2013-09-13e1000e: fix overrun of PHY RAR arrayDavid Ertman3-6/+17
When copying the MAC RAR registers to PHY there is an error in the calculation of the rar_entry_count, which causes a write of unknown/ undefined register space in the MAC to unknown/undefined register space in the PHY. This patch fixes the overrun with writing to the PHY RAR and also fixes the ethtool offline register tests so that the correctly addressed registers have the appropriate bitmasks for R/W and RO bits for affected parts. Shawn Rader gets credit for finding and fixing the register overrun.

2013-09-13bridge: Clamp forward_delay when enabling STPHerbert Xu3-8/+26
At some point limits were added to forward_delay. However, the limits are only enforced when STP is enabled. This created a scenario where you could have a value outside the allowed range while STP is disabled, which then stuck around even after STP is enabled. This patch fixes this by clamping the value when we enable STP. I had to move the locking around a bit to ensure that there is no window where someone could insert a value outside the range while we're in the middle of enabling STP.

This changes the message_age_timer calculation to use the BPDU's max age as opposed to the local bridge's max age. This is in accordance with section 8.6.2.3.2 Step 2 of the 802.1D-1998 sprecification. With the current implementation, when running with very large bridge diameters, convergance will not always occur even if a root bridge is configured to have a longer max age.

2013-09-13xen-netback: count number required slots for an skb more carefullyDavid Vrabel1-30/+64
When a VM is providing an iSCSI target and the LUN is used by the backend domain, the generated skbs for direct I/O writes to the disk have large, multi-page skb->data but no frags. With some lengths and starting offsets, xen_netbk_count_skb_slots() would be one short because the simple calculation of DIV_ROUND_UP(skb_headlen(), PAGE_SIZE) was not accounting for the decisions made by start_new_rx_buffer() which does not guarantee responses are fully packed. For example, a skb with length < 2 pages but which spans 3 pages would be counted as requiring 2 slots but would actually use 3 slots. skb->data: | 1111|222222222222|3333 | Fully packed, this would need 2 slots: |111122222222|22223333 | But because the 2nd page wholy fits into a slot it is not split across slots and goes into a slot of its own: |1111 |222222222222|3333 | Miscounting the number of slots means netback may push more responses than the number of available requests. This will cause the frontend to get very confused and report "Too many frags/slots". The frontend never recovers and will eventually BUG. Fix this by counting the number of required slots more carefully. In xen_netbk_count_skb_slots(), more closely follow the algorithm used by xen_netbk_gop_skb() by introducing xen_netbk_count_frag_slots() which is the dry-run equivalent of netbk_gop_frag_copy().

