This is not a buffer overflow in the traditional sense: we don't
overflow any *kernel* buffers, but we do mis-count the amount of data we
copy back to user space for the SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL case.
In particular, if the user buffer is too small to hold everything, and
*if* there is a continuation line at just the right place, we can end up
giving the user more data than he asked for.
The reason is that we first count up the number of bytes all the log
records contains, then we walk the records again until we've skipped the
records at the beginning that won't fit, and then we walk the rest of
the records and copy them to the user space buffer.
And in between that "skip the initial records that won't fit" and the
"copy the records that *will* fit to user space", we reset the 'prev'
variable that contained the record information for the last record not
copied. That meant that when we started copying to user space, we now
had a different character count than what we had originally calculated
in the first record walk-through.
The fix is to simply not clear the 'prev' flags value (in both cases
where we had the same logic: syslog_print_all and kmsg_dump_get_buffer:
the latter is used for pstore-like dumping)

HID core expects the input buffers to be at least of size 4096
(HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE). Other sizes will result in buffer-overflows if an
input-report is smaller than advertised. We could, like i2c, compute the
biggest report-size instead of using HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE, but this will
blow up if report-descriptors are changed after ->start() has been called.
So lets be safe and just use the biggest buffer we have.
Note that this adds an additional copy to the HIDP input path. If there is
a way to make sure the skb-buf is big enough, we should use that instead.
The best way would be to make hid-core honor the @size argument, though,
that sounds easier than it is. So lets just fix the buffer-overflows for
now and afterwards look for a faster way for all transport drivers.

This patch removes a generic hard_header_len check from the usbnet
module that is causing dropped packages under certain circumstances
for devices that send rx packets that cross urb boundaries.
One example is the AX88772B which occasionally send rx packets that
cross urb boundaries where the remaining partial packet is sent with
no hardware header. When the buffer with a partial packet is of less
number of octets than the value of hard_header_len the buffer is
discarded by the usbnet module.
With AX88772B this can be reproduced by using ping with a packet
size between 1965-1976.
The bug has been reported here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29082
This patch introduces the following changes:
- Removes the generic hard_header_len check in the rx_complete
function in the usbnet module.
- Introduces a ETH_HLEN check for skbs that are not cloned from
within a rx_fixup callback.
- For safety a hard_header_len check is added to each rx_fixup
callback function that could be affected by this change.
These extra checks could possibly be removed by someone
who has the hardware to test.
- Removes a call to dev_kfree_skb_any() and instead utilizes the
dev->done list to queue skbs for cleanup.
The changes place full responsibility on the rx_fixup callback
functions that clone skbs to only pass valid skbs to the
usbnet_skb_return function.

This bug was reported by Steinar H. Gunderson and was introduced by commit
f7cb888633 ("sit/gre6: don't try to add the same route two times").
root@morgental:~# ip tunnel add foo mode gre remote 1.2.3.4 ttl 64
root@morgental:~# ip link set foo up mtu 1468
root@morgental:~# ip -6 route show dev foo
fe80::/64 proto kernel metric 256
but after the above commit, no such route shows up.
There is no link local route because dev->dev_addr is 0 (because local ipv4
address is 0), hence no link local address is configured.
In this scenario, the link local address is added manually: 'ip -6 addr add
fe80::1 dev foo' and because prefix is /128, no link local route is added by the
kernel.
Even if the right things to do is to add the link local address with a /64
prefix, we need to restore the previous behavior to avoid breaking userpace.

The global and local translation table CRC computation

The goal of this patch is to allow userland to dump only a part of SA by
specifying a filter during the dump.
The kernel is in charge to filter SA, this avoids to generate useless netlink
traffic (it save also some cpu cycles). This is particularly useful when there
is a big number of SA set on the system.
Note that I removed the union in struct xfrm_state_walk to fix a problem on arm.
struct netlink_callback->args is defined as a array of 6 long and the first long
is used in xfrm code to flag the cb as initialized. Hence, we must have:
sizeof(struct xfrm_state_walk) <= sizeof(long) * 5.
With the union, it was false on arm (sizeof(struct xfrm_state_walk) was
sizeof(long) * 7), due to the padding.
In fact, whatever the arch is, this union seems useless, there will be always
padding after it. Removing it will not increase the size of this struct (and
reduce it on arm).

