ppe_cb->ppe_common_cb is being dereferenced before a null check is being made on it. If ppe_cb->ppe_common_cb is null then we end up with a null pointer dereference when assigning dsaf_dev. Fix this by moving the initialisation of dsaf_dev once we know ppe_cb->ppe_common_cb is OK to dereference.

When cp_rx_poll does not get enough packet, it will check the rx interrupt status again. If so, it will jumpt to rx_status_loop again. But the goto jump resets the rx variable as zero too. As a result, it causes one possible deadloop. Assume this case, rx_status_loop only gets the packet count which is less than budget, and (cpr16(IntrStatus) & cp_rx_intr_mask) condition is always true. It causes the deadloop happens and system is blocked. Signed-off-by: NGao Feng <fgao@ikuai8.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We kept shadow copies of which interrupt sources we have enabled and disabled, but due to an order bug in how intrl2_mask_clear was defined, we could run into the following scenario: CPU0 CPU1 intrl2_1_mask_clear(..) sets INTRL2_CPU_MASK_CLEAR bcm_sf2_switch_1_isr read INTRL2_CPU_STATUS and masks with stale irq1_mask value updates irq1_mask value Which would make us loop again and again trying to process and interrupt we are not clearing since our copy of whether it was enabled before still indicates it was not.

Instead of using sock_tx_timestamp, use skb_tx_timestamp to record software transmit timestamp of a packet. sock_tx_timestamp resets and overrides the tx_flags of the skb. The function is intended to be called from within the protocol layer when creating the skb, not from a device driver. This is inconsistent with other drivers and will cause issues for TCP. In TCP, we intend to sample the timestamps for the last byte for each sendmsg/sendpage. For that reason, tcp_sendmsg calls tcp_tx_timestamp only with the last skb that it generates. For example, if a 128KB message is split into two 64KB packets we want to sample the SND timestamp of the last packet. The current code in the tun driver, however, will result in sampling the SND timestamp for both packets. Also, when the last packet is split into smaller packets for retranmission (see tcp_fragment), the tun driver will record timestamps for all of the retransmitted packets and not only the last packet.

The current scatter-gather logic in gianfar is flawed, since it does not consider the eTSEC's RxBD 'Data Length' field is context depening: for the last fragment it contains the full frame size, while fragments contain the fragment size, which equals the value written to register MRBLR. This causes data corruption as soon as the hardware starts to fragment receiving frames. As a result, the size of fragmented frames is increased by (nr_frags - 1) * MRBLR We first noticed this issue working with DSA, where an ICMP request sized 1472 bytes causes the scatter-gather logic to kick in. The full Ethernet frame (1518) gets increased by DSA (4), GMAC_FCB_LEN (8), and FSL_GIANFAR_DEV_HAS_TIMER (priv->padding=8) to a total of 1538 octets, which is fragmented by the hardware and reconstructed by the driver to a 3074 octet frame. This patch fixes the problem by adjusting the size of the last fragment. It was tested by setting MRBLR to different multiples of 64, proving correct scatter-gather operation on frames with up to 9000 octets in size.

The eTSEC register MRBLR defines the maximum space in the RX buffers and is set to 1536 by gianfar. This reasonably covers the common use case where the MTU is kept at default 1500. In that case, the largest Ethernet frame size of 1518 plus an optional GMAC_FCB_LEN of 8, and an additional padding of 8 to handle FSL_GIANFAR_DEV_HAS_TIMER totals to 1534 and nicely fit within the chosen MRBLR. Alas, if the eTSEC is attached to a DSA enabled switch, the (E)DSA header extension (4 or 8 bytes) causes every maximum sized frame to be fragmented by the hardware. This patch increases the maximum RX buffer size by 8 and rounds up to the next multiple of 64, which the hardware's defines as RX buffer granularity.

