2014-02-20xfrm: Fix NULL pointer dereference on sub policy usageSteffen Klassert
xfrm_state_sort() takes the unsorted states from the src array and stores them into the dst array. We try to get the namespace from the dst array which is empty at this time, so take the namespace from the src array instead.

2014-02-20mac80211: fix station wakeup powersave raceJohannes Berg
Consider the following (relatively unlikely) scenario: 1) station goes to sleep while frames are buffered in driver 2) driver blocks wakeup (until no more frames are buffered) 3) station wakes up again 4) driver unblocks wakeup In this case, the current mac80211 code will do the following: 1) WLAN_STA_PS_STA set 2) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER set 3) - nothing - 4) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER cleared As a result, no frames will be delivered to the client, even though it is awake, until it sends another frame to us that triggers ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() in sta_ps_end(). Since we now take the PS spinlock, we can fix this while at the same time removing the complexity with the pending skb queue function. This was broken since my commit 50a9432daeec ("mac80211: fix powersaving clients races") due to removing the clearing of WLAN_STA_PS_STA in the RX path. While at it, fix a cleanup path issue when a station is removed while the driver is still blocking its wakeup. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-02-20mac80211: insert stations before adding to driverJohannes Berg
There's a race condition in mac80211 because we add stations to the internal lists after adding them to the driver, which means that (for example) the following can happen: 1. a station connects and is added 2. first, it is added to the driver 3. then, it is added to the mac80211 lists If the station goes to sleep between steps 2 and 3, and the firmware/hardware records it as being asleep, mac80211 will never instruct the driver to wake it up again as it never realized it went to sleep since the RX path discarded the frame as a "spurious class 3 frame", no station entry was present yet. Fix this by adding the station in software first, and only then adding it to the driver. That way, any state that the driver changes will be reflected properly in mac80211's station state. The problematic part is the roll-back if the driver fails to add the station, in that case a bit more is needed. To not make that overly complex prevent starting BA sessions in the meantime.

2014-02-20mac80211: fix AP powersave TX vs. wakeup raceEmmanuel Grumbach
There is a race between the TX path and the STA wakeup: while a station is sleeping, mac80211 buffers frames until it wakes up, then the frames are transmitted. However, the RX and TX path are concurrent, so the packet indicating wakeup can be processed while a packet is being transmitted. This can lead to a situation where the buffered frames list is emptied on the one side, while a frame is being added on the other side, as the station is still seen as sleeping in the TX path. As a result, the newly added frame will not be send anytime soon. It might be sent much later (and out of order) when the station goes to sleep and wakes up the next time. Additionally, it can lead to the crash below. Fix all this by synchronising both paths with a new lock. Both path are not fastpath since they handle PS situations. In a later patch we'll remove the extra skb queue locks to reduce locking overhead.

2014-02-18net: sctp: fix sctp_connectx abi for ia32 emulation/compat modeDaniel Borkmann
SCTP's sctp_connectx() abi breaks for 64bit kernels compiled with 32bit emulation (e.g. ia32 emulation or x86_x32). Due to internal usage of 'struct sctp_getaddrs_old' which includes a struct sockaddr pointer, sizeof(param) check will always fail in kernel as the structure in 64bit kernel space is 4bytes larger than for user binaries compiled in 32bit mode. Thus, applications making use of sctp_connectx() won't be able to run under such circumstances. Introduce a compat interface in the kernel to deal with such situations by using a 'struct compat_sctp_getaddrs_old' structure where user data is copied into it, and then sucessively transformed into a 'struct sctp_getaddrs_old' structure with the help of compat_ptr(). That fixes sctp_connectx() abi without any changes needed in user space, and lets the SCTP test suite pass when compiled in 32bit and run on 64bit kernels.

