Subject: [PATCH 205/226] fsl-dpaa2: eth: sanitize supported private flags
|
|
|
|
On linux-v4.6 with CONFIG_MACVLAN=y, when bringing up a ni interface, the
|
|
network stack crashes due to a segfault. This is related to the
|
|
macvlan_device_event notifier, which registers itself to all the network
|
|
interface in the system.
|
|
|
|
The notifier reads the netdev private flags and incorrectly qualifies
|
|
the interface as a macvlan port, since both the IFF_MACVLAN_PORT and
|
|
IFF_PROMISC flags have the same offset. Code spelunking reveals that
|
|
IFF_PROMISC is only used as an interface flag, not a private interface
|
|
flag.
|
|
|
|
A similar situation happens with IFF_ALLMULTI, which overlaps with
|
|
IFF_BRIDGE_PORT. No info on the consequences of this, since I haven't
|
|
tested bridge scenarios. The interface can still be set in allmulti
|
|
mode using userspace tools (e.g. ifconfig).
|
|
|
|
IFF_MULTICAST overlaps with IFF_UNICAST_FLT, therefore the current code
|
|
has no effect as it is. The closest multicast activation based on device
|
|
capabilities has been seen in the case of the Aeroflex Gaisler Ethernet
|
|
MAC (aeroflex/greth.c) - here, the runtime (not private) flag is set on
|
|
device probe. On a side node, ether_setup enables IFF_MULTICAST by default.
|
|
|
|
Remove IFF_PROMISC, IFF_ALLMULTI and IFF_MULTICAST from device capabilities
|
|
init.
