net: ipv6: fix returned variable type in ip6_skb_dst_mtu

2021-08-03T11:56:17+00:00

The patch fixing the returned value of ip6_skb_dst_mtu (int -> unsigned int) was rebased between its initial review and the version applied. In the meantime fade56410c22 was applied, which added a new variable (int) used as the returned value. This lead to a mismatch between the function prototype and the variable used as the return value.

net: ipv6: fix return value of ip6_skb_dst_mtu

2021-07-02T18:57:01+00:00

Commit 628a5c561890 ("[INET]: Add IP(V6)_PMTUDISC_RPOBE") introduced ip6_skb_dst_mtu with return value of signed int which is inconsistent with actually returned values. Also 2 users of this function actually assign its value to unsigned int variable and only __xfrm6_output assigns result of this function to signed variable but actually uses as unsigned in further comparisons and calls. Change this function to return unsigned int value. Fixes: 628a5c561890 ("[INET]: Add IP(V6)_PMTUDISC_RPOBE") Reviewed-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: Vadim Fedorenko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: lwtunnel: handle MTU calculation in forwading

2021-06-28T19:42:14+00:00

Commit 14972cbd34ff ("net: lwtunnel: Handle fragmentation") moved fragmentation logic away from lwtunnel by carry encap headroom and use it in output MTU calculation. But the forwarding part was not covered and created difference in MTU for output and forwarding and further to silent drops on ipv4 forwarding path. Fix it by taking into account lwtunnel encap headroom. The same commit also introduced difference in how to treat RTAX_MTU in IPv4 and IPv6 where latter explicitly removes lwtunnel encap headroom from route MTU. Make IPv4 version do the same.

net: allow user to set metric on default route learned via Router Advertisement

2021-01-27T02:39:45+00:00

For IPv4, default route is learned via DHCPv4 and user is allowed to change metric using config etc/network/interfaces. But for IPv6, default route can be learned via RA, for which, currently a fixed metric value 1024 is used. Ideally, user should be able to configure metric on default route for IPv6 similar to IPv4. This patch adds sysctl for the same. Logs: For IPv4: Config in etc/network/interfaces: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp metric 4261413864 IPv4 Kernel Route Table: $ ip route list default via 172.21.47.1 dev eth0 metric 4261413864 FRR Table, if a static route is configured: [In real scenario, it is useful to prefer BGP learned default route over DHCPv4 default route.] Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, P - PIM, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP, T - Table, v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, D - SHARP, > - selected route, * - FIB route S>* 0.0.0.0/0 [20/0] is directly connected, eth0, 00:00:03 K 0.0.0.0/0 [254/1000] via 172.21.47.1, eth0, 6d08h51m i.e. User can prefer Default Router learned via Routing Protocol in IPv4.

net: ipv6: do not consider routes via gateways for anycast address check

2020-04-08T01:26:52+00:00

The behaviour for what is considered an anycast address changed in commit 45e4fd26683c ("ipv6: Only create RTF_CACHE routes after encountering pmtu exception"). This now considers the first address in a subnet where there is a route via a gateway to be an anycast address. This breaks path MTU discovery and traceroutes when a host in a remote network uses the address at the start of a prefix (eg 2600:: advertised as 2600::/48 in the DFZ) as ICMP errors will not be sent to anycast addresses. This patch excludes any routes with a gateway, or via point to point links, like the behaviour previously from rt6_is_gw_or_nonexthop in net/ipv6/route.c. This can be tested with: ip link add v1 type veth peer name v2 ip netns add test ip netns exec test ip link set lo up ip link set v2 netns test ip link set v1 up ip netns exec test ip link set v2 up ip addr add 2001:db8::1/64 dev v1 nodad ip addr add 2001:db8:100:: dev lo nodad ip netns exec test ip addr add 2001:db8::2/64 dev v2 nodad ip netns exec test ip route add unreachable 2001:db8:1::1 ip netns exec test ip route add 2001:db8:100::/64 via 2001:db8::1 ip netns exec test sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 ip route add 2001:db8:1::1 via 2001:db8::2 ping -I 2001:db8::1 2001:db8:1::1 -c1 ping -I 2001:db8:100:: 2001:db8:1::1 -c1 ip addr delete 2001:db8:100:: dev lo ip netns delete test Currently the first ping will get back a destination unreachable ICMP error, but the second will never get a response, with "icmp6_send: acast source" logged. After this patch, both get destination unreachable ICMP replies.

net: ip6_route: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

2020-03-01T05:52:20+00:00

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