2014-02-18netfilter: ctnetlink: force null nat binding on insertPablo Neira Ayuso
Quoting Andrey Vagin: When a conntrack is created by kernel, it is initialized (sets IPS_{DST,SRC}_NAT_DONE_BIT bits in nf_nat_setup_info) and only then it is added in hashes (__nf_conntrack_hash_insert), so one conntract can't be initialized from a few threads concurrently. ctnetlink can add an uninitialized conntrack (w/o IPS_{DST,SRC}_NAT_DONE_BIT) in hashes, then a few threads can look up this conntrack and start initialize it concurrently. It's dangerous, because BUG can be triggered from nf_nat_setup_info. Fix this race by always setting up nat, even if no CTA_NAT_ attribute was requested before inserting the ct into the hash table. In absence of CTA_NAT_ attribute, a null binding is created. This alters current behaviour: Before this patch, the first packet matching the newly injected conntrack would be run through the nat table since nf_nat_initialized() returns false. IOW, this forces ctnetlink users to specify the desired nat transformation on ct creation time. Thanks for Florian Westphal, this patch is based on his original patch to address this problem, including this patch description.

2014-02-17HID: Bluetooth: hidp: make sure input buffers are big enoughDavid Herrmann
HID core expects the input buffers to be at least of size 4096 (HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE). Other sizes will result in buffer-overflows if an input-report is smaller than advertised. We could, like i2c, compute the biggest report-size instead of using HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE, but this will blow up if report-descriptors are changed after ->start() has been called. So lets be safe and just use the biggest buffer we have. Note that this adds an additional copy to the HIDP input path. If there is a way to make sure the skb-buf is big enough, we should use that instead. The best way would be to make hid-core honor the @size argument, though, that sounds easier than it is. So lets just fix the buffer-overflows for now and afterwards look for a faster way for all transport drivers.

2014-02-17gre: add link local route when local addr is anyNicolas Dichtel
This bug was reported by Steinar H. Gunderson and was introduced by commit f7cb8886335d ("sit/gre6: don't try to add the same route two times"). root@morgental:~# ip tunnel add foo mode gre remote 1.2.3.4 ttl 64 root@morgental:~# ip link set foo up mtu 1468 root@morgental:~# ip -6 route show dev foo fe80::/64 proto kernel metric 256 but after the above commit, no such route shows up. There is no link local route because dev->dev_addr is 0 (because local ipv4 address is 0), hence no link local address is configured. In this scenario, the link local address is added manually: 'ip -6 addr add fe80::1 dev foo' and because prefix is /128, no link local route is added by the kernel. Even if the right things to do is to add the link local address with a /64 prefix, we need to restore the previous behavior to avoid breaking userpace. Reported-by: Steinar H.

2014-02-17batman-adv: fix TT CRC computation by ensuring byte orderAntonio Quartulli
When computing the CRC on a 2byte variable the order of the bytes obviously alters the final result. This means that computing the CRC over the same value on two archs having different endianess leads to different numbers. The global and local translation table CRC computation routine makes this mistake while processing the clients VIDs. The result is a continuous CRC mismatching between nodes having different endianess. Fix this by converting the VID to Network Order before processing it. This guarantees that every node uses the same byte order.

2014-02-17packet: check for ndo_select_queue during queue selectionDaniel Borkmann
Mathias reported that on an AMD Geode LX embedded board (ALiX) with ath9k driver PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, introduced in commit d346a3fae3ff ("packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option"), triggers a WARN_ON() coming from the driver itself via 066dae93bdf ("ath9k: rework tx queue selection and fix queue stopping/waking"). The reason why this happened is that ndo_select_queue() call is not invoked from direct xmit path i.e. for ieee80211 subsystem that sets queue and TID (similar to 802.1d tag) which is being put into the frame through 802.11e (WMM, QoS). If that is not set, pending frame counter for e.g. ath9k can get messed up. So the WARN_ON() in ath9k is absolutely legitimate. Generally, the hw queue selection in ieee80211 depends on the type of traffic, and priorities are set according to ieee80211_ac_numbers mapping; working in a similar way as DiffServ only on a lower layer, so that the AP can favour frames that have "real-time" requirements like voice or video data frames. Therefore, check for presence of ndo_select_queue() in netdev ops and, if available, invoke it with a fallback handler to __packet_pick_tx_queue(), so that driver such as bnx2x, ixgbe, or mlx4 can still select a hw queue for transmission in relation to the current CPU while e.g. ieee80211 subsystem can make their own choices.

