vlan: mask vlan prio bits

2013-07-28T23:30:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit d4b812dea4a236f729526facf97df1a9d18e191c ]

In commit 48cc32d38a52d0b68f91a171a8d00531edc6a46e
("vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols")
Florian made sure we set pkt_type to PACKET_OTHERHOST
if the vlan id is set and we could find a vlan device for this
particular id.

But we also have a problem if prio bits are set.

Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a
vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device,
because skb->vlan_tci is set.

Forwarded frame is completely corrupted : We can see (8100:4000)
being inserted in the middle of IPv6 source address :

16:48:00.780413 IP6 2001:16d8:8100:4000:ee1c:0:9d9:bc87 >

       0x0000:  0000 0029 8000 c7c3 7103 0001 a0ae e651
       0x0010:  0000 0000 ccce 0b00 0000 0000 1011 1213
       0x0020:  1415 1617 1819 1a1b 1c1d 1e1f 2021 2223
       0x0030:  2425 2627 2829 2a2b 2c2d 2e2f 3031 3233

It seems we are not really ready to properly cope with this right now.

We can probably do better in future kernels :
vlan_get_ingress_priority() should be a netdev property instead of
a per vlan_dev one.

For stable kernels, lets clear vlan_tci to fix the bugs.

net: fix kernel deadlock with interface rename and netdev name retrieval.

2013-06-26T20:42:54+00:00

When the kernel (compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) is performing the
rename of a network interface, it can end up waiting for a workqueue
to complete. If userland is able to invoke a SIOCGIFNAME ioctl or a
SO_BINDTODEVICE getsockopt in between, the kernel will deadlock due to
the fact that read_secklock_begin() will spin forever waiting for the
writer process (the one doing the interface rename) to update the
devnet_rename_seq sequence.

This patch fixes the problem by adding a helper (netdev_get_name())
and using it in the code handling the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl and
SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt.

The netdev_get_name() helper uses raw_seqcount_begin() to avoid
spinning forever, waiting for devnet_rename_seq->sequence to become
even. cond_resched() is used in the contended case, before retrying
the access to give the writer process a chance to finish.

The use of raw_seqcount_begin() will incur some unneeded work in the
reader process in the contended case, but this is better than
deadlocking the system.

gso: Handle Trans-Ether-Bridging protocol in skb_network_protocol()

2013-05-08T20:13:30+00:00

Rather than having logic to calculate inner protocol in every
tunnel gso handler move it to gso code. This simplifies code.

net: Use consume_skb() to free gso segmented skb

2013-04-30T04:18:13+00:00

Use consume_skb() to free the original skb that is successfully transmitted
as gso segmented skbs so that it is not treated as a drop due to an error.

net: remove redundant code in dev_hard_start_xmit()

2013-04-25T05:38:25+00:00

This reverts commit 068a2de57ddf4f4 (net: release dst entry while
cache-hot for GSO case too)

Before GSO packet segmentation, we already take care of skb->dst if it
can be released.

There is no point adding extra test for every segment in the gso loop.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.

net: rate-limit warn-bad-offload splats.

2013-04-19T21:57:49+00:00

If one does do something unfortunate and allow a
bad offload bug into the kernel, this the
skb_warn_bad_offload can effectively live-lock the
system, filling the logs with the same error over
and over.

Add rate limitation to this so that box remains otherwise
functional in this case.

net: vlan: add 802.1ad support

2013-04-19T18:46:06+00:00

Add support for 802.1ad VLAN devices. This mainly consists of checking for
ETH_P_8021AD in addition to ETH_P_8021Q in a couple of places and check
offloading capabilities based on the used protocol.

Configuration is done using "ip link":

# ip link add link eth0 eth0.1000 \
	type vlan proto 802.1ad id 1000
# ip link add link eth0.1000 eth0.1000.1000 \
	type vlan proto 802.1q id 1000
