2011-02-11bridge: Fix timer typo that may render snooping less effectiveHerbert Xu
In a couple of spots where we are supposed to modify the port group timer (p->timer) we instead modify the bridge interface group timer (mp->timer). The effect of this is mostly harmless. However, it can cause port subscriptions to be longer than they should be, thus making snooping less effective. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-02-11bridge: Fix mglist corruption that leads to memory corruptionHerbert Xu
The list mp->mglist is used to indicate whether a multicast group is active on the bridge interface itself as opposed to one of the constituent interfaces in the bridge. Unfortunately the operation that adds the mp->mglist node to the list neglected to check whether it has already been added. This leads to list corruption in the form of nodes pointing to itself. Normally this would be quite obvious as it would cause an infinite loop when walking the list. However, as this list is never actually walked (which means that we don't really need it, I'll get rid of it in a subsequent patch), this instead is hidden until we perform a delete operation on the affected nodes. As the same node may now be pointed to by more than one node, the delete operations can then cause modification of freed memory. This was observed in practice to cause corruption in 512-byte slabs, most commonly leading to crashes in jbd2. Thanks to Josef Bacik for pointing me in the right direction.

2011-02-09netfilter: nf_conntrack: set conntrack templates again if we return NF_REPEATPablo Neira Ayuso
The TCP tracking code has a special case that allows to return NF_REPEAT if we receive a new SYN packet while in TIME_WAIT state. In this situation, the TCP tracking code destroys the existing conntrack to start a new clean session. [DESTROY] tcp 6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=38925 dport=8000 src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=8000 dport=38925 [ASSURED] [NEW] tcp 6 120 SYN_SENT src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=38925 dport=8000 [UNREPLIED] src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=8000 dport=38925 However, this is a problem for the iptables' CT target event filtering which will not work in this case since the conntrack template will not be there for the new session. To fix this, we reassign the conntrack template to the packet if we return NF_REPEAT. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2011-02-08net: Fix lockdep regression caused by initializing netdev queues too early.David S. Miller
In commit aa9421041128abb4d269ee1dc502ff65fb3b7d69 ("net: init ingress queue") we moved the allocation and lock initialization of the queues into alloc_netdev_mq() since register_netdevice() is way too late. The problem is that dev->type is not setup until the setup() callback is invoked by alloc_netdev_mq(), and the dev->type is what determines the lockdep class to use for the locks in the queues. Fix this by doing the queue allocation after the setup() callback runs. This is safe because the setup() callback is not allowed to make any state changes that need to be undone on error (memory allocations, etc.). It may, however, make state changes that are undone by free_netdev() (such as netif_napi_add(), which is done by the ipoib driver's setup routine). The previous code also leaked a reference to the &init_net namespace object on RX/TX queue allocation failures. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-02-08net/caif: Fix dangling list pointer in freed object on error.David S. Miller
rtnl_link_ops->setup(), and the "setup" callback passed to alloc_netdev*(), cannot make state changes which need to be undone on failure. There is no cleanup mechanism available at this point. So we have to add the caif private instance to the global list once we are sure that register_netdev() has succedded in ->newlink(). Otherwise, if register_netdev() fails, the caller will invoke free_netdev() and we will have a reference to freed up memory on the chnl_net_list. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently the driver increments the tx_timeout counter (an error counter) when simply resetting the part with outstanding transmit work pending. This is an unnecessary count of an error, when all we should be doing is just resetting the part and discarding the transmits. With this change the only increment of tx_timeout is when the stack calls the watchdog reset function due to a true Tx timeout.

2011-02-07x25: possible skb leak on bad facilitiesandrew hendry
Originally x25_parse_facilities returned -1 for an error 0 meaning 0 length facilities >0 the length of the facilities parsed. 5ef41308f94dc ("x25: Prevent crashing when parsing bad X.25 facilities") introduced more error checking in x25_parse_facilities however used 0 to indicate bad parsing a6331d6f9a429 ("memory corruption in X.25 facilities parsing") followed this further for DTE facilities, again using 0 for bad parsing. The meaning of 0 got confused in the callers. If the facilities are messed up we can't determine where the data starts. So patch makes all parsing errors return -1 and ensures callers close and don't use the skb further.

2011-02-04bridge: Don't put partly initialized fdb into hashPavel Emelyanov
The fdb_create() puts a new fdb into hash with only addr set. This is not good, since there are callers, that search the hash w/o the lock and access all the other its fields. Applies to current netdev tree. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-02-04r8169: prevent RxFIFO induced loops in the irq handler.Francois Romieu
While the RxFIFO interruption is masked for most 8168, nothing prevents it to appear in the irq status word. This is no excuse to crash. Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Cc: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Cc: Hayes <hayeswang@realtek.com>
2011-02-04r8169: RxFIFO overflow oddities with 8168 chipsets.Francois Romieu
Some experiment-based action to prevent my 8168 chipsets locking-up hard in the irq handler under load (pktgen ~1Mpps). Apparently a reset is not always mandatory (is it at all ?). - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_25 Missed ~55% packets. Note: - this is an old SiS 965L motherboard - the 8168 chipset emits (lots of) control frames towards the sender - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_26 The chipset does not go into a frenzy of mac control pause when it crashes yet but it can still be crashed. It needs more work. Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Cc: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Cc: Hayes <hayeswang@realtek.com>
2011-02-04r8169: use RxFIFO overflow workaround for 8168c chipset.Ivan Vecera
I found that one of the 8168c chipsets (concretely XID 1c4000c0) starts generating RxFIFO overflow errors. The result is an infinite loop in interrupt handler as the RxFIFOOver is handled only for ...MAC_VER_11. With the workaround everything goes fine.