This gets invoked through netdev_pick_tx(); fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers invoke this function within their customized implementation in case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc). This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that function to modules can be undone. Suggested-by: David S.

Theoretically, this should not be the problem as actual size of buffer is double the amount requested on the socket (SO_RECVBUF). Problem here is that this will have bad scaling for data which is less then sizeof sk_buff. E.g. in 4G (LTE) networks, link interfacing radio side will have a large portion of traffic of this size (less then 100B). An example of sudden drop and incomplete window recovery is given below. Node B exhibits problematic behavior. Node A initiates association and B is configured to advertise rwnd of 10000. A sends messages of size 43B (size of typical sctp message in 4G (LTE) network). On B data is left in buffer by not reading socket in userspace. Lets examine when we will hit pressure state and declare rwnd to be 0 for scenario with above stated parameters (rwnd == 10000, chunk size == 43, each chunk is sent in separate sctp packet) Logic is implemented in sctp_assoc_rwnd_decrease: socket_buffer (see below) is maximum size which can be held in socket buffer (sk_rcvbuf). current_alloced is amount of data currently allocated (rx_count) A simple expression is given for which it will be examined after how many packets for above stated parameters we enter pressure state: We start by condition which has to be met in order to enter pressure state: socket_buffer < currently_alloced; currently_alloced is represented as size of sctp packets received so far and not yet delivered to userspace. x is the number of chunks/packets (since there is no bundling, and each chunk is delivered in separate packet, we can observe each chunk also as sctp packet, and what is important here, having its own sk_buff): socket_buffer < x*each_sctp_packet; each_sctp_packet is sctp chunk size + sizeof(struct sk_buff). socket_buffer is twice the amount of initially requested size of socket buffer, which is in case of sctp, twice the a_rwnd requested: 2*rwnd < x*(payload+sizeof(struc sk_buff)); sizeof(struct sk_buff) is 190 (3.13.0-rc4+). Above is stated that rwnd is 10000 and each payload size is 43 20000 < x(43+190); x > 20000/233; x ~> 84; After ~84 messages, pressure state is entered and 0 rwnd is advertised while received 84*43B ~= 3612B sctp data. This is why external observer notices sudden drop from 6474 to 0, as it will be now shown in example: IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [INIT] [init tag: 1875509148] [rwnd: 81920] [OS: 10] [MIS: 65535] [init TSN: 1096057017] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [INIT ACK] [init tag: 3198966556] [rwnd: 10000] [OS: 10] [MIS: 10] [init TSN: 902132839] IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [COOKIE ECHO] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [COOKIE ACK] IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 1096057017] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 0] [PPID 0x18] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 1096057017] [a_rwnd 9957] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 1096057018] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 1] [PPID 0x18] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 1096057018] [a_rwnd 9957] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 1096057019] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 2] [PPID 0x18] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 1096057019] [a_rwnd 9914] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] <...> IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 1096057098] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 81] [PPID 0x18] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 1096057098] [a_rwnd 6517] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 1096057099] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 82] [PPID 0x18] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 1096057099] [a_rwnd 6474] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 1096057100] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 83] [PPID 0x18] --> Sudden drop IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 1096057100] [a_rwnd 0] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] At this point, rwnd_press stores current rwnd value so it can be later restored in sctp_assoc_rwnd_increase. This however doesn't happen as condition to start slowly increasing rwnd until rwnd_press is returned to rwnd is never met. This condition is not met since rwnd, after it hit 0, must first reach rwnd_press by adding amount which is read from userspace. Let us observe values in above example. Initial a_rwnd is 10000, pressure was hit when rwnd was ~6500 and the amount of actual sctp data currently waiting to be delivered to userspace is ~3500. When userspace starts to read, sctp_assoc_rwnd_increase will be blamed only for sctp data, which is ~3500. Condition is never met, and when userspace reads all data, rwnd stays on 3569.

