net: pppoe: use correct channel MTU when using Multilink PPP
The PPP channel MTU is used with Multilink PPP when ppp_mp_explode() (see
ppp_generic module) tries to determine how big a fragment might be. According
to RFC 1661, the MTU excludes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, see the
corresponding comment and code in ppp_mp_explode():
/*
* hdrlen includes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, but the
* MTU counts only the payload excluding the protocol field.
* (RFC1661 Section 2)
*/
mtu = pch->chan->mtu - (hdrlen - 2);
However, the pppoe module *does* include the PPP protocol field in the channel
MTU, which is wrong as it causes the PPP payload to be 1-2 bytes too big under
certain circumstances (one byte if PPP protocol compression is used, two
otherwise), causing the generated Ethernet packets to be dropped. So the pppoe
module has to subtract two bytes from the channel MTU. This error only
manifests itself when using Multilink PPP, as otherwise the channel MTU is not
used anywhere.
In the following, I will describe how to reproduce this bug. We configure two
pppd instances for multilink PPP over two PPPoE links, say eth2 and eth3, with
a MTU of 1492 bytes for each link and a MRRU of 2976 bytes. (This MRRU is
computed by adding the two link MTUs and subtracting the MP header twice, which
is 4 bytes long.) The necessary pppd statements on both sides are "multilink
mtu 1492 mru 1492 mrru 2976". On the client side, we additionally need "plugin
rp-pppoe.so eth2" and "plugin rp-pppoe.so eth3", respectively; on the server
side, we additionally need to start two pppoe-server instances to be able to
establish two PPPoE sessions, one over eth2 and one over eth3. We set the MTU
of the PPP network interface to the MRRU (2976) on both sides of the connection
in order to make use of the higher bandwidth. (If we didn't do that, IP
fragmentation would kick in, which we want to avoid.)
Now we send a ICMPv4 echo request with a payload of 2948 bytes from client to
server over the PPP link. This results in the following network packet:
These 2976 bytes do not exceed the MTU of the PPP network interface, so the
IP packet is not fragmented. Now the multilink PPP code in ppp_mp_explode()
prepends one protocol byte (0x21 for IPv4), making the packet one byte bigger
than the negotiated MRRU. So this packet would have to be divided in three
fragments. But this does not happen as each link MTU is assumed to be two bytes
larger. So this packet is diveded into two fragments only, one of size 1489 and
one of size 1488. Now we have for that bigger fragment:
1489 (PPP payload)
+ 4 (MP header)
+ 2 (PPP protocol field for the MP payload (0x3d))
+ 6 (PPPoE header)
--------------------------
1501 (Ethernet payload)
This packet exceeds the link MTU and is discarded.
If one configures the link MTU on the client side to 1501, one can see the
discarded Ethernet frames with tcpdump running on the client. A
ping -s 2948 -c 1 192.168.15.254
leads to the smaller fragment that is correctly received on the server side:
And the ICMPv4 echo request is successfully received at the server side:
IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 21925, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1),
length 2976)
192.168.222.2 > 192.168.15.254: ICMP echo request, id 30530, seq 0,
length 2956
The bug was introduced in commit c9aa6895371b2a257401f59d3393c9f7ac5a8698
("[PPPOE]: Advertise PPPoE MTU") from the very beginning. This patch applies
to 3.10 upwards but the fix can be applied (with minor modifications) to
kernels as old as 2.6.32.
neigh: sysctl - simplify address calculation of gc_* variables
The code in neigh_sysctl_register() relies on a specific layout of
struct neigh_table, namely that the 'gc_*' variables are directly
following the 'parms' member in a specific order. The code, though,
expresses this in the most ugly way.
Get rid of the ugly casts and use the 'tbl' pointer to get a handle to
the table. This way we can refer to the 'gc_*' variables directly.
Similarly seen in the grsecurity patch, written by Brad Spengler.

net: sctp: fix information leaks in ulpevent layer
While working on some other SCTP code, I noticed that some
structures shared with user space are leaking uninitialized
stack or heap buffer. In particular, struct sctp_sndrcvinfo
has a 2 bytes hole between .sinfo_flags and .sinfo_ppid that
remains unfilled by us in sctp_ulpevent_read_sndrcvinfo() when
putting this into cmsg. But also struct sctp_remote_error
contains a 2 bytes hole that we don't fill but place into a skb
through skb_copy_expand() via sctp_ulpevent_make_remote_error().
Both structures are defined by the IETF in RFC6458:
* Section 5.3.2. SCTP Header Information Structure:
A remote peer may send an Operation Error message to its peer.
This message indicates a variety of error conditions on an
association. The entire ERROR chunk as it appears on the wire
is included in an SCTP_REMOTE_ERROR event. Please refer to the
SCTP specification [RFC4960] and any extensions for a list of
possible error formats. An SCTP error notification has the
following format:
Fix this by setting both to 0 before filling them out. We also
have other structures shared between user and kernel space in
SCTP that contains holes (e.g. struct sctp_paddrthlds), but we
copy that buffer over from user space first and thus don't need
to care about it in that cases.
While at it, we can also remove lengthy comments copied from
the draft, instead, we update the comment with the correct RFC
number where one can look it up.

aio: protect reqs_available updates from changes in interrupt handlers
As of commit f8567a3845ac05bb28f3c1b478ef752762bd39ef it is now possible to
have put_reqs_available() called from irq context. While put_reqs_available()
is per cpu, it did not protect itself from interrupts on the same CPU. This
lead to aio_complete() corrupting the available io requests count when run
under a heavy O_DIRECT workloads as reported by Robert Elliott. Fix this by
disabling irq updates around the per cpu batch updates of reqs_available.

