Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "Mostly these are fixes for fallout due to merge window changes, as well as cures for problems that have been with us for a much longer period of time" 1) Johannes Berg noticed two major deficiencies in our genetlink registration. Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant counts for their ops array rather than something like ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar. Also, some genetlink protocols were using fixed IDs for their multicast groups. We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by other protocols can not possibly conflict. In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state management for genetlink operations and multicast groups. 2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value is one the driver actually supports. From Ben Hutchings. 3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar. 4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb->protocol in the right order relative to skb_scrub_packet(). From Alexei Starovoitov. 5) Bridge erroneously fails to use the proper wrapper functions to make calls to netdev_ops->ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid. Fix from Toshiaki Makita. 6) When detaching a bridge port, make sure to flush all VLAN IDs to prevent them from leaking, also from Toshiaki Makita. 7) Put in a compromise for TCP Small Queues so that deep queued devices that delay TX reclaim non-trivially don't have such a performance decrease. One particularly problematic area is 802.11 AMPDU in wireless. From Eric Dumazet. 8) Fix crashes in tcp_fastopen_cache_get(), we can see NULL socket dsts here. Fix from Eric Dumzaet, reported by Dave Jones. 9) Fix use after free in ipv6 SIT driver, from Willem de Bruijn. 10) When computing mergeable buffer sizes, virtio-net fails to take the virtio-net header into account. From Michael Dalton. 11) Fix seqlock deadlock in ip4_datagram_connect() wrt. statistic bumping, this one has been with us for a while. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Fix NULL deref in the new TIPC fragmentation handling, from Erik Hugne. 13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka Rissanen. 14) macvlan has the same issue as normal vlans did wrt. propagating LRO disabling down to the real device, fix it the same way. From Michal Kubecek. 15) CPSW driver needs to soft reset all slaves during suspend, from Daniel Mack. 16) Fix small frame pacing in FQ packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet. 17) The xen-netfront RX buffer refill timer isn't properly scheduled on partial RX allocation success, from Ma JieYue. 18) When ipv6 ping protocol support was added, the AF_INET6 protocol initialization cleanup path on failure was borked a little. Fix from Vlad Yasevich. 19) If a socket disconnects during a read/recvmsg/recvfrom/etc that blocks we can do the wrong thing with the msg_name we write back to userspace. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. There is another fix in the works from Hannes which will prevent future problems of this nature. 20) Fix route leak in VTI tunnel transmit, from Fan Du. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (106 commits) genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse genetlink: pass family to functions using groups genetlink: add and use genl_set_err() genetlink: remove family pointer from genl_multicast_group genetlink: remove genl_unregister_mc_group() hsr: don't call genl_unregister_mc_group() quota/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIs drop_monitor/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIs genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops() tcp: don't update snd_nxt, when a socket is switched from repair mode atm: idt77252: fix dev refcnt leak xfrm: Release dst if this dst is improper for vti tunnel netlink: fix documentation typo in netlink_set_err() be2net: Delete secondary unicast MAC addresses during be_close be2net: Fix unconditional enabling of Rx interface options net, virtio_net: replace the magic value ping: prevent NULL pointer dereference on write to msg_name bnx2x: Prevent "timeout waiting for state X" bnx2x: prevent CFC attention bnx2x: Prevent panic during DMAE timeout ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "This has tons of fixes and two major features which are concentrated around the Xen SWIOTLB library. The short <blurb> is that the tracing facility (just one function) has been added to SWIOTLB to make it easier to track I/O progress. Additionally under Xen and ARM (32 & 64) the Xen-SWIOTLB driver "is used to translate physical to machine and machine to physical addresses of foreign[guest] pages for DMA operations" (Stefano) when booting under hardware without proper IOMMU. There are also bug-fixes, cleanups, compile warning fixes, etc. The commit times for some of the commits is a bit fresh - that is b/c we wanted to make sure we have the Ack's from the ARM folks - which with the string of back-to-back conferences took a bit of time. Rest assured - the code has been stewing in #linux-next for some time. Features: - SWIOTLB has tracing added when doing bounce buffer. - Xen ARM/ARM64 can use Xen-SWIOTLB. This work allows Linux to safely program real devices for DMA operations when running as a guest on Xen on ARM, without IOMMU support. [*1] - xen_raw_printk works with PVHVM guests if needed. Bug-fixes: - Make memory ballooning work under HVM with large MMIO region. - Inform hypervisor of MCFG regions found in ACPI DSDT. - Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED. - Remove deprecated __cpuinit. [*1]: "On arm and arm64 all Xen guests, including dom0, run with second stage translation enabled. As a consequence when dom0 programs a device for a DMA operation is going to use (pseudo) physical addresses instead machine addresses. This work introduces two trees to track physical to machine and machine to physical mappings of foreign pages. Local pages are assumed mapped 1:1 (physical address == machine address). It enables the SWIOTLB-Xen driver on ARM and ARM64, so that Linux can translate physical addresses to machine addresses for dma operations when necessary.

2013-11-15vsprintf: ignore %n againKees Cook
This ignores %n in printf again, as was originally documented. Implementing %n poses a greater security risk than utility, so it should stay ignored. To help anyone attempting to use %n, a warning will be emitted if it is encountered. Based on an earlier patch by Joe Perches. Because %n was designed to write to pointers on the stack, it has been frequently used as an attack vector when bugs are found that leak user-controlled strings into functions that ultimately process format strings. While this class of bug can still be turned into an information leak, removing %n eliminates the common method of elevating such a bug into an arbitrary kernel memory writing primitive, significantly reducing the danger of this class of bug. For seq_file users that need to know the length of a written string for padding, please see seq_setwidth() and seq_pad() instead.

2013-11-14Merge branch 'for-3.13/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-blockLinus Torvalds
Pull block IO core updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the pull request for the core changes in the block layer for 3.13. It contains: - The new blk-mq request interface. This is a new and more scalable queueing model that marries the best part of the request based interface we currently have (which is fully featured, but scales poorly) and the bio based "interface" which the new drivers for high IOPS devices end up using because it's much faster than the request based one. The bio interface has no block layer support, since it taps into the stack much earlier. This means that drivers end up having to implement a lot of functionality on their own, like tagging, timeout handling, requeue, etc. The blk-mq interface provides all these. Some drivers even provide a switch to select bio or rq and has code to handle both, since things like merging only works in the rq model and hence is faster for some workloads. This is a huge mess. Conversion of these drivers nets us a substantial code reduction. Initial results on converting SCSI to this model even shows an 8x improvement on single queue devices. So while the model was intended to work on the newer multiqueue devices, it has substantial improvements for "classic" hardware as well. This code has gone through extensive testing and development, it's now ready to go. A pull request is coming to convert virtio-blk to this model will be will be coming as well, with more drivers scheduled for 3.14 conversion. - Two blktrace fixes from Jan and Chen Gang. - A plug merge fix from Alireza Haghdoost. - Conversion of __get_cpu_var() from Christoph Lameter. - Fix for sector_div() with 64-bit divider from Geert Uytterhoeven. - A fix for a race between request completion and the timeout handling from Jeff Moyer. This is what caused the merge conflict with blk-mq/core, in case you are looking at that. - A dm stacking fix from Mike Snitzer. - A code consolidation fix and duplicated code removal from Kent Overstreet. - A handful of block bug fixes from Mikulas Patocka, fixing a loop crash and memory corruption on blk cg. - Elevator switch bug fix from Tomoki Sekiyama. A heads-up that I had to rebase this branch. Initially the immutable bio_vecs had been queued up for inclusion, but a week later, it became clear that it wasn't fully cooked yet. So the decision was made to pull this out and postpone it until 3.14. It was a straight forward rebase, just pruning out the immutable series and the later fixes of problems with it.

