2014-07-08ipv6: Implement automatic flow label generation on transmitTom Herbert1-1/+2
Automatically generate flow labels for IPv6 packets on transmit. The flow label is computed based on skb_get_hash. The flow label will only automatically be set when it is zero otherwise (i.e. flow label manager hasn't set one). This supports the transmit side functionality of RFC 6438. Added an IPv6 sysctl auto_flowlabels to enable/disable this behavior system wide, and added IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL socket option to enable this functionality per socket. By default, auto flowlabels are disabled to avoid possible conflicts with flow label manager, however if this feature proves useful we may want to enable it by default. It should also be noted that FreeBSD has already implemented automatic flow labels (including the sysctl and socket option). In FreeBSD, automatic flow labels default to enabled. Performance impact: Running super_netperf with 200 flows for TCP_RR and UDP_RR for IPv6. Note that in UDP case, __skb_get_hash will be called for every packet with explains slight regression. In the TCP case the hash is saved in the socket so there is no regression.

2014-07-02inet: move ipv6only in sock_commonEric Dumazet1-5/+5
When an UDP application switches from AF_INET to AF_INET6 sockets, we have a small performance degradation for IPv4 communications because of extra cache line misses to access ipv6only information. This can also be noticed for TCP listeners, as ipv6_only_sock() is also used from __inet_lookup_listener()->compute_score() This is magnified when SO_REUSEPORT is used. Move ipv6only into struct sock_common so that it is available at no extra cost in lookups. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-07-01ipv6: Allow accepting RA from local IP addresses.Ben Greear1-0/+1
This can be used in virtual networking applications, and may have other uses as well. The option is disabled by default. A specific use case is setting up virtual routers, bridges, and hosts on a single OS without the use of network namespaces or virtual machines. With proper use of ip rules, routing tables, veth interface pairs and/or other virtual interfaces, and applications that can bind to interfaces and/or IP addresses, it is possibly to create one or more virtual routers with multiple hosts attached. The host interfaces can act as IPv6 systems, with radvd running on the ports in the virtual routers. With the option provided in this patch enabled, those hosts can now properly obtain IPv6 addresses from the radvd. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-06-28net: remove inet6_reqsk_allocOctavian Purdila1-10/+0
Since pktops is only used for IPv6 only and opts is used for IPv4 only, we can move these fields into a union and this allows us to drop the inet6_reqsk_alloc function as after this change it becomes equivalent with inet_reqsk_alloc.

2014-01-20ipv6: make IPV6_RECVPKTINFO work for ipv4 datagramsHannes Frederic Sowa1-0/+3
We currently don't report IPV6_RECVPKTINFO in cmsg access ancillary data for IPv4 datagrams on IPv6 sockets. This patch splits the ip6_datagram_recv_ctl into two functions, one which handles both protocol families, AF_INET and AF_INET6, while the ip6_datagram_recv_specific_ctl only handles IPv6 cmsg data. ip6_datagram_recv_*_ctl never reported back any errors, so we can make them return void. Also provide a helper for protocols which don't offer dual personality to further use ip6_datagram_recv_ctl, which is exported to modules. I needed to shuffle the code for ping around a bit to make it easier to implement dual personality for ping ipv6 sockets in future.

2013-10-09ipv6: make lookups simpler and fasterEric Dumazet1-40/+6
TCP listener refactoring, part 4 : To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct sock_common Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV. Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall). inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6 This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4, we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6, it's not doable easily. inet6_sk(sk)->daddr becomes sk->sk_v6_daddr inet6_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr becomes sk->sk_v6_rcv_saddr And timewait socket also have tw->tw_v6_daddr & tw->tw_v6_rcv_saddr at the same offset.

2012-12-09net: Add support for hardware-offloaded encapsulationJoseph Gasparakis1-0/+5
This patch adds support in the kernel for offloading in the NIC Tx and Rx checksumming for encapsulated packets (such as VXLAN and IP GRE). For Tx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set the right bits in netdev->hw_enc_features. The protocol driver will have to set the skb->encapsulation bit and populate the inner headers, so the NIC driver will use those inner headers to calculate the csum in hardware. For Rx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set again the skb->encapsulation flag and the skb->ip_csum to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In that case the protocol driver should push the decapsulated packet up to the stack, again with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In ether case, the protocol driver should set the skb->encapsulation flag back to zero. Finally the protocol driver should have NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag set in its features.

