ipv6: fib: fix crash when changing large fib while dumping it

2010-02-12T20:06:35+00:00

When the fib size exceeds what can be dumped in a single skb, the dump is suspended and resumed once the last skb has been received by userspace. When the fib is changed while the dump is suspended, the walker might contain stale pointers, causing a crash when the dump is resumed. BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 IP: [] fib6_walk_continue+0xbb/0x124 [ipv6] PGD 5347a067 PUD 65c7067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ...

xfrm: select sane defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh

2009-07-31T01:52:15+00:00

Choose saner defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh values on init Currently, the xfrm[4|6] code has hard-coded initial gc_thresh values (set to 1024). Given that the ipv4 and ipv6 routing caches are sized dynamically at boot time, the static selections can be non-sensical. This patch dynamically selects an appropriate gc threshold based on the corresponding main routing table size, using the assumption that we should in the worst case be able to handle as many connections as the routing table can. For ipv4, the maximum route cache size is 16 * the number of hash buckets in the route cache. Given that xfrm4 starts garbage collection at the gc_thresh and prevents new allocations at 2 * gc_thresh, we set gc_thresh to half the maximum route cache size. For ipv6, its a bit trickier. there is no maximum route cache size, but the ipv6 dst_ops gc_thresh is statically set to 1024. It seems sane to select a simmilar gc_thresh for the xfrm6 code that is half the number of hash buckets in the v6 route cache times 16 (like the v4 code does).

[NETNS][IPV6] rt6_info - move rt6_info structure inside the namespace

The rt6_info structures are moved inside the network namespace structure. All references to these structures are now relative to the initial network namespace. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETNS][IPV6] ip6_fib - add net to gc timer parameter

2008-03-04T07:28:58+00:00

The fib tables are now relative to the network namespace. When the garbage collector timer expires, we must have a network namespace parameter in order to retrieve the tables. For now this is the init_net, but we should be able to have a timer per namespace and use the timer callback parameter to pass the network namespace from the expired timer. The timer callback, fib6_run_gc, is actually used to be called synchronously by some functions and asynchronously when the timer expires. When the timer expires, the delay specified for fib6_run_gc parameter is always zero. So, I changed fib6_run_gc to not be a timer callback but a function called by the timer callback and I added a timer callback where its work is just to retrieve from the data arg of the timer the network namespace and call fib6_run_gc with zero expiring time and the network namespace parameters. That makes the code cleaner for the fib6_run_gc callers. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETNS][IPV6] ip6_fib - fib6_clean_all handle several network namespaces

2008-03-04T07:27:06+00:00

The function fib6_clean_all takes the network namespace as parameter. That allows to flush the routes related to a specific network namespace. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETNS][IPV6] ip6_fib - make it per network namespace

2008-03-04T07:25:27+00:00

The fib table for ipv6 are moved to the network namespace structure. All references to them are made relatively to the network namespace. All external calls to the ip6_fib functions taking the network namespace parameter are made using the init_net variable, so the ip6_fib engine is ready for the namespaces but the callers not yet.

[XFRM] IPv6: Fix dst/routing check at transformation.

2008-01-28T22:59:36+00:00

IPv6 specific thing is wrongly removed from transformation at net-2.6.25. This patch recovers it with current design. o Update "path" of xfrm_dst since IPv6 transformation should care about routing changes. It is required by MIPv6 and off-link destined IPsec. o Rename nfheader_len which is for non-fragment transformation used by MIPv6 to rt6i_nfheader_len as IPv6 name space.