Mathias reported that on an AMD Geode LX embedded board (ALiX)
with ath9k driver PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, introduced in commit
d346a3fae3 ("packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket
option"), triggers a WARN_ON() coming from the driver itself
via 066dae93bd ("ath9k: rework tx queue selection and fix
queue stopping/waking").
The reason why this happened is that ndo_select_queue() call
is not invoked from direct xmit path i.e. for ieee80211 subsystem
that sets queue and TID (similar to 802.1d tag) which is being
put into the frame through 802.11e (WMM, QoS). If that is not
set, pending frame counter for e.g. ath9k can get messed up.
So the WARN_ON() in ath9k is absolutely legitimate. Generally,
the hw queue selection in ieee80211 depends on the type of
traffic, and priorities are set according to ieee80211_ac_numbers
mapping; working in a similar way as DiffServ only on a lower
layer, so that the AP can favour frames that have "real-time"
requirements like voice or video data frames.
Therefore, check for presence of ndo_select_queue() in netdev
ops and, if available, invoke it with a fallback handler to
__packet_pick_tx_queue(), so that driver such as bnx2x, ixgbe,
or mlx4 can still select a hw queue for transmission in
relation to the current CPU while e.g. ieee80211 subsystem
can make their own choices.

Add a new argument for ndo_select_queue() callback that passes a

fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers
invoke this function within their customized implementation in
case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback
handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different
queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc).
This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is
then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that
function to modules can be undone.

Implementation of (a)rwnd calculation might lead to severe performance issues
and associations completely stalling. These problems are described and solution
is proposed which improves lksctp's robustness in congestion state.
1) Sudden drop of a_rwnd and incomplete window recovery afterwards
Data accounted in sctp_assoc_rwnd_decrease takes only payload size (sctp data),
but size of sk_buff, which is blamed against receiver buffer, is not accounted
in rwnd. Theoretically, this should not be the problem as actual size of buffer
is double the amount requested on the socket (SO_RECVBUF). Problem here is
that this will have bad scaling for data which is less then sizeof sk_buff.
E.g. in 4G (LTE) networks, link interfacing radio side will have a large portion
of traffic of this size (less then 100B).
An example of sudden drop and incomplete window recovery is given below. Node B
exhibits problematic behavior. Node A initiates association and B is configured
to advertise rwnd of 10000. A sends messages of size 43B (size of typical sctp
message in 4G (LTE) network). On B data is left in buffer by not reading socket
in userspace.
Lets examine when we will hit pressure state and declare rwnd to be 0 for
scenario with above stated parameters (rwnd == 10000, chunk size == 43, each
chunk is sent in separate sctp packet)
Logic is implemented in sctp_assoc_rwnd_decrease:
socket_buffer (see below) is maximum size which can be held in socket buffer
(sk_rcvbuf). current_alloced is amount of data currently allocated (rx_count)
A simple expression is given for which it will be examined after how many
packets for above stated parameters we enter pressure state:
We start by condition which has to be met in order to enter pressure state:
socket_buffer < currently_alloced;
currently_alloced is represented as size of sctp packets received so far and not
yet delivered to userspace. x is the number of chunks/packets (since there is no
bundling, and each chunk is delivered in separate packet, we can observe each
chunk also as sctp packet, and what is important here, having its own sk_buff):
socket_buffer < x*each_sctp_packet;
each_sctp_packet is sctp chunk size + sizeof(struct sk_buff). socket_buffer is
twice the amount of initially requested size of socket buffer, which is in case
of sctp, twice the a_rwnd requested:
2*rwnd < x*(payload+sizeof(struc sk_buff));
sizeof(struct sk_buff) is 190 (3.13.0-rc4+). Above is stated that rwnd is 10000
and each payload size is 43
20000 < x(43+190);
x > 20000/233;
x ~> 84;
After ~84 messages, pressure state is entered and 0 rwnd is advertised while
received 84*43B ~= 3612B sctp data. This is why external observer notices sudden
drop from 6474 to 0, as it will be now shown in example:

At this point, rwnd_press stores current rwnd value so it can be later restored
in sctp_assoc_rwnd_increase. This however doesn't happen as condition to start
slowly increasing rwnd until rwnd_press is returned to rwnd is never met. This
condition is not met since rwnd, after it hit 0, must first reach rwnd_press by
adding amount which is read from userspace. Let us observe values in above
example. Initial a_rwnd is 10000, pressure was hit when rwnd was ~6500 and the
amount of actual sctp data currently waiting to be delivered to userspace
is ~3500. When userspace starts to read, sctp_assoc_rwnd_increase will be blamed
only for sctp data, which is ~3500. Condition is never met, and when userspace
reads all data, rwnd stays on 3569.