2012-12-01net: move inet_dport/inet_num in sock_commonEric Dumazet1-15/+17
commit 68835aba4d9b (net: optimize INET input path further) moved some fields used for tcp/udp sockets lookup in the first cache line of struct sock_common. This patch moves inet_dport/inet_num as well, filling a 32bit hole on 64 bit arches and reducing number of cache line misses in lookups. Also change INET_MATCH()/INET_TW_MATCH() to perform the ports match before addresses match, as this check is more discriminant. Remove the hash check from MATCH() macros because we dont need to re validate the hash value after taking a refcount on socket, and use likely/unlikely compiler hints, as the sk_hash/hash check makes the following conditional tests 100% predicted by cpu. Introduce skc_addrpair/skc_portpair pair values to better document the alignment requirements of the port/addr pairs used in the various MATCH() macros, and remove some casts. The namespace check can also be done at last. This slightly improves TCP/UDP lookup times. IP/TCP early demux needs inet->rx_dst_ifindex and TCP needs inet->min_ttl, lets group them together in same cache line. With help from Ben Hutchings & Joe Perches. Idea of this patch came after Ling Ma proposal to move skc_hash to the beginning of struct sock_common, and should allow him to submit a final version of his patch. My tests show an improvement doing so.

2012-08-30netfilter: nf_conntrack_ipv6: improve fragmentation handlingPatrick McHardy1-0/+1
The IPv6 conntrack fragmentation currently has a couple of shortcomings. Fragmentes are collected in PREROUTING/OUTPUT, are defragmented, the defragmented packet is then passed to conntrack, the resulting conntrack information is attached to each original fragment and the fragments then continue their way through the stack. Helper invocation occurs in the POSTROUTING hook, at which point only the original fragments are available. The result of this is that fragmented packets are never passed to helpers. This patch improves the situation in the following way: - If a reassembled packet belongs to a connection that has a helper assigned, the reassembled packet is passed through the stack instead of the original fragments. - During defragmentation, the largest received fragment size is stored. On output, the packet is refragmented if required. If the largest received fragment size exceeds the outgoing MTU, a "packet too big" message is generated, thus behaving as if the original fragments were passed through the stack from an outside point of view. - The ipv6_helper() hook function can't receive fragments anymore for connections using a helper, so it is switched to use ipv6_skip_exthdr() instead of the netfilter specific nf_ct_ipv6_skip_exthdr() and the reassembled packets are passed to connection tracking helpers. The result of this is that we can properly track fragmented packets, but still generate ICMPv6 Packet too big messages if we would have before. This patch is also required as a precondition for IPv6 NAT, where NAT helpers might enlarge packets up to a point that they require fragmentation. In that case we can't generate Packet too big messages since the proper MTU can't be calculated in all cases (f.i. when changing textual representation of a variable amount of addresses), so the packet is transparently fragmented iff the original packet or fragments would have fit the outgoing MTU.

2010-05-11ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tablesPatrick McHardy1-0/+1
This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances, named "tables". Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT6_TABLE. The table number is stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ip6mr setsockopt(), getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT6_TABLE_DFLT) is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pim6reg devices have the table number appended ("pim6regX"), with the exception of devices created in the default table, which are named just "pim6reg" for compatibility reasons. Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules, similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported additionally. Example usage: - bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table: uint32_t table = 123; setsockopt(fd, SOL_IPV6, MRT6_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table)); - create routing rules directing packets to the new table: # ip -6 mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123 # ip -6 mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2010-04-23IPv6: Generic TTL Security Mechanism (final version)Stephen Hemminger1-0/+1
This patch adds IPv6 support for RFC5082 Generalized TTL Security Mechanism. Not to users of mapped address; the IPV6 and IPV4 socket options are seperate. The server does have to deal with both IPv4 and IPv6 socket options and the client has to handle the different for each family. On client: int ttl = 255; getaddrinfo(argv[1], argv[2], &hint, &result); for (rp = result; rp != NULL; rp = rp->ai_next) { s = socket(rp->ai_family, rp->ai_socktype, rp->ai_protocol); if (s < 0) continue; if (rp->ai_family == AF_INET) { setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_TTL, &ttl, sizeof(ttl)); } else if (rp->ai_family == AF_INET6) { setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS, &ttl, sizeof(ttl))) } if (connect(s, rp->ai_addr, rp->ai_addrlen) == 0) { ... On server: int minttl = 255 - maxhops; getaddrinfo(NULL, port, &hints, &result); for (rp = result; rp != NULL; rp = rp->ai_next) { s = socket(rp->ai_family, rp->ai_socktype, rp->ai_protocol); if (s < 0) continue; if (rp->ai_family == AF_INET6) setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_MINHOPCOUNT, &minttl, sizeof(minttl)); setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MINTTL, &minttl, sizeof(minttl)); if (bind(s, rp->ai_addr, rp->ai_addrlen) == 0) break ...