In b8247f09, "net: ip_finish_output_gso: If skb_gso_network_seglen exceeds MTU, allow segmentation for local udp tunneled skbs" gso skbs arriving from an ingress interface that go through UDP tunneling, are allowed to be fragmented if the resulting encapulated segments exceed the dst mtu of the egress interface. This aligned the behavior of gso skbs to non-gso skbs going through udp encapsulation path. However the non-gso vs gso anomaly is present also in the following cases of a GRE tunnel: - ip_gre in collect_md mode, where TUNNEL_DONT_FRAGMENT is not set (e.g. OvS vport-gre with df_default=false) - ip_gre in nopmtudisc mode, where IFLA_GRE_IGNORE_DF is set In both of the above cases, the non-gso skbs get fragmented, whereas the gso skbs (having skb_gso_network_seglen that exceeds dst mtu) get dropped, as they don't go through the segment+fragment code path. Fix: Setting IPSKB_FRAG_SEGS if the tunnel specified IP_DF bit is NOT set. Tunnels that do set IP_DF, will not go to fragmentation of segments. This preserves behavior of ip_gre in (the default) pmtudisc mode.

If DAD fails with accept_dad set to 2, global addresses and host routes are incorrectly left in place. Even though disable_ipv6 is set, contrary to documentation, the addresses are not dynamically deleted from the interface. It is only on a subsequent link down/up that these are removed. The fix is not only to set the disable_ipv6 flag, but also to call addrconf_ifdown(), which is the action to carry out when disabling IPv6. This results in the addresses and routes being deleted immediately. The DAD failure for the LL addr is determined as before via netlink, or by the absence of the LL addr (which also previously would have had to be checked for in case of an intervening link down and up). As the call to addrconf_ifdown() requires an rtnl lock, the logic to disable IPv6 when DAD fails is moved to addrconf_dad_work(). Previous behavior: root@vm1:/# sysctl net.ipv6.conf.eth3.accept_dad=2 net.ipv6.conf.eth3.accept_dad = 2 root@vm1:/# ip -6 addr add 2000::10/64 dev eth3 root@vm1:/# ip link set up eth3 root@vm1:/# ip -6 addr show dev eth3 5: eth3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000 inet6 2000::10/64 scope global valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fe43:dd5a/64 scope link tentative dadfailed valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever root@vm1:/# ip -6 route show dev eth3 2000::/64 proto kernel metric 256 fe80::/64 proto kernel metric 256 root@vm1:/# ip link set down eth3 root@vm1:/# ip link set up eth3 root@vm1:/# ip -6 addr show dev eth3 root@vm1:/# ip -6 route show dev eth3 root@vm1:/# New behavior: root@vm1:/# sysctl net.ipv6.conf.eth3.accept_dad=2 net.ipv6.conf.eth3.accept_dad = 2 root@vm1:/# ip -6 addr add 2000::10/64 dev eth3 root@vm1:/# ip link set up eth3 root@vm1:/# ip -6 addr show dev eth3 root@vm1:/# ip -6 route show dev eth3 root@vm1:/# Signed-off-by: NMike Manning <mmanning@brocade.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

It's so expensive that netperf test gives a perf output as below: Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol 18,62% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] crc32_generic_shift 2,57% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __pskb_pull_tail 1,94% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] fib_table_lookup 1,90% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string 1,66% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle 1,63% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_spin_lock 1,59% netserver [sctp] [k] sctp_packet_transmit 1,55% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] memcpy_erms 1,42% netserver [sctp] [k] sctp_rcv # netperf -H 192.168.10.1 -l 10 -t SCTP_STREAM -cC -- -m 12000 SCTP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.10.1 () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Utilization Service Demand Socket Socket Message Elapsed Send Recv Send Recv Size Size Size Time Throughput local remote local remote bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/s % S % S us/KB us/KB 212992 212992 12000 10.00 3016.42 2.88 3.78 1.874 2.462 After patch: Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol 2,75% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] memcpy_erms 2,63% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string 2,39% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] fib_table_lookup 2,04% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __pskb_pull_tail 1,91% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_spin_lock 1,91% netserver [sctp] [k] sctp_packet_transmit 1,72% netserver [mlx4_en] [k] mlx4_en_process_rx_cq 1,68% netserver [sctp] [k] sctp_rcv # netperf -H 192.168.10.1 -l 10 -t SCTP_STREAM -cC -- -m 12000 SCTP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.10.1 () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Utilization Service Demand Socket Socket Message Elapsed Send Recv Send Recv Size Size Size Time Throughput local remote local remote bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/s % S % S us/KB us/KB 212992 212992 12000 10.00 3681.77 3.83 3.46 2.045 1.849 Fixes: 3acb50c1 ("sctp: delay as much as possible skb_linearize") Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