2013-11-13Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-nextLinus Torvalds
Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) The addition of nftables. No longer will we need protocol aware firewall filtering modules, it can all live in userspace. At the core of nftables is a, for lack of a better term, virtual machine that executes byte codes to inspect packet or metadata (arriving interface index, etc.) and make verdict decisions. Besides support for loading packet contents and comparing them, the interpreter supports lookups in various datastructures as fundamental operations. For example sets are supports, and therefore one could create a set of whitelist IP address entries which have ACCEPT verdicts attached to them, and use the appropriate byte codes to do such lookups. Since the interpreted code is composed in userspace, userspace can do things like optimize things before giving it to the kernel. Another major improvement is the capability of atomically updating portions of the ruleset. In the existing netfilter implementation, one has to update the entire rule set in order to make a change and this is very expensive. Userspace tools exist to create nftables rules using existing netfilter rule sets, but both kernel implementations will need to co-exist for quite some time as we transition from the old to the new stuff. Kudos to Patrick McHardy, Pablo Neira Ayuso, and others who have worked so hard on this. 2) Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa made several improvements to our pseudo-random number generator, mostly used for things like UDP port randomization and netfitler, amongst other things. In particular the taus88 generater is updated to taus113, and test cases are added. 3) Support 64-bit rates in HTB and TBF schedulers, from Eric Dumazet and Yang Yingliang. 4) Add support for new 577xx tigon3 chips to tg3 driver, from Nithin Sujir. 5) Fix two fatal flaws in TCP dynamic right sizing, from Eric Dumazet, Neal Cardwell, and Yuchung Cheng. 6) Allow IP_TOS and IP_TTL to be specified in sendmsg() ancillary control message data, much like other socket option attributes. From Francesco Fusco. 7) Allow applications to specify a cap on the rate computed automatically by the kernel for pacing flows, via a new SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option. From Eric Dumazet. 8) Make the initial autotuned send buffer sizing in TCP more closely reflect actual needs, from Eric Dumazet. 9) Currently early socket demux only happens for TCP sockets, but we can do it for connected UDP sockets too. Implementation from Shawn Bohrer. 10) Refactor inet socket demux with the goal of improving hash demux performance for listening sockets. With the main goals being able to use RCU lookups on even request sockets, and eliminating the listening lock contention. From Eric Dumazet. 11) The bonding layer has many demuxes in it's fast path, and an RCU conversion was started back in 3.11, several changes here extend the RCU usage to even more locations. From Ding Tianhong and Wang Yufen, based upon suggestions by Nikolay Aleksandrov and Veaceslav Falico. 12) Allow stackability of segmentation offloads to, in particular, allow segmentation offloading over tunnels. From Eric Dumazet. 13) Significantly improve the handling of secret keys we input into the various hash functions in the inet hashtables, TCP fast open, as well as syncookies. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. The key fundamental operation is "net_get_random_once()" which uses static keys. Hannes even extended this to ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation handling and our generic flow dissector. 14) The generic driver layer takes care now to set the driver data to NULL on device removal, so it's no longer necessary for drivers to explicitly set it to NULL any more. Many drivers have been cleaned up in this way, from Jingoo Han. 15) Add a BPF based packet scheduler classifier, from Daniel Borkmann. 16) Improve CRC32 interfaces and generic SKB checksum iterators so that SCTP's checksumming can more cleanly be handled. Also from Daniel Borkmann. 17) Add a new PMTU discovery mode, IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE, which forces using the interface MTU value. This helps avoid PMTU attacks, particularly on DNS servers. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 18) Use generic XPS for transmit queue steering rather than internal (re-)implementation in virtio-net.

2013-11-13vsprintf: check real user/group id for %pKRyan Mallon
Some setuid binaries will allow reading of files which have read permission by the real user id. This is problematic with files which use %pK because the file access permission is checked at open() time, but the kptr_restrict setting is checked at read() time. If a setuid binary opens a %pK file as an unprivileged user, and then elevates permissions before reading the file, then kernel pointer values may be leaked. This happens for example with the setuid pppd application on Ubuntu 12.04: $ head -1 /proc/kallsyms 00000000 T startup_32 $ pppd file /proc/kallsyms pppd: In file /proc/kallsyms: unrecognized option 'c1000000' This will only leak the pointer value from the first line, but other setuid binaries may leak more information. Fix this by adding a check that in addition to the current process having CAP_SYSLOG, that effective user and group ids are equal to the real ids. If a setuid binary reads the contents of a file which uses %pK then the pointer values will be printed as NULL if the real user is unprivileged. Update the sysctl documentation to reflect the changes, and also correct the documentation to state the kptr_restrict=0 is the default. This is a only temporary solution to the issue. The correct solution is to do the permission check at open() time on files, and to replace %pK with a function which checks the open() time permission. %pK uses in printk should be removed since no sane permission check can be done, and instead protected by using dmesg_restrict.

2013-11-13mm: do not walk all of system memory during show_memMel Gorman
It has been reported on very large machines that show_mem is taking almost 5 minutes to display information. This is a serious problem if there is an OOM storm. The bulk of the cost is in show_mem doing a very expensive PFN walk to give us the following information Total RAM: Also available as totalram_pages Highmem pages: Also available as totalhigh_pages Reserved pages: Can be inferred from the zone structure Shared pages: PFN walk required Unshared pages: PFN walk required Quick pages: Per-cpu walk required Only the shared/unshared pages requires a full PFN walk but that information is useless. It is also inaccurate as page pins of unshared pages would be accounted for as shared. Even if the information was accurate, I'm struggling to think how the shared/unshared information could be useful for debugging OOM conditions. Maybe it was useful before rmap existed when reclaiming shared pages was costly but it is less relevant today. The PFN walk could be optimised a bit but why bother as the information is useless. This patch deletes the PFN walker and infers the total RAM, highmem and reserved pages count from struct zone. It omits the shared/unshared page usage on the grounds that it is useless. It also corrects the reporting of HighMem as HighMem/MovableOnly as ZONE_MOVABLE has similar problems to HighMem with respect to lowmem/highmem exhaustion.

