Comparing strace results, I didn't see any recvmsg() calls in the other programs that have had the problem, but there is an interesting difference: netcat calls select() to wait for the socket to be ready for reading, where my other test programs just call read() and let it block until ready. So I wrote a small test program to isolate that difference. It downloads a file using only read() and write() and a hardcoded HTTP request. It has a select mode (main loop alternates read() and select() on the TCP socket) and a noselect mode (main loop just read()s the TCP socket). The program is included at the bottom of this message. I ran it several times in both modes and got corruption if and only if the noselect mode was used. > > Another thing (and if that works, it's *NOT* a proper fix - it would be > papering over the problem, but at least it would show where to look for > it) - try (on top of mainline) the following delta: > > diff --git a/net/core/datagram.c b/net/core/datagram.c Will try that patch soon.

The router/access-point is a Comcast-issued Technicolor cable modem, model TC8305C. The only thing I can find on it that looks like it might identify a firmware version is this: System Software Version eMTA & DOCSIS Software Version: 01.E6.01.22.25 Packet Cable: 2.0 I assume Comcast pushes firmware updates whenever they feel like it. There is possibly another clue. I get this message from the kernel sometimes: ieee80211 phy0: invalid plcp cck rate (0). I had this message appearing long before the data corruption bug started. It never correlated with any actual problems, so I turned down the priority level of the message to get it off the console, and forgot about it. I was unable to discover what a "plcp" or "cck" is so the message means nothing to me. > (WPA?, CCMP or TKIP?

Just to add some more information to this, the corruption seems to effect ssh as well. Using a sun hme interface, occasionally upon an ssh connection it will refuse to authenticate a client with either password or cert authentication. Using wireshark to capture and decrypt the packets between the two machines, the data coming from the server seems good, but the data received by the server from the client is essentially garbage. Note that the client is sending valid data, but the server is corrupting it upon receipt. Closing the connection and starting a new one will remedy the login issue, but you do occasionally see corruption on the server side sporadically. So far this only seems to occur on incoming data, outgoing data seems fine. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Also, there is another patch the references this commit on sparc64 at least. https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9221895/ I highly expect both my issue and OP's issue to revolve not around commit e5a4b0bb803b specifically, but around other code that no longer behaves as expected because of it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Indeed, and that fault address rounding bug occurs two other times in arch/sparc/lib/user_fixup.c The mentioned patchwork patch should fix the bug and I'll get that into my sparc tree, merged, and queued up for -stable ASAP. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I'm going to go ahead and say this is where my issue and the op's issue begin to branch apart from one another. He's seeing this on all incoming data, whereas i am only seeing it on ssl data and not on sun4v. At this point i would say data from my issue is only going to cloud this issue as they seem to be two completely different issues revolving around the same commit. If i come across any relevant data for x86_64 ill be sure to post it if this isn't resolved by then, but for now i'm going to refrain from submitting anything sparc related. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Which just might mean that we have *three* issues here - (1) buggered __copy_to_user_inatomic() (and friends) on some sparcs (2) your ssl-only corruption (3) Alan's x86_64 corruption on plain TCP read - no ssl *or* sparc anywhere, and no multi-segment recvmsg(). Which would strongly argue in favour of some kind of copy_page_to_iter() breakage triggered when handling a fragmented skb, as in (1).
