Fun set of conflict resolutions here...
For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel
adds. Trivially resolved.
In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the
function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in
'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed.
In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the
'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that
added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied
over here.
The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating
the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst
a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code.
The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial,
the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and
here are their notes:
====================
Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc
branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started
being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial
merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch
and the for-next branch. This merge resolves those conflicts and
provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can
be based.
Conflicts:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f95
(IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and
commit b5ca15ad7e (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support)
add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the
init/de-init functions used by mlx5. To support the new
representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch
needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list
added by the representors patch needed to be modified to
match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup
patch.
Updates:

prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function
names as changed by cleanup patch

We already detect situations where a PPP channel sends packets back to
its upper PPP device. While this is enough to avoid deadlocking on xmit
locks, this doesn't prevent packets from looping between the channel
and the unit.
The problem is that ppp_start_xmit() enqueues packets in ppp->file.xq
before checking for xmit recursion. Therefore, __ppp_xmit_process()
might dequeue a packet from ppp->file.xq and send it on the channel
which, in turn, loops it back on the unit. Then ppp_start_xmit()
queues the packet back to ppp->file.xq and __ppp_xmit_process() picks
it up and sends it again through the channel. Therefore, the packet
will loop between __ppp_xmit_process() and ppp_start_xmit() until some
other part of the xmit path drops it.
For L2TP, we rapidly fill the skb's headroom and pppol2tp_xmit() drops
the packet after a few iterations. But PPTP reallocates the headroom
if necessary, letting the loop run and exhaust the machine resources
(as reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199109).
Fix this by letting __ppp_xmit_process() enqueue the skb to
ppp->file.xq, so that we can check for recursion before adding it to
the queue. Now ppp_xmit_process() can drop the packet when recursion is
detected.
__ppp_channel_push() is a bit special. It calls __ppp_xmit_process()
without having any actual packet to send. This is used by
ppp_output_wakeup() to re-enable transmission on the parent unit (for
implementations like ppp_async.c, where the .start_xmit() function
might not consume the skb, leaving it in ppp->xmit_pending and
disabling transmission).
Therefore, __ppp_xmit_process() needs to handle the case where skb is
NULL, dequeuing as many packets as possible from ppp->file.xq.

PPP units don't hold any reference on the channels connected to it.
It is the channel's responsibility to ensure that it disconnects from
its unit before being destroyed.
In practice, this is ensured by ppp_unregister_channel() disconnecting
the channel from the unit before dropping a reference on the channel.
However, it is possible for an unregistered channel to connect to a PPP
unit: register a channel with ppp_register_net_channel(), attach a
/dev/ppp file to it with ioctl(PPPIOCATTCHAN), unregister the channel
with ppp_unregister_channel() and finally connect the /dev/ppp file to
a PPP unit with ioctl(PPPIOCCONNECT).
Once in this situation, the channel is only held by the /dev/ppp file,
which can be released at anytime and free the channel without letting
the parent PPP unit know. Then the ppp structure ends up with dangling
pointers in its ->channels list.
Prevent this scenario by forbidding unregistered channels from
connecting to PPP units. This maintains the code logic by keeping
ppp_unregister_channel() responsible from disconnecting the channel if
necessary and avoids modification on the reference counting mechanism.
This issue seems to predate git history (successfully reproduced on
Linux 2.6.26 and earlier PPP commits are unrelated).

Before:
All these functions either return a negative error indicator,
or store length of sockaddr into "int *socklen" parameter
and return zero on success.
"int *socklen" parameter is awkward. For example, if caller does not
care, it still needs to provide on-stack storage for the value
it does not need.
None of the many FOO_getname() functions of various protocols
ever used old value of *socklen. They always just overwrite it.
This change drops this parameter, and makes all these functions, on success,
return length of sockaddr. It's always >= 0 and can be differentiated
from an error.
Tests in callers are changed from "if (err)" to "if (err < 0)", where needed.
rpc_sockname() lost "int buflen" parameter, since its only use was
to be passed to kernel_getsockname() as &buflen and subsequently
not used in any way.
Userspace API is not changed.

