ecr register
The funcion flexcan_get_berr_counter() may be called from userspace even if the
interface is down, this the clocks are disabled. This patch switches on the
clocks before accessing the ecr register.

Fix TCP FRTO logic so that it always notices when snd_una advances,
indicating that any RTO after that point will be a new and distinct
loss episode.
Previously there was a very specific sequence that could cause FRTO to
fail to notice a new loss episode had started:
(1) RTO timer fires, enter FRTO and retransmit packet 1 in write queue
(2) receiver ACKs packet 1
(3) FRTO sends 2 more packets
(4) RTO timer fires again (should start a new loss episode)
The problem was in step (3) above, where tcp_process_loss() returned
early (in the spot marked "Step 2.b"), so that it never got to the
logic to clear icsk_retransmits. Thus icsk_retransmits stayed
non-zero. Thus in step (4) tcp_enter_loss() would see the non-zero
icsk_retransmits, decide that this RTO is not a new episode, and
decide not to cut ssthresh and remember the current cwnd and ssthresh
for undo.
There were two main consequences to the bug that we have
observed. First, ssthresh was not decreased in step (4). Second, when
there was a series of such FRTO (1-4) sequences that happened to be
followed by an FRTO undo, we would restore the cwnd and ssthresh from
before the entire series started (instead of the cwnd and ssthresh
from before the most recent RTO). This could result in cwnd and
ssthresh being restored to values much bigger than the proper values.

tcp_tw_recycle heavily relies on tcp timestamps to build a per-host
ordering of incoming connections and teardowns without the need to
hold state on a specific quadruple for TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN, but only for
the last measured RTO. To do so, we keep the last seen timestamp in a
per-host indexed data structure and verify if the incoming timestamp
in a connection request is strictly greater than the saved one during
last connection teardown. Thus we can verify later on that no old data
packets will be accepted by the new connection.
During moving a socket to time-wait state we already verify if timestamps
where seen on a connection. Only if that was the case we let the
time-wait socket expire after the RTO, otherwise normal TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN
will be used. But we don't verify this on incoming SYN packets. If a
connection teardown was less than TCP_PAWS_MSL seconds in the past we
cannot guarantee to not accept data packets from an old connection if
no timestamps are present. We should drop this SYN packet. This patch
closes this loophole.
Please note, this patch does not make tcp_tw_recycle in any way more
usable but only adds another safety check:
Sporadic drops of SYN packets because of reordering in the network or
in the socket backlog queues can happen. Users behing NAT trying to
connect to a tcp_tw_recycle enabled server can get caught in blackholes
and their connection requests may regullary get dropped because hosts
behind an address translator don't have synchronized tcp timestamp clocks.
tcp_tw_recycle cannot work if peers don't have tcp timestamps enabled.
In general, use of tcp_tw_recycle is disadvised.

Make sure we use the correct address-family-specific function for
handling MTU reductions from within tcp_release_cb().
Previously AF_INET6 sockets were incorrectly always using the IPv6
code path when sometimes they were handling IPv4 traffic and thus had

As of 4fddbf5d78 ("sit: strictly restrict incoming traffic to tunnel link device"),
when looking up a tunnel, tunnel's underlying interface (t->parms.link)
is verified to match incoming traffic's ingress device.
However the comparison was incorrectly based on skb->dev->iflink.
Instead, dev->ifindex should be used, which correctly represents the
interface from which the IP stack hands the ipip6 packets.
This allows setting up sit tunnels bound to vlan interfaces (otherwise
incoming ipip6 traffic on the vlan interface was dropped due to
ipip6_tunnel_lookup match failure).

xgene_enet_get_ring_size() returns a negative value in case of an error,
but its only caller in xgene_enet_create_desc_ring() currently uses the
return value directly as u32. Instead, check for a negative value first and
error out in case. Also move the call to xgene_enet_get_ring_size() before
devm_kzalloc() so we don't need to free anything in the error path.
This fixes the following issue reported by the Coverity Scanner:
** CID 1231336: Improper use of negative value (NEGATIVE_RETURNS)