ALSA: hda - Revert stream assignment order for Intel controllers
We got a regression report for 3.15.x kernels, and this turned out to
be triggered by the fix for stream assignment order. On reporter's
machine with Intel controller (8086:1e20) + VIA VT1802 codec, the
first playback slot can't work with speaker outputs.
But the original commit was actually a fix for AMD controllers where
no proper GCAP value is returned, we shouldn't revert the whole
commit. Instead, in this patch, a new flag is introduced to determine
the stream assignment order, and follow the old behavior for Intel
controllers.

mtd: nand: reduce the warning noise when the ECC is too weak
In commit 67a9ad9b8a6f ("mtd: nand: Warn the user if the selected ECC
strength is too weak"), a check was added to inform the user when the
ECC used for a NAND device is weaker than the recommended ECC
advertised by the NAND chip. However, the warning uses WARN_ON(),
which has two undesirable side-effects:
- It just prints to the kernel log the fact that there is a warning
in this file, at this line, but it doesn't explain anything about
the warning itself.
- It dumps a stack trace which is very noisy, for something that the
user is most likely not able to fix. If a certain ECC used by the
kernel is weaker than the advertised one, it's most likely to make
sure the kernel uses an ECC that is compatible with the one used by
the bootloader, and changing the bootloader may not necessarily be
easy. Therefore, normal users would not be able to do anything to
fix this very noisy warning, and will have to suffer from it at
every kernel boot. At least every time I see this stack trace in my
kernel boot log, I wonder what new thing is broken, just to realize
that it's once again this NAND ECC warning.
Therefore, this commit turns:

parisc: fix fanotify_mark() syscall on 32bit compat kernel
On parisc we can not use the existing compat implementation for fanotify_mark()
because for the 64bit mask parameter the higher and lower 32bits are ordered
differently than what the compat function expects from big endian
architectures.
Specifically:
It finally turned out, that on hppa we end up with different assignments
of parameters to kernel arguments depending on if we call the glibc
wrapper function
int fanotify_mark (int __fanotify_fd, unsigned int __flags,
uint64_t __mask, int __dfd, const char *__pathname);
or directly calling the syscall manually
syscall(__NR_fanotify_mark, ...)
Reason is, that the syscall() function is implemented as C-function and
because we now have the sysno as first parameter in front of the other
parameters the compiler will unexpectedly add an empty paramenter in
front of the u64 value to ensure the correct calling alignment for 64bit
values.
This means, on hppa you can't simply use syscall() to call the kernel
fanotify_mark() function directly, but you have to use the glibc
function instead.
This patch fixes the kernel in the hppa-arch specifc coding to adjust
the parameters in a way as if userspace calls the glibc wrapper function
fanotify_mark().

This patch introduces a possibility for userspace to set various (so far
two) modes of generating addresses. This is useful for example for
NetworkManager because it can set the mode to NONE and take care of link
local addresses itself. That allow it to have the interface up,
monitoring carrier but still don't have any addresses on it.
One more use-case by Dan Williams:
<quote>
WWAN devices often have their LL address provided by the firmware of the
device, which sometimes refuses to respond to incorrect LL addresses
when doing DHCPv6 or IPv6 ND. The kernel cannot generate the correct LL
address for two reasons:
1) WWAN pseudo-ethernet interfaces often construct a fake MAC address,
or read a meaningless MAC address from the firmware. Thus the EUI64 and
the IPv6LL address the kernel assigns will be wrong. The real LL
address is often retrieved from the firmware with AT or proprietary
commands.
2) WWAN PPP interfaces receive their LL address from IPV6CP, not from
kernel assignments. Only after IPV6CP has completed do we know the LL
address of the PPP interface and its peer. But the kernel has already
assigned an incorrect LL address to the interface.
So being able to suppress the kernel LL address generation and assign
the one retrieved from the firmware is less complicated and more robust.

