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. Signed-off-by:

Roopa Prabhu says: ==================== 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. ==================== Signed-off-by:

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). Signed-off-by:

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.

The function hso_serial_common_free() is called either by the cleanup method of the tty or by the usb disconnect method. 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, we avoid a warning due to the removal of the sysfs group of the usb device.

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.

NetCP on Keystone has cpsw ale function similar to other TI SoCs and this driver is re-used. To allow both ti cpsw and keystone netcp to re-use the driver, convert the cpsw ale to a module and configure it through Kconfig option CONFIG_TI_CPSW_ALE. Currently it is statically linked to both TI CPSW and NetCP and this causes issues when the above drivers are built as dynamic modules. This patch addresses this issue While at it, fix the Makefile and code to build both netcp_core and netcp_ethss as dynamic modules. This is needed to support arm allmodconfig. This also requires exporting of API calls provided by netcp_core so that both the above can be dynamic modules. Signed-off-by:

When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is used, the netdevice should be built in this link netns and moved at the end to another netns (pointed by the socket netns or IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD]). Existing user of the newlink handler will use the netns argument (src_net) to find a link netdevice or to check some other information into the link netns. For example, to find a netdevice, two information are required: an ifindex (usually from IFLA_LINK) and a netns (this link netns). Note: when using IFLA_LINK_NETNSID and IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD], a user may create a netdevice that stands in netnsX and with its link part in netnsY, by sending a rtnl message from netnsZ.
