Since the addition of GRO for ESP, gro_receive can consume the skb and
return -EINPROGRESS. In that case, the lower layer GRO handler cannot
touch the skb anymore.Commit 5f114163f2f5 ("net: Add a skb_gro_flush_final helper.") converted
some of the gro_receive handlers that can lead to ESP's gro_receive so
that they wouldn't access the skb when -EINPROGRESS is returned, but
missed other spots, mainly in tunneling protocols.This patch finishes the conversion to using skb_gro_flush_final(), and
adds a new helper, skb_gro_flush_final_remcsum(), used in VXLAN and
GUE.Fixes: 5f114163f2f5 ("net: Add a skb_gro_flush_final helper.")

Manage pending per-NAPI GRO packets via list_head.
Return an SKB pointer from the GRO receive handlers. When GRO receive
handlers return non-NULL, it means that this SKB needs to be completed
at this time and removed from the NAPI queue.Several operations are greatly simplified by this transformation,
especially timing out the oldest SKB in the list when gro_count
exceeds MAX_GRO_SKBS, and napi_gro_flush() which walks the queue
in reverse order.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_[CS]TAG_FILTER features require more than just a bit
flip in dev->features in order to keep the driver in a consistent state.
These features notify the driver of each added/removed vlan, but toggling
of vlan-filter does not notify the driver accordingly for each of the
existing vlans.This patch implements a similar solution to NETIF_F_RX_UDP_TUNNEL_PORT
behavior (which notifies the driver about UDP ports in the same manner
that vids are reported).Each toggling of the features propagates to the 8021q module, which
iterates over the vlans and call add/kill ndo accordingly.Signed-off-by: Gal Pressman

Fun set of conflict resolutions here...
For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel
adds. Trivially resolved.In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the
function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in
'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed.In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the
'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that
added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied
over here.The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating
the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst
a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code.The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial,
the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and
here are their notes:====================
Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc
branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started
being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial
merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch
and the for-next branch. This merge resolves those conflicts and
provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can
be based.Conflicts:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f9524
(IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and
commit b5ca15ad7e61 (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support)
add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the
init/de-init functions used by mlx5. To support the new
representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch
needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list
added by the representors patch needed to be modified to
match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup
patch.
Updates:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h - Update function
prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function
names as changed by cleanup patch

With reorder header off, received packets are untagged in skb_vlan_untag()
called from within __netif_receive_skb_core(), and later the tag will be
inserted back in vlan_do_receive().This caused out of order vlan headers when we create a vlan device on top
of another vlan device, because vlan_do_receive() inserts a tag as the
outermost vlan tag. E.g. the outer tag is first removed in skb_vlan_untag()
and inserted back in vlan_do_receive(), then the inner tag is next removed
and inserted back as the outermost tag.This patch fixes the behaviour by inserting the inner tag at the right
position.Signed-off-by: Toshiaki Makita

After refcnt reaches zero, vlan_vid_del() could free
dev->vlan_info via RCU:RCU_INIT_POINTER(dev->vlan_info, NULL);
call_rcu(&vlan_info->rcu, vlan_info_rcu_free);However, the pointer 'grp' still points to that memory
since it is set before vlan_vid_del():vlan_info = rtnl_dereference(dev->vlan_info);
if (!vlan_info)

grp = &vlan_info->grp;Depends on when that RCU callback is scheduled, we could
trigger a use-after-free in vlan_group_for_each_dev()

is also symmetric to the vlan_vid_add() we call in

Some time ago Eric Dumazet suggested a "hack the IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE
flag on the vlan netdev". But the last comment was "does not support
properly bonding/team.(If the real_dev->privflags IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE
bit changes, we want to update all the vlans at the same time )"I've extended that patch to support changes of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE in
bonding/team.
Both bonding and team call netdev_change_features() after recalculation
of features including priv_flags IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE bit. So the only
thing needed to support is to recheck this bit in
vlan_transfer_features().Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

register_vlan_dev failed. It would trigger the BUG_ON in free_netdev
if the dev was already registered. In this case, the netdev would be

free it directly.The following is the part coredump when netdev_upper_dev_link failed

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().
The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But
it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev->destructor() will not be.Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.
Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
free_netdev().netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
and netdev->priv_destructor().And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Vlan devices, like all other software devices, enable
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature. However, unlike all the othe other
software devices, vlans will switch to using IP|IPV6_CSUM
features, if the underlying devices uses them. In these situations,
checksum offload features on the vlan device can't be controlled
via ethtool.This patch makes vlans keep HW_CSUM feature if the underlying
device supports checksum offloading. This makes vlan devices
behave like other software devices, and restores control to the
user.A side-effect is that some offload settings (typically UFO)
may be enabled on the vlan device while being disabled on the HW.
However, the GSO code will correctly process the packets. This
actually results in slightly better raw throughput.Signed-off-by: Vladislav Yasevich

wanted_features is a set of features which have to be enabled if a
hardware allows that.Currently when a vlan device is created, its wanted_features is set to
current features of its base device.The problem is that the base device can get new features and they are
not propagated to vlan-s of this device.If we look at bonding devices, they doesn't have this problem and this
patch suggests to fix this issue by the same way how it works for bonding
devices.We meet this problem, when we try to create a vlan device over a bonding
device. When a system are booting, real devices require time to be
initialized, so bonding devices created without slaves, then vlan
devices are created and only then ethernet devices are added to the
bonding device. As a result we have vlan devices with disabled
scatter-gather.* create a bonding device
$ ip link add bond0 type bond
$ ethtool -k bond0 | grep scatter
scatter-gather: off
tx-scatter-gather: off [requested on]
tx-scatter-gather-fraglist: off [requested on]* create a vlan device
$ ip link add link bond0 name bond0.10 type vlan id 10
$ ethtool -k bond0.10 | grep scatter
scatter-gather: off
tx-scatter-gather: off
tx-scatter-gather-fraglist: off* Add a slave device to bond0
$ ip link set dev eth0 master bond0And now we can see that the bond0 device has got the scatter-gather
feature, but the bond0.10 hasn't got it.

bonding device.Here is a call trace how features which are set in this patch reach

In commit 18bfb924f000 ("net: introduce default neigh_construct/destroy
ndo calls for L2 upper devices") we added these ndos to stacked devices
such as team and bond, so that calls will be propagated to mlxsw.However, previous commit removed the reliance on these ndos and no new
users of these ndos have appeared since above mentioned commit. We can
therefore safely remove this dead code.Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel
