  • commit 5fa782c2f5ef6c2e4f04d3e228412c9b4a4c8809 re-worked the
    handling of unknown parameters. sctp_init_cause_fixed() can now
    return -ENOSPC if there is not enough tailroom in the error
    chunk skb. When this happens, the error header is not appended to
    the error chunk. In that case, the payload of the unknown parameter
    should not be appended either.

  • Eric W. Biederman reported a lockdep splat in inet_twsk_deschedule()

    This is caused by inet_twsk_purge(), run from process context,
    and commit 575f4cd5a5b6394577 (net: Use rcu lookups in inet_twsk_purge.)
    removed the BH disabling that was necessary.

    Add the BH disabling but fine grained, right before calling
    inet_twsk_deschedule(), instead of whole function.

  • Eric W. Biderman and Michal Hocko reported various memory corruptions
    that we suspected to be related to a LIST head located on stack, that
    was manipulated after thread left function frame (and eventually exited,
    so its stack was freed and reused).

    Eric Dumazet suggested the problem was probably coming from commit
    443457242beb (net: factorize
    sync-rcu call in unregister_netdevice_many)

    This patch fixes __dev_close() and dev_close() to properly deinit their
    respective LIST_HEAD(single) before exiting.

  • When list debugging is enabled, we aim to readably show list corruption
    errors, and the basic list_add/list_del operations end up having extra
    debugging code in them to do some basic validation of the list entries.

    However, "list_del_init()" and "list_move[_tail]()" ended up avoiding
    the debug code due to how they were written. This fixes that.

    So the _next_ time we have list_move() problems with stale list entries,
    we'll hopefully have an easier time finding them..

  • This patch re-enables UIE timer/polling emulation for rtc devices

  • Uwe pointed out that my alarm based UIE emulation is not sufficient
    to replace the older timer/polling based UIE emulation on devices
    where there is no alarm irq. This causes rtc devices without alarms
    to return -EINVAL to UIE ioctls. The fix is to re-instate the old
    timer/polling method for devices without alarm irqs.

    This patch reverts the following commits:
    042620a018afcfba1d678062b62e46 - Remove UIE emulation
    1daeddd5962acad1bea55e524fc0fa - Cleanup removed UIE emulation declaration
    b5cc8ca1c9c3a37eaddf709b2fd3e1 - Remove Kconfig symbol for UIE emulation

    The emulation mode will still need to be wired-in with a following
    patch before it will work.

  • On hardware that doesn't support alarm interrupts, rtc_alarm_irq_enable
    could return without releasing the ops_lock mutex.

    This was introduced in
    aa0be0f (RTC: Propagate error handling via rtc_timer_enqueue properly)

    This patch corrects the issue by only returning once the mutex is
    released.

  • If management firmware is present and the device is down, the firmware
    will assume control of the phy. If a phy access were allowed from the
    host, it will collide with firmware phy accesses, resulting in
    unpredictable behavior. This patch fixes the problem by disallowing phy
    accesses during the problematic condition.

  • Without calling of netif_carrier_off at the end of the probe the operstate
    is unknown when the device is initially opened. By default the carrier is
    on so when the device is opened and netif_carrier_on is called the link
    watch event is not fired and operstate remains zero (unknown).

    This patch fixes this behavior in forcedeth and r8169.

  • There is a double completion associated with error handling for RC QPs.

    The sequence is:

    - The do_rc_ack() routine fields an RNR nack and there are 0
    rnr_retries configured on the QP.
    - qib_error_qp() stops the pending timer
    - qib_rc_send_complete() is called from sdma_complete()
    - qib_rc_send_complete() starts the timer because the msb of the psn
    just completed says an ack is needed.
    - a bunch of flushes occur as ipoib posts WQEs to an error'ed QP
    - rc_timeout() calls qib_restart_rc()
    - qib_restart_rc() calls qib_send_complete() with a
    IB_WC_RETRY_EXC_ERR on a wqe that has already been completed in the
    past

    The fix avoids starting the timer since another packet will never
    arrive.

  • Assigning a socket in timewait state to skb->sk can trigger
    kernel oops, e.g. in nfnetlink_log, which does:

    if (skb->sk) {
    read_lock_bh(&skb->sk->sk_callback_lock);
    if (skb->sk->sk_socket && skb->sk->sk_socket->file) ...

    in the timewait case, accessing sk->sk_callback_lock and sk->sk_socket
    is invalid.

    Either all of these spots will need to add a test for sk->sk_state != TCP_TIME_WAIT,
    or xt_TPROXY must not assign a timewait socket to skb->sk.

    This does the latter.

    If a TW socket is found, assign the tproxy nfmark, but skip the skb->sk assignment,
    thus mimicking behaviour of a '-m socket .. -j MARK/ACCEPT' re-routing rule.

    The 'SYN to TW socket' case is left unchanged -- we try to redirect to the
    listener socket.

  • This reverts commit 75f1dc0d076d ("block: check bdev_read_only() from
    blkdev_get()"). That commit added stricter checking to make sure
    devices that were being used read-only were actually opened in that
    mode.

    It turns out that the change breaks a bunch of kernel code that opens
    block devices. Affected systems include dm, md, and the loop device.
    Because strict checking for read-only opens of block devices was not
    done before this, the code that opens the devices was opening them
    read-write even if they were being used read-only. Auditing all that
    code will take time, and new userspace packages for dm, mdadm, etc.
    will also be required.

  • Due to the default case handling the older chipsets, a bunch of the newer
    ones ended up having the wrong tiling regs used. This commit switches the
    default case to handle the newest chipsets.

    This also makes nv4e touch the "extra" tiling regs. "nv" doesn't touch
    them for C51 but traces of the NVIDIA binary driver show it being done
    there.

    I couldn't find NV41/NV45 traces to confirm the behaviour there, but an
    educated guess was taken at each of them.
