED bit after we put the element on the evictor private list. We can crash when walking the 'private' evictor list since an element can be deleted from list underneath the evictor. Join work with Nikolay Alexandrov.

ipv4: consider TOS in fib_select_default

2015-07-25T05:46:11+00:00

fib_select_default considers alternative routes only when res->fi is for the first alias in res->fa_head. In the common case this can happen only when the initial lookup matches the first alias with highest TOS value. This prevents the alternative routes to require specific TOS. This patch solves the problem as follows: - routes that require specific TOS should be returned by fib_select_default only when TOS matches, as already done in fib_table_lookup. This rule implies that depending on the TOS we can have many different lists of alternative gateways and we have to keep the last used gateway (fa_default) in first alias for the TOS instead of using single tb_default value. - as the aliases are ordered by many keys (TOS desc, fib_priority asc), we restrict the possible results to routes with matching TOS and lowest metric (fib_priority) and routes that match any TOS, again with lowest metric. For example, packet with TOS 8 can not use gw3 (not lowest metric), gw4 (different TOS) and gw6 (not lowest metric), all other gateways can be used: tos 8 via gw1 metric 2 <--- res->fa_head and res->fi tos 8 via gw2 metric 2 tos 8 via gw3 metric 3 tos 4 via gw4 tos 0 via gw5 tos 0 via gw6 metric 1 Reported-by: Hagen Paul Pfeifer Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: David S.

Johannes Berg says: ==================== Some fixes for the current cycle: 1. Arik introduced an rtnl-locked regulatory API to be able to differentiate between place do/don't have the RTNL; this fixes missing locking in some of the code paths 2. Two small mesh bugfixes from Bob, one to avoid treating a certain malformed over-the-air frame and one to avoid sending a garbage field over the air. 3. A fix for powersave during WoWLAN suspend from Krishna Chaitanya. 4. A fix for a powersave vs. aggregation teardown race, from Michal. 5. Thomas reduced the loglevel of CRDA messages to avoid spamming the kernel log with mostly irrelevant information. 6. Tom fixed a dangling debugfs directory pointer that could cause crashes if subsequent addition of the same interface to debugfs failed for some reason. 7. A fix from myself for a list corruption issue in mac80211 during combined interface shutdown/removal - shut down interfaces first and only then remove them to avoid that. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
