Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-02-26
This series contains fixes for i40e and i40evf only.
Alexey Khoroshilov found a possible leak of 'cmd_buf' when copy_from_user()
failed in i40e_dbg_command_write(), so resolved by calling kfree().
Shannon provides a fix to ensure the shift and bitwise precedences do not
work backwards for us by adding parans. Fixed the driver by preventing
the driver from allowing stray interrupts or causing system logs from
un-handled interrupts by combining the ICR0 shutdown with the standard
interrupt shutdown and add the interrupt clearing to the PCI shutdown
path. Fixed an issue where a NVM write times out before a transaction
can complete, so Shannon added logic to make another attempt by
reacquiring the semaphore, then retry the write, if the one retry fails,
we will then give up. Adds checks to pointers before their use to ensure
we do not try to dereference NULL pointers when returning values from the
AdminQ calls.
Akeem adds a check to bail out if the device is already down when checking
for Tx hang subtask.
Anjali fixes TSO with more than 8 frags per segment issue. The hardware
has some limitations which the driver needs to adhere to:
1) no more than 8 descriptors per packet on the wire
2) no header can span more than 3 descriptors
If one of these events happens, the hardware will generate an internal
error and freeze the Tx queue, so Anjali fixes this by linearizes the skb
to avoid these situations. Fixed an issue where the per Traffic Class
queue count was higher than queues enabled, which will fix a warning
with multiple function mode where systems regularly have more cores than
vectors. Fixed TCP/IPv6 over VXLAN Tx checksum offload, where we were
checking the outer protocol flags and deciding the flow for the inner
header.
Jesse fixes a race condition in the transmit hang detection. Before we
were having issues of false Tx hang detection, no the driver makes more
direct with the checks for progress forward by directly checking the head
write back address and tail register when determining progress. This
avoids Tx hangs where the software gets behind, because we are directly
checking hardware state when determining a hang state.
Neerav fixes the transmit ring Qset handle when DCB reconfigures. The issue
was when DCB is reconfigured to a single traffic class (TC) and the driver
did not reset the Tx ring Qset handle to correct the mapping, which caused
the Tx queue to disable timeouts. Also as part of DCB reconfiguration flow
if the Tx queue disable times out, then issue a PF reset to do some level
of recovery.
Mitch stops flow director on shutdown because, in some cases, the hardware
would continue to try to access the FDIR ring after entering D3Hot state,
which would cause either PCIe errors or NMIs, depending upon the system
configuration.

any merge issues when you sync up your net tree with your net-next tree.

It is possible that the hardware may not have been properly shutdown
before this driver gets control, through use by firmware, for example.
Until the driver is loaded, interrupts associated with the hardware
could go pending. When the IRQs are requested napi support has not
been initialized yet, but the ISR will get control and schedule napi
processing resulting in a kernel panic because the poll routine has not
been set.
Adjust the code so that the driver is fully ready to handle and process
interrupts as soon as the IRQs are requested. This involves requesting
and freeing IRQs during start and stop processing and ordering the napi
add and delete calls appropriately.
Also adjust the powerup and powerdown routines to match the start and
stop routines in regards to the ordering of tasks, including napi
related calls.

rhashtable updates
As discussed, I'm sending out rhashtable fixups for -net.
I have a couple of more patches I was working on last week pending,
i.e. to get rid of ht->nelems and ht->shift atomic operations which
speed-up pure insertions/deletions, e.g. on my laptop I have 2 threads,
inserting 7M entries each, that will reduce insertion time from ~1,450 ms
to 865 ms (performance should even be better after removing the
grow/shrink indirections). I guess that however is rather something
for net-next.

Currently, all real users of rhashtable default their grow and shrink
decision functions to rht_grow_above_75() and rht_shrink_below_30(),
so that there's currently no need to have this explicitly selectable.
It can/should be generic and private inside rhashtable until a real
use case pops up. Since we can make this private, we'll save us this
additional indirection layer and can improve insertion/deletion time
as well.

While commit c0c09bfdc4 ("rhashtable: avoid unnecessary wakeup for
worker queue") rightfully moved part of the decision making of
whether we should expand or shrink from the expand/shrink functions
themselves into insert/delete functions in order to avoid unnecessary
worker wake-ups, it however introduced a regression by doing so.
Before that change, if no max_shift was specified (= 0) on rhashtable
initialization, rhashtable_expand() would just grow unconditionally
and lets the available memory be the limiting factor. After that
change, if no max_shift was specified, there would be _no_ expansion
step at all.
Given that netlink and tipc have a max_shift specified, it was not
visible there, but Josh Hunt reported that if nft that starts out
with a default element hint of 3 if not otherwise provided, would
slow i.e. inserts down trememdously as it cannot grow larger to
relax table occupancy.
Given that the test case verifies shrinks/expands manually, we also
must remove pointer to the helper functions to explicitly avoid
parallel resizing on insertions/deletions. test_bucket_stats() and
test_rht_lookup() could also be wrapped around rhashtable mutex to
explicitly synchronize a walk from resizing, but I think that defeats
the actual test case which intended to have explicit test steps,
i.e. 1) inserts, 2) expands, 3) shrinks, 4) deletions, with object
verification after each stage.

Currently we don't check if the new MTU is valid or not and this allows
one to configure a smaller than minimum allowed by RFCs or even bigger
than interface own MTU, which is a problem as it may lead to packet
drops.
If you have a daemon like NetworkManager running, this may be exploited
by remote attackers by forging RA packets with an invalid MTU, possibly
leading to a DoS. (NetworkManager currently only validates for values
too small, but not for too big ones.)
The fix is just to make sure the new value is valid. That is, between
IPV6_MIN_MTU and interface's MTU.
Note that similar check is already performed at
ndisc_router_discovery(), for when kernel itself parses the RA.

With commit a7526eb5d0 (net: Unbreak compat_sys_{send,recv}msg), the
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag is blocked at the compat syscall entry points,
changing the kernel compat behaviour from the one before the commit it
was trying to fix (1be374a051, net: Block MSG_CMSG_COMPAT in
send(m)msg and recv(m)msg).
On 32-bit kernels (!CONFIG_COMPAT), MSG_CMSG_COMPAT is 0 and the native
32-bit sys_sendmsg() allows flag 0x80000000 to be set (it is ignored by
the kernel). However, on a 64-bit kernel, the compat ABI is different
with commit a7526eb5d0.
This patch changes the compat_sys_{send,recv}msg behaviour to the one
prior to commit 1be374a051.
The problem was found running 32-bit LTP (sendmsg01) binary on an arm64
kernel. Arguably, LTP should not pass 0xffffffff as flags to sendmsg()
but the general rule is not to break user ABI (even when the user
behaviour is not entirely sane).

Packets defragmentation was introduced for PACKET_FANOUT_HASH only,
see 7736d33f42 ("packet: Add pre-defragmentation support for ipv4
fanouts")
It may be useful to have defragmentation enabled regardless of
fanout type. Without that, the AF_PACKET user may have to:
1. Collect fragments from different rings
2. Defragment by itself