We don't know right timestamp for repaired skb-s. Wrong RTT estimations
isn't good, because some congestion modules heavily depends on it.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt pointed out that I further missed modifying
update_vsyscall after the wall_to_mono value was changed to a
timespec64. This causes issues on powerpc32, which expects a 32bit
timespec.
This patch fixes the problem by properly converting from a timespec64 to
a timespec before passing the value on to the arch-specific vsyscall
logic.

this fix on to you directly. ]

Pull more powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here are some more powerpc bits for 3.17, essentially fixes.
The biggest series, also aimed at -stable, is from Aneesh and is the
result of weeks and weeks of debugging to find out why the heck or THP
implementation was occasionally triggering multi-hit errors in our
level 1 TLB. It ended up being a combination of issues including
subtleties as to how we should invalidate those special 'MPSS' pages
we use to allow the use of 16M pages inside 4K/64K "base page size"
segments (you really have to love our MMU !)
Another interesting one in the "OMG" category is the series from
Michael adding memory barriers to spin_is_locked(). That's also the
result of many days of debugging to figure out why the semaphore code
would occasionally crash in ways that made no sense. It ended up
being some creative lock stacking that was defeated by the fact that
our locks allow a load inside the locked section to be re-ordered with
the load of the lock value itself (I'm still of two mind about whether
to kill that once and for all by putting a heavier barrier back into
our lock implementation...). The fixes come with a long explanation
in the cset comments, feel free to read it if you feel like having a
headache today"

window:
Group changes to the device tree. In preparation for adding device
tree overlay support, OF_DYNAMIC is reworked so that a set of device

OF_RECONFIG notifiers see the most significant change here so that
users always get a consistent view of the tree. Notifiers generation
is moved from before a change to after it, and notifiers for a group
of changes are emitted after the entire block of changes have been
applied
Automatic console selection from DT. Console drivers can now use
of_console_check() to see if the device node is specified as a console
device. If so then it gets added as a preferred console. UART
devices get this support automatically when uart_add_one_port() is
called.

unloaded again when the tests have completed.

It seems that when a PCI Express bridge is not in use and has no devices
behind it, the ranges property is bogus. Specifically the size property
is of the form [0xffffffff:...], and if you add this size to the resource
start address the 64-bit calculation will overflow.
Just check specifically for this size value signature and skip them.

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-08-12
This series contains updates to i40e and e1000e.
Lucas provides a fix for i40e to resolve a compile issue where a header
was missing in the #includes.
Wei Yongjun provides a fix for i40e to resolve a sparse warning, where
a non-static function should be static.
Julia Lawall provides a fix for i40e which was found using Coccinelle,
where there was a typo in the name of the type given to sizeof().
Rickard Strandqvist provides a fix for i40e to replace the use of
strncpy() with strlcpy() to avoid strings that lack null termination.
Jean Sacren provides two e1000e fixes, first is a comment fix and second
removes an excessive space character in a debug message.

xen-netback: synchronisation between core driver and netback
The zero-copy netback has far more interactions with core network driver than
the old copying backend. One significant thing is that netback now relies on
a callback from core driver to correctly release resources.
However correct synchronisation between core driver and netback is missing.
Currently netback relies on a loop to wait for core driver to release
resources. This is proven not enough and erroneous recently, partly due to code
structure, partly due to missing synchronisation. Short-live domains like
OpenMirage unikernels can easily trigger race in backend, rendering backend
unresponsive.
This patch series aims to slove this issue by introducing proper
synchronisation between core driver and netback.
Chagges in v4:
* avoid using wait queue
* remove dedicated loop for netif_napi_del
* remove unnecessary check on callback
Change in v3: improve commit message in patch 1
Change in v2: fix Zoltan's email address in commit message

The original implementation relies on a loop to check if all inflight
packets are freed. Now we have proper reference counting, there's no
need to use loop anymore.

Reference count the number of packets in host stack, so that we don't
stop the deallocation thread too early. If not, we can end up with
xenvif_free permanently waiting for deallocation thread to unmap grefs.
