kernel: gen_stats: Fix netlink stats dumping in the presence of padding

2018-07-13T15:08:34+00:00

Backport hot off the press upstream netlink patch.  Fixes stats display
from CAKE qdisc on MIPS allowing us to bump CAKE to latest version.

The gen_stats facility will add a header for the toplevel nlattr of type
TCA_STATS2 that contains all stats added by qdisc callbacks. A reference
to this header is stored in the gnet_dump struct, and when all the
per-qdisc callbacks have finished adding their stats, the length of the
containing header will be adjusted to the right value.

However, on architectures that need padding (i.e., that don't set
CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS), the padding nlattr is added
before the stats, which means that the stored pointer will point to the
padding, and so when the header is fixed up, the result is just a very
big padding nlattr. Because most qdiscs also supply the legacy TCA_STATS
struct, this problem has been mostly invisible, but we exposed it with
the netlink attribute-based statistics in CAKE.

Fix the issue by fixing up the stored pointer if it points to a padding
nlattr.

kernel: bcm47xxpart: fix getting user-space data partition name

2018-07-10T12:11:15+00:00

Partition name is picked by a parser_trx_data_part_name(). It has to
get correct partition offset (taking care of bad blocks) to work
properly.

This fixes UBI support for devices that have kernel flashed on partition
with a bad block.

kernel: atm: pppoatm fix vc-mux connection failures

2018-06-18T19:29:34+00:00

Backport a hot off the press upstream kernel ATM fix:

Preserve value of skb->truesize when accounting to vcc

"There's a hack in pskb_expand_head() to avoid adjusting skb->truesize
for certain skbs. Ideally it would cover ATM too. It doesn't. Just
stashing the accounted value and using it in atm_raw_pop() is probably
the easiest way to cope."

The issue was exposed by upstream with:

commit 14afee4b6092fde451ee17604e5f5c89da33e71e
Author: Reshetova, Elena 
Date:   Fri Jun 30 13:08:00 2017 +0300

    net: convert sock.sk_wmem_alloc from atomic_t to refcount_t

But an earlier commit left the ticking timebomb:

158f323b9868 ("net: adjust skb->truesize in pskb_expand_head()

Sincerest thanks to Mathias Kresin  for debugging
assistance and to David Woodhouse  for further
guidance, cajoling & patience in interpreting the debug I was giving him
and producing a fix!

Fixes FS#1567
