net: change accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to affect all RA lifetimes

2023-10-25T09:54:14+00:00

commit 5027d54a9c30bc7ec808360378e2b4753f053f25 upstream. accept_ra_min_rtr_lft only considered the lifetime of the default route and discarded entire RAs accordingly. This change renames accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to accept_ra_min_lft, and applies the value to individual RA sections; in particular, router lifetime, PIO preferred lifetime, and RIO lifetime. If any of those lifetimes are lower than the configured value, the specific RA section is ignored. In order for the sysctl to be useful to Android, it should really apply to all lifetimes in the RA, since that is what determines the minimum frequency at which RAs must be processed by the kernel. Android uses hardware offloads to drop RAs for a fraction of the minimum of all lifetimes present in the RA (some networks have very frequent RAs (5s) with high lifetimes (2h)). Despite this, we have encountered networks that set the router lifetime to 30s which results in very frequent CPU wakeups. Instead of disabling IPv6 (and dropping IPv6 ethertype in the WiFi firmware) entirely on such networks, it seems better to ignore the misconfigured routers while still processing RAs from other IPv6 routers on the same network (i.e. to support IoT applications). The previous implementation dropped the entire RA based on router lifetime. This turned out to be hard to expand to the other lifetimes present in the RA in a consistent manner; dropping the entire RA based on RIO/PIO lifetimes would essentially require parsing the whole thing twice.

net: add sysctl accept_ra_min_rtr_lft

2023-10-25T09:54:14+00:00

commit 1671bcfd76fdc0b9e65153cf759153083755fe4c upstream. This change adds a new sysctl accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to specify the minimum acceptable router lifetime in an RA. If the received RA router lifetime is less than the configured value (and not 0), the RA is ignored. This is useful for mobile devices, whose battery life can be impacted by networks that configure RAs with a short lifetime. On such networks, the device should never gain IPv6 provisioning and should attempt to drop RAs via hardware offload, if available.

xsk: Honor SO_BINDTODEVICE on bind

2023-07-27T06:44:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit f7306acec9aae9893d15e745c8791124d42ab10a ] Initial creation of an AF_XDP socket requires CAP_NET_RAW capability. A privileged process might create the socket and pass it to a non-privileged process for later use. However, that process will be able to bind the socket to any network interface. Even though it will not be able to receive any traffic without modification of the BPF map, the situation is not ideal. Sockets already have a mechanism that can be used to restrict what interface they can be attached to. That is SO_BINDTODEVICE. To change the SO_BINDTODEVICE binding the process will need CAP_NET_RAW. Make xsk_bind() honor the SO_BINDTODEVICE in order to allow safer workflow when non-privileged process is using AF_XDP. The intended workflow is following: 1. First process creates a bare socket with socket(AF_XDP, ...). 2. First process loads the XSK program to the interface. 3. First process adds the socket fd to a BPF map. 4. First process ties socket fd to a particular interface using SO_BINDTODEVICE. 5. First process sends socket fd to a second process. 6. Second process allocates UMEM. 7. Second process binds socket to the interface with bind(...). 8. Second process sends/receives the traffic. All the steps above are possible today if the first process is privileged and the second one has sufficient RLIMIT_MEMLOCK and no capabilities. However, the second process will be able to bind the socket to any interface it wants on step 7 and send traffic from it. With the proposed change, the second process will be able to bind the socket only to a specific interface chosen by the first process at step 4.

Remove DECnet support from kernel

2023-06-21T13:45:38+00:00

commit 1202cdd665315c525b5237e96e0bedc76d7e754f upstream. DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol history museum not in Linux kernel. It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well. Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling. This means that there is still an empty neighbour table for AF_DECNET. The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.
