b00916b189 net: clear heap allocations for privileged ethtool actions
Several other ethtool functions leave heap uncleared (potentially) by
drivers. Some interfaces appear safe (eeprom, etc), in that the sizes
are well controlled. In some situations (e.g. unchecked error conditions),
the heap will remain unchanged in areas before copying back to userspace.
Note that these are less of an issue since these all require CAP_NET_ADMIN.

ae6df5f96a net: clear heap allocation for ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL
Calling ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL with a large rule_cnt will allocate kernel
heap without clearing it. For the one driver (niu) that implements it,
it will leave the unused portion of heap unchanged and copy the full
contents back to userspace.

482964e56e net: Fix the condition passed to sk_wait_event()
This patch fixes the condition (3rd arg) passed to sk_wait_event() in
sk_stream_wait_memory(). The incorrect check in sk_stream_wait_memory()
causes the following soft lockup in tcp_sendmsg() when the global tcp
memory pool has exhausted.

What is happening is, that the sk_wait_event() condition passed from
sk_stream_wait_memory() evaluates to true for the case of tcp global memory
exhaustion. This is because both sk_stream_memory_free() and vm_wait are true
which causes sk_wait_event() to *not* call schedule_timeout().
Hence sk_stream_wait_memory() returns immediately to the caller w/o sleeping.
This causes the caller to again try allocation, which again fails and again
calls sk_stream_wait_memory(), and so on.

01db403cf9 tcp: Fix >4GB writes on 64-bit.
Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603

tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write
zero bytes, for example.

There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works.  It
wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return
value.

However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and
thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines).  So it could trigger
false-positives on 64-bit as written.  So fix it to use 'long'.

f064af1e50 net: fix a lockdep splat
We have for each socket :

One spinlock (sk_slock.slock)
One rwlock (sk_callback_lock)

Possible scenarios are :

(A) (this is used in net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c)
read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) (without blocking BH)
<BH>
spin_lock(&sk->sk_slock.slock);
...
read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock);
...

(B)
write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
stuff
write_unlock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock)

(C)
spin_lock_bh(&sk->sk_slock)
...
write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
stuff
write_unlock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
spin_unlock_bh(&sk->sk_slock)

This (C) case conflicts with (A) :

CPU1 [A]                         CPU2 [C]
read_lock(callback_lock)
<BH>                             spin_lock_bh(slock)
<wait to spin_lock(slock)>
                                 <wait to write_lock_bh(callback_lock)>

We have one problematic (C) use case in inet_csk_listen_stop() :

local_bh_disable();
bh_lock_sock(child); // spin_lock_bh(&sk->sk_slock)
WARN_ON(sock_owned_by_user(child));
...
sock_orphan(child); // write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock)

lockdep is not happy with this, as reported by Tetsuo Handa

It seems only way to deal with this is to use read_lock_bh(callbacklock)
everywhere.

Thanks to Jarek for pointing a bug in my first attempt and suggesting
this solution.

ef885afbf8 net: use rcu_barrier() in rollback_registered_many
netdev_wait_allrefs() waits that all references to a device vanishes.

It currently uses a _very_ pessimistic 250 ms delay between each probe.
Some users reported that no more than 4 devices can be dismantled per
second, this is a pretty serious problem for some setups.

Most of the time, a refcount is about to be released by an RCU callback,
that is still in flight because rollback_registered_many() uses a
synchronize_rcu() call instead of rcu_barrier(). Problem is visible if
number of online cpus is one, because synchronize_rcu() is then a no op.

64289c8e68 gro: Re-fix different skb headrooms
The patch: "gro: fix different skb headrooms" in its part:
"2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list" is buggy. The copied
skb has p->data set at the ip header at the moment, and skb_gro_offset
is the length of ip + tcp headers. So, after the change the length of
mac header is skipped. Later skb_set_mac_header() sets it into the
NET_SKB_PAD area (if it's long enough) and ip header is misaligned at
NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN offset. There is no reason to assume the
original skb was wrongly allocated, so let's copy it as it was.

deabc772f3 net: fix tx queue selection for bridged devices implementing select_queue
When a net device is implementing the select_queue callback and is part of
a bridge, frames coming from the bridge already have a tx queue associated
to the socket (introduced in commit a4ee3ce329,
"net: Use sk_tx_queue_mapping for connected sockets"). The call to
sk_tx_queue_get will then return the tx queue used by the bridge instead
of calling the select_queue callback.

In case of mac80211 this broke QoS which is implemented by using the
select_queue callback. Furthermore it introduced problems with rt2x00
because frames with the same TID and RA sometimes appeared on different
tx queues which the hw cannot handle correctly.

Fix this by always calling select_queue first if it is available and only
afterwards use the socket tx queue mapping.

3d3be4333f gro: fix different skb headrooms
Packets entering GRO might have different headrooms, even for a given
flow (because of implementation details in drivers, like copybreak).
We cant force drivers to deliver packets with a fixed headroom.

