vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols

2012-10-28T17:56:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit 48cc32d38a52d0b68f91a171a8d00531edc6a46e ] 6a32e4f9dd9219261f8856f817e6655114cfec2f made the vlan code skip marking vlan-tagged frames for not locally configured vlans as PACKET_OTHERHOST if there was an rx_handler, as the rx_handler could cause the frame to be received on a different (virtual) vlan-capable interface where that vlan might be configured. As rx_handlers do not necessarily return RX_HANDLER_ANOTHER, this could cause frames for unknown vlans to be delivered to the protocol stack as if they had been received untagged. For example, if an ipv6 router advertisement that's tagged for a locally not configured vlan is received on an interface with macvlan interfaces attached, macvlan's rx_handler returns RX_HANDLER_PASS after delivering the frame to the macvlan interfaces, which caused it to be passed to the protocol stack, leading to ipv6 addresses for the announced prefix being configured even though those are completely unusable on the underlying interface. The fix moves marking as PACKET_OTHERHOST after the rx_handler so the rx_handler, if there is one, sees the frame unchanged, but afterwards, before the frame is delivered to the protocol stack, it gets marked whether there is an rx_handler or not.

net: remove skb recycling

2012-10-28T17:56:16+00:00

[ Upstream commits acb600def2110b1310466c0e485c0d26299898ae and 66eef59f22275002f621ff9d951886b513d011b3. ] Over time, skb recycling infrastructure got litle interest and many bugs. Generic rx path skb allocation is now using page fragments for efficient GRO / TCP coalescing, and recyling a tx skb for rx path is not worth the pain. Last identified bug is that fat skbs can be recycled and it can endup using high order pages after few iterations. With help from Maxime Bizon, who pointed out that commit 87151b8689d (net: allow pskb_expand_head() to get maximum tailroom) introduced this regression for recycled skbs. Instead of fixing this bug, lets remove skb recycling. Drivers wanting really hot skbs should use build_skb() anyway, to allocate/populate sk_buff right before netif_receive_skb() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Maxime Bizon Signed-off-by: David S.

netlink: add reference of module in netlink_dump_start

2012-10-28T17:56:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6dc878a8ca39e93f70c42f3dd7260bde10c1e0f1 ] I get a panic when I use ss -a and rmmod inet_diag at the same time. It's because netlink_dump uses inet_diag_dump which belongs to module inet_diag. I search the codes and find many modules have the same problem. We need to add a reference to the module which the cb->dump belongs to. Thanks for all help from Stephen,Jan,Eric,Steffen and Pablo. Change From v3: change netlink_dump_start to inline,suggestion from Pablo and Eric. Change From v2: delete netlink_dump_done,and call module_put in netlink_dump and netlink_sock_destruct.

mtd: nand: allow NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE to be set from driver

2012-10-21T16:32:42+00:00

commit bf7a01bf7987b63b121d572b240c132ec44129c4 upstream. The NAND_CHIPOPTIONS_MSK has limited utility and is causing real bugs. It silently masks off at least one flag that might be set by the driver (NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE). This breaks the GPMI NAND driver and possibly others. Really, as long as driver writers exercise a small amount of care with NAND_* options, this mask is not necessary at all; it was only here to prevent certain options from accidentally being set by the driver. But the original thought turns out to be a bad idea occasionally. Thus, kill it. Note, this patch fixes some major gpmi-nand breakage.

mempolicy: fix a race in shared_policy_replace()

2012-10-12T20:50:32+00:00

commit b22d127a39ddd10d93deee3d96e643657ad53a49 upstream. shared_policy_replace() use of sp_alloc() is unsafe. 1) sp_node cannot be dereferenced if sp->lock is not held and 2) another thread can modify sp_node between spin_unlock for allocating a new sp node and next spin_lock. The bug was introduced before 2.6.12-rc2. Kosaki's original patch for this problem was to allocate an sp node and policy within shared_policy_replace and initialise it when the lock is reacquired. I was not keen on this approach because it partially duplicates sp_alloc(). As the paths were sp->lock is taken are not that performance critical this patch converts sp->lock to sp->mutex so it can sleep when calling sp_alloc().

Pull more networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Eric Dumazet discovered and fixed what turned out to be a family of bugs. These functions were using pskb_may_pull() which might need to reallocate the linear SKB data buffer, but the callers were not expecting this possibility. The callers have cached pointers to the packet header areas, and would need to reload them if we were to continue using pskb_may_pull(). So they could end up reading garbage. It's easier to just change these RAW4/RAW6/MIP6 routines to use skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull(), which won't modify the linear SKB data area. 2) Dave Jone's syscall spammer caught a case where a non-TCP socket can call down into the TCP keepalive code. The case basically involves creating a raw socket with sk_protocol == IPPROTO_TCP, then calling setsockopt(sock_fd, SO_KEEPALIVE, ...) Fixed by Eric Dumazet. 3) Bluetooth devices do not get configured properly while being powered on, resulting in always using legacy pairing instead of SSP. Fix from Andrzej Kaczmarek. 4) Bluetooth cancels delayed work erroneously, put stricter checks in place. From Andrei Emeltchenko. 5) Fix deadlock between cfg80211_mutex and reg_regdb_search_mutex in cfg80211, from Luis R. Rodriguez. 6) Fix interrupt double release in iwlwifi, from Emmanuel Grumbach. 7) Missing module license in bcm87xx driver, from Peter Huewe. 8) Team driver can lose port changed events when adding devices to a team, fix from Jiri Pirko. 9) Fix endless loop when trying ot unregister PPPOE device in zombie state, from Xiaodong Xu. 10) batman-adv layer needs to set MAC address of software device earlier, otherwise we call tt_local_add with it uninitialized. 11) Fix handling of KSZ8021 PHYs, it's matched currently by KS8051 but that doesn't program the device properly.

c/r: prctl: fix build error for no-MMU case

2012-09-25T15:59:21+00:00

Commit 1ad75b9e1628 ("c/r: prctl: add minimal address test to PR_SET_MM") added some address checking to prctl_set_mm() used by checkpoint-restore. This causes a build error for no-MMU systems: kernel/sys.c: In function 'prctl_set_mm': kernel/sys.c:1868:34: error: 'mmap_min_addr' undeclared (first use in this function) The test for mmap_min_addr doesn't make a lot of sense for no-MMU code as noted in commit 6e1415467614 ("NOMMU: Optimise away the {dac_,}mmap_min_addr tests"). This patch defines mmap_min_addr as 0UL in the no-MMU case so that the compiler will optimize away tests for "addr < mmap_min_addr".