tipc: clear 'next'-pointer of message fragments before reassembly
If the 'next' pointer of the last fragment buffer in a message is not
zeroed before reassembly, we risk ending up with a corrupt message,
since the reassembly function itself isn't doing this.
Currently, when a buffer is retrieved from the deferred queue of the
broadcast link, the next pointer is not cleared, with the result as
described above.
This commit corrects this, and thereby fixes a bug that may occur when
long broadcast messages are transmitted across dual interfaces. The bug
has been present since 40ba3cdf542a469aaa9083fa041656e59b109b90 ("tipc:
message reassembly using fragment chain")
This commit should be applied to both net and net-next.
The transport offset of the IPv4 packet should be fixed and wouldn't
be out of the hw limitation, so the r8152_csum_workaround() should
be used for IPv6 packets.
On BE3, if the clear-interrupt bit of the EQ doorbell is not set the first
time it is armed, ocassionally we have observed that the EQ doesn't raise
anymore interrupts even if it is in armed state.
This patch fixes this by setting the clear-interrupt bit when EQs are
armed for the first time in be_open().
Support the IPv6 hw checksum for RTL8111C and later chips. Note
that the hw has the limitation for the transport offset. The
checksum must be calculated by sw, when the transport offset is
out of the range which the hw accepts.
Replace large send with giant send for TSO for RTL8111C and later ICs.
The large send setting of the RTL8111DP is different from the other
chips. However, the giant send setting is the same for all the chips
which support it. Use the giant send to synchronize the settings.
To get offloads to work with Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE), the
outer transport header has to be reset after skb_push is done. This
patch has the support for this fix and hence GRE offloading.

ext4: revert commit which was causing fs corruption after journal replays
Commit 007649375f6af2 ("ext4: initialize multi-block allocator before

of the number of free blocks to become inconsistent with the number of

corruption, but it causes the kernel to potentially remount the file

powerpc/perf: Clear MMCR2 when enabling PMU
On POWER8 when switching to a KVM guest we set bits in MMCR2 to freeze
the PMU counters. Aside from on boot they are then never reset,
resulting in stuck perf counters for any user in the guest or host.
We now set MMCR2 to 0 whenever enabling the PMU, which provides a sane
state for perf to use the PMU counters under either the guest or the
host.
This was manifesting as a bug with ppc64_cpu --frequency:
$ sudo ppc64_cpu --frequency
WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 0
WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 8
...
WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 144
WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 152
min: 18446744073.710 GHz (cpu -1)
max: 0.000 GHz (cpu -1)
avg: 0.000 GHz
The command uses a perf counter to measure CPU cycles over a fixed
amount of time, in order to approximate the frequency of the machine.
The counters were returning zero once a guest was started, regardless of
weather it was still running or had been shut down.
By dumping the value of MMCR2, it was observed that once a guest is
running MMCR2 is set to 1s - which stops counters from running:
This is done unconditionally in book3s_hv_interrupts.S upon entering the
guest, and the original value is only save/restored if the host has
indicated it was using the PMU. This is okay, however the user of the
PMU needs to ensure that it is in a defined state when it starts using
it.

powerpc/kvm: Remove redundant save of SIER AND MMCR2
These two registers are already saved in the block above. Aside from
being unnecessary, by the time we get down to the second save location
r8 no longer contains MMCR2, so we are clobbering the saved value with
PMC5.
MMCR2 primarily consists of counter freeze bits. So restoring the value
of PMC5 into MMCR2 will most likely have the effect of freezing
counters.
powerpc/powernv: Check for IRQHAPPENED before sleeping
Commit 8d6f7c5a: "powerpc/powernv: Make it possible to skip the IRQHAPPENED
check in power7_nap()" added code that prevents cpus from checking for
pending interrupts just before entering sleep state, which is wrong. These
interrupts are delivered during the soft irq disabled state of the cpu.
A cpu cannot enter any idle state with pending interrupts because they will
never be serviced until the next time the cpu is woken up by some other
interrupt. Its only then that the pending interrupts are replayed. This can result
in device timeouts or warnings about this cpu being stuck.
This patch fixes ths issue by ensuring that cpus check for pending interrupts
just before entering any idle state as long as they are not in the path of split
core operations.

* Fixed a percpu memory leak on error path, also noted by Francois.
* Removed the usage of the legacy net_device irq field, requested by

* Removed the unneeded multiple Tx port support. It was hardcoded to a single
Tx port in the previous version so we decided to drop it and simplify the

"ethernet: Add new driver for Marvell Armada 375 network unit"
This patchset adds a new network driver to support the network controller
in Armada 375 SoC.
The network interfaces share a common hardware unit called Packet Processor,
which contains a common register space and per-port register spaces.
The new network unit has different RXQ and TXQ management. The ports
associate so-called per-port "logical queues" which are mapped to "physical
queues". The latter are shared among the ports.
Fo the egress part, the mapping for each port is predefined by hardware.
The egress path incorporates so-called aggregation queues (one per CPU),
from where the data is passed to the physical queues and then via prefetch
buffer to the TxDMA.
The ingress path has a Parser and Classifier (PnC) and a Buffer Manager (BM)
whose usage is obligatory. We are only implementing a simple configuration
for the Parser and Classifier, yet the code is considerably large.
This network unit has other optional features like xPON, WoL, Hardware
Forwarding, and more. This initial commit doesn't provide support for these.
The mvpp2 network driver has been written by Marcin Wojtas and then reviewed
and cleaned up by Ezequiel Garcia.