2013-11-11random32: add test cases for taus113 implementationDaniel Borkmann
We generated a battery of 100 test cases from GSL taus113 implemention and compare the results from a particular seed and a particular iteration with our implementation in the kernel. We have verified on 32 and 64 bit machines that our taus113 kernel implementation gives same results as GSL taus113 implementation: [ 0.147370] prandom: seed boundary self test passed [ 0.148078] prandom: 100 self tests passed This is a Kconfig option that is disabled on default, just like the crc32 init selftests in order to not unnecessary slow down boot process. We also refactored out prandom_seed_very_weak() as it's now used in multiple places in order to reduce redundant code. GSL code we used for generating test cases: int i, j; srand(time(NULL)); for (i = 0; i < 100; ++i) { int iteration = 500 + (rand() % 500); gsl_rng_default_seed = rand() + 1; gsl_rng *r = gsl_rng_alloc(gsl_rng_taus113); printf("\t{ %lu, ", gsl_rng_default_seed); for (j = 0; j < iteration - 1; ++j) gsl_rng_get(r); printf("%u, %lu },\n", iteration, gsl_rng_get(r)); gsl_rng_free(r); } Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.

2013-11-11random32: upgrade taus88 generator to taus113 from errata paperDaniel Borkmann
Since we use prandom*() functions quite often in networking code i.e. in UDP port selection, netfilter code, etc, upgrade the PRNG from Pierre L'Ecuyer's original paper "Maximally Equidistributed Combined Tausworthe Generators", Mathematics of Computation, 65, 213 (1996), 203--213 to the version published in his errata paper [1]. The Tausworthe generator is a maximally-equidistributed generator, that is fast and has good statistical properties [1]. The version presented there upgrades the 3 state LFSR to a 4 state LFSR with increased periodicity from about 2^88 to 2^113. The algorithm is presented in [1] by the very same author who also designed the original algorithm in [2]. Also, by increasing the state, we make it a bit harder for attackers to "guess" the PRNGs internal state. See also discussion in [3]. Now, as we use this sort of weak initialization discussed in [3] only between core_initcall() until late_initcall() time [*] for prandom32*() users, namely in prandom_init(), it is less relevant from late_initcall() onwards as we overwrite seeds through prandom_reseed() anyways with a seed source of higher entropy, that is, get_random_bytes(). In other words, a exhaustive keysearch of 96 bit would be needed. Now, with the help of this patch, this state-search increases further to 128 bit. Initialization needs to make sure that s1 > 1, s2 > 7, s3 > 15, s4 > 127. taus88 and taus113 algorithm is also part of GSL. I added a test case in the next patch to verify internal behaviour of this patch with GSL and ran tests with the dieharder 3.31.1 RNG test suite: $ dieharder -g 052 -a -m 10 -s 1 -S 4137730333 #taus88 $ dieharder -g 054 -a -m 10 -s 1 -S 4137730333 #taus113 With this seed configuration, in order to compare both, we get the following differences: algorithm taus88 taus113 rands/second [**] 1.61e+08 1.37e+08 sts_serial(4, 1st run) WEAK PASSED sts_serial(9, 2nd run) WEAK PASSED rgb_lagged_sum(31) WEAK PASSED We took out diehard_sums test as according to the authors it is considered broken and unusable [4]. Despite that and the slight decrease in performance (which is acceptable), taus113 here passes all 113 tests (only rgb_minimum_distance_5 in WEAK, the rest PASSED). In general, taus/taus113 is considered "very good" by the authors of dieharder [5]. The papers [1][2] states a single warm-up step is sufficient by running quicktaus once on each state to ensure proper initialization of ~s_{0}: Our selection of (s) according to Table 1 of [1] row 1 holds the condition L - k <= r - s, that is, (32 32 32 32) - (31 29 28 25) <= (25 27 15 22) - (18 2 7 13) with r = k - q and q = (6 2 13 3) as also stated by the paper. So according to [2] we are safe with one round of quicktaus for initialization. However we decided to include the warm-up phase of the PRNG as done in GSL in every case as a safety net. We also use the warm up phase to make the output of the RNG easier to verify by the GSL output. In prandom_init(), we also mix random_get_entropy() into it, just like drivers/char/random.c does it, jiffies ^ random_get_entropy(). random-get_entropy() is get_cycles(). xor is entropy preserving so it is fine if it is not implemented by some architectures. Note, this PRNG is *not* used for cryptography in the kernel, but rather as a fast PRNG for various randomizations i.e. in the networking code, or elsewhere for debugging purposes, for example. [*]: In order to generate some "sort of pseduo-randomness", since get_random_bytes() is not yet available for us, we use jiffies and initialize states s1 - s3 with a simple linear congruential generator (LCG), that is x <- x * 69069; and derive s2, s3, from the 32bit initialization from s1. So the above quote from [3] accounts only for the time from core to late initcall, not afterwards.

