alpha: fix broken network checksum 2014-04-01T23:58:47+00:00 Mikulas Patocka mpatocka@redhat.com 2014-01-23T04:04:33+00:00 b93b90ff7c50288d602108ae1a09673df3f799a8 commit 0ef38d70d4118b2ce1a538d14357be5ff9dc2bbd upstream. The patch 3ddc5b46a8e90f3c9251338b60191d0a804b0d92 breaks networking on alpha (there is a follow-up fix 5cfe8f1ba5eebe6f4b6e5858cdb1a5be4f3272a6, but networking is still broken even with the second patch). The patch 3ddc5b46a8e90f3c9251338b60191d0a804b0d92 makes csum_partial_copy_from_user check the pointer with access_ok. However, csum_partial_copy_from_user is called also from csum_partial_copy_nocheck and csum_partial_copy_nocheck is called on kernel pointers and it is supposed not to check pointer validity. This bug results in ssh session hangs if the system is loaded and bulk data are printed to ssh terminal. This patch fixes csum_partial_copy_nocheck to call set_fs(KERNEL_DS), so that access_ok in csum_partial_copy_from_user accepts kernel-space addresses.

commit 0ef38d70d4118b2ce1a538d14357be5ff9dc2bbd upstream.

The patch 3ddc5b46a8e90f3c9251338b60191d0a804b0d92 breaks networking on
alpha (there is a follow-up fix 5cfe8f1ba5eebe6f4b6e5858cdb1a5be4f3272a6,
but networking is still broken even with the second patch).

The patch 3ddc5b46a8e90f3c9251338b60191d0a804b0d92 makes
csum_partial_copy_from_user check the pointer with access_ok. However,
csum_partial_copy_from_user is called also from csum_partial_copy_nocheck
and csum_partial_copy_nocheck is called on kernel pointers and it is
supposed not to check pointer validity.

This bug results in ssh session hangs if the system is loaded and bulk
data are printed to ssh terminal.

This patch fixes csum_partial_copy_nocheck to call set_fs(KERNEL_DS), so
that access_ok in csum_partial_copy_from_user accepts kernel-space
addresses.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
