#1491774 — [PATCH 4.9] brcmfmac: use correct skb freeing helper when deleting flowring

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

Flowrings contain skbs waiting for transmission that were passed to us
by netif. It means we checked every one of them looking for 802.1x
Ethernet type. When deleting flowring we have to use freeing function
that will check for 802.1x type as well.

Freeing skbs without a proper check was leading to counter not being
properly decreased. This was triggering a WARNING every time
brcmf_netdev_wait_pend8021x was called.

Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

Kalle: this isn't important enough for 4.8 as it's too late for that.

I'd like to get it for 4.9 however, as this fixes bug that could lead
to WARNING on every add_key/del_key call. We was struggling with these
WARNINGs for some time and this fixes one of two problems causing them.

I am not very familiar with flowring code, but I suppose this is just
initializing the entry for later use, right?

Ok, I'll queue this for 4.9.

I can add that. Any ideas how old releases stable releases should this
go to?

Not sure if the vendor directory move causes issues as stable can not
fallback to three-way merge. I assumed it would so my last stable tag
was only for 4.7 and I took care of older kernels at later time with
backported patch. I can do that for this one as well.

I was analyzing this.
1) This patch uses brcmf_get_ifp which is available in 4.4+ only.
2) It applies cleanly to 4.5+ only due to 32f90caa7debd ("brcmfmac:
Increase nr of supported flowrings.")
3) 4.4 would also require applying to the patch without broadcom/ subdir

That said I suggest 4.5+. Any objections?

Let me see if patchwork with pick Cc tag as it does for others.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.5+

This may be worth backporting to 4.4 as well (as it's longterm), but
I'll do it separately due to patch not applying cleanly.

Some projects may work on their own stable kernels, e.g. Ubuntu, see:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable

That's why I don't always look strictly at upstream stable releases only.

No objections. Just a tip. I tend to look at kernel.org main page to see
the stable and long-term kernel listed. So 4.7+ and 4.5+ have same
meaning as 4.5 and 4.6 are not stable/long-term kernels.

An excellent idea but no luck:

Acked-by: Arend van Spriel <arend@broadcom.com>

I'll add this to my patchwork wishlist though, I think it would be a
really useful feature to have.

(The question marks are because of my buggy copy paste, ignore those)

#1491877 — [PATCH V2 4.9] brcmfmac: use correct skb freeing helper when deleting flowring

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

Flowrings contain skbs waiting for transmission that were passed to us
by netif. It means we checked every one of them looking for 802.1x
Ethernet type. When deleting flowring we have to use freeing function
that will check for 802.1x type as well.

Freeing skbs without a proper check was leading to counter not being
properly decreased. This was triggering a WARNING every time
brcmf_netdev_wait_pend8021x was called.

V2: Add Cc for stable 4.5+. It doesn't apply cleanly to 4.4 and is not
    possible for 4.3- due to missing brcmf_get_ifp.