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*

for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
done
with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.
The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
"This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
variables used to hold the future return value'.
Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
in this series - it's large enough as it is.
Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
arch-independent, but POLL### are not.
The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
work on all architectures.
As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
architectures"

In pppoe_sendmsg(), reserving dev->hard_header_len bytes of headroom
was probably fine before the introduction of ->needed_headroom in
commit f5184d267c ("net: Allow netdevices to specify needed head/tailroom").
But now, virtual devices typically advertise the size of their overhead
in dev->needed_headroom, so we must also take it into account in
skb_reserve().
Allocation size of skb is also updated to take dev->needed_tailroom
into account and replace the arbitrary 32 bytes with the real size of
a PPPoE header.
This issue was discovered by syzbot, who connected a pppoe socket to a
gre device which had dev->header_ops->create == ipgre_header and
dev->hard_header_len == 0. Therefore, PPPoE didn't reserve any
headroom, and dev_hard_header() crashed when ipgre_header() tried to
prepend its header to skb->data.

ppp_dev_uninit(), which is the .ndo_uninit() handler of PPP devices,
needs to lock pn->all_ppp_mutex. Therefore we mustn't call
register_netdevice() with pn->all_ppp_mutex already locked, or we'd
deadlock in case register_netdevice() fails and calls .ndo_uninit().
Fortunately, we can unlock pn->all_ppp_mutex before calling
register_netdevice(). This lock protects pn->units_idr, which isn't
used in the device registration process.
However, keeping pn->all_ppp_mutex locked during device registration
did ensure that no device in transient state would be published in
pn->units_idr. In practice, unlocking it before calling
register_netdevice() doesn't change this property: ppp_unit_register()
is called with 'ppp_mutex' locked and all searches done in
pn->units_idr hold this lock too.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
- counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
- a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
- once counter reaches zero, its further
increments aren't allowed
- counter schema uses basic atomic operations
(set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)
Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
- counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
- a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
- once counter reaches zero, its further
increments aren't allowed
- counter schema uses basic atomic operations
(set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)
Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

ppp_release() tries to ensure that netdevices are unregistered before
decrementing the unit refcount and running ppp_destroy_interface().
This is all fine as long as the the device is unregistered by
ppp_release(): the unregister_netdevice() call, followed by
rtnl_unlock(), guarantee that the unregistration process completes
before rtnl_unlock() returns.
However, the device may be unregistered by other means (like
ppp_nl_dellink()). If this happens right before ppp_release() calling
rtnl_lock(), then ppp_release() has to wait for the concurrent
unregistration code to release the lock.
But rtnl_unlock() releases the lock before completing the device
unregistration process. This allows ppp_release() to proceed and
eventually call ppp_destroy_interface() before the unregistration
process completes. Calling free_netdev() on this partially unregistered
device will BUG():

We could set the ->needs_free_netdev flag on PPP devices and move the
ppp_destroy_interface() logic in the ->priv_destructor() callback. But
that'd be quite intrusive as we'd first need to unlink from the other
channels and units that depend on the device (the ones that used the
PPPIOCCONNECT and PPPIOCATTACH ioctls).
Instead, we can just let the netdevice hold a reference on its
ppp_file. This reference is dropped in ->priv_destructor(), at the very
end of the unregistration process, so that neither ppp_release() nor
ppp_disconnect_channel() can call ppp_destroy_interface() in the interim.

Commit e5dadc65f9 ("ppp: Fix false xmit recursion detect with two ppp
devices") dropped the xmit_recursion counter incrementation in
ppp_channel_push() and relied on ppp_xmit_process() for this task.
But __ppp_channel_push() can also send packets directly (using the
.start_xmit() channel callback), in which case the xmit_recursion
counter isn't incremented anymore. If such packets get routed back to
the parent ppp unit, ppp_xmit_process() won't notice the recursion and
will call ppp_channel_push() on the same channel, effectively creating
the deadlock situation that the xmit_recursion mechanism was supposed
to prevent.
This patch re-introduces the xmit_recursion counter incrementation in
ppp_channel_push(). Since the xmit_recursion variable is now part of
the parent ppp unit, incrementation is skipped if the channel doesn't
have any. This is fine because only packets routed through the parent
unit may enter the channel recursively.
Finally, we have to ensure that pch->ppp is not going to be modified
while executing ppp_channel_push(). Instead of taking this lock only
while calling ppp_xmit_process(), we now have to hold it for the full
ppp_channel_push() execution. This respects the ppp locks ordering
which requires locking ->upl before ->downl.

