Fabian Grünbichler 29e62dc0a2 fix #1351: kernel bug when adding network rate limit 
Ubuntu bug link:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1682368

original cover letter for the patches proposed upstream:

Commit 1045ba77a ("net sched actions: Add support for user cookies")
added code to net/sched/act_api.c's tcf_action_init_1 using the `tb`
nlattr array unconditionally, while it was otherwise used as well as
initialized only when `name == NULL`:

 if (name == NULL) {
  err = nla_parse_nested(tb, TCA_ACT_MAX, nla, NULL);

In the other case `nla` is instead passed over to ->init to be parsed
there (using a different set of TCA_ enum values, iow. TCA_ACT_COOKIE
then "clashes" with some other value). This lead to the following three
example commands resulting in errors (sometimes followed by more traces
and hangups some time later (although the hangups happened seconds or
sometimes minutes later, sometimes not at all - results differed between
different kernel versions (linux git-master vs ubuntu's mainline 4.11
rc6 vs. pve 4.10.5 (based off ubuntu's zesty kernel where the commit is
cherry-picked)...))):

 # ip link add ve0 type veth peer name ve0b
 # tc qdisc add dev ve0 handle ffff: ingress
 # tc filter add dev ve0 parent ffff: prio 50 basic police rate 1000bps burst 1000b drop

The 3rd command would sometimes succeed, sometimes error with:

 RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
 We have an error talking to the kernel

and sometimes error with:

 RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
 We have an error talking to the kernel

In the latter case I assume `cklen` became negative, which passes the
TC_COOKIE_MAX_SIZE check since it is signed but becomes unsigned later
in kmemdup() (see the crash dump below)

When the `tc filter add` command fails a backtrace shows up in dmesg,
added below.

I'm not sure why the TC_ACT_COOKIE code was added to tcf_action_init_1
where it is now. It makes me think that it's supposed to be available
universally, but the `name == NULL` check for how nla is used or passed
to ->init() shows that the there are various different TC_ACT_* enums in
use at this point, hence the 'RFC' part of the patches, I'm not that
familiar with the code yet.

Backtrace when running `tc filter add`:

README 

KERNEL SOURCE:
==============

We currently use the Ubuntu kernel sources, available from:

 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-xenial.git/

Ubuntu will maintain those kernels till:

 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable


Additional/Updated Modules:
---------------------------

- include latest e1000e driver from intel/sourceforge

- include latest ixgbe driver from intel/sourceforge

 - include latest igb driver from intel/sourceforge

# Note: hpsa does not compile with kernel 3.19.8
#- include latest HPSA driver (HP Smart Array)
#
#  * http://sourceforge.net/projects/cciss/

- include native OpenZFS filesystem kernel modules for Linux

  * https://github.com/zfsonlinux/

  For licensing questions, see: http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Talk:FAQ

- include latest DRBD 9 driver, see http://drbd.linbit.com/home/what-is-drbd/


FIRMWARE:
=========

We create our own firmware package, which includes the firmware for
all proxmox-ve kernels. So far this include

pve-kernel-2.6.18
pve-kernel-2.6.24
pve-kernel-2.6.32
pve-kernel-3.10.0
pve-kernel-3.19.0

We use 'find-firmware.pl' to extract lists of required firmeware
files.  The script 'assemble-firmware.pl' is used to read those lists
and copy the files from various source directory into a target
directory.

We do not include firmeware for some wireless HW when there is a
separate debian package for that, for example:

zd1211-firmware
atmel-firmware
bluez-firmware 


PATCHES:
--------

 bridge-patch.diff: Avoid bridge problems with changing MAC
  see also: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=5291

  Behaviour after 2.6.27 has changed slighly - after setting mac address
  of bridge device, then address won't change. So we could omit
  that patch, requiring to set hwaddress in /etc/network/interfaces.

Watchdog blacklist
------------------

By default, all watchdog modules are black-listed because it is totally undefined
which device is actually used for /dev/watchdog.
We ship this list in /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist_pve-kernel-<VERSION>.conf
The user typically edit /etc/modules to enable a specific watchdog device.

Additional information
----------------------

We use the default configuration provided by Ubuntu, and apply
the following modification:

see Makefile (PVE_CONFIG_OPTS)

- enable CONFIG_CEPH_FS=m (request from user)

- enable common CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XXX to avoid hardware detection
  problems (udev, undate-initramfs have serious problems without that)

  	 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
  	 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y
  	 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y

- add workaround for Debian bug #807000 (see
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=807000)

  	 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME=y

- compile NBD and RBD modules
	 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD=m
	 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RBD=m

- set LOOP_MIN_COUNT to 8 (debian defaults)
	 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT=8

- disable module signatures (CONFIG_MODULE_SIG)
 
- enable IBM JFS file system 

  This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable
  it as requested by users (bug #64)

- enable apple HFS and HFSPLUS

  This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable
  it as requested by users

- enable CONFIG_BCACHE=m (requested by user)

- enable CONFIG_BRIDGE=y

  Else we get warnings on boot, that
  net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables is an unknown key

- enable CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY_APPARMOR

  We need this for lxc
  
- set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y

  because if not set, it can give some dynamic memory or cpu frequencies 
  change, and vms can crash (mainly windows guest).

  see http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/18238-Windows-7-x64-VMs-crashing-randomly-during-process-termination?p=93273#post93273

- use 'deadline' as default scheduler

  This is the suggested setting for KVM. We also measure bad fsync
  performance with ext4 and cfq.

- disable CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG

  Module evbug is not blacklisted on debian, so we simply disable it
  to avoid key-event logs (which is a big security problem)

Testing final kernel with kvm
-----------------------------

kvm -kernel data/boot/vmlinuz-3.19.8-1-pve -initrd initrd.img-3.19.8-1-pve -append "vga=791 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr" /dev/zero
