ipv6: fix incorrect ipsec fragment

2012-06-09T15:36:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0c1833797a5a6ec23ea9261d979aa18078720b74 ] Since commit ad0081e43a "ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets as needed" the fragment of packets is incorrect. because tunnel mode needs IPsec headers and trailer for all fragments, while on transport mode it is sufficient to add the headers to the first fragment and the trailer to the last. so modify mtu and maxfraglen base on ipsec mode and if fragment is first or last. with my test,it work well(every fragment's size is the mtu) and does not trigger slow fragment path. Changes from v1: though optimization, mtu_prev and maxfraglen_prev can be delete. replace xfrm mode codes with dst_entry's new frag DST_XFRM_TUNNEL. add fuction ip6_append_data_mtu to make codes clearer.

set fake_rtable's dst to NULL to avoid kernel Oops

2012-04-24T04:16:24+00:00

bridge: set fake_rtable's dst to NULL to avoid kernel Oops when bridge is deleted before tap/vif device's delete, kernel may encounter an oops because of NULL reference to fake_rtable's dst. Set fake_rtable's dst to NULL before sending packets out can solve this problem. v4 reformat, change br_drop_fake_rtable(skb) to {} v3 enrich commit header v2 introducing new flag DST_FAKE_RTABLE to dst_entry struct.

ipv6: fix problem with expired dst cache

2012-04-13T16:58:29+00:00

If the ipv6 dst cache which copy from the dst generated by ICMPV6 RA packet. this dst cache will not check expire because it has no RTF_EXPIRES flag. So this dst cache will always be used until the dst gc run. Change the struct dst_entry,add a union contains new pointer from and expires. When rt6_info.rt6i_flags has no RTF_EXPIRES flag,the dst.expires has no use. we can use this field to point to where the dst cache copy from. The dst.from is only used in IPV6. rt6_check_expired check if rt6_info.dst.from is expired. ip6_rt_copy only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort. ip6_dst_destroy release the ort. Add some functions to operate the RTF_EXPIRES flag and expires(from) together. and change the code to use these new adding functions. Changes from v5: modify ip6_route_add and ndisc_router_discovery to use new adding functions. Only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.

BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h

2012-03-04T22:54:34+00:00

If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then that header really should be including and not just expecting it to be implicitly present. We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have been causing compile failures/warnings.

rps: Add flag to skb to indicate rxhash is based on L4 tuple

2011-08-18T03:06:03+00:00

The l4_rxhash flag was added to the skb structure to indicate that the rxhash value was computed over the 4 tuple for the packet which includes the port information in the encapsulated transport packet. This is used by the stack to preserve the rxhash value in __skb_rx_tunnel. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
