ipv6_pinfo.daddr_cache is either NULL or &sk->sk_v6_daddr We do not need 8 bytes, a boolean is enough.

net: use dst_dev_rcu() in sk_setup_caps()

2025-08-30T02:36:32+00:00

Use RCU to protect accesses to dst->dev from sk_setup_caps() and sk_dst_gso_max_size(). Also use dst_dev_rcu() in ip6_dst_mtu_maybe_forward(), and ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward(). ip4_dst_hoplimit() can use dst_dev_net_rcu().

ipv6: fix source address selection with route leak

2024-07-14T14:34:16+00:00

By default, an address assigned to the output interface is selected when the source address is not specified. This is problematic when a route, configured in a vrf, uses an interface from another vrf (aka route leak). The original vrf does not own the selected source address. Let's add a check against the output interface and call the appropriate function to select the source address.

Instead of (struct rt6_info *)dst casts, we can use : #define dst_rt6_info(_ptr) \ container_of_const(_ptr, struct rt6_info, dst) Some places needed missing const qualifiers : ip6_confirm_neigh(), ipv6_anycast_destination(), ipv6_unicast_destination(), has_gateway() v2: added missing parts (David Ahern) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Reviewed-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S.

net/ipv6: set expires in rt6_add_dflt_router().

2024-02-12T10:24:12+00:00

Pass the duration of a lifetime (in seconds) to the function rt6_add_dflt_router() so that it can properly set the expiration time. The function ndisc_router_discovery() is the only one that calls rt6_add_dflt_router(), and it will later set the expiration time for the route created by rt6_add_dflt_router(). However, there is a gap of time between calling rt6_add_dflt_router() and setting the expiration time in ndisc_router_discovery(). During this period, there is a possibility that a new route may be removed from the routing table. By setting the correct expiration time in rt6_add_dflt_router(), we can prevent this from happening. The reason for setting RTF_EXPIRES in rt6_add_dflt_router() is to start the Garbage Collection (GC) timer, as it only activates when a route with RTF_EXPIRES is added to a table.
