brcmfmac: avoid null pointer access when brcmf_msgbuf_get_pktid() fails

2015-05-28T13:27:44+00:00

The function brcmf_msgbuf_get_pktid() may return a NULL pointer so
the callers should check the return pointer before accessing it to
avoid the crash below (see [1]):

 6) Remove the ugly compat support in ARP for ugly layers like ax25,

 7) Support L3 forwarding offloading in switches, from Scott Feldman.

 8) Collapse the LOCAL and MAIN ipv4 FIB tables when possible, to speed
    up route lookups even further.  From Alexander Duyck.

 9) Many improvements and bug fixes to the rhashtable implementation,
    from Herbert Xu and Thomas Graf.  In particular, in the case where
    an rhashtable user bulk adds a large number of items into an empty
    table, we expand the table much more sanely.

10) Don't make the tcp_metrics hash table per-namespace, from Eric

11) Extend EBPF to access SKB fields, from Alexei Starovoitov.

12) Split out new connection request sockets so that they can be
    established in the main hash table.  Much less false sharing since
    hash lookups go direct to the request sockets instead of having to
    go first to the listener then to the request socks hashed
    underneath.  From Eric Dumazet.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition
  of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints.

  Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called
  __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be
  displayed as a a human comprehensible text.  What is placed in the
  TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that user
  space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data and
  express the values too.  Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT()
  macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty
  much exactly as is.  The problem arises when enums are used.  That's
  because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values by
  the C pre-processor.  Thus, the enum string is exported to the format
  file, and this makes it useless for user space tools.

  The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings in
  the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is shown to
  user space.  For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently has this
  in its format file:

     __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
        { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
        { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
        { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
        { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })

  After adding:

     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN);

  Its format file will contain this:

     __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
        { 0, "flush on task switch" },
        { 1, "remote shootdown" },
        { 2, "local shootdown" },
        { 3, "local mm shootdown" })"

brcmsmac: Move each system tracepoints to their own header

2015-04-08T13:39:31+00:00

Every tracing file must have its own TRACE_SYSTEM defined.
The brcmsmac tracepoint header broke this and added in the middle
of the file:

 #undef TRACE_SYSTEM
 #define TRACE_SYSTEM brcmsmac

 #undef TRACE_SYSTEM
 #define TRACE_SYSTEM brcmsmac_tx

 #undef TRACE_SYSTEM
 #define TRACE_SYSTEM brcmsmac_msg

Unfortunately, this broke new code in the ftrace infrastructure.
Moving each of these TRACE_SYSTEMs into their own trace file with
just one TRACE_SYSTEM per file fixes the issue.

The TCP conflicts were overlapping changes.  In 'net' we added a
READ_ONCE() to the socket cached RX route read, whilst in 'net-next'
Eric Dumazet touched the surrounding code dealing with how mini
sockets are handled.

With USB, it's a case of the same bug fix first going into net-next
and then I cherry picked it back into net.

cfg80211: pass name_assign_type to rdev_add_virtual_intf()

2015-03-30T08:36:17+00:00

This will expose in /sys whether the ifname of a device is set by
userspace or generated by the kernel. The latter kind (wlanX, etc)
is not deterministic, so userspace needs to rename these devices
to names that are guaranteed to stay the same between reboots. The
former, however should never be renamed, so userspace needs to be
able to reliably tell the difference.

Similar functionality was introduced for the rtnetlink core in
commit 5517750f058e ("net: rtnetlink - make create_link take name_assign_type")

The BCM43362 firmware falsely reports it is capable of providing

disable MBSS in the driver for this chipset.
