Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) ping_err() ICMP error handler looks at wrong ICMP header, from Li Wei. 2) TCP socket hash function on ipv6 is too weak, from Eric Dumazet. 3) netif_set_xps_queue() forgets to drop mutex on errors, fix from Alexander Duyck. 4) sum_frag_mem_limit() can deadlock due to lack of BH disabling, fix from Eric Dumazet. 5) TCP SYN data is miscalculated in tcp_send_syn_data(), because the amount of TCP option space was not taken into account properly in this code path. Fix from yuchung Cheng. 6) MLX4 driver allocates device queues with the wrong size, from Kleber Sacilotto. 7) sock_diag can access past the end of the sock_diag_handlers[] array, from Mathias Krause. 8) vlan_set_encap_proto() makes incorrect assumptions about where skb->data points, rework the logic so that it works regardless of where skb->data happens to be. From Jesse Gross. 9) Fix gianfar build failure with NET_POLL enabled, from Paul Gortmaker. 10) Fix Ipv4 ID setting and checksum calculations in GRE driver, from Pravin B Shelar. 11) bgmac driver does: int i; for (i = 0; ...; ...) { ... for (i = 0; ...; ...) { effectively corrupting the outer loop index, use a seperate variable for the inner loops.

New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO always fall backs to software GSO.

2013-02-13net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation.Pravin B Shelar
Patch cef401de7be8c4e (net: fix possible wrong checksum generation) fixed wrong checksum calculation but it broke TSO by defining new GSO type but not a netdev feature for that type. net_gso_ok() would not allow hardware checksum/segmentation offload of such packets without the feature. Following patch fixes TSO and wrong checksum. This patch uses same logic that Eric Dumazet used. Patch introduces new flag SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG if at least one frag can be modified by the user. but SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag is kept in skb shared info tx_flags rather than gso_type. tx_flags is better compared to gso_type since we can have skb with shared frag without gso packet. It does not link SHARED_FRAG to GSO, So there is no need to define netdev feature for this. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2013-02-11netpoll: Fix __netpoll_rcu_free so that it can hold the rtnl lockNeil Horman
__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 Horman
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.

2013-01-29net: disallow drivers with buggy VLAN accel to register_netdevice()Michał Mirosław
Instead of jumping aroung bugs that are easily fixed just don't let them in: affected drivers should be either fixed or have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER removed from advertised features. Quick grep in drivers/net shows two drivers that have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER but not ndo_vlan_rx_add/kill_vid(), but those are false-positives (features are commented out). OTOH two drivers have ndo_vlan_rx_add/kill_vid() implemented but don't advertise NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER. Those are: +ethernet/cisco/enic/enic_main.c +ethernet/qlogic/qlcnic/qlcnic_main.c Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-01-29pktgen: correctly handle failures when adding a deviceCong Wang
The return value of pktgen_add_device() is not checked, so even if we fail to add some device, for example, non-exist one, we still see "OK:...". This patch fixes it. After this patch, I got: # echo "add_device non-exist" > /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0 -bash: echo: write error: No such device # cat /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0 Running: Stopped: Result: ERROR: can not add device non-exist # echo "add_device eth0" > /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0 # cat /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0 Running: Stopped: eth0 Result: OK: add_device=eth0 (Candidate for -stable) Cc: David S.

2013-01-28net neigh: Optimize neighbor entry size calculation.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明
When allocating memory for neighbour cache entry, if tbl->entry_size is not set, we always calculate sizeof(struct neighbour) + tbl->key_len, which is common in the same table. With this change, set tbl->entry_size during the table initialization phase, if it was not set, and use it in neigh_alloc() and neighbour_priv(). This change also allow us to have both of protocol private data and device priate data at tha same time. Note that the only user of prototcol private is DECnet and the only user of device private is ATM CLIP. Since those are exclusive, we have not been facing issues here.

2013-01-28net: avoid to hang up on sending due to sysctl configuration overflow.bingtian.ly@taobao.com
I found if we write a larger than 4GB value to some sysctl variables, the sending syscall will hang up forever, because these variables are 32 bits, such large values make them overflow to 0 or negative. This patch try to fix overflow or prevent from zero value setup of below sysctl variables: net.core.wmem_default net.core.rmem_default net.core.rmem_max net.core.wmem_max net.ipv4.udp_rmem_min net.ipv4.udp_wmem_min net.ipv4.tcp_wmem net.ipv4.tcp_rmem Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Li Yu <raise.sail@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-01-28net: fix possible wrong checksum generationEric Dumazet
Pravin Shelar mentioned that GSO could potentially generate wrong TX checksum if skb has fragments that are overwritten by the user between the checksum computation and transmit. He suggested to linearize skbs but this extra copy can be avoided for normal tcp skbs cooked by tcp_sendmsg(). This patch introduces a new SKB_GSO_SHARED_FRAG flag, set in skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type if at least one frag can be modified by the user. Typical sources of such possible overwrites are {vm}splice(), sendfile(), and macvtap/tun/virtio_net drivers.

2013-01-22neigh: Keep neighbour cache entries if number of them is small enough.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明
Since we have removed NCE (Neighbour Cache Entry) reference from routing entries, the only refcnt holders of an NCE are its timer (if running) and its owner table, in usual cases. As a result, neigh_periodic_work() purges NCEs over and over again even for gateways. It does not make sense to purge entries, if number of them is very small, so keep them. The minimum number of entries to keep is specified by gc_thresh1. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