Situation will be typically observed as one association suddenly having rwnd dropped to size of last packet received and never recovering beyond that point. Different scenarios will lead to it, but all have in common that one of the associations (let it be association from 1)) nearly depleted socket buffer, and the other association blames socket buffer just for the amount enough to start the pressure. This association will enter pressure state, set rwnd_press and announce 0 rwnd. When data is read by userspace, similar situation as in 1) will occur, rwnd will increase just for the size read by userspace but rwnd_press will be high enough so that association doesn't have enough credit to reach rwnd_press and restore to previous state. This case is special case of 1), being worse as there is, in the worst case, only one packet in buffer for which size rwnd will be increased. Consequence is association which has very low maximum rwnd ('minute size', in our case down to 43B - size of packet which caused pressure) and as such unusable. Scenario happened in the field and labs frequently after congestion state (link breaks, different probabilities of packet drop, packet reordering) and with scenario 1) preceding. Here is given a deterministic scenario for reproduction: >From node A establish two associations on the same socket, with rcvbuf_policy being set to share one common buffer (sctp.rcvbuf_policy == 0). On association 1 repeat scenario from 1), that is, bring it down to 0 and restore up. Observe scenario 1). Use small payload size (here we use 43). Once rwnd is 'recovered', bring it down close to 0, as in just one more packet would close it. This has as a consequence that association number 2 is able to receive (at least) one more packet which will bring it in pressure state. E.g. if association 2 had rwnd of 10000, packet received was 43, and we enter at this point into pressure, rwnd_press will have 9957. Once payload is delivered to userspace, rwnd will increase for 43, but conditions to restore rwnd to original state, just as in 1), will never be satisfied. --> Association 1, between A.y and B.12345 IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [INIT] [init tag: 836880897] [rwnd: 10000] [OS: 10] [MIS: 65535] [init TSN: 4032536569] IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [INIT ACK] [init tag: 2873310749] [rwnd: 81920] [OS: 10] [MIS: 10] [init TSN: 3799315613] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [COOKIE ECHO] IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [COOKIE ACK] --> Association 2, between A.z and B.12346 IP A.55915 > B.12346: sctp (1) [INIT] [init tag: 534798321] [rwnd: 10000] [OS: 10] [MIS: 65535] [init TSN: 2099285173] IP B.12346 > A.55915: sctp (1) [INIT ACK] [init tag: 516668823] [rwnd: 81920] [OS: 10] [MIS: 10] [init TSN: 3676403240] IP A.55915 > B.12346: sctp (1) [COOKIE ECHO] IP B.12346 > A.55915: sctp (1) [COOKIE ACK] --> Deplete socket buffer by sending messages of size 43B over association 1 IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3799315613] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 0] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315613] [a_rwnd 9957] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] <...> IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315696] [a_rwnd 6388] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3799315697] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 84] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315697] [a_rwnd 6345] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] --> Sudden drop on 1 IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3799315698] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 85] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315698] [a_rwnd 0] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] --> Here userspace read, rwnd 'recovered' to 3698, now deplete again using association 1 so there is place in buffer for only one more packet IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3799315799] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 186] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315799] [a_rwnd 86] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3799315800] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 187] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315800] [a_rwnd 43] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] --> Socket buffer is almost depleted, but there is space for one more packet, send them over association 2, size 43B IP B.12346 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3676403240] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 0] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12346: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3676403240] [a_rwnd 0] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] --> Immediate drop IP A.60995 > B.12346: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 387491510] [a_rwnd 0] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] --> Read everything from the socket, both association recover up to maximum rwnd they are capable of reaching, note that association 1 recovered up to 3698, and association 2 recovered only to 43 IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315800] [a_rwnd 1548] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315800] [a_rwnd 3053] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3799315801] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 188] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315801] [a_rwnd 3698] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP B.12346 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3676403241] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 1] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12346: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3676403241] [a_rwnd 43] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] A careful reader might wonder why it is necessary to reproduce 1) prior reproduction of 2). It is simply easier to observe when to send packet over association 2 which will push association into the pressure state. Proposed solution: Both problems share the same root cause, and that is improper scaling of socket buffer with rwnd. Solution in which sizeof(sk_buff) is taken into concern while calculating rwnd is not possible due to fact that there is no linear relationship between amount of data blamed in increase/decrease with IP packet in which payload arrived. Even in case such solution would be followed, complexity of the code would increase. Due to nature of current rwnd handling, slow increase (in sctp_assoc_rwnd_increase) of rwnd after pressure state is entered is rationale, but it gives false representation to the sender of current buffer space. Furthermore, it implements additional congestion control mechanism which is defined on implementation, and not on standard basis. Proposed solution simplifies whole algorithm having on mind definition from rfc: o Receiver Window (rwnd): This gives the sender an indication of the space available in the receiver's inbound buffer. Core of the proposed solution is given with these lines: sctp_assoc_rwnd_update: if ((asoc->base.sk->sk_rcvbuf - rx_count) > 0) asoc->rwnd = (asoc->base.sk->sk_rcvbuf - rx_count) >> 1; else asoc->rwnd = 0; We advertise to sender (half of) actual space we have. Half is in the braces depending whether you would like to observe size of socket buffer as SO_RECVBUF or twice the amount, i.e. size is the one visible from userspace, that is, from kernelspace. In this way sender is given with good approximation of our buffer space, regardless of the buffer policy - we always advertise what we have. Proposed solution fixes described problems and removes necessity for rwnd restoration algorithm. Finally, as proposed solution is simplification, some lines of code, along with some bytes in struct sctp_association are saved. Version 2 of the patch addressed comments from Vlad. Name of the function is set to be more descriptive, and two parts of code are changed, in one removing the superfluous call to sctp_assoc_rwnd_update since call would not result in update of rwnd, and the other being reordering of the code in a way that call to sctp_assoc_rwnd_update updates rwnd. Version 3 corrected change introduced in v2 in a way that existing function is not reordered/copied in line, but it is correctly called. Thanks Vlad for suggesting.

