ppp: prevent unregistered channels from connecting to PPP units

2018-03-11T15:12:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit 77f840e3e5f09c6d7d727e85e6e08276dd813d11 ] PPP units don't hold any reference on the channels connected to it. It is the channel's responsibility to ensure that it disconnects from its unit before being destroyed. In practice, this is ensured by ppp_unregister_channel() disconnecting the channel from the unit before dropping a reference on the channel. However, it is possible for an unregistered channel to connect to a PPP unit: register a channel with ppp_register_net_channel(), attach a /dev/ppp file to it with ioctl(PPPIOCATTCHAN), unregister the channel with ppp_unregister_channel() and finally connect the /dev/ppp file to a PPP unit with ioctl(PPPIOCCONNECT). Once in this situation, the channel is only held by the /dev/ppp file, which can be released at anytime and free the channel without letting the parent PPP unit know. Then the ppp structure ends up with dangling pointers in its ->channels list. Prevent this scenario by forbidding unregistered channels from connecting to PPP units. This maintains the code logic by keeping ppp_unregister_channel() responsible from disconnecting the channel if necessary and avoids modification on the reference counting mechanism. This issue seems to predate git history (successfully reproduced on Linux 2.6.26 and earlier PPP commits are unrelated). Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault Signed-off-by: David S.

hdlc_ppp: carrier detect ok, don't turn off negotiation

2018-03-11T15:12:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit b6c3bad1ba83af1062a7ff6986d9edc4f3d7fc8e ] Sometimes when physical lines have a just good noise to make the protocol handshaking fail, but the carrier detect still good. Then after remove of the noise, nobody will trigger this protocol to be start again to cause the link to never come back. The fix is when the carrier is still on, not terminate the protocol handshaking. Signed-off-by: Denis Du Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

bnx2x: Improve reliability in case of nested PCI errors

2018-03-03T09:17:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit f7084059a9cb9e56a186e1677b1dcffd76c2cd24 ] While in recovery process of PCI error (called EEH on PowerPC arch), another PCI transaction could be corrupted causing a situation of nested PCI errors. Also, this scenario could be reproduced with error injection mechanisms (for debug purposes). We observe that in case of nested PCI errors, bnx2x might attempt to initialize its shmem and cause a kernel crash due to bad addresses read from MCP. Multiple different stack traces were observed depending on the point the second PCI error happens. This patch avoids the crashes by: * failing PCI recovery in case of nested errors (since multiple PCI errors in a row are not expected to lead to a functional adapter anyway), and by, * preventing access to adapter FW when MCP is failed (we mark it as failed when shmem cannot get initialized properly).