1) fix skb_segment()

skb_segment() makes the false assumption headrooms of fragments are same
than the head. When CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is used, this can give csum_start
errors, and crash later in skb_copy_and_csum_dev()

2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list

skb_gro_receive() uses netdev_alloc_skb(headroom + skb_gro_offset(p)) to
allocate a fresh skb. This adds NET_SKB_PAD to a padding already
provided by netdevice, depending on various things, like copybreak.

Use alloc_skb() to allocate an exact padding, to reduce cache line
needs:
NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN

c1f79426e2 sysfs: add attribute to indicate hw address assignment type
Add addr_assign_type to struct net_device and expose it via sysfs.
This new attribute has the purpose of giving user-space the ability to
distinguish between different assignment types of MAC addresses.

For example user-space can treat NICs with randomly generated MAC
addresses differently than NICs that have permanent (locally assigned)
MAC addresses.
For the former udev could write a persistent net rule by matching the
device path instead of the MAC address.
There's also the case of devices that 'steal' MAC addresses from slave
devices. In which it is also be beneficial for user-space to be aware
of the fact.

This patch also introduces a helper function to assist adoption of
drivers that generate MAC addresses randomly.

00c5a9834b net: Fix corruption of skb csum field in pskb_expand_head() of net/core/skbuff.c
Make pskb_expand_head() check ip_summed to make sure csum_start is really
csum_start and not csum before adjusting it.

This fixes a bug I encountered using a Sun Quad-Fast Ethernet card and VLANs.
On my configuration, the sunhme driver produces skbs with differing amounts
of headroom on receive depending on the packet size.  See line 2030 of
drivers/net/sunhme.c; packets smaller than RX_COPY_THRESHOLD have 52 bytes
of headroom but packets larger than that cutoff have only 20 bytes.

When these packets reach the VLAN driver, vlan_check_reorder_header()
calls skb_cow(), which, if the packet has less than NET_SKB_PAD (== 32) bytes
of headroom, uses pskb_expand_head() to make more.

Then, pskb_expand_head() needs to adjust a lot of offsets into the skb,
including csum_start.  Since csum_start is a union with csum, if the packet
has a valid csum value this will corrupt it, which was the effect I observed.
The sunhme hardware computes receive checksums, so the skbs would be created
by the driver with ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE and a valid csum field, and
then pskb_expand_head() would corrupt the csum field, leading to an "hw csum
error" message later on, for example in icmp_rcv() for pings larger than the
sunhme RX_COPY_THRESHOLD.

On the basis of the comment at the beginning of include/linux/skbuff.h,
I believe that the csum_start skb field is only meaningful if ip_csummed is
CSUM_PARTIAL, so this patch makes pskb_expand_head() adjust it only in that
case to avoid corrupting a valid csum value.

Please see my more in-depth disucssion of tracking down this bug for
more details if you like:

dev_pick_tx, the TX queue is read by doing a check with
sk_tx_queue_recorded on the socket, followed by a sk_tx_queue_get.
The problem is that there is not mutual exclusion across these
calls in the socket so it it is possible that the queue in the
sock can be invalidated after sk_tx_queue_recorded is called so
that sk_tx_queue get returns -1, which sets 65535 in queue_index
and thus dev_pick_tx returns 65536 which is a bogus queue and
can cause crash in dev_queue_xmit.

We fix this by only calling sk_tx_queue_get which does the proper
checks.  The interface is that sk_tx_queue_get returns the TX queue
if the sock argument is non-NULL and TX queue is recorded, else it
returns -1.  sk_tx_queue_recorded is no longer used so it can be
completely removed.

91a72a7059 net/core: neighbour update Oops
When configuring DMVPN (GRE + openNHRP) and a GRE remote
address is configured a kernel Oops is observed.  The
obserseved Oops is caused by a NULL header_ops pointer
(neigh->dev->header_ops) in neigh_update_hhs() when

void (*update)(struct hh_cache*, const struct net_device*, const unsigned char *)
= neigh->dev->header_ops->cache_update;

is executed.  The dev associated with the NULL header_ops is
the GRE interface.  This patch guards against the
possibility that header_ops is NULL.

This Oops was first observed in kernel version 2.6.26.8.

87fd308cfc net: skb_tx_hash() fix relative to skb_orphan_try()
commit fc6055a5ba (net: Introduce skb_orphan_try()) added early
orphaning of skbs.

This unfortunately added a performance regression in skb_tx_hash() in
case of stacked devices (bonding, vlans, ...)

Since skb->sk is now NULL, we cannot access sk->sk_hash anymore to
spread tx packets to multiple NIC queues on multiqueue devices.

skb_tx_hash() in this case only uses skb->protocol, same value for all
flows.

skb_orphan_try() can copy sk->sk_hash into skb->rxhash and skb_tx_hash()
can use this saved sk_hash value to compute its internal hash value.

3cfde79c6c net: Get rid of rtnl_link_stats64 / net_device_stats union
In commit be1f3c2c02 "net: Enable 64-bit
net device statistics on 32-bit architectures" I redefined struct
net_device_stats so that it could be used in a union with struct
rtnl_link_stats64, avoiding the need for explicit copying or
conversion between the two.  However, this is unsafe because there is
no locking required and no lock consistently held around calls to
dev_get_stats() and use of the statistics structure it returns.

