mm: make page pfmemalloc check more robust

2015-08-21T21:30:10+00:00

Commit c48a11c7ad26 ("netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb") added
checks for page->pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc():

        if (page->pfmemalloc && !page->mapping)
                skb->pfmemalloc = true;

It assumes page->mapping == NULL implies that page->pfmemalloc can be
trusted.  However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page->mapping
to NULL and leave page->index value alone.  Due to being in union, a
non-zero page->index will be interpreted as true page->pfmemalloc.

So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page.
And it seems it can.  We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback
setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf.  There is no copying
going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which
interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops
packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to
be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and
that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the
server which has been dropped and thus never arrive.

The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another
hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead.  We can reuse the index
again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL).  This is the page
index so it should never see the value that large.  Replace all direct
users of page->pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this
nastiness from unspoiled eyes.

The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page->index
obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected
that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is
really needed (e.g.  what SLAB and SLUB do).

be2net: avoid vxlan offloading on multichannel configs

2015-08-17T21:29:58+00:00

VxLAN offloading is not functional if the NIC is running in multichannel
mode (UMC, FLEX-10, VNIC...). Enabling this additionally kills whole
connectivity through the NIC and the device needs to be down and up to
restore it. The firmware should take care about it and does not allow
the conversion of interface to tunnel type (be_cmd_manage_iface) or should
support VxLAN offloading if multichannel config is enabled.
I have tested this on the latest available firmware (10.6.144.21).

net: phy: workaround for buggy cable detection by LAN8700 after cable plugging

2015-08-17T21:27:23+00:00

* Due to HW bug, LAN8700 sometimes does not detect presence of energy in the
  Ethernet cable in Energy Detect Power-Down mode (e.g while EDPWRDOWN bit is
  set, the ENERGYON bit does not asserted sometimes). This is a common bug of
  LAN87xx family of PHY chips.
* The lan87xx_read_status() was improved to acquire ENERGYON bit. Its previous
  algorythm still not reliable on 100 % and sometimes skip cable plugging.

ppp: fix device unregistration upon netns deletion

2015-08-17T19:22:20+00:00

PPP devices may get automatically unregistered when their network
namespace is getting removed. This happens if the ppp control plane
daemon (e.g. pppd) exits while it is the last user of this namespace.

This leads to several races:

  * ppp_exit_net() may destroy the per namespace idr (pn->units_idr)
    before all file descriptors were released. Successive ppp_release()
    calls may then cleanup PPP devices with ppp_shutdown_interface() and
    try to use the already destroyed idr.

  * Automatic device unregistration may also happen before the
    ppp_release() call for that device gets executed. Once called on
    the file owning the device, ppp_release() will then clean it up and
    try to unregister it a second time.

To fix these issues, operations defined in ppp_shutdown_interface() are
moved to the PPP device's ndo_uninit() callback. This allows PPP
devices to be properly cleaned up by unregister_netdev() and friends.
So checking for ppp->owner is now an accurate test to decide if a PPP
device should be unregistered.

Setting ppp->owner is done in ppp_create_interface(), before device
registration, in order to avoid unprotected modification of this field.

Finally, ppp_exit_net() now starts by unregistering all remaining PPP
devices to ensure that none will get unregistered after the call to
idr_destroy().

Currently, if phy state is PHY_RUNNING, we always register a CHANGE

checking the phy link to make sure the link did changed before we
register a CHANGE, if link did not changed, we do nothing.

gianfar: Restore link state settings after MAC reset

2015-08-14T04:26:23+00:00

There are some MAC registers that need to be kept in sync
with the link state parameters, see adjust_link().
However, after a MAC soft reset default values for
these registers are assumed.  In some cases (excepting
if down/ if up for example) adjust_link() does not see
that these values were reset to default because the
priv->old* link parameters were left unchanged.
So, reset the priv->old* link params as well during a
MAC reset to let adjust_link() restore the MAC link
settings to the actual link state values.

Fixes following case, for example:
Setting link to 100M, changing MTU (implies MAC reset),
link state remains unchanged to 100M but MAC registers
were reset to default (1G) breaking the connectivity w/
the PHY.  Closing and re-opening the interface would
restore the MAC link parameters to the correct values.
