SMC_outw invokes an endian-aware I/O accessor, which may change the data
endianness before writing to the device. This is not suitable for data
transfers where the memory buffer is simply a string of bytes that does
not require any byte-swapping.
This patches fixes the smc91x SMC_PUSH_DATA macro so that it uses the
string I/O accessor for outputting the leading or trailing halfwords on
halfword-aligned buffers.

The ip6_tnl.hlen (gre and ipv6 headers length) is independent from the
outgoing interface, so it would be better to initialize it even when no
route is found, otherwise its value will be zero.
While I'm not sure if this could happen in real life, but doing that
will avoid to call the skb_push function with a zero in ip6gre_header
function.

This patch fixes and improves the use of vti interfaces (while
lightly changing the way of configuring them).
Currently:
- it is necessary to identify and mark inbound IPsec
packets destined to each vti interface, via netfilter rules in
the mangle table at prerouting hook.
- the vti module cannot retrieve the right tunnel in input since
commit b9959fd3: vti tunnels all have an i_key, but the tunnel lookup
is done with flag TUNNEL_NO_KEY, so there no chance to retrieve them.
- the i_key is used by the outbound processing as a mark to lookup
for the right SP and SA bundle.
This patch uses the o_key to store the vti mark (instead of i_key) and
enables:
- to avoid the need for previously marking the inbound skbuffs via a
netfilter rule.
- to properly retrieve the right tunnel in input, only based on the IPsec
packet outer addresses.
- to properly perform an inbound policy check (using the tunnel o_key
as a mark).
- to properly perform an outbound SPD and SAD lookup (using the tunnel
o_key as a mark).
- to keep the current mark of the skbuff. The skbuff mark is neither
used nor changed by the vti interface. Only the vti interface o_key
is used.
SAs have a wildcard mark.
SPs have a mark equal to the vti interface o_key.
The vti interface must be created as follows (i_key = 0, o_key = mark):
ip link add vti1 mode vti local 1.1.1.1 remote 2.2.2.2 okey 1
The SPs attached to vti1 must be created as follows (mark = vti1 o_key):
ip xfrm policy add dir out mark 1 tmpl src 1.1.1.1 dst 2.2.2.2 \
proto esp mode tunnel
ip xfrm policy add dir in mark 1 tmpl src 2.2.2.2 dst 1.1.1.1 \
proto esp mode tunnel
The SAs are created with the default wildcard mark. There is no
distinction between global vs. vti SAs. Just their addresses will
possibly link them to a vti interface:
ip xfrm state add src 1.1.1.1 dst 2.2.2.2 proto esp spi 1000 mode tunnel \
enc "cbc(aes)" "azertyuiopqsdfgh"
ip xfrm state add src 2.2.2.2 dst 1.1.1.1 proto esp spi 2000 mode tunnel \
enc "cbc(aes)" "sqbdhgqsdjqjsdfh"
To avoid matching "global" (not vti) SPs in vti interfaces, global SPs
should no use the default wildcard mark, but explicitly match mark 0.
To avoid a double SPD lookup in input and output (in global and vti SPDs),
the NOPOLICY and NOXFRM options should be set on the vti interfaces:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/vti1/disable_policy
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/vti1/disable_xfrm
The outgoing traffic is steered to vti1 by a route via the vti interface:
ip route add 192.168.0.0/16 dev vti1
The incoming IPsec traffic is steered to vti1 because its outer addresses
match the vti1 tunnel configuration.

commit 9f00b2e7cf
bridge: only expire the mdb entry when query is received
changed the mdb expiration timer to be armed only when QUERY is
received. Howerver, this causes issues in an environment where
the multicast server socket comes and goes very fast while a client
is trying to send traffic to it.
The root cause is a race where a sequence of LEAVE followed by REPORT
messages can race against QUERY messages generated in response to LEAVE.
The QUERY ends up starting the expiration timer, and that timer can
potentially expire after the new REPORT message has been received signaling
the new join operation. This leads to a significant drop in multicast
traffic and possible complete stall.
The solution is to have REPORT messages update the expiration timer
on entries that already exist.

In patch
0d1862e can: flexcan: fix flexcan_chip_start() on imx6
the loop in flexcan_chip_start() that iterates over all mailboxes after the
soft reset of the CAN core was removed. This loop put all mailboxes (even the
ones marked as reserved 1...7) into EMPTY/INACTIVE mode. On mailboxes 8...63,
this aborts any pending TX messages.
After a cold boot there is random garbage in the mailboxes, which leads to
spontaneous transmit of CAN frames during first activation. Further if the
interface was disabled with a pending message (usually due to an error
condition on the CAN bus), this message is retransmitted after enabling the
interface again.
This patch fixes the regression by:
1) Limiting the maximum number of used mailboxes to 8, 0...7 are used by the RX
FIFO, 8 is used by TX.
2) Marking the TX mailbox as EMPTY/INACTIVE, so that any pending TX of that
mailbox is aborted.

A002 is still in "no plans to fix" state, and applies to all
the current P1/P2 parts as well, so it's resonable to enable
its workaround by default, for all the soc's with etsec.
The impact of not enabling this workaround for affected parts
is that under certain conditons (runt frames or even frames
with RX error detected at PHY level) during controller reset,
the controller might fail to indicate Rx reset (GRS) completion.

1) We used the wrong netlink attribute to verify the
lenght of the replay window on async events. Fix this by
using the right netlink attribute.
2) Policy lookups can not match the output interface on forwarding.
Add the needed informations to the flow informations.
3) We update the pmtu when we receive a ICMPV6_DEST_UNREACH message
on IPsec with ipv6. This is wrong and leads to strange fragmented
packets, only ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG messages should update the pmtu.
Fix this by removing the ICMPV6_DEST_UNREACH check from the IPsec
protocol error handlers.
4) The legacy IPsec anti replay mechanism supports anti replay
windows up to 32 packets. If a user requests for a bigger
anti replay window, we use 32 packets but pretend that we use
the requested window size. Fix from Fan Du.
5) If asynchronous events are enabled and replay_maxdiff is set to
zero, we generate an async event for every received packet instead
of checking whether a timeout occurred. Fix from Thomas Egerer.
6) Policies need a refcount when the state resolution timer is armed.
Otherwise the timer can fire after the policy is deleted.
7) We might dreference a NULL pointer if the hold_queue is empty,

Perhaps, it's more clean to modify the hlen to count only the GRE header

Fix race conditions in mrf24j40 interrupts
After testing with the betas of this patchset, it's been rebased and is

David Hauweele noticed that the mrf24j40 would hang arbitrarily after some
period of heavy traffic. Two race conditions were discovered, and the
driver was changed to use threaded interrupts, since the enable/disable of

arise related to interrupts (costing engineering time), and since threaded
interrupts are the right way to do it.