2013-09-12net: sctp: fix ipv6 ipsec encryption bug in sctp_v6_xmitDaniel Borkmann1-29/+13
Alan Chester reported an issue with IPv6 on SCTP that IPsec traffic is not being encrypted, whereas on IPv4 it is. Setting up an AH + ESP transport does not seem to have the desired effect: SCTP + IPv4: 22:14:20.809645 IP (tos 0x2,ECT(0), ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto AH (51), length 116) 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.5: AH(spi=0x00000042,sumlen=16,seq=0x1): ESP(spi=0x00000044,seq=0x1), length 72 22:14:20.813270 IP (tos 0x2,ECT(0), ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto AH (51), length 340) 192.168.0.5 > 192.168.0.2: AH(spi=0x00000043,sumlen=16,seq=0x1): SCTP + IPv6: 22:31:19.215029 IP6 (class 0x02, hlim 64, next-header SCTP (132) payload length: 364) fe80::222:15ff:fe87:7fc.3333 > fe80::92e6:baff:fe0d:5a54.36767: sctp 1) [INIT ACK] [init tag: 747759530] [rwnd: 62464] [OS: 10] [MIS: 10] Moreover, Alan says: This problem was seen with both Racoon and Racoon2. Other people have seen this with OpenSwan. When IPsec is configured to encrypt all upper layer protocols the SCTP connection does not initialize. After using Wireshark to follow packets, this is because the SCTP packet leaves Box A unencrypted and Box B believes all upper layer protocols are to be encrypted so it drops this packet, causing the SCTP connection to fail to initialize. When IPsec is configured to encrypt just SCTP, the SCTP packets are observed unencrypted. In fact, using `socat sctp6-listen:3333 -` on one end and transferring "plaintext" string on the other end, results in cleartext on the wire where SCTP eventually does not report any errors, thus in the latter case that Alan reports, the non-paranoid user might think he's communicating over an encrypted transport on SCTP although he's not (tcpdump ... -X): ... 0x0030: 5d70 8e1a 0003 001a 177d eb6c 0000 0000 ]p.......}.l.... 0x0040: 0000 0000 706c 6169 6e74 6578 740a 0000 ....plaintext... Only in /proc/net/xfrm_stat we can see XfrmInTmplMismatch increasing on the receiver side. Initial follow-up analysis from Alan's bug report was done by Alexey Dobriyan. Also thanks to Vlad Yasevich for feedback on this. SCTP has its own implementation of sctp_v6_xmit() not calling inet6_csk_xmit(). This has the implication that it probably never really got updated along with changes in inet6_csk_xmit() and therefore does not seem to invoke xfrm handlers. SCTP's IPv4 xmit however, properly calls ip_queue_xmit() to do the work. Since a call to inet6_csk_xmit() would solve this problem, but result in unecessary route lookups, let us just use the cached flowi6 instead that we got through sctp_v6_get_dst(). Since all SCTP packets are being sent through sctp_packet_transmit(), we do the route lookup / flow caching in sctp_transport_route(), hold it in tp->dst and skb_dst_set() right after that. If we would alter fl6->daddr in sctp_v6_xmit() to np->opt->srcrt, we possibly could run into the same effect of not having xfrm layer pick it up, hence, use fl6_update_dst() in sctp_v6_get_dst() instead to get the correct source routed dst entry, which we assign to the skb. Also source address routing example from 625034113 ("sctp: fix sctp to work with ipv6 source address routing") still works with this patch! Nevertheless, in RFC5095 it is actually 'recommended' to not use that anyway due to traffic amplification [1]. So it seems we're not supposed to do that anyway in sctp_v6_xmit(). Moreover, if we overwrite the flow destination here, the lower IPv6 layer will be unable to put the correct destination address into IP header, as routing header is added in ipv6_push_nfrag_opts() but then probably with wrong final destination. Things aside, result of this patch is that we do not have any XfrmInTmplMismatch increase plus on the wire with this patch it now looks like: SCTP + IPv6: 08:17:47.074080 IP6 2620:52:0:102f:7a2b:cbff:fe27:1b0a > 2620:52:0:102f:213:72ff:fe32:7eba: AH(spi=0x00005fb4,seq=0x1): ESP(spi=0x00005fb5,seq=0x1), length 72 08:17:47.074264 IP6 2620:52:0:102f:213:72ff:fe32:7eba > 2620:52:0:102f:7a2b:cbff:fe27:1b0a: AH(spi=0x00003d54,seq=0x1): ESP(spi=0x00003d55,seq=0x1), length 296 This fixes Kernel Bugzilla 24412. This security issue seems to be present since 2.6.18 kernels. Lets just hope some big passive adversary in the wild didn't have its fun with that. lksctp-tools IPv6 regression test suite passes as well with this patch.

2013-09-12ipc,shm: introduce shmctl_nolockDavidlohr Bueso1-18/+39
Similar to semctl and msgctl, when calling msgctl, the *_INFO and *_STAT commands can be performed without acquiring the ipc object. Add a shmctl_nolock() function and move the logic of *_INFO and *_STAT out of msgctl(). Since we are just moving functionality, this change still takes the lock and it will be properly lockless in the next patch.

2013-09-12ipc,shm: introduce lockless functions to obtain the ipc objectDavidlohr Bueso1-0/+20
This is the third and final patchset that deals with reducing the amount of contention we impose on the ipc lock (kern_ipc_perm.lock). These changes mostly deal with shared memory, previous work has already been done for semaphores and message queues: http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/20/546 (sems) http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/15/584 (mqueues) With these patches applied, a custom shm microbenchmark stressing shmctl doing IPC_STAT with 4 threads a million times, reduces the execution time by 50%. A similar run, this time with IPC_SET, reduces the execution time from 3 mins and 35 secs to 27 seconds. Patches 1-8: replaces blindly taking the ipc lock for a smarter combination of rcu and ipc_obtain_object, only acquiring the spinlock when updating. Patch 9: renames the ids rw_mutex to rwsem, which is what it already was. Patch 10: is a trivial mqueue leftover cleanup Patch 11: adds a brief lock scheme description, requested by Andrew. This patch: Add shm_obtain_object() and shm_obtain_object_check(), which will allow us to get the ipc object without acquiring the lock. Just as with other forms of ipc, these functions are basically wrappers around ipc_obtain_object*().

Conditionally call the appropriate fs_init function and fill_super functions. Add a use once guard to shmem_init() to simply succeed on a second call. (Note that IS_ENABLED() is a compile time constant so dead code elimination removes unused function calls when CONFIG_TMPFS is disabled.)
