cdc_ether: fix rndis support for Mediatek based smartphones

2019-09-21T05:14:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4d7ffcf3bf1be98d876c570cab8fc31d9fa92725 ] A Mediatek based smartphone owner reports problems with USB tethering in Linux. The verbose USB listing shows a rndis_host interface pair (e0/01/03 + 10/00/00), but the driver fails to bind with [ 355.960428] usb 1-4: bad CDC descriptors The problem is a failsafe test intended to filter out ACM serial functions using the same 02/02/ff class/subclass/protocol as RNDIS. The serial functions are recognized by their non-zero bmCapabilities. No RNDIS function with non-zero bmCapabilities were known at the time this failsafe was added. But it turns out that some Wireless class RNDIS functions are using the bmCapabilities field. These functions are uniquely identified as RNDIS by their class/subclass/protocol, so the failing test can safely be disabled. The same applies to the two types of Misc class RNDIS functions. Applying the failsafe to Communication class functions only retains the original functionality, and fixes the problem for the Mediatek based smartphone. Tow examples of CDC functional descriptors with non-zero bmCapabilities from Wireless class RNDIS functions are: 0e8d:000a Mediatek Crosscall Spider X5 3G Phone CDC Header: bcdCDC 1.10 CDC ACM: bmCapabilities 0x0f connection notifications sends break line coding and serial state get/set/clear comm features CDC Union: bMasterInterface 0 bSlaveInterface 1 CDC Call Management: bmCapabilities 0x03 call management use DataInterface bDataInterface 1 and 19d2:1023 ZTE K4201-z CDC Header: bcdCDC 1.10 CDC ACM: bmCapabilities 0x02 line coding and serial state CDC Call Management: bmCapabilities 0x03 call management use DataInterface bDataInterface 1 CDC Union: bMasterInterface 0 bSlaveInterface 1 The Mediatek example is believed to apply to most smartphones with Mediatek firmware. The ZTE example is most likely also part of a larger family of devices/firmwares. Suggested-by: Lars Melin Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cdc_ether: Fix handling connection notification

2016-12-02T18:40:09+00:00

Commit bfe9b9d2df66 ("cdc_ether: Improve ZTE MF823/831/910 handling") introduced a work-around in usbnet_cdc_status() for devices that exported cdc carrier on twice on connect. Before the commit, this behavior caused the link state to be incorrect. It was assumed that all CDC Ethernet devices would either export this behavior, or send one off and then one on notification (which seems to be the default behavior). Unfortunately, it turns out multiple devices sends a connection notification multiple times per second (via an interrupt), even when connection state does not change. This has been observed with several different USB LAN dongles (at least), for example 13b1:0041 (Linksys). After bfe9b9d2df66, the link state has been set as down and then up for each notification. This has caused a flood of Netlink NEWLINK messages and syslog to be flooded with messages similar to: cdc_ether 2-1:2.0 eth1: kevent 12 may have been dropped This commit fixes the behavior by reverting usbnet_cdc_status() to how it was before bfe9b9d2df66. The work-around has been moved to a separate status-function which is only called when a known, affect device is detected. v1->v2: * Do not open-code netif_carrier_ok() (thanks Henning Schild). * Call netif_carrier_off() instead of usb_link_change(). This prevents calling schedule_work() twice without giving the work queue a chance to be processed (thanks Bjørn Mork).

cdc_ether: Improve ZTE MF823/831/910 handling

2016-07-25T05:16:03+00:00

The firmware in several ZTE devices (at least the MF823/831/910 modems/mifis) use OS fingerprinting to determine which type of device to export. In addition, these devices export a REST API which can be used to control the type of device. So far, on Linux, the devices have been seen as RNDIS or CDC Ether. When CDC Ether is used, devices of the same type are, as with RNDIS, exported with the same, bogus random MAC address. In addition, the devices (at least on all firmware revisions I have found) use the bogus MAC when sending traffic routed from external networks. And as a final feature, the devices sometimes export the link state incorrectly. There are also references online to several other ZTE devices displaying this behavior, with several different PIDs and MAC addresses. This patch tries to improve the handling of ZTE devices by doing the following: * Create a new driver_info-struct that is used by ZTE devices that do not have an explicit entry in the product table. This struct is the same as the default cdc_ether driver info, but a new bind- and an rx_fixup-function have been added. * In the new bind function, we check if we have read a random MAC from the device. If we have, then we generate a new random MAC address. This will ensure that all devices get a unique MAC. * The rx_fixup-function replaces the destination MAC address in the skb with that of the device. I have not seen a revision of these devices that behaves correctly (i.e., sets the right destination MAC), so I chose not to do any comparison with for example the known, bogus addresses. * The MF823/MF832/MF910 sometimes export cdc carrier on twice on connect (the correct behavior is off then on). Work around this by manually setting carrier to off if an on-notification is received and the NOCARRIER-bit is not set. This change will affect all devices, but it should take care of similar mistakes made by other manufacturers. I tried to think of/look/test for problems/regressions that could be introduced by this behavior, but could not find any. However, my familiarity with this code path is not that great, so there could be something I have overlooked. I have tested this patch with multiple revisions of all three devices, and they behave as expected. In other words, they all got a valid, random MAC, the correct operational state and I can receive/sent traffic without problems. I also tested with some other cdc_ether devices I have and did not find any problems/regressions caused by the two general changes. v3->v4: * Forgot to remove unused variables, sorry about that (thanks David Miller). v2->v3: * I had forgot to remove the random MAC generation from usbnet_cdc_bind() (thanks Oliver). * Rework logic in the ZTE bind-function a bit. v1->v2: * Only generate random MAC for ZTE devices (thanks Oliver Neukum). * Set random MAC and do RX fixup for all ZTE devices that do not have a product-entry, as the bogus MAC have been seen on devices with several different PIDs/MAC addresses. In other words, it seems to be the default behavior of ZTE CDC Ether devices (thanks Lars Melin). Signed-off-by: Kristian Evensen Acked-by: Oliver Neukum Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
