2017-07-31udp6: fix jumbogram receptionPaolo Abeni
Since commit 67a51780aebb ("ipv6: udp: leverage scratch area helpers") udp6_recvmsg() read the skb len from the scratch area, to avoid a cache miss. But the UDP6 rx path support RFC 2675 UDPv6 jumbograms, and their length exceeds the 16 bits available in the scratch area. As a side effect the length returned by recvmsg() is: <ingress datagram len> % (1<<16) This commit addresses the issue allocating one more bit in the IP6CB flags field and setting it for incoming jumbograms. Such field is still in the first cacheline, so at recvmsg() time we can check it and fallback to access skb->len if required, without a measurable overhead.

2017-07-31ppp: Fix a scheduling-while-atomic bug in del_chanGao Feng
The PPTP set the pptp_sock_destruct as the sock's sk_destruct, it would trigger this bug when __sk_free is invoked in atomic context, because of the call path pptp_sock_destruct->del_chan->synchronize_rcu. Now move the synchronize_rcu to pptp_release from del_chan. This is the only one case which would free the sock and need the synchronize_rcu. The following is the panic I met with kernel 3.3.8, but this issue should exist in current kernel too according to the codes.

2017-07-31virtio_net: fix truesize for mergeable buffersMichael S. Tsirkin
Seth Forshee noticed a performance degradation with some workloads. This turns out to be due to packet drops. Euan Kemp noticed that this is because we drop all packets where length exceeds the truesize, but for some packets we add in extra memory without updating the truesize. This in turn was kept around unchanged from ab7db91705e95 ("virtio-net: auto-tune mergeable rx buffer size for improved performance"). That commit had an internal reason not to account for the extra space: not enough bits to do it. No longer true so let's account for the allocated length exactly. Many thanks to Seth Forshee for the report and bisecting and Euan Kemp for debugging the issue.

2017-07-31ipv4: fib: Fix NULL pointer deref during fib_sync_down_dev()Ido Schimmel
Michał reported a NULL pointer deref during fib_sync_down_dev() when unregistering a netdevice. The problem is that we don't check for 'in_dev' being NULL, which can happen in very specific cases. Usually routes are flushed upon NETDEV_DOWN sent in either the netdev or the inetaddr notification chains. However, if an interface isn't configured with any IP address, then it's possible for host routes to be flushed following NETDEV_UNREGISTER, after NULLing dev->ip_ptr in inetdev_destroy(). To reproduce: $ ip link add type dummy $ ip route add local 1.1.1.0/24 dev dummy0 $ ip link del dev dummy0 Fix this by checking for the presence of 'in_dev' before referencing it.

2017-07-31Merge branch 'tcp-remove-prequeue-and-header-prediction'David S. Miller
Florian Westphal says: ==================== tcp: remove prequeue and header prediction During a hallway discussion with Eric Dumazet at Netdev 1.2 in Tokyo some maybe-not-so-useful-anymore TCP stack features came up, among these header prediction and prequeueing. In brief, TCP prequeue assumes a single-process-blocking-read design, which is not that common anymore. The most frequently used high-performance networking program that is an excellent fit for these features is netperf. The idea behind prequeueing is to move part of tcp processing, including retransmit queue cleaning, to process context. With (e)poll designs, prequeue is always skipped, so for such programs this is dead-code removal. Header prediction is also less useful nowadays. For packet trains, GRO will do packet aggregation so we do not get the per-packet benefit that this had before GRO anymore. Because of SACK, header prediction also will be ineffective once a connection suffers even light packet losses. code removal aside, after this change processing always occurs in BH context, this allows to experiment e.g. with doing bulk freeing of skb heads when incoming ACKs clean packets from the retransmit queue. There are no changes since the RFC, except in last patch (i missed another no-longer-used mib counter). I also edited a few commit messages. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-07-31tcp: remove header predictionFlorian Westphal
Like prequeue, I am not sure this is overly useful nowadays. If we receive a train of packets, GRO will aggregate them if the headers are the same (HP predates GRO by several years) so we don't get a per-packet benefit, only a per-aggregated-packet one.
