Bjorn Van Tilt contributes a patch which fixes a memory leak in usb_8dev's usb_8dev_start_xmit()s error path. A patch by Robert Schwebel fixes a typo in the can documentation. The remaining patches all target the c_can driver. Two of them are by me; they add a missing netif_napi_del() and return value checking. Thomas Gleixner contributes 12 patches, which address several shortcomings in the driver like hardware initialisation, concurrency, message ordering and poor performance. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs David Howells says: ==================== net-next: AF_RXRPC fixes and development Here are some AF_RXRPC fixes: (1) Fix to remove incorrect checksum calculation made during recvmsg(). It's unnecessary to try to do this there since we check the checksum before reading the RxRPC header from the packet. (2) Fix to prevent the sending of an ABORT packet in response to another ABORT packet and inducing a storm. (3) Fix UDP MTU calculation from parsing ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED packets where we don't handle the ICMP packet not specifying an MTU size. And development patches: (4) Add sysctls for configuring RxRPC parameters, specifically various delays pertaining to ACK generation, the time before we resend a packet for which we don't receive an ACK, the maximum time a call is permitted to live and the amount of time transport, connection and dead call information is cached. (5) Improve ACK packet production by adjusting the handling of ACK_REQUESTED packets, ignoring the MORE_PACKETS flag, delaying the production of otherwise immediate ACK_IDLE packets and delaying all ACK_IDLE production (barring the call termination) to half a second. (6) Add more sysctl parameters to expose the Rx window size, the maximum packet size that we're willing to receive and the number of jumbo rxrpc packets we're willing to handle in a single UDP packet. (7) Request ACKs on alternate DATA packets so that the other side doesn't wait till we fill up the Tx window. (8) Use a RCU hash table to look up the rxrpc_call for an incoming packet rather than stepping through a hierarchy involving several spinlocks. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-03-07net: Improve SO_TIMESTAMPING documentation and fix a minor code bugAndrew Lutomirski1-20/+32
The original documentation was very unclear. The code fix is presumably related to the formerly unclear documentation: SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE has no effect on __sock_recv_timestamp's behavior, so calling __sock_recv_ts_and_drops from sock_recv_ts_and_drops if only SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is set is pointless. This should have no user-observable effect. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Acked-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-03-03can: remove CAN FD compatibility for CAN 2.0 socketsOliver Hartkopp1-6/+0
In commit e2d265d3b587 (canfd: add support for CAN FD in CAN_RAW sockets) CAN FD frames with a payload length up to 8 byte are passed to legacy sockets where the CAN FD support was not enabled by the application. After some discussions with developers at a fair this well meant feature leads to confusion as no clean switch for CAN / CAN FD is provided to the application programmer. Additionally a compatibility like this for legacy CAN_RAW sockets requires some compatibility handling for the sending, e.g. make CAN2.0 frames a CAN FD frame with BRS at transmission time (?!?). This will become a mess when people start to develop applications with real CAN FD hardware. This patch reverts the bad compatibility code together with the documentation describing the removed feature.

2014-02-19bonding: permit using arp_validate with non-ab modesVeaceslav Falico1-3/+3
Currently it's disabled because it's sometimes hard, in typical configs, to make it work - because of the nature how the loadbalance modes work - as it's hard to deliver valid arp replies to correct slaves by the switch. However we still can use arp_validation in loadbalance with several other configs, per example with arp_validate == 2 for backup with one broadcast domain, without the switch(es) doing any balancing - this way we'd be (a bit more) sure that the slave is up. So, enable it to let users decide which one works/suits them best. Also correct the mode limitation from BOND_OPT_ARP_VALIDATE.

2014-02-19gianfar: Remove sysfs stubs for FIFOCFG and stashingClaudiu Manoil1-30/+0
Removing the sysfs stubs for the Tx FIFOCFG and ATTRELI (stashing) config registers, as these registers may only be configured after a MAC reset, with the controller stopped (i.e. during hw init, at probe() time). The current sysfs stubs allow on-the-fly updates of these registers (the locking measures are useless and only add unecessary code). Changing these registers is discouraged. Only the default values will be used instead. Moreover, the stashing (ATTRELI) configuration options were effectively disabled (didn't get to the hw anyway if changed) because the stashing device_flags (HAS_BD_STASHING|HAS_BUF_STASHING) were "accidentally" cleared during probe().

2014-01-13ipv4: introduce hardened ip_no_pmtu_disc modeHannes Frederic Sowa1-1/+12
This new ip_no_pmtu_disc mode only allowes fragmentation-needed errors to be honored by protocols which do more stringent validation on the ICMP's packet payload. This knob is useful for people who e.g. want to run an unmodified DNS server in a namespace where they need to use pmtu for TCP connections (as they are used for zone transfers or fallback for requests) but don't want to use possibly spoofed UDP pmtu information. Currently the whitelisted protocols are TCP, SCTP and DCCP as they check if the returned packet is in the window or if the association is valid.

2014-01-13ipv4: introduce ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward and protect forwarding path against ↵Hannes Frederic Sowa1-0/+13
pmtu spoofing While forwarding we should not use the protocol path mtu to calculate the mtu for a forwarded packet but instead use the interface mtu. We mark forwarded skbs in ip_forward with IPSKB_FORWARDED, which was introduced for multicast forwarding. But as it does not conflict with our usage in unicast code path it is perfect for reuse. I moved the functions ip_sk_accept_pmtu, ip_sk_use_pmtu and ip_skb_dst_mtu along with the new ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward to net/ip.h to fix circular dependencies because of IPSKB_FORWARDED. Because someone might have written a software which does probe destinations manually and expects the kernel to honour those path mtus I introduced a new per-namespace "ip_forward_use_pmtu" knob so someone can disable this new behaviour. We also still use mtus which are locked on a route for forwarding. The reason for this change is, that path mtus information can be injected into the kernel via e.g. icmp_err protocol handler without verification of local sockets. As such, this could cause the IPv4 forwarding path to wrongfully emit fragmentation needed notifications or start to fragment packets along a path. Tunnel and ipsec output paths clear IPCB again, thus IPSKB_FORWARDED won't be set and further fragmentation logic will use the path mtu to determine the fragmentation size. They also recheck packet size with help of path mtu discovery and report appropriate errors.

This change allows to follow a recommandation of RFC4942. - Add "anycast_src_echo_reply" sysctl to control the use of anycast addresses as source addresses for ICMPv6 echo reply. This sysctl is false by default to preserve existing behavior. - Add inline check ipv6_anycast_destination(). - Use them in icmpv6_echo_reply(). Reference: RFC4942 - IPv6 Transition/Coexistence Security Considerations (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4942#section-2.1.6) 2.1.6. Anycast Traffic Identification and Security [...] To avoid exposing knowledge about the internal structure of the network, it is recommended that anycast servers now take advantage of the ability to return responses with the anycast address as the source address if possible.
