xen/netback: shutdown the ring if it contains garbage.

2013-02-14T18:48:19Z

[ Upstream commit 48856286b64e4b66ec62b94e504d0b29c1ade664 ] A buggy or malicious frontend should not be able to confuse netback. If we spot anything which is not as it should be then shutdown the device and don't try to continue with the ring in a potentially hostile state. Well behaved and non-hostile frontends will not be penalised. As well as making the existing checks for such errors fatal also add a new check that ensures that there isn't an insane number of requests on the ring (i.e. more than would fit in the ring). If the ring contains garbage then previously is was possible to loop over this insane number, getting an error each time and therefore not generating any more pending requests and therefore not exiting the loop in xen_netbk_tx_build_gops for an externded period. Also turn various netdev_dbg calls which no precipitate a fatal error into netdev_err, they are rate limited because the device is shutdown afterwards. This fixes at least one known DoS/softlockup of the backend domain. Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell Reviewed-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Acked-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: David S.

via-rhine: Fix bugs in NAPI support.

[ Upstream commit 559bcac35facfed49ab4f408e162971612dcfdf3 ] 1) rhine_tx() should use dev_kfree_skb() not dev_kfree_skb_irq() 2) rhine_slow_event_task's NAPI triggering logic is racey, it should just hit the interrupt mask register. This is the same as commit 7dbb491878a2c51d372a8890fa45a8ff80358af1 ("r8169: avoid NAPI scheduling delay.") made to fix the same problem in the r8169 driver. From Francois Romieu.

net: loopback: fix a dst refcounting issue

2013-02-14T18:48:15Z

[ Upstream commit 794ed393b707f01858f5ebe2ae5eabaf89d00022 ] Ben Greear reported crashes in ip_rcv_finish() on a stress test involving many macvlans. We tracked the bug to a dst use after free. ip_rcv_finish() was calling dst->input() and got garbage for dst->input value. It appears the bug is in loopback driver, lacking a skb_dst_force() before calling netif_rx(). As a result, a non refcounted dst, normally protected by a RCU read_lock section, was escaping this section and could be freed before the packet being processed.

r8169: remove the obsolete and incorrect AMD workaround

2013-02-14T18:48:15Z

[ Upstream commit 5d0feaff230c0abfe4a112e6f09f096ed99e0b2d ] This was introduced in commit 6dccd16 "r8169: merge with version 6.001.00 of Realtek's r8169 driver". I did not find the version 6.001.00 online, but in 6.002.00 or any later r8169 from Realtek this hunk is no longer present. Also commit 05af214 "r8169: fix Ethernet Hangup for RTL8110SC rev d" claims to have fixed this issue otherwise. The magic compare mask of 0xfffe000 is dubious as it masks parts of the Reserved part, and parts of the VLAN tag. But this does not make much sense as the VLAN tag parts are perfectly valid there. In matter of fact this seems to be triggered with any VLAN tagged packet as RxVlanTag bit is matched. I would suspect 0xfffe0000 was intended to test reserved part only. Finally, this hunk is evil as it can cause more packets to be handled than what was NAPI quota causing net/core/dev.c: net_rx_action(): WARN_ON_ONCE(work > weight) to trigger, and mess up the NAPI state causing device to hang. As result, any system using VLANs and having high receive traffic (so that NAPI poll budget limits rtl_rx) would result in device hang.

netxen: fix off by one bug in netxen_release_tx_buffer()

[ Upstream commit a05948f296ce103989b28a2606e47d2e287c3c89 ] Christoph Paasch found netxen could trigger a BUG in its dismantle phase, in netxen_release_tx_buffer(), using full size TSO packets. cmd_buf->frag_count includes the skb->data part, so the loop must start at index 1 instead of 0, or else we can make an out of bound access to cmd_buff->frag_array[MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2] Christoph provided the fixes in netxen_map_tx_skb() function. In case of a dma mapping error, its better to clear the dma fields so that we don't try to unmap them again in netxen_release_tx_buffer() Reported-by: Christoph Paasch Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Tested-by: Christoph Paasch Cc: Sony Chacko Cc: Rajesh Borundia Signed-off-by: Christoph Paasch Signed-off-by: David S.

net/mlx4_core: Set number of msix vectors under SRIOV mode to firmware defaults

2013-02-14T18:48:11Z

[ Upstream commit ca4c7b35f75492de7fbf5ee95be07481c348caee ] The lines if (mlx4_is_mfunc(dev)) { nreq = 2; } else { which hard code the number of requested msi-x vectors under multi-function mode to two can be removed completely, since the firmware sets num_eqs and reserved_eqs appropriately Thus, the code line: nreq = min_t(int, dev->caps.num_eqs - dev->caps.reserved_eqs, nreq); is by itself sufficient and correct for all cases. Currently, for mfunc mode num_eqs = 32 and reserved_eqs = 28, hence four vectors will be enabled. This triples (one vector is used for the async events and commands EQ) the horse power provided for processing of incoming packets on netdev RSS scheme, IO initiators/targets commands processing flows, etc. Reviewed-by: Jack Morgenstein Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz Signed-off-by: David S.

net/mlx4_en: Fix bridged vSwitch configuration for non SRIOV mode

2013-02-14T18:48:10Z

[ Upstream commit 213815a1e6ae70b9648483b110bc5081795f99e8 ] Commit 5b4c4d36860e "mlx4_en: Allow communication between functions on same host" introduced a regression under which a bridge acting as vSwitch whose uplink is an mlx4 Ethernet device become non-operative in native (non sriov) mode. This happens since broadcast ARP requests sent by VMs were loopback-ed by the HW and hence the bridge learned VM source MACs on both the VM and the uplink ports. The fix is to place the DMAC in the send WQE only under SRIOV/eSwitch configuration or when the device is in selftest.
