Fix AF_PACKET ABI breakage in 4.2

2015-09-23T21:33:55+00:00

Commit 7d82410950aa ("virtio: add explicit big-endian support to memory accessors") accidentally changed the virtio_net header used by AF_PACKET with PACKET_VNET_HDR from host-endian to big-endian. Since virtio_legacy_is_little_endian() is a very long identifier, define a vio_le macro and use that throughout the code instead of the hard-coded 'false' for little-endian. This restores the ABI to match 4.1 and earlier kernels, and makes my test program work again. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

packet: add extended BPF fanout mode

2015-08-17T21:22:48+00:00

Add fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_EBPF that accepts an en extended BPF program to select a socket. Update the internal eBPF program by passing to socket option SOL_PACKET/PACKET_FANOUT_DATA a file descriptor returned by bpf().

packet: add classic BPF fanout mode

2015-08-17T21:22:47+00:00

Add fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_CBPF that accepts a classic BPF program to select a socket. This avoids having to keep adding special case fanout modes. One example use case is application layer load balancing. The QUIC protocol, for instance, encodes a connection ID in UDP payload. Also add socket option SOL_PACKET/PACKET_FANOUT_DATA that updates data associated with the socket group. Fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_CBPF is the only user so far.

packet: remove handling of tx_ring from prb_shutdown_retire_blk_timer()

2015-07-29T22:11:12+00:00

Follow e8e85cc5eb57 ("packet: remove handling of tx_ring") and remove the tx_ring parameter from prb_shutdown_retire_blk_timer() as it is only called with tx_ring = 0. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

packet: tpacket_snd(): fix signed/unsigned comparison

2015-07-29T07:09:58+00:00

tpacket_fill_skb() can return a negative value (-errno) which is stored in tp_len variable. In that case the following condition will be (but shouldn't be) true: tp_len > dev->mtu + dev->hard_header_len as dev->mtu and dev->hard_header_len are both unsigned. That may lead to just returning an incorrect EMSGSIZE errno to the user.

packet: missing dev_put() in packet_do_bind()

2015-07-27T22:38:58+00:00

When binding a PF_PACKET socket, the use count of the bound interface is always increased with dev_hold in dev_get_by_{index,name}. However, when rebound with the same protocol and device as in the previous bind the use count of the interface was not decreased. Ultimately, this caused the deletion of the interface to fail with the following message: unregister_netdevice: waiting for dummy0 to become free. Usage count = 1 This patch moves the dev_put out of the conditional part that was only executed when either the protocol or device changed on a bind.

packet: remove handling of tx_ring

2015-06-23T13:53:29+00:00

Remove handling of tx_ring in prb_setup_retire_blk_timer for TPACKET_V3 because init_prb_bdqc is called only for zero tx_ring and thus prb_setup_retire_blk_timer for zero tx_ring only. And also in functon init_prb_bdqc there is no usage of tx_ring. Thus removing tx_ring from init_prb_bdqc. Signed-off-by: Maninder Singh Suggested-by: Frans Klaver Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

packet: avoid out of bounds read in round robin fanout

2015-06-21T17:24:37+00:00

PACKET_FANOUT_LB computes f->rr_cur such that it is modulo f->num_members. It returns the old value unconditionally, but f->num_members may have changed since the last store. Ensure that the return value is always < num. When modifying the logic, simplify it further by replacing the loop with an unconditional atomic increment.