2013-11-11random32: add prandom_reseed_late() and call when nonblocking pool becomes ↵Hannes Frederic Sowa
initialized The Tausworthe PRNG is initialized at late_initcall time. At that time the entropy pool serving get_random_bytes is not filled sufficiently. This patch adds an additional reseeding step as soon as the nonblocking pool gets marked as initialized. On some machines it might be possible that late_initcall gets called after the pool has been initialized. In this situation we won't reseed again. (A call to prandom_seed_late blocks later invocations of early reseed attempts.) Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

2013-11-11random32: add periodic reseedingHannes Frederic Sowa
The current Tausworthe PRNG is never reseeded with truly random data after the first attempt in late_initcall. As this PRNG is used for some critical random data as e.g. UDP port randomization we should try better and reseed the PRNG once in a while with truly random data from get_random_bytes(). When we reseed with prandom_seed we now make also sure to throw the first output away. This suffices the reseeding procedure. The delay calculation is based on a proposal from Eric Dumazet.

2013-11-11random32: fix off-by-one in seeding requirementDaniel Borkmann
For properly initialising the Tausworthe generator [1], we have a strict seeding requirement, that is, s1 > 1, s2 > 7, s3 > 15. Commit 697f8d0348 ("random32: seeding improvement") introduced a __seed() function that imposes boundary checks proposed by the errata paper [2] to properly ensure above conditions. However, we're off by one, as the function is implemented as: "return (x < m) ? x + m : x;", and called with __seed(X, 1), __seed(X, 7), __seed(X, 15). Thus, an unwanted seed of 1, 7, 15 would be possible, whereas the lower boundary should actually be of at least 2, 8, 16, just as GSL does. Fix this, as otherwise an initialization with an unwanted seed could have the effect that Tausworthe's PRNG properties cannot not be ensured. Note that this PRNG is *not* used for cryptography in the kernel.

2013-10-31lib/scatterlist.c: don't flush_kernel_dcache_page on slab pageMing Lei
Commit b1adaf65ba03 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are written to. Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug: - Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page finally - According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page. - ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered. Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled, and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)' before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

2013-10-29Kconfig: make KOBJECT_RELEASE debugging require timer debuggingLinus Torvalds
Without the timer debugging, the delayed kobject release will just result in undebuggable oopses if it triggers any latent bugs. That doesn't actually help debugging at all. So make DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE depend on DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS to avoid having people enable one without the other. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-10-25percpu_ida: add an API to return free tagsShaohua Li
Add an API to return free tags, blk-mq-tag will use it. Note, this just returns a snapshot of free tags number. blk-mq-tag has two usages of it. One is for info output for diagnosis. The other is to quickly check if there are free tags for request dispatch checking. Neither requires very precise.

2013-10-25percpu_ida: add percpu_ida_for_each_freeShaohua Li
Add a new API to iterate free ids. blk-mq-tag will use it. Note, this doesn't guarantee to iterate all free ids restrictly. Caller should be aware of this. blk-mq uses it to do sanity check for request timedout, so can tolerate the limitation.

2013-10-25percpu_ida: make percpu_ida percpu size/batch configurableShaohua Li
Make percpu_ida percpu size/batch configurable. The block-mq-tag will use it. After block-mq uses percpu_ida to manage tags, performance is improved. My test is done in a 2 sockets machine, 12 process cross the 2 sockets. So if there is lock contention or ipi, should be stressed heavily. Testing is done for null-blk. hw_queue_depth nopatch iops patch iops 64 ~800k/s ~1470k/s 2048 ~4470k/s ~4340k/s Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fusionio.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2013-10-25percpu_counter: make APIs irq safeShaohua Li
In my usage, sometimes the percpu APIs are called with irq locked, sometimes not. lockdep complains there is potential deadlock. Let's always use percpucounter lock in irq safe way. There should be no performance penality, as all those are slow code path.
