      bnxt_en: Add workaround to detect bad opaque in rx completion (part 2) · fa7e2812
      Michael Chan authored
      
      
      Add detection and recovery code when the hardware returned opaque value
      does not match the expected consumer index.  Once the issue is detected,
      we skip the processing of all RX and LRO/GRO packets.  These completion
      entries are discarded without sending the SKB to the stack and without
      producing new buffers.  The function will be reset from a workqueue.

      bnxt_en: Add workaround to detect bad opaque in rx completion (part 1) · 376a5b86
      Michael Chan authored
      
      
      There is a rare hardware bug that can cause a bad opaque value in the RX
      or TPA completion.  When this happens, the hardware may have used the
      same buffer twice for 2 rx packets.  In addition, the driver will also
      crash later using the bad opaque as the index into the ring.
      
      The rx opaque value is predictable and is always monotonically increasing.
      The workaround is to keep track of the expected next opaque value and
      compare it with the one returned by hardware during RX and TPA start
      completions.  If they miscompare, we will not process any more RX and
      TPA completions and exit NAPI.  We will then schedule a workqueue to
      reset the function.
      
      This patch adds the logic to keep track of the next rx consumer index.

      For ipgre interface in collect metadata mode, it doesn't make sense for the
      interface to be of ARPHRD_IPGRE type. The outer header of received packets
      is not needed, as all the information from it is present in metadata_dst. We
      already don't set ipgre_header_ops for collect metadata interfaces, which is
      the only consumer of mac_header pointing to the outer IP header.
      
      Just set the interface type to ARPHRD_NONE in collect metadata mode for
      ipgre (not gretap, that still correctly stays ARPHRD_ETHER) and reset
      mac_header.

      openvswitch: Fix cached ct with helper. · 16ec3d4f
      Joe Stringer authored
      When using conntrack helpers from OVS, a common configuration is to
      perform a lookup without specifying a helper, then go through a
      firewalling policy, only to decide to attach a helper afterwards.
      
      In this case, the initial lookup will cause a ct entry to be attached to
      the skb, then the later commit with helper should attach the helper and
      confirm the connection. However, the helper attachment has been missing.
      If the user has enabled automatic helper attachment, then this issue
      will be masked as it will be applied in init_conntrack(). It is also
      masked if the action is executed from ovs_packet_cmd_execute() as that
      will construct a fresh skb.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by making an explicit call to try to assign
      the helper if there is a discrepancy between the action's helper and the
      current skb->nfct.

      x86/extable: ensure entries are swapped completely when sorting · 50c73890
      Mathias Krause authored
      The x86 exception table sorting was changed in commit 29934b0f
      ("x86/extable: use generic search and sort routines") to use the arch
      independent code in lib/extable.c.  However, the patch was mangled
      somehow on its way into the kernel from the last version posted at [1].
      The committed version kind of attempted to incorporate the changes of
      commit 548acf19 ("x86/mm: Expand the exception table logic to allow
      new handling options") as in _completely_ _ignoring_ the x86 specific
      'handler' member of struct exception_table_entry.  This effectively
      broke the sorting as entries will only partly be swapped now.
      
      Fortunately, the x86 Kconfig selects BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT, so the
      exception table doesn't need to be sorted at runtime. However, in case
      that ever changes, we better not break the exception table sorting just
      because of that.
      
      [ Ard Biesheuvel points out that BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT applies to the
        core image only, but we still rely on the sorting routines for modules
        in that case - Linus ]
      
      Fix this by providing a swap_ex_entry_fixup() macro that takes care of
      the 'handler' member.
