3.5.7.33 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Anton Blanchard <anton@xxxxxxxxx> commit 0a13404dd3bf4ea870e3d96270b5a382edca85c0 upstream. The unix socket code is using the result of csum_partial to hash into a lookup table: unix_hash_fold(csum_partial(sunaddr, len, 0)); csum_partial is only guaranteed to produce something that can be folded into a checksum, as its prototype explains: * returns a 32-bit number suitable for feeding into itself * or csum_tcpudp_magic The 32bit value should not be used directly. Depending on the alignment, the ppc64 csum_partial will return different 32bit partial checksums that will fold into the same 16bit checksum. This difference causes the following testcase (courtesy of Gustavo) to sometimes fail: #include <sys/socket.h> #include <stdio.h> int main() { int fd = socket(PF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, 0); int i = 1; setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &i, 4); struct sockaddr addr; addr.sa_family = AF_LOCAL; bind(fd, &addr, 2); listen(fd, 128); struct sockaddr_storage ss; socklen_t sslen = (socklen_t)sizeof(ss); getsockname(fd, (struct sockaddr*)&ss, &sslen); fd = socket(PF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, 0); if (connect(fd, (struct sockaddr*)&ss, sslen) == -1){ perror(NULL); return 1; } printf("OK\n"); return 0; } As suggested by davem, fix this by using csum_fold to fold the partial 32bit checksum into a 16bit checksum before using it.
