      net: check net.core.somaxconn sysctl values · 5f671d6b
      Roman Gushchin authored
      
      
      It's possible to assign an invalid value to the net.core.somaxconn
      sysctl variable, because there is no checks at all.
      
      The sk_max_ack_backlog field of the sock structure is defined as
      unsigned short. Therefore, the backlog argument in inet_listen()
      shouldn't exceed USHRT_MAX. The backlog argument in the listen() syscall
      is truncated to the somaxconn value. So, the somaxconn value shouldn't
      exceed 65535 (USHRT_MAX).
      Also, negative values of somaxconn are meaningless.
      
      before:
      $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=256
      net.core.somaxconn = 256
      $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=65536
      net.core.somaxconn = 65536
      $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=-100
      net.core.somaxconn = -100
      
      after:
      $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=256
      net.core.somaxconn = 256
      $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=65536
      error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.core.somaxconn"
      $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=-100
      error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.core.somaxconn"
      
      Based on a prior patch from Changli Gao.

      htb: fix sign extension bug · cbd37556
      stephen hemminger authored
      When userspace passes a large priority value
      the assignment of the unsigned value hopt->prio
      to  signed int cl->prio causes cl->prio to become negative and the
      comparison is with TC_HTB_NUMPRIO is always false.
      
      The result is that HTB crashes by referencing outside
      the array when processing packets. With this patch the large value
      wraps around like other values outside the normal range.

      We have the following call chain:
      
      tipc_core_start()
          ret = tipc_subscr_start()
              ret = tipc_server_start(){
                        server->enabled = 1;
                        ret = tipc_open_listening_sock()
                    }
      
      I.e., the server->enabled flag is unconditionally set to 1, whatever
      the return value of tipc_open_listening_sock().
      
      This causes a crash when tipc_core_start() tries to clean up
      resources after a failed initialization:
      
          if (ret == failed)
              tipc_subscr_stop()
                  tipc_server_stop(){
                      if (server->enabled)
                          tipc_close_conn(){
                              NULL reference of con->sock-sk
                              OOPS!
                      }
                  }
      
      To avoid this, tipc_server_start() should only set server->enabled
      to 1 in case of a succesful socket creation. In case of failure, it
      should release all allocated resources before returning.
      
      Problem introduced in commit c5fa7b3c
      
      
      ("tipc: introduce new TIPC server infrastructure") in v3.11-rc1.
      Note that it won't be seen often; it takes a module load under memory
      constrained conditions in order to trigger the failure condition.

      net/mlx4_core: Don't give VFs MAC addresses which are derived from the PF MAC · 0508ad64
      Or Gerlitz authored
      
      
      If the user has not assigned a MAC address to a VM, then don't give it MAC which
      is based on the PF one. The current derivation scheme is wrong and leads to VM
      MAC collisions when the number of cards/hypervisors becomes big enough.
      
      Instead, just give it zeros and let them figure out what to do with that.

      ipv6: prevent race between address creation and removal · 8a226b2c
      Jiri Benc authored
      
      
      There's a race in IPv6 automatic addess assignment. The address is created
      with zero lifetime when it's added to various address lists. Before it gets
      assigned the correct lifetime, there's a window where a new address may be
      configured. This causes the semi-initiated address to be deleted in
      addrconf_verify.
      
      This was discovered as a reference leak caused by concurrent run of
      __ipv6_ifa_notify for both RTM_NEWADDR and RTM_DELADDR with the same
      address.
      
      Fix this by setting the lifetime before the address is added to
      inet6_addr_lst.
      
      A few notes:
      
      1. In addrconf_prefix_rcv, by setting update_lft to zero, the
         if (update_lft) { ... } condition is no longer executed for newly
         created addresses. This is okay, as the ifp fields are set in
         ipv6_add_addr now and ipv6_ifa_notify is called (and has been called)
         through addrconf_dad_start.
      
      2. The removal of the whole block under ifp->lock in inet6_addr_add is okay,
         too, as tstamp is initialized to jiffies in ipv6_add_addr.

      ipv6: update ip6_rt_last_gc every time GC is run · 49a18d86
      Michal Kubeček authored
      
      
      As pointed out by Eric Dumazet, net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc should
      hold the last time garbage collector was run so that we should
      update it whenever fib6_run_gc() calls fib6_clean_all(), not only
      if we got there from ip6_dst_gc().

      ipv6: prevent fib6_run_gc() contention · 2ac3ac8f
      Michal Kubeček authored
      
      
      On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst
      entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of
      entries reaches gc_thresh.
      
      This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow
      only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc()
      doesn't update net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc()
      returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time
      so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in
      ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for
      the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after
      another which blocks them for quite long.
      
      Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter
      to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between
      spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with
      force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

      John W. Linville says:
      
      ====================
      This pull request is intended for the 3.11 stream.  It is a bit
      larger than usual, as it includes pulls from most of my feeder trees
      as well...
      
      For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:
      
      "A few fixes and devices ID additions for 3.11:
      
       * There are 4 new ath3k device ids
       * Fixed stack memory usage in ath3k.
       * Fixed the init process of BlueFRITZ! devices, they were failing to init
         due to an unsupported command we sent.
       * Fixed wrong use of PTR_ERR in btusb code that was preventing intel devices
         to work properly.
       * Fixed race condition between hci_register_dev() and hci_dev_open() that
         could cause a NULL pointer dereference.
       * Fixed race condition that could call hci_req_cmd_complete() and make some
         devices to fail as showed in the log added to the commit message."
      
      Regarding the NFC bits, Samuel says:
      
      "We have:
      
      1) A build failure fix for the NCI SPI transport layer due to a
         missing CRC_CCITT Kconfig dependency.
      
      2) A netlink command rename: CMD_FW_UPLOAD was merged during the 3.11
         merge window but the typical terminology for loading a firmware to a
         target is firmware download rather than upload. In order to avoid any
         confusion in a file exported to userspace, we rename this command to
         CMD_FW_DOWNLOAD."
      
      Samuel's item #2 isn't strictly a fix, but it seems safe and should
      avoid confusion in the future.
      
      As for the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
      
      "I only have three fixes this time, a fix for a suspend regression, a
      patch correcting the initiator in regulatory code and one fix for mesh
      station powersave."
      
      With respect to the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says:
      
      "We have a scan fix for passive channels, a new PCI device ID for an old
      device, a NIC reset fix, an RF-Kill fix, a fix for powersave when GO
      interfaces are present as well as an aggregation session fix (for a
      corner case) and a workaround for a firmware design issue - it only
      supports a single GTK in D3."
      
      Bringing-up the rear with the Atheros trees, Kalle says:
      
      "Geert Uytterhoeven fixed an ath10k build problem when NO_DMA=y. I added
      a missing MAINTAINERS entry for ath10k and updated ath6kl git tree
      location."
      
      Along with the above...
      
      Arend van Spriel fixes a brcmfmac WARNING when unplugging the device.
      
      Avinash Patil proves a couple of minor mwifiex fixes relating to P2P mode.
      
      Luciano Coelho updates the MAINTAINERS entry for the wilink drivers.
      
      Stanislaw Gruszka brings an rt2x00 fix for a queue start/stop problem.
      
      Stone Piao fixes another mwifiex problem, a command timeout related to P2P mode.
      
      Tomasz Moń corrects an endian problem in mwifiex.
      
      I'll remind my feeder maintainers to slowdown the patchflow.
      Beyond that, please let me know if there are problems!
