d31652a NFC: Fix target mode p2p link establishment With commit e29a9e2ae165620d, we set the active_target pointer from nfc_dep_link_is_up() in order to support the case where the target detection and the DEP link setting are done atomically by the driver. That can only happen in initiator mode, so we need to check for that otherwise we fail to bring a p2p link in target mode.

73f0b56 ath9k: Fix interrupt handling for the AR9002 family This patch adds a driver workaround for a HW issue. A race condition in the HW results in missing interrupts, which can be avoided by a read/write with the ISR register. All chips in the AR9002 series are affected by this bug - AR9003 and above do not have this problem.

1bc5ad1 Bluetooth: Fix HCI User Channel permission check in hci_sock_sendmsg The HCI User Channel is an admin operation which enforces CAP_NET_ADMIN when binding the socket. Problem now is that it then requires also CAP_NET_RAW when calling into hci_sock_sendmsg. This is not intended and just an oversight since general HCI sockets (which do not require special permission to bind) and HCI User Channel share the same code path here. Remove the extra CAP_NET_RAW check for HCI User Channel write operation since the permission check has already been enforced when binding the socket. This also makes it possible to open HCI User Channel from a privileged process and then hand the file descriptor to an unprivilged process.

bbf807b ath9k: fix duration calculation for non-aggregated packets When not aggregating packets, fi->framelen should be passed in as length to calculate the duration. Before the tx path rework, ath_tx_fill_desc was called for either one aggregate, or one single frame, with the length of the packet or the aggregate as a parameter. After the rework, ath_tx_sched_aggr can pass a burst of single frames to ath_tx_fill_desc and sets len=0.

56c07a9 iwlwifi: mvm: BT Coex fix another NULL pointer dereference This patch is very similar to a previous fix: 22cba0c0852f When we disassociate, mac80211 removes the station and then, it sets the bss it unsets the assoc bool in bss_info. Since the firwmware wants it the opposite (first set the MAC context as unassoc, and only then, remove the STA of the API), we have a small period of time in which the STA in firmware doesn't have a valid ieee80211_sta pointer. During that time, iwl_mvm_vif->ap_sta_id, is still set to the STA in firmware that represent the AP. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> 25 November 2013, 21:00:20 UTC

6960a05 iwlwifi: pcie: fix interrupt coalescing for 7260 / 3160 We changed the timeout for the interrupt coealescing for calibration, but that wasn't effective since we changed that value back before loading the firmware. Since calibrations are notification from firmware and not Rx packets, this doesn't change anyway - the firmware will fire an interrupt straight away regardless of the interrupt coalescing value. Also, a HW issue has been discovered in 7000 devices series. The work around is to disable the new interrupt coalescing timeout feature - do this by setting bit 31 in CSR_INT_COALESCING. This has been fixed in 7265 which means that we can't rely on the device family and must have a hint in the iwl_cfg structure.

18db594 mac80211: fix scheduled scan rtnl deadlock When changing cfg80211 to use RTNL locking, this caused a deadlock in mac80211 as it calls cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped() from a work item that's on a workqueue that is flushed with the RTNL held. Fix this by simply using schedule_work(), the work only needs to finish running before the wiphy is unregistered, no other synchronisation (e.g. with suspend) is really required since for suspend userspace is already blocked anyway when we flush the workqueue so will only pick up the event after resume.

2d3db21 Revert "mac80211: allow disable power save in mesh" This reverts commit ee1f668136b2fb6640ee2d54c2a525ea41f98211. The aformentioned commit added a check to allow 'iw wlan0 set power_save off' to work for mesh interfaces. However, this is problematic because it also allows 'iw wlan0 set power_save on', which will crash in short order because all of the subsequent code manipulates sdata->u.mgd. The power-saving states for mesh interfaces can be manipulated through the mesh config, e.g: 'iw wlan0 set mesh_param mesh_power_save=active' (which, despite the name, actualy disables power saving since the setting refers to the type of sleep the interface undergoes).

9d8506c gso: handle new frag_list of frags GRO packets Recently GRO started generating packets with frag_lists of frags. This was not handled by GSO, thus leading to a crash. Thankfully these packets are of a regular form and are easy to handle. This patch handles them in two ways. For completely non-linear frag_list entries, we simply continue to iterate over the frag_list frags once we exhaust the normal frags. For frag_list entries with linear parts, we call pskb_trim on the first part of the frag_list skb, and then process the rest of the frags in the usual way. This patch also kills a chunk of dead frag_list code that has obviously never ever been run since it ends up generating a bogus GSO-segmented packet with a frag_list entry. Future work is planned to split super big packets into TSO ones.

e40526c packet: fix use after free race in send path when dev is released Salam reported a use after free bug in PF_PACKET that occurs when we're sending out frames on a socket bound device and suddenly the net device is being unregistered. It appears that commit 827d9780 introduced a possible race condition between {t,}packet_snd() and packet_notifier(). In the case of a bound socket, packet_notifier() can drop the last reference to the net_device and {t,}packet_snd() might end up suddenly sending a packet over a freed net_device. To avoid reverting 827d9780 and thus introducing a performance regression compared to the current state of things, we decided to hold a cached RCU protected pointer to the net device and maintain it on write side via bind spin_lock protected register_prot_hook() and __unregister_prot_hook() calls. In {t,}packet_snd() path, we access this pointer under rcu_read_lock through packet_cached_dev_get() that holds reference to the device to prevent it from being freed through packet_notifier() while we're in send path. This is okay to do as dev_put()/dev_hold() are per-cpu counters, so this should not be a performance issue. Also, the code simplifies a bit as we don't need need_rls_dev anymore.

f3d3342 net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) to return msg_name to the user. This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak uninitialized memory. Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets msg_name to NULL. Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David Miller. Changes since RFC: Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of verify_iovec. With this change in place I could remove " if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0) msg->msg_name = NULL ". This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL. Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change comments to netdev style.

d2615bf net: core: Always propagate flag changes to interfaces The following commit: b6c40d68ff6498b7f63ddf97cf0aa818d748dee7 net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP tried to fix a problem with VLAN devices and promiscuouse flag setting. The issue was that VLAN device was setting a flag on an interface that was down, thus resulting in bad promiscuity count. This commit blocked flag propagation to any device that is currently down. A later commit: deede2fabe24e00bd7e246eb81cd5767dc6fcfc7 vlan: Don't propagate flag changes on down interfaces fixed VLAN code to only propagate flags when the VLAN interface is up, thus fixing the same issue as above, only localized to VLAN. The problem we have now is that if we have create a complex stack involving multiple software devices like bridges, bonds, and vlans, then it is possible that the flags would not propagate properly to the physical devices. A simple examle of the scenario is the following: eth0----> bond0 ----> bridge0 ---> vlan50 If bond0 or eth0 happen to be down at the time bond0 is added to the bridge, then eth0 will never have promisc mode set which is currently required for operation as part of the bridge. As a result, packets with vlan50 will be dropped by the interface. The only 2 devices that implement the special flag handling are VLAN and DSA and they both have required code to prevent incorrect flag propagation. As a result we can remove the generic solution introduced in b6c40d68ff6498b7f63ddf97cf0aa818d748dee7 and leave it to the individual devices to decide whether they will block flag propagation or not.

dcdfdf5 ipv4: fix race in concurrent ip_route_input_slow() CPUs can ask for local route via ip_route_input_noref() concurrently. if nh_rth_input is not cached yet, CPUs will proceed to allocate equivalent DSTs on 'lo' and then will try to cache them in nh_rth_input via rt_cache_route() Most of the time they succeed, but on occasion the following two lines: orig = *p; prev = cmpxchg(p, orig, rt); in rt_cache_route() do race and one of the cpus fails to complete cmpxchg. But ip_route_input_slow() doesn't check the return code of rt_cache_route(), so dst is leaking. dst_destroy() is never called and 'lo' device refcnt doesn't go to zero, which can be seen in the logs as: unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free.

