That last condition is unclear and over cautious.

There are two related issues here.

If a partial write is destined for a missing device, then
either RMW or RCW can work.  We must read all the available
block.  Only then can the missing blocks be calculated, and
then the parity update performed.

If RMW is not an option, then there is a complication even
without partial writes.  If we would need to read a missing
device to perform the reconstruction, then we must first read every
block so the missing device data can be computed.
This is the case for RAID6 (Which currently does not support
RMW) and for times when we don't trust the parity (after a crash)
and so are in the process of resyncing it.

So make these two cases more clear and separate, and perform
the relevant tests more  thoroughly.

Both the last two cases are only relevant if something has failed and
something needs to be written (but not over-written), and if it is OK
to pre-read blocks at this point.  So factor out those tests and
explain them.

If a non-page-aligned write is destined for a device which
is missing/faulty, we can deadlock.

As the target device is missing, a read-modify-write cycle
is not possible.
As the write is not for a full-page, a recontruct-write cycle
is not possible.

This should be handled by logic in fetch_block() which notices
there is a non-R5_OVERWRITE write to a missing device, and so
loads all blocks.

However since commit 67f45548, that code requires
STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE before it will active, and those circumstances
never set STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE.

So: in handle_stripe_dirtying, if neither rmw or rcw was possible,
set STRIPE_DELAYED, which will cause STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE be set
after a suitable delay.

Currently we try to clear EDRRR and EDTRR and immediately continue to
free buffers.  This is unsafe because:

- In general, register writes are not serialised with DMA, so we still
  have to wait for DMA to complete somehow
- The R8A7790 (R-Car H2) manual states that the TX running flag cannot
  be cleared by writing to EDTRR
- The same manual states that clearing the RX running flag only stops
  RX DMA at the next packet boundary

I applied this patch to the driver to detect DMA writes to freed
buffers:

> --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c
> +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c
> @@ -1098,7 +1098,14 @@ static void sh_eth_ring_free(struct net_device *ndev)

then ran the loop:

    while ethtool -G eth0 rx 128 ; ethtool -G eth0 rx 64; do echo -n .; done

and 'ping -f' toward the sh_eth port from another machine.  The
warning fired several times a minute.

To fix these issues:

- Deactivate all TX descriptors rather than writing to EDTRR
- As there seems to be no way of telling when RX DMA is stopped,
  perform a soft reset to ensure that both DMA enginess are stopped
- To reduce the possibility of the reset truncating a transmitted
  frame, disable egress and wait a reasonable time to reach a
  packet boundary before resetting
- Update statistics before resetting

(The 'reasonable time' does not allow for CS/CD in half-duplex
mode, but half-duplex no longer seems reasonable!)

An exception is seen in ICMP ping receive path where the skb
destructor sock_rfree() tries to access a freed socket. This happens
because ping_rcv() releases socket reference with sock_put() and this
internally frees up the socket. Later icmp_rcv() will try to free the
skb and as part of this, skb destructor is called and which leads
to a kernel panic as the socket is freed already in ping_rcv().

While being in an ERROR_WARNING state, and receiving further
bus error events with error counters still in the ERROR_WARNING
range of 97-127 inclusive, the state handling code erroneously
reverts back to ERROR_ACTIVE.

Per the CAN standard, only revert to ERROR_ACTIVE when the
error counters are less than 96.

Moreover, in certain Kvaser models, the BUS_ERROR flag is
always set along with undefined bits in the M16C status
register. Thus use bitwise operators instead of full equality
for checking that register against bus errors.

Upon receiving a hardware event with the BUS_RESET flag set,
the driver kills all of its anchored URBs and resets all of
its transmit URB contexts.

Unfortunately it does so under the context of URB completion
handler `kvaser_usb_read_bulk_callback()', which is often
called in an atomic context.

While the device is flooded with many received error packets,
usb_kill_urb() typically sleeps/reschedules till the transfer
request of each killed URB in question completes, leading to
the sleep in atomic bug. [3]

In v2 submission of the original driver patch [1], it was
stated that the URBs kill and tx contexts reset was needed
since we don't receive any tx acknowledgments later and thus
such resources will be locked down forever. Fortunately this
is no longer needed since an earlier bugfix in this patch
series is now applied: all tx URB contexts are reset upon CAN
channel close. [2]

Moreover, a BUS_RESET is now treated _exactly_ like a BUS_OFF
event, which is the recommended handling method advised by
the device manufacturer.

Not caching dst_entries which cause redirects could be exploited by hosts
on the same subnet, causing a severe DoS attack. This effect aggravated
since commit f8864972 ("ipv4: fix dst race in sk_dst_get()").

Lookups causing redirects will be allocated with DST_NOCACHE set which
will force dst_release to free them via RCU.  Unfortunately waiting for
RCU grace period just takes too long, we can end up with >1M dst_entries
waiting to be released and the system will run OOM. rcuos threads cannot
catch up under high softirq load.

Attaching the flag to emit a redirect later on to the specific skb allows
us to cache those dst_entries thus reducing the pressure on allocation
and deallocation.

