      net-timestamp: no-payload only sysctl · b245be1f
      Willem de Bruijn authored
      
      
      Tx timestamps are looped onto the error queue on top of an skb. This
      mechanism leaks packet headers to processes unless the no-payload
      options SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY is set.
      
      Add a sysctl that optionally drops looped timestamp with data. This
      only affects processes without CAP_NET_RAW.
      
      The policy is checked when timestamps are generated in the stack.
      It is possible for timestamps with data to be reported after the
      sysctl is set, if these were queued internally earlier.
      
      No vulnerability is immediately known that exploits knowledge
      gleaned from packet headers, but it may still be preferable to allow
      administrators to lock down this path at the cost of possible
      breakage of legacy applications.

      Add timestamping option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY. For transmit
      timestamps, this loops timestamps on top of empty packets.
      
      Doing so reduces the pressure on SO_RCVBUF. Payload inspection and
      cmsg reception (aside from timestamps) are no longer possible. This
      works together with a follow on patch that allows administrators to
      only allow tx timestamping if it does not loop payload or metadata.

      ====================
      switchdev offload flags
      
      This patch series introduces new offload flags for switchdev.
      Kernel network subsystems can use this flag to accelerate
      network functions by offloading to hw.
      
      I expect that there will be need for subsystem specific feature
      flag in the future.
      
      This patch series currently only addresses bridge driver link
      attribute offloads to hardware.
      
      Looking at the current state of bridge l2 offload in the kernel,
          - flag 'self' is the way to directly manage the bridge device in hw via
            the ndo_bridge_setlink/ndo_bridge_getlink calls
      
          - flag 'master' is always used to manage the in kernel bridge devices
            via the same ndo_bridge_setlink/ndo_bridge_getlink calls
      
      Today these are used separately. The nic offloads use hwmode "vepa/veb" to go
      directly to hw with the "self" flag.
      
      At this point i am trying not to introduce any new user facing flags/attributes.
      In the model where we want the kernel bridging to be accelerated with
      hardware, we very much want the bridge driver to be involved.
      
      In this proposal,
      - The offload flag/bit helps switch asic drivers to indicate that they
        accelerate the kernel networking objects/functions
      - The user does not have to specify a new flag to do so. A bridge created with
        switch asic ports will be accelerated if the switch driver supports it.
      - The user can continue to directly manage l2 in nics (ixgbe) using the
        existing hwmode/self flags
      - It also does not stop users from using the 'self' flag to talk to the
        switch asic driver directly
      - Involving the bridge driver makes sure the add/del notifications to user
        space go out after both kernel and hardware are programmed
      
      (To selectively offload bridge port attributes,
      example learning in hw only etc, we can introduce offload bits for
      per bridge port flag attribute as in my previous patch
      https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/413211/. I have not included that in this
      series)
      
      v2
         - try a different name for the offload flag/bit
         - tries to solve the stacked netdev case by traversing the lowerdev
           list to reach the switch port
      
      v3 -
          - Tested with bond as bridge port for the stacked device case.
            Includes a bond_fix_features change to not ignore the
            NETIF_F_HW_NETFUNC_OFFLOAD flag
          - Some checkpatch fixes
      
      v4 -
          - rename flag to NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD
          - add ndo_bridge_setlink/dellink handlers in bond and team drivers as
            suggested by jiri.
          - introduce default ndo_dflt_netdev_switch_port_bridge_setlink/dellink
          handlers that masters can use to call offload api on lowerdevs.

      bridge: offload bridge port attributes to switch asic if feature flag set · 68e331c7
      Roopa Prabhu authored
      
      
      This patch adds support to set/del bridge port attributes in hardware from
      the bridge driver.
      
      With this, when the user sends a bridge setlink message with no flags or
      master flags set,
         - the bridge driver ndo_bridge_setlink handler sets settings in the kernel
         - calls the swicthdev api to propagate the attrs to the switchdev
      	hardware
      
         You can still use the self flag to go to the switch hw or switch port
         driver directly.
      
      With this, it also makes sure a notification goes out only after the
      attributes are set both in the kernel and hw.
      
      The patch calls switchdev api only if BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF is not set.
      This is because the offload cases with BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF are handled in
      the caller (in rtnetlink.c).

      hso: update serial_table in usb disconnect method · 301d3b7e
      Olivier Sobrie authored
      
      
      The serial_table is used to map the minor number of the usb serial device
      to its associated context. The table is updated in the probe method and
      in hso_serial_ref_free() which is called either from the tty cleanup
      method or from the usb disconnect method.
      This patch ensures that the serial_table is updated in the disconnect
      method and no more from the cleanup method to avoid the following
      potential race condition.
      
       - hso_disconnect() is called for usb interface "x". Because the serial
         port was open and because the cleanup method of the tty_port hasn't
         been called yet, hso_serial_ref_free() is not run.
       - hso_probe() is called and fails for a new hso serial usb interface
         "y". The function hso_free_interface() is called and iterates
         over the element of serial_table to find the device associated to
         the usb interface context.
         If the usb interface context of usb interface "y" has been created
         at the same place as for usb interface "x", then the cleanup
         functions are called for usb interfaces "x" and "y" and
         hso_serial_ref_free() is called for both interfaces.
       - release_tty() is called for serial port linked to usb interface "x"
         and possibly crash because the tty_port structure contained in the
         hso_device structure has been freed.

      Olivier Sobrie authored
      
      
      The function hso_serial_common_free() is called either by the cleanup

      In the former case, the usb_disconnect() has been already called
      and the sysfs group associated to the device has been removed.
      By calling tty_unregister directly from the usb_disconnect() method,

      denoted by "hso_dev". This patch makes the hso_free_interface()
      consistent with these notations.

      hso: fix memory leak in hso_create_rfkill() · 2e6d01ff
      Olivier Sobrie authored
      
      
      When the rfkill interface was created, a buffer containing the name
      of the rfkill node was allocated. This buffer was never freed when the
      device disappears.
      
      To fix the problem, we put the name given to rfkill_alloc() in
      the hso_net structure.

      In the disconnect path, tx_buffer should freed like tx_data to avoid
      a memory leak when the device disconnects.

      hso: fix crash when device disappears while serial port is open · 29bd3bc1
      Olivier Sobrie authored
      
      
      When the device disappear, the function hso_disconnect() is called to
      perform cleanup. In the cleanup function, hso_free_interface() calls
      tty_port_tty_hangup() in view of scheduling a work to hang up the tty if
      needed. If the port was not open then hso_serial_ref_free() is called
      directly to cleanup everything. Otherwise, hso_serial_ref_free() is called
      when the last fd associated to the port is closed.
      
      For each open port, tty_release() will call the close method,
      hso_serial_close(), which drops the last kref and call
      hso_serial_ref_free() which unregisters, destroys the tty port
      and finally frees the structure in which the tty_port structure
      is included. Later, in tty_release(), more precisely when release_tty()
      is called, the tty_port previously freed is accessed to cancel
      the tty buf workqueue and it leads to a crash.
      
      In view of avoiding this crash, we add a cleanup method that is called
      at the end of the hangup process and we drop the last kref in this
      function when all the ports have been closed, when tty_port is no
      more needed and when it is safe to free the structure containing the
      tty_port structure.
