Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

Pull networking changes from David Miller: "1) icmp6_dst_alloc() returns NULL instead of ERR_PTR() leading to crashes, particularly during shutdown. Reported by Dave Jones and fixed by Eric Dumazet. 2) hyperv and wimax/i2400m return NETDEV_TX_BUSY when they have already freed the SKB, which causes crashes as to the caller this means requeue the packet. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 3) usbnet driver doesn't allocate the right amount of headroom on fresh RX SKBs, fix from Eric Dumazet. 4) Fix regression in ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu(), as an RCU lookup it abolutely should not take a reference to 'dev', this leads to leaks. Fix from RonQing Li. 5) Fix netfilter ctnetlink race between delete and timeout expiration. From Pablo Neira Ayuso. 6) Revert SFQ change which causes regressions, specifically queueing to tail can lead to unavoidable flow starvation. From Eric Dumazet. 7) Fix a memory leak and a crash on corrupt firmware files in bnx2x, from Michal Schmidt." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: netfilter: ctnetlink: fix race between delete and timeout expiration ipv6: Don't dev_hold(dev) in ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu. wimax/i2400m: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use net/hyperv: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use net/usbnet: reserve headroom on rx skbs bnx2x: fix memory leak in bnx2x_init_firmware() bnx2x: fix a crash on corrupt firmware file sch_sfq: revert dont put new flow at the end of flows ipv6: fix icmp6_dst_alloc()

wimax/i2400m: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use

2012-03-16T09:01:41Z

A driver start_xmit() method cannot free skb and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, since caller is going to reuse freed skb. In fact netif_tx_stop_queue() / netif_stop_queue() is needed before returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY or you can trigger a ksoftirqd fatal loop. In case of memory allocation error, only safe way is to drop the packet and return NETDEV_TX_OK Also increments tx_dropped counter Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez Signed-off-by: David S.

net/hyperv: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use

2012-03-16T09:01:17Z

A driver start_xmit() method cannot free skb and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, since caller is going to reuse freed skb. This is mostly a revert of commit bf769375c (staging: hv: fix the return status of netvsc_start_xmit()) In fact netif_tx_stop_queue() / netif_stop_queue() is needed before returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY or you can trigger a ksoftirqd fatal loop. In case of memory allocation error, only safe way is to drop the packet and return NETDEV_TX_OK Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: "K. Y.

net/usbnet: reserve headroom on rx skbs

2012-03-16T09:01:05Z

network drivers should reserve some headroom on incoming skbs so that we dont need expensive reallocations, eg forwarding packets in tunnels. This NET_SKB_PAD padding is done in various helpers, like __netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() in this patch, combining NET_SKB_PAD and NET_IP_ALIGN magic.

bnx2x: fix memory leak in bnx2x_init_firmware()

2012-03-16T08:57:26Z

When cycling the interface down and up, bnx2x_init_firmware() knows that the firmware is already loaded, but nevertheless it allocates certain arrays anew (init_data, init_ops, init_ops_offsets, iro_arr). The old arrays are leaked. Fix the leaks by returning early if the firmware was already loaded. Because if the firmware is loaded, so are the arrays.

bnx2x: fix a crash on corrupt firmware file

2012-03-16T08:57:26Z

If the requested firmware is deemed corrupt and then released, reset the pointer to NULL in order to avoid double-freeing it in bnx2x_release_firmware() or dereferencing it in bnx2x_init_firmware(). Signed-off-by: Michal Schmidt Acked-by: Eilon Greenstein Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
