      tcp: Always set urgent pointer if it's beyond snd_nxt · 7691367d
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer
      does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the
      sequence number of a packet.
      
      This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts
      the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification
      (though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible.
      Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification
      indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up.
      
      Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which
      incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and
      conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data.
      
      Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only
      if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted.  This
      way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with
      non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have
      advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent
      data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet.
      
      The only potential downside is that applications on the remote
      end may see multiple SIGURG notifications.  However, this would
      occur anyway with other TCP stacks.  More importantly, the outcome
      of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since
      the signal itself does not carry any information other than the
      fact that we're in urgent mode.
      
      Thanks to Ilpo Järvinen for fixing a critical bug in this and
      Jeff Chua for reporting that bug.

      etherh: Get working again. · 7d3d5ec1
      Russell King 提交于
      Further to a71558d0, this is round five of fixes to make etherh work
      again. As mainline kernels stand, the fixes in b9a9b4b0 were the wrong
      approach.
      
      The 8390 driver was structured by Al Viro to allow the flexibility required
      by platforms.  lib8390.c contains the core code which drivers explicitly
      include:
      - 8390.c includes lib8390.c to provide the standard ISA based driver.
      - etherh.c includes it with the accessors defined for RiscPC platforms,
        where it is addressed via the MMIO accessors with a device dependent
        register spacing.
      
      Other platform drivers do something similar.
      
      However, b9a9b4b0 caused the kernel to contain not only the etherh private
      build of lib8390 (included in etherh.c) but also lib8390.c itself, and
      referred the new net_device_ops methods to the ISA version.  The result
      of this is is not pretty:
      
      Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 12032030
      pgd = c8330000
      [12032030] *pgd=00000000

      Fix up b9a9b4b0 by making etherh's net_device_ops refer to the internal
      lib8390 functions, and remove the build of the ISA 8390.c driver.

      ixgbe: fix for 82598 Si errata causing buffer overflow · 54037505
      Don Skidmore 提交于
      The failure happens when an interrupt occurs and the driver is reading
      EICR.  This read will cause a clear-by-read which leads to two TLP
      being inserted in the PCIe retry buffer leading to an overflow of the
      buffer and corruption of TLPs.
      
      The solution is different depending where the reading of EICR takes place.
      
      For ixgbe_msix_lsc() since we are in MSIX mode and know OCD is enabled a
      clear-by-write is done instead of the normal clear-by-read.
      
      For ixgbe_intr() 0xffffffff is written to EIMC before the read, masking the
      interrupts.