Since this only triggers in some collision-cases with AUTH, the problem at
heart is that sctp_auth_key_put() on asoc->asoc_shared_key is called twice
when having refcnt 1, once directly in sctp_assoc_update() and yet again
from within sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() via sctp_assoc_update() on
the already kzfree'd memory, which is also consistent with the observation
of the poison decrease from 0x6b to 0x6a (note: the overwrite is detected
at a later point in time when poison is checked on new allocation).

Reference counting of auth keys revisited:

Shared keys for AUTH chunks are being stored in endpoints and associations
in endpoint_shared_keys list. On endpoint creation, a null key is being
added; on association creation, all endpoint shared keys are being cached
and thus cloned over to the association. struct sctp_shared_key only holds
a pointer to the actual key bytes, that is, struct sctp_auth_bytes which
keeps track of users internally through refcounting. Naturally, on assoc
or enpoint destruction, sctp_shared_key are being destroyed directly and
the reference on sctp_auth_bytes dropped.

User space can add keys to either list via setsockopt(2) through struct
sctp_authkey and by passing that to sctp_auth_set_key() which replaces or
adds a new auth key. There, sctp_auth_create_key() creates a new sctp_auth_bytes
with refcount 1 and in case of replacement drops the reference on the old
sctp_auth_bytes. A key can be set active from user space through setsockopt()
on the id via sctp_auth_set_active_key(), which iterates through either
endpoint_shared_keys and in case of an assoc, invokes (one of various places)
sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key().

sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() computes the actual secret from local's
and peer's random, hmac and shared key parameters and returns a new key
directly as sctp_auth_bytes, that is asoc->asoc_shared_key, plus drops
the reference if there was a previous one. The secret, which where we
eventually double drop the ref comes from sctp_auth_asoc_set_secret() with
intitial refcount of 1, which also stays unchanged eventually in
sctp_assoc_update(). This key is later being used for crypto layer to
set the key for the hash in crypto_hash_setkey() from sctp_auth_calculate_hmac().

To close the loop: asoc->asoc_shared_key is freshly allocated secret
material and independant of the sctp_shared_key management keeping track
of only shared keys in endpoints and assocs. Hence, also commit 4184b2a7
("net: sctp: fix memory leak in auth key management") is independant of
this bug here since it concerns a different layer (though same structures
being used eventually). asoc->asoc_shared_key is reference dropped correctly
on assoc destruction in sctp_association_free() and when active keys are
being replaced in sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key(), it always has a refcount
of 1. Hence, it's freed prematurely in sctp_assoc_update(). Simple fix is
to remove that sctp_auth_key_put() from there which fixes these panics.

    net: mv643xx_eth: Use dma_map_single() to map the skb fragments

caused a nasty regression by removing the support for highmem skb
fragments. By using page_address() to get the address of a fragment's
page, we are assuming a lowmem page. However, such assumption is incorrect,
as fragments can be in highmem pages, resulting in very nasty issues.

This commit fixes this by using the skb_frag_dma_map() helper,
which takes care of mapping the skb fragment properly. Additionally,
the type of mapping is now tracked, so it can be unmapped using
dma_unmap_page or dma_unmap_single when appropriate.

This commit also fixes the error path in txq_init() to release the
resources properly.

Fixes for sh_eth #2

I'm continuing review and testing of Ethernet support on the R-Car H2
chip.  This series fixes more of the issues I've found, but it won't be
the last set.

These are not tested on any of the other supported chips.

In order to stop the RX path accessing the RX ring while it's being
stopped or resized, we clear the interrupt mask (EESIPR) and then call
free_irq() or synchronise_irq().  This is insufficient because the
interrupt handler or NAPI poller may set EESIPR again after we clear
it.  Also, in sh_eth_set_ringparam() we currently don't disable NAPI
polling at all.

I could easily trigger a crash by running the loop:

   while ethtool -G eth0 rx 128 && ethtool -G eth0 rx 64; do echo -n .; done

and 'ping -f' toward the sh_eth port from another machine.

To fix this:
- Add a software flag (irq_enabled) to signal whether interrupts
  should be enabled
- In the interrupt handler, if the flag is clear then clear EESIPR
  and return
- In the NAPI poller, if the flag is clear then don't set EESIPR
- Set the flag before enabling interrupts in sh_eth_dev_init() and
  sh_eth_set_ringparam()
- Clear the flag and serialise with the interrupt and NAPI
  handlers before clearing EESIPR in sh_eth_close() and
  sh_eth_set_ringparam()

After this, I could run the loop for 100,000 iterations successfully.

We must only ever stop TX queues when they are full or the net device
is not 'ready' so far as the net core, and specifically the watchdog,
is concerned.  Otherwise, the watchdog may fire *immediately* if no
packets have been added to the queue in the last 5 seconds.

What's more, sh_eth_tx_timeout() will likely crash if called while
we're resizing the TX ring.

I could easily trigger this by running the loop:

   while ethtool -G eth0 rx 128 && ethtool -G eth0 rx 64; do echo -n .; done
