      mac80211: fix AP_VLAN crypto tailroom calculation · f9dca80b
      Michal Kazior authored
      
      
      Some splats I was seeing:
      
       (a) WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at /devel/src/linux/net/mac80211/wep.c:102 ieee80211_wep_add_iv
       (b) WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at /devel/src/linux/net/mac80211/wpa.c:73 ieee80211_tx_h_michael_mic_add
       (c) WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 0 at /devel/src/linux/net/mac80211/wpa.c:433 ieee80211_crypto_ccmp_encrypt
      
      I've seen (a) and (b) with ath9k hw crypto and (c)
      with ath9k sw crypto. All of them were related to
      insufficient skb tailroom and I was able to
      trigger these with ping6 program.
      
      AP_VLANs may inherit crypto keys from parent AP.
      This wasn't considered and yielded problems in
      some setups resulting in inability to transmit
      data because mac80211 wouldn't resize skbs when
      necessary and subsequently drop some packets due
      to insufficient tailroom.
      
      For efficiency purposes don't inspect both AP_VLAN
      and AP sdata looking for tailroom counter. Instead
      update AP_VLAN tailroom counters whenever their
      master AP tailroom counter changes.

      mac80211: don't split remain-on-channel for coalescing · 252ec2b3
      Johannes Berg authored
      
      
      Due to remain-on-channel scheduling delays, when we split an ROC
      while coalescing, we'll usually get a picture like this:
      
      existing ROC:  |------------------|
      current time:              ^
      new ROC:                   |------|              |-------|
      
      If the expected response frames are then transmitted by the peer
      in the hole between the two fragments of the new ROC, we miss
      them and the process (e.g. ANQP query) fails.
      
      mac80211 expects that the window to miss something is small:
      
      existing ROC:  |------------------|
      new ROC:                   |------||-------|
      
      but that's normally not the case.
      
      To avoid this problem, coalesce only if the new ROC's duration
      is <= the remaining time on the existing one:
      
      existing ROC:  |------------------|
      new ROC:                   |-----|
      
      and never split a new one but schedule it afterwards instead:
      
      existing ROC:  |------------------|
      new ROC:                                       |-------------|

      Currently, iflink of the parent interface was always accessed, even
      when interface didn't have a parent and hence we crashed there.
      
      Handle the interface types properly: for a child interface, return
      the ifindex of the parent, for parent interface, return its ifindex.
      
      For child devices, make sure to set the parent pointer prior to
      invoking register_netdevice(), this allows the new ndo to be called
      by the stack immediately after the child device is registered.

      Chris Metcalf authored
      
      
      The "hypervisor shared" cores are ones that the Tilera hypervisor
      uses to receive interrupts to manage hypervisor-owned devices.
      It's a bad idea to try to use those cores with nohz_full, since
      they will get interrupted unpredictably -- and invisibly to Linux
      tracing tools, since the interrupts are delivered at a higher
      privilege level to the Tilera hypervisor.
      
      Generate a clear warning at boot up that this doesn't end well
      for the nohz_full cores in question.

      tile: support CONTEXT_TRACKING and thus NOHZ_FULL · 49e4e156
      Chris Metcalf authored
      
      
      Add the TIF_NOHZ flag appropriately.
      
      Add call to user_exit() on entry to do_work_pending() and on entry
      to syscalls via do_syscall_trace_enter(), and also the top of
      do_syscall_trace_exit() just because it's done in x86.
      
      Add call to user_enter() at the bottom of do_work_pending() once we
      have no more work to do before returning to userspace.
      
      Wrap all the trap code in exception_enter() / exception_exit().

      net: remove unused 'dev' argument from netif_needs_gso() · 8b86a61d
      Johannes Berg authored
      In commit 04ffcb25 ("net: Add ndo_gso_check") Tom originally
      added the 'dev' argument to be able to call ndo_gso_check().
      
      Then later, when generalizing this in commit 5f35227e
      
      
      ("net: Generalize ndo_gso_check to ndo_features_check")
      Jesse removed the call to ndo_gso_check() in netif_needs_gso()
      by calling the new ndo_features_check() in a different place.
      This made the 'dev' argument unused.
      
      Remove the unused argument and go back to the code as before.

      act_mirred: Fix bogus header when redirecting from VLAN · f40ae913
      Herbert Xu authored
      
      
      When you redirect a VLAN device to any device, you end up with
      crap in af_packet on the xmit path because hard_header_len is
      not equal to skb->mac_len.  So the redirected packet contains
      four extra bytes at the start which then gets interpreted as
      part of the MAC address.
      
      This patch fixes this by only pushing skb->mac_len.  We also
      need to fix ifb because it tries to undo the pushing done by
      act_mirred.

      inet_diag: fix access to tcp cc information · 521f1cf1
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      
      Two different problems are fixed here :
      
      1) inet_sk_diag_fill() might be called without socket lock held.
         icsk->icsk_ca_ops can change under us and module be unloaded.
         -> Access to freed memory.
         Fix this using rcu_read_lock() to prevent module unload.
      
      2) Some TCP Congestion Control modules provide information
         but again this is not safe against icsk->icsk_ca_ops
         change and nla_put() errors were ignored. Some sockets
         could not get the additional info if skb was almost full.
      
      Fix this by returning a status from get_info() handlers and
      using rcu protection as well.

      Chris Metcalf authored
      
      
      Tile includes a hypervisor hook to deliver messages to arbitrary
      tiles, so we can use that to raise an interrupt as soon as
      possible on our own core.  Unfortunately the Tilera hypervisor
      disabled that support on principle in previous releases, but
      it will be available in MDE 4.3.4 and later.

      arch: tile: fix null pointer dereference on pt_regs pointer · 9088616f
      Colin Ian King authored
      
      
      Cppcheck reports the following issue:
      [arch/tile/kernel/stack.c:116]: (error) Possible null
        pointer dereference: p
      
      In this case, on reporting on an odd fault, p is set to NULL
      and immediately afterwords p is dereferenced iff
      !kbt->profile is false.  Rather than doing this check just
      return NULL rather than falling through to the potential
      null pointer dereference (since the original intentional
      outcome would be to return NULL anyhow) for this odd fault
      case.

      tile/elf: reorganize notify_exec() · 5a3b4e80
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      
      
      In the future mm->exe_file will be done without mmap_sem
      serialization, thus isolate and reorganize the tile elf
      code to make the transition easier. Good users will, make
      use of the more standard get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only
      holding the mmap_sem to read the value, and relying on reference
      counting to make sure that the exe file won't dissappear
      underneath us.
      
      The visible effects of this patch are:
      
         o We now take and drop the mmap_sem more often. Instead of
           just in arch_setup_additional_pages(), we also do it in:
      
           1) get_mm_exe_file()
           2) to get the mm->vm_file and notify the simulator.
      
          [Note that 1) will disappear once we change the locking
           rules for exe_file.]
      
         o We avoid getting a free page and doing d_path() while
           holding the mmap_sem. This requires reordering the checks.

      tile: use si_int instead of si_ptr for compat_siginfo · 89067c2d
      Chris Metcalf authored
      
      
      To be compatible with the generic get_compat_sigevent(), the
      copy_siginfo_to_user32() and thus copy_siginfo_from_user32()
      have to use si_int instead of si_ptr.  Using si_ptr means that
      for the case of ILP32 compat code running in big-endian mode,
      we would end up copying the high 32 bits of the pointer value
      into si_int instead of the desired low 32 bits.