In commit 28172739f0 "net: fix 64 bit
counters on 32 bit arches" Eric Dumazet dealt with that problem by
requiring callers of dev_get_stats() to provide storage for the
result.  This means that the net_device::stats64 field and the padding
in struct net_device_stats are now redundant, so remove them.

Update the comment on net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64 to reflect its
new usage.

Change dev_txq_stats_fold() to use struct rtnl_link_stats64, since
that is what all its callers are really using and it is no longer
going to be compatible with struct net_device_stats.

Eric Dumazet suggested the separate function for the structure
conversion.

28172739f0 net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit arches
There is a small possibility that a reader gets incorrect values on 32
bit arches. SNMP applications could catch incorrect counters when a
32bit high part is changed by another stats consumer/provider.

One way to solve this is to add a rtnl_link_stats64 param to all
ndo_get_stats64() methods, and also add such a parameter to
dev_get_stats().

Rule is that we are not allowed to use dev->stats64 as a temporary
storage for 64bit stats, but a caller provided area (usually on stack)

Old drivers (only providing get_stats() method) need no changes.

f0796d5c73 net: decreasing real_num_tx_queues needs to flush qdisc
Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise
skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can
be sent to the underlying driver.

The flow for this is,

dev_queue_xmit()
	dev_pick_tx()
		skb_tx_hash()  => hash using real_num_tx_queues
		skb_set_queue_mapping()
	...
	qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash
...
dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n
...
sch_direct_xmit()
	dev_hard_start_xmit()
		ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash

skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set
0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues.  When the driver
decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the
qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues.

This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB
and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map
skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to
rings that no longer exist.

a5b6ee291e ethtool: Add support for control of RX flow hash indirection
Many NICs use an indirection table to map an RX flow hash value to one
of an arbitrary number of queues (not necessarily a power of 2).  It
can be useful to remove some queues from this indirection table so
that they are only used for flows that are specifically filtered
there.  It may also be useful to weight the mapping to account for
user processes with the same CPU-affinity as the RX interrupts.

Add a 'supported' parameter specifying the flags that the driver and
hardware support, validate the requested flags against this, and
change all current callers to pass this parameter.

Change some other trivial implementations of ethtool_ops::set_flags to
call ethtool_op_set_flags().

bf988435bd ethtool: Fix potential user buffer overflow for ETHTOOL_{G, S}RXFH
struct ethtool_rxnfc was originally defined in 2.6.27 for the
ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH command with only the cmd, flow_type and data
fields.  It was then extended in 2.6.30 to support various additional
commands.  These commands should have been defined to use a new
structure, but it is too late to change that now.

Since user-space may still be using the old structure definition
for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH commands, and since they do not need the
additional fields, only copy the originally defined fields to and
from user-space.

01f2f3f6ef net: optimize Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) processing
Gcc is currenlty not in the ability to optimize the switch statement in
sk_run_filter() because of dense case labels. This patch replace the
OR'd labels with ordered sequenced case labels. The sk_chk_filter()
function is modified to patch/replace the original OPCODES in a
ordered but equivalent form. gcc is now in the ability to transform the
switch statement in sk_run_filter into a jump table of complexity O(1).

Until this patch gcc generates a sequence of conditional branches (O(n) of 567
byte .text segment size (arch x86_64):

7ff: 8b 06                 mov    (%rsi),%eax
801: 66 83 f8 35           cmp    $0x35,%ax
805: 0f 84 d0 02 00 00     je     adb <sk_run_filter+0x31d>
80b: 0f 87 07 01 00 00     ja     918 <sk_run_filter+0x15a>
811: 66 83 f8 15           cmp    $0x15,%ax
815: 0f 84 c5 02 00 00     je     ae0 <sk_run_filter+0x322>
81b: 77 73                 ja     890 <sk_run_filter+0xd2>
81d: 66 83 f8 04           cmp    $0x4,%ax
821: 0f 84 17 02 00 00     je     a3e <sk_run_filter+0x280>
827: 77 29                 ja     852 <sk_run_filter+0x94>
829: 66 83 f8 01           cmp    $0x1,%ax
[...]

With the modification the compiler translate the switch statement into
the following jump table fragment:

7ff: 66 83 3e 2c           cmpw   $0x2c,(%rsi)
803: 0f 87 1f 02 00 00     ja     a28 <sk_run_filter+0x26a>
809: 0f b7 06              movzwl (%rsi),%eax
80c: ff 24 c5 00 00 00 00  jmpq   *0x0(,%rax,8)
813: 44 89 e3              mov    %r12d,%ebx
816: e9 43 03 00 00        jmpq   b5e <sk_run_filter+0x3a0>
81b: 41 89 dc              mov    %ebx,%r12d
81e: e9 3b 03 00 00        jmpq   b5e <sk_run_filter+0x3a0>

Furthermore, I reordered the instructions to reduce cache line misses by
order the most common instruction to the start.
