net: gro: fix possible panic in skb_gro_receive()

2012-12-07T19:39:29+00:00

commit 2e71a6f8084e (net: gro: selective flush of packets) added
a bug for skbs using frag_list. This part of the GRO stack is rarely
used, as it needs skb not using a page fragment for their skb->head.

Most drivers do use a page fragment, but some of them use GFP_KERNEL
allocations for the initial fill of their RX ring buffer.

napi_gro_flush() overwrite skb->prev that was used for these skb to
point to the last skb in frag_list.

Fix this using a separate field in struct napi_gro_cb to point to the
last fragment.

Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless into for-davem

2012-11-21T16:48:31+00:00

John W. Linville says:

====================
This is a batch of fixes intended for 3.7...

Included are two pulls.  Regarding the mac80211 tree, Johannes says:

"Please pull my mac80211.git tree (see below) to get two more fixes for
3.7. Both fix regressions introduced *before* this cycle that weren't
noticed until now, one for IBSS not cleaning up properly and the other
to add back the "wireless" sysfs directory for Fedora's startup scripts."

Regarding the iwlwifi tree, Johannes says:

"Please also pull my iwlwifi.git tree, I have two fixes: one to remove a
spurious warning that can actually trigger in legitimate situations, and
the other to fix a regression from when monitor mode was changed to use
the "sniffer" firmware mode."

Also included is an nfc tree pull.  Samuel says:

"We mostly have pn533 fixes here, 2 memory leaks and an early unlocking fix.
Moreover, we also have an LLCP adapter linked list insertion fix."

On top of that, a few more bits...  Albert Pool adds a USB ID
to rtlwifi.  Bing Zhao provides two mwifiex fixes -- one to fix
a system hang during a command timeout, and the other to properly
report a suspend error to the MMC core.  Finally, Sujith Manoharan
fixes a thinko that would trigger an ath9k hang during device reset.

wireless: add back sysfs directory

2012-11-16T20:37:52+00:00

commit 35b2a113cb0298d4f9a1263338b456094a414057 broke (at least)
Fedora's networking scripts, they check for the existence of the
wireless directory. As the files aren't used, add the directory
back and not the files. Also do it for both drivers based on the
old wireless extensions and cfg80211, regardless of whether the
compat code for wext is built into cfg80211 or not.

net-rps: Fix brokeness causing OOO packets

2012-11-16T19:35:56+00:00

In commit c445477d74ab3779 which adds aRFS to the kernel, the CPU
selected for RFS is not set correctly when CPU is changing.
This is causing OOO packets and probably other issues.

net: correct check in dev_addr_del()

2012-11-15T22:57:53+00:00

Check (ha->addr == dev->dev_addr) is always true because dev_addr_init()
sets this. Correct the check to behave properly on addr removal.

af-packet: fix oops when socket is not present

2012-11-07T20:40:14+00:00

Due to a NULL dereference, the following patch is causing oops
in normal trafic condition:

commit c0de08d04215031d68fa13af36f347a6cfa252ca
Author: Eric Leblond 
Date:   Thu Aug 16 22:02:58 2012 +0000

    af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout group

This buggy patch was a feature fix and has reached most stable
branches.

When skb->sk is NULL and when packet fanout is used, there is a
crash in match_fanout_group where skb->sk is accessed.
This patch fixes the issue by returning false as soon as the
socket is NULL: this correspond to the wanted behavior because
the kernel as to resend the skb to all the listening socket in
this case.

rtnetlink: Use nlmsg type RTM_NEWNEIGH from dflt fdb dump

2012-11-03T19:27:08+00:00

Change the dflt fdb dump handler to use RTM_NEWNEIGH to
be compatible with bridge dump routines.

The dump reply from the network driver handlers should
match the reply from bridge handler. The fact they were
not in the ixgbe case was effectively a bug. This patch
resolves it.

Applications that were not checking the nlmsg type will
continue to work. And now applications that do check
the type will work as expected.

net: fix secpath kmemleak

2012-10-22T19:16:07+00:00

Mike Kazantsev found 3.5 kernels and beyond were leaking memory,
and tracked the faulty commit to a1c7fff7e18f59e ("net:
netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()")

While this commit seems fine, it uncovered a bug introduced
in commit bad43ca8325 ("net: introduce skb_try_coalesce()), in function
kfree_skb_partial()"):

If head is stolen, we free the sk_buff,
without removing references on secpath (skb->sp).

So IPsec + IP defrag/reassembly (using skb coalescing), or
TCP coalescing could leak secpath objects.

Fix this bug by calling skb_release_head_state(skb) to properly
release all possible references to linked objects.

net: add doc for in4_pton()

It is not easy to use in4_pton() correctly without reading
its definition, so add some doc for it.
