usbnet: ipheth: fix potential null pointer dereference in ipheth_carrier_set

2017-11-19T03:23:57+00:00

_dev_ is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there is a potential null pointer dereference. Fix this by moving the pointer dereference after _dev_ has been null checked.

usbnet: ipheth: prevent TX queue timeouts when device not ready

2017-11-15T04:51:46+00:00

iOS devices require the host to be "trusted" before servicing network packets. Establishing trust requires the user to confirm a dialog on the iOS device.Until trust is established, the iOS device will silently discard network packets from the host. Currently, the ipheth driver does not detect whether an iOS device has established trust with the host, and immediately sets up the transmit queues. This causes the following problems: - Kernel taint due to WARN() in netdev watchdog. - Dmesg spam ("TX timeout"). - Disruption of user space networking activity (dhcpd, etc...) when new interface comes up but cannot be used. - Unnecessary host and device wakeups and USB traffic Example dmesg output: [ 1101.319778] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1 (ipheth): transmit queue 0 timed out [ 1101.319817] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 1101.319828] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at net/sched/sch_generic.c:316 dev_watchdog+0x20f/0x220 [ 1101.319831] Modules linked in: ipheth usbmon nvidia_drm(PO) nvidia_modeset(PO) nvidia(PO) iwlmvm mac80211 iwlwifi btusb btrtl btbcm btintel qmi_wwan bluetooth cfg80211 ecdh_generic thinkpad_acpi rfkill [last unloaded: ipheth] [ 1101.319861] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: P O 4.13.12.1 #1 [ 1101.319864] Hardware name: LENOVO 20ENCTO1WW/20ENCTO1WW, BIOS N1EET62W (1.35 ) 11/10/2016 [ 1101.319867] task: ffffffff81e11500 task.stack: ffffffff81e00000 [ 1101.319873] RIP: 0010:dev_watchdog+0x20f/0x220 [ 1101.319876] RSP: 0018:ffff8810a3c03e98 EFLAGS: 00010292 [ 1101.319880] RAX: 000000000000003a RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 1101.319883] RDX: ffff8810a3c15c48 RSI: ffffffff81ccbfc2 RDI: 00000000ffffffff [ 1101.319886] RBP: ffff880c04ebc41c R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000379 [ 1101.319889] R10: 00000100696589d0 R11: 0000000000000378 R12: ffff880c04ebc000 [ 1101.319892] R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: ffff880c2865fc80 [ 1101.319896] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff8810a3c00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 1101.319899] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 1101.319902] CR2: 00007f3ff24ac000 CR3: 0000000001e0a000 CR4: 00000000003406f0 [ 1101.319905] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 1101.319908] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 1101.319910] Call Trace: [ 1101.319914] [ 1101.319921] ? dev_graft_qdisc+0x70/0x70 [ 1101.319928] ? dev_graft_qdisc+0x70/0x70 [ 1101.319934] ? call_timer_fn+0x2e/0x170 [ 1101.319939] ? dev_graft_qdisc+0x70/0x70 [ 1101.319944] ? run_timer_softirq+0x1ea/0x440 [ 1101.319951] ? timerqueue_add+0x54/0x80 [ 1101.319956] ? enqueue_hrtimer+0x38/0xa0 [ 1101.319963] ? __do_softirq+0xed/0x2e7 [ 1101.319970] ? irq_exit+0xb4/0xc0 [ 1101.319976] ? smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x39/0x50 [ 1101.319981] ? apic_timer_interrupt+0x8c/0xa0 [ 1101.319983] [ 1101.319992] ? cpuidle_enter_state+0xfa/0x2a0 [ 1101.319999] ? do_idle+0x1a3/0x1f0 [ 1101.320004] ? cpu_startup_entry+0x5f/0x70 [ 1101.320011] ? start_kernel+0x444/0x44c [ 1101.320017] ? early_idt_handler_array+0x120/0x120 [ 1101.320023] ? x86_64_start_kernel+0x145/0x154 [ 1101.320028] ? secondary_startup_64+0x9f/0x9f [ 1101.320033] Code: 20 04 00 00 eb 9f 4c 89 e7 c6 05 59 44 71 00 01 e8 a7 df fd ff 89 d9 4c 89 e6 48 c7 c7 70 b7 cd 81 48 89 c2 31 c0 e8 97 64 90 ff <0f> ff eb bf 66 66 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 [ 1101.320103] ---[ end trace 0cc4d251e2b57080 ]--- [ 1101.320110] ipheth 1-5:4.2: ipheth_tx_timeout: TX timeout The last message "TX timeout" is repeated every 5 seconds until trust is established or the device is disconnected, filling up dmesg. The proposed patch eliminates the problem by, upon connection, keeping the TX queue and carrier disabled until a packet is first received from the iOS device. This is reflected by the confirmed_pairing variable in the device structure. Only after at least one packet has been received from the iOS device, the transmit queue and carrier are brought up during the periodic device poll in ipheth_carrier_set. Because the iOS device will always send a packet immediately upon trust being established, this should not delay the interface becoming useable. To prevent failed UBRs in ipheth_rcvbulk_callback from perpetually re-enabling the queue if it was disabled, a new check is added so only successful transfers re-enable the queue, whereas failed transfers only trigger an immediate poll. This has the added benefit of removing the periodic control requests to the iOS device until trust has been established and thus should reduce wakeup events on both the host and the iOS device.

networking: introduce and use skb_put_data()

2017-06-16T15:48:37+00:00

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy() some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for this. An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many of the places using it: @@ identifier p, p2; expression len, skb, data; type t, t2; @@ ( -p = skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len); | -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len); ) ( p2 = (t2)p; -memcpy(p2, data, len); | -memcpy(p, data, len); ) @@ type t, t2; identifier p, p2; expression skb, data; @@ t *p; ... ( -p = skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t)); | -p = (t *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t)); ) ( p2 = (t2)p; -memcpy(p2, data, sizeof(*p)); | -memcpy(p, data, sizeof(*p)); ) @@ expression skb, len, data; @@ -memcpy(skb_put(skb, len), data, len); +skb_put_data(skb, data, len); (again, manually post-processed to retain some comments) Reviewed-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

ipheth: Add support for iPad 2 and iPad 3

2014-06-02T23:11:55+00:00

Each iPad model has a different product id, this patch adds support for iPad 2 (pid 0x12a2) and iPad 3 (pid 0x12a6). Note that iPad 2 must be jailbroken and a third-party app must be used for tethering to work. On iPad 3, tethering works out of the box (assuming your ISP is nice).

net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS Dave Miller mentioned he'd like to see SET_ETHTOOL_OPS gone. This does that. Mostly done via coccinelle script: @@ struct ethtool_ops *ops; struct net_device *dev; @@ - SET_ETHTOOL_OPS(dev, ops); + dev->ethtool_ops = ops; Compile tested only, but I'd seriously wonder if this broke anything.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include . Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next.
