[ Upstream commit 052d41c01b3a2e3371d66de569717353af489d63 ]

After refcnt reaches zero, vlan_vid_del() could free
dev-&gt;vlan_info via RCU:

	RCU_INIT_POINTER(dev-&gt;vlan_info, NULL);
	call_rcu(&amp;vlan_info-&gt;rcu, vlan_info_rcu_free);

However, the pointer 'grp' still points to that memory
since it is set before vlan_vid_del():

        vlan_info = rtnl_dereference(dev-&gt;vlan_info);
        if (!vlan_info)
                goto out;
        grp = &amp;vlan_info-&gt;grp;

Depends on when that RCU callback is scheduled, we could
trigger a use-after-free in vlan_group_for_each_dev()
right following this vlan_vid_del().

Fix it by moving vlan_vid_del() before setting grp. This
is also symmetric to the vlan_vid_add() we call in
vlan_device_event().

commit 308453aa9156a3b8ee382c0949befb507a32b0c1 upstream.

The MAC address of the physical interface is only copied to the VLAN
when it is first created, resulting in an inconsistency after MAC
address changes of only newly created VLANs having an up-to-date MAC.

The VLANs should continue inheriting the MAC address of the physical
interface until the VLAN MAC address is explicitly set to any value.
This allows IPv6 EUI64 addresses for the VLAN to reflect any changes
to the MAC of the physical interface and thus for DAD to behave as
expected.

[ Upstream commit 9745e362add89432d2c951272a99b0a5fe4348a9 ]

The register_vlan_device would invoke free_netdev directly, when
register_vlan_dev failed. It would trigger the BUG_ON in free_netdev
if the dev was already registered. In this case, the netdev would be
freed in netdev_run_todo later.

So add one condition check now. Only when dev is not registered, then
free it directly.

The following is the part coredump when netdev_upper_dev_link failed
in register_vlan_dev. I removed the lines which are too long.

[ Upstream commit fcd91dd449867c6bfe56a81cabba76b829fd05cd ]

Currently, GRO can do unlimited recursion through the gro_receive
handlers.  This was fixed for tunneling protocols by limiting tunnel GRO
to one level with encap_mark, but both VLAN and TEB still have this
problem.  Thus, the kernel is vulnerable to a stack overflow, if we
receive a packet composed entirely of VLAN headers.

This patch adds a recursion counter to the GRO layer to prevent stack
overflow.  When a gro_receive function hits the recursion limit, GRO is
aborted for this skb and it is processed normally.  This recursion
counter is put in the GRO CB, but could be turned into a percpu counter
if we run out of space in the CB.

Thanks to Vladimír Beneš &lt;vbenes@redhat.com&gt; for the initial bug report.

<title>vlan: Do not put vlan headers back on bridge and macvlan ports</title>

<id>28f9ee22bcdd84726dbf6267d0b58f254166b900</id>
<content type='text'>
When a vlan is configured with REORDER_HEADER set to 0, the vlan
header is put back into the packet and makes it appear that
the vlan header is still there even after it's been processed.
This posses a problem for bridge and macvlan ports.  The packets
passed to those device may be forwarded and at the time of the
forward, vlan headers end up being unexpectedly present.

With the patch, we make sure that we do not put the vlan header
back (when REORDER_HEADER is 0) if a bridge or macvlan has
been configured on top of the vlan device.

When a vlan is configured with REORDER_HEADER set to 0, the vlan
header is put back into the packet and makes it appear that
the vlan header is still there even after it's been processed.
This posses a problem for bridge and macvlan ports.  The packets
passed to those device may be forwarded and at the time of the
forward, vlan headers end up being unexpectedly present.

With the patch, we make sure that we do not put the vlan header
back (when REORDER_HEADER is 0) if a bridge or macvlan has
been configured on top of the vlan device.

<title>vlan: Add GRO support for non hardware accelerated vlan</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently packets with non-hardware-accelerated vlan cannot be handled
by GRO. This causes low performance for 802.1ad and stacked vlan, as their
vlan tags are currently not stripped by hardware.

This patch adds GRO support for non-hardware-accelerated vlan and
improves receive performance of them.

Test Environment:
 vlan device (.1Q) on vlan device (.1ad) on ixgbe (82599)

<title>vlan: Correctly propagate promisc|allmulti flags in notifier.</title>

<id>be346ffaad9bc354075fba5cd009fc4519abdd64</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently vlan notifier handler will try to update all vlans
for a device when that device comes up.  A problem occurs,
however, when the vlan device was set to promiscuous, but not
by the user (ex: a bridge).  In that case, dev-&gt;gflags are
not updated.  What results is that the lower device ends
up with an extra promiscuity count.  Here are the
backtraces that prove this:
[62852.052179]  [&lt;ffffffff814fe248&gt;] __dev_set_promiscuity+0x38/0x1e0
[62852.052186]  [&lt;ffffffff8160bcbb&gt;] ? _raw_spin_unlock_bh+0x1b/0x40
[62852.052188]  [&lt;ffffffff814fe4be&gt;] ? dev_set_rx_mode+0x2e/0x40
[62852.052190]  [&lt;ffffffff814fe694&gt;] dev_set_promiscuity+0x24/0x50
[62852.052194]  [&lt;ffffffffa0324795&gt;] vlan_dev_open+0xd5/0x1f0 [8021q]
[62852.052196]  [&lt;ffffffff814fe58f&gt;] __dev_open+0xbf/0x140
[62852.052198]  [&lt;ffffffff814fe88d&gt;] __dev_change_flags+0x9d/0x170
[62852.052200]  [&lt;ffffffff814fe989&gt;] dev_change_flags+0x29/0x60

The above comes from the setting the vlan device to IFF_UP state.

[62852.053569]  [&lt;ffffffff814fe248&gt;] __dev_set_promiscuity+0x38/0x1e0
[62852.053571]  [&lt;ffffffffa032459b&gt;] ? vlan_dev_set_rx_mode+0x2b/0x30
[8021q]
[62852.053573]  [&lt;ffffffff814fe8d5&gt;] __dev_change_flags+0xe5/0x170
[62852.053645]  [&lt;ffffffff814fe989&gt;] dev_change_flags+0x29/0x60
[62852.053647]  [&lt;ffffffffa032334a&gt;] vlan_device_event+0x18a/0x690
[8021q]
[62852.053649]  [&lt;ffffffff8161036c&gt;] notifier_call_chain+0x4c/0x70
[62852.053651]  [&lt;ffffffff8109d456&gt;] raw_notifier_call_chain+0x16/0x20
[62852.053653]  [&lt;ffffffff814f744d&gt;] call_netdevice_notifiers+0x2d/0x60
[62852.053654]  [&lt;ffffffff814fe1a3&gt;] __dev_notify_flags+0x33/0xa0
[62852.053656]  [&lt;ffffffff814fe9b2&gt;] dev_change_flags+0x52/0x60
[62852.053657]  [&lt;ffffffff8150cd57&gt;] do_setlink+0x397/0xa40

And this one comes from the notification code.  What we end
up with is a vlan with promiscuity count of 1 and and a physical
device with a promiscuity count of 2.  They should both have
a count 1.

To resolve this issue, vlan code can use dev_get_flags() api
which correctly masks promiscuity and allmulti flags.