The PPTP set the pptp_sock_destruct as the sock's sk_destruct, it would
trigger this bug when __sk_free is invoked in atomic context, because of
the call path pptp_sock_destruct->del_chan->synchronize_rcu.
Now move the synchronize_rcu to pptp_release from del_chan. This is the
only one case which would free the sock and need the synchronize_rcu.
The following is the panic I met with kernel 3.3.8, but this issue should
exist in current kernel too according to the codes.

The global percpu variable ppp_xmit_recursion is used to detect the ppp
xmit recursion to avoid the deadlock, which is caused by one CPU tries to
lock the xmit lock twice. But it would report false recursion when one CPU
wants to send the skb from two different PPP devices, like one L2TP on the
PPPoE. It is a normal case actually.
Now use one percpu member of struct ppp instead of the gloable variable to
detect the xmit recursion of one ppp device.

Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.
There are 2 reasons to do so:
1)
This field is really an index into an zero based array and
thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
access by definition.
2)
On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
are preffered to signed 32-bit data.
"int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
to 64-bit before being used.
void f(long *p, int i)
{
g(p[i]);
}
roughly translates to
movsx rsi, esi
mov rdi, [rsi+...]
call g
MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.
Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
"int" as an array index:
static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
{
...
ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1];
...
}
And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.
Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
messing with code generation):
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)
Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
used which is longer than [r8]
However, overall balance is in negative direction:

In case of misconfiguration, a virtual PPP channel might send packets
back to their parent PPP interface. This typically happens in
misconfigured L2TP setups, where PPP's peer IP address is set with the
IP of the L2TP peer.
When that happens the system hangs due to PPP trying to recursively
lock its xmit path.

Key points about the lower layer's .start_xmit() callback:
* It can be called directly by a channel fd .write() or by
ppp_output_wakeup() or indirectly by a unit fd .write() or by
.ndo_start_xmit().
* In any case, it's always called with chan->downl held.
* It might route the packet back to its parent unit using
.ndo_start_xmit() as entry point.
This patch detects and breaks recursion in ppp_xmit_process(). This
function is a good candidate for the task because it's called early
enough after .ndo_start_xmit(), it's always part of the recursion
loop and it's on the path of whatever entry point is used to send
a packet on a PPP unit.
Recursion detection is done using the per-cpu ppp_xmit_recursion
variable.
Since ppp_channel_push() too locks the channel's xmit path and calls
the lower layer's .start_xmit() callback, we need to also increment
ppp_xmit_recursion there. However there's no need to check for
recursion, as it's out of the recursion loop.

1. Use struct gre_base_hdr directly in pptp_gre_header instead of
duplicated members;
2. Use existing macros like GRE_KEY, GRE_SEQ, and so on instead of
duplicated macros defined by PPTP;
3. Add new macros like GRE_IS_ACK/SEQ and so on instead of
PPTP_GRE_IS_A/S and so on;

The PPTP is encapsulated by GRE header with that GRE_VERSION bits
must contain one. But current GRE RPS needs the GRE_VERSION must be
zero. So RPS does not work for PPTP traffic.
In my test environment, there are four MIPS cores, and all traffic
are passed through by PPTP. As a result, only one core is 100% busy
while other three cores are very idle. After this patch, the usage
of four cores are balanced well.

Userspace programs generally need to know the name of the ppp devices
they create. Both ioctl and rtnl interfaces use the ppp<suffix> sheme
to name them. But although the suffix used by the ioctl interface can
be known by userspace (it's the PPP unit identifier returned by the
PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl), the one used by the rtnl is only known by the
kernel.
This patch brings more consistency between ioctl and rtnl based ppp
devices by generating device names using the PPP unit identifer as
suffix in both cases. This way, userspace can always infer the name of
the devices they create.

Matt reported that we have a NULL pointer dereference
in ppp_pernet() from ppp_connect_channel(),
i.e. pch->chan_net is NULL.
This is due to that a parallel ppp_unregister_channel()
could happen while we are in ppp_connect_channel(), during
which pch->chan_net set to NULL. Since we need a reference
to net per channel, it makes sense to sync the refcnt
with the life time of the channel, therefore we should
release this reference when we destroy it.

It is time to add netdev_lockdep_set_classes() helper
so that lockdep annotations per device type are easier to manage.
This removes a lot of copies and missing annotations.
