As said by Linus:
A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
Otherwise it's actively misleading.In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
caller wants.In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.The renaming is done by using the command sequence:
git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fs/crypto/inline_crypt.c needs linux/slab.h]

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.There are a variety of indentation styles found.
a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:$ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

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

According to 802.15.4-2003/2006/2015 specifications the MAC frame is
composed of MHR, MAC payload and MFR and just the outgoing MAC payload
must be encrypted.If communication is secure,sender build Auxiliary Security Header(ASH),
insert it next to the standard MHR header with security enabled bit ON,
and secure frames before transmitting them. According to the information
carried within the ASH, recipient retrieves the right cryptographic key
and correctly un-secure MAC frames.The error scenario occurs on Linux using IEEE802154_SCF_SECLEVEL_ENC(4)

frames incorrectly. On recipients these MAC frames are discarded,logging

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

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Highlights:1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.
2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
Starovoitov.3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.
4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
of incoming TCP/UDP connections. The muxing can be done using a
BPF program which hashes the incoming packet. From Craig Gallek.5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
interface. BPF programs can be used to determine the message
boundaries. From Tom Herbert.6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.
7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
with lots of configured addresses. We were doing things like
traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
well.8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.
9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
ixgbe, from John Fastabend.10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
from Kan Liang.11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
From David Decotigny.12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
(ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
level attributes as a whole. From Jiri Pirko.13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.
14) Add "Local Checksum Offload". Basically, for a tunneled packet
the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
of that in various ways. From Edward Cree"* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1548 commits)

This patch reverts 6001d52 ("mac802154: tx: don't allow if down while
sync tx"). This has side effects with stop callback which flush the
transmit workqueue. The stop callback will wait until the workqueue is
flushed and holding the rtnl lock. That means it can happen that the stop
callback waits forever because it try to lock the rtnl mutex which is
already hold by stop callback.Cc: Michael Hennerich

The kfree_skb() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

This patch changes the mtu size of 802.15.4 interfaces. The current
setting is the meaning of the maximum transport unit with mac header,
which is 127 bytes according 802.15.4. The linux meaning of the mtu size
field is the maximum payload of a mac frame. Like in ethernet, which is
1500 bytes.We have dynamic length of mac frames in 802.15.4, this is why we assume
the minimum header length which is hard_header_len. This contains fc and
sequence fields. These can evaluated by driver layer without additional
checks. We currently don't support to set the FCS from userspace, so we
need to subtract this from mtu size as well.Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring

While doing a little test with the llsec implementation I saw these
issues. We should move decryption and encruption somewhere else,
otherwise while capturing with wireshark the mac header shows secuirty
fields but the payload is plaintext.A complete other issue is what doing with HardMAC drivers where the
payload is always plaintext. I think we need a special handling then in
userspace. We currently doesn't support any HardMAC transceivers, so we
should fix the first issue for SoftMAC transceivers.Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring

This patch adds support for accessing mac802154 llsec implementation
over nl802154. I added for a new Kconfig entry to provide this
functionality CONFIG_IEEE802154_NL802154_EXPERIMENTAL. This interface is
still in development. It provides to change security parameters and
add/del/dump entries of security tables. Later we can add also a get to
get an entry by unique identifier.Cc: Phoebe Buckheister

The callback "create" and "parse" from header_ops are called from
netdev core upper-layer functionality, like af_packet. These callbacks
assumes big endian for addresses and we should not introduce a special
byteordering handling for ieee802154 over af_packet in userspace.We have an identical issue with setting the mac address which also
assumes big endian byteordering.Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring

Sending over AF_PACKET RAW sockets we can sending frames which exceeds
MTU size. To handling it correct we need to change things in AF_PACKET
which knows on RAW sockets an additional FCS is set by hardware or
mac802154 transmit functionality.Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring

This patch cleanups needed_headroom, needed_tailroom and hard_header_len
fields for wpan and lowpan interfaces.For wpan interfaces the worst case mac header len should be part of
needed_headroom, currently this is set as hard_header_len, but
hard_header_len should be set to the minimum header length which xmit
call assumes and this is the minimum frame length of 802.15.4.
The hard_header_len value will check inside send callbacl of AF_PACKET
raw sockets.For lowpan interfaces, if fragmentation isn't needed the skb will
call dev_hard_header for 802154 layer and queue it afterwards. This
happens without new skb allocation, so we need the same headroom and
tailroom lengths like 802154 inside 802154 6lowpan layer. At least we
assume as minimum header length an ipv6 header size.Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring

The current header_ops callback structure of net device are used mostly
from 802.15.4 upper-layers. Because this callback structure is a very
generic one, which is also used by e.g. DGRAM AF_PACKET sockets, we
can't make this callback structure 802.15.4 specific which is currently
is.I saw the smallest "constraint" for calling this callback with
dev_hard_header/dev_parse_header by AF_PACKET which assign a 8 byte
array for address void pointers. Currently 802.15.4 specific protocols
like af802154 and 6LoWPAN will assign the "struct ieee802154_addr" as
these parameters which is greater than 8 bytes. The current callback
implementation for header_ops.create assumes always a complete
"struct ieee802154_addr" which AF_PACKET can't never handled and is
greater than 8 bytes.For that reason we introduce now a "generic" create/parse header_ops
callback which allows handling with intra-pan extended addresses only.
This allows a small use-case with AF_PACKET to send "somehow" a valid
dataframe over DGRAM.To keeping the current dev_hard_header behaviour we introduce a similar
callback structure "wpan_dev_header_ops" which contains 802.15.4 specific
upper-layer header creation functionality, which can be called by
wpan_dev_hard_header.Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring

This patch introduce a new mib entry which isn't part of 802.15.4 but
useful as default behaviour to set the ack request bit or not if we
don't know if the ack request bit should set. This is currently used for
stacks like IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN.Reviewed-by: Stefan Schmidt

This patch changes the default minimum value of frame_retries to 0 and
changes the frame_retries default value to 3 which is also 802.15.4
default.We don't use the frame_retries "-1" value as indicator for no-aret mode
anymore, instead we checking on the ack request bit inside the 802.15.4
frame control field. This allows a acknowledge handling per frame. This
checking is done by transceiver or inside xmit callback of driver layer.If a transceiver doesn't support ARET handling the transmit
functionality ignores ack frames then, which isn't well but should not
effect anything of current functionality.Reviewed-by: Stefan Schmidt

This patch removes several checks if a value is really changed. This
makes only sense if we have another layer call e.g. calling the
driver_ops which is done by callbacks like "set_channel".For MAC settings which need to be set by phy registers (if the phy
supports that handling) this is set by doing an interface up currently
and are not direct driver_ops calls, so we remove the checks from these
configuration callbacks.Reviewed-by: Stefan Schmidt

If we currently change the mac address inside the wpan interface while
we have a lowpan interface on top of the wpan interface, the mac address
setting doesn't reach the lowpan interface. The effect would be that the
IPv6 lowpan interface has the old SLAAC address and isn't working
anymore because the lowpan interface use in internal mechanism sometimes
dev->addr which is the old mac address of the wpan interface.This patch checks if a wpan interface belongs to lowpan interface, if
yes then we need to check if the lowpan interface is down and change the
mac address also at the lowpan interface. When the lowpan interface will
be set up afterwards, it will use the correct SLAAC address which based
on the updated mac address setting.Reviewed-by: Stefan Schmidt