For r8152_tx_agg_fill(), the variable remain may become negative. However, the declaration is unsigned, so the while loop wouldn't break when reaching the end of the desied memory. Although to change the declaration from unsigned to signed is enough to fix it, I also modify the checking method for safe. Replace remain = rx_buf_sz - sizeof(*tx_desc) - (u32)((void *)tx_data - agg->head); with remain = rx_buf_sz - (int)(tx_agg_align(tx_data) - agg->head); to make sure the variable remain is always positive. Then, the overflow wouldn't happen. For rx_bottom(), the rx_desc should not be used to calculate the packet length before making sure the rx_desc is in the desired range. Change the checking to two parts. First, check the descriptor is in the memory. The other, using the descriptor to find out the packet length and check if the packet is in the memory.

Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant counts for their ops array rather than something like ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar. Also, some genetlink protocols were using fixed IDs for their multicast groups. We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by other protocols can not possibly conflict. In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state management for genetlink operations and multicast groups. 2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value is one the driver actually supports. From Ben Hutchings. 3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar. 4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb->protocol in the right order relative to skb_scrub_packet().

091e066 Merge branch 'genetlink_mcast' Johannes Berg says: ==================== genetlink: clean up multicast group APIs The generic netlink multicast group registration doesn't have to be dynamic, and can thus be simplified just like I did with the ops. This removes some complexity in registration code. Additionally, two users of generic netlink already use multicast groups in a wrong way, add workarounds for those two to keep the userspace API working, but at the same time make them not clash with other users of multicast groups as might happen now. While making it all a bit easier, also prevent such abuse by adding checks to the APIs so each family can only use the groups it owns. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 19 November 2013, 21:39:42 UTC
2a94fe4 genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.

2ecf753 quota/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIs The quota code is abusing the genetlink API and is using its family ID as the multicast group ID, which is invalid and may belong to somebody else (and likely will.)

e5dcecb drop_monitor/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIs The drop monitor code is abusing the genetlink API and is statically using the generic netlink multicast group 1, even if that group belongs to somebody else (which it invariably will, since it's not reserved.) Make the drop monitor code use the proper APIs to reserve a group ID, but also reserve the group id 1 in generic netlink code to preserve the userspace API. Since drop monitor can be a module, don't clear the bit for it on unregistration.

c53ed74 genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops() As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops() a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the macro, this is a little safer. The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

dbde497 tcp: don't update snd_nxt, when a socket is switched from repair mode snd_nxt must be updated synchronously with sk_send_head. Otherwise tp->packets_out may be updated incorrectly, what may bring a kernel panic. Here is a kernel panic from my host. [ 103.043194] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048 [ 103.044025] IP: [<ffffffff815aaaaf>] tcp_rearm_rto+0xcf/0x150 ... [ 146.301158] Call Trace: [ 146.301158] [<ffffffff815ab7f0>] tcp_ack+0xcc0/0x12c0 Before this panic a tcp socket was restored. This socket had sent and unsent data in the write queue. Sent data was restored in repair mode, then the socket was switched from reapair mode and unsent data was restored. After that the socket was switched back into repair mode. In that moment we had a socket where write queue looks like this: snd_una snd_nxt write_seq |_________|________| | sk_send_head After a second switching from repair mode the state of socket was changed: snd_una snd_nxt, write_seq |_________ ________| | sk_send_head This state is inconsistent, because snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized. Bellow you can find a call trace, how packets_out can be incremented twice for one skb, if snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized. In this case packets_out will be always positive, even when sk_write_queue is empty. tcp_write_wakeup skb = tcp_send_head(sk); tcp_fragment if (!before(tp->snd_nxt, TCP_SKB_CB(buff)->end_seq)) tcp_adjust_pcount(sk, skb, diff); tcp_event_new_data_sent tp->packets_out += tcp_skb_pcount(skb); I think update of snd_nxt isn't required, when a socket is switched from repair mode. Because it's initialized in tcp_connect_init. Then when a write queue is restored, snd_nxt is incremented in tcp_event_new_data_sent, so it's always is in consistent state. I have checked, that the bug is not reproduced with this patch and all tests about restoring tcp connections work fine.
