net: Fix routing tables with id > 255 for legacy software

2008-06-10T22:44:49+00:00

Most legacy software do not like tables > 255 as rtm_table is u8 so tb_id is sent &0xff and it is possible to mismatch for example table 510 with table 254 (main). This patch introduces RT_TABLE_COMPAT=252 so the code uses it if tb_id > 255. It makes such old applications happy, new ones are still able to use RTA_TABLE to get a proper table id.

route: Mark unused routing attributes as such

2008-06-03T23:36:27+00:00

Also removes an unused policy entry for an attribute which is only used in kernel->user direction. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[RTNETLINK]: Fix bogus ASSERT_RTNL warning

2008-04-24T05:10:48+00:00

ASSERT_RTNL uses mutex_trylock to test whether the rtnl_mutex is held. This bogus warnings when running in atomic context, which f.e. happens when adding secondary unicast addresses through macvlan or vlan or when synchronizing multicast addresses from wireless devices. Mid-term we might want to consider moving all address updates to process context since the locking seems overly complicated, for now just fix the bogus warning by changing ASSERT_RTNL to use mutex_is_locked().

[NET] rtnetlink.c: remove no longer used functions

2008-02-05T11:17:22+00:00

This patch removes the following no longer used functions: - rtattr_parse() - rtattr_strlcpy() - __rtattr_parse_nested_compat() Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Make rtnetlink infrastructure network namespace aware (v3)

2008-01-28T22:54:25+00:00

After this patch none of the netlink callback support anything except the initial network namespace but the rtnetlink infrastructure now handles multiple network namespaces. Changes from v2: - IPv6 addrlabel processing Changes from v1: - no need for special rtnl_unlock handling - fixed IPv6 ndisc Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev Signed-off-by: Eric W.

[IPV6] ADDRCONF: Support RFC3484 configurable address selection policy table.

2008-01-28T22:53:58+00:00

Policy table is implemented as an RCU linear list since we do not expect large list nor frequent updates. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPV6]: Add ifindex field to ND user option messages.

2007-11-13T01:58:35+00:00

Userland neighbor discovery options are typically heavily involved with the interface on which thay are received: add a missing ifindex field to the original struct. Thanks to R�mi Denis-Courmont. Signed-off-by: Pierre Ynard Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPv6]: Export userland ND options through netlink (RDNSS support)

2007-10-11T04:22:05+00:00

As discussed before, this patch provides userland with a way to access relevant options in Router Advertisements, after they are processed and validated by the kernel. Extra options are processed in a generic way; this patch only exports RDNSS options described in RFC5006, but support to control which options are exported could be easily added. A new rtnetlink message type is defined, to transport Neighbor Discovery options, along with optional context information. At the moment only the address of the router sending an RDNSS option is included, but additional attributes may be later defined, if needed by new use cases.

[TCP]: Allow minimum RTO to be configurable via routing metrics.

2007-08-31T05:10:28+00:00

Cell phone networks do link layer retransmissions and other things that cause unnecessary timeout retransmits. So allow the minimum RTO to be inflated per-route to deal with this. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[RTNETLINK]: Fix rtnetlink compat attribute patch
