Subject: net: move somaxconn init from sysctl code
From: Roman Kapl <roman.kapl(a)sysgo.com>
[ Upstream commit 7c3f1875c66fbc19762760097cabc91849ea0bbb ]
The default value for somaxconn is set in sysctl_core_net_init(), but this
function is not called when kernel is configured without CONFIG_SYSCTL.
This results in the kernel not being able to accept TCP connections,
because the backlog has zero size. Usually, the user ends up with:
"TCP: request_sock_TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 7. Dropping request. Check SNMP counters."
If SYN cookies are not enabled the connection is rejected.
Before ef547f2ac16 (tcp: remove max_qlen_log), the effects were less
severe, because the backlog was always at least eight slots long.

Subject: net: llc: add lock_sock in llc_ui_bind to avoid a race condition
From: linzhang <xiaolou4617(a)gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 0908cf4dfef35fc6ac12329007052ebe93ff1081 ]
There is a race condition in llc_ui_bind if two or more processes/threads
try to bind a same socket.
If more processes/threads bind a same socket success that will lead to
two problems, one is this action is not what we expected, another is
will lead to kernel in unstable status or oops(in my simple test case,
cause llc2.ko can't unload).
The current code is test SOCK_ZAPPED bit to avoid a process to
bind a same socket twice but that is can't avoid more processes/threads
try to bind a same socket at the same time.
So, add lock_sock in llc_ui_bind like others, such as llc_ui_connect.

Subject: net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: adjust cpsw fifos depth for fullduplex flow control
From: Grygorii Strashko <grygorii.strashko(a)ti.com>
[ Upstream commit 48f5bccc60675f8426a6159935e8636a1fd89f56 ]
When users set flow control using ethtool the bits are set properly in the
CPGMAC_SL MACCONTROL register, but the FIFO depth in the respective Port n
Maximum FIFO Blocks (Pn_MAX_BLKS) registers remains set to the minimum size
reset value. When receive flow control is enabled on a port, the port's
associated FIFO block allocation must be adjusted. The port RX allocation
must increase to accommodate the flow control runout. The TRM recommends
numbers of 5 or 6.
Hence, apply required Port FIFO configuration to
Pn_MAX_BLKS.Pn_TX_MAX_BLKS=0xF and Pn_MAX_BLKS.Pn_RX_MAX_BLKS=0x5 during
interface initialization.

Subject: net: emac: fix reset timeout with AR8035 phy
From: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey(a)googlemail.com>
[ Upstream commit 19d90ece81da802207a9b91ce95a29fbdc40626e ]
This patch fixes a problem where the AR8035 PHY can't be
detected on an Cisco Meraki MR24, if the ethernet cable is
not connected on boot.
Russell Senior provided steps to reproduce the issue:
|Disconnect ethernet cable, apply power, wait until device has booted,
|plug in ethernet, check for interfaces, no eth0 is listed.
|
|This appears to be a problem during probing of the AR8035 Phy chip.
|When ethernet has no link, the phy detection fails, and eth0 is not
|created. Plugging ethernet later has no effect, because there is no
|interface as far as the kernel is concerned. The relevant part of
|the boot log looks like this:
|this is the failing case:
|
|[ 0.876611] /plb/opb/emac-rgmii@ef601500: input 0 in RGMII mode
|[ 0.882532] /plb/opb/ethernet@ef600c00: reset timeout
|[ 0.888546] /plb/opb/ethernet@ef600c00: can't find PHY!
|and the succeeding case:
|
|[ 0.876672] /plb/opb/emac-rgmii@ef601500: input 0 in RGMII mode
|[ 0.883952] eth0: EMAC-0 /plb/opb/ethernet@ef600c00, MAC 00:01:..
|[ 0.890822] eth0: found Atheros 8035 Gigabit Ethernet PHY (0x01)
Based on the comment and the commit message of
commit 23fbb5a87c56 ("emac: Fix EMAC soft reset on 460EX/GT").
This is because the AR8035 PHY doesn't provide the TX Clock,
if the ethernet cable is not attached. This causes the reset
to timeout and the PHY detection code in emac_init_phy() is
unable to detect the AR8035 PHY. As a result, the emac driver
bails out early and the user left with no ethernet.
In order to stay compatible with existing configurations, the driver
tries the current reset approach at first. Only if the first attempt
timed out, it does perform one more retry with the clock temporarily
switched to the internal source for just the duration of the reset.

Subject: neighbour: update neigh timestamps iff update is effective
From: Ihar Hrachyshka <ihrachys(a)redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit 77d7123342dcf6442341b67816321d71da8b2b16 ]
It's a common practice to send gratuitous ARPs after moving an
IP address to another device to speed up healing of a service. To
fulfill service availability constraints, the timing of network peers
updating their caches to point to a new location of an IP address can be
particularly important.
Sometimes neigh_update calls won't touch neither lladdr nor state, for
example if an update arrives in locktime interval. The neigh->updated
value is tested by the protocol specific neigh code, which in turn
will influence whether NEIGH_UPDATE_F_OVERRIDE gets set in the
call to neigh_update() or not. As a result, we may effectively ignore
the update request, bailing out of touching the neigh entry, except that
we still bump its timestamps inside neigh_update.
This may be a problem for updates arriving in quick succession. For
example, consider the following scenario:
A service is moved to another device with its IP address. The new device
sends three gratuitous ARP requests into the network with ~1 seconds
interval between them. Just before the first request arrives to one of
network peer nodes, its neigh entry for the IP address transitions from
STALE to DELAY. This transition, among other things, updates
neigh->updated. Once the kernel receives the first gratuitous ARP, it
ignores it because its arrival time is inside the locktime interval. The
kernel still bumps neigh->updated. Then the second gratuitous ARP
request arrives, and it's also ignored because it's still in the (new)
locktime interval. Same happens for the third request. The node
eventually heals itself (after delay_first_probe_time seconds since the
initial transition to DELAY state), but it just wasted some time and
require a new ARP request/reply round trip. This unfortunate behaviour
both puts more load on the network, as well as reduces service
availability.
This patch changes neigh_update so that it bumps neigh->updated (as well
as neigh->confirmed) only once we are sure that either lladdr or entry
state will change). In the scenario described above, it means that the
second gratuitous ARP request will actually update the entry lladdr.
Ideally, we would update the neigh entry on the very first gratuitous
ARP request. The locktime mechanism is designed to ignore ARP updates in
a short timeframe after a previous ARP update was honoured by the kernel
layer. This would require tracking timestamps for state transitions
separately from timestamps when actual updates are received. This would
probably involve changes in neighbour struct. Therefore, the patch
doesn't tackle the issue of the first gratuitous APR ignored, leaving
it for a follow-up.

From: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski(a)imgtec.com>
[ Upstream commit 71eb989ab5a110df8bcbb9609bacde73feacbedd ]
fixrange_init operates at PMD-granularity and expects the addresses to
be PMD-size aligned, but currently that might not be the case for
PKMAP_BASE unless it is defined properly, so ensure a correct alignment
is used before passing the address to fixrange_init.
fixed mappings: only align the start address that is passed to
fixrange_init rather than the value before adding the size, as we may
end up with uninitialised upper part of the range.
