This complements patch "net-forcedeth: fix TX timeout caused by TX
pause on down link" which ensures that a lock-up sequence is not sent
to the NIC. Present patch ensures that if a NIC is already locked-up,
the driver will recover from it when initializing the device.
It does the equivalent of the following recovery sequence:
- write NVREG_TX_PAUSEFRAME_ENABLE_V1 to eth1's register
NvRegTxPauseFrame
- write NVREG_XMITCTL_START to eth1's register
NvRegTransmitterControl
- write 0 to eth1's register NvRegTransmitterControl
(this is at the heart of the "unbricking" sequence mentioned in patch
"net-forcedeth: fix TX timeout caused by TX pause on down link")
Tested:
- hardware is MCP55 device id 10de:0373 (rev a3), dual-port
- reboot a kernel without any of patches mentioned
- freeze the NIC (details on description for commit "net-forcedeth:
fix TX timeout caused by TX pause on down link")
- wait 5mn until ping hangs & TX timeout in dmesg
- reboot on kernel with present patch
- host is immediatly operational, no TX timeout

On some dual-port forcedeth devices such as MCP55 10de:0373 (rev a3),
when autoneg & TX pause are enabled while port is connected but
interface is down, the NIC will eventually freeze (TX timeouts,
network unreachable).
This patch ensures that TX pause is not configured in hardware when
interface is down. The TX pause request will be honored when interface
is later configured.
Tested:
- hardware is MCP55 device id 10de:0373 (rev a3), dual-port
- eth0 connected and UP, eth1 connected but DOWN
- without this patch, following sequence would brick NIC:
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth1 up
ifconfig eth1 down
ethtool -A eth1 autoneg off rx on tx off
ifconfig eth1 up
ifconfig eth1 down
ethtool -A eth1 autoneg on rx on tx on
ifconfig eth1 up
ifconfig eth1 down
ifup eth0
sleep 120 # or longer
ethtool eth1
Just in case, sequence to un-brick:
ifconfig eth0 down
ethtool -A eth1 autoneg off rx on tx off
ifconfig eth1 up
ifconfig eth1 down
ifup eth0
- with this patch: no TX timeout after "bricking" sequence above
Details:
- The following register accesses have been identified as the ones
causing the NIC to freeze in "bricking" sequence above:
- write NVREG_TX_PAUSEFRAME_ENABLE_V1 to eth1's register NvRegTxPauseFrame
- write NVREG_MISC1_PAUSE_TX | NVREG_MISC1_FORCE to eth1's register NvRegMisc1
- write 0 to eth1's register NvRegTransmitterControl
This is what this patch avoids.

When tearing down a net namespace, ipv4 mr_table structures are freed
without first deactivating their timers. This can result in a crash in
run_timer_softirq.
This patch mimics the corresponding behaviour in ipv6.
Locking and synchronization seem to be adequate.
We are about to kfree mrt, so existing code should already make sure that
no other references to mrt are pending or can be created by incoming traffic.
The functions invoked here do not cause new references to mrt or other
race conditions to be created.
Invoking del_timer_sync guarantees that ipmr_expire_timer is inactive.
Both ipmr_expire_process (whose completion we may have to wait in
del_timer_sync) and mroute_clean_tables internally use mfc_unres_lock
or other synchronizations when needed, and they both only modify mrt.

With a low enough MSS on the link partner and TSO enabled locally, the
networking stack can periodically send a very large (e.g. 64KB) TCP
message for which the driver will attempt to use more Tx descriptors than
are available by default in the Tx ring. This is due to a workaround in
the code that imposes a limit of only 4 MSS-sized segments per descriptor
which appears to be a carry-over from the older e1000 driver and may be
applicable only to some older PCI or PCIx parts which are not supported in
e1000e. When the driver gets a message that is too large to fit across the
configured number of Tx descriptors, it stops the upper stack from queueing
any more and gets stuck in this state. After a timeout, the upper stack
assumes the adapter is hung and calls the driver to reset it.
Remove the unnecessary limitation of using up to only 4 MSS-sized segments
per Tx descriptor, and put in a hard failure test to catch when attempting
to check for message sizes larger than would fit in the whole Tx ring.
Refactor the remaining logic that limits the size of data per Tx descriptor
from a seemingly arbitrary 8KB to a limit based on the dynamic size of the
Tx packet buffer as described in the hardware specification.
Also, fix the logic in the check for space in the Tx ring for the next
largest possible packet after the current one has been successfully queued
for transmit, and use the appropriate defines for default ring sizes in
e1000_probe instead of magic values.
This issue goes back to the introduction of e1000e in 2.6.24 when it was
split off from e1000.

