2013-09-19netpoll: fix NULL pointer dereference in netpoll_cleanupNikolay Aleksandrov1-5/+4
I've been hitting a NULL ptr deref while using netconsole because the np->dev check and the pointer manipulation in netpoll_cleanup are done without rtnl and the following sequence happens when having a netconsole over a vlan and we remove the vlan while disabling the netconsole: CPU 1 CPU2 removes vlan and calls the notifier enters store_enabled(), calls netdev_cleanup which checks np->dev and then waits for rtnl executes the netconsole netdev release notifier making np->dev == NULL and releases rtnl continues to dereference a member of np->dev which at this point is == NULL Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have trickeled in. Highlights: 1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll(). Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature. Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'") From Eliezer Tamir. 2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from Eric Dumazet. 3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski, Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan. 4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from Pavel Emelyanov. 5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from Rony Efraim. 6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar. 7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet. 8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis, from Cong Wang. 9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular, support receiving on multiple UDP ports. 10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel Borkmann. 11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel devices. From Nicolas Dichtel. 12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all. From Daniel Borkmann. 13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver, from Johannes Berg. 14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue, by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung Cheng. 16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon Horman. 17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri Pirko and Timo Teräs. 18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter Huewe. 19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet. 20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel. 21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet. 22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From Willem de Bruijn. 23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric Dumazet. 24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also from Eric Dumazet. 25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix from Vlad Yasevich. 26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti. 27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time too, from David Majnemer. 28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs. 29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1214 commits) drivers/net: caif: fix wrong rtnl_is_locked() usage drivers/net: enic: release rtnl_lock on error-path vhost-net: fix use-after-free in vhost_net_flush net: mv643xx_eth: do not use port number as platform device id net: sctp: confirm route during forward progress virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing virtio: support unlocked queue poll net/cadence/macb: fix bug/typo in extracting gem_irq_read_clear bit Documentation: Fix references to defunct linux-net@vger.kernel.org net/fs: change busy poll time accounting net: rename low latency sockets functions to busy poll bridge: fix some kernel warning in multicast timer sfc: Fix memory leak when discarding scattered packets sit: fix tunnel update via netlink dt:net:stmmac: Add dt specific phy reset callback support. dt:net:stmmac: Add support to dwmac version 3.610 and 3.710 dt:net:stmmac: Allocate platform data only if its NULL. net:stmmac: fix memleak in the open method ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information are available net: ipv6: fix wrong ping_v6_sendmsg return value ...

This corrects an regression introduced by "net: Use 16bits for *_headers fields of struct skbuff" when NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET is not set. In that case skb->tail will be a pointer however skb->network_header is now an offset. This patch corrects the problem by adding a wrapper to return skb tail as an offset regardless of the value of NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET. It seems that skb->tail that this offset may be more than 64k and some care has been taken to treat such cases as an error. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

When mutex debugging is enabled, the above warns the user when we are in fact exectuting in interrupt context interrupt context. After some discussion, It seems that a semaphore is the proper mechanism to use here. While mutexes are defined to be unusable in interrupt context, no such condition exists for semaphores (save for the fact that the non blocking api calls, like up and down_trylock must be used when in irq context).

2013-02-11netpoll: Fix __netpoll_rcu_free so that it can hold the rtnl lockNeil Horman1-6/+10
__netpoll_rcu_free is used to free netpoll structures when the rtnl_lock is already held. The mechanism is used to asynchronously call __netpoll_cleanup outside of the holding of the rtnl_lock, so as to avoid deadlock. Unfortunately, __netpoll_cleanup modifies pointers (dev->np), which means the rtnl_lock must be held while calling it. Further, it cannot be held, because rcu callbacks may be issued in softirq contexts, which cannot sleep. Fix this by converting the rcu callback to a work queue that is guaranteed to get scheduled in process context, so that we can hold the rtnl properly while calling __netpoll_cleanup Tested successfully by myself.

2013-02-06netpoll: protect napi_poll and poll_controller during dev_[open|close]Neil Horman1-0/+40
Ivan Vercera was recently backporting commit 9c13cb8bb477a83b9a3c9e5a5478a4e21294a760 to a RHEL kernel, and I noticed that, while this patch protects the tg3 driver from having its ndo_poll_controller routine called during device initalization, it does nothing for the driver during shutdown. I.e. it would be entirely possible to have the ndo_poll_controller method (or subsequently the ndo_poll) routine called for a driver in the netpoll path on CPU A while in parallel on CPU B, the ndo_close or ndo_open routine could be called. Given that the two latter routines tend to initizlize and free many data structures that the former two rely on, the result can easily be data corruption or various other crashes. Furthermore, it seems that this is potentially a problem with all net drivers that support netpoll, and so this should ideally be fixed in a common path. As Ben H Pointed out to me, we can't preform dev_open/dev_close in atomic context, so I've come up with this solution. We can use a mutex to sleep in open/close paths and just do a mutex_trylock in the napi poll path and abandon the poll attempt if we're locked, as we'll just retry the poll on the next send anyway. I've tested this here by flooding netconsole with messages on a system whos nic driver I modfied to periodically return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, so that the netpoll tx workqueue would be forced to send frames and poll the device. While this was going on I rapidly ifdown/up'ed the interface and watched for any problems. I've not found any.

napi->poll() needs IRQ enabled, so we have to re-enable IRQ before calling it. Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Cong Wang <amwang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-08-14netpoll: handle vlan tags in netpoll tx and rx pathAmerigo Wang1-0/+15
Without this patch, I can't get netconsole logs remotely over vlan. The reason is probably we don't handle vlan tags in either netpoll tx or rx path. I am not sure if I use these vlan functions correctly, at least this patch works.

2012-08-14netpoll: take rcu_read_lock_bh() in netpoll_send_skb_on_dev()Amerigo Wang1-14/+17
This patch fixes several problems in the call path of netpoll_send_skb_on_dev(): 1. Disable IRQ's before calling netpoll_send_skb_on_dev(). 2. All the callees of netpoll_send_skb_on_dev() should use rcu_dereference_bh() to dereference ->npinfo. 3. Rename arp_reply() to netpoll_arp_reply(), the former is too generic. Cc: "David S.

2012-08-14netpoll: take rcu_read_lock_bh() in netpoll_rx()Amerigo Wang1-2/+1
In __netpoll_rx(), it dereferences ->npinfo without rcu_dereference_bh(), this patch fixes it by using the 'npinfo' passed from netpoll_rx() where it is already dereferenced with rcu_dereference_bh().

Like the previous patch, slave_disable_netpoll() and __netpoll_cleanup() may be called with read_lock() held too, so we should make them non-block, by moving the cleanup and kfree() to call_rcu_bh() callbacks.

2012-06-13netpoll: fix netpoll_send_udp() bugsEric Dumazet1-5/+6
Bogdan Hamciuc diagnosed and fixed following bug in netpoll_send_udp() : "skb->len += len;" instead of "skb_put(skb, len);" Meaning that _if_ a network driver needs to call skb_realloc_headroom(), only packet headers would be copied, leaving garbage in the payload. However the skb_realloc_headroom() must be avoided as much as possible since it requires memory and netpoll tries hard to work even if memory is exhausted (using a pool of preallocated skbs) It appears netpoll_send_udp() reserved 16 bytes for the ethernet header, which happens to work for typicall drivers but not all. Right thing is to use LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) (And also add dev->needed_tailroom of tailroom) This patch combines both fixes. Many thanks to Bogdan for raising this issue.

2011-11-18net: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACEHerbert Xu1-2/+4
net: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE The macro LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE was ill-conceived. It applies the alignment to the sum of needed_headroom and needed_tailroom. As the amount that is then reserved for head room is needed_headroom with alignment, this means that the tail room left may be too small. This patch replaces all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE with the macro LL_RESERVED_SPACE and direct reference to needed_tailroom. This also fixes the problem with needed_headroom changing between allocating the skb and reserving the head room. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
