Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

====================
net_sched: fix races with RCU callbacks
Recently, the RCU callbacks used in TC filters and TC actions keep
drawing my attention, they introduce at least 4 race condition bugs:
1. A simple one fixed by Daniel:
commit c78e1746d3ad7d548bdf3fe491898cc453911a49
Author: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
Date: Wed May 20 17:13:33 2015 +0200
net: sched: fix call_rcu() race on classifier module unloads
2. A very nasty one fixed by me:
commit 1697c4bb5245649a23f06a144cc38c06715e1b65
Author: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com>
Date: Mon Sep 11 16:33:32 2017 -0700
net_sched: carefully handle tcf_block_put()
3. Two more bugs found by Chris:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/826696/
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/826695/
Usually RCU callbacks are simple, however for TC filters and actions,
they are complex because at least TC actions could be destroyed
together with the TC filter in one callback. And RCU callbacks are
invoked in BH context, without locking they are parallel too. All of
these contribute to the cause of these nasty bugs.
Alternatively, we could also:
a) Introduce a spinlock to serialize these RCU callbacks. But as I
said in commit 1697c4bb5245 ("net_sched: carefully handle
tcf_block_put()"), it is very hard to do because of tcf_chain_dump().
Potentially we need to do a lot of work to make it possible (if not
impossible).
b) Just get rid of these RCU callbacks, because they are not
necessary at all, callers of these call_rcu() are all on slow paths
and holding RTNL lock, so blocking is allowed in their contexts.
However, David and Eric dislike adding synchronize_rcu() here.
As suggested by Paul, we could defer the work to a workqueue and
gain the permission of holding RTNL again without any performance
impact, however, in tcf_block_put() we could have a deadlock when
flushing workqueue while hodling RTNL lock, the trick here is to
defer the work itself in workqueue and make it queued after all
other works so that we keep the same ordering to avoid any
use-after-free. Please see the first patch for details.
Patch 1 introduces the infrastructure, patch 2~12 move each
tc filter to the new tc filter workqueue, patch 13 adds
an assertion to catch potential bugs like this, patch 14
closes another rcu callback race, patch 15 and patch 16 add
new test cases.

Pull input fixes from Dmitry Torokhov:
- fix gtco tablet driver, tightening parsing of HID descriptors
- add ACPI ID added to Elan driver to be able to handle touchpads found
in Lenovo Ideapad 320/520
- fix the Symaptics RMI4 driver to adjust handling of buttons

Input: gtco - fix potential out-of-bound access
Input: elan_i2c - add ELAN0611 to the ACPI table
We should avoid using the space character when passing arguments to
clang, because static code analysis check tool such as sparse may
misinterpret the arguments followed by spaces as build targets hence
cause the build to fail.

====================
sctp: a bunch of fixes for some sparse warnings
As Eric noticed, when running 'make C=2 M=net/sctp/', a plenty of
warnings or errors checked by sparse appear. They are all problems
about Endian and type cast.
Most of them are just warnings by which no issues could be caused
while some might be bugs.
This patchset fixes them with four patches basically according to
how they are introduced.

In this patchset, we fixed a tc bug. This patch adds the test case
that reproduces the bug. To run this test case, user should specify
an existing NIC device:
# sudo ./tdc.py -d enp4s0f0
This test case belongs to category "flower". If user doesn't specify
a NIC device, the test cases belong to "flower" will not be run.
In this test case, we create 1M filters and all filters share the same
action. When destroying all filters, kernel should not panic. It takes
about 18s to run it.

By convention the first 6 bits of F30 Ctrl 2 and 3 are used to signify
GPIOs which are connected to buttons. Additional GPIOs may be used as
input GPIOs to signal the touch controller of some event
(ie disable touchpad). These additional GPIOs may meet the criteria of
a button in rmi_f30_is_valid_button() but should not be considered
buttons. This patch limits the GPIOs which are mapped to buttons to just
the first 6.

Davide found the following script triggers a NULL pointer
dereference:
ip l a name eth0 type dummy
tc q a dev eth0 parent :1 handle 1: htb
This is because for a freshly created netdevice noop_qdisc
is attached and when passing 'parent :1', kernel actually
tries to match the major handle which is 0 and noop_qdisc
has handle 0 so is matched by mistake. Commit 69012ae425d7
tries to fix a similar bug but still misses this case.
Handle 0 is not a valid one, should be just skipped. In
fact, kernel uses it as TC_H_UNSPEC.
Fixes: 69012ae425d7 ("net: sched: fix handling of singleton qdiscs with qdisc_hash")
Fixes: 59cc1f61f09c ("net: sched:convert qdisc linked list to hashtable")

These warnings were found by running 'make C=2 M=net/sctp/'.
They are there since very beginning.
Note after this patch, there still one warning left in
sctp_outq_flush():
sctp_chunk_fail(chunk, SCTP_ERROR_INV_STRM)
Since it has been moved to sctp_stream_outq_migrate on net-next,
to avoid the extra job when merging net-next to net, I will post
the fix for it after the merging is done.