2014-02-13net: ip, ipv6: handle gso skbs in forwarding pathFlorian Westphal
Marcelo Ricardo Leitner reported problems when the forwarding link path has a lower mtu than the incoming one if the inbound interface supports GRO. Given: Host <mtu1500> R1 <mtu1200> R2 Host sends tcp stream which is routed via R1 and R2. R1 performs GRO. In this case, the kernel will fail to send ICMP fragmentation needed messages (or pkt too big for ipv6), as GSO packets currently bypass dstmtu checks in forward path. Instead, Linux tries to send out packets exceeding the mtu. When locking route MTU on Host (i.e., no ipv4 DF bit set), R1 does not fragment the packets when forwarding, and again tries to send out packets exceeding R1-R2 link mtu. This alters the forwarding dstmtu checks to take the individual gso segment lengths into account. For ipv6, we send out pkt too big error for gso if the individual segments are too big. For ipv4, we either send icmp fragmentation needed, or, if the DF bit is not set, perform software segmentation and let the output path create fragments when the packet is leaving the machine. It is not 100% correct as the error message will contain the headers of the GRO skb instead of the original/segmented one, but it seems to work fine in my (limited) tests. Eric Dumazet suggested to simply shrink mss via ->gso_size to avoid sofware segmentation. However it turns out that skb_segment() assumes skb nr_frags is related to mss size so we would BUG there. I don't want to mess with it considering Herbert and Eric disagree on what the correct behavior should be. Hannes Frederic Sowa notes that when we would shrink gso_size skb_segment would then also need to deal with the case where SKB_MAX_FRAGS would be exceeded. This uses sofware segmentation in the forward path when we hit ipv4 non-DF packets and the outgoing link mtu is too small. Its not perfect, but given the lack of bug reports wrt. GRO fwd being broken this is a rare case anyway. Also its not like this could not be improved later once the dust settles.

So add the .data initialization. Acked-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Wang Weidong <wangweidong1@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-02-13net: correct error path in rtnl_newlink()Cong Wang
I saw the following BUG when ->newlink() fails in rtnl_newlink(): [ 40.240058] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:6438! this is due to free_netdev() is not supposed to be called before netdev is completely unregistered, therefore it is not correct to call free_netdev() here, at least for ops->newlink!=NULL case, many drivers call it in ->destructor so that rtnl_unlock() will take care of it, we probably don't need to do anything here.
