* tipc: fix missing spinlock init in broadcast codeErik Hugne2013-02-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After commit 3c294cb3 "tipc: remove the bearer congestion mechanism", we try to grab the broadcast bearer lock when sending multicast messages over the broadcast link. This will cause an oops because the lock is never initialized. This is an old bug, but the lock was never actually used before commit 3c294cb3, so that why it was not visible until now. The oops will look something like: BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#2, daemon/147 lock: bcast_bearer+0x48/0xffffffffffffd19a [tipc], .magic: 00000000, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu: 0 Pid: 147, comm: daemon Not tainted 3.8.0-rc3+ #206 Call Trace: spin_dump+0x8a/0x8f spin_bug+0x21/0x26 do_raw_spin_lock+0x114/0x150 _raw_spin_lock_bh+0x19/0x20 tipc_bearer_blocked+0x1f/0x40 [tipc] tipc_link_send_buf+0x82/0x280 [tipc] ? __alloc_skb+0x9f/0x2b0 tipc_bclink_send_msg+0x77/0xa0 [tipc] tipc_multicast+0x11b/0x1b0 [tipc] send_msg+0x225/0x530 [tipc] sock_sendmsg+0xca/0xe0 The above can be triggered by running the multicast demo program.

* xen-netback: cancel the credit timer when taking the vif downDavid Vrabel2013-02-141-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the credit timer is left armed after calling xen_netbk_remove_xenvif(), then it may fire and attempt to schedule the vif which will then oops as vif->netbk == NULL. This may happen both in the fatal error path and during normal disconnection from the front end. The sequencing during shutdown is critical to ensure that: a) vif->netbk doesn't become unexpectedly NULL; and b) the net device/vif is not freed. 1. Mark as unschedulable (netif_carrier_off()). 2. Synchronously cancel the timer. 3. Remove the vif from the schedule list. 4. Remove it from it netback thread group. 5. Wait for vif->refcnt to become 0.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | netbk_count_requests() could detect an error, call netbk_fatal_tx_error() but return 0. The vif may then be used afterwards (e.g., in a call to netbk_tx_error().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit (32f5376 netfilter: nf_ct_helper: disable automatic helper re-assignment of different type) broke transparent proxy scenarios. For example, initial helper lookup might yield "ftp" (dport 21), while re-lookup after REDIRECT yields "ftp-2121". This causes the autoassign code to toss the ftp helper, even though these are just different instances of the same helper. Change the test to check for the helper function address instead of the helper address, as suggested by Pablo.

* | net: cdc_ncm: fix probing of devices with multiple control interface altsettingsBjørn Mork2013-02-141-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit bd329e1 ("net: cdc_ncm: do not bind to NCM compatible MBIM devices") added a test for a CDC MBIM altsetting, implementing the cdc_ncm part of MBIM backward compatibility support. This intentionally made the driver behave differently for CDC NCM devices with 2 alternate settings for the Communication interface, depending on whether or not CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM was enabled. This is correct iff alternate setting #1 really *is* a MBIM setting. If not, then NCM probing will use a different altsetting than before, possibly causing probing failures depending on CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM. Fix by setting the altsetting back to default after the test, restoring the previous behaviour for non MBIM devices. This bug causes probing of Huawei E3276 devices to fail when the MBIM driver is enabled, because these devices have a second alternate setting with no CDC functional descriptors.

However, currently, we take the 'continue' path of the loop when an entry is invalid (!laddr->valid) *and* the entry state does not equal SCTP_ADDR_SRC (laddr->state != SCTP_ADDR_SRC). Thus, still, invalid entries with SCTP_ADDR_SRC might not 'continue' as well as valid entries with SCTP_ADDR_{NEW, SRC, DEL}, with a possible false baddr and matchlen as a result, causing in worst case dst route to be false or possibly NULL. This test should actually be a '||' instead of '&&'. But lets fix it and make this a bit easier to read by having the condition the same way as similarly done in sctp_v4_get_dst.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An entry in DAT with the hashed position of 0 can cause a NULL pointer dereference when the first entry is checked by batadv_choose_next_candidate. This first candidate automatically has the max value of 0 and the max_orig_node of NULL. Not checking max_orig_node for NULL in batadv_is_orig_node_eligible will lead to a NULL pointer dereference when checking for the lowest address.

RSC is only supported with IPv4/TCP frames only. As such we can simplify the fix and avoid the unnecessary move of eth_type_trans. The previous patch "ixgbe: fix gso type" and this patch reduce the entire fix to one line that sets gso_type to TCPV4 if the frame is RSC.

On some machines, load balancing works, but on others the initial handshake just fails, thus no SCTP connection whatsoever can be established! We observed that the SCTP INIT-ACK handshake reply from the IPVS machine to the client had a correct IP checksum, but corrupt SCTP checksum when forwarded, thus on the client-side the packet was dropped and an intial handshake retriggered until all attempts run into the void. To fix this issue, this patch i) adds a missing CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY after the full checksum (re-)calculation (as done in IPVS TCP and UDP code as well), ii) calculates the checksum in little-endian format (as fixed with the SCTP code in commit 4458f04c: sctp: Clean up sctp checksumming code) and iii) refactors duplicate checksum code into a common function.

Tsirkin says: ==================== At the moment, macvtap crashes are observed if macvtap is attached to an interface with LRO enabled. The crash in question is BUG() in macvtap_skb_to_vnet_hdr. This happens because several drivers set gso_size but not gso_type in incoming skbs. This didn't use to be the case: with intel cards on 3.2 and older kernels, with qlogic - on 3.4 and older kernels, so it's a regression if not a recent one. The following patches fix this for qlogic, broadcom and intel drivers. I tested that the patch fixes the crash for ixgbe but don't have qlogic/broadcom hardware to test. I also only tested TCPv4.

On this system, that was the first address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page. The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if it was a PMD. If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be walked resulting in the oops above. This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check. Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now they are running the backup program without accessing /proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it makes sense.

The reason is that this system only supports x2apic physical mode, while the kernel boots with a logical-cluster default setting. This bug can be worked around by specifying the "x2apic_phys" or "nox2apic" boot option, but we want to handle this system without requiring manual workarounds. The BIOS sets ACPI_FADT_APIC_PHYSICAL in FADT table. As all apicids are smaller than 255, BIOS need to pass the control to the OS with xapic mode, according to x2apic-spec, chapter 2.9. Current code handle x2apic when BIOS pass with xapic mode enabled: When user specifies x2apic_phys, or FADT indicates PHYSICAL: 1. During madt oem check, apic driver is set with xapic logical or xapic phys driver at first. 2. enable_IR_x2apic() will enable x2apic_mode. 3. if user specifies x2apic_phys on the boot line, x2apic_phys_probe() will install the correct x2apic phys driver and use x2apic phys mode. Otherwise it will skip the driver will let x2apic_cluster_probe to take over to install x2apic cluster driver (wrong one) even though FADT indicates PHYSICAL, because x2apic_phys_probe does not check FADT PHYSICAL. Add checking x2apic_fadt_phys in x2apic_phys_probe() to fix the problem.

Instead, declare the entire kernel memory space as a violation of a present page. Additionally, since show_unhandled_signals is enabled by default, switch branch hinting to the more realistic expectation, and unobfuscate the setting of the PF_PROT bit to improve readability.
