net: validate variable length ll headers

2016-07-11T03:07:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2793a23aacbd754dbbb5cb75093deb7e4103bace ] Netdevice parameter hard_header_len is variously interpreted both as an upper and lower bound on link layer header length. The field is used as upper bound when reserving room at allocation, as lower bound when validating user input in PF_PACKET. Clarify the definition to be maximum header length. For validation of untrusted headers, add an optional validate member to header_ops. Allow bypassing of validation by passing CAP_SYS_RAWIO, for instance for deliberate testing of corrupt input. In this case, pad trailing bytes, as some device drivers expect completely initialized headers.

packet: Allow packets with only a header (but no payload)

2016-07-11T03:07:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 880621c2605b82eb5af91a2c94223df6f5a3fb64 ] Commit 9c7077622dd91 ("packet: make packet_snd fail on len smaller than l2 header") added validation for the packet size in packet_snd. This change enforces that every packet needs a header (with at least hard_header_len bytes) plus a payload with at least one byte. Before this change the payload was optional. This fixes PPPoE connections which do not have a "Service" or "Host-Uniq" configured (which is violating the spec, but is still widely used in real-world setups). Those are currently failing with the following message: "pppd: packet size is too short (24 <= 24)" Signed-off-by: Martin Blumenstingl Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

net: Remove remaining remnants of pm_qos from netdevice.h

2015-05-13T03:22:03+00:00

Commit e2c6544829f removed pm_qos from struct net_device but left the comment and header file. Remove those. Signed-off-by: David Ahern Cc: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge/nl: remove wrong use of NLM_F_MULTI

2015-04-29T18:59:16+00:00

NLM_F_MULTI must be used only when a NLMSG_DONE message is sent. In fact, it is sent only at the end of a dump. Libraries like libnl will wait forever for NLMSG_DONE.

netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats: use less common iterator variable

2015-04-23T15:38:14+00:00

With the CPU iteration variable called 'i', it's relatively easy to have variable shadowing which sparse will warn about. Avoid that by renaming the variable to __cpu which is less likely to be used in the surrounding context. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mpls: Per-device MPLS state

2015-04-22T18:24:54+00:00

Add per-device MPLS state to supported interfaces. Use the presence of this state in mpls_route_add to determine that this is a supported interface. Use the presence of mpls_dev to drop packets that arrived on an unsupported interface - previously they were allowed through. Cc: "Eric W.

net: remove unused 'dev' argument from netif_needs_gso()

2015-04-17T17:29:41+00:00

In commit 04ffcb255f22 ("net: Add ndo_gso_check") Tom originally added the 'dev' argument to be able to call ndo_gso_check(). Then later, when generalizing this in commit 5f35227ea34b ("net: Generalize ndo_gso_check to ndo_features_check") Jesse removed the call to ndo_gso_check() in netif_needs_gso() by calling the new ndo_features_check() in a different place. This made the 'dev' argument unused. Remove the unused argument and go back to the code as before. Cc: Tom Herbert Cc: Jesse Gross Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

e1000e: Move pm_qos_req to e1000e adapter

2015-04-13T17:15:14+00:00

e1000e is the only driver requiring pm_qos_req, instead of causing every device to waste up to 240 bytes. Allocate it for the specific driver. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

if_link: Add an additional parameter to ifla_vf_info for RSS querying

2015-04-11T04:57:22+00:00

Add configuration setting for drivers to allow/block an RSS Redirection Table and a Hash Key querying for discrete VFs. On some devices VF share the mentioned above information with PF and querying it may adduce a theoretical security risk. We want to let a system administrator to decide if he/she wants to take this risk or not. Signed-off-by: Vlad Zolotarov Tested-by: Phil Schmitt Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher
