tun: read vnet_hdr_sz 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.

Read this value once and cache locally, as it can be updated between
the test and use (TOCTOU).

virtio-net: restore VIRTIO_HDR_F_DATA_VALID on receiving

2017-01-20T16:01:17+00:00

Commit 501db511397f ("virtio: don't set VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID on
xmit") in fact disables VIRTIO_HDR_F_DATA_VALID on receiving path too,
fixing this by adding a hint (has_data_valid) and set it only on the
receiving path.

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2016-12-16T18:24:44+00:00

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:

 - more ->d_init() stuff (work.dcache)

 - pathname resolution cleanups (work.namei)

 - a few missing iov_iter primitives - copy_from_iter_full() and
   friends. Either copy the full requested amount, advance the iterator
   and return true, or fail, return false and do _not_ advance the
   iterator. Quite a few open-coded callers converted (and became more
   readable and harder to fuck up that way) (work.iov_iter)

 - several assorted patches, the big one being logfs removal

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  logfs: remove from tree
  vfs: fix put_compat_statfs64() does not handle errors
  namei: fold should_follow_link() with the step into not-followed link
  namei: pass both WALK_GET and WALK_MORE to should_follow_link()

tun: Use netif_receive_skb instead of netif_rx

2016-12-07T03:24:59+00:00

This patch changes tun.c to call netif_receive_skb instead of netif_rx
when a packet is received (if CONFIG_4KSTACKS is not enabled to avoid
stack exhaustion). The difference between the two is that netif_rx queues
the packet into the backlog, and netif_receive_skb proccesses the packet
in the current context.

This patch is required for syzkaller [1] to collect coverage from packet
receive paths, when a packet being received through tun (syzkaller collects
coverage per process in the process context).

As mentioned by Eric this change also speeds up tun/tap. As measured by
Peter it speeds up his closed-loop single-stream tap/OVS benchmark by
about 23%, from 700k packets/second to 867k packets/second.

A similar patch was introduced back in 2010 [2, 3], but the author found
out that the patch doesn't help with the task he had in mind (for cgroups
to shape network traffic based on the original process) and decided not to
go further with it. The main concern back then was about possible stack
exhaustion with 4K stacks.

[iov_iter] new primitives - copy_from_iter_full() and friends

2016-12-05T19:33:36+00:00

copy_from_iter_full(), copy_from_iter_full_nocache() and
csum_and_copy_from_iter_full() - counterparts of copy_from_iter()
et.al., advancing iterator only in case of successful full copy
and returning whether it had been successful or not.

Convert some obvious users.  *NOTE* - do not blindly assume that
something is a good candidate for those unless you are sure that
not advancing iov_iter in failure case is the right thing in
this case.  Anything that does short read/short write kind of
stuff (or is in a loop, etc.) is unlikely to be a good one.

Couple conflicts resolved here:

1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the
   RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes
   to support variable sized rings.

2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --> "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix
   overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support
   ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip.

3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the
   stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up
   and reorganized in 'net-next'.

4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in
   'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with
   Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction
   in 'net'.  It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard
   the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against
   tc_skip_sw().

5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some
   unrelated changes in 'net-next'.

6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head()
   bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of
   the same code in 'net-next'.  Since the 'net-next' code no
   longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do
   other than to simply take the 'net-next' hunks.

tun: handle ubuf refcount correctly when meet errors

2016-11-30T20:06:01+00:00

We trigger uarg->callback() immediately after we decide do datacopy
even if caller want to do zerocopy. This will cause the callback
(vhost_net_zerocopy_callback) decrease the refcount. But when we meet
an error afterwards, the error handling in vhost handle_tx() will try
to decrease it again. This is wrong and fix this by delay the
uarg->callback() until we're sure there's no errors.

tuntap: remove unnecessary sk_receive_queue length check during xmit

2016-11-24T21:06:56+00:00

After commit 1576d9860599 ("tun: switch to use skb array for tx"),
sk_receive_queue was not used any more. So remove the uncessary
sk_receive_queue length check during xmit.

virtio_net: Do not clear memory for struct virtio_net_hdr twice.

2016-11-19T15:37:03+00:00

virtio_net_hdr_from_skb() clears the memory for the header, so there
is no point for the callers to do the same.
