Pull networking changes from David Miller:
1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov.
2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman.
3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko.
4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar.
5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy.
6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others.
7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel
Borkmann.
8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.
9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
outgoing networking traffic. This benefits processes that have very
many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.
From Eric Dumazet.
10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are
a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
allocator c) less waste of space.
From Eric Dumazet.
11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.
12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
From Stephen Hemminger.
13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.
Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user
namespace changes.

The code seems to want to look at the last byte where the HW puts some
information. Since the skb->data area is never seen by the HW I guess it
does not work as expected. We pass the page address to the HW so I
*think* in order to get to the last byte where the information might be
one should use the page buffer and take a look.
This is of course not more than just compile tested.

According to the comment, errata 23 says that the memory we allocate
can't cross a 64KiB boundary. In case of jumbo frames we allocate
complete pages which can never cross the 64KiB boundary because
PAGE_SIZE should be a multiple of 64KiB so we stop either before the
boundary or start after it but never cross it. Furthermore the check
seems bogus because it looks at skb->data which is not seen by the HW
at all because we only pass the DMA address of the page we allocated. So
I *think* the workaround is not required here.

Resolved the iwlwifi conflict with mainline using 3-way diff posted
by John Linville and Stephen Rothwell. In 'net' we added a bug
fix to make iwlwifi report a more accurate skb->truesize but this
conflicted with RX path changes that happened meanwhile in net-next.
In e1000e a conflict arose in the validation code for settings of
adapter->itr. 'net-next' had more sophisticated logic so that
logic was used.

Dan Carpenter noticed that ixgbevf initial default was different than

This patch fixes a regression introduced by commit "e1000: do vlan
cleanup (799d531)".
Apparently some e1000 chips (not mine) are sensitive about the order of
setting vlan filter and vlan stripping/inserting functionality. So this
patch changes the order so it's the same as before vlan cleanup.

As reported by Steven Rostedt, e1000 has a lockdep splat added
during the recent merge window. The issue is that
cancel_delayed_work is called while holding our private mutex.
There is no reason that I can see to hold the mutex during pci
shutdown, it was more just paranoia that I put the mutex_lock
around the call to e1000_down.
In a quick survey lots of drivers handle locking differently when
being called by the pci layer. The assumption here is that we
don't need the mutexes' protection in this function because
the driver could not be unloaded while in the shutdown handler
which is only called at reboot or poweroff.

The e1000 driver when running with lockdep could run into
some possible deadlocks between the work items acquiring
rtnl and the rtnl lock being acquired before work items
were cancelled.
Use a private mutex to make sure lock ordering isn't violated.
The private mutex is only used to protect areas not generally
covered by the rtnl lock already.

Doing an 'ifconfig ethN down' followed by an 'ifconfig ethN up' on a qemu-kvm
guest system configured with two e1000 NICs can result in an 'unable to handle

These result from a 4096-byte page being corrupted with the following two-word

Which came from from a process' page table I dumped out when the marked line
was seen as bad by print_bad_pte().
The repeating pattern represents the e1000's two-word receive descriptor:
struct e1000_rx_desc {
__le64 buffer_addr; /* Address of the descriptor's data buffer */
__le16 length; /* Length of data DMAed into data buffer */
__le16 csum; /* Packet checksum */
u8 status; /* Descriptor status */
u8 errors; /* Descriptor Errors */
__le16 special;
};
And the 32nd bit of the 2nd word maps to the 'u8 status' member, and
corresponds to E1000_RXD_STAT_DD which indicates the descriptor is done.
The corruption appears to result from the following...
. An 'ifconfig ethN down' gets us into e1000_close(), which through a number
of subfunctions results in:
1. E1000_RCTL_EN being cleared in RCTL register. [e1000_down()]
2. dma_free_coherent() being called. [e1000_free_rx_resources()]
. An 'ifconfig ethN up' gets us into e1000_open(), which through a number of
subfunctions results in:
1. dma_alloc_coherent() being called. [e1000_setup_rx_resources()]
2. E1000_RCTL_EN being set in RCTL register. [e1000_setup_rctl()]
3. E1000_RCTL_EN being cleared in RCTL register. [e1000_configure_rx()]
4. RDLEN, RDBAH and RDBAL registers being set to reflect the dma page
allocated in step 1. [e1000_configure_rx()]
5. E1000_RCTL_EN being set in RCTL register. [e1000_configure_rx()]
During the 'ifconfig ethN up' there is a window opened, starting in step 2
where the receives are enabled up until they are disabled in step 3, in which
the address of the receive descriptor dma page known by the NIC is still the
previous one which was freed during the 'ifconfig ethN down'. If this memory
has been reallocated for some other use and the NIC feels so inclined, it will
write to that former dma page with predictably unpleasant results.
I realize that in the guest, we're dealing with an e1000 NIC that is software
emulated by qemu-kvm. The problem doesn't appear to occur on bare-metal. Andy
suspects that this is because in the emulator link-up is essentially instant
and traffic can start flowing immediately. Whereas on bare-metal, link-up
usually seems to take at least a few milliseconds. And this might be enough
to prevent traffic from flowing into the device inside the window where
E1000_RCTL_EN is set.
So perhaps a modification needs to be made to the qemu-kvm e1000 NIC emulator
to delay the link-up. But in defense of the emulator, it seems like a bad idea
to enable dma operations before the address of the memory to be involved has
been made known.
The following patch no longer enables receives in e1000_setup_rctl() but leaves
them however they were. It only enables receives in e1000_configure_rx(), and
only after the dma address has been made known to the hardware.
There are two places where e1000_setup_rctl() gets called. The one in
e1000_configure() is followed immediately by a call to e1000_configure_rx(), so
there's really no change functionally (except for the removal of the problem
window. The other is in __e1000_shutdown() and is not followed by a call to
e1000_configure_rx(), so there is a change functionally. But consider...
. An 'ifconfig ethN down' (just as described above).
. A 'suspend' of the system, which (I'm assuming) will find its way into
e1000_suspend() which calls __e1000_shutdown() resulting in:
1. E1000_RCTL_EN being set in RCTL register. [e1000_setup_rctl()]
And again we've re-opened the problem window for some unknown amount of time.
