ipv6: don't call fib6_run_gc() until routing is ready

2013-09-11T21:04:09+00:00

When loading the ipv6 module, ndisc_init() is called before ip6_route_init(). As the former registers a handler calling fib6_run_gc(), this opens a window to run the garbage collector before necessary data structures are initialized. If a network device is initialized in this window, adding MAC address to it triggers a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event, leading to a crash in fib6_clean_all(). Take the event handler registration out of ndisc_init() into a separate function ndisc_late_init() and move it after ip6_route_init(). Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

vxlan: add ipv6 proxy support

2013-09-01T02:30:01+00:00

This patch adds the IPv6 version of "arp_reduce", ndisc_send_na() will be needed. Cc: David S. Miller Cc: David Stevens Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ndisc: Convert use of typedef ctl_table to struct ctl_table

2013-06-20T06:18:07+00:00

This typedef is unnecessary and should just be removed. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ndisc: Move ndisc_opt_addr_space() to include/net/ndisc.h.

2013-01-21T18:33:14+00:00

This also makes ndisc_opt_addr_data() and ndisc_fill_addr_option() use ndisc_opt_addr_space(). Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ndisc: Introduce __ipv6_neigh_lookup_noref().

2013-01-17T23:38:18+00:00

This function, which looks up neighbour entry for an IPv6 address without touching refcnt, will be used for patches to remove dependency on rt->n (neighbour entry in rt6_info). Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ndisc: Remove tbl argument for __ipv6_neigh_lookup().

2013-01-17T23:38:18+00:00

We can refer to nd_tbl directly. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Change skb->data before using icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect

2012-12-14T18:14:07+00:00

In function ndisc_redirect_rcv(), the skb->data points to the transport header, but function icmpv6_notify() need the skb->data points to the inner IP packet. So before using icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect, change skb->data to point the inner IP packet that triggered the sending of the Redirect, and introduce struct rd_msg to make it easy.

ndisc: Unexport ndisc_{build,send}_skb().

These symbols were exported for bonding device by commit 305d552a ("bonding: send IPv6 neighbor advertisement on failover"). It bacame obsolete by commit 7c899432 ("bonding, ipv4, ipv6, vlan: Handle NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER like NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS") and removed by commit 4f5762ec ("bonding: Remove obsolete source file 'bond_ipv6.c'").

net: Dont use ifindices in hash fns

2012-08-09T23:18:06+00:00

Eric noticed, that when there will be devices with equal indices, some hash functions that use them will become less effective as they could. Fix this in advance by mixing the net_device address into the hash value instead of the device index. This is true for arp and ndisc hash fns. The netlabel, can and llc ones are also ifindex-based, but that three are init_net-only, thus will not be affected. Many thanks to David and Eric for the hash32_ptr implementation!