When moving a net device from one net namespace to another
net namespace,dev_change_net_namespace calls NETDEV_DOWN

beloned to this net device will be put into dst_garbage
list.
then dev_change_net_namespace will set this net device's
net to the new net namespace.
If we unregister this net device's driver, this will trigger
the NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL event, dst_ifdown will be called,
and get this net device's dst entries from dst_garbage list,
put these entries' dev to the new net namespace's lo device.
It's not what we want,actually we need these dst entries hold
the original net namespace's lo device,this incorrect device
holding will trigger emg message like below.
unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1
so we should call NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL event in
dev_change_net_namespace too,in order to make sure dst entries

call NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL event.

We try to defer resets while the device is not READY, but we're not
doing this quite correctly. In particular, changes to efx_nic::state
are documented as serialised by the RTNL lock, but they aren't.
1. We check whether a reset was requested during probe (suggesting
broken hardware) before we allow requested resets to be scheduled.
This leaves a window where a requested reset would be deferred
indefinitely.
2. Although we cancel the reset work item during device removal,
there are still later operations that can cause it to be scheduled
again. We need to check the state before scheduling it.
3. Since the state can change between scheduling and running of
the work item, we still need to check it there, and we need to
do so *after* acquiring the RTNL lock which serialises state
changes.
4. We must cancel the reset work item during device removal, if the
state could ever have been READY. This wasn't done in some of the
failure paths from efx_pci_probe(). Move the cancellation to
efx_pci_remove_main().

efx_change_mtu() and efx_realloc_channels() each stop and start much

Change efx_start_all() and efx_start_interrupts() to assert that the
NIC is not disabled, but make efx_stop_interrupts() do nothing if the
NIC is disabled (since it is already stopped), consistent with
efx_stop_all().

TSO header buffers contain a control structure immediately followed by
the packet headers, and are kept on a free list when not in use. This
complicates buffer management and tends to result in cache read misses
when we recycle such buffers (particularly if DMA-coherent memory
requires caches to be disabled).
Replace the free list with a simple mapping by descriptor index. We
know that there is always a payload descriptor between any two
descriptors with TSO header buffers, so we can allocate only one
such buffer for each two descriptors.
While we're at it, use a standard error code for allocation failure,
not -1.

Non-root user-space processes can send Netlink messages to other
processes that are well-known for being subscribed to Netlink
asynchronous notifications. This allows ilegitimate non-root
process to send forged messages to Netlink subscribers.
The userspace process usually verifies the legitimate origin in
two ways:
a) Socket credentials. If UID != 0, then the message comes from
some ilegitimate process and the message needs to be dropped.
b) Netlink portID. In general, portID == 0 means that the origin
of the messages comes from the kernel. Thus, discarding any
message not coming from the kernel.
However, ctnetlink sets the portID in event messages that has
been triggered by some user-space process, eg. conntrack utility.
So other processes subscribed to ctnetlink events, eg. conntrackd,
know that the event was triggered by some user-space action.
Neither of the two ways to discard ilegitimate messages coming
from non-root processes can help for ctnetlink.
This patch adds capability validation in case that dst_pid is set
in netlink_sendmsg(). This approach is aggressive since existing
applications using any Netlink bus to deliver messages between
two user-space processes will break. Note that the exception is
NETLINK_USERSOCK, since it is reserved for netlink-to-netlink
userspace communication.
Still, if anyone wants that his Netlink bus allows netlink-to-netlink
userspace, then they can set NL_NONROOT_SEND. However, by default,
I don't think it makes sense to allow to use NETLINK_ROUTE to
communicate two processes that are sending no matter what information
that is not related to link/neighbouring/routing. They should be using
NETLINK_USERSOCK instead for that.