2009-10-19inet: rename some inet_sock fieldsEric Dumazet1-1/+1
In order to have better cache layouts of struct sock (separate zones for rx/tx paths), we need this preliminary patch. Goal is to transfert fields used at lookup time in the first read-mostly cache line (inside struct sock_common) and move sk_refcnt to a separate cache line (only written by rx path) This patch adds inet_ prefix to daddr, rcv_saddr, dport, num, saddr, sport and id fields. This allows a future patch to define these fields as macros, like sk_refcnt, without name clashes. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-09ipv6: Fix the size overflow of addrconf_sysctl arrayJin Dongming1-0/+1
(This patch fixes bug of commit f7734fdf61ec6bb848e0bafc1fb8bad2c124bb50 title "make TLLAO option for NA packets configurable") When the IPV6 conf is used, the function sysctl_set_parent is called and the array addrconf_sysctl is used as a parameter of the function. The above patch added new conf "force_tllao" into the array addrconf_sysctl, but the size of the array was not modified, the static allocated size is DEVCONF_MAX + 1 but the real size is DEVCONF_MAX + 2, so the problem is that the function sysctl_set_parent accessed wrong address. I got the following information. Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106085d>] sysctl_set_parent+0x29/0x3e [<ffffffff8106085d>] sysctl_set_parent+0x29/0x3e [<ffffffff8106085d>] sysctl_set_parent+0x29/0x3e [<ffffffff8106085d>] sysctl_set_parent+0x29/0x3e [<ffffffff8106085d>] sysctl_set_parent+0x29/0x3e [<ffffffff810622d5>] __register_sysctl_paths+0xde/0x272 [<ffffffff8110892d>] ? __kmalloc_track_caller+0x16e/0x180 [<ffffffffa00cfac3>] ? __addrconf_sysctl_register+0xc5/0x144 [ipv6] [<ffffffff8141f2c9>] register_net_sysctl_table+0x48/0x4b [<ffffffffa00cfaf5>] __addrconf_sysctl_register+0xf7/0x144 [ipv6] [<ffffffffa00cfc16>] addrconf_init_net+0xd4/0x104 [ipv6] [<ffffffff8139195f>] setup_net+0x35/0x82 [<ffffffff81391f6c>] copy_net_ns+0x76/0xe0 [<ffffffff8107ad60>] create_new_namespaces+0xf0/0x16e [<ffffffff8107afee>] copy_namespaces+0x65/0x9f [<ffffffff81056dff>] copy_process+0xb2c/0x12c3 [<ffffffff810576e1>] do_fork+0x14b/0x2d2 [<ffffffff8107ac4e>] ? up_read+0xe/0x10 [<ffffffff81438e73>] ? do_page_fault+0x27a/0x2aa [<ffffffff8101044b>] sys_clone+0x28/0x2a [<ffffffff81011fb3>] stub_clone+0x13/0x20 [<ffffffff81011c72>] ? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b And the information of IPV6 in .config is as following.

This patch adds a new sysctl option (disabled by default) which controls whether this option should be sent even with unicast NAs. The need for this arose because certain routers expect the TLLAO in some situations even as a response to unicast NS packets. Moreover, RFC 2461 recommends sending this to avoid a race condition (section 4.4, Target link-layer address) Signed-off-by: Cosmin Ratiu <cratiu@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Add 'autoconf' and 'disable_ipv6' parameters to the IPv6 module. The first controls if IPv6 addresses are autoconfigured from prefixes received in Router Advertisements. The IPv6 loopback (::1) and link-local addresses are still configured. The second controls if IPv6 addresses are desired at all. No IPv6 addresses will be added to any interfaces.

2008-12-16ipv6: Add IPV6_PKTINFO sticky option support to setsockopt()Yang Hongyang1-0/+1
There are three reasons for me to add this support: 1.When no interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data item, the interface specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky optionis is used. RFC3542: 6.7. Summary of Outgoing Interface Selection This document and [RFC-3493] specify various methods that affect the selection of the packet's outgoing interface. This subsection summarizes the ordering among those in order to ensure deterministic behavior. For a given outgoing packet on a given socket, the outgoing interface is determined in the following order: 1. if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data item, the interface is used. 2. otherwise, if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky option, the interface is used. 2.When no IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data is received,getsockopt() should return the sticky option value which set with setsockopt(). RFC 3542: Issuing getsockopt() for the above options will return the sticky option value i.e., the value set with setsockopt(). If no sticky option value has been set getsockopt() will return the following values: 3.Make the setsockopt implementation POSIX compliant.
