<title>ibmvnic: Fix hardcoded NUM_RX_STATS/NUM_TX_STATS with dynamic sizeof</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=01b8114b432d7baaa5e51ab229c12c4f36b8e2c6'/>
<id>urn:sha1:01b8114b432d7baaa5e51ab229c12c4f36b8e2c6</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous hardcoded definitions of NUM_RX_STATS and
NUM_TX_STATS were not updated when new fields were added
to the ibmvnic_{rx,tx}_queue_stats structures. Specifically,
commit 2ee73c54a615 ("ibmvnic: Add stat for tx direct vs tx
batched") added a fourth TX stat, but NUM_TX_STATS remained 3,
leading to a mismatch.

This patch replaces the static defines with dynamic sizeof-based
calculations to ensure the stat arrays are correctly sized.
This fixes incorrect indexing and prevents incomplete stat
reporting in tools like ethtool.

Fixes: 2ee73c54a615 ("ibmvnic: Add stat for tx direct vs tx batched")

<title>net: ibmveth: make veth_pool_store stop hanging</title>

v2:
- Created a single error handling unlock and exit in veth_pool_store
- Greatly expanded commit message with previous explanatory-only text

Summary: Use rtnl_mutex to synchronize veth_pool_store with itself,
ibmveth_close and ibmveth_open, preventing multiple calls in a row to
napi_disable.

Background: Two (or more) threads could call veth_pool_store through
writing to /sys/devices/vio/30000002/pool*/*. You can do this easily
with a little shell script. This causes a hang.

I configured LOCKDEP, compiled ibmveth.c with DEBUG, and built a new
kernel. I ran this test again and saw:

From the ibmveth debug, two threads are calling veth_pool_store, which
calls ibmveth_close and ibmveth_open. Here's the sequence:

  T4365             T4366
  ----------------- ----------------- ---------
  veth_pool_store   veth_pool_store
                    ibmveth_close
  ibmveth_close
  napi_disable
                    napi_disable
  ibmveth_open
  napi_enable                         &lt;- HANG

ibmveth_close calls napi_disable at the top and ibmveth_open calls
napi_enable at the top.

https://docs.kernel.org/networking/napi.html]] says

  The control APIs are not idempotent. Control API calls are safe
  against concurrent use of datapath APIs but an incorrect sequence of
  control API calls may result in crashes, deadlocks, or race
  conditions. For example, calling napi_disable() multiple times in a
  row will deadlock.

In the normal open and close paths, rtnl_mutex is acquired to prevent
other callers. This is missing from veth_pool_store. Use rtnl_mutex in
veth_pool_store fixes these hangs.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Continue Netlink conversions to per-namespace RTNL lock
     (IPv4 routing, routing rules, routing next hops, ARP ioctls)

   - Continue extending the use of netdev instance locks. As a driver
     opt-in protect queue operations and (in due course) ethtool
     operations with the instance lock and not RTNL lock.

   - Support collecting TCP timestamps (data submitted, sent, acked) in
     BPF, allowing for transparent (to the application) and lower
     overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance.

   - Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy
     Rx via io_uring.

   - Optimize MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by 29%.

   - Enable GRO on packets which went thru XDP CPU redirect (were queued
     for processing on a different CPU). Improving TCP stream
     performance up to 2x.

   - Improve performance of contended connect() by 200% by searching for
     an available 4-tuple under RCU rather than a spin lock. Bring an
     additional 229% improvement by tweaking hash distribution.

   - Avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX, improving
     performance under UDP flood by as much as 10%.

   - Avoid skb_clone() dance in ping_rcv() to improve performance under
     ping flood.

   - Avoid FIB lookup in netfilter if socket is available, 20% perf win.

   - Rework network device creation (in-kernel) API to more clearly
     identify network namespaces and their roles. There are up to 4
     namespace roles but we used to have just 2 netns pointer arguments,
     interpreted differently based on context.

   - Use sysfs_break_active_protection() instead of trylock to avoid
     deadlocks between unregistering objects and sysfs access.

   - Add a new sysctl and sockopt for capping max retransmit timeout in
     TCP.

   - Support masking port and DSCP in routing rule matches.

   - Support dumping IPv4 multicast addresses with RTM_GETMULTICAST.

   - Support specifying at what time packet should be sent on AF_XDP
     sockets.

   - Expose TCP ULP diagnostic info (for TLS and MPTCP) to non-admin
     users.

   - Add Netlink YAML spec for WiFi (nl80211) and conntrack.

   - Introduce EXPORT_IPV6_MOD() and EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() for symbols
     which only need to be exported when IPv6 support is built as a
     module.

   - Age FDB entries based on Rx not Tx traffic in VxLAN, similar to
     normal bridging.

   - Allow users to specify source port range for GENEVE tunnels.

   - netconsole: allow attaching kernel release, CPU ID and task name to
     messages as metadata

  Driver API:

   - Continue rework / fixing of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) across
     the SW layers. Delegate the responsibilities to phylink where
     possible. Improve its handling in phylib.

   - Support symmetric OR-XOR RSS hashing algorithm.

   - Support tracking and preserving IRQ affinity by NAPI itself.

   - Support loopback mode speed selection for interface selftests.

  Device drivers:

   - Remove the IBM LCS driver for s390

   - Remove the sb1000 cable modem driver

   - Add support for SFP module access over SMBus

   - Add MCTP transport driver for MCTP-over-USB

   - Enable XDP metadata support in multiple drivers

<title>ibmvnic: Use kernel helpers for hex dumps</title>
<updated>2025-03-25T15:20:08Z</updated>
<author>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=d93a6caab5d7d9b5ce034d75b1e1e993338e3852'/>
<id>urn:sha1:d93a6caab5d7d9b5ce034d75b1e1e993338e3852</id>
<content type='text'>
Previously, when the driver was printing hex dumps, the buffer was cast
to an 8 byte long and printed using string formatters. If the buffer
size was not a multiple of 8 then a read buffer overflow was possible.

Therefore, create a new ibmvnic function that loops over a buffer and
calls hex_dump_to_buffer instead.

This patch address KASAN reports like the one below:
  ibmvnic 30000003 env3: Login Buffer:
  ibmvnic 30000003 env3: 01000000af000000
  &lt;...&gt;
  ibmvnic 30000003 env3: 2e6d62692e736261
  ibmvnic 30000003 env3: 65050003006d6f63
  ==================================================================
  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ibmvnic_login+0xacc/0xffc [ibmvnic]
  Read of size 8 at addr c0000001331a9aa8 by task ip/17681
  &lt;...&gt;
  Allocated by task 17681:
  &lt;...&gt;
  ibmvnic_login+0x2f0/0xffc [ibmvnic]
  ibmvnic_open+0x148/0x308 [ibmvnic]
  __dev_open+0x1ac/0x304
  &lt;...&gt;
  The buggy address is located 168 bytes inside of
                allocated 175-byte region [c0000001331a9a00, c0000001331a9aaf)
  &lt;...&gt;