Reproduction is straight forward, it is enough for sender to send packets of
size less then sizeof(struct sk_buff) and receiver keeping them in its buffers.
2) Minute size window for associations sharing the same socket buffer
In case multiple associations share the same socket, and same socket buffer
(sctp.rcvbuf_policy == 0), different scenarios exist in which congestion on one
of the associations can permanently drop rwnd of other association(s).
Situation will be typically observed as one association suddenly having rwnd
dropped to size of last packet received and never recovering beyond that point.
Different scenarios will lead to it, but all have in common that one of the
associations (let it be association from 1)) nearly depleted socket buffer, and
the other association blames socket buffer just for the amount enough to start
the pressure. This association will enter pressure state, set rwnd_press and
announce 0 rwnd.
When data is read by userspace, similar situation as in 1) will occur, rwnd will
increase just for the size read by userspace but rwnd_press will be high enough
so that association doesn't have enough credit to reach rwnd_press and restore
to previous state. This case is special case of 1), being worse as there is, in
the worst case, only one packet in buffer for which size rwnd will be increased.
Consequence is association which has very low maximum rwnd ('minute size', in
our case down to 43B - size of packet which caused pressure) and as such
unusable.
Scenario happened in the field and labs frequently after congestion state (link
breaks, different probabilities of packet drop, packet reordering) and with
scenario 1) preceding. Here is given a deterministic scenario for reproduction:
>From node A establish two associations on the same socket, with rcvbuf_policy
being set to share one common buffer (sctp.rcvbuf_policy == 0). On association 1
repeat scenario from 1), that is, bring it down to 0 and restore up. Observe
scenario 1). Use small payload size (here we use 43). Once rwnd is 'recovered',
bring it down close to 0, as in just one more packet would close it. This has as
a consequence that association number 2 is able to receive (at least) one more
packet which will bring it in pressure state. E.g. if association 2 had rwnd of
10000, packet received was 43, and we enter at this point into pressure,
rwnd_press will have 9957. Once payload is delivered to userspace, rwnd will
increase for 43, but conditions to restore rwnd to original state, just as in
1), will never be satisfied.

A careful reader might wonder why it is necessary to reproduce 1) prior
reproduction of 2). It is simply easier to observe when to send packet over
association 2 which will push association into the pressure state.
Proposed solution:
Both problems share the same root cause, and that is improper scaling of socket
buffer with rwnd. Solution in which sizeof(sk_buff) is taken into concern while
calculating rwnd is not possible due to fact that there is no linear
relationship between amount of data blamed in increase/decrease with IP packet
in which payload arrived. Even in case such solution would be followed,
complexity of the code would increase. Due to nature of current rwnd handling,
slow increase (in sctp_assoc_rwnd_increase) of rwnd after pressure state is
entered is rationale, but it gives false representation to the sender of current
buffer space. Furthermore, it implements additional congestion control mechanism
which is defined on implementation, and not on standard basis.
Proposed solution simplifies whole algorithm having on mind definition from rfc:
o Receiver Window (rwnd): This gives the sender an indication of the space
available in the receiver's inbound buffer.
Core of the proposed solution is given with these lines:
sctp_assoc_rwnd_update:
if ((asoc->base.sk->sk_rcvbuf - rx_count) > 0)
asoc->rwnd = (asoc->base.sk->sk_rcvbuf - rx_count) >> 1;
else
asoc->rwnd = 0;
We advertise to sender (half of) actual space we have. Half is in the braces
depending whether you would like to observe size of socket buffer as SO_RECVBUF
or twice the amount, i.e. size is the one visible from userspace, that is,
from kernelspace.
In this way sender is given with good approximation of our buffer space,
regardless of the buffer policy - we always advertise what we have. Proposed
solution fixes described problems and removes necessity for rwnd restoration
algorithm. Finally, as proposed solution is simplification, some lines of code,
along with some bytes in struct sctp_association are saved.
Version 2 of the patch addressed comments from Vlad. Name of the function is set
to be more descriptive, and two parts of code are changed, in one removing the
superfluous call to sctp_assoc_rwnd_update since call would not result in update
of rwnd, and the other being reordering of the code in a way that call to
sctp_assoc_rwnd_update updates rwnd. Version 3 corrected change introduced in v2
in a way that existing function is not reordered/copied in line, but it is
correctly called. Thanks Vlad for suggesting.

When doing reset in order to recover the affected PE, we issue

issue hot or fundamental reset on root port or PHB accordingly.
For the later case, we didn't cover the situation where PE only
includes root port and it potentially causes kernel crash upon
EEH error to the PE.
The patch reworks the logic of EEH reset to improve the code

We are using a stripped VDSO image which means only symbols with

perf is failing to resolve symbols in the VDSO. A while (1)

3.12% test [.] 00000037.plt_call.gettimeofday@@GLIBC_2.18

The reason for this is that we are linking our VDSO shared libraries
at 1MB, which is a little weird. Even though this is uncommon, Alan
points out that it is valid and we should probably fix perf userspace.
Regardless, I can't see a reason why we are doing this. The code
is all position independent and we never rely on the VDSO ending
up at 1M (and we never place it there on 64bit tasks).
Changing our link address to 0x0 fixes perf VDSO symbol resolution:
