treewide: Add SPDX license identifier for more missed files

2019-05-21T08:50:45+00:00

Add SPDX license identifiers to all files which:

 - Have no license information of any form

 - Have MODULE_LICENCE("GPL*") inside which was used in the initial
   scan/conversion to ignore the file

These files fall under the project license, GPL v2 only. The resulting SPDX
license identifier is:

  GPL-2.0-only

Several conflicts here.

NFP driver bug fix adding nfp_netdev_is_nfp_repr() check to
nfp_fl_output() needed some adjustments because the code block is in
an else block now.

Parallel additions to net/pkt_cls.h and net/sch_generic.h

A bug fix in __tcp_retransmit_skb() conflicted with some of
the rbtree changes in net-next.

The tc action RCU callback fixes in 'net' had some overlap with some
of the recent tcf_block reworking.

tap: reference to KVA of an unloaded module causes kernel panic

2017-10-28T10:17:21+00:00

The commit 9a393b5d5988 ("tap: tap as an independent module") created a
separate tap module that implements tap functionality and exports
interfaces that will be used by macvtap and ipvtap modules to create
create respective tap devices.

However, that patch introduced a regression wherein the modules macvtap
and ipvtap can be removed (through modprobe -r) while there are
applications using the respective /dev/tapX devices. These applications
cause kernel to hold reference to /dev/tapX through 'struct cdev
macvtap_cdev' and 'struct cdev ipvtap_dev' defined in macvtap and ipvtap
modules respectively. So,  when the application is later closed the
kernel panics because we are referencing KVA that is present in the
unloaded modules.

----------8<------- Example ----------8<----------
$ sudo ip li add name mv0 link enp7s0 type macvtap
$ sudo ip li show mv0 |grep mv0| awk -e '{print $1 $2}'
  14:mv0@enp7s0:
$ cat /dev/tap14 &
$ lsmod |egrep -i 'tap|vlan'
macvtap                16384  0
macvlan                24576  1 macvtap
tap                    24576  3 macvtap
$ sudo modprobe -r macvtap
$ fg
cat /dev/tap14
^C

<...system panics...>
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa038c500
IP: cdev_put+0xf/0x30
----------8<-----------------8<----------

The fix is to set cdev.owner to the module that creates the tap device
(either macvtap or ipvtap). With this set, the operations (in
fs/char_dev.c) on char device holds and releases the module through
cdev_get() and cdev_put() and will not allow the module to unload
prematurely.

macvtap module has code for tap/queue management and link management. This patch splits
the code into macvtap_main.c for link management and tap.c for tap/queue management.
Functionality in tap.c can be re-used for implementing tap on other virtual interfaces.

macvtap: read vnet_hdr_size once

2017-02-07T03:41:27+00:00

When IFF_VNET_HDR is enabled, a virtio_net header must precede data.
Data length is verified to be greater than or equal to expected header
length tun->vnet_hdr_sz before copying.

Macvtap functions read the value once, but unless READ_ONCE is used,
the compiler may ignore this and read multiple times. Enforce a single
read and locally cached value to avoid updates between test and use.
